Be Kind to Yourself

When it comes down to it on this spiritual path, it doesn’t matter how well you can quote from A Course in Miracles or how well you understand it. What really matters is that you start to grow up in the spiritual sense by taking responsibility for your life’s experiences which means you practice true forgiveness. That’s the bottom line; that IS A Course in Miracles! If that is where your mind is at, then I can assure you that you are making spiritual progress regardless of how much or how little of the Course you have delved into.

As Gary’s teachers put it, ‘The truth is an awareness – not a book.’ In addition, if you are working with the Workbook lessons, or just trying to master the forgiveness gig, and you feel you are not making progress or feel guilty about not doing it perfectly, don’t beat yourself up about it. Be kind to yourself. If you could do this all perfectly right off the bat, then you wouldn’t need to do this work in the first place – you’d already be enlightened. And none of us can just skip to the end.
