Things that seem to happen in the world are neither good nor bad. It is the underlying thoughts and fears that need to be looked at. How do I really feel is the continuing barometer. Minor fearfulness is the same opportunity as intense fear or anger. The ego will minimalize that, but the message underneath is that you are worth that mind-watching. ACIM says "Beware of the shabby belief that neither you nor anyone else is worthy of consistent effort." If we follow those thoughts down they will lead to a concept of a self that was made to take the place of the spiritual self. The guidance that we receive from Holy Spirit is designed to unravel ourselves from that. We don't really have any issues in form, it's all mental. It takes a lot of mind training to experience that. We need to practice with what is arising. The key is moving the focus from what happened or didn't happen to what you are feeling.
