As I watch this (TRCM) group's display of communication, I see so many
mind-games being played repeatedly - like endlessly circling around a
corpse, like vultures - and I laugh when I remember Neville, when
learning about boggarts, to see his indomitable grandmother's hat
bearing a vulture to replace an image he feared the most: Professor
Snape - yeah, JKR's books do contain lessons in healing of fear.

But the fear of love - the fear of healing - the fear of true union
with the Spirit - all this needs miracles, through Jesus and the Holy
Spirit. And they can be ours, just for the asking.

Being only sincere Course acolytes here on this ng we know that each
seeming separate expression is just our mind presenting an outpicturing of
ideas that is an expression of the desire to express a will other than
God's.

Let's use the thought of Carrie. The mind projects the Carrie thought to
very effectively maintain the belief that there is someone outside of each
seeming individuality thought. She has to be outside -- look at all of her
"whatevers". She has to be outside she is nothing like me. This is the
mind maintaining a kingdom outside the Kingdom.

As long as we don't accept the possibility that we are the dreamer -- the
little willingness to allow that maybe what our senses seem to tell us isn't
reality --the acknowledgement that we are not cause in this temporal realm,
the dream seems real. Carrie, bad drivers, Iraqis, Ghandi, Tammy Faye
Baker, Course students, Jesus are all expressions of a mind or an aspect of
mind. They are thoughts that (who cares how they seem to be manifest as
form) are thoughts in a mind first then seemingly experienced outside the
mind projecting them.

Saturday Evening, Tonite
December 29th
8:30pm ET

I've opened a new yahoo groups where we can just hang out together and
share what ACIM means for us on an experiential level. Membership needs
to be approved but it will not be moderated. There will not be a focus
on personalities or what the (s)elf is doing wrong. It will be a place
where everyone can just be thems/Selves without criticism and name calling.

We will be able to post photos too .... so we can all share our hobbies
as well.

ACIM Workbook Lesson 361-365 ~ December 29

http://courseinmiracles.com/acourseinmiracles/workbook/acim/Final_Lesson.htm
http://www.acimradio.net/urwork/

" Lesson 361 to 365

"This holy instant would I give to You.
Be You in charge. For I would follow You,
Certain that Your direction gives me peace."

If I need a word to help me, He
will give it to me. If I need a thought,
that will He also give. And if I need
but stillness and a tranquil, open mind,
these are the gifts I will receive of Him.
He is in charge by my request. And He
will hear and answer me, because He speaks
for God my Father, and His holy Son. "

Carrie Starshit lied:

"I keep reading what a wonderful person Sheryl is. She's a
published author, a course teacher and lecturer.

She has said she doesn't read the posts here, and considers herself
above those who do participate here. She has moved on."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

mr bill replied:

"show me exactly where sheryl has ever said that she is above those who
participate here. you excel in digging up the past to use against
people, so i am certain that you should have absolutely no problem
finding proof to support your asinine claim.

when you fail to do that, you will admit that you are a liar, whether or
not you actually say anything."
