Where darkness was I look upon the light.
Today was a remarkable day. Everything was pure light: easy, effortless and fun. Where before there was drudgery and disappointment, now I look upon the light, seeing a world full of new possibilities. It’s interesting that today’s lesson is “Where darkness was I look upon the light” because it’s physically become true. There was dark before and now there is light … and I’m looking right at it.
“Father, our eyes are opening at last!”
“Your holy word awaits us, and our sight is finally restored and we can see.”
How is this accomplished??
Look again.
Look again.
Look again.
What happened exactly? I hired a marketing coach. I’ve been receiving emails now for probably over a year and I always delete them without looking at them, but for some odd reason I never unsubscribe from the list.
Then last night I gave a radio interview with Michael Lyon, from the Miracles Prisoner Ministry and he was talking about being healed from alcoholism and he said ‘You can’t do it alone.”
And that sentence – You can’t do it alone – made me sit up straight. I’ve obviously heard that sentence a million times before but it really stood out for me last night. I can’t do it alone. I can’t do anything alone. I need help from my brothers. I need to accept help when it arrives, and not to think that I know what I need. To not think that I’ve got everything figured out, or that I know what I should do, but rather: to let my brother take my hand and show me something new.
So this morning I signed up for an afternoon teleconferencing marketing class and it rocked my world!! It was completely brand new information. The reason I never signed up or took any interest was because I thought I knew all about marketing, but turns out, I don’t know a damn thing.
It was so brand new. I took 15 pages of notes.
It was so unbelievably great. It was like being back in college again.
And not only that, but during the class, the teacher Steve Harrison said: “You need to develop a support team. Hire other people. You don’t want to be in a situation where you are doing everything by yourself. You don’t want to operate alone. You can’t do this alone.”
!!!!!!
You can’t do this alone.
It’s like someone is sending me a message.
I can’t do this alone.
Thank the good Lord.
“We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom you created. Now we see that darkness is our own imaging, and light is there for us to look upon. Christ’s vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love comes.
God is in everything I see. He is in the emails that I delete without reading.
My eyes are opening at last!
Light is all there is. God is in everything.

Lisa! OMG! Thank you so much for the information on ACIM and the prison system work! I just recently reconnected with my sister who is serving a 15 year sentence for drugs. She has taken 70 plus classes/courses in the year that she has been there including the 12 step and Faith/Character programs. She is totally a different person now, but then again, so am I! I have signed her up to receive the materials offered, including the ACIM and workbook lessons. She and I just discussed getting this material for her and wishing she had internet access to your blog for extra help and then BAM! you post how to do it! Thank you so much! You’re reaching farther than you can even imagine!!!! I love you!
