Most of the time, people consider themselves confined to their bodies. The body itself forms a barrier around their mind, shutting it in. The only place on the body where it seems the mind is 'visible' if you will, is...
We each, as spirit, are capable of manifesting any form that we like, and of showing up or appearing to take form in any particular form imaginable. We are not really confined to any one form and can change them...
Some important reminders and notes about why you are here and what your true calling is. I use this as a clarifying reminder to myself when I often forget...
Being the light of the world - your true calling - your...
Sometimes I am told to 'surrender', or 'relax', and to me this means I need to actively express a willingness to drop ego. Often this is when I'm laying in bed.
I will then repeat several times over and over, something...
When you perceive that something is 'wrong' with someone else, and that this wrongness does not apply to you, you are SEVERELY MENTALLY ILL.
When you perceive that what applies to another person, due to their apparent separate free will and...
It doesn't matter what you did or how bad it was, it is forgivable. People make mistakes. Sometimes mistakes seem very serious. Sometimes that seems to justify why should feel guilty. Presumably you hurt someone or did something 'wrong'. Well,...
What if when people in this world make a mistake, there is complete and total forgiveness and unconditional love?
If as a group we are to uphold a shared condition of peace, love and harmony, then we need to have 'shared...
What came to mind last night was:
"Nothing real can be threatened".
Now, its a popular statement from the beginning of ACIM. And maybe we just read it and skip past it.
But what does it mean?
I found that if I dwelled on...
Each time, and in each way, that we perceive that someone else is meant to change, that there is something wrong with them, that they have caused us to be upset or changed in any way whatsoever, or that anything...
If you are fully and completely responsible for yourself, for everything you feel, everything you experience, and every causality, then
1) You will not have any reactions because reactions require you to see yourself as a victim
2) You will not see...
When you believe that something outside of you is the cause of your problem or upset, your mind's perception will start to experience yourself as though part of your being has 'opened up' to the other person, has exposed itself...
"...I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him.
I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me."
In order for you to...
Whatever you're upset about, it's not about anyone else, NO MATTER how much it seems to be someone else's fault.
Where is the upset located? Is your upset inside someone else's body? No, it's inside your body.
All of your feelings are...
Sometimes you may not realize that you are being a victim, particularly if you are angry.
A person becomes angry as a reaction to the perception that something has happened to them that they didn't seem to choose.
The perception of things...
When you think of guidance you think of you being separate from the source of guidance - God, and attempting to receive some kind of communication. You hope at first to get any kind of communication at all, and later...
Real Love, is not like anything else in this world. Love, to be experienced, must be shared by all.
Love is a presence that exists everywhere and extends everywhere. It radiates. It flows. It overcomes all separations. It does not and...
Everything in the ego's mindset looks like one thing but is actually something completely opposite.
e.g.
What we call attack, is actually retreat.
God cannot be attacked. When you try to attack God, if you were to go punch God in the face,...
Choosing not to control anything, to me, feels just like a surrender.
I used to say several times, "I surrender". Particularly saying them in quick-succession so that my ego doesn't jump in with its distractions and objections.
But now I find, if...
For a while now I've been experiencing the Holy Spirit working in me quite actively to clear and heal my mind, emotions and body. And I've been unsure how this correlates with A Course in Miracles because I don't hear...

In fact, from God's vantage point, He...
