Message from Bastiaan:
My name is Bastiaan Berende and my goal is to help you find your true voice through practicing and teaching A Course in Miracles.
I invite you to participate in a Time to Teach A Course in Miracles Teleseminar. It will be a unique event.
I want to inspire you to use writing as a teaching tool or as Lisa Natoli puts it as a tool for spiritual growth.
My native language is Dutch and I regard English as my second language. I have written lyrics for songs and I have written some poetry. When my life got complicated I began writing my thoughts down in notepads. Since then writing has been instrumental to my awakening. A couple of years after I found the Course, I moved to the US. I have lived there for ten years now and I have written articles for a couple of newsletters. I always write for myself as I reflect on my thoughts, expose my grievances and plan and communicate my projects. I have started to write essays about the stages of my awakening last year. These essays will soon be published in a book. This is when I began reading books on writing and it has given me some valuable insights I would like to share with you now.
What I learned is that:
Writing helps me to organize my thoughts and to learn lessons from the past. Writing makes things stand still and makes me appreciate my encounters and relationships with other people.
Writing grants me a deeper understanding of who I am and why I am here as I turns my attention from the meaningless outside to the meaningful within.
Writing heightens my awareness and steers me away from destruction. Writing urges me to admit when I have gone insane and when to ask God for help and forgiveness. Writing exposes my hidden thoughts and helps them to heal.
Writing can inspire and guide others and witness to the miracles in my life. Writing makes room for grace and gratitude and helps to see things for what they are, simple and clear.
With these last thoughts in mind I want to introduce you to Lisa Natoli from Gorgeous for God. Lisa will be the guest speaker/teacher for this event. I am excited and honored to have her on this call with me. She displays an amazing clarity and character in her writing. She has the gift of telling you exactly how it is. She is an inspiring teacher not only through the written word, but she speaks with absolute certainty of her understanding of A Course in Miracles. She demonstrates how to live a life of uncompromising commitment to the truth. Here she is.
Guest speaker
Lisa Natoli is the author of the best-selling book Gorgeous for God, which is based on the principles of A Course in Miracles. She has been writing daily for over 35 years on anywhere she can think of to express an idea: cocktail napkins, paper journals, postcards, blogs, notebooks, letters, greeting cards, chat rooms, email, and facebook.
Lisa will teach us:
• How to use writing as a tool for spiritual growth.
• How daily writing is a great practice for overcoming fear and doubt.
• How writing can help you recognize unwanted habits to allow them to be transformed.
• How to find your true voice.
• How writing about every day events can make you become more honest and a better communicator.
• How writing forces you to look for beauty in the mundane.
• How writing can be a great excavating tool for bringing up old fear, desires, wishes, goals that have been buried, dormant, and unrecognized.
• How writing can help you become more conscious and aware.
• How writing can help you emerge from your old limiting beliefs.
