Archives of A Course in Miracles

Lesson 160 I am at home.  Fear is the stranger here. I recently heard a lecture given by late A Course in Miracles teacher, Kenneth Wapnick, where he discussed the purpose of the Workbook for Students is not a course in going to the light but rather in going through the darkness.  In summation, he stated […]

Lesson 159 I give the miracles I have received.   We cannot give what we have not received.  If you have not received five dollars from a job or other source, then you will not have five dollars to give a friend in need.  This concept is both the same in this world as it […]

Lesson 158 Today I learn to give as I receive.   We have learned much about the art of giving and receiving from previous lessons: Lesson 108:  “To give and to receive are one in truth.” Lesson 125:  “In quiet I receive God’s Word today.” Lesson 126:  “All that I give is given to myself.” […]

Lesson 157 Into His Presence would I enter now. Today, you go to a place where only you can go, a place that only you know.  A destination so personal and distinct, that not even our lesson can give you a road map to where you will commune with the One Presence.  It is similar […]

Lesson 156 I walk with God in perfect holiness.   Kevin Bacon was recently in town and I believe I caught a glimpse of him. As he walked passed where I was sitting, I looked up and this being in front of me appeared so familiar. It was hard to tell as he was wearing […]

Lesson 155 I will step back and let Him lead the way. No statement could be more sure of peace than this.  It is a call to remember that “It is not my will, but Thy Will be done.”  If you have ever wondered the purpose and finality of your steps, today has granted the answer, […]

Lesson 154 I am among the ministers of God. Outcomes…we are all drawn to them.  We want to know the how, the when, and the where of everything.  The element of surprise is nice but how can we best plan and control them, right?  That is just it, we can’t control surprises.  They arrive as […]

Lesson 153 In my defenselessness my safety lies. We do not recognize how much defensiveness and fear we harbor.  We do not recognize the walls we build up around ourselves.  We do not recognize the fearful words, even the smallest of ones, that leave our mouths.  We have grown so accustomed to our armor, we […]

Lesson 152 The power of decision is my own.   In the spiritual teaching, Way of Mastery, there is a line spoken that says, “The Truth is True Always.”  This coincides perfectly with our focus in Lesson 152.  Today calls for the recognition of our responsibility that if we are not abiding in Truth then we are making […]

Lesson 151 All things are echoes of the Voice for God.  Welcome back after Review IV!  The central theme for our review was coming to each practice period with a clear mind.  We maintain that focus as we continue in our Walk in Miracles. As we begin, notice how the term “echo” is used in […]
