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

We are arrogant to reinforce our "littleness" with thoughts like "I am not good enough. Others are more deserving than me. Etc." We over compensate with self-inflating thoughts like "I am so much better than everyone else." "Littleness or Grandiosity" will never satisfy us. Yet, we are Exalted in the Grandeur of our Creator. We share this Grandeur, this Ligh...

The Atonement is obviously the way to evaluate your true Self. The Holy Spirit looks with Love on all the He perceives. The ego does not love you, and perceives you in a suspicious and even vicious way. God's will for us is happiness, and we attain that by evaluating ourselves correctly, through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. God Wills us perfect happiness now, and we need not delay our Joy. Pea...

For our awareness of our Whole connection to Everything, we have to join with our brothers wholeheartedly. We have to accept our brothers a part of us. To the degree we let them in, we see who we are as God Created us. Our Glory is shared, in other words, in order to experience it. It is quite simple. Each part of the Sonship we remember we add to the Sonship. We awaken through accepting our broth...

UNHEALED HEALERS do not see that all sickness is self-inflicted, and that the cause for this self-attack is not real. This is a Lesson for us to see that "problems" are only appearances of conflict and imbalances, but the corrections and solutions are rooted in "changing our minds." The person who is certain can see that thought determines all effects. And if there are effects...

To forgive is to "overlook." Can we overlook our errors, and those of others? When we make the "error" real, and then "forgive" it, we are using the "ego's plan" for forgiveness. This does not absolve us of guilt, but intensifies it. We do not know what forgiveness truly is, but we have a Guide to help us, Who does know. Can we allow the Holy Spirit to a...

How do we correct our errors? This is the subject of this Podcast. We are apt to correct "others" without looking for the source of the error in ourselves. Self-correction is always the right approach, no matter what the error is we are witnessing. We have to be careful not to "blame" our brother for his "errors" without seeing the common pitfall that we all fall into...

Finding our True Self is the purpose of the Holy Spirit's curriculum. The nature of the ego is fear, and we know that all too well. We are not so aware of our Reality, which is aligned with the Will of God. But our true Will is the same as the Will of God. God's Will for us is Perfect Happiness and Absolute Love. The Will is full awareness of our True Self. Fear abides in the things that w...

Healing is a change of our perception. The deep memories that manifest as replaying problems may tempt us to think the Holy Spirit is not helping us. The Ego will fool us into thinking the Holy Spirit does not help us to heal. Perception alone can be "sick" or "wrong." What are the thoughts that we need to heal? Wrong perception is the illusion of sickness. Reality is not sick....

What is the purpose of our Body? We are not our bodies, and our bodies are neutral. Our body is just a tool to use to express something. Are we expressing attack and anger with our bodies? This is not their function. Are we communicating Love and Unity with our bodies? The Body is simply a means not an end. It is a "communication device" to share that I am Love and you are Love and our M...

The Body is a means of communication, not an end in itself. Too often we identify our "self" with our "body.” This is a mistake that can engender fear, and promote attack, which results in guilt. This is the "slippery slope” of the ego's descent into hell. The hell is not really there, but we make it up, thinking that the actions of the body are real and lasting. When we us...

GOD'S TREASURE IS YOU! You are the Divine Gift God has given to you. The SON of GOD is the Treasure of God. He is Eternal and so are You. If we want JOY, we have to be aware of our eternal nature. We return to the awareness of Who we are as God created us. Then we return to utilize the Gift of our Self Identity. Until we wake up to our true Self, we are not tapping into the unlimited resources...

Joining our will with the will of the Christ will also connect us with our Creator. We stand in this True Self of our Being. Christ is in us and The Creator is in the Christ. These are simple directions to connect our will one with the Creator. The Divine Will is Undivided in Truth. We would like to be part of this Truth. It is our vigilance to only have this connection in our awareness. AMEN.

We have free will to cause ourselves to suffer. We have free will to deny the Will of our Father. We have free will to deny the Christ in us. We have free will no matter what—even if it is a form of "unwillingness" to accept our Divine Will. Our true Self is only in a state of Peace and Joy. The alternative "will" of the ego has rejected Peace and Joy. Then we vacillate and mak...

All Encounters with anyone is an opportunity for us to discover the Happiness within ourselves. We need our Brothers and Sisters to see the Happiness within them, and thus within ourselves. The GLORY and POWER of God is what can awaken all of us to Pure Joy. Power produces Joy. Glory results in Happiness. Will we focus on the positive aspects of what we are "seeing?" We can only "en...

The Holy Spirit leads us to more peace and freedom. It is unconditional, natural, and joyous. This teaching is more of an awakening to what we already have, than an "additive" process that fulfills a "lack." You have no lack. You have the Will God gave you, which gives you everything. Perfect Happiness is the Will of our Creator for us, and our true will is one and the same. We...

We have a "Course" of action in life, and this course we could also call "the curriculum." There are two—the ego's curriculum, or the Holy Spirit's Curriculum. The first leads us to "war" and inner conflict; the second leads us to peace. Peace is a condition necessary for us to enter into the Kingdom of Knowledge. We need the Atonement to erase all of our past...

We are in a state of Grace and simply are not aware of it. Our Mind is the determiner of our awareness, and if it is directed by the ego, whose nature is problems, pain, suffering, unhappiness, etc., then we will be aware of that. If our Mind is directed by the Holy Spirit, then JOY and Peace and GRACE will ensue. Our awareness depends on what part of our Mind is in charge. We have free will to th...

The Guidance of the Holy Spirit will always lead us to more JOY. Not following this guidance will give us judgments, anger, fear, guilt and PAIN! Which do we want? We would not consciously choose pain, but our unconscious unwillingness may direct us not to follow any guidance. Unwilling to listen to another way, we think we already know the way. This Podcast gives us another alternative to this qu...

Extending the Kingdom is to be is a state of intense JOY, and being willing to give away that JOY. The fullness of the Kingdom is important for our awareness of it. We extend to all, and this extension is our co-creation with God. What do we have to give? This is what we give and this is the extension of the Kingdom. And also, this is the Source of our JOY. When we are giving of ourselves to all o...

The Unbelievable Belief is the ego's thought system to perpetuate conflict. It projects the conflicts outward onto others to avoid seeing it maintains conflict inside of you. Therefore it maintains your belief in it, which is unbelievable. We are the ones giving the ego energy, and trying to "get rid of conflicts" by projecting them outward. We stay busy in order to avoid seeing our...

Wholeness of the Kingdom means you are complete and perfect all of the time. Partial commitment to Wholeness is meaningless. A little lack is no commitment at all. The Laws of Wholeness rise above all lack, and all partial attempts to accept the Kingdom are released. We accept the Kingdom wholly and completely now. We leave behind all illusions, or any mistakes. "Teach no one that he is what...

The Vigilance is only needed when we "listen" to the ego's voice of separation and conflict. As long as we are subject to its voice, we need vigilance "against" this self deception. Yet, once we realize that the ego's voice speaks only the "untrue," then we can Decide for the Power of Love which does not listen to the ego's rantings. We are no longer &quot...

HEALING AND THE CHANGELESS MIND; ALTAR TALK

We heal as we recognize who we are as God created us. It is a decision we initiate. The Holy Spirit helps us to remember who we really are, and forget the "false self" we made (called the "ego"). Our "little willingness" to heal is all the Holy Spirit needs to use our decision to translate our Hell into Heaven, to "heal" our sickness into "health."...
