thoughts from me to you
The judger always feeled judged
There's a thinking in ACIM that if we attack or judge another, in any way, we essentially end up attacking ourselves, and feeling whatever we projected out, like a boomerang. The judger always feels judged, the rejector always feels rejected, the attacker always feels...
I am not my thoughts
Not only am I not my thoughts, I am not my thought system.Funny how you can know something, and hear the saying a million times and then somehow, it takes on a whole new meaning.Understanding that I am not my thoughts, and I can observe them, rather than let them...

Trauma Response
When we experience trauma, our survival instincts kick in. Sometimes we replay the events over and over, trying to work out exactly what happened, why and how it could have been prevented. We try to understand it. Other times we withdraw. We tell ourselves it's done,...

Your reaction to peoples' behaviour is a mirror into your soul. Your triggers are signposts towards unhealed parts of yourself - the parts you often deny; the parts that are often linked to not feeling good enough. You can choose to be grateful for these triggers and...
