Hello, My Mighty Companion,


Have you ever noticed how life can start to feel like a long series of problems, one after another, each one asking for your time, your energy, and your concern? Just when you think you’ve dealt with one, another appears, different on the surface but strangely familiar underneath. It’s easy in those moments to think something has gone wrong, or that you’re falling behind somehow.


A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 193 teaches us to look at this differently. It says, “All things are lessons God would have me learn.” Instead of seeing what we’re facing as problems or punishments, the Course invites us to recognize them as opportunities for correction and healing. When we’re willing to pause and apply forgiveness, understood as a change in perception, what felt heavy can begin to soften, and peace becomes possible right where we are.


If you’re feeling that, this is a powerful time to go deeper. A Clarity Session is a way to see what’s really unfolding in your life and how to respond from a place of purpose. It’s also an opportunity to look at how the Course applies to what you’re going through right now. And if you’re ready to go further, I invite you to work with me more closely. I offer coaching & mentorship for students who want to live these teachings, not just study them. You don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be reminded of your value. I’d be honored to support you in doing that.


If you’re feeling the pull to go deeper, the Mighty Companions Miracle Community is here for you. Members receive a weekly Study Guide Journal, the ACIM Language of Love Glossary, unlisted YouTube playlists, and invitations to members-only workshops. Spirit must really want to continue extending opportunity ... we haven't resolved the technical challenges, we're offering one more week of the $97 Lifetime Membership.  Because we’re creating a strong, stable container for real transformation, monthly membership is not offered. This community is for devoted A Course in Miracles students who are ready to commit to the journey — not just visit it temporarily. We’re building something lasting, and that requires presence, not just participation.

Please come out and join the community. 

Sunday at 1:00 pm MST.
Unity Temple | 1555 Race Street, Denver
(Doors open at 12:30 PM)

If you can't join in person, join us on Facebook Live and YouTube Live


We meet to remember that no one walks the way alone.


With love and appreciation,
Earl

Prepare for the Year Ahead

Are you, like many of us, feeling the drastic energy shift as we move into 2026? There’s a lot stirring right now. Even if you can’t quite name it, you may be sensing that something deeper is moving in your life. That’s not your imagination. The energy of this year is different, and it’s here to wake something up in you.

If you’re looking for grounded spiritual insight into what this cycle is bringing, I’m offering astrology and numerology readings to help you look at the year ahead. We’ll explore your unique patterns, timing, and where the energy is guiding you. Not to predict your future, but to help you feel more aligned with it. These sessions are a chance to get real clarity on what wants to shift, what’s no longer serving you, and how to move forward without resistance.


If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start trusting what you feel, I’d love to take a look at the map with you.


Here are ways we can keep growing together:

Thank you for walking this journey with me.


How to Stop Getting Caught in the Same Problem Repeatedly

A Course in Miracles says, “All things are lessons God would have me learn.” Not some things. Not spiritual things. All things. That means every experience, no matter how painful or confusing, is a lesson in perception. And when a certain type of problem keeps showing up again and again, it doesn’t mean you’re stuck. It means you’re being shown what still needs to be seen differently.

You are not being punished. You are being invited to choose again.

The Form Changes.
The Lesson Does Not.

The ego tells you, “This is about money,” or “This is about your relationship,” or “This is about your body.” It wants you to believe each issue is separate. But the Course teaches that all problems are the same at the core, and so is the answer.


What looks like a financial issue, a betrayal, or a health scare is not what it appears to be. Each one is a different form of the same lesson: a call to see with spiritual vision instead of fear.


The truth is this: if something keeps returning in your life, it's not random. It’s the same lesson coming in a different outfit, asking to be healed.

✨Astrological Energy This Week: Opening to a Higher View

From January 17 through January 23, there is a noticeable shift in the collective atmosphere as planetary energy begins moving away from heaviness and structure and toward awareness, perspective, and openness. After a period focused on responsibility and control, this week introduces a lighter, more spacious quality that supports stepping back from rigid interpretations and habitual ways of seeing our circumstances.


On January 18, a New Moon in the final degrees of Capricorn offers a quiet but important reset around trust, boundaries, and inner authority. This moment is less about setting goals through effort and more about releasing pressure and self-judgment. It’s an opportunity to loosen the belief that progress must be earned through struggle and to allow a steadier sense of guidance to emerge.


Beginning January 19, as the Sun enters Aquarius, the tone shifts toward greater objectivity and expanded awareness. As Mercury and Mars also move into Aquarius, there is growing support for stepping back from emotional reactivity and viewing situations from a higher vantage point. This period favors insight over analysis and clarity over effort, making it easier to recognize repetitive thought patterns and release problem-centered narratives without force, allowing perception to naturally reorganize around greater ease and coherence.


Overall, this week supports a movement from control into clarity. Rather than pushing for change, there is an invitation to allow perception itself to shift. When the mind becomes more spacious, action follows naturally, guided by understanding rather than urgency.
