As I studied ACIM, Jesus was having me concentrate on “pray, listen, and follow.” He'd tell me, “In place of your analytics, I'll guide you and inform you exactly what to express, how to proceed, and where to go. I'll handle all time and space in the event that you can give the mind to me. I'll handle all the arrangements.”
This is mind-boggling to the ego! What do you mean, “handle all the arrangements”? Think about airline tickets, transportation, food, and shelter? The concentrate on “pray, listen and follow,” the directions that Jesus gave me, became 100% trustworthy, 100% safe, and 100% time-saving.
A Parable with David
One of my ACIM students in the 1990s came up in my experience to truly have a cup of tea at my dining table at the Peace House. She sat down and said, “I have X sum of money, and it's in the stock market right now. I'm praying and wondering what I should do with this money.”
We were having our cup of tea and I said, “You're supposed to completely get free from the stock market right now.” a course in miracles online I'm not really a stockbroker, I don't really follow the stock market, but it really came through me, effortlessly, as a demand love.
And so she did. She went back and completely sold all her stocks. Right after that, the stock market took a giant dive, a giant crash. Then she went back and said in my experience, “Have you any idea the amount of money you saved me with what you told me?” And I said, “That wasn't me! I don't claim any responsibility for that advice and guidance. What did I say?”
I'm just into praying, listen, and following. I'm not thinking about giving people guidance and advice. Frances and I can inform you that through the years practicing ACIM and living together as a small grouping of people, there are always a large amount of logistics which come up for consideration. The thing that has carried many of us through is “pray, listen, and follow.” We've learned to be 0% analytical and 100% trust.
