Building the Immune System of the Mind
I’d like to share a short video clip from Ken Wapnick discussing the application of A Course in Miracles during the Swine flu pandemic that gripped the world in 2009. For those of you who never had the chance to meet Ken, he was an amazingly kind, loving soul who was part of the original […]
A Course in Miracles Lesson 11
A Course in Miracles Lesson 11: My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. This lesson starts off with these very powerful lines: “It seems as if the world determines what you perceive. Today’s idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world you see.” Talk about totally pulling the rug out of […]
A Course in Miracles Lesson 10
A Course in Miracles Lesson 10: My thoughts do not mean anything. One of the most important themes that recurs throughout the Course is the idea that our thoughts determine our experience.

There are some movies that have such a totally unexpected twist that your jaw […]

A Course in Miracles Lesson 5
A Course in Miracles Lesson 5: I am never update for the reason I think. “This idea can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain. The upset may seem to be fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy or any number of forms, all of which will be […]
A Course in Miracles Lesson 4
A Course in Miracles Lesson 4: These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place].
