So lets start by asking ourselves – What is it that the Course in Miracles does for us?

I know for me,  I seem to be an endless seeker and my mind spins around trying to solve the puzzle of life here on earth….A Course in Miracles has brought me peace, and answers.  If not in a  literal way, it some how soothes my soul and assures me that everything is alright and the questions have been answered.   The course teaches a way of life so different from what most of us see that it is quite inspiring.  I continue to read this book over and over again, gaining new insights with each reading.

What about you guys, why do you contiune to study this material?

If you really loved and valued yourself, what changes would you give yourself permission to make in your life?

Do you really love who you are?

Can you love yourself with all your faults and mistakes?

Is your love for yourself and others dependent on acceptable behaviours?

Learning to love and value yourself is the key to healing your life.

There is no doubt that others can help us along the journey, but if we rely completely on others to heal our lives we will never truely learn the lesson and next life time we will face it again to see if we have really learned it.

So how do we know for sure or should we really even care. Perhaps we spend way to much time worrying about the after life and not enough time living a great present life. Can we ever really know for sure or do we desperately need our beliefs and feel good theories to get us through the loss and tragedy of our present life when it presents us with death.

Other interesting theories say there is no death, just a transition from one story to the next. They would say that the illusion of death is just a silly story and as meaningless as falling asleep and waking up in the dream world. Or maybe our present life is just a dream, and when in this life we dream that we die, we finally wake up to our real state of being. But there is definitely more out there than most of us realize. But we must becareful to search for our selves and not just fall prey to the answers that we are taught for our beliefs are limited by conditioning and the real truth is still out there.

Watch for your secret hidden wishes to be ill and see what benefit the illness brings to your life. We can never really be rid of illness as long as it gets us something we subconsciously desire.

I myself come from a strong Christian background and it is a challenge to read the material with clear eyes and not always put the statements into the perspective I was raised with.

In fact it is the process of constantly pushing the material through our conditioned filters that helps us break them down.

It is only our filters that get ruffled by the terminology not our spirit. If you continue to read and push through the language of the course and your own personal resistance, you will discover an amazing result. In order to push through you are also tearing down. You are subconsciously unwinding your conditioning. Before you know it things are changing for you. And in you.

It almost seems miraculous. Just reading it constantly is like a call to the soul. The soul hears even when the conscious and subconscious mind fights it. But the soul hears and responds.

It is like a medicine that you take in and it just starts working behind the scene. I can not adequately explain the wonderful life changing effect this book can have – even if your mind fights it – keep going.

It is written in seeming old English and often the sentences don’t seem to make sense. But the truth is the logic brain can’t get a hold on the information, but the soul can. So you feed the soul its own truth while the logic brain flounders around trying to get you to stop this insane reading material.

But push on dear friends; you will awaken something deep within you that will transform your life, quietly and consistently. Just keep going, don’t listen to your logic brain and ego based thoughts they are meant to keep you lost.

There seems to be so many roles to play, and so many people demanding our attention. And yet, how can this matter if everything is an illusion?

Have we created all this busyness just to satisfy our own need to be important? And if we did not need to feel special and important then perhaps all our busyness would disappear.

We are all trapped within the walls of our own insecurity. And yet – We are all rather amusing aren’t we? We find each other’s dramas fascinating. We love to tell others of the gossip we heard about someone else’s life.

I wonder what happens when we stop finding other people’s lives amusing. What would happen if we put all our attention into our own moods, behaviors and decisions? Perhaps we would have more energy for the things we really want. If we were not so amused with the everyday dramas playing out, maybe we could see beyond them into our greatness…I always wonder why, we as humans settle for such mundane lives when we are capable of so much more?

I guess it is because we just don’t know what else there is. So few people see into the metaphysics of life to find the inspiration to shift to a different level of living…

So we amuse ourselves with the everyday dramas.
