As we come closer to the end of these lessons, we can ask what have we learned? My thoughts of the Christ have moved from the ideal to the here and now practical world. Instead of leaders, guides and like … Continue reading →

It’s not me who he leaves in charge it’s we. We may not feel ready but this is what the ancient scriptures wrote when Jesus last appeared to his followers. He knew we weren’t ready but also saw that we … Continue reading →

Do you feel ready to practice these lessons without referring to the book? It’s alright if you don’t as it is if you do. The point is, has there been a change in your thinking and do you know how … Continue reading →

When we have our energy we can follow the purpose given to us by our source for our life. When we are in the flow we have a sense of peace and joy because we are completing God’s thought. The … Continue reading →

Today we celebrate the birth of peace. Today we accept our purity and the purity of our fellow mankind. Today we release all fear and take a glimpse into eternal joy. Today we see every mistake we have made throughout … Continue reading →

God’s answer is immediate but our acceptance sometimes lags behind. It’s so difficult accepting that we don’t know. As we grow in dialogue and disassemble our polarized culture we will realize we don’t know. Creating a space for one that … Continue reading →

Here we are close to the end of this Course and he is still speaking to us about the only task we have: to allow the Holy Spirit to correct our perception. This Course has been dedicated to the idea … Continue reading →

Since we are sinless then we are without sickness. Clearly you can only ‘see’ sickness in a body or in a mind that is conflicted between reality and illusion. In the reality of love there is no sickness. So what … Continue reading →

When I was a little boy I hated Christmas night. It was because Christmas was almost over. Everything of this world has an end to it and sometimes we avoid enjoying the moment because we already see the end. The … Continue reading →

Love is consistently one thing, the choice for truth. The Holy Spirit knows our innocence and our fears if we let her help us we can love. Alone we get lost in the confusion of fear. This choice we waffle … Continue reading →

This calls us to responsibility; to put an end to blame and to finally resolve conflict. You might notice that the key is in relying on the Voice for God. Why? Because we throw up so much resistance to today’s … Continue reading →

The great Catholic Trappist monk wrote, “all I want is to disappear into the mind of God”. How did he get there. He began life you and I ( see Seven Story Mountain, written by Merton in his early adult … Continue reading →
