3. If you’re feeling helpless, help someone.
-Aung San Suu Kyi

4. Only Love is Real
From ACIM
Our exercises have been an invitation to your inner guide, humbly asking for guidance back to this belief
This is fantastic, because your inner guide is committed to teaching you this truth, all we have to do is ask for help

5. The Course Doesn’t Suggest
That we deny the fear of the world
Instead we invite our inner guide to guide us to the right-minded perception of these fears
When we do this, we are led to find solutions rather than focusing on sadness, we are guided back to love!

6. Each Subtle Shift
Has surrendered your worldly fears to your inner guide for healing
Each time you did this instead of following your ego, you invited your inner guide to reinterpret your fear from a loving perspective

7. In Doing So
You were guided to a new perception, a miracle
Returning to your truth, now you know that the miracle mind doesn’t deny fear, it sees it as an assignment to learn and grow
Recognize this is a lifelong commitment

8. You Begin to Understand
Love is crucial in the world, including loving yourself
You have the capacity to become a miracle worker in the world

9. What Did You Come Here For?
Maybe healing a relationship, earning more money, overcoming addiction, or letting go of some of your fear
Hopefully you’ve started to achieve these things
Hopefully you may be ready to take the next step

10. The True Purpose of the Work
Healing your mind, so you can have a greater effect on the world

11. The Ego Might Trip You Up
It convinces us we are helpless or not enough
But, now we know better than to side with the ego
The spiritual connection you have ignited is your greatest power

12. Your Super Power
The spiritual connection you have ignited is your greatest power
Teachers like Jesus, Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Buddha, Nelson Mandela used their power to spread love and transformation
They tapped into our collective consciousness of love

13. Choosing Love Over Fear
Each time one chooses love over fear, they are a bridge for all others to follow their path
Choosing love, creates a new energetic patter
I see this so often in my classroom, if I choose love, the energy changes instantly

14. This Week
We make the conscious decision to understand the effect our choices have on the world

15. If You Listen
To your inner guide, you will know “where to go, what to say, and what to do.”
All that is required is a desire to serve and heal

16. 4 Steps for Miracle Working
1. Your purpose is to heal your mind
2. Continuously witness and surrender the fear that blocks your purpose
3. Listen to your inner guide and trust in the path
4. Choose love and know you’re changing the pattern of the world

17. You Are Prepared for This Week

These daily right actions are all you need to do to serve in your highest capacity

25. Conclusion- Living a Miraculous Life
The Buddha- Read Aloud p

26. The Golden Buddha
A beautiful metaphor for our own lives.
We are all golden Buddhas, but we grow to believe we are made of clay.
The ego covers our inner light and masks our truth
Now we can embrace our light and reconnect to the Golden Buddha within

27. Symbols We Have Used in MCM
Flashlight- We shined it upon our dark minds with the willingness to look at the ego’s illusions
Chisel- We chipped away at our clay exterior by shifting our perspectives, practicing gratitude and embracing forgiveness

28. Symbols Continued
Hammer- We’ve broken through layers of darkness to unleash golden inner light

29. New Job
Keep chiseling to uncover more and more love each day

30. Typically One of Two Things
1. You are inspired and commit to deepening your spiritual practice each day
2. You feel great and conclude that the work is over. Within a few weeks the ego convinces you that you are healed and no longer need the daily practice

31. The Ego Has Been With You a Lifetime
We started only 6 weeks ago
ACIM says we can host love or be hostage to the ego
Each day is a new opportunity to decide for love, inviting your inner guide as your teacher

32. Re-cap of the Seven Daily Practices
Be the gentle witness
Be willing to choose love
Shift your perspective
Foster a gratitude attitude
Practice the F word
Expect miracles
Reflect and recap

33. Your New Job Continued
Isn’t to figure everything out
Is to invite your inner guide to be your teacher

34. The Flashlight
Your witnessing, willingness to change, and miraculous shift in perception are the flashlight
Accept that your job isn’t to make things right, but to fearlessly shine light on what is wrong & let your inner guide lead to learn and grow

35. 3 Steps for the Flashlight
1. Be the Gentle Witness
Key is to be nonjudgmental
Don’t judge your ego with your ego
No right or wrong way to this work
Just witness your ego in action and remind yourself of the false perceptions you have chosen

36. 3 Steps for the Flashlight
2. Be Willing to Choose Love
Be willing to let go of yesterday and see today as new
Choosing your inner guide is a moment to moment decision, it only requires your willingness to decide for love
Use this affirmation:
I choose to see love instead of this

37. 3 Steps for the Flashlight
3. Shift Your Perspective
ACIM teaches “ The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice.”
Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal.

38. The Chisel
Represents gratitude and forgiveness in the miracle worker
Foster a Gratitude Attitude; each day, intend to be grateful
Practice the F Word, this is where your quantum shifts come from
We allow, forgiveness, remain willing to forgive and allow your inner guide to lead you

39. The Hammer
Living a miraculous life takes faith in and commitment to miracles
Expecting miracles helps all the other principles set in and helps your work stick
Being still and quieting your mind is essential for true shifts to occur, meditation is my salvation
Slow down to experience the miracle fully

40. Miracles are the maximum service you can give to another.
