Creation's gentleness is all I see. I have indeed misunderstood the world, because I laid my sins on it and saw them looking back at me. How fierce they seemed! And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world, instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world. What is reflected there is in God's Mind. The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God's. And so I can perceive creation's gentleness. In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your Thoughts, and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation's gentleness.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 265

I am surrounded by the Love of God. Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no Source but This, and nothing is that does not share Its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love. My brothers, join with me in this today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us?- - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 264

My holy vision sees all things as pure. Father, Your Mind created all that is, Your Spirit entered into it, Your Love gave life to it. And would I look upon what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not perceive such dark and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my choice, instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed creation; all its purity, its joy, and its eternal, quiet home in You. And while we still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on all we see through holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to us, that we may pass them by in innocence, and walk together to our Father's house as brothers and the holy Sons of God.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 263

Let me perceive no differences today. Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as one? Why should I give this one a thousand names, when only one suffices? For Your Son must bear Your Name, for You created him. Let me not see him as a stranger to his Father, nor as stranger to myself. For he is part of me and I of him, and we are part of You Who are our Source, eternally united in Your Love; eternally the holy Son of God. We who are one would recognize this day the truth about ourselves. We would come home, and rest in unity. For there is peace, and nowhere else can peace be sought and found. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 262

What is the Body? The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self from other parts. It is within this fence he thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love. Identifying with his safety, he regards himself as what his safety is. How else could he be certain he remains within the body, keeping love outside? The body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double safety. For the Son of God's impermanence is "proof" his fences work, and do the task his mind assigns to them. For if his oneness still remained untouched, who could attack and who could be attacked? Who could be victor? Who could be his prey? Who could be victim? Who the murderer? And if he did not die, what "proof" is there that God's eternal Son can be destroyed? The body is a dream. Like other dreams it sometimes seems to picture happiness, but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose that the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for. The body is the means by which God's Son returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother, and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill. You will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth, and not in lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with love, and you are safe. Identify with love, and you are home. Identify with love, and find your Self.God is my refuge and security. I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there will I remember Who I really am. Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self.Jesus Christ in A Course in MiraclesWorkbook Part II, What is the body?Lesson 261

Let me remember God created me. Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I did. Yet, as Your Thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of Who created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today. Now is our Source remembered, and Therein we find our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we, because our Source can know no sin. And we who are His Sons are like each other, and alike to Him.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 260

Let me remember that there is no sin. Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unattainable. What else could blind us to the obvious, and make the strange and the distorted seem more clear? What else but sin engenders our attacks? What else but sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering? And what but sin could be the source of fear, obscuring God's creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack? Father, I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of love, nor seek for refuge in its opposite. For love can have no opposite. You are the Source of everything there is. And everything that is remains with You, and You with it.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 259

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the idea of "Where to go for protection?". The ego has its answer directing you to it and offering you to forget the question and settle for solutions in the world that keep your identity focused on the body and therefore on sin. The Holy Spirit directs you to your Source and true Identity, remembering that God created you and everyone, and that all protection can only be found in HIM. ◊ We are sharing A Course in Miracles as given in in the Notes correlating with — chapter 4-VII.-1- of the Complete & Annotated Edition, published in FIP-Edition as chapter 4–V-1- end, and parts of the daily Lessons 252-253 of the Workbook — ACIM-Reflections (87) with Devavan.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJR3PSTYChA

Let me remember that my goal is God. All that is needful is to train our minds to overlook all little senseless aims, and to remember that our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by our pointless little goals which offer nothing, and do not exist. Shall we continue to allow God's grace to shine in unawareness, while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought instead? God is our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to remember Him. Our goal is but to follow in the way that leads to You. We have no goal but this. What could we want but to remember You? What could we seek but our Identity?- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 258

Think of a difficult person in your life.  Now, think of them as an Avatar (ie, a manifestation of an idea).  If your idea happens to be  "I'm not good enough", you can be sure that this Avatar will reflect that idea back at you, until you work through it and learn the Truth, which is "I am whole.  I am Love".  Chris and Amy have a good talk about how this perspective can give us yet another way to see where we are misaligned, and forgive.  It is a jumping-off point to help discuss ACIM's text discussing the self-accused and the tendency to condemn others and ourselves.

Let me remember what my purpose is. If I forget my goal I can be but confused, unsure of what I am, and thus conflicted in my actions. No one can serve contradicting goals and serve them well. Nor can he function without deep distress and great depression. Let us therefore be determined to remember what we want today, that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully, and achieve only what God would have us do this day. Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let us not forget today that we can have no will but Yours. And thus our purpose must be Yours as well, if we would reach the peace You will for us.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 257

God is the only goal I have today. The way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find the way to where you are? Who would still be uncertain? Who could be unsure of who he is? And who would yet remain asleep, in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last. And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice, and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles. Lesson 256

ACIM invites us to look at the hidden ways we perpetuate persecution, attack, and lack. The ego values, reviles, and perpetuates persecution. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can identify the hidden patterns of persecution and root out the negative effects. A Course in Miracles shows us how to identify the patterns that block the flow of love and joy in our heart. In this week's episode, Jennifer shows us how to recognize the hidden patterns of persecution. Each week, Jennifer offers helpful tips and clear tools to aid us in a practical application of spiritual principle in order to truly live A Course in Miracles. Now is the time for us to choose to walk the talk and live the love in our daily lives!

This day I choose to spend in perfect peace. It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace today. And yet, my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God's Son can have no cares, and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. In His Name, I give today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine, and giving it to all my Father's Sons, along with me. And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend today.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 255

Regardless of your political views, the fact that arguably the most well-known teacher of A Course in Miracles is running for president of the United States is big news. In this interview, Emily and Robert Perry talk with Marianne Williamson about the state of her presidential campaign, how her Course practice has helped her in the race, how she has faced marginalization and backlash, her response to the Course's original approval of the Four Freedoms from Franklin Roosevelt, and more. ______________________  spiritualawakening #spiritualpath #spiritualpodcasts #spirituality ______________________ We are here to help you with both the theory and application of what A Course In Miracles (ACIM) offers.

Let every voice but God's be still in me. Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence I would come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You today. Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are silent now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 254

My Self is ruler of the universe. It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire. What does not occur is what I do not want to happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has created me. You are the Self Whom You created Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your Will in perfect union with my own, which can but offer glad assent to Yours, that it may be extended to Itself. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 253

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the idea of "this need not be". He gives us examples of feelings, attitudes and behaviors to which we can apply this recognition. He invites us to just change the mind and give all the ego thoughts to him, and He will take care of it all. We share His words of assurance how He works with and in us, and that He is not mistaken. ◊ We are sharing A Course in Miracles as given in in the Notes correlating with — chapter 4-VI.-1- of the Complete & Annotated Edition, published in FIP-Edition as chapter 4–IV-1- , and parts of the daily Lessons 252-253 of the Workbook — ACIM-Reflections (86).YouTube: https://youtu.be/A4ahTNVQuQ0

The Son of God is my Identity. My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all things within it, in the calm of quiet certainty. Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the world, but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God! Father, You know my true Identity. Reveal It now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken to the truth in You, and know that Heaven is restored to me.- - Jesus Christ in A Course in MIracles, Lesson 252

What is Sin? Sin is insanity. It is the means by which the mind is driven mad, and seeks to let illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the truth should be, and where it really is. Sin gave the body eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold? What need have they of sights or sounds or touch? What would they hear or reach to grasp? What would they sense at all? To sense is not to know. And truth can be but filled with knowledge, and with nothing else. The body is the instrument the mind made in its efforts to deceive itself. Its purpose is to strive. Yet can the goal of striving change. And now the body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for now is chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement for the goal of self-deception. Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what is true. Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand for things imagined, issuing from thoughts that are untrue. They are the "proof" that what has no reality is real. Sin "proves" God's Son is evil; timelessness must have an end; eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and peace to be no more. A madman's dreams are frightening, and sin appears indeed to terrify. And yet what sin perceives is but a childish game. The Son of God may play he has become a body, prey to evil and to guilt, with but a little life that ends in death. But all the while his Father shines on him, and loves him with an everlasting Love which his pretenses cannot change at all. How long, O Son of God, will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children's toys? How soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven back? How long, O holy Son of God, how long? . I am in need of nothing but the truth. I sought for many things, and found despair. Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I need, and only what I need. All that I sought before I needed not, and did not even want. My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I need only truth. In that all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled and dreams are gone. Now have I everything that I could need. Now have I everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at peace. And for that peace, our Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really want.Jesus Christ in A Course in MIraclesWorkbook Part II, What is Sin?Lesson 251

Today we're talking about Trauma. All kinds and sizes. When a hurtful past event stays with us and continues to challenge our sense of peace and happiness, this is where ACIM can be invaluable because of what it teaches on this subject.  Chris and Amy discuss how it doesn't matter what size of trauma we carry with us, we need to give ourselves and others the compassion that we need in order to heal and know we are safe in the present.

Let me not see myself as limited. Let me behold the Son of God today, and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure the holy light in him, and see his strength diminished and reduced to frailty; nor perceive the lacks in him with which I would attack his sovereignty. He is Your Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him so I see myself. Today I would see truly, that this day I may at last identify with him.- Jesus Christ in A Course in MIracles, Lesson 250

Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss. Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity and endless giving. It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the light that it reflects. And so the journey which the Son of God began has ended in the light from which he came. Father, we would return our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You created us. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 249

Whatever suffers is not part of me. I have disowned the truth. Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever suffers is not part of me. What grieves is not myself. What is in pain is but illusion in my mind. What dies was never living in reality, and did but mock the truth about myself. Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and as he is. Father, my ancient love for You returns, and lets me love Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered, and my own. Now do I understand that they are one. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miacles, Lesson 248

We are sharing in this episode in a direct meeting with Master Teacher the first part of the video presentation "A COURSE IN MIRACLES - The First 50 Lessons In Which We Recognize Our Creative Self Identity", in which he offers us the teaching of Christ Jesus in the demonstration of the value of the first 50 lessons, in this demonstration of part 1 of this video hour the first 15 lessons of the Workbook of ACIM. We are looking at the value of overcoming the resistance to the freedom of sight and experience that comes with it. ◊ We are using Part 1 of the Master Teacher's video CMT-01 of the Cellular Mind Training Series, -- A COURSE IN MIRACLES - The First 50 Lessons In Which We Recognize Our Creative Self Identity --- https://themasterteacher.tv/video/catalogue/volume-two/the-cellular-mind-training-series/CMT-01, with the first 15 lessons, review ls. 51-53.YouTube: https://youtu.be/q_oT6Fy-3sY

When God calls, what do you do? In this special episode, we shed light on this age-old question through the story of Emily's own journey. We follow her from corporate girl to entrepreneur teaching mindful leadership and women's leadership, to A Course in Miracles author, to executive director of one of the oldest Course organizations. As Robert interviews her, we see Emily's career riding the wave of the popularity of mindfulness until God suddenly seems to call her in a dramatic and persistent way. Learn what she did in response to that call and the difference her decision has made. And hear her and Robert discuss the takeaways this story has for the rest of us. For as A Course in Miracles says, “All are called, but few choose to listen.” ____________________ We are here to help you with both the theory and application of what A Course In Miracles (ACIM) offers.

Without forgiveness I will still be blind. Sin is the symbol of attack. Behold it anywhere, and I will suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ's vision comes to me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as the simple truth, and I am healed completely. Brother, come and let me look on you. Your loveliness reflects my own. Your sinlessness is mine. You stand forgiven, and I stand with you. So would I look on everyone today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them, and gave them all to me as part of You, and my own Self as well. Today I honor You through them, and thus I hope this day to recognize my Self.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miacles, Lesson 247

To love my Father is to love His Son. Let me not think that I can find the way to God, if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to hurt God's Son, and think that I can know his Father or my Self. Let me not fail to recognize myself, and still believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me, and all the love which I return to Him. I will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed, because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well, and only that. And so I choose to love Your Son. Amen. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miacles, Lesson 246

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the idea of what has been given us by HIM in Creation, what we already Are and Have. Sight was made to lead away from truth, but the appointed Guide has shown us a new purpose in all we see, hear and do. God has given us Everything. It's up to us, individually, to not forget that Peace is with us, and that we come to recognize our one Self. ◊ We are sharing A Course in Miracles as given in in the Notes correlating with — chapter 4-V.-16-end of the Complete & Annotated Edition, published in FIP-Edition as chapter 4–III-9-end., and parts of the Intro to the daily Lessons 241- 250 of the Workbook — ACIM-Reflections (85).YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UbeLQoEyTQ

Your Peace is with me, Father. I am safe. Your Peace surrounds me, Father. Where I go, Your Peace goes there with me. It sheds its light on everyone I meet. I bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I give Your Peace to those who suffer pain, or grieve for loss, or think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my Father. Let me bring Your Peace with me. For I would save Your Son, as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize my Self. And so we go in peace. To all the world we give the message that we have received. And thus we come to hear the Voice for God, Who speaks to us as we relate His Word; Whose Love we recognize because we share the Word that He has given unto us.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 245

I am in danger nowhere in the world. Your Son is safe wherever he may be, for You are there with him. He need but call upon Your Name, and he will recollect his safety and Your Love, for they are one. How can he fear or doubt or fail to know he cannot suffer, be endangered, or experience unhappiness, when he belongs to You, beloved and loving, in the safety of Your Fatherly embrace? And there we are in truth. No storms can come into the hallowed haven of our home. In God we are secure. For what can come to threaten God Himself, or make afraid what will forever be a part of Him?- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 244

Today I will judge nothing that occurs. I will be honest with myself today. I will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from bits of my perception, which are all that I can see. Today I recognize that this is so. And so I am relieved of judgments that I cannot make. Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as God created us. Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of us as one. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 243

This day is God's. It is my gift to Him. I will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world, and so to try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness. But there is One Who knows all that is best for me. And He is glad to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. I give this day to Him, for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He Who knows the way to God. And so we give today to You. We come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we want. Give us what You would have received by us. You know all our desires and our wants. And You will give us everything we need in helping us to find the way to You.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 242

We are sharing in this episode in a direct meeting with Master Teacher the first part of the video presentation "Jesus Is Back With Us Right Here And Now - In Which We Continue Our Creative Self-Identity", in which he offers us the teaching of Christ Jesus in the demonstration of coming from the crucifixion of the body - as demonstrated in Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion of Christ" to the resurrection and perfect single Body Identity. We are lovingly guided to forgiveness and the importance of the mind training of ACIM that has become the essential basis for this complete transformation of the human being. ◊ We are using Part 1 of the Master Teacher's video CMT-06a Episode I of the Cellular Mind Training Series, -- Jesus Is Back With Us Right Here And Now - In Which We Continue Our Creative Self-Identity --- https://themasterteacher.tv/video/catalogue/volume-two/the-cellular-mind-training-series/CMT-06a, with parts of the "Out-of-Time"-Journal, To the Students of ACIM YouTube: https://youtu.be/B5Sshc95qS8

What is the World? The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness, will the world be seen in quite another light; and one which leads to truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well. The world was made as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's absence? Thus the world was meant to be a place where God could enter not, and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes become quite possible, for certainty has gone. The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. And now they go to find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the world was made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report is but illusion which is kept apart from truth. As sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call of God, and all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His Light, and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away, but Heaven has preserved for you in Him. Let us not rest content until the world has joined our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has been made complete. And let us not attempt to change our function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die can be restored to everlasting life. . This holy instant is salvation come. What joy there is today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They will be united now, as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you today. We have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one.Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles,Workbook Part II, What is the world?Lesson 241

Fear is not justified in any form. Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as you could never be, and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Sons of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself. How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son, and set him free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness, and feel the love for him which is Your Own as well. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 240

The glory of my Father is my own. Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him? We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it, because You share it with us. We are one, united in this light and one with You, at peace with all creation and ourselves.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 239

On my decision all salvation rests. Father, Your trust in me has been so great, I must be worthy. You created me, and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son's salvation in my hands, and let it rest on my decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that he is safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine, because He is my Self. And so, again today, we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete in him.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 238

Now would I be as God created Me. Today I will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory, and allow the light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation which I hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the world that Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream of death; aware it is my Father's call to me. !Christ is my eyes today, and He the ears that listen to the Voice for God today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son, and my true Self as well. Amen. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 237

I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.I have a kingdom I must rule. At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think, and what to do and feel. And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve. Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the Will of God. Father, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind, and offer it to You. Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 236

God in His mercy wills that I be saved. I need but look upon all things that seem to hurt me, and with perfect certainty assure myself, "God wills that I be saved from this," and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in mind my Father's Will for me is only happiness, to find that only happiness has come to me. And I need but remember that God's Love surrounds His Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect, to be sure that I am saved and safe forever in His Arms. I am the Son He loves. And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so. Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love created me, and made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no guilt nor sin in me, for there is none in You.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 235

Father, today I am Your Son again. Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone, and we have reached the holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness. So brief the interval there was no lapse in continuity, nor break in thoughts which are forever unified as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true today. We thank You, Father, that we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We recognize our safety, and give thanks for all the gifts You have bestowed on us, for all the loving help we have received, for Your eternal patience, and the Word which You have given us that we are saved. - Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 234

I give my life to God to guide today. Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your Own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your perfect gift to me. Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 233

All of us cope with grief and loss. We can't just try to sweep it under the rug. We need to face the reality of the loss. Or do we? A Course in Miracles has a very different approach to grief than the conventional one. It's not denial, but it does bring to bear a different view of what is real. If you have wondered how to deal with your own grief, join Robert and Emily for a wide-ranging conversation that covers stories of bereavement, the nature of death, near-death experiences, after-death communication, and more. Most importantly, the conversation is rooted in the Course's references to grief and loss, which contain a whole other way to look at this topic that so personally affects us all. ______________________ We are here to help you with both the theory and application of what A Course In Miracles (ACIM) offers.

Be in my mind, my Father, through the day.Be in my mind, my Father, when I wake, and shine on me throughout the day today. Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And let me not forget my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me, and always will be there to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes, let all my thoughts be still of You and of Your Love. And let me sleep sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and happily aware I am Your Son. This is as every day should be. Today, practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your Father. Trust all things to Him. Let Him reveal all things to you, and be you undismayed because you are His Son.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 232

What is Salvation? Salvation is a promise, made by God, that you would find your way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as well. God's Word is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts, and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the Thought of peace. The Thought of peace was given to God's Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need for such a Thought before, for peace was given without opposite, and merely was. But when the mind is split there is a need of healing. So the Thought that has the power to heal the split became a part of every fragment of the mind that still was one, but failed to recognize its oneness. Now it did not know itself, and thought its own Identity was lost. Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. And what they hid is now revealed; an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it, and the memory of God not far behind. Let us come daily to this holy place, and spend a while together. Here we share our final dream. It is a dream in which there is no sorrow, for it holds a hint of all the glory given us by God. The grass is pushing through the soil, the trees are budding now, and birds have come to live within their branches. Earth is being born again in new perspective. Night has gone, and we have come together in the light. From here we give salvation to the world, for it is here salvation was received. The song of our rejoicing is the call to all the world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and God's Son has but an instant more to wait until his Father is remembered, dreams are done, eternity has shined away the world, and only Heaven now exists at all.Father, I will but to remember You.What can I seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else; a something I have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek, or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the truth about myself? This is your will, my brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One as well Who is our Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it will be given us to find.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles- Workbook Part II, What is salvation?- Lesson 231

Anger is a mental habit. Coping with anger is a long and winding road filled with suffering. What the ego-identified don't know is that the root causes of anger are in the mind and not in the world. We're NEVER upset for the reason we think until we understand the real reason we're upset. Managing and coping are the strategies we use when we feel small and separate. In this episode, Jennifer shares the teachings of ACIM that helped her to truly transform the patterns of anger and heal them back to the root. We can live in Peace and Harmony with ourselves and with everyone else. To learn more about A Course in Miracles please visit JenniferHadley.com.
