Rev. Karen Worth was interviewed by Laura “Joy” Bedford.
Karen’s journey towards understanding began in 2006 while standing at her mailbox. As A Course in Miracles teaches, “The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of light that makes sight possible” (25:6:3:1). It was at this moment that Grace intervened, and Karen came to a profound realization that her own mind could be her downfall if she didn’t make a change. This marked the beginning of her path of surrendering to the truth.
Her journey started by working with the subconscious mind through Centerpoint Holosync meditation. She then progressed to working with the conscious mind through Vipassana meditations, A Course in Miracles (ACIM), and eventually Self Inquiry. Alongside these practices, she sought guidance from various gurus and teachers. It was during this time that she met Regina at a local ACIM meeting, which led her to further explorations, including ACIM gatherings, the CMC Ministerial program Ministerial program, Awakening Together’s MPP, Ramana Maharishi’s teachings, Michael Langford’s insights, and AHAM meditation and retreat center.
In 2018, Karen dedicated several weeks to a Rupert Spira meditation on Existence. She was determined to grasp the essence of Rupert’s teachings before moving forward. During a walk, she posed a profound question to her mind: “If I’m not the body, then what exists?” Everything came to a halt as her mind grappled with the question and eventually surrendered, realizing that it did not exist as a distinct identity. There was only existence. This revelation echoed the words of Moses, “I am that I AM.”
As a community, our mission is to guide individuals toward self-reliance on their inner wisdom, and Rev. Karen Worth exemplifies the heart of this mission through her personal journey of aligning with her inner wisdom. She shared how her path evolved from being an “Awakening Together member with a seeker identity” to experiencing the shedding of various identities.
