A Course in Miracles: Lesson 26

Lesson 26 My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. We stated before that we are our own biggest bully.  Today’s lesson surely shows us this is so, “The idea for today introduces the thought that you always attack yourself first (ACIM Lesson 26 3:1).” Because we attack ourselves and since our thoughts create the world […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 25

Lesson 25  I do not know what anything is for.   How much of our life do we try to figure out what something means?  How it fits into our life?  What the purpose is?  These questions alone are usually the basis for most characters on tv as they play out our tendency to analyze […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 24

Lesson 24 I do not perceive my own best interests.   Rrrring….Rrrrring (telephone rings) Voice 1: Hello Voice 2:  Hi, is Kathy at home?   Voice 1:  This is she. Voice 2:  This is Truth calling.  Can you talk?   Ouch.  Today is a real blow to the ego.  Today’s is like a shocking phone […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 23

Lesson 23 I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts.   This lesson truly empowers us, as we shine a light on what limits our experience of the Truth of who and what we are.  Yesterday you became more aware of the level and frequency of your attacking thoughts.  Today […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 22

Lesson 22 What I see is a form of vengeance.   I was sitting once in meditation and experienced one of those revelation moments.  Albeit not trying for it, as it goes, it just happened.  I was sitting on the cushion and as I was observing the sensations of my body, I noticed I was […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 21

Lesson 21 I am determined to see things differently.   Never before has our commitment been so poignant and called into action.  We can no longer hide from anger, hatred, grudges, and triggers of annoyances.  We realize in our five practice periods today that we can no longer work with empty words and that we […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 20

Lesson 20 I am determined to see.   We have been getting to know the mind, this small mind that we have been a slave to.  After twenty days of various ways of observations, you may be noticing there is a more clear distinction of what it means to be happy or sad, angry or joyful, […]

A Course in Miracle: Lesson 19

Lesson 19 I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. Today’s idea goes a step further from yesterday’s.  It is more of the recognition that we are of one mind which makes sense when you think for a moment.  We are all created by God, in Her likeness, and were created at […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 18

Lesson 18 I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. Welcome to a lesson on the “The Frame.”  Today is an introduction to the frame from which we see our lives, ourselves, and others.  Imagine your eyes create the borders of a frame and that which is in view as you look […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 17

Lesson 17 I see no neutral things. It is an election year, thus, there are many debates, points of view, changes to come, hot topics arising, and various, what seems like, pressing issues.  It is a time that comes every four years where we are reminded of polarity and where we are given the opportunity […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 16

Lesson 16 I have no neutral thoughts. Prompted by today’s lesson, I wanted to know just how many non-neutral thoughts we actually do have in a day, hour, and minute.  If you research online the number you will most likely run into is 70,000 thoughts per day.  That breaks down to 3,000 per hour and 50 […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 15

Lesson 15 My thoughts are images that I have made.   Today’s lesson begins with the most confusing statement the Course has to offer: “It is because the thoughts you think you think appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing.  You think you think them, and so you think you see […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 14

Lesson 14 God did not create a meaningless world.  Today’s lesson leaves me saying, “Thank God,” as we review the horrors of our mind during the practice periods.  Although fear and pain may come up with the thoughts that cross the mind there is a sense of solid comfort and peace that follows.  What is […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 13

Lesson 13 A meaningless world engenders fear.   Today’s lesson calls upon our ability to perceive and observe our desire to do so.  As we have been introduced to the blank space that lies within the mind and the meaningless world we see, it is tough to for our eyes to see that there is […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 12

Lesson 12 I am upset because I see a meaningless world. As we head down this yellow brick road, we find that each lesson of the Course holds so much power and wisdom.  Lesson 12 is no exception, except potentially is one that is the keeper of many keys to unlocking the chains that binds […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 11

Lesson 11 My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. After yesterday’s internal work, we open our eyes to greet a new world in front of us.  A world in which we recognize that our thoughts create our experience.  We have been told to watch our thoughts and to choose the good ones.  Why? […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 10

Lesson 10 My thoughts do not mean anything. Today’s lesson is very profound and invites courage to take the responsibility for our own thoughts.  But we are more than ready to take on today’s work.  This is why:  ten days in, let us recap specific lessons that have led us to this one in particular: […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 9

Lesson 9 I see nothing as it is now. I am reminded today of a physics lesson.  I remember learning about vibrations, wavelengths, and the movement of particles.  My teacher talked about the vibration of a desk and the wavelength between the particles.  If an object appeared to be more solid, like a desk, then […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 8

Lesson 8 My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. Starting to read this lesson, I found my mind going back and forth from thinking of the past and then projecting into the future.  It was a mental game of ping pong in my head and only when the ball hit the net was I in […]

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 7

Lesson 7 I see only the past. Today is our first official lesson about time and calls upon us to notice how we perceive each item that catches our eye and how we label each object based on past experiences. I see only the past in this blanket. I see only the past in this […]
