08-07-09, A course in Miracles, another daily miracle

A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is available in text format at your local bookstore in soft or hardcover at http://www.miraclecenter.org/. Though it is Christian in the way it is described it is universal in application which is the first reason I love it. The second is that it is the quickest way I have found to experience peace and happiness.
I experienced another miracle yesterday. If you are not experiencing them daily then, why not? Check out this paragraph from the ACIM text third edition "The Song of Prayer" page 15: "Forgiveness has a Teacher Who will fail in nothing. Rest a while in this; do not attempt to judge forgiveness, nor to set it in an earthly frame. Let it arise to Christ, Who welcomes it as gift to Him. He will not leave you comfortless, nor fail to send His angels down to answer you in His Own Name. He stands beside the door to which forgiveness is the only key. Give it to Him to use instead of you, and you will see the door swing silently open upon the shining face of Christ. Behold your brother there beyond the door; the Son of God as He created him."
This paragraph gave me a little insight which I used in prayer to let our creative power determine what is important and where forgiveness is to be used. It took tremendous responsibilty off of my shoulders. The natural result was that I physically felt better as well.

Daily Peace and Happiness

I thoroughly enjoy sharing thoughts of peace and happiness with all of you. I have been studying A Course in Miracles for over 5 years and a daily lesson that I got a whole LOT out of was lesson 26. It really helped me put things into perspective and remember our invulnerability. In fact the last two sentences of the lesson are: "That thought is an attack thought on myself". And "My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability".  I invite you to study it for yourself. It's nothing short of AMAZING. 

This lesson has reminded me of the power we have to overcome obstacles. It also has reminded me of our true identities. It really helped me put the problem that was confronting me below who I am. I now may be aware of thoughts that I used to recoil with but now they really don't have much affect on me at all.
