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

What prevents us from seeing miracles in our life? What are impulses that we get confuses. The real pleasure is in doing God's will, which is changeless. Physical impulses can come and go. They are not eternal. A miracle impulse puts us in touch with constant joy, not temporal joy. Our direct communication with our Creator is close behind this encounter with Joy.

THE ILLUSIONS OF NEEDS MARKUS & SONDRA discuss the different "levels" that seem to divide our SELF in the separation, and what would integrate us back to wholeness. Why do we fear? What is the cause and what is the solution? This podcast deals with this subject.

Wholeness and Spirit Today Sondra & Markus discuss miraculous channels of expression. Connecting with the Christ puts us in a state of abundance. In the Self God created we are in communication with our Source. Miracles help us to be aware of and maintain this divine connection. In this state of Being we are whole. We cut time and move toward the Atonement when we move toward Spirit, make our...

We are Spirit. The personality of the self we made up is not our true Self. When we shift focus to our Self God Created, as Spirit, we wake up to the fact we are Love, and this is Spirit. When we give attention to our Spirit, our True Self, the Atonement takes place and we are restored to the Light, the Sphere of Celestial Order.

Giving up grievances corrects our perception. We can make ourselves "miracle ready" when we are serious about giving up all grievances, "thoughts that hurt," and all judgments. At the personality level we cannot enter the state of Grace. We can rise above the personality through Forgiveness. This lifts us into the Spiritual Realm in which the miracles can be given us through th...

ATONEMENT & MIRACLES Jesus is in charge of both. He knows when we need help, but we have to ask. And be willing to receive direction and follow it. Whatever action He inspires us to do, remember this: Spirit is in a state of grace forever. Your reality is only spirit. Therefore you are in a state of grace forever. The miracle shifts us out of lower level concerns into the Sphere of Celestial O...

TEXT; 1; II.; 4-6 Revelation, Time, & Miracles Markus reads an Ode to the Divine Mother, "I call to You." Then he and Sondra discuss the Revelation that God has in store for us. Jesus is One with God but also one with His brothers. His Love can call down Revelation from God to us, and also intercede for us with Miracles. No time is really needed for this. The Christ cuts time for us....

TEXT; II. REVELATION, TIME, & MIRACLES Sondra & Markus discuss section II. of Chapter #1 of the Text of ACIM. Our communion with God opens the channel for Revelation. It is beyond our thought and understanding. Miracles, on the other hand, enter into our consciousness and induce action that is interpersonal. Jesus is not asking for "awe" toward Him, but rather respect and willing...

TEXT #1, I. 41-50 The Principles of Miracles Sondra & Markus complete the 50 Principles of Miracles in this Podcast. The God Created universe has a Sphere of Celestial Order that governs even the "laws" of physical matter. We are given miracles to lift us above the "physical laws" into the Laws of Love that restore our world to the perfection of this Celestial Order.

¶ 31-40 Principles of Miracles Markus & Sondra further discuss the 50 Principles of Miracles. The miracles are here to correct our perception. They are not meritorious of awe, but rather gratitude. They are everyday events that restore us to the Celestial Order of things. Miracles get us out of "lack thoughts" and put us in the protective order of Divine Providence. Miracles get us i...

The Principles of Miracles; ¶ 21-30 Sondra & Markus discuss the next ten principles of miracles. How do we overcome fear? What does it mean to rise to a higher level of our Being? These are questions asked and answered in this podcast on the Text of A Course in Miracles. Some of the most fundamental principles need to be clarified so our study is applied, and the Miracles we are receiving make...

The Principles of Miracles ¶ 11-20 Prayer is the medium of miracles. Sondra and Markus give focus to prayer, a new Divine Mother invocation, and a deep dive into the first Chapter in the Text of A Course in Miracles. Chapter #1 starts with 50 principles of miracles. One by one, Sondra and Markus discuss these principles and shed light on their application.

Principles of Miracles 1-10 Sondra & Markus begin the TEXT of A Course in Miracles with an auspicious invocation with the Holy Spirit's INTRODUCTION to ACIM—"A required Course" indeed, designed to "remove the blocks to the awareness of Love's Presence." The begin with Chapter 1, The Meaning of Miracles, and with Section I. The Principles of Miracles. Welcome to this...

3. The Practice of Psychotherapy III. The Question of Payment The holy relationship of the Psychotherapist and the Patient is not entered into for the money. Yet, an exchange may take place. The Therapist gives what he may see is needed, in terms of Forgiveness in himself and his patient, to take them both to a more sane place. The patient may supply the money the Therapist needs in order to do hi...

3. The Practice of Psychotherapy I. The Selection of Patients II. Is Psychotherapy a Profession? This Section 3. is the recognition that GOD arranges all meetings. Where two or more are gathered in His Name, His Presence must be there to affect the relationship. This is what is actually happening between the "Therapist" and the "Patient." Even what is communicated is not up to...

PPPP 2. ; VII. The Ideal Patient-Therapist Relationship Every encounter is an opportunity to heal. There is no difference between the "therapist" and the "patient." The "patient" is the one who can heal the "therapist" of his own misperceptions. The Christ enters this ideal relationship to enact the forgiveness necessary for healing to take place. This is un...

PPPP 2; VI; The Definition of Healing The definition of healing depends on the definition of the sickness as "unforgiveness." Guilt would have to be present, and the healing would have to involve forgiveness. Forgiveness is the remedy for "guilt," either projected onto ourselves or onto "others." The forgiveness has to happen between the "therapist" and the...

PPPP 2; V. The Process of Healing When two or more are gathered for the purpose of Healing, God's Presence and Help is invoked. It is guaranteed to show up. All healing is a process of forgiveness. And the unforgiveness in us is at the root of all sickness. Helping another to overcome the unforgiveness in themselves also gets us out of unforgiveness. All is healing when we meet our brothers in...

III. The Role of the Psychotherapist IV. The Process of Illness The Psychotherapist is a teacher. Yet, the Teacher, the One who has transcended judgment altogether, and arisen into the totality of the egoless state of being, is needed as a Guide in the process. Otherwise, "sickness" is seen as a "reality," and the the illusion of sickness, made up of false "self-concepts&q...

PPPP #2; II. The Place of Religion in Psychotherapy The main element of Psychotherapy is forgiveness. The "belief in God" is not necessary. The therapeutic quality of any relationship depends on the giving up the justification for anger and attack and the embracing of inner correction of the upset casing the upset. Forgiveness is essential. "Formal Religion" is not only unneces...

PPPP #2; Intro & I. The Limits on Psychotherapy The relationship between the Patient and the Psychotherapist is described here. The dismantling of the Self-Concept that made up suffering is essential. Healing depends on this. Fear, Guilt, and Anger are bulwarks of this Self-Concept. We are all clinging to the "self we made" ACIM calls the ego, and in this clinging is great suffering....

Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process, Practice This Supplement for A Course in Miracles was scribed by Dr. Schucman in 1977, after the dictation of A Course in Miracles. It established the mind as the proper focus for the healing of all disease. It also establishes the Holy Spirit, or the Teacher, as the main healer, or "therapist," Who can also help the patient sort out his mind and make the...

#6 HOLY SPIRIT The Holy Spirit is the Life force that pulses through the Christ. It "bridges" between the world of "perception" within a world of form and the Divine Reality of Knowledge that is Spirit, which Itself is formless. Love is the domain of Knowledge, which imbues all living things with the Energy to BE. We can connect with the Holy Spirit in order to prepare ourselve...

COT #5 JESUS - CHRIST There is the Man and the Christ. When the man Jesus rose to meet the Christ in himself, he had something of unity to give to his brothers and sisters. We are as God Created us in the Heaven of Creation, but we have forgotten where our reality is. The Christ awakens us to be our true Self. He can do this because He has risen to it in Himself. The Christ is in us already. We me...

PERCEPTION - KNOWLEDGE In this physical dimension we have perception. And to be with the Absolute nature of Love, we have to cleanse our perception of the conflicts and grievances we hold in our mind. The MIND of GOD, the realm of Knowledge, does not have these conflicts. But in our world of perception, we do. To prepare ourselves to step into Knowledge, approaching the Altar of Truth is necessary...
