“Love will immediately enter into any mind that truly wants it.”—A Course in Miracles
If you want to fish, you need a pole or a net or maybe a spear. But if you really want to up your angling game, nothing beats a pair of polarized sunglasses.
By eliminating glare from the water, you gain a whole new superpower. Polarized filters change the axis of light transmission, so the vertical reflections from the water’s surface no longer block your vision. You can better peer beneath the surface, get a 10-20 on that 35-pound trout. It’s kind of revolutionary.
Just like spiritual practice that enables us to see things anew: each other, the sky, the trees, the habits and patterns and emotional routines in which we so often get stuck.
Spiritual practice allows us to see beyond our private, self-made worlds. It allows us to recognize love in everyone, in everything.
A Course in Miracles, my main spiritual squeeze, can be summarized in five words: Help me see this differently. Whatever it is, I can be sure my view pales in comparison to the Dude’s vision.
That’s my daily mission. To be open to the infinite and therefore see infinite possibilities.
I’m ready for a new pair of shades. How about you? #222 Forever

Love you, Pam Grout!
Love you, too!
To be open to the infinite and therefore see infinite possibilities. YES. I agree. I love the infinite possibilities. Thank you dear Pam for another awesome reminder of miracles.
Miracles are natural and normal, as you well know.
Spot on, Pam! My shades are on and ready for synchronicity 😎🎈⚡️
Yes, ma’am!
Still reading our lessons daily. Daughter reads from the book, I follow on the app. We are dialed in. It’s certainly working. Giant squishy hugs to you.
Giant squishy hugs right back.

Is that what you look like when you wake up? hee! hee!
Sadly, I don’t look like that even after lunch.
I think you are on a wonderful vacation somewhere hurray and thank you for the most profound 5 word prayer I have heard in a long time….”Help me see this differently.”
Yes, I am on a wonderful working vacation and so glad you agree with the profundity of my long-used mantra.
‘Help me see this differently’ Wow. I’m going to start using that every time I mistakenly think I know something about anything. One of the things I’m working on is letting go of judgement. This will be my new mantra! Thanks Pam!
You’re welcome. It’s the Course at its finest.
Pam, that quote of yours “help me see this differently” couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m going to be posting this all over the house. Thank you so very much!!
I probably repeat it nine times a day.
Your five word summary of ACIM is excellent. It’s a perfect affirmation for basically everything, and it seems many of us commenting here agree. I love your daily mission too, and even though I recently bought new sunglasses, they don’t seem to have the magical qualities of seeing infinite possibilities so I’ll have to quote the “help me see this differently” affirmation every time I put them on, and see what happens 😉😁🥰 Thankyou Pam for another perfect post. 💛💃🌼🦋⭐️
Thank you, my sweet Aussie friend!
Just discovered your books a week ago and it’s a real pleasure. Already read E2, E3 and Thank and grow rich. Sad that The course in miracles is not available in french. 🙁 I really changed my mind by reading your explanations… thank you for sharing your vision of CP.
So happy to hear this! Changing our minds is what it’s all about.
I HEREBY PUT ON THE RAY-BANS OF ECSTASY
Thank you for the awesome reminder!!!
OOh! I like that!
Thank you for that visual Pam
My pleasure!
I use the same 5 words as much as I can…the other one is, I can see peace instead of this.
Love you Pam. You are my inspiration ( along with the Course, of course ).
That’s a good one, too. I could see peace instead of this! Thanks!
Thank you Pam , I can’t being to tell you how much I look forward to your blogs popping into my inbox, you make my heart sing 💗🦋
Love your posts Pam. Every time I see your name in my inbox my heart skips a beat because I know there is something joyful waiting for me.
So happy to hear it, my friend!

Thanks and love to you, Pam. I’m on my second go-round of The Course in Miracles Experiment. Please tell me what RSO means on page 237. Thank you!
Hola! It’s shorthand for rip this sucker out! It simply means that particular lesson didn’t resonate with me so I was taking Bill Thetford’s advice (he’s one of the original creators) who said, “Disregard any lesson that doesn’t ring true.
Muchas gracias, Pam!
Yes whenever I remember to say this my day shifts in huge and incredible ways!
