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

MARKUS and SONDRA discuss Lesson #138, "Heaven is the decision I must make." A key lesson, this makes it clear that we have "made up a hell" which is our responsibility to bring to the Holy Spirit to undo. Never has this been made so clear as in A Course in Miracles. The responsibility for the kind of "world" we make or create is up to us. And all of our "hell" of anger, disease, war, conflict and problems" can be brought to the Truth to dissolve. 

SONDRA & MARKUS further explore the lesson #139, "I will accept Atonement for myself." Can we accept ourself as God created us? Can we let go of the self we made up? This is the crux of accepting the Atonement for ourself. Self-Identity is the main goal of awareness A Course in Miracles offers us.

MARKUS and SONDRA discuss Lesson #152, "The power of decision is my own." They explore the self-deceptions of sickness, suffering, guilt and even death, which are the choices we have made that defile our Reality as God Created us. Listen to this lecture and be clear that HEAVEN and life everlasting are our real inheritance.  We are responsible for a Decision for Heaven in our world. We can correct our misperceptions, and accept the Holy Power to be our true Self as God created us. 

MARKUS delivers a talk on A Course in Miracles in the Miracle Consciousness Training. Do we have the attention to give to Miracles? Or will we stay at the level of the mind that is preoccupied with survival and the continuation and improvement of the "personal self?" Join Markus as he explores this eternal question.

MARKUS discusses the Blessing of giving away what is valuable, and thus increasing it. The power of "I AM" has come down to us from wisdom immemorial. "Know Thyself" has been the edict from the wise for thousands of years. We have the wisdom and the power these words impart: I AM. When We share the positive aspects of our Being, we increase these qualities in our awareness. This is the true Blessing we all need in these times of uncertainty. 

SONDRA & MARKUS discuss Lesson #139, "I will accept Atonement for myself." Can we come to the acceptance of Who we are as God created us? We can remember our true Identity. Correcting this one mistake of "imagined separation" from our Self realization is all we need to correct. Is this decision something we want to do? Are we willing to make this major inner correction. Can we accept the Atonement and make a decision? 

MARKUS discusses the way the "unconscious death urge" manifests in our life. In the absence of our own happiness, we indulge in this "death urge." But the miracle demands we see "there is no death." Who we are as God Created us is immortal. What would we do if we see Life is certain, and the thought "Death is inevitable" can be changed. 

SONDRA & MARKUS explore Lesson #103, "God, being Love, is also happiness." It is made clear that happiness in our only Reality in Truth. All the other scenarios of life that fall short of perfect happiness are not part of Truth. We made them up in opposition to God, and to Love, and ultimately to having total Happiness. 

SONDRA & MARKUS discuss Lesson #280, "What limits can I lay upon God's Son." They discover the need to invoke the Help of the Holy Spirit. Giving up our "how to" list frees us from the "limitations" of our projected "solutions." Then the Holy Spirit can solve our "problems" effortlessly without the "limitations" we have imposed upon ourselves.  

MARKUS & SONDRA go into Lesson #93: "Light and joy and peace abide in me." There is an Identity beyond what the body's eyes can see. There is a Self God created, Who is your true Identity.  This Self abides in Light, Joy and Peace. There is no "sin" in this Self. All mistakes can be corrected in this Light. And this "correction" happens instantly when we embrace our true Identity.
