Savoring This Heart That's Healing - A Course in Miracles Lessons 28 & 29

I will give virtual brownie points to anyone that can tell me (without googling... no cheating here) what song inspired this blog post title. Don't know? I'll show you guys the video at the end of the blog (and no scrolling down either to cheat).

Now i know i was having a little bit of difficulty with lesson 27 and the "above all else i want to see" because i kept thinking "What? Why do i want to see above all else?" But lesson 28 seemed a lot simpler and easier to understand for me. Maybe because my ~ing was on big time from just coming back from the HerFuture DC area PowerPosse meetup.

It was seriously awesome. It officially started around 2pm i think on Saturday. I didn't get to Teasim (their chai is the best... a lot of us had it) till 2:30 and even then we were still there for a good two hours chit chatting about HerFuture, Gabby, A Course In Miracles, and a lot of other random stuff. (Including brainstorming a DC ACIM in person study group... yay). Also what was really funny was i think half of us brought our copies of ACIM with us. Which actually inspired our next little venture after Teaism.

Kelly had a smaller version of ACIM then most of us that she said she got at Barnes and Noble in their bargain books section. Well hell, im not a fan of lugging around the big blue book all the time so i suggested we walk the few blocks to B&N after. (Plus some of the girls wanted to get the copy of Experience Life with Gabby on the cover). Sure enough this particular B&N (this was not the one Kelly got hers from) had a nice little stack of the smaller ACIM's (since they're not the FFIP versions they dont have the supplemental info which is not nesc needed) and i think 3 or 4 of us got em. (Plus the B&N version was only around $13... freekin awesome!)

After our little B&N trip most of us parted ways (loved all the hugs... lots of hugs were given). Me and Claudia (If you're on HerFuture totally look her up) decided to go to the local Bed Bath and Beyond to find the infamous DC Metro Map shower curtain! (They still have them by the way. When i move out of DC i so have to get one for my new place). We then bonded over our mutual love for coffee before we decided to part ways.

Oh wait a minute? I'm supposed to be talking about my lessons aren't I? Whoops...

Lesson 28 was kind of a continuation/add-on of lesson 27. And if you read the little purple blurb it pretty much sums up my thoughts about this lesson in a nutshell. "Once i got over the above all else this and yesterdays lessons started to sit with me better."

Some people (i kind of include myself in this category) may have some issues with some of the religious wordage used in ACIM. If "God" doesn't sit will with you, substitute "the universe" for it. (Another reason why i was drawn to Gabby's books, was her alternative ways at looking at ACIM and making it more user friendly). Or as we said at the meetup a lot this past saturday "fake it till you make it." The whole point is to realize (or attempt to realize) that since we are all connected whatever higher power you ascribe to is also IN everything. (And don't ask why the lesson reminded me of the movie "The Craft," it just did).

Just a little reminder... no ACIM lessons tomorrow on my blog. Tuesday will be another double lesson post because Monday's are Meatless Mondays here over at Caffeinated Cupcake and i will try to tempt you with yummy meatless goodness.

And for those of you still wondering about the song... here you go. (The song also applies heavily to Lesson 29 i believe... which is why i used part of it as the blog post title).
