October 2026
This is a month that could be quite important for you and how you spend your time because it is a pivotal month for you and the world. Decide that October is happy, abundant and enlightening, as well as powerful and effective. Renew this choice every time you think of it. You can choose October to be miraculous and transcendent, healthy and joyful because for you it is full of love and happiness. Turn this over to the Holy Spirit over and over. October is the month before the possible storm. It is the last big chance to change the collective upheaval that may follow on for the next three months. What was coming has been reduced already through healing to only a quarter of what it would have been, but it’s still in the danger zone for the world. We can dissolve our issues which are remnants of hatred and revenge by our forgiveness. What is left are old and ancient lessons meant for healing, and they could be learned at this time. With so much stress going on, there is also this much grace. Any problem you experience reflects a deeper pain inside you but know that only God is Real. See world conflicts as conflicts in your mind and bring the Peace of God to it. God’s Love is Real. Yet any problem is part of an ongoing ‘story’ where someone did something to you against your will. But it is only you who are writing the scripts of your life. Life is your dream. It is meant to be a healing workshop in this dream world to advance your consciousness. God sees only how He created you as Love and Innocence. God sees only Himself in Oneness because this is all He extends. If you think yourself small and unworthy, it is actually pretty arrogant to think God is wrong about you since He knows you better than you could possibly know yourself. Once your guilt is gone, you won’t condemn others and you see only calls for help from others if they are acting out.
Here is a principle that can help you and the world. Be innocent because then you are true and happy in yourself, your perception of others and your situation. When you have let go of your attack thoughts and your specialness, the projection and victimization are gone, there is only love and blessings. Revisit all the significant people and situations in your life and let go of all your attack thoughts. Let go of all the specialness and attention you used the situation for. Forgive others and yourself. Since any situation is a projection of your mind, all situations reflect your attack thoughts. According to your subconscious others acted only according to how you wanted them to act; it was your karma, and your soul lessons, and your judgment that made them act how they did toward you. You had a goal in mind to use in those events as proof to support a certain self-concept that makes you both independent and special. What you did, did not make you happy. This is an opportunity to forgive yourself an ancient guilt. Ask the Tao to carry you back to being true to both yourself and to everyone in the scene. All you perceive outside you is what is in your mind that you didn’t like and so you judged it and put it outside yourself. All you ever perceive is your projection, your movie, your script. Whatever shows up is a major opportunity to forgive yourself something and another is acting out for you. As A Course in Miracle states, “Projection is a choice, not a fact.” Go back to every dark situation in your life and let go of all of the attack thoughts you have gathered about others, the situation and yourself. Let go of the specialness and attention you get from painful situations. This will purify both your mind and the past and it will heal those on whom that you have projected, reducing both your and their burden with your forgiveness.
The extent that you separated and went independent is the extent that you put burdens on yourself and this false self-importance is both deadening and self-destructive. Later, as you feel this heavy burden that you loaded on yourself for specialness, you notice that you feel sorry for yourself and feel a deep need for sympathy. This can lead to a chronic problem or even a catastrophic illness. You could put these burdens, as well as the feeling of being sorry for yourself, on the Altar of Truth. Our problems are a misuse of time used to avoid God’s Love and His Gifts and we attack Him by using time and delay against Him. We think we are comfortable in our own little world but the pain, problems, and negativity are growing. The need for sympathy is one of the things that lock you into chronic problems and it means you are still in sacrifice supporting a self-image that was never true. If you want to see events truly, you are called to return to being true to yourself no matter how many steps you got off the track of your life. Any upset or suffering shows where you separated, blamed others for your separation, experienced pain, fear, hurt and revenge and made it personal instead of a lesson. It was where you blamed another rather than accepted the healing lesson. You made up a ‘story’, a projection on others of your own self-attack that allowed you to get off the track and make another self-concept, thinking it would fulfil a need. But this became just another self-concept you have to feed. It is a self-defeating pattern which you now have to compensate for by putting on a ‘good face.’ Our compensations which show how ‘good’ we are often take up more energy than what they are compensating for. The energy needed for your shadows and their compensations can leave you exhausted, burnt out and meaningless. No matter how far you got off the path of being true to yourself, ask the Holy Spirit to carry you back. Let go of all your attack thoughts, specialness and dark glamor in your victim events in order to purify and be free of them. Doing this healing supports the whole world.
You don’t realize that your anger feeds the murders and wars in the world. You don’t realize that your sadness and depression fuels the floods and losses in this world. Your heartbreaks and victim stories support revenge; hatred and self-hatred. They support and generate conflict in the world. The conflicts in the ego’s split mind add to the world’s earthquakes. Your dramas and tantrums feed all the soap operas and painful dramas that people have to suffer through, including your own. Your lack, scarcity and the grievances that generate painful emotions come from when you separated from others. You blamed others for your insane thoughts that led to scenes that justified your separation, and separation is at the root of all problems. Your remembrance of your Oneness with God heals all wounds and scarcity. All our minds are connected, and our mind directly influences the world. We can choose healing or blame. Healing leads to life, while judgment leads to suffering and death. You can repeat over and over, my mind is One with God’s.
Our perception is made from our attack thoughts, and it has made a world of attack, separation and suffering. (A Course in Miracles). Heaven doesn’t see separation, only Oneness. It doesn’t see our guilt or any of the other emotions played out in the world as they are illusions that we are using to prove something and keep this world of separation intact for our ego. You are asked to commit to emotional maturity this month as emotions of anger, hurt, humiliation and revenge are destructive both personally and collectively. Unless emotions are used as a sign of what needs healing, they are used to make and keep separation and pain between us and others. Separation, especially the belief we are separate from God, is the root cause of all suffering and every problem. It is now time to let go of our idols and attachments, thinking there is something beyond and besides God that will bring us safety and joy. Attachments are future pain and idols lead to shattered dreams. Idols set up false goals that lead nowhere. You think your idols will save you, but they always lead to grave disappointment and shattered dreams with emphasis on the grave because with the final disappointment and shattered dream that come about as the result of an idol it leads to death and the grave.
Our greatest idols are the self-concepts we make, such as being the ‘hero of the dream,’ the ‘hard worker’, the ‘good person’, the ‘one who not only succeeds but succeeds in spite of the odds’. When there is a lack of compassion we fragment ourselves and make shadows. This blocks the rewards of our goodness which then become sacrifice and compensation. In every situation of separation in our lives that we suffered, we did it to be special and to demand that things be done our way. This puts us in an authority conflict with parents, partners and Heaven as well as demanding that we are right and others are not. This brings divisiveness and conflict to our mind as a way of life. A split mind, which is the nature of the personal mind, is always in conflict and projects it onto people and situations around us and on the world.
We make ourselves the ‘boss’ ignoring what we hid from ourselves in the subconscious and we used whatever happened in order to attack and to exclude God, as A Course in Miracles states, we made a world separate from God in a place where we could be ‘god’ of our own world. We want to be the ‘Boss Baby’ of ourselves and everyone else and not have anyone else tell us what to do. We want to do things our way and to have everyone else do it our way as well. We don’t even want Heaven’s Way, though only the Holy Spirit’s Way will work for everyone, not only for now but for all eternity.
For us to have an easy birth to a new level and help the world in the same manner, we are asked to give up our control in return for love and truth. We are asked to give up our authority conflict and ‘being right’ that we used to hide all the guilt and places we were wrong so they can now be purified and let go of. And finally, we are asked to let go of ‘our way’ and its denial so we can have Heaven’s Way that works for all.
When you are afraid, it simply means you have written a fearful script. When you are suffering you are writing a script of suffering. This supports a certain self-concept that is part of your ego. What comes from the ego is an illusion because the ego itself is an illusion. Heaven has assigned one meaning for everything and it is one that is full of Peace, Love, and Oneness. The Holy Spirit perceives all things and all events in terms of one goal which is healing. Our personal mind sees a world of attack manufactured from our attack thoughts. You need not be fearful of anything you experience looking through the Holy Spirit’s Vision because God goes with you wherever you go. Heaven’s Vision sees nothing that is a sign of sin, destruction or death. It sees no obstacle to peace, but It sees everything as a means to peace. You, also, can see everything as a means to peace, by letting go of all your attack thoughts and your desire for specialness. Being a victim or in pain in any way is both a hidden attack on someone and a major attack on yourself filled with the ego’s need for attention and specialness, which we chose in lieu of bonding and peace. Time being the illusion it is, we can go back and make another choice for peace, bonding, and Heaven in every painful event we experienced in our lives. We can choose to see events through the Holy Spirit’s Vision. This allows true meaning to restore events to bonding and peace rather than self-defeating patterns and loss. Self-defeating patterns and belief in failure feeds the ego’s need for independence and specialness as a form of separation. These are the only things that keep the ego alive through our attack thoughts. The ego sees Heaven and its Oneness as a threat to its existence, and rightly so, and will at times viciously attack when it seems to be losing its grip on you. The ego has a thousand ways to look at an event, but the Holy Spirit has only One. The more you see through the Holy Spirit’s eyes to see your wholeness, the more you join with Heaven to see your holiness and then see everything in Its light. The more you look at everything through your holiness the more you begin to recognize yourself as a Child of God. Here you know you deserve all good things, and you want only to be in the Oneness of God’s Mind. The more you practice extending your and God’s Love, the more you recognize yourself as the Child of God. You were created in Love by Love as Love for Love. Everything else you perceive is from the ego and you get to decide if you want to be true to yourself and follow Heaven’s path or if you want to decide for the ego and its world of attack, scarcity and suffering. Until you fully commit to God you will vacillate back and forth between God’s plan and the ego’s. God’s path leads you to ever greater peace and happiness while on the ego’s path of strife, you fight to win, to be right and have everything your way. From Peace comes Love and Joy, Abundance and Health. The split mind between God’s Path and the ego’s can reach an intolerable level of conflict. The ego’s way out is to attack yourself and others, while the Holy Spirit sees the way out through peace. When you perceive using the Holy Spirit’s eyes you see only peace. Let the Holy Spirit look at your whole life and every painful incident in it and it will transform them from conflict and an obstacle to peace to being a means to peace.
There is a fear of losing your self as you approach God and this makes you fearful because it is the loss of everything you built and everything you think you are. When you believe that when you separated from God, you attacked Him. These attack thoughts lead to fear of God as if Love Itself could attack you for anything. Your attack on God makes you think God is attacking you and this makes you afraid of God. To be afraid of God is to be afraid of Love. It doesn’t help that whenever you suffered you also secretly blamed your suffering on God. Yet, what you blamed on God could only have been done by you subconsciously because God cannot go against His Nature Which is Love. If He did, the whole Ground of Being would disintegrate and we would all be gone. God cannot attack God and God cannot attack you Who are Part of God without attacking Himself. You are afraid of losing yourself in finding God, but how can your self be lost by being found? The ego’s view of events always contains guilt and blame, fear and need as well as pain which comes through separation and misinterpretation. Through Heaven’s eyes there is only innocence and peace. Yet the Holy Spirit which is part of your mind and part of God’s sees every attack in the world as a call for help.
What could you possibly lose as you join with Heaven? You can review past events of pain that generated self-concepts and destructive patterns with God’s Love instead of attack. Now through your intention of healing, wholeness, joining God and bringing His Love and light to those in need it allows only peace to remain. You are returning to the path of being true to yourself which is also Heaven’s path of miracles. On Heaven’s path you need prove nothing. You need do nothing. Grace will inspire and Grace will direct. Grace will accomplish it all. Simply get out of the way, relinquishing all judgment and attack thoughts you see and let Heaven “show off”. Miracles are Heaven’s way of Being and extending Itself in Love and creation. All of your past painful patterns are adding to the painful patterns of collective issues showing themselves in destructive weather patterns and earth changes. These are the very embodiments of our tantrums and painful misinterpretations that are attacking the earth as we attack ourselves. All of our traumas and heartbreaks are really tantrums that you could simply let go of. Change your mind about yourself and as your mind changes so does your perception of the world. Your ego has been seeking idols to fulfil itself because of lost bonding. The shadows that come about in separation are made to satisfy with dark glamor a certain self-image you have of yourself. This can lead to disappointments and shattered dreams while strengthening the ego’s control to build itself at your expense. Let go of the ups and downs and the ego’s vicious circle of inflation and deflation. As you heal yourself it brings light to you and the world since all minds are connected.
October is meant to be a birth month, a new beginning and we can help by birthing ourselves into a better version of ourselves. We are being offered new levels of consciousness. Be ready and open. Great leaps forward from your self to a better self or even to your Higher Self can occur this month. If you have the eyes to see, almost anything can become a Gateway of Initiation. Step through your perception of events to where God awaits you. The Holy Spirit will show you the way if you ask. Let the Love of God sustain you in all difficulties for easy and happy resolution. This can collapse the time it takes to reach any goal such as knowing yourself as a Child of God, as a Part of God’s Mind and a Part of His Oneness. You can give up seeing yourself as a stranger in a strange land. You dream a dream world in order to seek surcease of your sorrow, but you do it in a world of sorrows that you are dreaming through your attack thoughts. If you join Heaven in your mind, your perception is no longer made up of attack thoughts and judgment. To let go of all judgment, attack thoughts and specialness is to reclaim the world for truth and peace. Release your guilt. It is an ego fabrication to manufacture fear and keep you enslaved in a world you originally made to keep yourself ‘entertained’. You can only suffer from the movie of your mind. Scary movies at one point seemed more engaging and entertaining. But if you forget that you made them, they then seem real and they terrorize you. This can’t be the truth, it is only a story you made up. You really do want the truth because it is carefree and filled with ease and partnership. Choose the world you want to live in. Do you want the every day world you made out of attack thoughts that is becoming ever more frightening or the Garden filled with love, beauty and forgiveness? What do you want? You can choose again… It’s a crucial time. How do you want to use your time? If you are sustained by the Love of God, all of your idols and false safety fabrications are let go of. No problem can confound you. You have perfect peace and confidence to go forward. Being sustained by the Love of God reminds you that you are One with God and this helps you grow from your self to your Higher Self, which is One with God.
