Finding Peace - Carol Howe's Weekly Spiritual Podcast

At a recent art exhibit opening, a star of the HBO series, The Sopranos, was present as he is a fervent admirer of the artist whose work was on display and an owner of several of the pieces. Such fun to watch his passion and appreciation for this wonderful artist’s work (Francesco de Mura). So - a great reminder to assess your own passion level and move toward full-out loving and expressing in all areas of life. And a thought to keep close in your heart: Our Creator passionately loves “showing up as YOU!” Now that’s something to be grateful for!

Well, whoever would have guessed that the lowly pressure washer could teach us a lesson. Just as a layer of mildew grows on driveways and other surfaces in humid climates, a layer of fear, confusion, and distress grows over our eternal peace of mind that is always, already present in our lives. Neither driveway nor happiness is disturbed by these temporary surface coverings. Happily - that pressure washer removes mildew instantly/completely and releasing our grievances leads to happiness and safety with equal speed and ease. For help with that “inner cleaning” our See How Life Works videos will provide all the tools you need.

Once again, we can delight in the fact that thousands of years of profound metaphysical teaching and more recent discoveries in quantum physics have joined hands. So it’s time to reeducate ourselves, to realize everything we experience originates in the mind. No small task!! To move in the direction of experiencing the perennial truth of Oneness, we are instructed to think of everything from the inclusive standpoint of “we,” rather than the exclusive ego position of “I.” “We” vibrates at a higher frequency that “I” and that higher frequency is where we experience the peaceful, fulfilling, and secure life. So don’t try to solve problems the old way; focus instead on raising that frequency and watch difficulties mysteriously melt away! And, as always, you’ll get a big assist in the right direction by allowing the See How Life Works videos to help you out! https://www.carolhowe.com/p/courses

Many creatures physically back up or run away when threatened, and at least psychologically, we have been conditioned to do the same. The conventional wisdom is to avoid, close down, contract, hate, object to, or resist the threatening element. This ALWAYS makes things worse in the long run. No matter how difficult or distressing a situation, it will ALWAYS change for the better if we open up to it, expand, accept and love all that is involved. 100% of the time! Any time we choose, we can start over and love everything/everyone, especially ourselves for not loving in the first place. Objecting to anything is why it’s there. And loving is how it will disappear. Our See How Life Works series helps to make this idea both clear and lots of fun! www.carolhowe.com Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook

July 4, 1988 was Bill Thetford’s (co-scribe of A Course In Miracles) Independence Day from this world. Bill steadily applied the universal principles set forth in the Course, and by the end of his life, had successfully released all his grievances and experienced joy beyond description! And he has led the way for all of us. So today we renew our commitment to ourselves, know the path he took is within our reach, steadily untangle ourselves from our own egos, and follow in his footsteps toward release from all pain, fear, and limitation. And freedom is ours! And our See How Life Works videos speed us all on our way to a very Happy (and permanent) Independence Day! www.carolhowe.com Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook

My first real job out of college required more than I thought it was possible to deliver, but when you make a commitment, resources show up, you take one day at a time, and quite miraculously, it all works out and feels great. And since that position involved working with teenagers, it cemented my love affair with them that lasts until this day. So here’s to celebrating and encouraging the teenager in all of us - willing to explore how life works, open to learning and seeing what’s around the corner, and responding eagerly to being listened to and cared for. If you’re ready to let your “teenager” come out and play, by all means check out our See How Life Works series for helpful hints.

From the perspective of numerology, 33 is the most influential of master numbers and represents “offering guidance to the world.” So what is that guidance for our modern world? One of the most critically important points for all of us to understand - our world reflects our attitude, thoughts, beliefs, and unexamined ideas. Although the world seems huge, objective and powerful, it really is our mindset looking back at us - exact to the last detail, and we’re the ones with the power! What could be more important than finally understanding and living from this knowledge? Join with me to discover the most efficient way to change attitude with little effort on our parts, but bringing wonderful and life-changing experience. Our See How Life Works series is the perfect guide for this essential, mind-changing enterprise. www.carolhowe.com Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Our outer lives are mirrors of our inner attitudes. Notice the characteristics of the image in a mirror - it looks back at us but does not initiate. It takes no time nor effort on our part to appear when we stand in front of it, or change in response to our prayers or demands. In the same way, our world appears in effortless response to what we believe, request, and pay attention to and cannot substantively change until attitude changes. And, happily, we are entirely in charge of an attitude upgrade. Nothing needs to be different for us to start to change our minds. Our See How Life Works series is a great aid in shifting that attitude back to one where your reflected world is a kinder and more peaceful one.  Enjoy your new world! www.carolhowe.com https://www.facebook.com/seehowlifeworks/

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook We’ve been told from many sources that we can re-create our past history because our past actually no longer exists. Any moment is literally a new beginning. That means we can “remember” a past with only kind and supportive people being present for us. No villains or enemies. Notice how suspicious and unwilling the ego mind is to recreate a past without pain and difficulty. Ask yourself, “Would I be delighted to find no one has ever hurt me?” Listen carefully to this most important and revealing answer to see why we do not jump with joy at recognizing this liberating choice - why we prefer being victims instead. Our See How Life Works series is designed to facilitate this life-saving choice for a happier life! www.carolhowe.com

They finish one drawing and are happy then to move on with a new different sheet. We can learn from them. Each day is literally a new clean unblemished canvas for drawing the life of your choosing. We can be as excited as children in creating a new happier experience with no requirement to bring yesterday’s pictures along. They are not impelled to keep drawing the same picture over and over endlessly and we need not be either. Such an important fact of life and one we’ll explore from several angles. Enjoy and see how this is possible in our See How Life Works series. www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Happy Easter! And how can we not talk about resurrection, as that’s the central topic of this day. But here, it’s about our own coming back to life. So this is for everyone, not just those who subscribe to a certain religion. We deaden ourselves when we close down and want to live the ego-driven, separated, “It’s all about me” life. We’ve been duped into believing this brings safety and happiness. It does not. Everyone who has every played on a team, sung in a chorus, or participated in a group event knows that great feeling of giving fully of one’s self. And ever so much greater the joy when we come back to life by opening up once again to the brilliant Oneness of our being. Watch our See How Life Works series to explore more of this topic. www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Beautifully trained musicians and other performers can teach us something as they let life flow through their talent and not be impeded by it. We can also use our special talents, not in service to the ego, but to extend the joyful qualities of life to others, thereby strengthening those same qualities in ourselves. A major law of life is that what we give or offer to others is increased in us. Therefore, it would be wise to note what we offer - to ourselves AND others - as we will always be the recipients! Not knowing this law does not give us a pass. Let our See How Life Works videos provide a map and compass for riding peacefully on the “sea of life.” www.carolhowe.com

They see beyond mere form and we are invited to follow their lead as they demonstrate unconditional acceptance, providing us with the perfect role model. Our See How Life Works videos clarify how caring for others, rather than it’s “all about me,” is our fast track to healing since what we offer others always increases within ourselves. www.carolhowe.com

What’s more, in his life-changing spiritual revelation, Amenhotep IV, who later changed his name to Akhenaten in honor of this one Source - Aten - experienced this Source as light. And here today, in A Course In Miracles (and other spiritual texts), we find many references to Light. Lesson 61 - “I am the light of the world” So our job is actually to BE the light of the world, extend our love, and resist nothing. As a friend says, “Glow to know” and watch how graciously life unfolds. Our See How Life Works series will take you by the hand and lead you along this light-filled way. www.carolhowe.com

That can be our default way of living once we’re willing to clear out old ideas that do not serve and that keep us afraid and stuck. A good place to begin is with our presumptions about cause and effect. What we experience at any given moment has its cause in that moment, not in the past and future. Exploring the real causes of our distress leads to freedom and peace of mind. You’re invited to watch our See How Life Works series to discover the possibilities and processes for reclaiming your sovereign, eternal right to a happy life where you feel cared for, assured that you are safe, and your welfare secure. A spa for the soul indeed! www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook When we were young and the facts of the world presenting themselves, we associated ideas in ways that were false. For instance, we might have believed all cats were “girls” and all dogs were “boys” because we didn’t know any better. Those misconnected dots we easily discarded as we matured. However, we also connected dots back then about ourselves, our worth, and basic nature that we have NOT known how to explore, and thus, discard. So we’re asked to do that now. Look at the beliefs we put in place when we were very young and how 1) they are untrue and 2) are hurting us. Give yourself and the world a gift. Reconnect the dots (rewire your brain) and let your rebirth into Love and Light be your goal in this season of remembrance. Our See How Life Works series can speed you on your way to reconnecting those dots to bring you peace. www.carolhowe.com

In this case, the presentation was at the top of Vail pass in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Come along on a winter camping trip to remember once again our purity and innocence, veiled from us (no pun intended) by our fear. Each new moment is as pristine as the new-fallen snow and we can always choose again how we will experience it - see ourselves and others in a more generous light and watch our lives miraculously and easily unfold before us.

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook For thousands of years, the seers, mystics, and poets among us have passed on their revelatory experiences of seeing the world only as light. They ALL agree that our seeming travails witness only to the darkness that represents lack of awareness in our own minds and not to the ultimate truth. Enjoy the words of the Danish philosopher and author, Martinus, as he beautifully restates this eternal truth. The practice of A Course In Miracles guides us to the discovery and relinquishment of that darkness in our minds with the ultimate glorious outcome of directly experiencing our eternal basic nature as loving Light. Please join us at See How Life Works as we celebrate the promise of this season of Light. www.carolhowe.com

But we can, and must, eventually choose peace over conflict and union over separation - the only sane choice. Of all the things for which we can be thankful, chief among them should be our ever-present option to change our minds, and thus, change our experience. And that window of opportunity never closes, always guarantees happy results, and is ever within our grasp. Let our See How Life Works series clarify the process of offering only what you want to experience, rather than the “gift” of guilt, and watch your circumstances improve as your heart opens. www.carolhowe.com

We internally feel in exile also, moving through the circumstances of our lives trying endlessly to find the comfort and belonging of Home. Today, see how we have never actually wandered away nor been banished, but have only narrowed our focus to “It’s all about me!” A change of mind, a change of purpose, a willingness to adopt a more inclusive perspective and we are definitely headed for the happiness and peace of Home!

In this particular case, the unlikely country of Romania was our “classroom.” After attending a retreat workshop on healing relationships, our wild ride - and it was VERY wild - through the countryside began. Please join us on our whirlwind adventure where we experienced in no uncertain terms that with the right attitude, you can sail through any experience, no matter how unexpected or gravely dangerous. A Course In Miracles began 50 years ago when Dr. Helen Schucman heard the inner dictation say, “Please take notes. This is A Course in Miracles.” And so began this amazing work the purpose of which is our peace of mind. And we add our note to Helen’s. The Course, indeed, delivers what it promises and deep serenity pays off. It not only allows one to feel wonderful and have lighthearted fun, it can save your life.

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Pretend you don’t have any power. Then take from someone else in order to have. This creates upset since it’s contrary to our basic nature that only wants to give. Then decide that they, not you, are responsible for the upset, they must want to harm you, and now they have become the enemy. The more enemies we have, the more powerless we feel, and the more desperately and insanely we try to recover that power. Something terribly wrong here. Take a look at how the headhunters of Ecuador try to resolve that problem and realize there is a better way! With no enemies, I don’t have to try to collect power by taking the life of something or someone else and no need to shrink heads to keep the avenging spirits at bay. Changing our minds is a much nicer cleaner way, I promise, than shrinking all those heads! Watch our See How Life Works films and they will guide you through the process of how to change our minds. www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Joy is our birthright, an attribute of our very being, and - most important - always present. Our lack of experience with joy does not denote it’s absence, but our focus elsewhere, our preoccupation with ego demands. Young children, before layers of programming and conditioning, are naturally joyful. In this way, they are our teachers and remind us of what’s possible. Adults are burdened with years of perfected defenses but still there is hope for us. Join me for an unexpected and unforgettable journey into the stunningly clear, primal state of joy, proving that, indeed, it has not left and available when we move out of fear and align with the frequency where joy resides. Watch our See How Life Works films to find out just how this “upward” re-programming occurs. www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Sometimes circumstances arrive as challenges for our growing and stretching and sometimes they come as recognizable gifts, proving that we determine our experience by operating out of love or fear, being open or closed, choosing peace or upset. And our choice is contagious. Most communication with others is on an energy level, rather than through verbal or physical means. And so it was confirmed on the occasion of visiting the Botanical Gardens where we witnessed transformation right before our eyes. Any place can become a garden of good will, celebration, and delight if we choose to challenge our programming and befriend all whom we encounter.

Commitment unlocks the door to moving forward. The occasion of teaching my first A Course In Miracles class afforded this and other valuable and unforgettable lessons in seeing how life works - what happens when you follow your guidance and the missed opportunities when you don’t. Our goal is to assist you in experiencing greater happiness and fulfillment as you commit, take a step toward facing fears, and watch your own genius begin to flower. We are guided to help you recognize and follow through with your own guidance!! Come visit us at See How Life Works and save yourself some time and hassle.

And we need not go beyond our own back yards for that perfect opportunity. My “partner in salvation” was a big snake and he/she taught me a great deal. And the lesson to be learned, over and over, is not to judge, condemn, or hurt anything as we do so at our own peril. We base our judgment on partial and tainted evidence, fueled by our own fear-driven programming and conditioning. No decision based on fear will bring results we truly want. Yet, happily, from our mistakes we can learn. To find out more about the specifics of why we judge and how to stop, our film series offers clear, workable and entertaining answers.

And all things become a rich adventure when that idea becomes deeply anchored. Come along on a trip to Washington, DC for an unexpected and wonderful experiment in following your guidance - strange though it may be, the help that always shows up when you do, and the life-changing experience of treating one’s self and others with dignity and respect. Kind and open-hearted treatment of one another is fun, exciting, rewarding, and anything but a sacrifice. If, for only a little while, we all came out of the dark recesses of fear of our fellow man, a rich and delightful transformation would occur. What better place to prove this than Washington, DC! www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Just as being open-minded prevents chronic fear, it also allows your good to appear in your life. Sometimes without any apparent cause. But most certainly there is powerful cause, invisible though it is. Remember without fail that our outer world in all its aspects, large and small, is an intimate and faithful mirror of our inner state of mind or attitude. Thus, when you approach your fellow man - and all else - from an open, welcoming perspective, good in all its forms inevitably comes forward to meet you. When you shrink from various aspects of your life, and your world seems lacking and small, turn immediately inward, start the change of mind process and you, too, will find yourself a magician!

Please join me for a hike through the desert on a Vision Quest to learn to face fear. Except I couldn’t find any. Learn how I unwittingly prevented fear and take the message to heart. When we stay open, accepting, and willing to face any situation, feeling, emotion, or perception, an amazing thing happens. Feeling safe is optional for anyone if you meet safety’s requirements. And those requirements are internal and not situational. Try them for yourself and see how much better you feel. And lots more details for staying safe, and what prevents it, on our See How Life Works films. Don’t miss your chance to see how life can really work in your favor! www.carolhowe.com

In this particular case - fear! Two important ideas are explored: Any event or moment in our lives can be experienced through the frequency of love or fear, completely determining our joy or distress thereby. And the world we inhabit, down to the last detail, is a mirror of our state of mind. So we would be wise to become better acquainted with that inner life and make the necessary changes. For those who unwittingly cause themselves to be fearful, and that would be all of us, some essential steps for regaining a sense of safety are included.

We defend against those who see the world differently from us. We have decided, unwarranted though it is, that those who see differently must constitute an actual or anticipated attack. But we all see differently! The worlds we “inhabit” are all subjective extensions of our programming and conditioning. Learn how the brain with its programming decides what you do or do not perceive. We are urgently called to be pioneers in broadening our perspectives. “Take the risk” of choosing to see everyone as inherently the same - worthy of being loved - despite our outer differences. Then watch as the fog clears in your mind and a much happier life, always already present, appears before you eyes. A Course In Miracles and our See How Life Works films are perfect for guiding you into the uncharted territory of living with everyone as a friend. It could save your life! www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Peace of mind is not boring! If one thinks peace means sitting around doing nothing, time to upgrade that belief! We cannot accurately evaluate a system from within it. A Course In Miracles presents a much broader and more comprehensive mindset than the beliefs and fears that dominate the world’s thinking. And, thus, can lead us to a more accurate, helpful, and peace-inducing perspective. A deeply-held worldview is the notion that defenses make us safe. Through not understanding how life works, this seems sensible and not worthy of debate. Nothing could be further from the truth! We deserve better than what our lack of understanding has set up for us - the attack/defense cycles that ruin our peace of mind. A Course In Miracles offers brilliant guidance in breaking those cycles, replacing them with more loving/helpful ones. And our See How Life Works films make these all-important ideas practical, comprehensible and bring all the pieces together. Definitely not boring! www.carolhowe.com

Get your Free copy of “The Best Guide Ever to A Course in Miracles” by Carol Howe, https://www.carolhowe.com/p/ebook Peace of mind might not sound too dramatic, but when you realize it paves the way to security, happiness, and prosperity, it’s worth taking a second look. Before we can have peace, we have to see our ancient love affair with conflict and be willing to change our minds. As A Course In Miracles asks of us, “Do you want to be right or happy?” We need to become mindful of our choices and the experiences they bring. If we prefer being right, someone or something has to be wrong - and all our trouble begins. A trip to Turkey and an exquisite experience of having all thoughts be still. The Course with all its repetitive lessons is about reducing conflict and revealing the peace that is already present as our birthright. Reluctant learners though we are, A Course In Miracles knows how to guide us to peace, and thus, contentment and security. Peace of mind is actually a big deal - don’t dismiss until you’ve tried it! www.carolhowe.com

That’s to be expected because this focus does not feed the ego mind, which would like to dismiss it. Good to know that that doesn’t matter! www.carolhowe.com
