“No one could solve all the problems the world appears to hold. They seem to be on so many levels, in such varying forms and with such varied content, that they confront you with an impossible situation. Dismay and depression are inevitable as you regard them. Some spring up unexpectedly, just as you think you have resolved the previous ones. Others remain unsolved under a cloud of denial, and rise to haunt you from time to time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved.”
The above quotation rings true to me, as I deal with two seemingly different problems. They seem utterly unrelated, but, as Jesus says in this lesson, they are not. The first is difficulty with getting enough sleep, which seems to be exacerbated by loud plumbing in the apartment building in which I live. The second one is with a program on my computer, which unexpectedly stopped working. Totally different issues? No, because they both result from my perception that everything is separate from everything and everyone else. As long as I think I’m here, in physical form, I need to address the problems individually, but, with the help of my inner Teacher, I can learn that what I am experiencing is simply different aspects of one problem. Does this understanding solve the problems? In form, maybe not, but in content, yes.

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
