The way to Love and Inner Peace is through Forgiveness.



"Believe you can and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt
"If two of your friends are on the other side of a thick wall, you may not be able to recognize them by their voices. The wall prevents clear hearing. If you wish to recognize them, the wall must not remain between you and them. This is what we are now doing. In order to recognize the voice of truth, we are removing our psychological wall. For example, by removing traditional but false beliefs, we are able to hear the pure messages of our original nature."
Vernon Linwood Howard [Wall is like a veil: A search of ACiM for “veil” http://www.miraclecenter.org/a-course-in-miracles/phpDig/search.php]

THERE is no death! What seems so is transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian
Whose portals we call death.

"You think the absence of pain is the absence of you. But the absence of you is the absence of pain." Vernon Linwood Howard

 “The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.” William James

Christos Consolator.
BESIDE the dead I knelt in prayer,
And felt a Presence as I prayed.
Lo ! it was Jesus standing there.
He smiled : "BE NOT AFRAID."
“Lord, Thou hast conquered death, we know;
Restore again to life," I said,
“This one who died an hour ago."
He smiled : " SHE is NOT DEAD."
“Asleep, then, as Thyself didst say ;
Yet Thou canst lift the lids that keep
Her prisoned eyes from ours away."
He smiled : " SHE DOTH NOT SLEEP."
"Nay, then, tho' haply she do wake,
And look upon some fairer dawn,
Restore her to our hearts that ache.”
He smiled : "SHE is NOT GONE."
“Alas ! too well we know our loss,
Nor hope again to feel that breath
Till we ourselves the river cross."
He smiled : " THERE is NO DEATH."
"Yet our beloved seem so far,
The while we yearn to see them near,
Albeit with Thee we trust they are."
He smiled : "AND I AM HERE."
" Dear Lord, how shall we know that they
Still walk unseen with us and Thee. -
Nor sleep, nor wander far away ? "
He smiled : "ABIDE IN ME."

"Cease to pretend that the nightmare is a beautiful dream and life
takes on a new meaning."
Vernon Linwood Howard

The maxim, "The end justifies the means," is the greatest perversion of truth, and still more so if this hidden power, the power of suggestion, is used to injure any one for a more personal motive than in these cases which I have cited. The lower the motive, the lower the action becomes, and to suppose that because mental means are employed they make any difference in the nature of the act is a very great mistake. The Hidden Power by Thomas Troward [1921] II. The Perversion of Truth

I cannot go into illustrations here at length. They would only necessitate unfavourable criticisms. One has only to read such works as Andrew Jackson Davis produced to raise the severest sceptical doubts. No one could have given a more graphic account of the other life than he does in his Summerland. But if we compare it with the communications of Judge Edmunds, the differences are so great as to create doubt, rather than prove the case. Then Stainton Moses, in his Spirit Teachings, gives an altogether different account, and through Mrs. Piper the same real or alleged personalities denied some of the most important statements made by them through Stainton Moses. In all of them, however, it is represented as a replica or duplicate of the material world. And yet, in the face of this, communicators will often tell us that they cannot tell us what it is like, and that we would not understand it if they did.
