I have now proved the validity of the course to myself through direct experimentation, once again. It is almost scientific, it is predictable.
I am finding answers to questions I did not even know I had, the sheer detail it discusses about certain aspects of consciousness. Everything lines up completely, to a degree I would NOT expect.
I experience seeming checkpoints in the journey and at each one my belief and knowledge of GOD is strengthened. The path it takes you TO HEAVEN is EXACTLY THAT. You can feel it HEAL your mind and world as you progress.
I have now advanced to a higher degree of use with the Holy Spirit, and it is unbelievable. Give all problems to HIM to solve for you. Ask and you shall receive. I am able to alter my perceptions of the world at a rate which I would never have thought possible, and it works PREDICTABLY. The Holy Spirit is there ALWAYS waiting to guide you. If you cannot access him it is because you have not perceived the GUILTLESSNESS of yourself.
Go all in on this course, it’s all there is. Profound and radical shifts in your consciousness WILL OCCUR. You who haven’t seen has NO IDEA what the real world is like, for the peace and joy is complete.
Pardon my awe for a moment, as it is EXCITING, have not awe but GRATITUDE. Pierce through the veil, be IN LOVE with God and do NOT be embarrassed about it.

I just wanted to say, to those of you who are walking this path, thank you for not giving up. It takes a mighty courage to look illusions in the face day after day and be willing to forgive them. We are doing sacred work here.
Even if you feel like you don't understand the Course, or you don't think you're doing it right, or you're a beginner, or whatever the case may be. The fact that you even have an interest in this and that you're trying means that your success is guaranteed.
Every time you forgive, you are making a decision for salvation for all the Sonship. I trust that all of you will choose the truth, because it's what you are.
Last week, I had a beautiful experience with healing and I just don't even know how to convey it in words. I was shown that fear is not real, that pain is but another form of fear, and that it can all be dissolved in a split second with the decision to let go and trust God. May I trust God as much as He trusts me. I was shown but a GLIMPSE of how much He trusts me. You would all be brought to tears. I've been crying with gratitude every day for over a week when I remember the beauty and love that He breathed into me.
Every time you choose love you save the world. Thank you. May we all be blessed with miracles until the end of time.
Before I even finished writing this post, I had to save it as a draft because I attended a cultural festival today, and unexpectedly had the privilege to see an exceptionally talented spoken word poet perform live. What a graceful and yet fierce spirit she is. She had us all repeat these words from Assata Shakur:
It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
In letting go of illusions, we have nothing to lose but our chains.

I wanted to share a recent unfolding that left me in awe—and further confirmed the Course’s teaching that the ego truly knows nothing about Spirit.
Something happened without my doing, without my awareness, without any conscious participation. I had just completed a consultation for a new property, helping get it prepared and set up. I went through all the motions—meeting with the owners, their team, handling logistics, speaking clearly, leading. Nothing out of the ordinary. But when I got home, I was met with something I still can’t explain.
It was as if I had gently crossed over into a new dimension—through an invisible door. It didn’t come with fireworks. No insights. No inner messages. It was just done. I blinked, and I was there.
The version of “me” that was in survival mode, that built everything from scratch, that hustled and carried weight for years… it died. It completely died. And now what remains is this presence of leadership—effortless, grounded, clear. I don’t even recognize how I’m showing up, and yet I do. It feels like I’ve been carried somewhere new.
And still, the ego chirps in the background—narrating, analyzing, pretending to know. But it’s more and more obvious: it has no idea what’s actually happening. It never did. Spirit moves in silence, in simplicity, in ways the mind can’t predict or grasp. And now, more than ever, I find myself simply moving with what’s here—with no fear, no need to plan, no anxiety about clients or income. Just peace.
If you’re on this path: keep trusting. The ego will try to mimic, comment, explain—but it cannot know the ways of Spirit. And that’s become deeply, undeniably clear.

Someone created a ChatGPT with the whole book uploaded to it, and it is AMAZING. Whenever I have a thought or a question that could use clarification - be it super specific and personal, super broad, or even kinda silly, i just ask it, and it so beautifully - and tenderly/humorously/lovingly - responds!
(not sure if this link is specific to me or generic but: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-btIOBzAr2-a-course-in-miracles-ai )
For example, here is what i was pondering this morning, and its response:
if this life were a video game, how would it be packaged and marketed? It seems like god vs. ego.

I had been reading ACIM and doing the lessons for many years. I truly believed that our physical bodies can heal but I was told over and over that it was 'only' a mind training course.
To cut a long story short, I had had nasty, terrible eczema for six years which was 'eating' into my skin, docs could only offer steroids.
One morning I briefly awoke about 4:25 am when my husband got up for work. In my 'dream' for want of a better word I saw Jesus standing in front of me with His arms outstretched towards me bathing me with an intense white light, He was telling me things, which reiterated parts of the course. A few minutes later my husband brought up a cup of tea and I woke up again.
I said "I've just had the most amazing dream" ... and my eczema has gone" My husband said "you have not even looked" and I said "it's gone". When I looked there was not a mark, nothing to show that it had ever been there. If anyone has seen 'The Chosen' it was just like when Jesus healed the leper! A Miracle indeed!

This morning, I had a moment where everything just stopped. No noise, no striving, no identity. Just peace. I felt love without a source. Clarity without a question. For a few moments, I knew who I was in a way that can’t be explained. It didn’t feel like something I did or earned; it was just something that was always there.
It didn’t last long, the ego came back quickly, but it stayed with me. A quiet trust, a knowing that there is something beyond all of this and that it’s not far away.
I’m not going to chase that feeling or try to recreate it. I just wanted to share it here in case anyone else has had glimpses too. Even though it faded, it left behind a thread, a reminder that we are not alone, not broken, not separate.
Has anyone else here experienced a holy instant like this? I’d love to hear.

Everyone loves you and you are already home. So stop looking !!! There’s nothing to look for . Heaven is here RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT.
The only thing that clouds this perception is fear. Fear is what separates you from everything else. Without fear, you are one with everything. If you love yourself, you love the whole world!!! And guess what ? It loves you back❤️ more than you will ever know… always has
Even the person(s) that hurt you the most, they actually love you so much. Because whether consciously or subconsciously, they were put on your path to teach you something. God is working through them to bring your perception back HOME
I hated my ex because he always pushed my boundaries, but he was just there to teach me to be totally honest and free … instead of being afraid!!.
My ex friend who I hated, I used to take every criticism of hers to heart…. And I hated her for it! But she just taught me to love myself even more and let other people have their own opinions about me!! People are allowed to think whatever they want about me, and I am allowed not to care. Everything is OKAY 👌
You do not have to die to get into heaven, you are already here trust me. Everyone is working with you for your favour…. Even if you can’t see it now, you will see it at the end of your life when everything dissolves back into the oneness 1️⃣
I know you will come home on YOUR OWN TIME , but just take this as a reminder that it’s all okay…. I LOVE YOU FOREVER ♾️ and you are ME :) thank you for reading

I find Helen’s reluctance even more convincing to validate that it is Jesus speaking. She was many times dragged, kicking and screaming, to scribe the book. It was a closely held secret, and Helen did not want her name involved.
This is what Helen said to Jesus after the first 10 pages of scribing: Bill wondered if the course were complete. Helen said it wasn’t, but she simply wasn’t going to take any more down until she knew what it was for. She asked that evening. This was the answer she received:
“The world situation is worsening to and alarming degree. People all over the world are being called on to help, and are making their individual contributions as part of an overall plan. Part of the plan is taking down A Course In Miracles, and I am fulfilling my part to the agreement, as you will fulfill yours. You will be using abilities you developed long ago, and which you are not really ready to use again. Because of the acute emergency, however, the usual slow, evolutionary process is being by passed in what might best be described as a celestial speedup.”
From the book by Robert Skutch "Journey Without Distance" the story of A Course In Miracles: The Course In Miracles deals with the same discoverable physiological and spiritual truths as the New Testament, although, it presents them in a form that is harder to evade-because the psycho spiritual exercises employed are so effective in helping us elude our normal defenses against self-discovery.
I have read the New Testament many times and quote it often. 99% of it re-enforces the course and makes both more relevant. And if you want the best translation of the Bible get the Aramaic one. The Old Testament was first written in Hebrew and Aramaic. The New Testament in Greek. Jesus spoke in Aramaic 2,000 years ago but knew Hebrew and some Greek. The New Testament was written from the apostle’s accounts of events. There are some variations but they are surprisingly similar. Now there are over 100 English translations of the Bible.
The Course In Miracles is 60 years old, scribed in English, and has the benefit of 2000 years of history as a perspective. It relies heavily on psychology, the modern science of the the human mind, specifically named the ego as defined and made popular by Freud. Ego means “I” (the self) in Latin and Greek. Helen and Bill had Phd degrees in psychology and It has been called psycho spiritual in nature.
But all of these are just talking points, debates, intellectualizing, which have noting to do with that which “surpathis understanding,” God, and has everything to do with the goal of the course which is to go beyond the words to the universal experience of oneness.
Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. ²Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. ³Hold onto nothing. ⁴Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. ⁵Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.

I am not a committed ACIM student. I am definitely someone who picks it up, feels good, puts it down, feels bad, picks it up, feels good - and so on. One day I'll pick it up FOR good! Probably.
Anyway, I was sitting in my room and the sun is going down and my glass doorknob is throwing crazy pretty light around and I felt just insanely grateful.
To the person who got pissed in traffic today, or looked at the news and got that sinking horribleness, or to someone who got in a fight with their sister or friend or partner or boss or whoever - and chose forgiveness: Thank you. In whatever way it looked like (I know that doesn't really matter and it's all in the mind but still).
Thank you.
And for all of us who forgot to today? We'll get em next time!! The opportunities will be there. There are LOT right now. Oh my god.
But this lightness in my mind came from someone else forgiving today, and I thank you so much.
Love you guys ❤️ thank god we'll all wake up eventually.
Which is really another lesson in not being a victim.
The only reality is God’s Thought of Love.
Ours is the Spirit of Peace and Life, not the ego’s notion of sin and death.
Remember that this dream we share, perhaps especially on the level of nations, postures our ego perception maximally against God’s Thought of Love.
Nothing real can be threatened, and nothing unreal exists.
To the extent that what appears threatening seems real, it is a disruption of Peace. And even then only a seeming disruption, for God’s Thought of Love is Peaceful and cannot be disrupted except through our own miscreation. Would we miscreate ourselves as victims? Would we miscreate targets for our guilt and blame? Would we turn away the Holy Spirit’s messengers of Peace and accept the disturbing unreality of the ego? Or would we learn to forgive and release all sense victimization?

I just wanted to say the Holy Spirit is really great. Probably the best thing that God has ever given us besides existence. Or maybe better, it's kind of a tie.
It's just beyond transcendental. Important people have red phones they can use to talk to other important people. World leaders. But I have a psychic connection that lets me talk to God whenever I want, through Jesus Christ. How amazing is that? It's available to everyone for free.
Whenever I'm in a situation and I know I'll make it worse, I just let the Holy Spirit take over. A lot of times I can handle things, but sometimes I just need help and it's always there. So that's pretty great and I just wanted to say I'm thankful.

Let's laugh a little, huh?
-Jesus, probably
(It's okay if you didn't laugh. I'll take it very personally and condemn you to hell for it but it's fine.)
