I am a lot happier than I used to be.

Now I have no religion. I study the word of Jesus from a book called the course in miracles.

The message contained in these pages has completely changed my life. It has taken me from believing in a judgmental punishing God to believing in a God that never makes any mistakes, a God that is unconditionally loving. A god who has a plan for the salvation of all of us that is going to work.

It has shown me that everyone is a precious part of what I am. It has allowed me to see everyone that I meet as a beautiful part of God deserving of my love and respect.

If your faith does not allow you to see each and every person you come in contact with as someone that you love with all of you heart then your faith is failing you miserably. This need not be.

Jesus asks that we love our neighbor, he allowed for no exception to this rule. Has your faith made this idea of love that Jesus left for us into a reality for you? If not, then why not. Was this not always the intention of our brother Jesus for us?

If your faith has not done these things for you then I suggest that you get a copy of the course in miracles and study it with me.

If you find the things that I am saying a bit hard to believe I can understand that. I have studied this material for over 7 years. At first glance the concepts it spoke of seemed at the very least, unlikely. They certainly did not match up with the formula consensus reality had given me to work out the problems that I encountered in my life. That really didn't matter to me by that time because the old formulas had not served me that well anyway.

If you are happy with everything about your life this is not a book that you need to be reading. If by chance, there are aspects of your life that seem to trouble you, then this is a book that you should be reading. If a 7 years ago you had told me that one simple book held the key to every single problem that I was faced with in my life, I would have laughed in your face, and thought that you must be a fool to say such a thing. Yet after working with the concepts that this book teaches, I feel more strongly about there ability set things right in my life than ever.

I came into this encounter with this material a jaded skeptic, who believed in nothing. I had tried, and rejected nearly every path, seeing truth in none of them. Yes, each seemed at first to be truth, but the initial lift that they gave proved not to stand the test of time. This material is different, It seeks to correct the errors in thinking that are currently causing the conflicts, and disappointment in our lives before they can happen.

It also shows the folly of approaching the idea of love from the conventionally acceptable way. That is, reserving love only for those we have judged worthy of it. It has taught me that this is not love at all, it is only judgment.


Love and blessings.

I am happy, and have peace in my life because I have God and Jesus in it. I sleep great when my psycho neighbors don't scream at each other.
