“Before I took the course I was pretty happy most of the time, but I could still get irritated with people sometimes when things didn't go my way. And, I definitely pretty much had an idea of how everything should go, so that would be a source of frustration.
With taking the course, I found a lot more acceptance of not only others, but also myself. And I became even happier. The times when things might disturb me are at a much lower level and don't hang around long at all. A lot of times it doesn't even bother me.
I'm just aware that, "oh, that would have bothered me in the past." I would talk to myself. I would say, "you shouldn't let this bother you, blah, blah, blah." I would do all this self talk, and now almost all the time its just automatic.
It's just an experience of feeling love. You can be in a group, and as each person talks I'm just feeling all this positive regard for them, and acceptance of what they are saying. It doesn't have to be what I think and feel. So, it's not like they're clones, but just this overall acceptance of each person.
God is in everything. That's the way I experience it. That everything that is, is that essence. Whether it's divine essence or just the essence of life.”
