Be gentle with yourself

February 18, 2019 by Susan Dugan

Hi everyone:

Well, I woke up this morning tired and hungry (or “hangry,” as my daughter says) and googled this phrase: “Ken Wapnick scarcity.” To my surprise, the first thing that came up was an interview I had originally done with Ken in 2012 entitled “Be Gentle with Yourself.” https://www.google.com/search?q=Ken+wapnick+scarcity&oq=Ken+wapnick+scarcity&aqs=chrome..69i57.5039j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Gentleness, especially with the puny self I still think I am, has never been my forte, so I decided to give Ken’s interview another read. Among other topics, we also talked about Ken’s wonderful CD set Cast No One Out: Making It About Them. https://facimstore.org/products/cast-no-one-out-making-it-about-them. I had just dug that workshop out last week and had been listening again with wonder and gratitude for how relevant it seemed to my current experience.

Anyway, in the interview I talked to Ken about how applying the premise “making it about them” revealed how much I secretly want to make everything about me (that scarcity again, that relentless neediness we experience from believing we fled real Love forever and can never find our way back). Ken’s gentle response feels even more deeply relevant to my journey and practice today. Hope you’ll find it helpful, too!

You’ll find my latest YouTube talk with Bruce Rawles on the Course’s view of special relationships here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBUrKBHRjsw&feature=youtu.be and on my website here: https://www.foraysinforgiveness.com/videos/

And my latest radio talk with CA Brooks, 12Radio, on acim workbook review section V. here: https://www.12radio.com/archive.cfm?archive=F3269CD1-26B9-4187-8634207E9F1834B4 and on my website here: https://www.foraysinforgiveness.com/audios/.

As always, I am available for individual A Course in Miracles mentoring: https://www.foraysinforgiveness.com/personal-coaching/

Finally, as you may know, long-time facim staff member Jeff Seibert has resumed teaching monthly seminars at the Foundation for A Course in Miracles’ new location in Henderson, Nevada. You can sign up for these classes with this wonderful teacher by going to the Foundation website https://facim.org/, clicking on “Announcements” at the top, and then “Programs” and “Seminar” from the drop-down menu. I cannot recommend these mind-healing classes more highly!

Love always, and when the going gets rough, as it inevitably does in this dream, remember–we all made it Home!

Susan
