An inner prompting

From the Prologue of Through A Mirror, Brightly, by Ray Comeau.
The day after arriving at Endeavor Academy, August 7, 1997, I went to my first session where several hundred students were sitting or standing in a semi-circle, listening to a Teacher for two or three hours. I tried to remain inconspicuous in the midst of the throng, but the Teacher found me, got in my face
and said, “You’re not going to get it by examining it.” I felt sick in the pit of my stomach.

The next day during session, I decided to sit down, cross-legged, and hopefully become less conspicuous. He found me again and said, “You’re not going to get it meditating, either.” This time I felt even sicker.
 I went to my room and found myself standing in the middle of it. I had an inclination to write in my journal, but I could hear the Teacher saying, “You’re not going to get it journaling, either.” Then, in rapid succession, I said no to meditating, no to reading a “spiritual” book, and no to taking a nap, no to taking a walk, no to talking with someone, and no to sedating. I just stood there. I did not know at the time that the teaching was: “Just stand still for a moment,” but I just stood there.
And now you stand in terror before what you swore never to look upon.
T-19.IV(D).6:1

 

I experienced what I called, then, my “inner prompting” say:
“Open A Course in Miracles.” I took two steps to the desk, picked up the Course and opened it at random. It opened to the Section, I Need Do Nothing. Through tears of gratitude, I sat down and slowly read the section:
 
To do nothing is to rest, and make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention.
Into this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides.

T-18.VII.7:7
 
For the first time, I realized I was not alone. I was in the direct experience of an alternative to my dream, and the alternative was outside my dream and in me. My True Self finally broke through my elaborate defenses, and I was home. I was safe. My safety was closer than my beating heart.
 
It seems to you the world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes.
Yet all that will occur is you will leave the world forever.
This is the re-establishment of your will.
T-19.IV(D).7:1

 

The shift from my will to Thy Will had occurred, and since they are One, I realized I was no longer “seeing through a mirror, darkly,” no longer getting a reflection of my false self. In that moment of my “inner prompting,” I was “seeing through a mirror, brightly,”
seeing the reflections of my True Self, and they were shining brightly. “Mirror” and
“miracle” share a Latin root, mirari, “to wonder at.” To see my True Self reflected is a wonder, a “mirrorcle,” and wonder leads to gratefulness. The warmth of gratefulness in my chest spread throughout my body. My “journey” was over.
 
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly.

I Corinthians 15:49
