Yesterday I came across a brief personal message in Helen's notes that is not part of the flow of dictation and did not make it into the Urtext, let alone any version after that. Nevertheless, it is a true gem, one of those passages worth memorizing and keeping with...
The following is not from the Course; it's from a near-death experience of a woman named D. S. Weiler. But I believe it helps make real to us the kind of love the Course is talking about when it speaks of God's Love. It fleshes that Love out in surprising detail, so...
I have practiced this prayer, which Jesus gave to Bill, for many years. In fact, at one time, I prayed it in its extended form every day for over a year. How amazed I was, then, to discover it in a deeper, newer way when I took it into my quiet time this morning. My...
I recently realized something that I think has really been holding me back. Maybe you can identify with it. When I try to practice the truth, to remind myself what is really true, often my mind can't really go there. I might remind myself, for instance, that another...
The other day, I was reading Charles Tart's The End of Materialism, and he quotes in full an account of a profound mystical experience that a man named Allan Smith had. Smith was a promising young researcher on the nature of anesthesia, and an atheist, when one day in...
One of our CCC members, Howard Westin, sent me this moving video. It's only four minutes long and I highly recommend it. Get Service My reactions while I watched were interesting. First, I was thinking, "The acting is bad. The production is trite." But then as the main...
When I went to Sweden in November I was picked up at the airport by a woman whose husband, a very devoted Course teacher, had died just a few months before. She was very interested to know what the Course had to say about the timing of death. Is it a choice? Is it...

[Please note: ACIM passages quoted in this article reference the Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP) Edition.] In our Tuesday night Course group in Xalapa, Patricia and I gave a presentation on the meaning of Christmas in the Course, based on Robert’s recent article on...
I wrote a commentary last Friday on Workbook Lesson 344 that deeply affected me. That lesson is "Today I learn the law of love; that what I give my brother is my gift to me." Much of what the commentary focused on was that phrase "the law of love." Here is what I wrote...
[Please note: ACIM passages quoted in this article reference the Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP) Edition.] Joy seems to be becoming a constant in my life, if not always here, at least welling up from within throughout the day. Sometimes I can hardly contain it, like...
[Please note: ACIM passages quoted in this article reference the Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP) Edition.] I have been profoundly affected by our recent TRP readings, especially since “The Dreamer of the Dream” at the end of Chapter 27 and into Chapter 29. I found...
