A Course in Miracles is very much about the healing of the unconscious guilt in the mind. I've recently begun referring to said guilt as the junk in my trunk!
As more illusory time seems to pass between my learning about this pile of junk and my application of true forgiveness, I notice these beautiful instances when there just is NO junk in my trunk or anyone else's trunk for that matter. There's nothing scary about this realization. In fact, it is the exact opposite of scary. It's the most peaceful and beautiful experience I've ever had. I wouldn't mind being that way all the time.
Don't get me wrong, there are other times when there seems to be so much junk in my trunk that I wonder if I'm doing my part of the junk removal process correctly. Interestingly, these are often the same times when I'm noticing the junk in my brother's trunk.
My willingness to notice that the junk in my brother's trunk is the same darn junk that is in my own trunk is what helps me to experience that all the junk is just imagined, made up, unreal! Of course, the Holy Spirit does His thing which evidently is all the heavy junk lifting.
Sooner or later, we all get down to the last piece of imagined junk in that imagined trunk, and then LOVE will be all that's left!
Thank God for his beautiful teachers who aren't afraid to speak up about the junk in my trunk. If I refuse to look at the junk, how will I ever know I am free of it?

I LOVE that "junk in my trunk" analogy! I've found my "junk" in the trunks of others too... Seems a funny way to find out that the "other" is me and it's still MY junk and still in MY trunk that I've skillfully disguised with a different face! I'm on to my tricks though just as you are even though it's not always easy to recognize and take responsibility for what really is MY junk! Seems it's just one more way the HS uses our junk to wake us up! Thanks!
