A blog about experiencing personal peace

This post focuses on romantic relationships and the love and union it symbolizes. It suggests some principles couples can use to transcend their sense of separate interests and experience more closeness and connection. (The title is taken from P-2.II.8:4.)

This post is about experiencing personal peace by letting go of grievances, through non-judgment and through recognizing how the thoughts in our minds color our perceptions.

As the year draws to a close, the Christian world celebrates the season of Advent and then Christmas. In this blog post, I bring in ideas from Buddhist tradition and from A Course in Miracles on cultivating joy.

Today is the one year anniversary of an interview I did with Matthew McCabe and Tam Morgan, the co-hosts of my favorite podcast, “Miracle Voices.” If you would like to hear the interview, you can find a link to the episode in the post.

We are all either in the quiet center or wandering about in what I have been thinking of as “the hinterland.” This posts describes some hinterland experiences I have been having over the past year and how to find the way back to the quiet center.

This post is inspired both by the season of Advent and by Chapter 5 of A Course in Miracles, titled, “Healing and Wholeness.” Right in the introduction of the chapter, we learn that healing, joy, love, and union with one another and with our Source are all tied together.

This post is simply a brief announcement of an interview I did with Valeria Teles, who invited me to speak with her as part of her podcast, “Fit for Joy.” The blog post gives the link to the interview.

The title of this post is drawn from the part of the Catholic Mass in which those in attendance wish one another peace. Since all minds are joined, to give peace is also to receive peace.

This last post of 2021 is a meditation on the light within our minds found in Workbook Lesson 75 of A Course in Miracles. The post has a brief first section introducing the meditation, and then a longer “deeper dive” into the background of the meditation drawn from the Lesson instructions and from other parts of the Course.

This post and my last post are recent examples of Course-style forgiveness from my own life. They are dedicated to Judith Skutch Whitson, one of the first students of A Course in Miracles, who passed away peacefully on October 19th, 2021 at the age of 90.
