Understand Mind is not brain. The “all in all in all” as the Greek philosopher Hermès put it.

This is the departure point for the ego. It can’t comprehend this statement and so we are confused unless…This is why we must find the determination to see instead of relying on what we made in place of ‘seeing’ (the … Continue reading →

For years I misunderstood the word “attack” in this Course. Because I felt it to be a highly visible dramatic event I missed it’s powerful subtle teaching. I can see how the norm I find myself living in is the … Continue reading →

I often make the mistake of judging or applying morality to what I am doing rather than meaning. This is cultural trap that this lesson is attempting to lift us out of. The practice is needed.

It’s time for us to leave our “cave” and turn into the light. Plato suggested we’re are afraid of the light and turned our back on it to view reflections on the back wall. We have been hiding from our … Continue reading →

Lesson 9 I see nothing as it is now. He invites us to trust the Voice and let it tell you what anything is. For example if I ruined a blouse in the wash and my wife gets angry: one … Continue reading →

Lesson 9 My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. He begins here to lay the groundwork for allowing The Holy Spirit to think for us. It was very hard for me to accept that the human mind doesn’t “think at … Continue reading →
