Fear is an extension of the survival instinct, but most of what we fear has nothing to do with survival. What we are really afraid of is losing a piece of our identity, in the form of our ideas or stuff. When these are threatened, we become anxious and stressed and expend enormous energy trying to keep these extensions of ourselves protected and safe. But it’s a hopeless task because we can’t control everything in the external world. There’s only one escape from a life informed by fear: Trust that ‘what is,’ is for the
Highest purpose.

Your message today is a miracle to me. Every day I pray, “what would you have me do to be of service to this world?” Today’s lesson in ACIM is in line with your message. As I quiet my mind, the actions become 2nd nature. God Bless :o)
Thank you Maggie! We are in alignment with the Course in Miracles. Interestingly, Jerry Jampolsky and Diane Cirincioni have lived across the dock from us for years and are dear friends. Jerry recently transitioned.
