Tucked in my journal is an entry about a powerful sleeping dream. My mom shared this dream which she had about me back in 2011, and I never intended to share her dream publicly. However, when I re-read it recently, I experienced a physical healing that was further evidence to me the body is truly meaningless. Spirit said, “share this.” I said, “ok.”
This dream involved what we believe to be the Akashic Record. According to Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment, the Akashic Records “contain every deed, word, feeling, thought, and intent that has ever occurred at any time in the history of the world.” In ACIM terms, I see the Akashic Records simply as every mistaken thought the Son of God “remembered not to laugh” at. This “record” simply consists of each block to Love that we still hold in our mind. (For those of you ACIM-history buffs, you may recall that Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford shared an early transcription of ACIM with Hugh Lynn Cayce, Edgar Cayce’s son. The Urtext also has material pertaining to Edgar Cayce).
A Course in Miracles makes a number of references to “the Record.” Although it is not entirely clear what “the Record” is, it speculated that it could be referring to the Akashic Record. Here are a few quotes:
“It must be understood, however, that whenever a man offers a miracle to another, he is shortening the suffering of both. This introduces a correction into the whole record which corrects retroactively as well as progressively.” (Original Edition, Chapter 2, Part III, “Healing as Release from Fear”)
“A miracle is never lost. It touches many people you may not even know, and sometimes produces undreamed of changes in forces of which you are not even aware. This is not your concern. It will also always bless YOU. This is not your concern, either. But it IS the concern of the Record. The Record is completely unconcerned with reliability, being perfectly valid because of the way it was set up. It ALWAYS measures what it was supposed to measure.” (URtext T 1 B 40a)
“The content of the miracle‐level is not recorded in the individual’s unconscious, because if it were, it would not be automatic and involuntary, which we have said repeatedly it should be. However, the content IS a matter for the record, which is NOT within the individual himself.” (URtext T 2 E 24)
“Sacrifice is a notion totally unknown to God. It arises solely from fear of the Records. This is particularly unfortunate, because frightened people are apt to be vicious. Sacrificing others in any way is a clear‐cut violation of God’s own injunction that man should be merciful even as His Father in Heaven is merciful.” (URtext T 3 C 15)
In my mom’s dream, she and I were in a the back of a church in an office, and a priest gave me a book. The pages were like vellum, and the page I was on was completely clear except for three gold leaf-like rectangles. I was given a pen with an eraser, and just swiping it over the page cleared a third of the gold leaf rectangles. I swiped it again and the gold leaf disappeared entirely from the page. There were other pages in the book for me, this was just one page. My mom asked the priest a question and she got the impression that I was released from what I had to teach, because I learned it. She asked the priest, “but I thought she signed up as a student?” She got the immediate understanding that I was under contract to teach certain things but no longer had those lessons to learn/teach because I learned it. I was able to clear that part of the contract. I was released from those obligations because I had fulfilled them. We then sat down on the end of the second row of a pew in front of the church. We sat there knowing we’d be moved to another place, another level.
I remember when my mom had this dream, I was going through some INTENSE learning situations (probably relating to anxiety). The funny thing is that since this dream occurred, I no longer have ANY memory of what I was going through at the time. The memory is completely gone. Perhaps I could dredge up the past by going through more old journal entries, but why would I want to? I let healing be.
Fast forward to April 2015, just a couple of weeks ago. I had a trace of a head cold for a few days, but woke up one morning and the cold was full blown… headache, massive congestion, and fatigue. Something prompted me to open up my journal that night, and I opened up to the description above of my mom’s dream. As I read this for the first time in years, I felt truth move through my mind. It was as if every cell in me felt electrified. There was a recognition of “I am not a body” and a sense of feeling limitless. When I woke up the next morning, the cold was gone, only a trace of symptoms remained for a short while.
The healing of the body is NOT the point, instead I was shown how the body is MEANINGLESS because it is simply an effect of the mind. “Holy Spirit, teach me the right perception of the body” is a most powerful prayer.
When the ego tempts you to sickness do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the ego’s belief that the body is the proper aim of healing. Ask, rather, that the Holy Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for perception alone can be distorted. Only perception can be sick, because only perception can be wrong.
The healing that this dream brought about is not just for me. It is for you too.
I’d love to hear what came up for you while reading this post. Please share by leaving a comment below!
Powerful experience that I am grateful you shared! You carry divinity and grace Corinne and are a presence for people. I’m blessed to have you in my life. Xo
I feel the same way about you Leah! xo
Corrine,no one has responded in quite a while. I’m a Messianic Jew. However I honor both Edgar Cayce & ACIM. Ironic that april 2015 has special meaning to us. two young ladies from my synagogue, both with gifts of the Spirit, phoned me crying because they saw me dying in a tragic accident. They don’t know each other. on april 3,2015 (leaving my Rabbi’s house after a Passover Sedar; also Good Friday) (also about 2 years after a heart transplant),on a very foggy evening I was hit by an 18 wheeler on my driver’s door. Nine days later I awoke in hospital to the surprise of many. My neck and spine extensively damaged. I ambulate with a cane,although now 5’7″ not my previous 5’11”. No lawsuits or blame because of the fog…. This is not my first miracle story. People joke that I’m never going to die. I call this experience a miracle because all I remember during the crash is that “time” was slowed down, or “folded” or “bent,” (we have no language for stepping out of time)… to allow for an energy to shift the position of my body i.e.saving my life. There is more to the “Miracle.” …Perhaps another time.
Hi Graywolf – WOW. Your story is amazing and it is very interesting that April 2015 has special meaning to both of us. I love how you acknowledge that we don’t have any language for stepping out of time… your description of how time “folded” or “bent” resonates with me in my heart, even though my brain certainly can’t truly comprehend it. Thank you so much for sharing — I am truly touched by your story!
Thank you so much for this article. Today I am working on Lesson 98 – “I accept my part in Gods plan for salvation” and I asked Holy Spirit to help me be open so I can understand my function. One area that I have been struggling with is my health and today I read this email which absolutely helped me understand the necessity of asking the right question. This is a huge break through for me. So wonderful.
I’m so glad it was helpful, Myrtle! That lesson is a really powerful one.
Hi, Corrine!
It’s so miraculous you sent me this today, as I experienced my first ever allergic reaction to an allergy shot yesterday afternoon. I’ve suffered with severe seasonal allergies since I was a young teenager (I’m 50 now). About a year ago I started working with an allergist and have been receiving an injection in each arm weekly, then bi-weekly, then every 3 weeks, and finally monthly. I’ve also been suffering with a chronic cough for roughly 7 months with no apparent cause any doctor can find, except perhaps food sensitivities. Before yesterday’s injections, my last shots were on March 13th. On March 15th, I decided to experiment with a strict, low volume, raw vegan diet. 1 month later my cough was completely gone! I also lost 19 pounds and have never felt better. I even made it through the early spring budding with zero allergy symptoms. But when I received those objections yesterday, it was like a truck hit me! My sinuses became very congested, my nose started running, my throat started itching, my eyes got itchy and red, my stomach started hurting, I got weak and a mental fog came over me. My allergist placed me in observation for an hour and then suggested I stop treatment with her- that my diet seems to be the better approach now! 🙂 Thank you so much for reaching out to me, Corrine! I really enjoyed reading this. So amazing about the Kashik record and Course parallels.
Blessings & Light!
Rhett
Wow Rhett! I’m glad you’re OK! It sounds like the situation was intense, and it is certainly something to be willing to look at WITH Spirit. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Corinne!
Thank you so much for sharing this story! I love how easy healing with Holy Spirit really is. We see it as something so hard–how could we ever change our stories? But it’s as easy as swiping the eraser across paper.
Also it was SO wonderful to meet you in person at the conference! You are such a wonderful light and such an inspiration to me!
Sending love,
Carly
I loved meeting you at the conference too! It was so much fun. Yes, our stories can be undone in an instant. What a relief! 🙂
Thank you. Beautiful.
Thanks, Maureen!
Perfect timing as I read this just before going into meditation. What was relevant to me right now was the quote on offering miracles to another which will shorten suffering for both. This brought up someone who I have been having a hard time forgiving. I feel more compassion now especially knowing that what compelled him was fear. We forget these things some times. Thank you for sharing your mother’s dream as well.
Thank you Gigi! It is such a relief that offering miracles shortens the suffering of both.
I loved that story and “ask the Spirit the right perception of the body” rather than healing is so powerful. Misperceptions of the body cause illness (the mind created a false belief?) and so we must look for that “thought” to be righted before the body will respond. If the body is merely healed, we have not learned the lesson….Am I understanding this correctly? Trying hard to get rid of false beliefs surrounding my body. Fell like crapola most of the time. Going to see an endocrinologist tomorrow. Nobody seems to be able to help me….so, I need to have a see with new eyes, new perceptions of my body. Will have to read this several times. Good stuff Corinne, thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I know o was led to this this morning. I have just gotten over a severe flu which both my babies and had and now so does my husband. I rarely get sick but couldn’t shake this one it seemed. I am grateful for this post of yours and so happy you decided to share this dream. Thank you for being a light. I had fallen into a little fog of depression from the illness, but can see the clouds are shifting and the light is coming through again. Feels nice! Never give up hope. Spirit is always there. Please enter where you already abide.
This is so beautiful Rene! Those physical things really do snag our attention away from Truth, for that’s what they’re meant to do. I’m so glad to hear about the beautiful shift you’re experiencing. It is inspiring to me – thank you for sharing it!
Hi Corinne,
I love your title that you never intended to share this as I rarely share anything of my spiritual journey with anyone outside my husband, but since I cannot stop crying beautiful tears of release and gratitude I felt that I must respond. In fact, as I type this, I am questioning who is the me that is responding.
I only recently (in the last week or so) discovered your website and youtube videos. I found them because of recommendations from Gary and Cindy Renard. I am so grateful to have “happened” upon them. My journey with the Course has had many learning lessons related to the body…my body being sick (from food, illness, motion, etc) and crazy, irrational fears regarding the loss of other bodies that I love.
What has hit me so deeply in reading your story is the connection of oneness we all share. I’ve believed in the oneness for a long time, but recently I have begun experiencing it on a deeper level and your story is a piece of that experience. Recently my mind has been starting to remember that I am whole. Throughout this dream lifetime I have believed that I am lacking something and it has felt empty and lonely. I have spent much time repeating to myself the truth of my wholeness and asking the Spirit to show me my wholeness. As you might imagine, the Spirit is always there ready to answer and I have been blown away over and over with His amazing love. I have never been unwhole or empty or lacking, I have just wrongly believed that I was.
When I read your story, I saw the oneness of the mind and it was so beautiful! I saw again how each seeming fragment (in this case people) contains the whole. We are all fully whole, we are simply not fully aware of that yet. Each beautiful step takes us closer to the remembrance of what we truly are…Perfect Spirit created by God!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey. With much love and gratitude, Jolene
Jolene, What gorgeous words my sister! I am blown away by them and felt that experience of Oneness as I was reading your beautiful comment. I’m truly grateful that we have connected. What a JOY to full realize that we are never alone, and never have been. I’m joining with you in the Love that we are. Thank you for your willingness to awaken in this lifetime… it helps us ALL, myself included. Big hugs, Corinne xo
