How excited are you with today’s lesson? It’s clear now that it has always been and still is only my resistance to the truth. The so called journey is simply my willingness to trust my Source. Surely there are many … Continue reading →

Here is the explanation of why we want to disconnect from what we think apart from God. As we refuse to live an unhappy life we can let go of the past and all the ‘shoulda ‘ Walk with those … Continue reading →

We are the second coming. Our older brother does not come alone. Now we are with him having overcome our fear of each other. The Holy Spirit can rest now that we have learned to be directed only by love. … Continue reading →

Some may remember in the Jesus story, why, he didn’t put up more of a fight when a small minority saw him as a threat while the vast majority loved him as their leader. When referring to the drama of … Continue reading →

It’s reassuring that he lets us know that our human separated thinking can’t comprehend this holiness. But when we are thinking with God we understand together. So I let myself go there. I refocus there. I realize this practice is … Continue reading →

Did the first verse confuse you as it did me? I don’t think of God’s love as mine. I have always at been trained as “His love is earned”. Forgiveness teaches us differently. The Atonement makes it clear. Time for … Continue reading →

It’s back to work for us in this lesson. Our work is entirely about acceptance. In the last lesson we tried to reach what The Holy Spirit thinks and tried to follow it as our goal. Here what she thinks … Continue reading →

How simple the difficult can be. When I was in high school we had a weekend retreat every year. Meals were prepared and served. There was no media present. The retreat campus was away from any towns or inhabitants and … Continue reading →

This lesson shares the plan for salvation: Jesus requests our help, we need the Holy Spirit just as he did, for the purpose of being able to see the Christ in all beings. The Holy Spirit communicates through our mind … Continue reading →

Why is God’s plan for us to awaken from all dreams? He knows something we have forgotten: that His/Her/its love for us is limitless. Many of our stories about God are dramatic and romantic. The Course is inviting us to … Continue reading →

It’s true! All fear rests in the past. We are learning to let go of the past and live in the now. When we experience fear we are back in the past. What does the now look like? How can … Continue reading →

So in-spite of our short comings or problems that occupy our mind, God’s will be done. It’s both reassuring and challenging because how long our suffering will continue is up to us. In dealing with the issue of ‘how long’, … Continue reading →

With Christ’s vision I am at peace and not afraid of my brothers. This time of peace allows the Holy Spirit to guide me. I don’t know the way because I am no longer listening to the ego which thinks … Continue reading →

He doesn’t tell us what it is because we relate to form ( the world we created). The real world could take any form if there was a reason for it. What we made came out of fear that was … Continue reading →

If you close your eyes with this thought in mind you will experience the kind of joy nothing in this world can offer. If you have any trouble getting there then consider what he said in this lesson: “Yet I … Continue reading →

Some of us release grudges easily while others who cling to a bodily identity need their grudges desperately. Do not try to take their grudge away but do not join it either. Without your support the illusion of the past … Continue reading →

This isn’t about ignoring or avoiding. It’s about correction. Jesus is not being factitious. He’s referring us to the correction of who he is. He’s asking us to let go of the super star mentality and accept everyone we meet … Continue reading →
