"In my defenseless my safety lies." The ego is sooo subtle. Defenses can be almost overlooked. Even today, as I was responding to a comment, I felt the need to clarify what one commenter misunderstood about my post, which was not even significant in any way. As though I need to protect my self image. Self image doesn't even exist, so what's there to protect!
I've been suicidal my whole life. Such a hard, hard, painful, difficult, abusive, traumatic life, so far... At the beginning of 2023, to top everything off... The man whom I revered as my best friend, abandoned and betrayed me. He replaced me. NOW, I AM UNDERSTANDING/REMEMBERING: It's all a game. We are here to explore, to have adventures, to unlearn and to learn and to relearn... I keep getting the message: "it's not that serious"! The universe, the multiverse, she now sings inside me... Like I'm a sacred cathedral!✨💛
Wonderful perspective, especially looking at it from my work as a psychotherapist. Can you please make the pdf document of defense mechanisms available? Thank you for all you share🙏
Thank you Emily for this pure, profound and recognizable teaching including the HS issue that was also part of my life during my early twenties. Long time there was a hate-love relationship between me and the HS, but it was by the Course that the whole relationship completely changed and became renewed. Now I can’t live without. It’s a rare story so thank you so much for sharing 🙏 Hans
Hi, just to let you know, for some reason the UK Amazon site lists a hardback COA ACIM as costing 406 GBP (or something similar).so because of this, I had to order the soft cover. Maybe you can look into this.
