What I think is kind of funny about today’s A Course in Miracles lesson is that it kicks off with them saying they don’t expect you to understand it intellectually. This gives me hope because trying to explain this when I only have some idea of its meaning, is kind of difficult! This lesson follows […]
A Course in Miracles
Lesson 8 – My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts
I was actually able to understand today’s lesson, straight from the original book (go me!), and it really gets you thinking! But today I will kick off with Pam Grout’s explanation, which simplifies it beautifully! She refers to an online store she buys her shoes from. She knows that she wears a size 9 shoe […]
