A Course in Miracles: Review VI Introduction

Review VI:  Introduction Congratulations!  We have reached a significant milestone as we flow into Review VI.  In the last twenty lessons our focus has been on moving beyond words into spaciousness with the One Who leads us there.  From this place have we been shown our divine love, joy, gratitude, and freedom.  It has also been […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 200

Lesson 200 There is no peace except the peace of God.   Freedom has been our area of discussion over these last few Course lessons:  freedom from the body, our condemnation, and our future.  Since Review V, we have been shedding layer after layer, reaching the point of holding nothing but our holiness.  It has […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 199

Lesson 199 I am not a body.  I am free. Everything in the world points the realness of this body:  injury, illness, death, hunger, pain, etc.  The body can be the toughest concept to question on an inward journey.  Even thinking of the body as a mere concept can cause much alarm to one’s psyche. […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 198

Lesson 198 Only my condemnation injures me.   When we speak ill of or hurt another, we truly are only hurting ourselves.  There are many ways in which this happens. First, the strong feelings we have towards another, that move us to action, are only occurring in our own heads and bodies, wreaking havoc on our nervous […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 197

Lesson 197 It can be but my gratitude I earn. Who are you when no one is watching?  What do you become when life does not go your way?  What do you do when acts of service go unnoticed?  These are all questions that point us to areas where we may be wearing a “spiritual […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 196

Lesson 196 It can be but myself I crucify. In the process of liberation, we exercise our courage to investigate the array of “masks” that appear in our inner and outer world. As spiritual beings having a human experience this means we have privy to the wide range of experiences and emotions possible on the […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 195

Lesson 195 Love is the way I walk in gratitude. Gratitude is like grace; it “foreshadows Heaven” (ACIM Lesson 169 12:3).  It is the sweet recognition of our abundant gifts and the Oneness we share with our Creator.  If it were a gesture, it would be the “tipping of the hat,” acknowledging the perfection of […]

A Couse in Miracles: Lesson 194

Lesson 194 I place the future in the Hands of God. Beyond trust is mystery. The act of “trusting” still takes a bit of action on our part.   However, abiding in mystery is the art of witnessing, in spaciousness, how Love shall decide to be shown; how the formless decides to take form. As we […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 193

Lesson 193 All things are lessons God would have me learn. It is no coincidence that everything in the Course seems to function around the singular number “one.”  The one way to Heaven.  The Oneness of all.  The one purpose.  The One Love.  The One Light.  The one Will, God’s.  And, now, the one lesson. […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 192

Lesson 192 I have a function God would have me fill. Once more we are brought back to the requirement for each and every journey, forgiveness.  The element of forgiveness is the compulsory essence of any journey, whether you come to find that through A Course in Miracles, A Course of Love, The Way of […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 191

Lesson 191 I am the holy Son of God Himself.   Lesson 191 brings to mind the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. from his “I Have a Dream,” speech delivered August 28, 1963.  Words originally spoken for the Civil Rights movement, however they ring true to all of us who are in search of […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 190

Lesson 190 I choose the joy of God instead of pain. On the human journey we often feel more like the mistake rather than the joyous miracle we are. We identify ourselves with the one who makes the wrong choices; the one who causes others to suffer; the one who goes about wrecking everything it […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 189

Lesson 189 I feel the Love of God within me now.   Everything that is of God is within us now. Knowing this is so, is the adventure of life. As we come to know of the magnificence that lies within, we witness a whole different world. “To feel the Love of God within you […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 188

Lesson 188 The peace of God is shining in me now.   The question that begins our lesson says it all, “Why wait for heaven?” (ACIM Lesson 188 1:1).  We can stop reading.  We can close our books and just abide here, in the light that shines in all of us. Heaven is not a […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 187

Lesson 187 I bless the world because I bless myself. You cannot give what you do not have.  As we have discussed before, you cannot give someone $5, if you do not have $5 to give.  In Course terms, we extend to the world through our experience within, as it is by knowing the roadmap of salvation […]
