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 […]

Lesson 129 Beyond this world there is a world I want. It is easy to take Lesson 128, “The world I see holds nothing that I want,” and today’s follow-up lesson, as means to support a belief that there is nothing in this world worth experiencing anymore; that this world holds nothing for us so […]

Lesson 128 The world I see holds nothing that I want. Today’s lesson is why nothing has ever seemed to fill this void that resides within us. It is why peace by an outside means never lasted. It is why we are always driven to buy, learn, or explore the “next best thing.” Everything outside […]

Lesson 127 There is no love but God’s. In 1960, Etta James came out with a song entitled, A Sunday Kind of Love.  Her opening lyrics state, “I want a Sunday kind of love / A love to last past Saturday night / And I’d like to know / It’s more than love at first sight / And I […]

Lesson 126 All that I give is given to myself.   We began to witness the potential of today’s statement in Lesson 108, “To give and to receive are one in truth.”  We go one step further as the Course invites us to explore how the art of forgiveness works in conjunction with the loop […]
