| ACIM Talk: Chapter 1 - The Meaning of Miracles |
| 2008-07-01 01:10:53 |
There is no order of difficulty in miracles... All expressions of love are maximal. Welcome and thank you for visiting Spiritual Apostle where we will be looking at a Chapter from the Text of A Course in Miracles together. The PREFACE is a helpful place to begin if you are new to A Course in Miracles, consider yourself a beginner, or even if you've been studying the course for 20 years. The Preface is a complete overview of "How It Came," "What It Is" and "What It Says" and both of the following websites offer services (many free ones!) to aid you in your practice online and in person:FOUNDATION FOR A COURSE IN MIRACLES FOUNDATION FOR INNER PEACE This course is a beginning, not an end. Your Friend goes with you. You are not alone. No one who calls to Him...

| Concept for Spirit: Remaining Humble |
| 2008-06-15 10:34:28 |
Lately I have had a big dose of drama in this so called life. Taking from what I have learned these past years in the realm of spirituality, I have been able to overcome much of the drama and maintain a sense of inner peace. Even though I have reached this point, it really doesn’t stop life from happening and situations from testing my resolve. Deep inside I know that this is the way it is supposed to be, and I have held firm to my faith that everything is going to be okay and there is a blessing in every situation. With all that has gone on for me the past few years, month, weeks, and days there is no room for being lazy or losing faith. Staying the course to truth is not for the faint at heart, but somehow it has become my path, and on this path I hav...

| ACIM Talk: Chapter 2 - The Separation and The Atonement |

DOING TIME...AGAIN AND AGAINI can not tell you how many times I have felt this way. That I am "doing time." A Course in Miracles is one of the greatest gifts I know of, and yet sometimes I can not even read it, let alone apply its consistent lessons of forgiveness. The Course has the efficient ability to challenge us on many if not all levels and consistently offer us a way out of our perceived hell, but is not always the easiest guidance to accept. We want to learn how to live like Jesus and emulate those we believe help us, yet can easily be fooled by our ego's one desire to remain self-governing. I have this wonderful spiritual guidance at my finger tips almost all the time - A Course in Miracles in addition to the many other paths available - and yet I find there can still be much resi...

| Concept for Spirit: Making Affirmations |
| 2008-06-15 10:34:19 |
Bookbag - you can't tell me what to do! Originally uploaded by TheeErin Affirmations are words or phrases that you say to yourself over and over again to suggest an idea, in order to reprogram your mind to notice opportunities to make the suggestion become true. My first experience with affirmations was when a family member gave me a book called Heal Your Body. I had been going through some tough times with my health and this book was very helpful in my understanding of the way that my body works, plus I have developed an understanding of how thoughts can heal. In this book are a list of health problems, the probable mental pattern that caused the problem, and the new thought pattern to say to yourself to heal from your ailment. What really ...

| Concept for Spirit: Meditation |
| 2008-06-15 10:34:08 |
Dana meditates Originally uploaded by elle_rigby Hello and welcome! This Concept for Spirit post is going to explore an important concept that everyone should become aware of called meditation. Meditation is an exercise for your mind that you do by sitting in silence. You can read more about the science of meditation at Wikipedia here, where you’ll find that there are many different forms of meditation, and that prayer is also a form of meditation. The overall goal in meditating is to silently concentrate and quiet your thoughts for you to ‘just be’. Meditation has been shown to have healing properties, is excellent for stress relief and emotional release, and is one o...

| ACIM Talk: An Introduction by Renee' G. |
| 2008-06-15 10:34:04 |
“Use time solely as a means to regain eternity.” –A Course in Miracles I was introduced to A Course in Miracles in a book I was reading in my early 20's called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. There is only one quote in The Power of Now from A Course in Miracles but it is so brilliantly put (in my opinion) that after 5 more years of meticulous seeking I found myself picking up my own copy of one of these "heavy" blue books! Here is the now well known and frequently used quote that attracted me to A Course in Miracles.Nothing real can be threatened.Nothing unreal exists.Herein lies the peace of God.In my experience the statement Nothing real can be threatened is very comforting, but when contemplating Nothing unreal exists sometimes my mind begins to scramble! And then it is returne...

| Concept for Spirit: Lucid Dreaming |
| 2008-06-15 10:33:36 |
Lucid dreaming is quite an interesting subject.If you don’t know what a lucid dream is, you will find that it is a dream in which you are aware that you are dreaming. You can read more here. The interesting part is that in a lucid dream, since you are aware that you are dreaming, you can tap into that awareness to take control over your dream. This is at the very least a fun exercise to try. More importantly however, lucid dreaming can help to put you into a position of control over what dream situations you expose your subconscious too. Suggesting to yourself certain ideas while lucid dreaming can have real affects in your awake like. If you read my post on Quantum Reality you will know that “life is but a dream”. If we can learn to be more aware ...

Star in front of my window Originally uploaded by darkpatator I know I’m not alone when I say that life can get tough sometimes.For me, an extremely low point in my life came for me when I divorced my children’s father. I was very disappointed in myself for not being able to make my marriage work, and for not keeping my children’s father with them. All in all, I know I made the right decision, but I still took it pretty hard emotionally. I felt like something was wrong with me and was feeling very disillusioned. I didn’t put two and two together at the time, but I also started to get really sick at that time too. I was constantly at the doctor’s office, on medications, in bed, unable to enjoy my children and my life. It was at this time that I was also coming to terms w...

| Concept for Spirit: Quantum Reality |

quantum ripples in chaos Originally uploaded by Kalense Kid Why are we here? Where did we come from? What is reality?Many of us have asked ourselves these basic questions of existence, but has anyone ever given you an answer? Many have tried, and I believe that many have succeeded. How many of you have LISTENED to the answer? What IS the answer? Couldn’t the only possible answer in fact be The Truth? Do you think you could handle the truth? Would you want to if you could? Asking life’s big questions only seems to bring up more questions! But seriously my friends, I have invested my time into finding the answers, and I’ve journeyed to the rim of the rabbit hole of the unknown, only to sit here today conveying this message to you as a matter ...
