Transform lives.



Guy Finley: To Help Another, See Yourself
I know I should not worry about certain things in life; however, what am I to do when loved ones have chosen things that are not in keeping with the things that they have learned?... [continued]

So long as you follow your intuitions, you cannot be deceived. When you follow the vanity of pleasure seeking your judgment is lost. Above all notice what is right for you to do by others. ECH

As long as man insists upon his own shallow rules, people will bump into people. VH

Robert Scheinfeld:  Are YOU a Collector, Doer or Transformer


What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it up? What if you realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly unreal? (T-20.VIII.7:3-5)
The special relationship is content (the mind) and not form (the body), and in this lies its betrayal and trickery. The following incisive passage from the text highlights this aspect of the ego’s plot against God and His Love. It points to formal religions, is more specifically aimed at Christianity, and even more specifically targets a very ritualized Catholicism:
The special relationship is a ritual of form, aimed at raising the form to take the place of God at the expense of content. There is no meaning in the form, and there will never be.… [It is] the sign that form has triumphed over content, and love has lost its meaning (T-16. V.12:2-4). From:
“THE TREACHERY OF IMAGES”—Part I Confusing Symbols with Source, Form with Content by Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.

I got an email today concerning what’s happening in Quebec over religious symbols. And then I read the above article. And then I felt peace. And then I remembered the name of White’s book “Father, Forgive”.
There’s a great line I’ll paraphrase “People—not only students of
A Course in Miracles—but all people need to be educated to hear the
meaning behind words used in prayer.”
Are YOU choosing the ATONEMENT (at-ONE-ment), right minded thing 
or 
are YOU choosing separation, wrong minded thinking.
