Course of Love, shares her experience with A Course in Miracles, the theme of the conference (Change your mind/Change the world), and says, “As we become new the world becomes new.” She speaks of how Jesus sets in motion our movement from fear to love, talks of Christ and Christ-consciousness, of why the heart is the focus of this new course, and of its radical call to elevate the self of form. (30.14)

Part 2     “Who are we?” Mari Perron addresses this question and how we come to know who we are. She speaks of the “knowing that comes of being it,” of both ordinaryRead More

and extraordinary ways of knowing, of callings, and the call that, through a dream, stirred the great longing and desire that led her to the reception of ACOL. “Longing is our proof of love’s existence,” ACOL says. “The toughest part,” Mari says, “is loving ourselves as who we are,” yet in doing so, we “restore ourselves through love and resurrection.” We keep the heart of who we are as we join in union and relationship and create union and relationship as a new state of being. (30.10)

Good Grief: Grief and the Spiritual Journey  It is the Western way to want to feel in control, even of the spiritual path; to achieve, even spiritual states.  Grief is beyondRead More

our control. In grief we enter into unthinkable states of being. We use language, likebeing “flooded” with grief, that acknowledges this.  The loss of control found in grief, is why it is so disconcerting…and so similar to true spiritual experience. (7.19)

Our Hearts Know the Truth

We can’t get anywhere—there’s no movement until the truth is on the table. A Course of Love is about the truth of who we are. (1:07)

New Ways of Knowing and A Course of Love  Mari talks of the receiving of A Course of Love as a new way of knowing, how new ways of knowing are experienced, and where we’re headed.  This emergent knowing—of union, of the Christ-Self, of the heart—is ungraspable knowing. (7:46)
