Here is a talk I gave yesterday about A Course in Miracles. I have not listened to it and I have no idea about the sound quality. I hope it’s okay. I was on my cellphone.

Good Morning Lisa,
Here it is Lesson 223. And I am not. This has been an amazing adventure with you. I began the lessons with a total commitment and full endeavor last June and wow. You have given me everything!!!
There is a thought that the Course rewrites itself and in my case I have whole new pages that have never been ” seen” before. How did I get here? A Miracle. I am what I read, I am the words on the page. I am not separate anymore. And the Course has lit up with the truth of who I really am, who I have always been and where I am could only be seen as heaven .
WHAT IS FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness recogniezed what you thought your brohter did to you has not … ( see that… NOT occurred) YES!!!!!!!!
IT does not pardon sins and make them real.
IT SEES THERE WAS NO SIN.
OMG!!!
YES!!!
And in that view are all yours sins forgiven.
What is sin?
except a false idea about God’s Son?
Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore let it go.
What then is free to take its place is not the Will of God.
YES! OMG !! There it is…

God is with me.
He is my Source, the life within , the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. He is my home, wherein I live and move and have my being, ….is something I have never experienced before and here it is.
He is the Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain.
Look at that … AMAZING.
He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Son he shines upon, who also shines on Him . How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!
Father, we have not words except Your Name uponour lips and in our minds, as we come quitetly into Your Presence now, and ask to rest with You n peace a while.

And here … God Is My Life. I Have No Life But His.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
Thank you Father.
Thank you.
Wow, Lisa the pages of the text and the lessons light up with One Thing now… and I love that the beginning of the Introduction says …
Words mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend.
FOR NOW WE SEEK DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF TRUTH ALONE.
Is this blog site worth a $1.00 a day?
You bet your sweet bippy it is!
Is it worth $1OO. 00 a day … OMG …Yes.
Will anyone who commits totally receive what the Course promises, daily moving throught the fear and resistance and denial that this is even possibe, never mind True.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Positively,
Guaranteed.
Yes.
Lisa, I know you know what is in my heart and mind… and thank you does not do this justice…
Love,
gem
These Lessons bring one from time to Eternity in revelatory moment… wow.
OMG… what’s free to take its place… is …NOW ….THE WILL OF GOD…
TYPO… not NOT…
LOL…
LMAO….
OH THIS IS FINALLY FUN… Out of hell of my own making… LOL… I did this to myself… and everyone is freed along with me…
I love it…
wow

OH MY GOD!!!!! Today’s Lesson 14 today is the greatest!!! Lisa I love you! This is amazing. The Holy Spirit is working through you. Knowing you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m happy again! Gem is right. Thank you doesn’t do it any justice but thank you anyways. wow.
Hi Lisa … I LOVE this lesson .. and you were right … Jesus doesn’t leave you in that “dark” place … if you are willing to feel and face the illusions in your mind, you find you have turned a corner. This is awesome .. and again, thank you for holding the flashlight. I trust you because I know that you know this path and I’m getting it on a whole new level. Today I can just throw all of those scary thoughts on to the fire. YOU ROCK !!
Greetings:
Yesterday I read on Gorgeous For God (FeedBlitz): L 13 – Preview of Membership Subscriber Blog about people complaining that Lisa is charging $1/day for new 2009 blog. Financially, it hasn’t been a good year for me. My car needs repairs ASAP; a pile of unexpected bills needs to be paid ASAP; etc; etc. Not a pretty picture. On Jan 3, I got Lisa’s email about the 2009 lessons: $1.00 a day; $30.00 per month! Truly, the best bargain of the Century!!! I absolutely LOVED the few sample lessons that followed. But the nagging question kept coming up: Am I able to commit myself in these unpredictable times???
Allow me to tell you a bit about myself. I saw the ACIM book for the first time in a bookshop about 5 years ago. “Another religious gimmick” I thought and kept going. Several months later I saw it again in another store. Then I met this guy. He was an ACIM student!!! I had no idea what he was talking about, but he was intelligent, had a great sense of humor and was very interesting. We met a few times for coffee, just to yak. We talked about books and such, but he never failed to mention ACIM and how it has changed his life. I listened politely. (I read plenty of inspirational books. They were exciting at first, but practically, they never worked).
Then he moved to another state and left me a gift: the BLUE BOOK. I put it on a shelf where it remained unread for a year. Eventually curiosity took over. I began to wonder what this book was all about. I started remembering how genuinely happy and peaceful my friend was, and, he was too intelligent to read religious junk. So I browsed through it intermittently and eventually began to do the lessons. It was tough to do it on my own and I gave up. That was in 2006. The following year I got to know about a local group that offered weekly ACIM sessions. I went 4 times, didn’t feel comfortable and left. Then I saw an ad for another group; went there 4-5 times and left again. I did however continue with the lessons, but quit once more.
Last year I joined an Internet group and started the Course for the 3rd time. I looked up some other internet groups as well. They were all OK but kind of dry and somewhat lusterless. In July or so, quite by chance, I came upon the Gorgeous For God site. It was a total revelation! I was a serious child. Other girls played with dolls. I read books. As I was growing up, other girls started flirting with boys. I read books. And so it was with ACIM. I took it very seriously, and apparently, so did the 2 previous groups. Without fail, someone would start talking about a problem he/she had, and others would join in and talk about theirs: whining; whining; whining. As little as I knew about ACIM then, I began to realize that this was NOT what the Course was all about. But, I could not find my way and I knew I needed help.
And then came Lisa and she turned my world upside down, literally!!! Lisa IS a treasure trove of light and laugher; wisdom and knowledge; of incredible dedication and is indefatigable in her quest to lead us ALL to light and truth. Yes, she is a tough, disciplined, no-nonsense teacher, and, she is the type of teacher I want.
These thoughts were churning in my head for days. I was considering continuing with the lessons on my own. After all, I’ve reached almost half-way through, far more than ever before. Why would I want to start anew? And so it went: blah; blah, blah. I was confused, conflicted and agitated.
I woke up at 6am on Jan 6 with a very clear thought: “JUST DO IT!!!! At 7am the money was on its way to Lisa (via Paypal). It felt sooooo good!
And so I just wanted to share my own experience here for anyone who is worried about money. I know you are concerned about money, but consider this: at my first group, the donation was $3.00 for 1 hour once a week. At the 2nd group everyone paid $5.00 for 1-1/2 hours once a week. You do the math!!! Please!!!
Lisa is asking for $30.00 per month for access to her lessons every day, any time you want, as often as you want, day or night, from the comfort of your home, with your PJs on or off. You don’t have to travel anywhere and you save money on your tires and gas. And, you are not alone anymore!!! You have a fantastic teacher and a companion who offers you total access to your queries and “problems.” The $30.00 a month is the most generous, the most selfless, the most magnificent GIFT I ever got. I treasure it, and so will you! If you really want to see changes in yourself and want to be joyful: JUST GO FOR IT!!!!
And one more thing to consider: Lisa is tireless and totally committed to her function as a Teacher of God, but like all of us she has to pay her bills and has other financial obligations. She gives us ALL so much and asks for so little.
In conclusion I’d like to add that I was always a harsh judger (I am aware of it now and am working on it every chance I get). I would never say what I said above unless I really meant it. And I really do, with all my heart and with a profound gratitude. I hope you will join me.
Love to all ….. Bella
Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to drop you a line (or lines) to keep you updated on my progress. I love the new blog. Something different is happening this time around with the lessons for me. I think it’s a direct result from giving my total attention to the lessons and also probably the fact that I’m reading your blog posts everyday with the lessons. Anyway, I’m doing my best to face my fears and I never realized how hard it would be because I never allowed it to happen. But what I was noticing with yesterdays lesson is I had to force myself to practice the lesson. My initial thought was always, “I don’t want to think about fears”. Like I’m afraid to think about fears. But then I let them come up and face them. It’s like having the courage to go into battle. I realized though when I face my fears that the fears I have aren’t actually things that are happening to me. Most of them are things that happened in the past or things that I’m afraid might happen and so the fear actually goes away. I don’t have anything in the present to worry about and the present is all I have. Good news, right.
On a lighter note, I interviewed for a part-time job today as an activities assistant at a nursing home. After reading my resume and my application she really only had one question, “Playing games and doing arts and crafts won’t be a problem for you, will it?” LOL. I thought this must be a rhetorical question, but I answered anyway saying, “no, in fact I would enjoy it” Sounds like a pretty sweet position don’t you think? Getting paid to play. She hasn’t said I’ve got the job yet, but the impression I got was since my drug test was negative and as long as I don’t have a criminal background (and I don’t) I’ve got the job. I’ll let you know.
Love, Carrie
Lisa,
I found your pod casts on ITunes, and have been doing the daily lessons, and reading the text, then listening to your podcast on each chapter. In fact, you were my inspiration to quit skipping around and read the text straight through. The podcasts are really helping me understand the text.
I have had ACIM on my bookshelf for 10 years but never really understood it, so it has been collecting dust most of that time. I followed along with Eckhart and Oprah’s webcast on a New Earth, and after that my attention was somehow redirected back to ACIM, during the summer. I began doing the lessons on my own, then found you in the fall. The podcasts are so encouraging. I am beginning to see and feel the miracles, and most importantly, to live in the present. I thank you so much! I hope you continue to post podcasts. They have been so helpful.

It’s a Lisa Love Fest!!! WOW!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! Thank you all for these incredible messages. Wow. It’s Christmas morning, and Easter and my birthday.
The best part for me (after getting over my initial guilt to charge for the new blog) is to see the difference in those that are paying. It’s like night and day. I’ve been blogging for free for over 4 years with only a handful of individuals writing to me, commenting, or witnessing miracles.
I could only finally take my own advice, and STOP MY OWN ROUTINE and say: okay, I can blog again for free, but I’ve already done that for 4 years. How long do I keep going before I change direction and do something differently?
Talk about terror! Talk about guilt!
But I stood in the fear. I stood in the guilt. I said, that’s it. I want to find out who’s serious. I’m not the entertainment committee. I want to know who my readers are, and specifically, who is serious about doing the work.
I could never in a million years expected what came next!!!!
Suddenly my email box is brimming with light and love and joy and letters of gratitude, everyone undergoing tremendous changes, practically overnight.
So, as always, this is for me. To really have the courage to do something differently, to trust, and to allow new changes to occur.
I love you.
Lisa
