Retraining My Mind Following The ACIM Workbook - Introduction

Last Monday, I started a free course with Marianne Williamson.

And she brought to my attention A Course in Miracles again.

I had heard about it, seen it quoted many times before, but never had any interest to look into it myself.

Obviously, it was the moment for that to change.

I looked it up online. And fell in love with the Workbook for Students.

I followed the instructions and started doing the exercises, one each day.

And they resonated with my inner knowing so much, that it just didn't feel right to do it all by myself.

Today, I posted an invitation to join me in all parts of my online Tribe.

And somebody said: "I'll do it with you Rita! I tried to start it last year but it dropped away. Would be great to have an 'accountability partner'."

And made me feel just amazing.

We are restarting with the Lesson 1 tomorrow.

For now, my intention is to make a short post here every day about the particular exercise and share the link in all parts of my online Tribe to give everybody the opportunity to receive the reminder (and post a comment).

Do you feel at least intrigued? You could join us and give it a try.

As it says in the Introduction: "The exercises are very simple. They do not require a great deal of time, and it does not matter where you do them. They need no preparation."

Feel free to post a comment of any length and detail here or in any place you see this shared AFTER you do the exercise at least once.

UPDATE: If you are interested giving the Workbook For Students of A Course In Miracles a try and haven't started yet, please, let me know if you would like me to support you. On January 1st, 2019, I will start a new series from the beginning, with e-mail support and a special group on FB, if there is enough interest.

The Story About A Cold

It came as an absolute surprise.

Actually it didn't.

For a couple of weeks already, the virus was signaling its presence around me.

On Friday, I had a free public coaching session with a coach that I would hire on the spot, if I would only have the money to pay her. During the session, the theme of sickness came up as a basic fear in the system.

On Saturday, I was braving and participating in a local event for entrepreneurs and felt really great about it. On Sunday, I woke up with a head cold. I was actually happy to have it, because that meant that my body is fighting a potential killer. I was not resisting it, but I was using Greg's Good Day Method every night and every morning and was pretty sure that it will not last longer than a day or two. That's how it has been for the last couple of years for me. In the evening, I even got some fever and was even more happy, because that meant that the immune system was speeding up the healing process.

On Wednesday, I felt good enough to attend an even bigger and fancier local event for entrepreneurs. After the event, I went to my daughter's school to get the paperwork done in order for her to receive a bit more pocket money for the next two months. It ended well, but the process was not very smooth and I started feeling that something was off with it. Afterwards, I met my daughter and we drove home on a bus together. A couple of times she told me to stop talking about money. And I was thankful to her for that, because I didn't like what I was doing myself. I wasn't talking about money. I was talking about how poor I am.

That night, I woke up with a nasty cough and couldn't get back to sleep for 3 hours.

The next morning though, I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go to the town to finalize the paperwork (next week, it would be too late and my daughter would need to wait for the money to come in for another months) and to visit another establishment to file a case against an agency that owes me money for translation jobs finished months ago.

I didn't feel well and the question popped into my attention field: "Would you do any of this, if you would be rich?" My honest answer was: "No, at least not today. But ... my bank account says that I am not rich and that I need to fight for those tiny sums of money today."

So, off I went. Feeling crappy, but happy that I still can move and that the weather is gorgeous.

The establishment couldn't help me because of the character of my agreement with the agency. The only solution left for me would be going to court with it.

At my daughter's school, it didn't go so smoothly either, but I got the paper I needed to get to the other establishment. Only it cost me walking to and fro more than once, waiting on a bench in the park for half an hour, and being unnaturally persuasive. The belief that I am not rich and need that money to come in even though it's not much and will be paid only for 2 months until my daughter is 19 helped me to pull it through. The truth that I am rich and actually the source of all that can be considered wealth and value made it feel unnatural.

Even though I had a wonderful session with my one and only client later the same day, and he told me, that he wanted to continue working with me and would pay me for the next month in a week, my body had the hardest night afterwards. I was thanking it and accepting the consequences of my own decision to feel and act like I would be poor and put it out there even though it most definitely needed to stay home and be supported in its battle with the virus.

The next day, the body felt week, but the symptoms hadn't worsened. I didn't beat myself up knowing that such events are a natural part of our journey here, that we will never be done with falling into believing the reality of our dream even though we are aware that and how we created every part of it. But I took it easy, stayed home and let the body do its job of staying alive.

The night after that, I slept like a baby and felt almost completely healthy the next morning. :)

How to Believe on Demand

Do you know what you want to experience in the future?

How sure are you on the scale of 1 to 10 that it will come true?

Is it hard to believe that nice things that you want will happen to you?

I know where you are. Been there, done that, and bought a bunch T-shirts.

For a very long time, I could not understand how people can believe something on demand.

I could believe what seemed believable and only hope what seemed less believable even on a good day.

But even the Bible seemed to suggest that we can ask for what we want and receive it IF WE BELIEVE IT (Mt. 8, 5-13; Lk 18, 1-8; Jm 13-18 etc.).

Not to speak about all the Law of Attraction teachings.

In the 40 years of my spiritual quest, I had come far, even experienced more than one personal Christ revelation, but believing that I will experience what I want was still a closed chest.

And then, it just sprung open: a friend mentioned Neville Goddard, I googled him, started reading, and BAM! I knew how to believe and consciously create my future!

It turned out believing is FEELING as if the desire HAS BEEN FULFILLED already.
And there is no doubt I can do that. :)

Now, I am enjoying consciously creating all kinds of experiences for myself and others more and more easily and naturally.

And having so much fun with it!

And helping others to learn that, too!

I have created two Facebook groups for that: Success Without Stress With Rita JC and Optimal Health With Rita JC .

My New Life Begins

After listening to this recording with Jim Rohn I realized, what I have been doing at least for the last couple of decades: creating the final part of this lifetime that might bear the title "My Poor Old Age".

And I have been extremely successful at that.

Sitting with that recording, I decided to choose a different story for the coming years of this life.

I am not really sure about the title yet, but the direction is clear for me: a prosperous and deeply satisfying last part of this lifetime for myself and the world a better place for the generations to come.

The first step that I took was jointing a unique certification course at the Entrepreneur Institute and making the first of  the 12 payments for it.

It started today and is resonating completely with my longing to organically combine deep spirituality with successful entrepreneurship.

I still have more than 2 weeks to experience it and to drop out if it doesn't feel right to stay.

But, for now, I am expecting it to work and bring desired changes into my experience.

And make the whole world a more harmonious and enjoyable place by the ripple effects of that.

Since the beginning of the year, the main focus of my journey has been on the transformation of my relationship with money and business.

Lots of old wounds and beliefs have been making this relationship a constant battle field and roller coaster for decades.

Lots have healed and transformed already during these past 6 months.

Now, it feels like I have stepped into a parallel universe with a very different me and circumstances I create.

Feels rather scary but very exciting at the same time. And I'm really curious about what comes next.

Five days ago I purchased 2 new domain names, paid for one year of website hosting, and engaged my youngest son in creating a new blog for me.

As soon as it is active, I will invite you to follow me over there and become part of my journey into this new expansion of consciousness.

Why Is Manifesting Such A Struggle For Me?

Have you known about the Law Of Attraction for some time already?

Have you listened to audios with Abraham-Hicks and other teachers of it, read books, and maybe even participated in some courses to make use of it in your life?

And the more you tried the more frustrated you got?

Until even knowing what you want became a struggle?

Yeah, I hear you loud and clear. Because that's what happened with me as well. :)

Yesterday, I re-watched this video by one of my beloved teachers GP Walsh.

And realized, that GP formulated precisely, what I was missing in all the Law of Attraction teachings I had listened to so far (and believe me it's a huge lot):

"What we really want to manifest, is the desire to be content, to be happy, to be free, to be safe, and to be connected.

And to feel, that that is the truth for everyone, that nobody is excluded from this great Universal Benevolence.

This is what we really want."

This is, what I was missing: the certainty that what I want and manifest is serving all of creation.

Like St. Augustine said: "Love and do what you want." But why is it such a struggle? Because of unconscous limiting beliefs blocking the Source of Love and Happiness in us.

As a certified Inner Reconciliation coach, I help people to discover and dissolve those beliefs, and to free the Source/God energy inside them for unlimited unapologetic happiness.

I have a couple of free spots on my schedule here. Take one and let's look at our options. :)

Don't Kick The Habit Yet

There is this article by Lissa Rankin.

Lissa writes:

"I know you just made resolutions, but don’t try to stop smoking. Don’t give up booze. Don’t throw out your pot. Don’t ditch the donuts.

While you’re at it, don’t join the gym.  Don’t try to meditate every day.  Don’t promise to get over your money issues. Don’t resolve to lose twenty pounds.

Don’t quit the job you hate. Don’t leave your deadbeat boyfriend.  Don’t try to be a better mother/ daughter/ friend. Don’t give up internet porn.

Don’t finish that novel. Don’t sign up for that art class. Don’t declutter your house. Don’t get out of debt."

"What the heck? !!!" you might ask. Read until the end of Lissa's article and you will understand.

And, from my experience with myself, my children and my clients, I can really say she's right.

You might wonder how to accept yourself with those "bad" habits and even love yourself although you "did it again".

A New Look At Jesus

Sorting out my stash before the move, I found a little book called "365 Laimes zibšņi" (365 Flashes of Happiness). It's a compilation of  quotes - one for each day.

This year, I started to use those as prompts for my daily reading, research, pondering, and writing.

And I'm amazed about the many personalities that I didn't know anything or very little about (most of them passed away already) and happy to get to know them and their work more or at least a bit.

Today, I "made an acquaintance" with Eric Butterworth, among other amazing things, the author of "Discover the Power Within You" (first time published in the sixties, when I was a school girl behind the "steel curtain") and "Spiritual Economics".


Right now, I'm reading his article "A New Look At Jesus" and am really amazed how much his view resonates with they way I currently see "the most important individual figure in the history of the world".

"How many times have you heard or read or perhaps seen scrawled in public places, the words from John 3:16: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"? That seems to imply that we should believe on the son, and it is understandable to assume that it means Jesus. Here is what Meister Eckhart, a medieval monk, who was a delightful person and a tremendous philosopher, said of this passage: "God never begot but one son, but the Eternal is forever begetting the only begotten." The "only begotten son," as he puts it, is that which is begotten only of God; this refers to that of man, that of you and me, which is not human, not of the world, that does not come from a certain heredity or environment. It refers to that of us, which also means that of you, that is the pure creation of God. It is our unitive relationship with God. It is that of us which is forever at one [with God], forever God's Child, forever God expressing through us, even beyond the seeming limitations of life. When we believe on this innate unity, this innate Divine Potential, then he shall not die, "but have everlasting life.""

My Share For Today - As It Is

Another Blissful Day

Image source

This isn't an easy day for my body: it's full moon, stormy weather, and my daughter and our dog sleeping in my bed last night made my sleep rather scarce. So I'm slow today (even let my daughter cook part of the dinner, while I was sleeping out my headache).

Woke up to a call from a dear soul sister from Netherlands, who offered me support and help with my exercises in the Awakening Your Unique Self Course. My heart flows over with appreciation! I really love the course and all the wonderful souls I meet there! Long live the internet for making this possible!

After the call I stumbled upon this text by another soul sister:

"We have no real need of systems of belief and religions to connect us to the Divine. We are not damaged or broken or sinful, rather we are perfect children of the Divine who have "fallen" into illusion, and now is the time to move through that illusion and find our original perfection and light."

YES! YES! and YES! :)

And, now, I'm up to revamp my blog so my dear readers can read it more easily.
Please, tell me, if this is better for you!

Love you all! Hope you have a great week end.
