Dearest Kristy.
I will not, as others have not, got into the ACIM because it simply does not resonate with me, as many things do not.
I know you have spoken of your history with religion, and how you feel you have broken free of that, but it appears to me you have not. What I see here, and you may correct me if I am wrong, is that you say you have faith, but you place this faith in the hands of another... you have simply transferred your faith from one institute to another. Can you not trust in yourself to be your own guide? I like DW too, but there are parts of his understandings/teachings that do not resonate with me, so I simply choose to ignore them.
I trust in myself to choose, for no one can guide me but me. Trust in yourself sister. Make your own decisions. Ignore the rest. Feel what is right in your heart, for your heart will never steer you wrong. You ARE as powerful as God, for you are part of God. You just need to believe it.
