A little Bad Company reference in the title today, how do you like that? Great band, Paul Rogers has one of classic rock's best voices. The boys are back well over an hour once again, and still they manage to say absolutely nothing. I don't know how they do it, there is a bit of an art to it, I guess. Do you want some cool merch?

In this episode of, “Your Voice. Your Health”, we take a closer look at step therapy but this time through a financial lens. I sat down with Monica Bryant, Esq., Chief Mission Officer of Triage Cancer, to talk about how step therapy can create unexpected financial obstacles—from rising co-pays and delayed treatment to challenges with insurance coverage and staying employed during treatment in  your health plans, navigating appeals, and accessing financial aid. She also shares practical tips for choosing insurance plans, minimizing out-of-pocket costs, and using tools like Triage Cancer's new health insurance comparison calculator to make informed, cost-conscious decisions. If you or a loved one is facing treatment delays or financial stress related to step therapy, this episode offers clear, actionable guidance to help you take control. Special thanks to Amgen and Daiichi-Sankyo for making this episode possible.  

Hello from the LIGHT ABOVE!Last week, I participated in an AI Hackathon, making a personal vow not to quit halfway through.It was an incredibly challenging week, pushing me to create a single project within a tightly constrained timeframe.Yet, everything flowed, and I emerged with another incredible product.My struggle now lies in mustering the energy to promote and share it with the world.But then I had to ask myself: Is external promotion truly the ultimate point of creation?Youre solving a problem internally for others to capture and make their own lives "easier."Is that not enough?The lie we often tell ourselves is that every problem-solving creation must be "pushed" out into the world to attract an audience.However, there's a different perspective: you can always iterate and create, returning to a project later or concluding it when it feels right for you in that moment.Today, we're busting the myth of "embrace the push" and embracing a more organic, iterative approach to sharing our creations.In the end. I created a incredible solution to a BIG problem for spiritual change makers.TODAY we'll unpack why cranking out a bunch of imperfect stuff actually gets you closer to brilliance, why your obsession with “perfect” is a productivity trap, and how to kickstart your creative engine without the usual hand-wringing paralysis.Sound like the creative freedom you've been craving? Let's dive in.Prolific Creation: Your New Best FrenemyHere's the truth bomb: Research shows that the key to high-quality work isn't agonizing over one piece until it's perfect.It's producing a lot of work. Like, a lot.Why? Because:* Breakthrough ideas often arrive by accident. The more work you pump out, the higher your chance of hitting gold. It's basically creative Tinder — swipe right on lots of ideas, and eventually, one's going to be “the one.”* Practice makes masterful. The more you do something, the sharper you get. Those “quick and dirty” drafts? They're your creative gym.* Perfection is a moving target. Chasing it nonstop just leads to burnout and frustration. Instead, treat “done” as your new BFF and polish later.This is why I developed the Magnetia SEO GLOW Guide: a practical system that gets those ideas from your brain onto the page fast and frequently, without the perfectionism roadblock.Instead of “embracing imperfection” like it's some consolation prize, this method makes deliberate speed and quantity your secret weapons.How This Changes The Game For YouHere's the kicker: producing prolifically doesn't mean your work ends up “meh.” No way. It means:* You get better each time, so your quick efforts become genuinely excellent over time.* Your creative breakthroughs, which often outshine presentation, come more often.* You have raw material to tweak and polish quickly — upping your content's impact without the paralysis of starting from scratch.So, if you're stuck in the “perfect or bust” loop, try shifting to “done, then better.”THE REAL SOLUTION: PROLIFIC CREATIONThere's actual research about what produces high-quality work, and it's not endless fiddling and overthinking ONE project.It's quantity.1) Producing frequently increases the chance that you'll have a breakthrough idea (they often happen by chance, so the more chances you take, the more likely it is)2) Producing frequently sharpens your chops. You get good at something by doing it A LOT INTRODUCING: THE MAGNETIA SEO GLOW GUIDEThe Magnetia process transforms your content creation process by:- Breaking the perfectionism cycle and bring clarity to what you wish to share with the world.- Turning your expertise into SEO-friendly language that actually converts- Giving you a repeatable system for prolific content creation by keeping YOUR VOICE - just more clarity. THE PROLIFIC ADVANTAGEBut even though "done is better than perfect" is our mantra, your end work does NOT end up being mediocre, for three reasons:1) You get better and better the more you produce, so your 'quick work' becomes quite excellent2) You have more breakthrough ideas, and the quality of an idea will often outshine its presentation3) Once you've got *something* to work with, you can refine and polish it (quickly, usually) into something that jumps up a few levels in excellenceThe Magnetia SEO GLOW Guide leverages deliberate speed and frequency to produce influential work that actually ranks and converts.Stop letting perfectionism keep your genius trapped in your head. Start creating prolifically with a system designed for real results.Magnetica is waiting for you, pop on over for a free assessment HERE!The Light Between is a reader-supported publication.

ELEVEN voicemails? Well, that's what they get for putting it off last week. You can't let these things sit. Doug acts like they're going to go stale, but Strickland seems to know better. Voicemails will NEVER get old, and that means, if you don't listen to them, they'll just fester. They knaw at you and don't let up until they get played. So if you skip them one week, then the next, then the next, it'll be like that Stephen King novel with the car, you may try to step away, but they'll find you. Voice mails are left to be PLAYED! YOU CAN'T NOT PLAY THEM!!!! Sorry about that, I think the mushrooms are starting to kick in now, so I should probably wrap this up. Anyway- 11 voicemails, other rambling, references to old TV shows, etc, etc.Do you want some cool merch? Check out the store here- https://www.niceguysonbusiness.com/merch Need podcast production?

Read OnlineOn that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables… Matthew 13:1–3Why did Jesus speak in parables? In today's Gospel, Jesus goes on to teach the familiar “Parable of the Sower.” Immediately after that parable in today's Gospel, the disciples do ask Jesus this question. They ask, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” Jesus responds to them, “Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.” So why is that?First of all, a story is easy to listen to. It keeps our attention and is easily remembered. In the “Parable of the Sower” that we hear today, Jesus explains that the seed sown by the sower falls either on the path, on rocky ground, among thorns, or on rich soil. This is a very visible description that will lead people to conclusions right away. Everyone knows that the ideal place for seed to be sown is rich soil. And everyone knows that the seed sown on the path, rocky ground and among thorns has little hope of producing fruit. Therefore, this parable easily draws the listener in so as to understand some basic lessons.With that said, this story will only become a parable if the deeper lesson is learned. Clearly, Jesus wanted the crowd to understand that they will only understand the mysteries He is teaching them if they are like the rich soil. And He also wanted them to understand that much of what He was teaching them was not falling on rich soil in their hearts.This parable, as well as all of Jesus' parables, has the effect of causing the listener to think. Thinking leads to what we may term a holy curiosity. And this holy curiosity will begin to produce the rich soil that was needed within them so as to open the door to the deeper mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.How does Jesus speak to you? Are you able to listen to Jesus speak directly to you, in prayer, so as to reveal to you the deepest mysteries of Heaven? When God speaks to you, in prayer and meditation, does the seed of His Word take root in your very soul? Does His gentle, quiet but transforming Voice communicate to you Who He is and what His will is for your life? If not, then parables are for you. And knowing that is an important discovery. Reflect, today, upon the desire of God to speak to you. If you do struggle with hearing the clear and profound Voice of God resonate within your soul, then do not be afraid to spend time with the many parables that Jesus told. Try to place yourself within the scene. See yourself as a participant. In today's parable, see your inner self as the field. Think about those things in your life that keep your soul from being rich soil. Allow this story of Jesus to speak to you. As you do, be attentive to God's Voice. Listen for Him and listen to Him. And as you do hear Him, know that the seed He has scattered has begun to reach that rich soil of your heart. My teaching Lord, You desire to speak to me and to reveal to me all that You are. Help me to hear Your Voice so that I will come to know You more. Make my heart truly fertile soil in which the seed of Your Word is sown, so that You can produce within me an abundance of good fruit.

The title should give you fair warning- The first hour of this episode is "Tool Time" all over again, but without Tim Allen, so not as funny (or perhaps more funny, depending on your perspective.) If you don't want to hear about Strickland's electrical issues, skip to around 56 minutes in or so. Hell, by that time, you should just skip the whole thing. Well, you could listen to at least a minute to give them a download count. It keeps them wondering who's actually listening. Do you want some cool merch?

    Our guest on today's show is Nathan Poirier and we discuss veganarchism.    Nathan Poirier is an independent scholar-activist who has edited or authored books that span topics like critical animal studies, veganarchism, non/human coexistence, and a forthcoming two-volume A6 set on black anarchism. Nathan is an ambassador for the Office of Empowerment (essentially the DEI organization) at Lansing Community College where Nathan is a full time math tutor. Nathan enjoys bringing people and causes together so that individuals can constructively challenge each other socially and intellectually to create a better world for all. It is Nathan's continuous goal to push their own boundaries as well as others' in terms of how critical, radical thought relates to everyday life. Preferring to be somewhat of an intellectual "jack of all trades", Nathan does not consider themselves an expert in anything and primarily hops between topics of intellectual inquiry (and back again) trying to learn a little bit of everything. This orientation fits in with and helped lead to their theorizing veganism and anarchism as the same thing - and together as a theory of everything.    Links:   Veganarchism: Against All Oppression, Everywhere, All The Time by Nathan Poirier https://www.activedistributionshop.org/product/vegananarchism-a6/  Veganarchism: Making Veganism and Anarchism Dangerous Again edited by Will Boisseau and Nathan Poirier https://www.activedistributionshop.org/product/vegananarchism/    Animal Liberation and Social Revolution by Brian Dominick https://www.activedistributionshop.org/product/animal-liberation-and-social-revolution/  Radical Companionship: Rejecting Pethood and Embracing our Multispecies World by Aiyana Goodfellow https://www.activedistributionshop.org/product/radical-companionship-a6/  Innocence and Corruption: an Abolitionist Understanding of Youth Oppression by Aiyana Goodfellow https://www.activedistributionshop.org/product/innocence-and-corruption/  All of these great books can be ordered via Active Distribution UK https://www.activedistributionshop.org/  The artist for Veganarchism: Making Veganism and Anarchism Dangerous Again is Baba Yaga, on instagram @chooktoedhut The artist for Veganarchism: Against All Oppression, Everywhere, All the Time, is Brett Colley, and their personal website: https://brettcolley.com/home.html  The music we played was by Everlast:   Stone in my Hand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uihjXLIBO4   KIll the Emperor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS9KDu0s3Xw   Letters Home from the Garden of Stone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNg8CEeXAFA       Please note that for copyright reasons we cannot include the songs played on the show in the podcast.

You want people to find your adorable little show, right? So, let's make sure they have a place to go when they ask, “Where's your podcast?” We dish out the wisdom on why having your own website is the best way to keep your podcast from going missing.

Read OnlineA woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter!  Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured. Matthew 9:20–21What a tremendous amount of faith this woman had! She had suffered for many years and continued to suffer with her hemorrhages. How did she know that touching Jesus' cloak would cure her? The only answer to that is faith. Faith is not just wishful thinking or hoping. Faith is a certain knowledge, given by a special grace and revelation from God, by which a person freely assents to belief. God spoke to her heart, she listened, she responded, and she was cured.One thing that is very inspiring in this Gospel story is the humility with which this woman approached Jesus. She didn't feel as though she needed to bother Jesus, to speak to Him, or to trouble Him with her problem. Instead, in her humility, she presented her need to Jesus through her gift of faith, interiorly and silently, and the grace of God was given her because God sees the heart and responds to such humble and sincere faith.Imagine if everyone had this depth of faith in our Lord. Imagine if all of us knew, with the deepest conviction of certitude, that God would take care of every need we have. And imagine if we turned to our Lord with this deep conviction of certitude every day with every need. If we could do that, then our Lord would be able to continually care for us in every way.One key component to this woman's healing is that it was God the Father who spoke to her and invited her to touch the cloak of His Son Jesus. And it was Jesus who sensed the healing she received, since He was in perfect union with the will of His Father. Therefore, touching Jesus' cloak was not simply a magical act by which whatever this woman wanted would be granted to her. Instead, it was a response to the interior invitation she was given by the Father.In our lives, we must work to do the same. Too often we present our preferences to God and tell Him what we want Him to do. God does not respond to such requests. Instead, we must seek His will...and His will alone. This woman knew she would be healed, because God the Father spoke to her in her mind and heart and inspired her to touch the cloak of Jesus His Son, and she responded, and the healing took place. God must speak first, we must hear and respond, and then His will is accomplished. Reflect, today, upon the gentle Voice of God as He speaks to you in the depths of your heart. Do you hear Him? What is He inviting you to do? What healing does He want to bestow? As you ponder God's Voice, try to respond only to Him. Set aside all of your own preferences and ideas of what God should do and seek only what He is speaking to you. Say “Yes” to Him, do so with certitude and conviction, and trust that whatever He speaks to you, if you have faith in what He says, He will do it. My gentle Lord, You speak to me day and night, calling me to the healing I need. Help me to hear Your Voice and to respond to You in faith. May my faith and confidence in You grow strong and become the source of Your glorious action in my life. Jesus, I do trust in You.Image: Internet Archive Book Images, No restrictions, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

To all 308 of you, Welcome to this small (yet supportive) ‘Your Voice' community!!

A long time CBC Radio stalwart has left the ranks of the Nahanni Fontaine fan club and has called for the NDP Government House Leader to resign her portfolio as Minister for Accessibility. Episode 32 has the details of Kim Wheeler's very personal analysis of Fontaine's twisted apology to the Deaf and hard of hearing community. Part 1- A recap of our most recent columns in the Winnipeg Sun: RBC abandons West End customers https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-rbc-abandons-west-end-customersSt. Boniface Church threatened by bike lane getsunlikely champion (check the postscript below for late-breaking news about it)https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-st-boniface-church-threatened-by-bike-lane-gets-unlikely-champion8.10 Part 2- Even before she entered politics, Nahanni Fontaine expressed prejudice towards white people and made excuses for aboriginal gang culture. As an NDP government advisor she demeaned domestic violence shelter supporters, and even after election to the Legislature, Fontaine concealed her name change for years until we uncovered it. Now she's exposed her nasty disposition after insulting an interpreter translating her speech to indigenous graduates, for daring to be in her line of sight.We set the scene of a government organized ceremony to celebrate the academic achievement of her indigenous 'sisters', and how APTN bravely told the public about Fontaine's post-speech tantrum about being "thrown off" because "the woman shouldn't have been on the stage."Hear the experience of a parent at the event who saw that the interpreter was removed after Fontaine's tirade: "When you disrespect the interpreter, you disrespect the Deaf community."After the APTN broadcast, the St. John's MLA gave an apology made up of word salad and BS. You'll hear how this isn't the first time Fontaine has claimed objectionable comments she was party to were somehow "private".18.00 Free Press columnist Dan Lett tried to help the embattled Fontaine off the hook, claiming demands for her to quit were coming only from the opposition PCs. Portraying her Families Minister portfolio in Wab Kinew's government as minor and her stint as being "low-key", Lett ignored her self-promoting TikTok branding and her ongoing support for Hamas and anti-Zionist canards. Lett called her remarks "ill-advised." But as Kim Wheeler pointed out, there was no advice involved. This was Fontaine, being herself. "The other side is calling the minister to account. And they should. It was behaviour unbecoming an MLA and the Minister Responsible for Accessibility. It is ableist. And if she is comfortable saying this at a public event, what does she say behind closed doors?"As the mother of a Deaf daughter, and friends with a similar family at the ceremony, Wheeler posted that "Nahanni Fontaine must be held to account. She should resign her portfolio as Minister Responsible for Accessibility."In front of the most favourable hometown crowd possible, Nahanni Fontaine couldn't keep her ego in check. We have all the details, with some additional insight. We know what Wade Williams would say.32.15 Part 3 - The Season Six campaign is closing in on $2000, as we drive towards the $10k target.Marty tells how you can contribute towards making sure the costs of being Your Voice are met so we can continue holding City Hall, the Manitoba NDP government, bureaucracies and institutions - and the local media - accountable to you, your family and your community.For more details or to send an E-Transfer- email martygoldlive@gmail.com*****Post production Postscript- Not so fast, Bike Lobby.We learned that St. Boniface Councillor Matt Allard has sent a letter to the Public Works committee asking for the 'Moving on Marion' project to be put on hold until he has a chance to ensure the Norwood Grove Biz, the Church at 380 Marion, and the area residents can have a proper say in the plan. WE GET RESULTS!

Join me, Tammy Roche, for another Episode of Social Worker in Private Practice. I chat all things private practice: the biz and a bit of life. In this episode, I'm talking about Your Voice. In a world full of noise... opinions, expectations, and advice - it's easy to lose track of your own voice. Especially in private practice, where there's no shortage of outside input about how you should be doing things. This episode is about tuning out the pressure and tuning in to yourself. Whether you've been second-guessing decisions, comparing your path to someone else's, or just feeling pulled in too many directions, this conversation is a reminder that your voice should be the loudest one in the room. It matters - and it's worth listening to. Also, this October I'll be participating in the 2025 Shitbox Rally - a movement-based fundraiser raising money for cancer council.

   Our guest on today's show is Ari, who returns for a follow up conversation on conflict in activist spaces and in community group settings.      Ari (they/them) is a community organiser, mediator and support worker who is passionate about exploring the transformative potential of generative conflict and accountability work. Working primarily in community organising settings, Ari believes that how we relate to each other directly impacts our political capacities, and that although large-scale political organising is vital, most change happens at the relational and community level. Their work is informed by abolitionist and transformative justice frameworks, which are ways of being and organising rooted in indigenous knowledge and BiPoc communities in which there have historically been other ways of dealing with conflict than the models white supremacy culture teaches us today. Authors and organisers who have inspired them greatly are Andrea Ritchie, adrienne maree brown, Mia Mingus, Mariame Kaba, Dean Spade and many more. When not organising workshops or supporting comrades in conflict resolution, they enjoy learning about generative somatics, dancing and moving their body and supporting community events. They grew up in Germany and are currently living on unceded Wurrendjeri Woi-Worrung Land.    Links:  Part 1 of our chat with Ari is here https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/ari-conflict-activist-spaces  A really helpful resource is the booklet Working with conflict in our groups: A guide for grassroots activists produced by Seeds for Change UK.

In this episode, I am talking about how sharing our stories can lead to deep healing. I reflect on my own journey of speaking out about my experiences, particularly around the challenges of dealing with teen substance abuse and the misconceptions I held about healing. I emphasize that many of us often feel the need to have everything perfectly aligned before we share our truths, but this mindset can block our healing process. I share a pivotal moment from my past when I realized that speaking about my struggles not only helped me feel less alone but also opened doors to healing I never anticipated.

Again, it happened again. A message that not only I needed to see, but that I have been reminded about it from different places. This time it came from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where this message was shared: “You will never hear another person's voice more than you hear your own. Be intentional about the way that you talk to yourself.”  It's an old saying that I have heard for a long time, but since I needed it as recently as this morning, I needed to share it with you. It's connected with - “talk to yourself rather than listen to yourself.”  Most of the time when I'm feeling down about things in life, I start listening to the critic inside of me, instead of the coach and cheerleader!  I know I need to continue to tap into that coach & cheerleader, without me having to wait for this quote coming back into my life.  It's something I know I need to do, want to do, and will do!!  How about you?  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Trish tackles birth fears head-on, helping mamas turn anxiety into confidence. With 80% of pregnant women feeling nervous and 20% facing tokophobia, birth fear is common—but you CAN overcome your birth fears and actually ENJOY your birth. Blame horror stories, dramatic movies, or a medical system that forgets birth is normal. Fear floods your body with cortisol, slowing labor and amping up pain, while oxytocin—the love hormone—takes a hit. Trish, a labor nurse who's delivered thousands of babies, says you've got the power to change that.Education is key: understanding labor stages and having plenty of tools, such as breathing and movement, can break the fear-tension-pain cycle. Studies show prepared mamas have shorter labors, fewer interventions, and even enjoy the experience—thanks to more oxytocin. You're strong, mama—your body was made for this. Tune into this episode for Trish's tips to overcome birth fears, grab her free workshop, and get ready to rock your birth!What You'll Learn:- Where birth fears come from (hint: not you!). - How fear slows labor—and how confidence speeds it up. - Why education and support are your superpowers.

In this episode, I continue the "Your Voice. Your Health" series with a powerful conversation about step therapy, healthcare disparities, and patient advocacy. I had the privilege of speaking with Jamil Rivers, a metastatic breast cancer thriver, nationally recognized advocate, and founder of The Chrysalis Initiative. We discuss Jamil's experience from her breast cancer diagnosis to her groundbreaking work in educating healthcare providers through her Cancer Curriculum, which is transforming cancer care and addressing inequities in treatment access. We explore the flaws in the healthcare system that step therapy exposes, and discuss trustworthy resources and tactics that can empower patients to advocate for themselves and seek the care they deserve. Listen now to be inspired by Jamil's story and gain important insights into improving cancer care for all. Special thanks to Amgen for making this episode possible.

Katy's new book 'I Know I Should Exercise, But... ' Presale View This Episode's Show Notes Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored Glasses Katy's Virtual Studio In recent years there has been significant backlash against the idea that posture is related to good health. Join biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram for a philosophical, historical and biological journey into the controversies around posture. Katy and Jeannette discuss whether posture is really a thing; is ‘good' posture important or does your body work just fine regardless of how you hold it? Have we simply inherited postural ideals that are remnants of cultural, social and political baggage? Katy and Jeannette tease this out by discussing definitions of posture, the history of postural ideals and the difficulty in relating pain to posture. They turn to extreme examples of posture and Katy's work in alignment to offer a more nuanced perspective on posture and physical experience in terms of load to tissues over time. Books & Articles MentionedThe Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S.

"Just because you haven't doesn't mean you can't." In the latest episode of the John Eades Podcast, John covers how to make 2025 your best year ever.  Define Your Personal Purpose To uncover a purpose that's bigger than a goal, one might ask: "What impact do I want to have on others or the world around me?" "What values and passions drive me to keep going even when things get tough?" "If I achieved all my goals, what would still feel missing or unfulfilled in my life?" For the sake of today, and at the beginning of the year, think about what you want to become this year? Come up With Your Faith Words Faith Words are a simple phrase you are going to carry with you in 2025.  It's more than one word, it's a a mantra that you need to carry you, to inspire you.   This is so critical because the words you say to yourself are the most important words you say.  Your Voice is valuable.   You can learn more about hosting an Accelerate Leadership Program in Your Company Here You can learn more about The Leadership Growth Plan Here

LESSON 358No Call To God Can Be Unheard Nor Left Unanswered.And Of This I Can Be Sure;His Answer Is The One I Really Want.You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really want. You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I want is what You offer me, in just the form You choose that it be mine. Let me remember all I do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering. But let me not forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is all.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 357Truth Answers Every Call We Make To God,Responding First With Miracles,And Then Returning Unto Us To Be Itself.Forgiveness, truth's reflection, tells me how to offer miracles, and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother; then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word, and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You, as You appointed that the way shall be:“Behold his sinlessness, and be you healed.”- Jesus Christ in ACIM

What Am I?I am God's Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His Love resides. I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.Our use for words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared. And thus you joined with me, so what I am are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in us.We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brother, and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past the gate of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth.Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice for God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds that join together as we bless the world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy.We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our hearts. And thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we came, and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God.LESSON 351My Sinless Brother Is My Guide To Peace.My Sinful Brother Is My Guide To Pain.And Which I Choose To See I Will Behold.Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 352Judgment And Love Are Opposites.From One Come All The Sorrows Of The WorldBut From The Other Comes The Peace Of God Himself.Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You have not left me comfortless. I have within me both the memory of You, and One Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity, and find in It the memory of You.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 340I Can Be Free Of Suffering Today.Father, I thank You for today, and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ's vision through forgiveness, and be free forever from all suffering. Thanks for today, my Father. I was born into this world but to achieve this day, and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the world he made, which is released along with him today.Be glad today! Be glad! There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today. Our Father has redeemed His Son this day. Not one of us but will be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 339I Will Receive Whatever I Request.No one desires pain. But he can think that pain is pleasure. No one would avoid his happiness. But he can think that joy is painful, threatening and dangerous. Everyone will receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed about the things he wants; the state he would attain. What can he then request that he would want when he receives it? He has asked for what will frighten him, and bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love.Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself, but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only Thoughts You share with me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
