Queen for a Day

February 18, 2012 by Susan Dugan

In second grade I developed a nasty, prolonged case of mono that hung on for most of a year and boomeranged back in the next, forcing me to stay home from school, read a lot of really good books (I read early and often), and watch a lot of really bad television. My favorite program […]

Seek not outside yourself

February 6, 2012 by Susan Dugan

I sat cross-legged on the floor in front of my imaginary TV screen, rummaging in an imaginary drawer filled with imaginary DVDs of my many seeming lifetimes in this apparently endless dream of exile from the one Love we never really left. But try as I might, I couldn’t find the one I was looking […]

Another endearing conversation with the ego

January 30, 2012 by Susan Dugan

I stared at the computer screen, begging for clarity about how to respond to another seemingly confounding email. I’d been struggling to follow the Holy Spirit/Jesus (that memory of our true undifferentiated wholeness in our mind) instead of always trying to lead. But the struggle had merely resulted in a paralytic dance leaving me stalled […]

Your task is not to seek for love

January 9, 2012 by Susan Dugan

In the dream I am on foot, adrift in a sprawling, unfamiliar city. Winding up and down twisted streets slick with rain, crossing highway overpasses, and trying to navigate bridges and tunnels I hope may lead somewhere. At times I am terrified by the traffic zipping by; alarmed by the lack of space for pedestrians, […]

The Only Real Relationship and a magic cookie recipe

December 19, 2011 by Susan Dugan

I was back in that rawest of places in a special relationship; believing in the dream again, berating myself for lack of palpable improvement in form; the way my issues with this person kept boomeranging back on me despite my commitment to this path of forgiving what never was. Once more looking for evidence of […]

The Descendants Strikes at the Severed Heart of Our Special Relationships

November 28, 2011 by Susan Dugan

On the Monday before Thanksgiving I awoke to experience a kind of short fuse in my decision-making mind, my connection with the right-mindedness that had seemed so abundantly available just hours earlier once more seemingly frayed. I couldn’t seem to pry my eyes away from the screen of my dream, my tragic starring role, and […]

Forgiveness ACIM-Style: No Big Deal!

October 24, 2011 by Susan Dugan

I was fortunate enough to sit down recently to interview Ken Wapnick again while attending a workshop at the Foundation for a Course in Miracles (FACIM) in Temecula, California. I felt more than ever the radiance of Ken’s unwavering faith in an innocence that includes everyone and everything, even this mess of a Course student. […]

What have you saved to settle by yourself?

September 26, 2011 by Susan Dugan

I sat at my computer anxiously awaiting my appearance as a guest speaker at ACIM Gather; an online radio broadcast service for A Course in Miracles students and teachers. I had assembled my magic props:  chamomile tea, an assortment of flower essences, a lump of obsidian to help ground me, and a really expensive cream […]

Boot Camp? Not …

September 19, 2011 by Susan Dugan

A couple of weeks ago in the regular A Course in Miracles Thursday night class I teach our conversation wandered into that ever seductive quagmire of senseless musings the ego would like us to get lost in more often. Things like; how can we be sure this is really an illusion? How can I believe […]

You Gotta Wear Shades

September 12, 2011 by Susan Dugan

“I would just–for once in my life–like to have a little direct experience of God, is that too much to ask? A little preview of our Father’s Love, my real, capital S Self, eternal wholeness, boundless, all-inclusive creativity and all that …” I hesitated, considering my present company. “Jazz,” I said. My imaginary Jesus continued […]
