Frances Xu Shares About “Miracles and Guidance”
In Japan, June 2023, Frances Xu held a workshop dedicated to ‘Miracles and Guidance,’ two topics that hold great significance and are central to her teachings. Through parables drawn from her own spiritual journey since beginning the Course in 2007, Frances Xu delves into the profound truths underlying these themes.
The central message conveyed by these parables from Frances is that we are not alone. A living presence, an inner healer, accompanies us and provides loving guidance for every decision presented to us. Following this presence leads to peace and happiness in the present moment, so that the miraculous nature of our true reality is revealed to us. She beautifully conveys the love affair we all share with the Holy Spirit; a constant that forever persists, even amidst the noise of the ego.
Frances opens the workshop by sharing her own personal account of how she began experiencing A Course in Miracles as a living presence. Although the poetic language of this blue book was profoundly moving and stirred her emotions, she transcended the need for the words.
Her life took an unexpected turn when this living presence began directing her actions and leading her to specific places. In her own words, “I suddenly realized there is a power not of this world, guiding everything of this world.”
At the time she began her study of the Course, Frances lived in Australia, and life had not unfolded as she had envisioned. Then, on a particular day, she took a walk in the park with a specific question in her mind, “Should I stay in Australia or move back to China?” To her surprise, Frances heard an audible voice that provided specific guidance: “Stay; something is going to happen for you here.” Although the voice never returned, she remained attuned to an internal feeling, a clarity that encouraged her to remain in Australia.
Consequently, she stayed there for an additional five years after hearing the voice, even though she had no clear understanding of what she was waiting for. After holding out in Australia for this time, Frances met David while he was on tour. Curious, she asked the inner voice, “Is this what I’ve been waiting for?” The Spirit’s response was unequivocal: “Yes.”
“The goal of ACIM is to realize the direct connection we have with Spirit inside. As we step back, he steps forward. As we step back, we see that his decision is made for us.” Frances Xu.
This experience differed significantly from what Frances had anticipated from her spiritual journey. Initially, she believed it was all about being a good student by mastering the metaphysics, understanding the concepts, and doing the right things.
However, the reality of saying “yes” to Jesus and embracing A Course in Miracles revealed a profound truth to Frances, which she then extends to everyone at the workshop: a divine presence will come forth to guide you. Jesus conveys to us, “it’s my job to help you unwind from the world, not yours.”
This is why Frances fervently teaches that we cannot judge how this awakening path should unfold, encouraging us to release the self-imposed pressure on ourselves. Correcting our belief in separation is the Spirit’s function, and our willingness to be guided is all that matters. In this process, Frances shares, we will undoubtedly recognize that Jesus is with us always.
“I realized I can’t heal myself, I have to let the Spirit do his job
And this trust is unconditional, the Spirit WILL do his job.” Frances Xu.
Frances has a remarkable gift for gently leading our minds to a place of total trust. To make us feel a beautiful sense of safety in the arms of the Holy Spirit. Once we say “yes” to God, we can trust that we are held every step of the way.
