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

On this Easter Day of 2021, Sondra and Markus explore the resurrection we must undertake in our lives, by ascending into our Higher Self. Can we ascend together today? This dialogue may help you. 

Do we ever consider we are Beloved of God? Do we think that we are the Holy Son of God, the Light of the World? This is our true Identity. Why can we not accept it? We need to claim our Identity on this Day of Easter, in which we resurrect into our God Created Self. 

SONDRA & MARKUS discuss Lesson #186, "Salvation of the world depends on me." The denial of salvation, liberation from the negative thoughts that project suffering and death, is the arrogance of the ego that grips us in self-imposed limitations. Real humility would ask us to step up and be our Self as God created us. This requires we let go of all self-limiting thoughts, deeds and actions that...

"Meditation is that whi...

Sondra and Markus delve into Chapter 15 in the Text, THE HOLY INSTANT, starting with Section I. "The Two Uses of Time." We have two ways to use time. The ego's way and the Holy Spirit's way. One leads to pain and suffering and hell and death. The other leads to healing, forgiveness, Heaven and eternal life. It seems in the Holy Instant is the only real use of time. Its function is to awaken our Se...

God's will for us is Perfect Happiness. Where does pain fit into this truth? SONDRA & MARKUS explore Lesson #19, "I choose the Joy of God instead of pain." Can awareness of our JOY that God created us to be liberate us from all pain? What is the extent of this awareness? God does not bring pain upon us; but we bring it on to ourselves. Our Divine Connection can liberate us from the experience...

"I AM SPIRIT" is the shortest lesson in ACIM. (Lesson #97) It is only 3 words. It is a pure statement of SELF-IDENTITY. We can rise to embrace this reality even while here in this physical body and dimension. Can we use this Lesson to connect with the truth of our SPIRIT? We have to make this direct contact with who we are as God created us. The knowledge of being Spirit is to bring us above the "...

On Valentine's Day we expect LOVE to prevail. And usually we go out of our way to make that special someone feel more special.
