Demon Goddess
Bumping this message to the top to reopen the discussions along the same and completely different lines.
As those of you who have been waiting for me to bump this up, can wait no longer.
I started my Course in Miracles journey through the sudden development of a relationship with my spirit guide Melody.
Melody in turn led me to begin reading the book by Gary Renhard; The Disappearance of the Universe, which was described as the Dummies' Guide to the Course in Miracles by the individual Melody sent me to to get it.
That book, which I have been reading and discussing with my hubby is a little more "user-friendly" than the course, which I have begun, albeit slowly, on my own.
I have come to recognize when a miracle is occurring because there is a fold in time that precedes them.
This weekend, I was at an agricultural fair, here in Lac Brome, Quebec. And a miracle occurred.
We were at the Fair's end of year party having a few drinks, chatting and generally enjoying each other's company when a discussion of Melody came up. One of the fellows at the party is a chainsaw carver. He cuts sculptures into wood using a chainsaw. He's very talented. He had done a carving for someone; an alligator, and another block of wood decided that it wanted to be a turtle so that the alligator would have a companion... I told him that I'd love for him to find Melody in a block of wood for me...
Then I told him about Melody, and her importance to me and the world and yesterday morning, he came to my husband and told him to tell me that Melody had decided to come out of a block that he'd had on site.
Shortly after lunch he brought this carving to me. Where I was expecting the pure carving of a frog, he brought a carving oddly enough, in the shape of a tarot card/frog, on which you could see the "face" of Melody. The energy that emanates from this carving is incredible.
The most incredible thing to me is that the expression in the face is exactly the same as that on the face of the card that Melody showed me of the Page of Wands when I asked her to choose a card to represent her.
I will get Greg to take a photo of the carving, first chance I get, and hopefully one day YOU may get to see it in person, but the spirit that emanates from this seemingly unassuming block of wood is miraculous.
The course itself is interesting... bizarre in and of itself. The exercises make little to no sense unless you understand the basic premise of the whole reason for doing them. So I highly recommend reading the book The Disappearance of the Universe as a "Reader's Digest version" for those who are intrigued but not ready to jump into the exercises...
It is my intent to use this thread to discuss the concepts that are presented in the course and indeed in the book Disappearance itself, and to see if we can all work together on this little journey.
I'll be starting a live workshop with some friends this week, and will try to report in this thread what comes of those discussions, whether they be questions or answers... who knows.
I have come to believe in things that were entirely beyond my scope previously because of this book.
Where Jesus Christ was a myth to me previously, he has come to exist. I have come to learn that time is not a horizontal line that spreads out over the ether, but rather everything that is happening is happening now. There is no "past" there is no "future" there is only now. I have learned (although not entirely wrapped my head around) the fact that all of my past lives and all of my future lives are all occurring simultaneously because of this time is now factor. So, anything that I do in this life, inexplicably alters and changes all of those other lives.
I was living a life of fear and anxiety as it pertained to my bank account a few months ago, and although, my financial situation has not entirely changed a great deal yet, how I feel about it has.
I have believed in God for a very long time, believed that I held a spiritually personal relationship with God, but have been pleasantly surprised to learn that it is far more personal and far more close to home than ever before. Melody has been a great inspiration in leading me along this pathway.
I look forward to talking about the whole thing...
So... If you're doing the Course in Miracles or simply reading Disappearance of the Universe or SOME OTHER book that is based on the concepts of the Course... Feel free to chime in... Ask questions... lets discuss these concepts and see if we can't do some heart and mind connections and make some miracles happen.
With Love
