Echoes from Out Of Time Calling You to Your Own Awakening and Illumination

Change is imminent and inescapable. We have no choice. But what is it that we want? Real change occurs in the mind to generate a future different from the past. For this we have incredible tools and many use them already. Here are they, introduced and offered again in the form of books, websites, people etc. It's the ideas behind them that we must use. No one can do it for us. We are the change. Remember, we are citizens of the Universe. We have to wake up.

All it will take is willingness to practice simple new ideas. Time is not our concern -- it's only willingness. What will we learn? Actually, nothing. Transformation is an un-learning or un-doing of what hinders us to be who we are in truth.

Our true and only purpose is to wake up and return home. We have the manual in these books and tools here on this lens. Share my love for them, not just to have them on your bookshelf, but to learn of their ideas. Practice them a while and use them as rules of thought, until they are the rules by which you live, extending light and joy and peace, love and freedom to everyone.

20 Essays on A Course In Miracles 

New book release: "There Must Be Another Way" by Raymond Comeau

This collection of twenty essays, based on deeply-felt, personal experiences of transformation, and expressed in clear, simple, and concise prose, demonstrates to the reader how to let go and let God.
There was an error connecting to the Amazon web service. Please try again. Sorry, there are no results available from Amazon.

Wait a Second... 

Before you take a look at anything else here, just two questions. Maybe there really is nothing to learn, because enlightenment is but a recognition. And what is to be enlightened anyway?

Where is an idea, a thought?
Where does an idea or thought come from?


Look at it. These are very valid questions. You read this on your screen. But it's all about an idea, a thought. The words, the letters, the screen have nothing to do with the idea they express and present, do they? It is the idea or thought, or the interpretation thereof, that drives us. And yet we seem to be completely unaware of it, imprisoned in physical reality of time and space, in denial and oblivion of the fact that we think and are the thinker, and most of all, that the thinker, the I, is not the body.

What do we see, when we step back from constantly listening to the ongoing chatter in our minds, and watch our thoughts as we would watch a procession of strange things, dispassionately? Have we become so completely preoccupied and absorbed with our ideas and thoughts, that we fail to notice that we constantly act upon them, judge according to them, project them onto people and situations? What if we don't do this?

Where are thoughts and ideas? Can you tell any idea that is not your own? How would you tell? By saying you are this body, and that idea belongs to that mind in that body? How can the body come up with an idea, interpret, and judge it? Doesn't it always only follow orders? So, where is an idea? And can mind be limited? By what? So you might as well look at the ideas expressed here as well as in the books presented as coming from your own mind. That is way cooooool. And they are either true or false. There is no in between.

What, if you saw for just an instant that every idea in all of the universe is your idea? God, you, would be an idea then, too? You would be the mind where all of this is happening? God would be the Mind with which you think? Lack of anything would be impossible. Think about it.

"Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all." (Lesson 188, ACIM, standing for A Course In Miracles)

Your Memory of A Great Awakening 

You Are still You

You dream a dream of separation and death, because there is only one Source of Reality, and this is not it. This is not the glorious effect of a whole, universal and loving Mind or Intelligence. Truth is true, and nothing else is true. What is not true, cannot change reality, nor can it last. This hallucination or dream of being a body, getting old and sick and dying in the end has no effect upon reality, and is in fact long since gone. You did return home to your Father in Heaven, and everyone along with you.

The Great Awakening is taking place now. Now with Eckart Tolle and Oprah actually presenting and practicing vital aspects of this endeavor of awakening and transformation in front of the camera, and millions all over the world joining them, we are part of and are witnessing finally a true dream come true. It is the metamorphosis of the human species realizing its own futility and need to undergo a radical change of mind and heart and body. No one knows how this is going to look like.

One thing however will always be true: Each individual has to undergo this transformation individually by taking full responsibility for everything he or she sees. If there is one thing to learn, then it's this -- that there is only your mind, and nothing outside of it. If it were not so, salvation, healing and real communication were forever impossible.
.

You Want Peace, Teach Peace 

You want freedom, teach freedom.

Jesus ChristYou are a teacher. You are teaching in every moment of your existence what it is that you are. You have no choice in this. The only choice is -- what it is that you want to teach, based on what it is that you want to learn? However, it is not up to you to establish the curriculum. Free will means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.

You want peace, teach peace. You want freedom, teach freedom.

It is up to you to learn and teach "a better way", and to fulfill thereby your function in this Great Way to Salvation. This is God's plan for the salvation of this world. This is the celestial speed-up of what is inevitable. Failure is impossible because it is already accomplished. However, an untrained mind can accomplish nothing.

Start practicing. Make use of this material, train your mind to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world. Pass it on, join many others in a true and real purpose. Finally an exit portal has been opened for us all to leave the bondage of space/time. But it takes your active participation; your need and determination to see and experience something completely different. Miracles will direct you to persevere, forgive, be truly grateful for and love what you are given in this moment of awakening.


.

I see only the past.

" As I look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing.
I hold the past against everyone and everything, making them my enemies. When I have forgiven myself and remembered Who I am,
I will bless everyone and everything
I see. There will be no past, and therefore no enemies.
And I will look with love on all that I failed to see before."
(Review Lesson 7, ACIM)

 

I see only the past. This is a revolutionary new idea for our practicing forgiveness and healing in this present moment. Now. Here. In this instant. As a concept in itself it is meaningless, but the experience of the action of mind based on that direction is truly miraculous.



All Dreams Will End 

Why wait for Heaven? It is yours, for it was given you by God.

Awakening is inevitable. Tolerance for pain may be high, but not unlimited. This world is a place of pain and death, where those that claim not to know who they are can come a while and occupy their time with an insane cause: seek and do not find. And so they die -- until they change their mind about the purpose for which they came.

Why wait for Heaven? You came from Heaven, and cannot have left it, despite all the seeming evidence it is otherwise. You could not destroy yourself.

Enlightenment is no fantasy. Awakening, the end of suffering, unbroken and unlimited communication, resurrection and the complete disappearance of this world of separation, finding Heaven as your own perfect Home, all is given you. It is available in this instant for you to experience. It is all right here and right now. The power of decision is yours. What do you want? Here and Now.

You are not alone. You have all the help you can get. Change your mind about the purpose for which you came here. Just be here now.

A Course In Miracles 

How simple is salvation!

A Course In Miracles is the premier description and workbook of the inevitable awakening of each and every mind. A Course In Miracles is a course in mind training. Stunningly, fearfully, graciously, unbelievably, to your greatest surprise, A Course In Miracles is coming from the mind of Jesus of Nazareth, dictated through a small inner voice to Helen Schucman during the years 1965 through 1972. It is written in the most beautiful English language, offering an incomparable mirror of the condition of your mind, demonstrating its complete unreality, and how you escape this paradoxical and impossible situation of existence in space/time that is your very "life", and that to you, until this point in time may have been very real.

You are dreaming. What a relief to accept into your mind the fact that it is merely your dream from which you have already awakened. The way out of this conflictual state of mind in any case is the miraculous change of your mind and body by which you become aware of the truth that you never were a body at all.

A Course In Miracles is an absolute masterpiece. It offers a Textbook, Workbook, and Manual for Teachers. It is available on-line to download or read, and to buy all over the world, in many different languages, virtually in every bookstore.

It is about action, training your mind to a new perception of everyone and everything in this world. This transformation will be the undoing of fear, guilt and every other form of death to release you out into the universe to be who you are in truth. It is not difficult, but it is different. It is a course in how to know yourself. You are yourself. What else?

Real Choice Is No Illusion 

Heaven is the decision you must make.

"Real choice is no illusion. But the world has none to offer. All its roads but lead to disappointment, nothingness and death. There is no choice in its alternatives. Seek not escape from problems here. The world was made that problems could not be escaped. Be not deceived by all the different names its roads are given. They have but one end. And each is but the means to gain that end, for it is here that all its roads will lead, however differently they seem to start; however differently they seem to go. Their end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of them will lead to death. On some you travel gaily for a while, before the bleakness enters. And on some the thorns are felt at once. The choice is not what will the ending be, but when it comes."
(A Course In Miracles, Chapter 31.IV)

.

"Remember there is not, nor has there ever been, anything whatsoever to fear."

(Master Teacher)

 

What could possibly happen to us in this instant? Except maybe that we let it be and find peace of mind within us, because what we project ahead, into a "future" before us, or see behind us in a "past" that is over, is nothing compared to what is in us. What a threat! Yet there truly is nothing to fear in this instant.



Supplements to A Course In Miracles 

Dealing with the idea of "therapy", "forgiveness" and "prayer"

This little book inspires you to explore further the ideas involved in therapy, forgiveness and prayer. A Course In Miracles is truly unworldly in looking at our ideas. It never fails to offer a wholly consistent frame of reference. It always brings us back to the idea of God and Self, no matter where we may go. It is always about salvation. No other thing in this world can be said to cure. Now, in this holy instant I accept the truth, and it is done.

"Can you imagine what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for; to learn just that and nothing more."

"What you remember never was. It came from causelessness which you confused with cause. It can deserve but laughter, when you learn you have remembered consequences that were causeless and could never be effects."
(Chapter 28.I, ACIM)



My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

"I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with the past. What, then, can I see as it is?
Let me remember that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing."
(Review Lesson 8, ACIM)

 

What does follow from this? If you are preoccupied with your past thoughts, and everything you see is an outward picture of your thoughts, you obviously do not see anything as it truly is, that is now. That is the need to see anew, the need to see differently.

And here we stand, in this instant, asking for help. Asking for a new way to see. We are determined to see in a different way.



Only One Love Is 

Dr. Rabbit, Karyn & Reinhold

Based on the Christian teachings of A Course in Miracles, yet addressing as well principles of eastern tradition, Only One Love Is offers you a very personal opportunity for, let's call it, an unraveling of yourself. Yet don't be concerned, as a high level of reconstruction follows. And so I invite you to join with the author in a memory of descent into your apparent objective world of separation from everything and everyone; from God Himself (Day 1), recognition of the futility of the experience of separate identity, followed by your subsequent surrender (Day 2), and finally, though always only right now, your resurrection and recognition of your eternal nature (Day 3). --Karyn

Mary Baker Eddy 

What a revelation and great teacher!!!

"The admission to one's self that man is God's own likeness sets man free to master the infinite idea. This conviction shuts the door on death, and opens it wide towards immortality. The understanding and recognition of Spirit must finally come, and we may as well improve our time in solving the mysteries of being through an apprehension of divine Principle. At present we know not what man is, but we certainly shall know this when man reflects God.

The Revelator tells us of "a new heaven and a new earth." Have you ever pictured this heaven and earth, inhabited by beings under the control of supreme wisdom?

Let us rid ourselves of the belief that man is separated from God, and obey only the divine principle, Life and Love. Here is the great point of departure for all true spiritual growth.
...
It is difficult for the sinner to accept divine Science, because Science exposes his nothingness; but the sooner error is reduced to its native nothingness, the sooner man's great reality will appear and his genuine being will be understood. The destruction of error is by no means the destruction of Truth or Life, but is the acknowledgment of them." (Mary Baker Eddy, Science And Health)

Eckart Tolle's Work 

The power of now to bring about a new Heaven and Earth

Eckart Tolle is all about the present moment, the power of now by which you let your light, the light of your consciousness shine into the darkness of your egoic or conceptual mind, to realize, more and more fully, a reality that is hidden to your conceptual mind, but which is your real Self or the Life you share with God.

To find this reality is the happiest thing you could possibly accomplish. Eckart is so simple and clear. I guarantee you an experience of peace and joy by merely reading his material, or listening to, or watching him in his talk with Oprah regarding his new book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

Some say, there is no God in Eckart Tolle's teaching. Some see heresy and a threat to what they identified as truth. Yet, as Oprah in her talk with Tolle said, this is not about belief, or concept, this is about feeling something that is not accessible from the point of mere belief. You will find out for yourself what words cannot convey. It is an EXPERIENCE. Thank God.

Oprah and Tolle on YouTube 

It's a miracle. The world is waking up.

Awakening is inevitable. Yet the world does not want to wake up. Have you noticed how much Oprah is attacked for her love for A Course In Miracles and Eckart Tolle's teaching? Not much has changed since Jesus introduced his revolutionary ideas to us 2000 years ago. But we have no choice. We have to apply them individually and personally, and undergo the transformation ourselves. Everything else is idolization. No one can do it for us.

Behold, I show you a mystery... Now there is no death, for now belongs to God. Now is the time of healing, transformation, this instant a "miniature of eternity" (ACIM).

"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, n a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
(1 Corinthians 15:50-57)



God Is the Light in Which I See. 

Review the first 50 lessons of A Course In Miracles.

"I cannot see in darkness. God is the only light. Therefore, if I am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been wrong. Now it is given me to understand that God is the light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it will show me." (Review Lesson 44, ACIM)

The light has come. You have forgiven the world, yourself and God. You are free.

 

Solving and undoing our dilemma... God, Lord of the Infinite, being all-powerful, created us in His likeness. To say that my apparent existence in a body in space/time is His will, makes Him very little. Therefore, I go with the next idea: "I see nothing as it is now."



I see nothing as it is now.

"If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see nothing.
I can see only what is now.
The choice is not whether to see the past or the present; the choice is merely whether to see or not.
What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. Now I would choose again, that I may see."
(Review Lesson 9, ACIM)

 

"The power of decision is my own." The fact that I made the choice of "seeing" what I see makes it possible to choose again and see differently.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

A bright light cannot be hidden.

The great western and American master and poet of enlightenment and truth, Ralph Waldo Emerson, is loved for his famous essays like "Over-Soul", "Circles", "Friendship", "Compensation" and others. Yet he is also an exceptional writer of diary and journals. He is funny and honest, full of wit and inspiration.

"In the nature of the soul is the compensation for the inequalities of condition. The radical tragedy of nature seems to be the distinction of More and Less. How can Less not feel the pain; how not feel indignation or malevolence towards More? Look at those who have less faculty, and one feels sad, and knows not well what to make of it. He almost shuns their eye; he fears they will upbraid God. What should they do? It seems a great injustice. But see the facts nearly, and these mountainous inequalities vanish. Love reduces them, as the sun melts the iceberg in the sea. The heart and soul of all men being one, this bitterness of His and Mine ceases. His is mine. I am my brother, and my brother is me. If I feel overshadowed and outdone by great neighbours, I can yet love; I can still receive; and he that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves. Thereby I make the discovery that my brother is my guardian, acting for me with the friendliest designs, and the estate I so admired and envied is my own. It is the nature of the soul to appropriate all things. Jesus and Shakespeare are fragments of the soul, and by love I conquer and incorporate them in my own conscious domain. His virtue, -- is not that mine? His wit, -- if it cannot be made mine, it is not wit." (Compensation, Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Deepak Chopra 

For a new synthesis and integration -- East meets West

So many things Jesus taught seem to be forgotten, or have been completely ignored by the vast majority of Christians all over the world. In most cases there is a complete lack of understanding of what it means to "love your enemy", to be "not of this world" and have no place to lay down your head, to be "perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect", to forgive, to be the light of the world, to "let the dead bury the dead" etc. Jesus often said something like this: "The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." Did he really mean by this that we all are dead until we hear the Voice for God, and that this is going on now, and if I don't hear it now, I will continue to be dead, or sleeping?

This world is not what life is. It simply isn't. That is fact, not debatable. From this point many of the teachings of Jesus will immediately become accessible and clear. Thanks to Deepak Chopra there is shed a new light on what Jesus taught us all to do as He did. That alone should deserve your attention.

"Jesus is in trouble. When people worship him today - or even speak his name - the object of their devotion is unlikely to be who they think he is. A mythical Jesus has grown up over time. He has served to divide peoples and nations. He has led to destructive wars in the name of religious fantasies. The legacy of love found in the New Testament has been tainted with the worst sort of intolerance and prejudice that would have appalled Jesus in life. Most troubling of all, his teachings have been hijacked by people who hate in the name of love."
(The Third Jesus, Deepak Chopra)

Teilhard de Chardin 

Teilhard de Chardin's Vision of a Unification of Humanity: "A fresh kind of life is starting"

Teilhard de Chardin is an exceptional visionary with a very bright, clear and very broad picture of your common purpose and its realization, the joys and pains that are involved in our evolutionary destiny, which is to remember God and become who we already are. Teilhard de Chardin calls it Christogenesis as the final stage of Cosmogenesis.

"Unity: an abstract term, maybe, in which philosophers delight; and yet it is primarily a very concrete quality with which we all dream of endowing our works and the world around us.
Happiness, power, wealth, wisdom, holiness: these are all synonyms for a victory over the many. At the heart of every being lies the creation's dream of a principle which will one day give organic form to its fragmented treasures.
God is unity."

"To extend the kingdom of God to new peoples is well enough.
But it is still better, and more direct, to make it penetrate into the deep rooted 'thrust' in which Humankind's desires are today combining."

The French philosopher and Jesuit priest Teilhard de Chardin was strongly opposed by the Catholic Church. The following reprimand from the "Holy Office" from 1962, according to Wikipedia, is still official church policy to this day:

"The above-mentioned works abound in such ambiguities and indeed even serious errors, as to offend Catholic doctrine... For this reason, the most eminent and most revered Fathers of the Holy Office exhort all Ordinaries as well as the superiors of Religious institutes, rectors of seminaries and presidents of universities, effectively to protect the minds, particularly of the youth, against the dangers presented by the works of Fr. Teilhard de Chardin and of his followers."

We need nothing but the truth. Dogma does not serve us in any way. Let those that can hear, hear. You cannot make a blind man see. It takes a miracle to even see when we are off the mark. That is why Jesus said, "forgive them Father, for they do not know what they do."



Would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless "private" thoughts that are all past anyway?

 

Whose mind are you using now? Yours? What would be the difference between yours and God's?

Evidence of Physical Resurrection 

Satprem and Mother Aurobindo

Mother AurobindoMother Aurobindo as a forerunner of the human species underwent a most remarkable transformation involving her whole body and mind. Satprem, a long-term disciple and friend of hers documented her experience and observations. This is a revolutionary reading, if you can let this be an account of your transformation, because it is.

"A new world is BORN. This is not the old world being transformed; this is a NEW world being born. And we are right in the midst of the transition period when the two overlap, when the old still persists, all-powerful and entirely in control of the ordinary human consciousness, but the new slips in, still quite modest and unnoticed -- so unnoticed that externally it hardly disturbs anything -- for the time being -- and is even absolutely imperceptible to the consciousness of most people. Yet it is working, it is growing."

Only one instant, this instant, does this world endure. How do you spend it? What is truly valuable?



Practice giving in order to receive.

"To give and to receive are one in truth.
I will receive what I am giving now.


Close your eyes, and for five minutes think of what you would hold out to everyone, to have it yours. You might, for instance, say:

To everyone I offer quietness.
To everyone I offer peace of mind.
To everyone I offer gentleness.
"


(from Lesson 108, ACIM)

The Urantia Book 

The Story of Our Greatest Teacher in Its Most Detailed Expression and More -- The Uranita Book, Part IV, tells the story of Jesus

The Urantia Book is a most amazing and revealing book of insight not of this world. It is absolutely worth reading every page. It will blow your mind wide open to embrace a greater synthesis of life not as we thought we know it, but as a much more thrilling and all-encompassing idea and reality that is awaiting us to experience it when we make the decision to let all blocks to the awareness of love's presence be undone in our minds.

You want to know and find Jesus in your own heart and mind. This is great inspiration and help to integrate the teachings of Jesus in your own life. Part IV of the 2000 pages book presents the story of our greatest teacher, Jesus of Nazareth. His characteristics and qualities are many as he is with us always, but definitely - and therefore - he is the world's first and greatest quantum physicist and teacher of the power of now. Thanks be to Him. Enjoy...

"Jesus brought to God, as a man of the realm, the greatest of all offerings: the consecration and dedication of his own will to the majestic service of doing the divine will. Jesus always and consistently interpreted religion wholly in terms of the Father's will. When you study the career of the Master, as concerns prayer or any other feature of the religious life, look not so much for what he taught as for what he did. Jesus never prayed as a religious duty. To him prayer was a sincere expression of spiritual attitude, a declaration of soul loyalty, a recital of personal devotion, an expression of thanksgiving, an avoidance of emotional tension, a prevention of conflict, an exaltation of intellection, an ennoblement of desire, a vindication of moral decision, an enrichment of thought, an invigoration of higher inclinations, a consecration of impulse, a clarification of viewpoint, a declaration of faith, a transcendental surrender of will, a sublime assertion of confidence, a revelation of courage, the proclamation of discovery, a confession of supreme devotion, the validation of consecration, a technique for the adjustment of difficulties, and the mighty mobilization of the combined soul powers to withstand all human tendencies toward selfishness, evil, and sin. He lived just such a life of prayerful consecration to the doing of his Father's will and ended his life triumphantly with just such a prayer. The secret of his unparalleled religious life was this consciousness of the presence of God; and he attained it by intelligent prayer and sincere worship-unbroken communion with God-and not by leadings, voices, visions, or extraordinary religious practices."

Are You Ready to Ask Some True Questions? 

Look at where you find yourself now. You have the light with you.

Can what God or Universal Intelligence did not create, have reality to offer you home and peace? They probably told you God did create this world of endless problems and suffering. Yet how could that be true? How could a benign Creator have anything to do with this world at all? Does it make sense to you to live only to die, loosing everything you love and cherish? Where will it go? Where will you go? Do you really want to hang on to the idea that a loving and benign Creator can possibly know of this place?

Are you happy about what you seem to be here, when you think of your little self, wandering on this tiny planet, from an airplane high in the sky? From the other side of the Milky Way galaxy? Or any other place outside of this galaxy? How small can it get?

Did you have enough pain? However lonely, uncomfortable, fragile and fearful our existence may be, interspersed with moments of seeming happiness, at some point, you will say, "There must be a better way". At some point it will no longer be bearable to you to pursue your limited version of "happiness" while others die in the millions. Think of another nuclear bomb dropped on a big city next to you? Do you still have access to the horrible memories of those that came as victors into the harbors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945, not to speak of the Japanese memories? How can one live on after witnessing devastation like this? Or is it still a reasonable condition to explore?

Why wait for Heaven? Did you have a drug related experience of an expanded state of consciousness, experiencing freedom and happiness that is unthinkable within the narrow bands of bodily existence? Did you stand in awe of unbelievable beauty in rare moments of deep peace? Is it o.k. for you to have this kind of experience just a few times in a lifetime?

Are you alright? Do you feel and are aware of ongoing discomfort, uneasiness, conflict and fear in the "back" of your mind? Do you really think you will ever fit in where you find yourself?

Does enlightenment have to take life times of study, meditation and ascetic contemplation? Why? Who says so? Maybe you are simply tired of it all, and want a real solution. Happiness not resting on another's cost? Joy without opposite? Perfect happiness and peace that has no limit? Being completely capable of giving light and joy and peace to everyone and everything, thereby securing it for yourself forever? Being everywhere at the same time?

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
(Matthew 18:3)

Children live in the now. They don't worry, they don't plan. They know no past, and no future. The notion of time is learned, and not a reality.

What God Wills Is Now 

"No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth."

"Why wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion it is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past, or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you really want.

Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange world you made and all its ways; its shifting patterns and uncertain goals, its painful pleasures and its tragic joys. God made no contradictions. What denies its own existence and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not make two minds, with Heaven as the glad effect of one, and earth the other's sorry outcome which is Heaven's opposite in every way."

(Excerpt from Lesson 131, ACIM)

Jacques Lusseyran -- Truly Amazing Inspiration 

"The man who didn't die" tells the story of his love for life. Love is the answer.

"The man who didn't die", a survivor of the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald and brilliant writer, shows the keys of his way of life that was free from fear, full of love and miracles. In the end he trusted totally in God, and relied so completely on His Strength that there was no more accumulation of bad memories in his life. Only his trust in God could account for the consistency of his attitudes and his commitment to life, to truth, all reflecting his deep Christian values.
