Helpers along your journey

I think I mentioned that I dropped A Course in Miracles and am just going to make my own path.  The leader hasn't acknowledged that yet, and after two weeks I'm betting he's not going to.  This sort of surprised and disappointed me.  Yet several of the members of the class are reaching out to "help me" find my way.  I'm finding I resent this!  This emotional response surprised me, too!


I don't feel lost.  I already have a stack of unread books.  No, I don't want to talk about it...  I'm trying to be gracious, but I feel like telling them:  Leave me alone!!


Any one relate to this?

*~*Not all who wander are lost*~* Wise words from a man I think was totally awesome! (J.R.R. Tolkien)

Yes, I do understand. I'm in a place in my life where I'm actually *comfortable* saying that I don't have all the answers! Heck many times I don't even "have a clue" it seems. But I'm growing in ways untold. I'm seeking constantly, and finding strength I never knew I had . . . *aaaahhhhh* and every now and then the most profound thoughts/feelings hit. My sisters are "worried" and want desperately to *save* me as appearently I have strayed too far from "The Path" . . . . . . *sigh* ~ how can I tell them that in the midst of this "not knowing" I feel more sure than when I "had *the* answers"!!!! How can I explain that taking "the road less traveled" seems right for me??? Ah well, it is my journey . . . .

Many Blessings to you & a {{{hug}}}, "M"

Yea, when someone tries to "fix" you, it doesn't feel very good at all.... ends up making people feel like "geesh, I thought I was all right...."
Ironically, ACIM is quite clear on the fact that everyone has their own, unique path, and that the most helpful, loving way you can treat another is to acknowledge the wholeness in them, and see them as the perfect being they already are!
