I have never been much of a Course In Miracles fan. My early exposure to it was with some pretty fanatical people who were looking for more ways to assign guilt and shame for what we've done or hadn't done. So I cataloged CIM in that fanatical psuedo spiritual space that much of the New Age Movement of the late 80s turned out to be. Then I met Gary Renard. I met him because a friend bought me a ticket to one of his workshops. When I arrived and discovered that it was based on CIM, I almost left on the spot. But I've been around long enough to understand the serendipity of the Universe, so I stayed. In addition, it was a long drive and I didn't have a ride home.
Gary was one of those rare people who said things that just resonated within me. At the end of that day, I felt better about myself. When I apply the things he discusses in his books to my life, my life is better. And yes, I am still getting around forgiving some of those New Agers of the 80s. But it is okay. It is a pretty good idea that I practice forgiveness; it always benefits me. However, I don't HAVE to do it.
That I can forgive myself for those things that I have or haven't done has been the most profound discovery of my life. And I thank Gary Renard for sharing that with me. He showed me a doorway to peace and doesn't make me feel bad if I choose not to walk through it.
There is no force more powerful to move us toward peace than the power of forgiveness.There is nothing that will get us there faster.There is nothing that we need more profoundly at this time in our evolution than to undo the ego. Gary's book provides the imformation needed to find the path to PEACE and to remember who we truly are.His message is courageous and it works for everyone.
My life has been dramatically changed by using true forgiveness as explained in this story and I have exerienced positive trasnformation
beyond my understanding.Thank you for bringing us this message of
healing and peace.Our world would be transformed beyond recognition, in a moment,if we would all practice this true forgiveness for just one day.
I can think of no greater contribution to our spiritual evolution.
