 Lord's Prayer  as translated by George Lamsa

 Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy Kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

As in heaven, so on earth.

Give us bread for our needs from day to day.

And forgive us our offenses,

As we have forgiven our offenders.

And do not let us enter into temptation,

But deliver us from evil (wrong,…

     Most of the great religions were formed during the time period of 500 BCE to 650 CE, such as Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. However, Judaism and Hinduism were already in full swing by that time. The rest of the time period heavily had to do with the attractor patterns set up by the great Avatars at that time.

    The Christian religion formed during that time period, the most populated religion at this time. Many of the teachings of the religion, of course, had to be tailored to…

Yesterday, we went to a large park nearby the hospital as one of recreations. I believe that was the last time we had a chance to view cherry blossoms in their best condition. It was cloudy, but I was able to take some nice pictures, so I want to share them with you :) …

This is the picture taken in the garden of my hospital. This is a large old, well preserved cherry blossom tree. We are looking forward to seeing the blooming every spring.

I go to psychiatric hospital for about five years. At first, my ex-lover was…

Good day, everyone.

This is a new experience for me.  Not only am I a new member, I have not previously participated in any online blogs of any sort.

But, this is different. 

I feel the need to connect, to dialogue, and to grow spiritually with integrous people.  I look forward to growing and expanding with you.

About seven years ago, when I traveled to Sedona AZ for the purpose of visiting Dr. Hawkins, he suggested to me that I choose an "integrious spiritual discipline and stick to it." He suggested A Course in Miracles. So I did.

Now I share that gentle disciple with all who have an ear to hear. I host  ACIM groups gatherings in the Chicago area. Join me...all are welcome...

You're Invited!!!

Love Lecture ~ Sept 17, 2011

Our love for each other is not different then our love for God~ Dr Hawkins

 …

On Saturday Jan 7th from 10:00 ampm until 12:30 pm I'll be sharing a talk on The Five Signs, personal mystical experiences that led to the embracing of the practical spiritual disciplines as taught by Dr Hawkins and A Course in Miracles. This event will be the prelude to a regular weekly group gathering, beginning in mid January.

It was 1974 and I was twenty-four years of age at the time. My own history up to that point was one like so many stories of a young street thug, growing up in a working class Chicago neighborhood, discouraged and disillusioned by the mediocrity and grind of what life had to offer.

    That there had to be something better was always a predominating thought. So 'better' for me, was the excitement and the radical comradity of our little clique of thugs, always plotting, always stealing,…

As I reflect, my life, upon,

Take measure of lesson’s learned;

The values pursued along the way,

From whence did boundaries come?

Sought I, along existences’ path,

That which I thought was true;

Arrived here, the last gate…

I felt much the way you do, having had awesome experiences that still the mind. All becomes Awareness, yet, regretfully, I have also experienced  many, many different levels (down to 75 and below). Yet, my joy is love. I can feel it when I walk in a room or out in the country. Love permeates the air and geogrhraphy around me…even in someone’s office or just changing a flat tire. Joy! Joy! Joy!. The field is clearly around my being and I sense I reside somewhere there. (Love) Although I still…

I've been listening to Dr Hawkins today in my car, on the way to my Scuba exam.  I had the sudden realisation of how fortunate I am. That God is the "isness of life" as I realised this a beautiful peace washed over me. I pray that you all experience this.

The Doc has pointed out several times that, although it is folly to try to calibrate oneself, one does tend to have a fair idea where they reside in their LOC's, yet I haven't met any discerning, self-honest devotee who has had this awareness, including myself. Oh, sure, I have had spiritual experiences that reside anywhere from the 75's to the 900's. But they are not my LOC. What I seem to be aware of is that I just love being in the field of love and try to let that…

"The key to painless growth is humility, which amounts to merely dropping pridefulness and pretense, and accepting fallibility as a normal human characteristic of self and others."…

Are you still thinking that spirituality will deliver you the ultimate prize: enlightenment?

Don't delude yourself. Be spiritual, but see spirituality for what it really is: an entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.

Said Nisargadatta Maharaj: “Later I understood the meaning of spirituality and came to the conclusion that it is as discardable as dishwater.”

Hello all... I am new to CP.org and looking forward to virtually meeting all of you!

As a practing psychotherapist, I was wondering if anyone in CP is using muscle testing in their psychotherapy practice. Throughout the last five years, I've woven truth testing in all phases of my practice, with stunning and amazing results.  I do not actually use my clients physically for the testing, nor are they aware of my commitment to consciousness diagnosis and treatment.  Yet, they…
