The author’s journey with creating Holy Moly begins decades earlier with a simple but unsettling question: Where does Jesus fit into all of this? After years of exploring spirituality—through recovery work, personal growth, and the teachings of the Pathwork Guide—the author realized she didn’t have an answer.

And she wasn’t alone.

As modern spirituality has expanded, many have turned away from organized religion, often leaving behind Christ in the process. Yet according to the Pathwork teachings, Christ consciousness is central to this very movement. This raises a deeper question: have we misunderstood Christ all along?

Through her own journey—from a traditional Christian upbringing to years in Alcoholics Anonymous, and eventually into deep study of the Pathwork teachings—the author traces how her understanding evolved. A turning point came through the “cosmology lectures,” which revealed a broader, more integrated story of humanity, duality, and Christ’s role in our return to truth.

Holy Moly shares this expanded perspective—bridging spirituality and Christianity in a way that is both practical and transformative. It invites readers to reconsider what they’ve been taught, and to discover how this larger story lives within them.

Read Holy Moly, Chapter 1: The Good Lord Willing

The Pathwork Guide explores one of life’s most enduring questions: do we truly have free will, or is everything governed by fate? The answer offered here bridges both perspectives. While we always possess free will, our current circumstances are shaped by past choices—sometimes from this life, and sometimes from earlier ones.

What we often call fate is simply the unfolding of cause and effect. Every thought, feeling, and action sets something in motion. When the results appear later, especially with a time delay, they can feel random or unjust. But in truth, nothing happens without our participation in creating it.

This understanding reframes suffering. Rather than punishment, unhappiness becomes a signal—and even a remedy—guiding us back toward alignment with divine law. Growth begins when we stop looking outward for causes and instead examine our inner patterns.

The Guide also distinguishes between two kinds of will: one driven by ego and tension, and another flowing from the Higher Self, marked by clarity and peace. Learning to align with this deeper will is key to transformation.

Ultimately, “the good Lord willing” is not about surrendering control—it is about choosing, freely, to align with truth.

The Pathwork Guide reframes a central spiritual question: who—or what—is Christ? Rather than equating Christ simply with God or reducing Jesus to a wise teacher, these teachings present a more nuanced view. Christ is described as the highest created spiritual being—the first emanation of God—while Jesus was the human incarnation through which this being entered Earth.

Importantly, the same divine substance that lives in Christ exists in all of us as our Higher Self. The difference lies not in kind, but in degree. Spiritual growth, then, is the gradual unfolding of this inner light.

The Guide also explores humanity’s resistance to Christ, tracing it back to a subtle but powerful distortion: the belief that divine love is unequal or unfair. This seed of comparison and jealousy is presented as an origin point of separation and suffering.

Finally, it introduces the deeper purpose of Christ’s incarnation. Beyond teachings or symbolism, Christ’s mission was to fulfill a critical role in the Plan of Salvation—upholding divine law while making return to God possible for all beings. This act preserved both justice and free will.

Christ’s story, then, is not just history—it is a living pathway back to wholeness.
