    Thomas Bruder grew up with A Course in Miracles. One of his challenges was debilitating anxiety. Jackie and Thomas discuss his journey of practicing advanced forgiveness and what inspired his book Love Source Joy: Mystic Hymns and Sonnets. Two of his favorite key ideas are: 1. God is love. Anything not love is not God. 2. Forgiveness can connect us back to God. Jackie and Thomas share what helps them stay centered and share the way they remember our oneness. Join us for a powerful discussion on the power of taking responsibility of looking at one's life through right-minded perception, even in the most challenging times!

    What is Death? With Guest Bruce Rawles

    Do we ever really die? What is the ego's interpretation of death vs. the Holy Spirit's? Join us for a powerful discussion about the eternal unchangeable truth about our real life in Heaven. "Death is the central dream from which all illusions stem. ²Is it not madness to think of life as being born, aging, losing vitality, and dying in the end?" (ACIM, M-27.1:1-2) "The “reality” of death is firmly rooted in the belief that God's Son is a body. ²And if God created bodies, death would indeed be real. ³But God would not be loving." (ACIM, M-27.5:1-3) Pain, illness and eventually death, follow the choice for separation. Jackie and Bruce discuss ACIM's teaching that death of the physical body is part of the ego's thought system of death.  God did not create death. You are loved unconditionally and you are innocent. Join us for some powerful reminders! Love & blessings to all, Jackie Jackie online classes: jackielorajones.com Bruce's Website: AcimBlog.com

    Happy New Year Friends! Jackie and Cindy talk about A Course in Miracles' perspective on being "serious". Let's kick off the new year with some helpful reminders of our true nature as perfect Spirit! Together we are gently and kindly undoing our belief in separation and specialness. Reminder: "No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers his attack upon himself. ⁵No one believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body, and could never have conceived this world as real. ⁶He would have seen at once that these ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed away. ⁷How serious they now appear to be! ⁸And no one can remember when they would have met with laughter and with disbelief. ⁹We can remember this, if we but look directly at their cause. ¹⁰And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear." (ACIM, T-27.VIII.5:4-10) In 2022, let there be a new you! We'll focus on the "you" that is the dreaming mind; observing and choosing. Let's remember to look at cause and not effect. It is refreshing to live your holiness by remembering to choose the miracle and forgive instead of holding onto grievances, anger, anxiety, guilt and resentment. Join us to find out practical ways to undo the ego's silly projections and remember the truth! Many blessings for  joy-filled 2022 and beyond! Jackie's website & online classes: jackie.news

    Jackie and Bruce discuss how the crucifixion was not a form of punishment, but a teaching lesson from Jesus to show us that our identity is not the body. Resurrection is the awakening from the dream of death. Your resurrection is your reawakening. I am the model for rebirth, but rebirth itself is merely the dawning on your mind of what is already in it. God placed it there Himself, and so it is true forever. I believed in it, and therefore accepted it as true for me. Help me to teach it to our brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but first believe that it is true for you, or you will teach amiss. My brothers slept during the so-called “agony in the garden,” but I could not be angry with them because I knew I could not be abandoned. (T-6.1.7:1-6) Do you want suffering or peace? Thorns or lilies? Grievances or miracles? Join us for this eye-opening discussion! Jackie's online classes: jackie.news

    With everything going on in "the world" today, Jackie and her guest, Bruce Rawles, highlight A Course in Miracles' reminder that we can choose to remember the Truth of What we are at any time, in any place, and when confronted with any situation. How can any of this mess be by our own decision? (we ask) As we follow Jesus as our internal teacher, he reminds us where these "horrific" images and experiences are coming from. We have the power to "choose again" when our triggers rear their ugly heads! We are taught to practically apply forgiveness in the world. The world events become our classroom in learning to go back to the mind and correct our mistaken belief in sin (separation). This gets into the radical nature of the Course's non-compromising message that only the Truth is true! Nothing else is true - the whole time-space dream of duality is of our own making as an effect of our choice for the ego. Jackie and Bruce discuss Lesson 152: The power of decision is my own.
