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

"I AM SPIRIT" is the shortest lesson in ACIM. (Lesson #97) It is only 3 words. It is a pure statement of SELF-IDENTITY. We can rise to embrace this reality even while here in this physical body and dimension. Can we use this Lesson to connect with the truth of our SPIRIT? We have to make this direct contact with who we are as God created us. The knowledge of being Spirit is to bring us above the "problems of the world" into the realm of perfect PEACE and JOY.

     Spirit am I, a Holy Son of God, free of all limits, 

     safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, 

     and free to save the world. 

On Valentine's Day we expect LOVE to prevail. And usually we go out of our way to make that special someone feel more special. Well, what if GOD is doing that for you, not only on this day, but Every Day! We are sustained by the Love of God. We cannot get this more, especially on this day. To see that GOD = LOVE = JOY is what makes the Universe expand, this is the real Divine Connection in which we realize this ever sustaining LOVE. We wish you to have this awareness today. Love, Sondra & Markus

SONDRA & MARKUS discuss the holy instant. What is it? What is its purpose? How do we invoke it? The Little Willingness in the text shows us exactly how to invoke this powerful, and practical device to give our life a holy direction. The LESSON "This instant is the only time there is." #308 is related to this invocation. Your "little willingness" to invoke this Power, and ability to step aside and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit without your own intervention, can solve any of your problems. 

SONDRA and MARKUS discuss Lesson #272, "How can illusions satisfy God's Son?" The illusions are fear, anger, guilt, pain, suffering and death! We can make a decision not to defend ourselves when we have our real Divine Connection to our Source. This is the "Heaven state of Mind." This discussion leads you there. 

Sondra and Markus discuss Lesson #152, "The power of decision is my own." What does it mean to make a decision with the operating system (OS) of the Holy Spirit? What are the benefits? How can we let go of the OS of the ego? These are essential questions we all face in turning our life into a Heaven on Earth. 

SONDRA and MARKUS discuss Lesson #156. We have to make contact our Divine Connection, and be well aware of our own Holiness. Listen to this Dialogue and make this connection for yourself. 

SONDRA and MARKUS explore Lesson #155 and the action of "stepping back." What does that entail? And who is the "Him" Who will lead the way. Can we silence our thought to hear the Christ within as the guide we follow to lead us on the road to our Perfect Happiness? 

On this Inauguration Day in the USA, January 20, 2021, Sondra and Markus discuss Lesson #154, "I am among the ministers of God."  Within the context of whatever we are doing in the world, we have a function to bring Peace and Joy—union, not division—to the daily work we do. We are among these ministers of God as one of "Heaven's Messengers" in which we awaken the Peace and Joy in ourselves first. Divine Happiness is the message we are to embody. Our extension would be a message from the Clarity from the Holy Spirit. 

What are these "Gifts of God" and can we go beyond the projections of fear and conflict onto our world, and a use the Gifts to form our real world. We have to make a new "movie" according to the "Gifts of God."  SONDRA and MARKUS explore these Gifts amidst our everyday life. Can we find and accept these Gifts of God and transform our world? 

SONDRA & MARKUS discuss joining our awareness with Christ's Presence in us. LESSON #157 is "Into His Presence would we enter now." We are asked to leave the world behind and enter into the dimension of Heaven now . This is accomplished in the present, and depends on our determination to meet this Christ Self. Climb the mountain of awareness into the boundlessness and space of Christ's Vision in this dialogue.
