Real Life Impact Podcast

Sinlessness is when the desire to attack is gone. This section gives a hard look at how are thoughts and attacks hurt us and others. When the will of God is not this, so why would we make this choice to attack and live in this struggle.

In episodes 179 and 180 i read in the course about The Holy Ground We Stand on with our brother. And the Holy Ground was mostly referenced when we were in some sort of disagreement or attack mode with someone else. Talking about it today because we often face this in our life.

Some days seem like a struggle to keep in a positive mindset. Many people really struggle with mental health and emotional health issues. My mindset is far from perfect but the Mind of Christ in the Course of Miracles teaching helps with my mindset.

In the world most people feel attack and defense is what keeps us safe. In God's Truth Innocence is what makes safe. We do some strange things to get to results that dont work. God truth is available to teach us what works.

I was listening to episode #160 about doing a real estate open house up north and having time to listen to several podcast on the Course in Miracles and I thought it is a good time to talk about "Learning Periods".

I was relistening to some of the recordings this past weekend and they were an instant boost to my mindset. This 200 show is a reminder to go back and listen to the shows again. A couple of my favorites were on the Holy Instant and Littleness vs Magnitude.

"God builds the bridge, but only in the space left clean and vacant by the miracle." Thats from the text and then the question is have I left space clean and vacant for this to happen.

The course in Miracles asks very little of anyone following it. It asks to give up illusions and see others as sinless. It asks that our function is forgiveness, so is this little to ask?

To expand on the peace of God shining in you, the Love of God is within you and you can feel the love now!

The lesson for today is that the peace of God is shining in me now and I thought this is a great message to share with you to start your day and your week!

Each choice is a choice for littleness or magnitude.  The ego would have us stay in littleness and give littleness to others.  The Holy Spirit holds our magitude untouch for us and can always help us decide for God. 

This section covers that we settle for littleness when God has Magnitude for us. Littleness does not content us and is part of our reason for lack of peace that we experience. Only Magnitude will content us.

Reflections are seen in light and in darkness they are obscure. The call is to stop doing what does not help or heal and allow the Spirit of God to shine from you and me to all the world.

Continuing with the there of GUILTLESSNESS I am covering the section on the The Circle of Atonement and our part in this circle.

Being freed and experiencing healing has been made difficult unless we can understand the release from guilt.  The release from guilt for ourselves and others is available as we look with in.

My daily studies the last couple of days have been about ending guilt and guilt is something that does plague us and we probably spend way more time then we would wan to add up guilty or making others feel guilty. Jesus came to free us from this.

God's voice speaks to us all through the day, but if we do not hear this voice is because we either dont know its their or dont choose to listn. Many of the challenges and trials we face "need not be" ... the voice of God is there to lead you out of your trials and challenges.

After several weeks away from doing a show I am back. I am summerizing the last two days lessons and reminding you that you are the work fo God and His work is wholey lovable and wholly loving.

Much of our attempts at forgiveness is not true forgiveness.  True forgiveness sees the other person as a child of God.

The past is over but one of the biggest hindrance to the present is we bring the past with us.  Its hard to foregive when we bring the past with us.

This is a title of a section of chapter 29 of the course. This changeless dwelling place is available.

In A Course in Miracles the Solution to your sickness, fears, pains are presented over and over. Yet what may stop them?

A miracle is the undoing of what is not real and what never was in God's reality.  Stand on holy ground with yoru brother and forgive and undo the error of someone. See with Christ's vision.

What are your dreams. Are some of your dreams of what you perceive not real? What is a Happy Dream?

All through out the day we are offered opportunities to practice for giveness and release ourself and others from the past.

The Voice of God calls lovingly unto your brother and in him sleeps your salvation.

We have two choices for path. The path to heaven or the path the leads to no where. The little hindrances can lead us to no where.

We talked about Specialness in our last message and today I read from the section explaining how the Holy Spirit can use your Special function to turn specialness into Salvation.

I listed to a video about playing offense in business. I think with this current market playing offense is likely the key to success.

Semi often the course writes something such as "the course requires very little of you"...what do you think? And here is why.

Long day of viewing and signing listings and I have one more appt tomorrow morning on the wide area swoop so staying in a hotel instead of heading home.

Lately many of the Zillow calls we get seem more like pran calls then real buyers.
