The Grace of Miracles – Part 26 – “Tell a New Story”

Suppose we closed the chapters that we have written on always trying to make ends meet – trying to make a way out of no way — and dared to tell a new story – never told before — a story of boldness rather than fear, freedom rather than jealousy, victory rather than victimhood, power […]

The Grace of Miracles – Part 25 – “The Light We Bring”

The Grace of Miracles – Part 22 – “The Holy Relationship”

Beyond the body that you interposed between you and others, and shining in the golden light that reaches it from the bright, endless circle that extends forever, is your holy relationship true. Every illusion brought to its forgiveness is gently overlooked and disappears. For at its center, Christ has been reborn with vision that overlooks […]

“The crucifixion cannot be shared because it is the symbol of projection, but the resurrection is the symbol of sharing because the reawakening of every Son of God is necessary to enable the Sonship to know its Wholeness.

The Grace of Miracles – Part 19 – “Forgiving Ourselves”

In Life is for Loving, Eric Butterworth explains self-forgiveness in a way that is in accordance with A Course in Miracles. He says: “We talk of forgiveness as if it were something we can easily do by an act of will. [But] forgiveness is not achieved by simply saying, ‘All right, I am going to […]

The Grace of Miracles – Part 16-18 – “The Holy Instant”

A Course in Miracles teaches us that the Holy Spirit joins with you to make the “Holy Instant” far greater than you can understand. You need to do so little that enables Spirit to to give so much. Let not time worry you, for all the fear you experience is really past. Time has been […]

The Grace of Miracles – Part 15 – “From Gratitude to Rebirth”

A Course in Miracles says “Fear is not of the present, but only of the past and future, which do not exist. There is no fear in the present when each instant stands clear and separated from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the future. Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in […]
