Gratitude at the David Hoffmeister ACIM Monastery

I wish to thank Jason, and everyone at the Monastery again for welcoming me with such openness. I'm still amazed that I was granted this opportunity to see shining examples of the teachings of A Course in Miracles, and for initially in a lengthy while, I don't feel alone.

Part of me wanted to remain longer, but beneath that desire was the idea that I could be doing so for the incorrect reason; as an easy way in order to avoid my problems. The stronger feeling was, and is, that my travels will continue.

Before I left, Jason asked if I had had any insights. What I'm about to share was not yet clear at that time; only on the drive away achieved it coalesce.

That morning, several lines from the Vance Joy song kept running through my head, “I never must have told you, never must have let you see inside.  acim teacher Don't are interested troubling your brain, won't you let it be?” This confused me as I really could not think of whatever I had stated that I felt regret for.

Eventually, the phrase, “don't are interested troubling your mind” stood out. This reminded me that the most prominent fear I had in coming to the Monastery was that I would somehow interfere with its residents'satisfaction, simply by my presence alone. This belief that I really could negatively affect other people's state of mind has been with me for quite some time, and has colored a lot of my past experiences and relationships.

This fear left my awareness immediately after I arrived. On the drive away it rose again, but I remembered David saying in one of his true videos that minds cannot attack. I cried and laughed, and now feel like the belief has been (has been?) released.

You will find other items that happened that felt important, but I can't think of them right now.
