"Enlightenment is but a recognition,
not a change at all."
[A
Course In Miracles Workbook, Lesson 188]
To all who have found
their way to this page, please be aware that it was not by any
accident. We have the good fortune to meet here, our paths crossing
at this place in timelessness.
There
is a purpose for this encounter, please read on. . .
Regardless of our religion
or lack thereof, our spiritual beliefs, or what ever we may think
about the existance of a higher power, there exists an open line
of communication, available to all of us that many are
not even aware of.
It is constant--like a 24 hour a day broadcast station that has
just the programming we need for what ever is going on in our
lives. Our only requirement is to tune in. The greatest
difficulty we have in doing so, is that there are other broadcasts
on at the same moment that we find more compelling; more interesting.
We have a tendency to choose these distracting channels because
they deal with what we are primarily interested in; our bodies
and their senses.
Communication from 'God,' or 'Spirit' (whatever we perceive It
to be) comes to us through the our Higher Self (the Holy Spirit).
Remember we are all capable of such communication when
we truly desire it.
All we have to do is, be still and listen . . . which
simply means; become focused in the present and let go of any
past or future thoughts. The first essay has some basic instruction
that will help you practice this concept.
My personal path
for more than two decades has been the study and practice of
A Course In Miracles. It is my wish to share with students
of the Course and other seekers of truth, by passing on
some thoughts that have come my way in quiet moments. The "Voice"
is always on hand to tell us what to say. In times of personal
turmoil and indecisiveness, I chose to listen and write. Such
was the way these pages came to be, and I too, am still learning
from them.
