Those Who Remember Always That They Know Nothing...

"Those who remember always that they know nothing, and who have become willing to learn everything, will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not learn. They have destroyed their motivation for learning by thinking they already know. Think not you understand anything until you pass the test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go together and never can be found alone." - A Course in Miracles

A friend asked me a question expecting a definite answer, especially since I seemed to understand what A Course in Miracles is about. So my answer to her was;

"Let me start by saying that A Course in Miracles is not the only path and I don't want you to turn it into a God in itself. The second thing is, I see you asking me questions when in reality, the ultimate goal is for you to cultivate your own communication with your inner guide. That's why I have mentioned to you before to be careful not to attach yourself to teachers because God's answers are within you. But that takes courage because when your inner voice says to make a right turn, all these other voices would suggest you turn left.

And these voices I am talking about are every teacher you put your faith in, even me if you think that I have answers. Yes, you can love the work they do and enjoy them, but be careful not to get caught up in thinking they know something because if they are part of this illusion, just like you and I are, you can rest assure that they, just as me, know nothing.

One thing I love about A Course in Miracles is that it never gave me answers, just simple exercises so that I can continue strengthening my communication with my true Self. As for me, all I choose is God. In the meantime, as I continue to surrender my will to God's, if I feel inspired to write a book I do so. Then I might feel inspired to write a song so I do so. I may feel inspired to call a friend so I do so. I may feel inspired to visit a different place and I trust that the resources will be provide for me. And I may be also guided to do nothing when my intellect suggests I should be doing something, so I do nothing.

That's how I have developed and strengthen my faith. I am simply allowing myself to be guided as to what to do at all times, trusting that God knows best."
