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

What do we value that does not last forever? What do we value that produces anything but pure joy in us? What do we value that gives us a "tinge of guilt?" What do we value that takes something away from another. Whatever that may be, this lesson says, it is "valueless." We need to let it go. There is a place in us where the immortal beauty of Life pulsates and guides us in our...

Can we change the "Source" of our thinking? Can we "think with the Mind of God" instead of the "source" of our limited ego thinking? The past is part of this limitation. Can we liberate ourselves from even the "source of death," our ego? We have to give up this "world" we thought up. This "world" is a projection of our thoughts that do no...

What would the Truth be? God's Love and Peace and Joy created a Cosmos and that Love is the Only Reality. Everything else not love, coming from fear, and the "hell" that we made up, is a projection, an illusion of some complex of "thoughts" that are not in alignment with this Absolute Reality. A hard "pill" to swallow at first, until one sees this is a "decla...

Does this world satisfy you? The world is merely a projection of the thoughts and feelings that you maintain within yourself. The conflicts of the world are "inside of us," just as the beauty and peace are as well. But to come to this world of Heaven we must first see the “hell" is what we made of the world, and we must be totally willing to give that world up. That would also mean...

Love in the Absolute sense of the word, or the truth of the word, associates Love with the changeless Oneness of Reality. It associates Love with God, and the state of Being that is Unlimited and given Life by its Creator. The larger vision of Love is what this lesson is about. This lesson can be applied to any brother toward whom you may have held grievances. There is a Prayer to correct this: &q...

Can we be quiet within? Are we willing to shut off the "chatter?" All of us have noticed the activity of our "thinking" all too often is racked with concern, negativity, judgments, and a litany of attack thoughts directed toward ourselves and others. This is what we need to silence. When we are in "quiet" we can actually receive a happy state of being (God's Word)...

We give and receive what we give. This is a Law. If we give anger and attack, we will receive that back to us. If we give forgiveness and release, we will be released. This is the Lesson we need to master the Forgiveness that A Course in Miracles is teaching. We recieve in the giving. We give what we have in our hearts. Are we giving Peace and Joy?

This is a Combination PODCAST of our "Messages From The Altar" #3 and today's Gifts of God Podcast on Lesson #123-4; "I thank my Father for His Gifts to me," and "Let me remember I am one with God." It is essentail to have awareness of our Divine Connection in everything we do. "God is in everything I see, because God is in my Mind." This is Lesson #30....

What are the GIFTS OF GOD that interest you? Do you want them in the first place in your soul, in the core of your Being? Are there more important things that you want to achieve and acquire? Do we put the "remembrance if God " in the first place? What does it mean to "remember God?” Are you happy and with a Divine Purpose? More satisfaction in the Remembrance of God may come in forms that are int...

This Lesson, and this podcast for that matter, could change your Life completely, fully and forever. Do we embrace the practice of forgiveness? Forgiveness is the key to happiness, and the rejection of forgiveness maintains our negative memories and the misery that they produce in us. Forgiveness is our responsibility to rise above our negative past and neutralize these memories by seeing our part...

The struggles of life are an illusion when we are in a state of Perfect Happiness. Can we allow the Truth of our sinlessness to come forth in our vibration? The mood we are in emits a vibration. What are we giving out? Fear will send out fear and get fear back. Sending out Peace and Joy will attract the same back to us. We forgive and undo any misperceptions we have about ourselves. The Truth of o...

We can now REVIEW Lessons #91 through Lesson #110. This is REVIEW III. Today's Lessons, reviewed two at a time, are "Miracles are seen in the Light," and "Miracles are seen in the Light, and Light and Strength are one." Remember, the "Light" has the function of total forgiveness. "Forgiveness is my function as the Light of the world." (Lesson #62) Let&#3...

Can we rise into our true IDENTITY? This Lesson puts us in the vibration of Who we are as God Created us. We are the Son of God. This is our Highest Reality. This is the "Truth that sets us free." Can we receive and embody this Truth? "I AM AS GOD CREATED ME." There are no problems in SELF-IDENTITY. I am not separated from my Source. I am the Son or Daughter of the Divine FATHE...

Giving and Receiving are ONE when I use the Light of Divine Vision and Understanding. The light the body's eyes "see" is not the clarity we need to transcend all opposites. There is a LIGHT of GOD's MIND, that is also our real mind, filled with only the thoughts we think with God. In this mind there are not "opposites" or "conflict." We receive what we give, b...

Are we listening to Peace and Joy, or to our mild irritations? Can we meet Life with a truly open heart and mind that is empty? Sondra & Markus explore the process of "listening to the truth" which amounts to deeper levels of peace and joy in our life. Let us be clear, “What does it mean to give and receive?"

We claim God's Gifts to us because they are already given. Yet, we have to be willing to give them away to know we have them. "To have, give all to all," it says in the TEXT. And now we are on the verge of knowing we have all the Peace and Joy God holds out for us. Are we not glad to know this? Our little "problems" cannot stand up before the Infinite Peace and Joy that is...

Do I seek the truth of God's PEACE and JOY? Are we distracted into the pain of our existence? Are we committed to turn our life around? We can rise above all that is not Peace and Joy. We have to leave pain behind and rise to a Higher Truth. Are we able to do this? WIth the help of the Holy Spirit we can. We are sorry we casued ourselves to suffer. We accept the correction of all our "wro...

God gives us only happiness. He gives us the way to transcend the body and the mind's projections of conflict onto it, and all pain it experiences. God has a higher Will for Joy that is His Will for us. "God's Will for us is perfect happiness." DO we accept that? Have we projected "fear" onto "God" which is the Source of Happiness? We must share in that happin...

Salvation is the end of the ego's rule of our world and the embrace of our Holy Self as the guide by whom we live. This would be called "salvation" in ACIM, and "forgiveness" is the means by which we replace illusions of the "self we made" for the reality of Love that God created as our True Self. We are saved today from our separated illusions of a "mind&quo...

Salvation is the complete immersion in the Joy of Living, and forgiveness of all past errors we have made, or "think" we made. Our Real Self never made these errors. Salvation is the absolution of all our past mistakes. We have to completely forgive everyone and everything. We are free of all consequences in the embrace of our Divine Innocence that cannot ever be assailed. The Guiltless...

We have one SELF that is whole and totally consistent with the Joy of God. To which do we use our mind to Identify? Body or Spirit? Are we SPIRIT? Are we a BODY? What is the Source of us? Spirit is in a state of Grace forever and this would be a state of Pure Joy. Body is immersed in duality—peace and war; good and evil; happiness and sorrow. The nature of Grace is constant JOY. This is God-like....

We practice affirming our Identity as God Created us to be. We are as God created us. We are One Self, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. Awareness of our Being solves all of our "problems." As God created us, we are free of all "personal lies" and claim our True Self. This is the Self of Love, free of fear, and cleansed of all "idol...

The Light and the Strength of our holy SELF transcends the body's eyes and brain. There is a Sight and a Strength that is connected with the Christ Self that we share. But we have to be willing to let go of what we thought before with the brain's stored "knowledge” that was highly conditioned. We were conditioned to "hate" and to "love" according to what the body&#...

We have to see differently, without the filter of the body's eyes. Can we see beyond the body, and all the judgments that this limited form of vision gives us? Rise above the doubt and see through the Self God Created whole and complete, not separated from awareness of its Source. This is the Light beyond the body that gives us the vision of miracles. Strength is in this vision of holiness.
