To judge them individually is pointless. Their tiny differences in form...

"To judge them individually is pointless. Their tiny differences in form are real no difference at all. None of them matters. That they have in common and nothing else." T-18.I.7:8-10

In life we experience all kinds of seeming challenges, yet what A Course in Miracles reminds us is that even when in form they appear to be different, in truth, every seeming challenge is the same for there is no order of difficulty in miracles.

Whether you are dealing with a financial, health, career, relationship, emotional or whatever the issue may seem to be, all we are asked to do is to offer our challenges to the Holy Spirit to help us see things as they really are; illusions and not truth.
In that sense, our mind is healed and the challenge no longer has an effect on us. As we practice being more peaceful and trusting as a result of surrendering our troubles to Spirit, we experience clarity of thought. From that space we are guided as to what to do, if there is a doing involved, which could be the answer to any seeming challenge we may be faced with.

But if we continue to solve our problems ourselves, all we are doing is perpetuating the illusion of lack and limitation within our own mind. Remember that everything we think is happening to us, is really happening within us and therefore projected out into the world. That's why it is said that as within so without.

So if we want to experience a difference without, we first need to address the within, which caused us to project the without we are experiencing. We address the within by offering our fear-based thoughts to the Holy Spirit, not by us trying to fix or change anything. In doing so, even if the without does not change, at least we are at peace with what is, which is referred to as the peace that passeth understanding. See how simple it is?
