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

We are 100% responsible for the world we see. What can we do about it? We can decide differently. We can change our minds to be in alignment with the Truth of God's Peace and Joy. Heaven is held out for us to accept, and this power to decide for heaven is given to us by our Creator. This Podcast is about making this one Decision. This is the Power that we wield. We can use it now without delay.

MARKUS & SONDRA discus the last Lesson in the Workbook: "This Holy Instant would I give to You (the Christ) " to be guided in the ways to God's Peace and Joy. This is the "only way," it says. People may not want to follow in this way, thinking they already "know the way." But honesty would pint out our own gudance system" has been faulty—often leading us to conflict and war. Are we ready to receive another way? Once that acyually works for us? This Podcast gives the Answer.

MARKUS & SONDRA discuss the meaning of "sacrifice." What role does "sacrifice" play in us giving up the valueless for the valuable? We do not want to give up the "things of this world" because we still value them. We still think the "things of the world" are valuable to us, even though they have not given us the heavenly awareness God has for us. Let's let go of what is "valueless," and embrace the truth of our Spiritual Reality. There is no "sacrifice" in this "letting go."

Markus Ray gives a succint overview of the basic Corrections put forth in A Course in Miracles to reset and reboot our real realtionship we have with the Christ. A clear voice that awakens our awareness of our "Divine Nature" as God created us, Markus leads us through some basic "facts" that help us replace our "old thought system" of the ego with our real Thought System in the Mind of God. We are retored by listening to this Talk given on the Bali Quest.

SONDRA & MARKUS cover the Lessons 255-258. What is the Perfect Peace that is our goal as students of A Course in Miracles? Peace has no cares, no conflict, and no concerns. With this, we would have no defenses and we are in the "heavenly state." God is total peace and joy. For us to make the attainment of this our one and only goal is to be a true student of A Course in Miracles.

MARKUS & SONDRA RAY discuss lesson #36: "God is the Love in which I forgive." What is the truth about forgiveness. This Lesson gets to the deeper truth of this practice of forgiveness.

Markus Ray discusses Lesson #161: "Give me your blessing, Holy Son of God. " Hate is specific, it says. We use our specific "enemy" to be our "savior" in this Lesson. We ask the person we have condemned to give us their blessing, and in so doing for us to see our " perfect sinlessness" in them.

MARKUS RAY discusses the last few Lessons in the Workbook that impart the Peace of God in our actual life. In the midst of our lack of harmony with another, can we rejoice to know "no mistakes have any real effects on our true Self." Sin is impossible. Forgiveness rests on a certain base. This Podcast is a full examination of recent events that only seem to be a result of "separation." It is a miracle in Real Time that can be received in this Podcast.

How would the Holy Spirit respond to someone's inappropriate behavior? This Section I in Chapter 12 of the Text of ACIM shows us what to do. "Only loving thoughts are true, and everything else is an appeal for healing and help." Do we know how to respond to a situation in the right way? We may not. Therefore, can we turn over any difficult situation over to the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit's response that can restor Love and Unity.
