Dear God/ess, This past weekend was the rolling out of "Epic," the computer program that is now our hospital wide computer charting system. It was an experience tantamount to slaying the beast--and the beast, it turns out, is our innermost negative and humorless selves.

We tend to think everything is outside of ourselves, and Epic is no exception. The first few hours of "Epic Go Live" provoked me to start doing "A Course In Miracles" again, which I now conveniently carry around with me on my iPhone Kindle. One of my favorite quotes from the first few lessons is this: "There are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind."

Ho'oponopono and ACIM are spiritual teachings that support the other. For instance, the purpose of the clearing and cleaning of Ho'oponopono is to wipe out memory and get the mind to a Zero State. The 6th lesson of ACIM is: "I see only the past" and what I see, therefore, is not real.

Epic is a great example. What came up for me, especially in the first few hours, was unbridled rage because staffing was low and the help to get through the mire was limited. Night shift is normally hands on help but when Epic went live and I was admitting a patient, people were huddled around a computer, as if wide eyed that "it" awoke from  a slumbering coma. And "it" was going to eat us alive.

What was going to eat us alive? Memories and fear from our past conditioning.

Needless to say, I had to clean and erase for the next three days. Now I love to teach staff just coming on to Epic how to find the tabs where they can chart on their patients. Those of us on the schedule this weekend truly immersed ourselves in Epic, like learning a new language. Surely our brains are stronger for it.

I first starting doing ACIM in 1980. I remember buying the books from a used bookstore in Corvallis, Oregon, where I was going to Nursing School at the time. I knew nothing about it, except that I was drawn to it. The language was  rooted in masculine language and because I did not know the background of the work, I promptly threw it away.

Helen Schuckman channeled "A Course In Miracles ." She and her colleague, Bill Thedford,  were working in an academic environment, and as usually belies the modern workplace, people were gossiping and backstabbing and projecting their insecurities to everyone in their environment.

Bill said to Helen, "There must be a better way." And Helen realized inwardly that there was a better way.

Thus the vision for ACIM was born.

I can't believe I've been doing ACIM off and on for over 30 years. Now adding the practice to Ho'oponopono has automatically deepened both practices.

The inner life is indeed the only life there is.

Om Peace Amen
