ACIM Satsang with Barret De La Luz, Trusting Holy Spirit
A Course in Miracles with Jenny Maria, Barret & Awaken to Love 💕Show Notes
What if the very Guide sent to free you is the One you secretly distrust? In this revealing ACIM Satsang, Barret De La Luz explores the inner conflict around trusting the Holy Spirit — and why awakening can feel so challenging because of it.

Drawing from a passage in A Course in Miracles, Barret looks at the uncomfortable idea that we “think the loss of sin is a curse.” While we say we want freedom, something in us resists the message that we are completely innocent. Beneath that resistance is a distorted image of the Holy Spirit — a subtle suspicion that Guidance may not truly have our best interests at heart.
At the same time, the ego presents itself as a loyal friend, promising protection and control, yet repeatedly leading us into suffering. Part of awakening is unmasking both illusions: the false image we place on the Holy Spirit, and the ego’s false friendliness.
Barret reminds us that trust grows through experience. We are not asked to trust far — just to take the next obvious step. Each small willingness eases fear and strengthens confidence in the Spirit's Guidance.
In a helpful exchange with a participant, Barret encourages balance on the healing path — allowing emotions to surface, but not becoming fixated on the shadow. This is not meant to be a grueling journey through darkness. Joy is essential to remembering on the path to Home.
The Satsang closes with the powerful declaration from ACIM Lesson 216: “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.”
The A Course in Miracles text reading is from Chapter 25. VIII. Justice Returned to Love.

Tonight we’re watching the movie Ghost which inspired me to read Are “Psychic” Powers Desirable? from The Manual for Teachers of A Course in Miracles. It was a powerful teaching session that started with a lot of necessary clearing in the group, leading me first to read The Choice for Completion, which is an incredibly powerful section that can lead us straight into an experience - totally out of specialness!
Inspired by the teachings of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), this retreat session with Jenny Maria De La Luz explores the power of willingness, quieting the mind, and taking back projection. Through practical guidance and heartfelt interactions with participants, Jenny Maria shows how the ego keeps the mind seeking outside itself, while true peace is found by questioning our perceptions and opening to the Spirit's guidance. 💛
