It's definitely been a very miraculous six weeks. It was a good demonstration of everybody
actually practicing the principles and not just talking about them. Pretty soon into the school
I had a couple of meetings with Susan and she's like, "Just let it be gentle and don't judge."
I didn't really know much about the Course when I got here,
but it's really brought up things I'd been holding down a long time. And I could finally speak.
This is a fabulous program. It's like a can opener. I've been with the Course for
over 33 years and you know for the longest time, I just didn't get it
Being here it really crystallizes like that the thinking is the problem—my thinking;
you know my identification with my ego thinking—and that it's not external to me.
And so to be in this format where it's encouraged to just stop
and go 'Okay what is the feeling, what is Spirit, what does it feel like, what feels right?'
It's been so good. It's been yeah—it's been so joyful.
The ability to face and express and move through the rage that had been
pushed down —it was so profound because it's like, you know...
yeah, bringing the darkness to the light. It's unbelievable for me in this community
in this six weeks I lost so much of my fear of the future. I lost so much fear of the future.
Thank you so so much. I could finally speak and it's been very freeing.
I had been praying to be shown that this is a dream, and I needed some experiences that
really helped me feel that, and i'm just so grateful.
This course is blowing my mind because it's really proving to be true—really really true
and i've never had this experience before.
Jesus is really more real to me than ever.
Realizing how much joy I felt just being there - letting Spirit work through me.
Wow, the perfect place for healing to happen.
I'm so grateful this for this community. There's such a feeling of love here, and sharing, and
being so cared for. Part of me doesn't want to go home!
Like I really see like being here like it forces you—me—to recognize like the conflicts
in my mind. Like this is a very peaceful setting and it's very hard to make, you know,
cases—like the projections you know, they're harder to hold here. And one of the takeaways
I've been getting being here is just how important it is for me to be gentle and patient on myself.
I feel like Spirit gave me so many examples here of,
"You're hearing guidance - trust that. You're hearing guidance - trust that."
Now i feel like there's really a lot more healing in store for me,
and i'm really excited and grateful and thank you.
I have fallen in love with every single person here
I'm just so grateful- there's no words to express the gratitude.
Unbelievable experience - I just felt so loved.
I'm just putting it into my heart so i can carry
all of this beautiful experience with me on the rest of my journey. I'm 74 but I'm just beginning.
