Thoughts with Mari: Lesson 47
My favorite author is J. R. R. Tolkien, who wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. In one of the works which his son Christopher has published, one of his characters has this to say about trusting in God: “It is not defeated by the ways of the world.” That is the kind […] Read More
Thoughts with Deb: Lesson 46
As with the last lesson, we are not thinking with God on a regular basis so we do not choose to love on a regular basis. As Jesus tells us, we need forgiveness in this world because this world is made on the premise of fear and in truth does not exist. In God, there […] Read More
Thoughts with Gayle: Lesson 46
Hi there, Last night in our Thursday class, I shared that when I label anything, I make it good or bad, true or false, acceptable or not acceptable. It is my judgment through labeling that makes it so whenever I am aligned with ego. The other day, it was bitterly cold, wind chill drove the […] Read More
Thoughts with Mari: Lesson 46

I know personally, I don’t like the thoughts I come up with sometimes. A slight judgment, a remembrance of a mistake from the past, and so on it goes, yet these are not […] Read More
Thoughts with Mari: Lesson 45
I guess I was ready this morning, as I found this lesson easy to practice. No, I didn’t have any flashes of insight or sublime experiences. What I did have is simply peace, as I let the attributes of God come to mind, all of them peaceful, gentle, and fearless. I am grateful. “Under all […] Read More
Thoughts with Deb: Lesson 44
Unexpected occurrences do not have to keep me from remembering that God is the light in which I see. It is mind training Jesus is accomplishing with us. I can ask myself, “Do I want to train my mind?” or “Do I like the way my mind is now?” Excellent questions for self-reflection. Obviously for […] Read More
