Following I quote excerpts from A Course in Miracles, which, I feel, are some of the clearest thinking on the roots, the nature, and the solutions of fear."Fear of [Truth] is one of the strangest beliefs the human mind has ever made. It could not possibly have occurred unless the mind were profoundly split, making it possible for it to be afraid of what it really is. Reality cannot 'threaten' anything except illusions, since reality can only uphold truth. The very fact that [Truth], which ... Continue reading ...

Following I cite a passage from A Course in Miracles which I feel captures, unlike anything I read the true meaning of justice. Anything short of this isn't. I hope you are impacted as much by the wisdom herein as I am. We sure do need more justice, and until we truly know what it is, how can we accomplish it?
"Be certain any answer to a problem [Wisdom] solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this must be true because [it] asks no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demand... Continue reading ...

Being a psychotherapist, there is not a day goes by that I don't sit with people who are anxious, including myself. The thing is, if they could find what would reassure them, they would not be seeing me. In other words, anxiety becomes a problem when nothing reassures; and finding nothing that reassures becomes, itself, a source of anxiety, leaving people caught in a downward vicious cycle.Enter a deep-enough understanding of the three principles behind all experience to the rescue. These ... Continue reading ...

The following excerpts from A Course in Miracles can result in understanding that allows us to move beyond guilt. Guilt has not solved our problems. Have you noticed? It has only added to them. May the words below help you free yourself of this abuse:
"Guilt remains the only thing that hides [the Truth], for guilt is the attack upon [it]. The guilty always condemn, and having done so they will still condemn, linking the future to the past as is the ego's law.....it demands fidelity...and f... Continue reading ...

This is a powerful meditation from Robert Thurman in Infinite Life: Awakening to Bliss Within, which can end the cycles of violence which have brought us to the brink. I share them with you that we may each do our part to heal ourselves, each other, and the planet: "The first phase of this meditation is to review the causality of all the injuries you have suffered and could conceivably suffer. Do this in the infinite life context, so that you include in your analysis all of your many pre�... Continue reading ...

More deep wisdom from A Course in Miracles on healing, perception, knowledge and miracles:"All healing is release from the past....the past does not exist, a fact that belongs to the sphere of knowledge....the mind that knows this unequivocally knows also it dwells in eternity, and utilizes no perception at all. It therefore does not consider where it is, because the concept of 'where' does not mean anything to it. It knows that it is everywhere, just as it has everything, and forever."The v...

Today I am impacted by the writing of Richard Barlett in The Physics of Miracles where he says:"Whenever you have a problem, don't always seek out the most obvious solution. Break through your own rules whenever possible. When a rule is broken within yourself, you realize that there was never a rule in the first place. Every rule defines the border and the boundaries of your perceptual bias. There is no reason to play by the rules. Sometimes it is useful to be resourceful by pretending ... Continue reading ...

Here is more deep, impactful wisdom from "A Course in Miracles".
"No one can give unless he has. In fact, giving is proof of having.... The truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess.
"How is this possible?... things but represent the thoughts that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you give ideas away, you strengthen them in you own mind....
"Ideas must first belong to you, before you give them.... Herein is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning. Now ... Continue reading ...
