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

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 of pain. We can unravel the thoughts that have brought about pain; we can choose JOY in the midst of any pain we have subconsciously asked for. 

WHAT ARE THE GIFTS OF GOD? Do we receive them? Sondra & Markus discuss these gifts that we are entrusted with in this life: Peace; Happiness; A Quiet Mind; Certainty of Purpose; a Sense of Worth and Beauty; Care; Safety; the Warmth of Sure Protection Always; A Quietness that Cannot Be Disturbed; a Gentleness That Never Can Be Hurt; a Deep Abiding Comfort; and a Rest So Perfect It Can Never Be Upset. Can we receive them and be aware of their presence in our life? This is our challenge in order to merit being entrusted with these gifts. 

This is Lesson #164 in A Course in Miracles. We can make contact with the inner Altar of the Christ within us. We bring our mistakes to the inner Christ who can dissolve our problems and give us the correction of the Atonement, and a new frequency of innocence and truth. Join SONDRA & MARKUS  who bring us to Divine Joy and Liberation through the Love of inner correction. The Divine Gifts are ours when we correct the errors in our mind. 

In this discourse, SONDRA & MARKUS explore and complete their discussion on the 10 Characteristics of God's Teachers. Defenselessness; Generosity; Patience; Faithfulness; and Open-Mindedness are the remaining five Characteristics. Join them in this dialogue on these lofty qualities that are required to make contact with Christ's Vision that is ours to use. 

In this sharing in the first Podcast in Season #2, SONDRA & MARKUS further explore the "characteristics of God's Teachers." Tolerance, Gentleness, and Joy are 3-5 of these Characteristics. Giving up judgments is part of Tolerance. Giving up cruelty, harm and hurt is essential to being with Gentleness. "Joy is the inevitable result of Gentleness." When we trust that no harm can come to us, there is Pure Joy. We walk with the Christ in our perfect holiness, in the correction of our mistakes. 

This is the 50th Podcast in this Series #1 of Miracles For You with Sondra Ray & Markus Ray. What are the Characteristics of God's Teachers that give us Christ's vision? SONDRA & MARKUS discuss the first two Characteristics—Trust and Honesty. What are the stages in developing Trust? These stages show us what is needed to develop Trust in our process of Spiritual evolution. What is real Honesty. Join them to explore these stages in developing these Characteristics. 

SONDRA & MARKUS have a dialogue on one of the most powerful Lessons in A Course in Miracles. "Now we are one with Him Who is our Source." The realization of this Lesson #164 would transform our world to Heaven on Earth. We would leave the world of judgments behind. We would leve our past behind. We would have to forgive ourselves and everyone else completely. Join in this conversation that can help you undo your resistance, and step into the frequency of Christ's vision that is yours to apply right now to your world. 

This incredible Lesson #163 in a revolutionary statement we all need to hear. Sondra and Markus go into the powerful transformation this Lesson makes possible in us. The unconscious "death urge" is exposed and dissolved in this dialogue. Beyond the "body" there is a Spiritual Identity that never dies. Immortal in its nature, your Self is unaffected by the concept of "death." 

"I AM AS GOD CREATED ME." This Lesson is repeated three times in A Course in Miracles. (Lessons #94; #110; #162) Sondra and Markus delve deeply into this lesson and the gifts it gives us. We have the choice to see ourselves from the ego's perspective, full of problems and plans, or see ourselves as God created us, with Christ's vision. The miracle in the lesson is the catalyst for us discovering our True Self, which is problem and conflict-free. It is our Identity, and our responsibility to live by.  

Our Identity is Divine. We can strengthen our awareness of this fact or not. This Podcast helps us do that. Sondra and Markus discuss Lesson # 124 in A Course in Miracles: "Let me remember I am one with God." Join them in this discussion on our Divine Connection—how to make it and strengthen it.
