THE GIFTS OF GOD —Sondra Ray and Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles

THE TRUTH BEHIND ILLUSIONS is that we are fooled by the idols of the world to complete us, but we are already complete and whole. Therefore, the idols never satisfy us. We merely need to see the pursuits we had were illusions. The Truth cannot be made more whole than it already is. Our truth is intact, and idols are not necessary.

BEYOND ALL IDOLS, we have a conniction to our Divine Source. This is better than any "idols" we have made to bring us "completion." We already are whole and complete. To seek for that which will perfect us is a projection of a "gap" that is not there. Giving up the idols that were born out of the illusion of "separation" is our only rel "work" to do. Then we are no longer deceived in seeking to pe...

The Freedom of our Will is to know that it is One with God's Will, and that this is our supreme JOY to realize. There is no other Will that God would have us keep. His Will for us is Perfect Happiness, and therfore our Happiness must also be His will. When we want only that, and we leave behind the false wishes that we made as an alternative to our true Will, then we will have all the power we nee...

"The Rules for Decision" is one of the most important Sections in the Text of A Course in Miracles. When we apply these rules to all of our decision-making pocesses, we are well on the way of staying in tune with our higher Christ Self. Apply these rules and you will be happy. Neglect these rules and you may be disappointed that even your best intended decisions do not content you. This Section wa...

THE FORGIVING DREAM is the last dream we will ever dream. It is the one that ends all the rest of dreams. It is happy, and it is a correction of all errors. Would we not be delighted to know we are absolved of all consequences of our errors in the embrace of the Christ Mind? Christ know us well, and forgives us our illusions because He knows we did not recognize them as such, illusions that do not...

What is the "ANTI-CHRIST" but that which denies the Reality of our own Christ Self? Idols are unrecognized errors that divert our attention away from our God Created Self. Idols replace our True Identity, and these idols could be called the "Anti-Christ." Or, the opposite of the Christ. These are merely images that we value more that the Truth. Let us say NO to this mental construct of illusions....

There is a Reality of the Heaven State of Being inside of ourself. This is fully intact, but we have not sought it there. Sought in the "externals," the dream of heaven becomes an idol to death, though we may deny we are attracted to it. This Section states, "Seek not outside yourself" for the truth of your Being that God created whole. You are already perfect. Seek not to "perfect yourself" when...

What is time but a slieght of hand, and distraction away from Immortality. Time is an illusion that only seems to march on and leave behind our best years. The Timeless Dwelling Place is accessible through total and complete Forgiveness. We loose the world from what we thought it was, and choose our own Reality instead—a Reality that is Chnageless.

What is the Changeless Dwelling Place? The True Christ Self is our Identity. It is Changeless. Can we embrace our true Identity and go Home.? This Section helps us do that.

What are the roles we assign to dreams? The Holy Spirit has a dream of Forgiveness that ends all the rest of our dreams. This is a dream of Awakening.

This makes the case for Forgiveness as the final "dream" that ends all the rest of our dreams of separation and sin.

Markus Ray recites the 365 Lessons of A Course in Miracles in this deep meditation that can be a very cherished listening tool in which to review the power of these Miraclulous statements from the Christ Consciousness.

God's Witness is our brother who has not yet awakened, but will through our forgiveness. Our patience to see him in his Higher Self is our responsibility. His Reality is intact. Will we see that truth in him, be a "Witneess of God".... or withness to the ego? The choice is ours.

Markus Ray discusses the coming of the Guest. Who but the Christ could bestow on us the Gifts of God? Can we make the space to receive them? This is our challenge and our great benefit, to be host to the Guest of our True Self.

There is a "gap" the ego loves to maintain between ourselves and our brother. This is the ultimate way we maintain our separation from God. We cannot claim we want God's Love without ending this "gap of separation." God's Love is WHOLE. It does not cast out the evil doers. Because in this dimension of Spirit beyond the body and all its "demonstrations," there is no "gap" between us and our brother...

The real Ark of Safety is our Holy Relationship. This transcends the body. It ends the sense of separation. There is a Wholeness that is our Reality. There is no separation. Our true Will is one with our Creator's Will. There is no Will but God's. We do not exist apart from this Will, therefore God's Will is our Will. It is one of Absolute, Unconditional Love.

We make secret vows with our body to be "sick." We assign that role to the body which it does not even have. It is not the body who is "sick," it is our mind of the ego's thought system that attacks the body, and our brother, to enact a vengeance upon itself. But the real Self as God created cannot be affected by this insanity. And...the body is neutral. It will only do what it is directed to do....

God is the alternative to fear. We either use the thought system of the Ego (Fear), or the Thought System of God (Love). We cannot use both. The alternative to Fear is Love. This is the only real decision we will ever make in life. Which will we choose? We are not seeing and hearing clearly, beyond all "sickness," until we choose for Love.

The Greater Joining is with our Creator and with our True Self. This is the Self we share with all of our Brothers and Sisters. There are no separate "bodies" and "personalities" in this Joining. It's a Lofty Action. Can we take it?

When we agree to JOIN with our Creator and our Brothers and Sisters, the "cause" of sickness is ended. Separation is ended, which was never really there. The imagined "gap" is bridged at the "speed of light" by the Holy Spirit, and our JOY is restored, as it was always there is in Reality.

In this Video MARKUS RAY discusses our Agreement to Join and end the separation that maintains sickness.

In this Section the speaker continues in Chapter 28 that deals with the undoing of fear. REVERSING EFFECT AND CAUSE is the subject of this talk. Cause must have an effect; an effect establishes a cause. We are the Effect (Self of God's Son) of our Cause (God our Creator). The Father is the Cause and the Son is His Effect. These all share in Love, Purity, Innocence, Boundlessness, Freedom. True Cau...

We are asked to reverse our notions of dreaming the result in sickness and death.

This is the first Section I in the Chapter 28 on UNDOING OF FEAR. It discuses the restoration of the present memory. We think of memory of past situations and events, but seldom do we think of it as a recollection of this present moment. This Section discusses the undoing of the debilitating memory of fear, guilt or anger based on error experienced in our past, brought to the present through a fal...

The Speaker talk about The "Hero" of the Dream," Section VIII in Chapter 27. The main problem we have is the belief that we are "bodies." The body is the central figure in the "dreaming" of the world. The external world of the senses is our confirmation that we are a body, and our Identity is inextricably bound to the body. In many ways do we assign "cause" to the body. The effects become the caus...
