It’s hard to believe another year has rolled around since last we honored our mentor, world-renowned psychologist, and co-scribe of A Course in Miracles, Bill Thetford. Today is the 36th anniversary of his extraordinary departure from the planet. And none of us think it was an accident that he declared his independence as the country celebrated its independence from tyranny. Just as the USA declared its political independence from Great Britain’s King George III, ACIM helps us claim, and experience, our independence from the bondage of the ego mind. Whereas General George Washington led the way to the country’s ultimate freedom, one might say the Holy Spirit is constantly guiding us on the path to our personal freedom from misinformation, pain, and confusion about our own brilliance, goodness, and right to exist. It would not have been smart for the revolutionaries to shun leadership and run around on their own in search of victory and safety. Nor can we be happy and safe if we ignore our own built-in, even more reliable, intuitive guidance.
As I inwardly asked Bill what we should emphasize today, he indicated that it should be our moment by moment blessed opportunity to change our minds, focus in a more positive and loving way, thereby altering the nature of our experience while here on earth. We can’t be reminded too many times that the inner focus or our attention is immediately translated into the circumstances of our outer lives. The world we experience is the constant and ever-changing mirror of our inner state of mind. And thank goodness for the “ever-changing” part. However misguided we might have been about the source of our own distress or lack, here’s a reminder that it is always the result of the focus of our attention. Thoughts do, indeed, translate into situations, feelings, opportunities or lack thereof, the nature of our relationships, and the quality of life in general. So it will help us be free on this Independence day to “fire” the inaccurate, unhelpful ego voice and “hire” Bill as a mentor. When we do see the merits of changing the focus of our attention, the result will be help arriving in a way that is tailor-made for each of us in all situations.
I surely hope this can be your best “independence day” yet and that you will claim all the help that is pouring out to you as you choose to own your eternal inheritance.
