Lesson 139 I will accept Atonement for myself.  We follow-up yesterday’s lesson as we continue our discussion on the power of choice, recognizing in any moment we come to two distinct choices that eventually lead us to the single choice for the acceptance of the Atonement.  There is no gray area and there is second-guessing. […]

Lesson 138 Heaven is the decision I must make. We are gifted with free will.  We have the ability to choose from the smorgasbord of options and play in this world and in this body as we wish.  We can play with fear, suffering, illness, beauty, love, joy, and every other emotion and mask in […]

Lesson 137 When I am healed I am not healed alone. Currently, in our Walk in Miracles, the focus has been on the term, “healing.”  When we talk of healing, we are talking of healing the mind by correcting our misguided thinking and aligning with Sacred Vision.  We have been doing this since Lesson 1, […]

Lesson 136 Sickness is a defense against the truth. Gary Renard, speaker and writer on A Course in Miracles, often discusses one of the main lessons in the Course is, “We are not this body.”  I love hearing Gary speak because with his northeast accent it comes out something like, “We are not this bawdy.” […]

Lesson 135 If I defend myself I am attacked. Did you ever build a fort as a kid?  I remember building lots of them, both indoors and outdoors.  Outdoors, my forts would be in the woods using natural resources, and indoors, I would use sheets and blankets to make a roof and various rooms within […]

Lesson 134 Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. With certainty, can we all agree that we have mastered the art of pretending we are not God, created like Herself.  We have mastered thinking we are not Masters.  This shows how brilliant and creative we truly are.  We have perfected the act of unawareness as […]

Lesson 133 I will not value what is valueless.  The Way need not be hard or complicated.  In truth, the Way is certain and simple.  Any complexity or confusion is born of the ego as a means to obscure our way Home, as the ego fears the release of its strong hold.  When we are […]

Lesson 132 I loose the world from all I thought it was. We have come to understand that, a miracle, as the Course defines it, is a “shift in perception.”  Each step we have taken together we have explored various ways to undo our misguided thoughts so as to shift our perception about others, our […]

Lesson 131 No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth. There is much relief into today’s statement as regardless how much we believe we have stumbled and fumbled on our course home, the end is close and sure.  Today a light is shown upon the hallway in which we stand.  For lifetimes we […]

Lesson 130 It is impossible to see two worlds.  Our journey in this complex world is actually rather simple.  Grey areas we welcomed to be explored but when it comes to full liberation, awakening, and living as the Light of the World, the field gets narrowed quickly:  love or fear, forgiveness or judgement, peace or […]
