About Me


“I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens.” ~ WOODY ALLEN

Healing That Begins in the Mind I call "mine”
I am "officially" a home-maker and writer. I normally enjoy washing the dishes to wash the dishes and playing w/ my children and my friends. For those of you who may be getting to know me right now I will share all the juicy details if you promise to keep them a secret... (Hmmm..lol ) ...SO my name is Renee' Groot. I was born and raised in New Mexico. I have not always liked living in New Mexico...once I started to sense that there were more options available "out there" I began trying to figure out what I was missing out on! I have lived in a couple of other places...Charlotte/Matthews, North Carolina and Wichita, Kansas and even though i liked trying these new places out I am really enjoying the decision to come back to New Mexico to raise the children and re-connect with family and friends.

I am also very thankful for having what may be best described as "a feeling that something is missing" because it has led me to new discoveries about myself that have been transformational to say the least. I began looking into spirituality a couple of years after graduating from high school and realizing that I did not really have a sense of belonging to anything...this can be great for some people, but in my case it was scary and I wanted a place to fit in and a way to communicate that I felt was potentially on a deeper level than "usual"

...I began with Buddhism Plain and Simple. A book by Steve Hagen which is a relatively short yet very insightful introduction to Buddha and his timeless teachings (www.dharmafield.org) I was still having trouble sharing this new information with those in my life however (The good news is, it was not the book or any particular persons' fault :P ) I just had not found the teachings that I most resonated with...yet! I went on and on and tried many different spiritual practices before beginning my practice with A Course in Miracles.

Because of this “testing the waters phase” I am familiar with many different ways of healing and am continuing to learn more. I believe that we all desire help with our practice from time to time, or just someone to talk to? You'll notice my interest in "The Course" is reflected throughout this profile... I have a couple of outlets for sharing IT along w/ the other ideas that light up my mind. Naturally this site in no way replaces the study and pracitcal application of A Course in Miracles but I hope it may serve as an introduction to some of the ideas present in the book and in the course community. Regardless of what our practices are or are not I believe Friendship is Key. Without one another we can easily get lost in spirituality and life in general and come out on the "other side" w/ more questions than we started with!? I am here to be a friend and fellow traveler. If you would like to discuss the Course, or anything really, please do not hesitate to contact me . . . or hesistate but still contact me :P
“A tranquil mind is not a little gift” –ACIM
First you will dream of peace, then you will awaken to it.

Abide in peace, where God would have you be. And be the means whereby your brother finds the peace in which your wishes are fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing blessing to the world of sin and death. For what can save each one of us can save us all. There is no difference amoung the Sons of God. The unity that speacialness denies will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And everything belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a brother and his own. To get from one is to deprive them all. And yet to bless but one gives blessing to them all as one. . www.acim.org . The acceptance of guilt into the mind of God's Son was the beginning of the separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end. A COURSE IN MIRACLES

*IT IS IMPORTANT to state that A Course in Miracles presents an entirely new and different theology that cannot be blended in with any other. This does not mean that the Course is necessarily better (or worse) than any other spirituality, but it does reflect the fact that it is unique and different, and radically so. (The Message of a Course in Miracles Vol. 2) *** WWW.FACIM.ORG *** . Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal spiritual themes. It emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum. There are many others, this one differing from them only in form. They all lead to God in the end.

"Be Kind, for Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle" . Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he percieve. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result and not a cause. (ACIM T21.1.1-8)

Our basic problem is understood by A Course in Miracles as unconscious guilt, the hidden belief in sin, and nothing brings this to the surface more quickly than another person. It is in our relationships, as we all know, that our buttons get pushed the most strongly, and our sleeping guilt, now aroused, is inevitably projected onto others. Thus we are provided with the opportunity of forgiving it. If we see our guilt in another person, we can then deal with what has been unconscious in ourselves. (A.V.I.p.111)

If you allow yourself to become preocupied with the temporal, you are living in time. As always, your choice is determined by what you value. Time and eternity cannot both be real, because they contradict each other. If you will accept only what is timeless as real, you will begin to understand eternity and make it yours. (W-p.184.14:1)
Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. (Lesson 134 in ACIM)

Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son, and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear, unless a gentler dream preceeded his awaking, and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the voice That calls with love to waken him; a gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was his friend. God willed he waken gently and with joy, and gave him means to waken without fear (T-27.VII.13:3-5)
Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the End we seek, and He the Means by which we go to Him. (W.302.2:1)

"I hope the exit is joyful; and I hope never to return." ~F.KHALO

You don't have to create your worth with God. That was done in God's Mind when He created you. (216DOU)True forgiveness is the real purpose of life, but you've got to choose it in order to make it yours. Miracles are all the same. The benefits for your mind when you forgive are unimaginable to you . DON'T let anyone tell you forgiveness isn't practical on the level of form. It can make all the difference in the world.

The God of resurrection demands nothing, for He does not will to take away. He does not require obedience, for obedience implies submission. He would only have you learn your will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission, but in the gladness of freedom. (T.p.208)
The escape from darkness involves two stages: First, the recognition that darkness cannot hide. This step usually entails fear. Second, the recognition that there is nothing you want to hide even if you could. This step brings escape from fear. When you have become willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into communion but will also understand peace and joy. (Text P.11)

There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not "harder" or "bigger" than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal. ACIM: First Miracle Principle

The miracle does not awaken you, but merely shows you who the dreamer is. It teaches you there is a choice of dreams while you are still asleep.The miracle establishes you dream a dream, and that its content is not true. This is a crucial step in dealing with illusions. No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them up. The fear was held in place because he did not see that he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the dream (text, pp. 551-52; T-28.II.4:2-3; 7:1-4).

"This course is perfectly clear. If you do not see it clearly, it is because you are interpreting against it, and therefore do not believe it.... I am leading you to a new kind of experience that you will become less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for to percieve with Him involves no strain at all. His perceptions are your natural awareness, and it is only the distortions you introduce that tire you. Let the Christ in you interpret for you, and do not try to limit what you see by narrow little beliefs that are unworthy of God's Son (T-11.VI.3:1-2,6-9)."

Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. -acim

Forgiveness…is still, and quietly does nothing.…It merely looks, and waits, and judges not (W-pII.1.4:1,3). Fear binds the world. Forgiveness sets it free. (227DOU)

Music:


time to face the music

After you sing the original words for this song, you and your child might like to sing a royal version, sung to the same melody by King Friday the XIII aka Mister Rogers who loves to use grandiose words.

Propel, propel, propel your craft Gently down liquid solution Ecstatically, ecstatically Ecstatically, ecstatically, Existence is but an illusion.

Movies:



Your starting point is truth, and you must return to your Beginning. Much has been seen since then, but nothing has really happened. Your Self is still in peace, even though your mind is in conflict. You have not yet gone back far enough, and that is why you become so fearful. As you approach the Beginning, you feel the fear of the destruction of your thought system upon you as if it were the fear of death. There is no death, but there IS a belief in death. (Text P.51) The Kindom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the ego will not prevail against it. Amen

Television:



QUESTION what YOU see on and "off" the screen . Enlightenment is but a recognition not a change at all -ACIM

Plato's Allegory http://www.plotinus.com/archives.htm)
Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occured. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin. And in that view are all your sins forgiven . You have to learn how to turn the tables on the ego. The only way to forgive what is within is to forgive what seems to be without. The secret of salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. No matter what form of the attack, this is still true. God does not forgive because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself. Yet although God does not forgive, His Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. www.facim.org

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they will always fall. Think of it...always." Ghandi (this quote comes from a book I started reading today (2.24.08) called Life's Missing Instruction Manual: The Guidebook You Should Have Been Given at Birth by Joe Vitale Aude aliquid dignaum.

Heroes:



Yet it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long long way off. It is because of this that the plan of the teachers was established. Their function is to save time. We are not asked to deny what our eyes see. We are not asked to deny that, on the level of form, in the world of symbols and names, we all have different names and we are all different. But the mind that has let itself be healed will no longer acknowledge them.Actually, the phrase "let itself be healed" is important. The mind has not been healed, because we are already healed. We have simply allowed the healing of the Holy Spirit to be itself. And this is the double vision that I was talking about -- I see the world and all the differences here, but my mind automatically corrects what I see. I recognize that all the differences are just different ways of expressing the unity of the ego-separated mind, which in itself is a defense against the unity of the Christ Mind. And we share them both. Within the dream we share the ego mind and in reality we share Christ. www.facim.org
