 In this excerpt from "The Hathor Material" by Tom Kenyon and Virginia Essene, you will discover what it takes to have everything you ever wanted and more. It's a paradox. Read on.
You can ask, "What's in it for me?" and you can ask, "What can I do for the greater good in this situation?" The paradox is that when you ask the former you miss out and when you ask the latter you thereby gain more than you can dream. You can only have all you ever wanted, and unimaginably more, when you begin t...

In this excerpt from A Course in Miracles you will find deep wisdom on dreams and the nature of dreaming. You thought we only dreamed while sleeping? Look again, and you will come to see that we are also dreaming when we think we are awake, and you’ll know why.
“Does not a world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is clearly not the world you saw before you slept. Rather it is a distortion of the world, planned solely around what you would have pref... Continue reading ...

Truth is formless because it is limitless.
When we gave it form we limited it,
and limiting it, lost sight of it as limitless.
All form contains the truth,
yet no form is the truth, for it is limited
and truth is limitless.
Enjoy the form, yet
forget not the truth.
You are the truth.
You are limitless. Continue reading ...

 This is a powerful passage from A Course in Miracles that shows us a way out of our terror. At the end of our journey we must "raise our eyes and look on terror", but we can do this with no fear at all when we see each other for what we truly are and thereby forgive each other. May this move you as it did me.

More deep wisdom from A Course in Miracles clearly describing the lesson that miracles were sent to teach:
"The miracle returns the cause of fear to you who made it. But it also shows that, having no effects, it is not cause, because the function of causation is to have effects. And where effects are gone, there is no cause. Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the mind made sickness, and employed the body to be the victim, or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson wi... Continue reading ...

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 ...

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 infiÂnite life context, so that you include in your analysis all of your many preÂ... 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 ...

From time to time I come across such powerful messages in "A Course in Miracles" that it has a major impact on me. This is one of those passages. I hope it has even a fraction of the impact on you.
"Defend the body and you have attacked your mind. For you have seen in it the faults, the weakness the limits and the lacks from which you think the body must be saved. You will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from t... Continue reading ...

Barry Schwartz in The Paradox of Choice points out that too much choice leads to indecision and dissatisfaction, and he suggests to limit choices. When it comes to emotional and spiritual well-being this is not a problem, as there is only one choice between two options as I will illustrate below using text from A Course in Miracles.As it points out, "You do not ask too much of life, but far too little" because you value what is valueless. So how do you know what is of value? "The laws that... Continue reading ...

"By the notion of paying for the past in the future, the past becomes the determiner of the future, making them continuous without an intervening present, [and] the present [becomes] only...a brief transition to the future, in which it brings the past to the future by interpreting the present in past terms [and] 'now' has no meaning....
By this notion "The present merely reminds [us] of past hurts and [we] react to the present as if it were the past. [We] cannot tolerate release from the past... Continue reading ...

In this video (http://www.threeprinciplesmovies.com/conferences%20joe/conferences_joe.php) you will see Joel Slack, a schizophrenic who was healed by his realizaiton of the truth, talk about his experience. That is all a healing miracle is - realizing what is really true; seeing beyond the mis-information, the dis-information, the illusions and the lies that we have been handed down through the generations. "Know the truth and the truth shall set you free". It is as easy to know the truth ...

Last night thousands celebrated the murder of Osama Bin Laden, including our illustrious President Obama, who had his forces hunt him down and murder him.
I felt deep grief arise, not because Bin Laden was dead - we all die. But because we are still celebrating murder!
Bin Laden was a murderer because he was a the mercy of his thinking. We are no different. We, too, are at the mercy of our thinking. That is the only way we can still celebrate murder.
To think that we can solve terrorism and... Continue reading ...

- Write down your fears and stressful thoughts and question them, or try to prove them right.

- Write down what you hear when you are still, and very quiet, and attentive.
- Use your will to willingly give up your will to the "greater will" (what is happening in the moment).
- When you notice that you are reluctant to gi...

Byron Katie asks, "Who would you be without your story" (if you did not
believe the stressful thought you were having)
She also asks, "WHAT" would you be without your story
It just occurred to me to ask, "WHERE" would you be without your story
and "HOW" would you be without your story, and "WHY would you be without
your story?
This has a big impact. I invite you to try it, and it may have no
impact at all. Continue reading ...
