50 First Dates (With Myself)

50 First Dates. Have you seen the movie? With Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler? Drew plays a woman with short term memory loss, so every night when she goes to sleep, her entire memory of the day is erased. Adam’s character, he comes along and falls in love with her, but the next day when he sees her again and she has no recollection of him, he’s very confused. When he gets hip to her situation, however, he decides that he loves her so much that he’ll just re-introduce himself every day, coming up...

Resistance, Acceptance, and Faith

“Some of your greatest advances you have judged as failures, and some of your deepest retreats you have evaluated as success.” – A Course in Miracles We know less than we think. Once we realize this, we begin to develop true wisdom. We think we know how to properly evaluate the events in our lives. I broke up with my boyfriend, that’s bad. I got a new job, that’s good. I have MS, that’s bad. I won the lottery, that’s good. We base these assessments on what gives us pleasure or pain. But it...

Which Voice Will You Listen To?

“When the ego was made, God placed in the mind the Call to joy. This Call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at its sound. That is why you must choose to hear one of two voices within you. One you made yourself, and that one is not of God. But the other is given you by God, Who asks you only to listen to it.” – A Course in Miracles This morning when I woke up, my head hurt and I immediately felt frustrated. Then I played for a while with...

My Lesson in Forgiveness, Healing, & Miracles

“Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely…Nothing that you remember that made your heart sing with joy has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you.” – A Course in Miracles I have been in love with the same man for six years. We have been on and off, engaged and not, speaking every day and speaking not at all, and now, it seems, we are finally over, in the traditional romantic,...

We Are The Sea

We Are The Sea

“I spend much of my time just talking, trying to get people not to be so convinced by their disease. In Ayurveda, this is the first and most important step in healing. As long as the patient is convinced by his symptoms, he is caught up in a reality where “being sick” is the dominant input. The reason why meditation is so important in Ayurveda is that it leads the mind to a ‘free zone’ that is not touched by disease. Until you know that such a place exists, your disease will seem to...

How Are You Benefiting From Your Illness?

For most of us, when we think about our illnesses we think of all the ways in which it sucks to be sick. And it does, of course. But what about the ways that we benefit from our illness? What are the secondary gains we get by being sick? How do we use our multiple sclerosis, or whatever illness we have, to our benefit? This is not a common thing to think about. But it’s a crucial point to consider, and one that could be keeping you sick. Here…I’ll go first…and I’m seriously calling...

I Want It Now!

Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait, and wait without anxiety. – A Course in Miracles I love this quote. Partly because it soothes me and reminds me to have faith in the Universe, that all my needs and true desires will be met and I will be led where I need to go. I also love this quote because the petulant child in me reads it and is instantly provoked to stomp my feet and scream “But I want it NOW!!!” a la Veruca Salt in Charlie and the...

The Infernal Path

I haven’t published anything on this blog since February 1st. More than three months have gone by. I wish I could tell you that I haven’t posted because I’ve been busy traipsing around the world in my flourishing, virile body, with all my buckets of money and a sexy lover by my side. But, alas, such would be a lie. A coveted fantasy, sure, but still a lie. What I’ve actually been doing the past three months is falling deeper and deeper into a black hole of sickness and depression – a vicious chicken-or-the-egg...
