Everything feels soooooooo different to me now that the Master Teacher is gone!!
I feel really alive.
Now that he’s not limited by his body, I really feel his presence, like he is standing over me, sitting with me, watching me … 24-7 … smiling in that way that he does.
Last night I was sitting on my bed, playing with my cats – I was really happy – and I could feel him with me, watching in amazement, like “wow, she is not in conflict anymore. It worked. They heard me!”
I feel like he’s watching me type right now and he is thrilled that his job is accomplished. He did it! We learned what he was teaching! He got through our thick skulls!!
The darkness is gone!
I feel like he is laughing out loud, realizing that all his teaching efforts were a total success. I am happy with no grievances!!
A few years ago he said: “I can’t leave until I know at least one of you gets it. I need a sufficiency.”
He would always say: “No one wants to do this” (to let go of your grievances and to be as God created you: pure light).
Then he would say (um … yell): TALK TO ME! I can’t know where you are in your own mind if you don’t talk to me!
And then always: “No one is hearing this. You’re not hearing me.”
And it’s true: I’d be at peace for a moment, and then back to my conflict. I couldn’t hear a word he was saying. I didn’t have a clue what was being asked of me.
Until finally .. one fine day … I could hear everything clearly! I saw in its utter simplicity was what being asked of me! Just love! Give and Forgive! Let go of your grievances! Shine bright! Be happy!
The Master Teacher is a Teacher of teachers. He was here only to extend his knowledge to us that we would accept Jesus’ message in its totality in order that we could begin extending this message to reach others.
It’s not about teaching words, it’s about accepting and living the message of Jesus in your own life where you suddenly one day realize there is no fear in you anymore, and that your mind has been completely changed, and that you offer only love.
In the Teachers Manual, it says: “The teachers of God come from all over the world. They come from all religions and from no religion. They are the ones who answered. The Call is universal. It goes on all the time everywhere. It calls for teachers to speak for It to redeem the world. MANY HEAR IT, BUT FEW WILL ANSWER. Yet it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It is because of this that the plan of teachers was established. Their function is to save time.
“It is because of this that the plan of teachers was established.”
Last night I was reading Chapter 3 and it says that “right perception is necessary before God can communicate directly to his altars, which He established in His Sons.”
It says in the 50 Miracle Principles: “Miracles are everyone’s right, but purification is necessary first.”
I never knew what that meant, until quite recently. Nothing really happens until you are completely purified of all your fear-based human attack thoughts. “Innocence is not a partial attribute. It is not real UNTIL it is total.” You must be purified of the grievances and all the fear.
A Course in Miracles is a systematic purification program.
Of course any path will work – eventually – but it is my experience that A Course in Miracles is a fast track. It undoes all your fears by the simplicity of you reading and practicing the lessons of the workbook. What could be simpler??
A lot of people “wait” to have an experience. They are waiting for angels to appear in their living room or for God’s Voice to speak to them in some dramatic booming way. But for the mass majority of people, this never happens. 99% of the population do NOT have a death experience, and enter into the light, and then come back to live it. Most people have no idea how to reach this state.
The lessons of A Course in Miracles will bring you there. Guaranteed to work every time, for anyone with some willingness to practice.
That’s why I love it.
Because it works consistently.
But do you want it????? Do you want to be at peace?
Last night at Starbucks, I asked one of the baristas what it would be like to be happy all the time, and she scrunched up her face and said: THAT WOULD BE WEIRD!
LOL.
I used to have some experiences of peace and joy when I would meditate, but the experience was never consistent and not always dependable. I was always “reaching” for some other “higher” state, but I never really knew if I would attain my goal. Meditation did not always make me joyful. Sometimes it just frustrated me. Sure, I always felt more peaceful, but it never really brought me any dramatic experiences.
I WANTED SOMETHING BIG TO HAPPEN!
And that’s why I love A Course in Miracles, because big dramatic things happen all the time.
Yesterday I was talking to a friend and were were saying how before we got to the Academy we both used to be really good at manifesting and attracting. I was great at it. I was used to attract all sorts of cool things: money, shoes, and plane tickets were my specialty.
But then I got to the Academy, and I stopped having the ability to manifest and attract things. It all just stopped dead in its tracks. All my “prayers” for things no longer worked for me. Suddenly I seemed to find mysef in “poverty” and “limitation” even though I was mostly happy all the time. It never really bothered me, because things never brought me much satisfaction anyways.
But lately … my friend and I both agreed … everything is exploding! The manifesting and attracting is back, but now it is purified! Now it’s huge. Mind boggling things have been happening to me over the past two weeks. Synchronicity that is leaving me breathless and speechless.
And so what I feel like is that YES, YOU HAVE THE POWER OF MIND TO ATTRACT. Absolutely. Everyone has this ability. But it’s so limited.
And so you ask for something new to occur, and you begin a process of purification, and during the process – all the things you used to attract stops. It looks like the program you are following is failing miserably!!!
But it’s like you are being re-wired. Like all your circuits has been disrupted. All systems shut down. You are being rebuilt!
And then when it is finished, you’re like a live wire! I’m over here laughing because my life has entered the twilight zone these past few weeks. I’m attracting big things now, but these “things” are not for me alone anymore … they are for the greater good of all.
So, it’s a very exciting time right now.
A tremendous shift is occurring for the whole world – and it has been slow coming but now it is exploding. KA-BOOM! We are standing right smack in the middle of the shift, witnessing it first hand.
I love it.

Lisa Natoli, you are awesome! What a post. I recall an earlier post when you said that the Master Teacher had commented on your lack of grievance. That was the “move on” sign.
I think many who are ready for knowledge have experienced manifesting directly. I’ve experienced it both perceived as good and bad. When I was bored with life I would create havoc to give myself a challenge. It seems to stop when you reach a point when you understand what you don’t want but really don’t understand what you do want. Then the ability to manifest seems to return with force when you fully know what you do want, namely the truth.
Kaboom is it! Let’s all love it together!
Lisa, Thank you for everything! I wanted to share that as I’m working through the workbook lessons, I notice that if I’m out and about doing my thing during the day and I can’t remember the specific words to say/think, all I have to do is just remind myself of the existence of The Course, and I instantly feel peace. It’s like an anchor for me…or a rutter…just depends on where I am and what I need in the moment.
Smiles!

Lisa,
You hit a homerun. There are so many parts of me that know that this is the absolute truth. Thank you and God bless you.
The very last interaction I had with the Master Teacher was last Sunday, 10 days ago. It was his last session. He was playful, happy & relaxed, and he was laughing like crazy.
Then he got this look of wonderment on his face, and he was looking straight at me (I sit on the floor, directly in front of him) and he said:
“You don’t have any grievances any more, do you?
and I said: no, not really.
And he said: that’s an amazing thing.
His last words to me.
And his very very last words, as he walked out of bible that day were:: “If i have to be here, at least I’m doing what I LIKE!!”
with an emphasis on the word LIKE.
He loved to teach.
He used to say it all the time: “I love to teach.”
He went out happy, that’s for sure.
