    Together for The Grand Unification

    And the world will live as one” is the last line of the song. I have a hard time making it through “And the Wo-oOo-rld” without my voice breaking. This song was my go-to comfort as a little boy. I could tuck myself under the shelf where the record player was and don the extra-large […]

    The Justice of God | ACIM Chapter 25

    The Christ in you (not Jesus) is bigger than your body, so you are not your body. You are bigger than your body. Once you discover the Christ Perspective you will see Christ everywhere except in bodies. Ego-body is the only thing that believes in sickness. This is the thrust of the introduction to Chapter […]

  • The Christ in You!

    The Christ in You!

    My dad and I read from A Course in Miracles main text every morning. This morning we were on Ch. 24 Section V: The Christ in you. Jesus discusses why The Christ in you is still. He dwells in you and loves from deep within to set you free. You are one with the Christ […]

  • Specialness vs. Sinlessness

    Specialness vs. Sinlessness

    Specialness is a lack of trust in anyone except yourself. Faith is invested in yourself alone. Everything else becomes your enemy; feared and attacked, deadly and dangerous, hated and worthy only of destruction. In the Course in Miracles, Chapter 24 (The Goal of Specialness), Section IV (Specialness versus Sinlessness), Jesus discusses why specialness breeds distrust. […]

  • Rising above the Battleground

    A Course in Miracles is about helping us change our perspective. Most of our life up until about our 40s we see life through the lense of our ego. The Ego is our identity, it’s our mental construct that defines and limits who we think we are. We learn this when through the process of […]

  • The Laws of Chaos

    The Laws of Chaos

    This is the part of A Course in Miracles that shows us it knows the (little-r) reality we live in. This is hard to imagine as we read through some of the descriptions of the (big-r) Reality we read about in ACIM. Chapter 23 is about the war against ourselves. We are constantly at this […]

  • The Quiet Mind Remembers God

    The Quiet Mind Remembers God

    A Course In Miracles reminds us often of the path to hearing the Holy Spirit within us. The Quiet Voice of God. Jesus calls it brother, and it’s just another aspect of the all encompassing Mind of God. It took a lot of walking on my spiritual path before I even realized that the words […]

    The Fight is Over

    We are almost 2 weeks into protesting so that all people will be treated fairly, however, we are in the middle of the largest pandemic of the last 100 years. Most would say it’s the time to fight hardest. This overlooks the humanity that we are fighting for. If we don’t start to see that […]

  • My ACIM for Dummies playlist

    My dad and I talk every morning. We’ve been discussing spiritual growth since I was little. We started at Church, learned from 12-step groups, and “graduated” to A Course in Miracles in the late ’90s. A couple of months ago I started recording our morning Zoom sessions. We usually talk for a couple of hours, […]

  • Reality vs. reality

    Reality vs. reality

    If we saw with our eyes and took it at face value we might see Reality. However, our perspective and experience shape our reality. These might seem like conflicting statements, however, they are two sides to a coin. Life is lived through our experience of existing and making choices about our actions. Our reality is […]

    For Dummies Helps Peel the Onion

    We’ve shifted books. After a little more than a year using the 3rd edition of A Course In Miracles and reading through the Text, my dad and I still struggled to determine the target of some articles. (Does this “it” mean God or which other phrases from the past page?) We wanted additional depth. In […]

    Don’t Limit God’s Gift

    A Course in Miracles says: 4The Oneness of the Creator and the creation is your wholeness, your sanity, and your limitless power. this limitless power is God’s gift to you because it is what you are.6 If you dissociate your mind from it you are perceiving the most powerful force in the universe as it […]

    Know Thyself to be True to Your Self

    “To thine own self be true,” says Polonius in Hamlet. Inspired by the motto inscribed on the frontispiece of the Temple of Delphi. Socrates was known to quote it, but his student Plato employed the maxim ‘Know Thyself’ in six of his main teachings. KNOW THYSELF! inscribed in the courtyard at the Delphian temple There […]

    Defenselessness

    I was pleasantly surprised and presently went looking for images for this Defenselessness theme. There were a plethora of images that were ACIM themed. it makes me feel like this way of thinking taught in ACIM is spreading and growing. In the Manual for Teachers Jesus describes how we can be set free by our […]

    Mighty Companions

    This morning I was reading in A Course In Miracles Manual For Teachers. There’s a section at the very beginning on page 10. It’s a funny section because it’s denoted with a letter, the letter A. It’s the only place in the book that they have a section enumerated with a letter. As I was […]

    De Fuddler on the Roof

    Being a Fiddler on the Roof puts you in a very precarious position requiring care and rest to stay in balance, like a tightrope walker in the middle of his traverse. Befuddlement is much the same. In The Gaslighting of America, a conservative pundit from Fox News describes how Trump manipulates the truth with offensive […]
