Os has a wonderful item today– I just needed to share. The path to unconditional love absolutely requires us to forgive..and compassion to be able to step into understanding other people’s motives and actions. December 29 You have heard that it was said, “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I tell you: Love [...]
As posted on Quest For Balance I know you’ve heard it… but have you LISTENED to it? Really? I know, I know… you don’t have time… you’re at work… you’ve heard the song a bunch of times… who the heck cares about idealistic, hippie crap, like World Peace? Not like it will make a difference, [...]

WORKBOOK EPILOGUE This course is a beginning, not an end. Your Friend goes with you. You are not alone. No one who calls on Him can call in vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer, and will gladly give it to you, if you simply turn to Him and ask it [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 363 (Same as 362) This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace. And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 361 This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace. And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I [...]
WORKBOOK FINAL LESSONS – Introduction Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. To Him [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 352 Judgment and love are opposites. From one come all the sorrows of the world. But from the other comes the peace of God Himself. Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 343 I am not asked to make a sacrifice To find the mercy and the peace of God. The end of suffering can not be loss. The gift of everything can be but gain. You only give. You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 342 I let forgiveness rest upon all things, For thus forgiveness will be given me. I thank You, Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made. It is not real. And You have given me the means to prove its unreality to me. The key is in my hand, [...]
Another timely item. I can attest, first hand- that relying upon the importance and value of money in your life often will cause an upheaval of the circumstances that brought on the reliance. Heed Mr. Hillman’s lesson well— review your motives behind your actions, especially regarding this aspect of your life- if you find the [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 338 I am affected only by my thoughts. It needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear. Now has he learned that no one frightens him, and nothing can endanger him. He has no enemies, and he is [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 336 Forgiveness lets me know that minds are joined. Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception’s ending. Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 335 I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness. Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 333 Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here. Conflict must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 331 There is no conflict, for my will is Yours. How foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his damnation, and be left without a certain way to his release? You love me, Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 326 I am forever an Effect of God. Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy Thought that never left its home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As You created me I have remained. Where You established me I still abide. And all Your [...]
“You have to change the way you live in the ecosystem and the place that you share with other living things,” says William Ruckelshaus, founding director of the Environmental Protection Agency. “You’ve got to learn to live in such a way that it doesn’t destroy other living things. It’s got to become part of our [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 323 I gladly make the “sacrifice” of fear. Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt, and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain, and [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 322 I can give up but what was never real. I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God’s ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. [...]
I strongly agree with much of this document, which is to be found here: http://rabble.ca/news/2009/04/declaration-cuman%C3%A1-capitalism-threatens-life-planet 1. Capitalism is leading humanity and the planet to extinction. What we are experiencing is a global economic crisis of a systemic and structural nature, not another cyclic crisis. Those who think that with a taxpayer money injection and some [...]
First, what you think is White or Black, as I have said, is arbitrary. It may not seem arbitrary at all, however. A really serious player of the Game of Black and White totally convinces himself that White is, without a doubt, good and desirable, and that Black is, without a doubt, bad and undesirable. The truth, of course, is that good and bad are ways of thinking about things.
WORKBOOK LESSON 315 All gifts my brothers give belong to me. Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment. I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive. A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone speaks a [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 313 Now let a new perception come to me. Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so that fear has gone, and where it was is love invited in. And love will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of Christ look on a [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 312 I see all things as I would have them be. Perception follows judgment. Having judged, we therefore see what we would look upon. For sight can merely serve to offer us what we would have. It is impossible to overlook what we would see, and fail to see what we have chosen [...]
