Ask Yasuko

Dear Yasuko,

I recently began A Course in Miracles. I have also been reading it in conjunction with Gary Renard's Disappearance of the Universe. Ever since I began reading The Disappearance of the Universe I've noticed that I've begun feeling depressed and alone. I have faith that with a change in thinking these headaches and feelings of depression will resolve themselves; however, that seems a long way off...do you have any suggestions on how to cope in the meantime?

Thanks in advance for your help!

K.

Dear K,

Welcome to A Course! And congratulations for having and experiencing the process of miracles!
Yes, "feeling bad and lonely" is definitely a step toward salvation since you started realizing clearly the feeling you had in your mind in advance.

ACIM gave you an opportunity to be aware of your feelings. And, now, it's time to :
1. CHOOSE if you want to keep them or change them.
2. If you decide to choose to change them, you will notice it's difficult to do so.
3. CHOOSE again; ask Holy Spirit instead of trying to do it by yourself.
4. Ask Holy Spirit, "Please help me to exchange them for an experience of your love."
Then, do not forget to thank Holy Spirit when you receive the experience.

Please share your coming experience with us here!

Love,

Yasuko
