After studying A Course in Miracles, I have come a lot closer to reconciling many of the different beliefs of different religions which I have learned about. Not being an expert on any religion, I would be grateful if you point out any beliefs which I inadvertently misrepresent. I think I have resolved a couple of the major differences between Christianity and Islam in relation to Jesus’ death and his
Last week I mentioned that I am aware of my spiritual back-up team – angels, spirit guides, archangels, ascended masters, and God. (There might be some I left out, but I’m sure they won’t be offended.) I realised during this week that I often take them for granted. I often fail to ask them for help, and when I do, I often forget to appreciate the help I receive. This
This week’s blog is definitely a case of my teaching what I need to learn, but I know that this is always the case. It is easy to become disillusioned in today’s world. Even if we try not to expose ourselves too much to the doom and gloom of the world portrayed by the media, we find ourselves affected by it, nonetheless. It is easy to feel like the world
Even though I try not to watch the news because it is so depressing, I know there seems to be a lot of conflict in the world at the moment. What do you think is the source of this conflict? If we look to A Course in Miracles for answers, we find that the source of conflict in the world is merely a reflection of the conflict within each one
A Course in Miracles has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride for me, since I started reading it a few weeks ago. There have been times, like when I first opened the book, when I wondered if I would ever understand anything. There have been other times when I have been confronted by my deepest fear and wondered how I would ever be free of them, because they seemed to
Last week, if you’ll remember, I did a Tarot reading, and the card for this weekend was The Hermit. My interpretation of this card suggested that you can all be beacons of love and light to all you encounter. Some of you may be wondering just how to do that. But, the fact is, you don’t have to do anything; you just have to be something – to be your
Doreen Virtue’s Weekly Oracle Card Reading for this week ended with the 'God' card. Doreen explained that we are reminded to see God in everyone including ourselves - to look past the ego of the person to God’s essence which resides in every one of us. As I mentioned in last week’s blog, God can be found in all of his creation, if we look at it with an open
As I mentioned in my blog a few weeks ago, I believe that the story of the Garden of Eden is a ‘memory of the future. Since the day we humans made the choice to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and thus experience the rich spectrum of life which this fruit gave us, we have been on a journey back to Eden. In his
A great woman, Sojourner Truth, was born into slavery in New York State around 1797, with the name Isabella Baumfree. At the age of nine, she was separated from her family when she was sold to another owner. As a slave, she had no rights. Even her husband was chosen for her. Her children were not hers, but her owners, to do with as he chose. Sojouner escaped slavery in
I started a new course this week at AIHT (American Institute of Holistic Theology) called Feminist Theology. I was speaking about it in my French class, and the teacher asked me why I wanted to do that course. I told her, as best I could in my limited French, that my reason was because there are lots of women living under oppression. I explained that the book I am reading
