Marianne Williamson Instagram – In ACIM it says you can have a grievance or a miracle, but you cannot have both. Holding a grievance is a way of keeping your personal universe frozen. Continuing to attack someone else in your mind, you are attacking yourself. Why? Because there is only one of us here. So when you think of people towards whom you hold grievances, your emotional salvation lies in letting it go. There is something profound about accepting things – and people – exactly as they are. It isn’t condoning anything, it’s simply allowing a power higher than yourself heal the situation. Once we get to this place, then even if we need to hold a person or system accountable we do it in a different way. We’re coming from a different place within ourselves. Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we are judging people for the way they acted, we are wrong even if we are right. Only when we give up the judgment, can we be a conduit for a miraculous shift in the situation. The universe is intentional, always bending in the direction of the next best thing, the miracle, the healing, the repairing of the wound. But by holding grievances, we stop the action and stay stuck in the place where our victimization supersedes the possibility of a new beginning. Whoever it is towards whom you hold any level of grievance right now, consider that it’s fine the way they are. At the deepest level, your pain doesn’t come from them being the way they are but from you wanting them to be different. By judging them, you are judging yourself. By releasing them, you are releasing yourself. Let it be. The universe will handle this much better than you can.
