I want to thank Jason, and everyone at the Monastery again for welcoming me with such openness. I’m still amazed that I was granted this possibility to see shining examples of the teachings of A Course in Miracles, and for the first time in a lengthy while, I do not feel alone.
Section of me wanted to keep longer, but beneath that desire was the idea that I would be this for the wrong reason; as a means in order to avoid my problems. a course in miracles The stronger feeling was, and is, that my travels will continue.
Before I left, Jason asked if I’d had any insights. What I’m about to fairly share was not yet clear in those days; only on the drive away made it happen coalesce.

Eventually, the phrase, “don’t are interested troubling your mind” stood out. This reminded me that the most prominent fear I’d in visiting the Monastery was that I’d somehow interfere having its residents’reassurance, 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.

There are other issues that happened that felt important, but I can’t think of them right now.
