Practical Wisdom: Living 5D in a 3D World
Integrating higher consciousness into everyday life—one miracle at a time
Beloved Friend,
We are learning to trust a “new” God—the living Presence within Who is only Love. Faithfulness is how that relationship flowers. It is not gritted-teeth belief; it’s the gentle, steady habit of giving everything to the Holy Spirit and letting Love set all things right. The Manual for Teachers is direct: “The extent of the teacher of God’s faithfulness is the measure of his advancement in the curriculum” (M-4.IX.1). As faithfulness grows, fear loosens, control softens, and a quiet happiness becomes normal.
A Course in Miracles gives us the God we can fall in love with: “There is no love but God’s” (W-127). Love without opposite. No bargaining, no threat, no tallying of sins, and no revenge. Only the certainty that “God is but Love, and therefore so am I” (Rev V.In.). When we place our whole life in that Love, we begin to live “under no laws but God’s” (W-76). Anxiety fades because our Source is not the world. The peace we craved turns out to be “the peace of God…shining in me now” (W-188).
Faithfulness means consistency—showing up in thought, word, and deed as if Love is really in charge. The Course calls this honesty: the alignment of what we think, say, and do (M-4.II). It is also defenseless, because where Love is trusted, there is nothing to protect (M-4.VI). And it is joy, because certainty in God is lighthearted (M-4.V). If you hear your mind ask, “But what about this one problem?” let Jesus answer: “Trust would settle every problem now.” (T-26.VIII.2)
Faithfulness doesn’t make God faithful to us; it lets us notice that God already is. Each moment we hand over, each grievance we forgive, each decision we pause long enough to ask, “Holy Spirit, what would You have me do?”—these are love notes in a living romance. We stop dating the ego and elope with God.
Integration in Daily Life
Today, practice one simple rhythm: pause, offer, receive. Before the text, the meeting, the conversation, paying the bill—pause. Offer it whole: “Holy Spirit, I place this in Your hands.” Receive the next step by feel, not force. If fear rises, let it be your cue to deepen faithfulness: “I am not asked to fix, only to follow.” If you forget and grasp for control, smile and begin again. Faithfulness is not a performance; it’s a returning. By bedtime, review your day with Jesus. Notice where trust was steady and where it wobbled. In both, give thanks. Gratitude fertilizes consistency.
Member Reflection
“Finding Laina on YouTube was Divine.”
I’ve been enchanted by her teachings ever since. She interprets A Course in Miracles in a way that makes sense—so I can finally understand what it’s really saying. At 76, after a lifetime guided by the ego, ACIM feels brand new to me. And now, through the Awareness Academy, I’m thrilled to be diving into it with Laina’s clear and loving guidance.

Faithfulness is trusting the unseen until it becomes the only thing you see.
Closing Transmission
Beloved Presence, we remember You are the only Love there is. We rest in Your kind gaze and commit our minds to Your guidance. Where we have relied on the world, we release it into Your light. Where we have clung to fear, we lay it gently on Your altar. Let our trust be simple, our hearts undefended, and our steps guided. We accept Your definition of us—holy, whole, and forever safe. And so we walk faithfully, in joy, under no laws but Yours. Amen.
I left the God I was taught to fear and found the God I was born to love. We’ve been inseparable ever since.”
With everlasting love,
Founder, The Awareness Academy
