“If you will lay aside the ego’s voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts that give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind, that has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in Its messages.”
I just finished listening to a wonderful talk on YouTube by Richard Rohr on what the Catholic tradition calls contemplation and we call meditation. The sentence above encapsulates all he said, and it delighted me to hear a portion of another of the thousands of forms of the universal curriculum, as Jesus calls it in the Manual for Teachers. It also delighted me that those of us who are Course students do not walk alone on the road Home.
Let us indeed be still and listen to the truth, however Holy Spirit whispers it to us.
Blessings,
Mari

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
