Sequethia is Happy Part Four

As a result of our experience together, Sequethia was happy again. When she lost her thumb drive, she she saw her whole life disintegrate.  Because it contained her Doctoral Dissertation (which was a condition for her continued employment) she feared losing her job, her car, her house and more.  She felt the terror of losing everything she had worked so hard to achieve. This moment felt as if the floor had fallen from beneath her and she felt as if she had fallen into a deep dark mine shaft.  It felt as if someone had kicked her in her stomach, and the only reaction she knew was panic.  Luckily this experience didn’t last for long, and balance had been restored.  

From this “happy place” Sequethia was able to see that the scenario that she had created was just a series of thoughts.  Although her terror in that moment was real, it was caused by thoughts that were not real.  They were mirages.   

Despite any momentary mirage that causes you terror, you can also go to a happier place by realizing that most of the terror exists only in our minds.  A Course In Miracles, Lesson 4 helps us to realize this, and to begin to reject the “habit” we have of letting a dark thought that is only a mirage carry us to a dark place.  To create this new way of dispelling the disquieting thoughts that create panic, hopelessness, anxiety and pain, you can work with the following idea by repeating it and applying it to everything you see around you and everything you sense within you.   

THESE THOUGHTS DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING.  THEY ARE JUST LIKE THE THINGS I SEE IN THIS ROOM, ON THIS STREET OR SENSE IN MY MIND.   

Apply this thought form to everything you see around you and everything you see within you, and you will be able to take one more step into that place of inner peace, despite what is happening around you.
