The following
letter is a response to my
transmission about taking time off to write: I feel so blessed to have been able to work with you because you have a direct connection to Superconscious. I am acutely aware of how valuable a tool your guided readings have been for my personal growth. These readings from Guidance are leaps and bounds ahead of psychology – I know – I was going to be a psychologist. I have sat in psychologist’s offices; I have studied psychology; I have studied with Jean Houston. Never did I approach the Truth (this is what I was really seeking) in those offices. What if I had never found a teacher so strong and direct when it comes to my ego? How many classes and readings did I sit through where my ego was angry, embarrassed, or self-righteous!? How many classes and readings did I endure, with tears streaming down my face, because I had a glimpse of my ego and saw how stubborn and fearful it was? I could never have known my ego so intimately had I not had a teacher who was strong enough and willing enough to fight with me and to accept with me, this human that I am. The road would have been less clear without you the tough task master, without you bringing such clear guidance, without you radiating Love from the source of Grace. Our readings and your classes have been profound! The frustration you must feel when you continually have to repeat the same lessons to us surely wears you down. Our egos are so intact. It is truly a life long study for each of us to learn to stand unattached from ourselves enough so that we can witness our ego - then know what to do with it. Today I understand that I have had the tools I’ve needed to be able to work with my transformation - I’ve had these tools since the first Real Magic class! What I didn’t have was the determination it takes to stick with the Great Work of ego transformation. This has come with time and with varying levels of success. We all have all the information needed to continue our work. So, any of us, wherever we are at any point along this journey, can continue the process of transmutation without your readings. We all, if we’ve been listening, know what to do when our ego trips us up. You’ve taught us to be silent. Through this silence we can see our ego, we can see our Truth, and we can make our choice. When we do the practices you’ve given us we get closer to our connection to Superconscious. If we continue this work openly and honestly, our connection to the Source gets stronger and clearer. I know it is up to us to trust our own connection to Guidance. We can only do this through much practice! Once again you give us gifts and the gift you give us now, is to stop making that connection for us. You are like the mother robin nudging her fledglings off the edge of their nest and forcing them out on their own. This must happen, this is scary for us, and yet this will offer us the greatest freedom. You continue to be the tough teacher that each of us needs. You have been the teacher who brings us to Grace when we sit with you in meditation and laugh with you during readings. I have touched and felt Love from God through you and this is the greatest, most sustaining gift I could ever ask for.
If we are to be successful in our
transmutation we will allow ourselves to be pushed, for then we
learn to fly! Keep writing and let us flounder a bit – we are being
taught by a fantastically tough and thorough teacher.” |

LETTER FROM SALLY IN SEATTLE: Date: Nov 10, 2007 I am so truly grateful for the work, time, humility, and graciousness you have held and put into creating the Course. I am grateful for all the times you faced hardship and despair with your commitment to freedom. I have been so fortunate to have received the blessings of your work and from being close to you. I am truly blessed and often humbled beyond words that somehow in this lifetime I got to be here for this. I am so conscious right now of a remarkable revolution going on and one unlike and yet connected to what we've seen before. I see this tremendous grassroots awakening and movement towards freedom and love and wisdom. I think what is so radical is that this movement is not based on iconic leaders but on our everyday lives and commttment to these qualities. So many small groups and individuals are working in this way. I am so in love with this life and with the grace of the beauty of this experience here. It is amazing how this trash, this lump of coal truly is gold and the holy grail we have been looking for: transmutation. This week I have heard the following things from multiple people: creative tension -- what is is and how to be comfortable with it that our intention is the most powerful thing in this world that the human spirit and our connectivity is the basis of sustainability -- the recognition that there are no dangerous others is the key to our transformation. that our words shape our existence. All of this I knew from you. I love you Sylvia -- you are in my thoughts and heart all the time.
