You are facing a challenge in your life. What role does the power of your mind play in that challenge-both in dispelling it and in bringing it about in the first place? The following picture is my attempt to gather together a number of threads from the teaching of A...
(Note: in A Course in Miracles, the masculine pronoun refers to all of God's children, both male and female) We call it death, but it is liberty…. We thank the body…for all the service it has given us. But we are thankful, too, the need is done to walk the world of...
I have recently been making nonjudgment the focus of my daily practice. So I decided to mine the Course for quotes on nonjudgment, so that I could turn them into Workbook-like ideas that I could repeat throughout the day. The quotes I found were so numerous and so...
We all know that we are supposed to be patient, yet we are usually ambivalent about it. Patience means waiting calmly, without complaint, for something that we hope will occur. Waiting patiently often feels like reining in wild horses. We would like to step in and...
“The Circle of Atonement” (T-14.V) contains a beautiful image of coming into a circle inside which everyone is joined in the experience of God’s Love. In one of our recent Text classes here in Sedona, we did the following visualization based on the image in that...

How many of us really feel good about ourselves? In this psychologically-sophisticated age, we all know about self-esteem and how important it is. We all know that we need more of it (though we may be convinced that certain people need less), and we may have even...
A Visualization Based on Text, Chapter 26, Section IV Think of a relationship in which the two of you are separated by mutual condemnation, bitterness and blame. See the space between you filled with a dark cloud of sin, blocking each other from clear sight. Now...
