A mouse, a dream, and ACIM strangeness…

A synchronicity brought me to my knees today. I was standing drinking coffee in the kitchen with ACIM, about to be late for work but I didn’t care. I was gonna eat my damn frogs the whole colony of em this morning. Dishes, laundry and ACIM before my hour commute. It was game time.

Dreams are weird and time is weirder. Two nights ago I had a dream where my father had taken my baby’s blankets out of my truck and thrown them on the ground. You think that would make me pretty angry, but I just accepted it in the dream with a little curiosity.

Yesterday evening, after getting groceries, I was loading them into the trunk in the bed of my truck that I haven’t really opened since last year. And I found a little nest made from my clothes and some stuffing from a pillow that had been in my bed of my truck. I said “oh my God I’ve got a mouse.”

And on my drive home, I realized that I had thrown the mouse’s baby blankets out of my truck, and that in my dream, my father had thrown the baby blankets out of my truck. I realized they were connected, and I started to wonder if the mouse was mad at me or angry at me and if her fear and her anger had thrown a signal through time backwards into my dream the night before.

This morning, the section of ACIM that I read was “weakness and defensiveness”

T.22.V.4 How weak is fear; how little and how meaningless. 2 How insignificant before the quiet strength of those whom love has joined! 3 This is your "enemy,"--a frightened mouse that would attack the universe. 4 How likely is it that it will succeed? 5 Can it be difficult to disregard its feeble squeaks that tell of its omnipotence, and would drown out the hymn of praise to its Creator that every heart throughout the universe forever sings as one? 6 Which is the stronger? 7 Is it this tiny mouse or everything that God created? 8 You and your brother are not joined together by this mouse, but by the Will of God. 9 And can a mouse betray whom God has joined?

Y’all I’ve been FIGHTING with God and the universe and reality. That Anais Nin quote “Please understand I am in full rebellion against my own mind, that when I live, I live by impulse, by emotion, by white heat.” That basically summarized my weekend. Fighting against the illusions in my head instead of finding the quiet strength. And y’all I’m a FIGHTER - it wasn’t a good time.

So yeah, this string of events and the culminating epiphany had me crying on my kitchen floor this morning and I really wanted to share.

Weird SH*T happens when I read this book, and it’s good but a little spooky!
