Update

I guess it’s time for an update. Whether or not it’s factually true, the last post I remember leaving here, was of my commitment to the final Lesson of the Holy Spirit: Be Vigilant Only for God and His Kingdom (T-6.V.C., p. 108). That was some time ago.

In the meantime, I have learned many things. I have found my freedom. Judgment is God’s, and He has judged Us as Good. End of story.

Then, there is the Workbook. Lesson 1. Nothing I see…means anything….Lesson 4. These thoughts do not mean anything….Lesson 32. I have invented the world I see. Etc.

That’s freedom. Meanwhile,  Lesson 29. God is in everything I see….because God is in my mind (Lesson 30). That’s the real world, the world you see when (you know) God is in your mind. It’s still an illusion, but it’s a happy dream.

My Amma t-shirt says, “Happiness is a choice.” And Lesson 121 says Forgiveness is the key to happiness. So, forgiveness is a choice. As God’s Son, everything is a choice, except my One Identity in Him.

I could go on and on, quoting the Course, but I won’t. If you’re looking for a way to achieve liberation from the pain and suffering of this separated world, you need look no further. If you continue to study it, you will realize the Self. And, you will have a thorough and complete guide for living the happy dream on Earth.

If you have any questions, please ask them. And, maybe I’ll write some more.

Stand In the Light of Christ

I was interviewed this week by Wanako Oberhuber of The Holy Spirit’s Curriculum of Joy Podcast. As Wanako describes it, “We hear how Michael started his awakening and the journey through the priesthood to A Course In Miracles. There are so many take aways you will enjoy applying to your own lives.”

I talked about the things I learned from experience in an amazing non-denominational, non-sectarian, religious order that ordained both men and women to the priesthood and allowed priests and brothers and sisters to marry and raise families, and performed many miracles on a daily basis.

I also spoke about the pain of separation I felt when the order gradually disintegrated into religious orthodoxy, and the challenge of reentering the world and dropping that religious identity to pursue a worldly vocation. I talked about my search for spiritual connection and the places I found it: Western Sufism, Tibetan Buddhism, Sanatana Dharma and, finally, A Course in Miracles.

I shared my healing from a painful divorce, my self-therapy, and my second awakening to the Self Within; and, healing the aging body from Scoliosis, the effect of childhood polio. I describe the Power of the Word, Devotion, and the importance of showing up in your life. The video is right here, and the podcast is here. I hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration thereby.
