God’s peace and joy are mine (Lesson 105) Let me be still and listen to the truth (Lesson 106). In our practice it is good to make space to sit quietly and give attention to what appears in the interior – the thoughts and feelings, the underlying belief system, the void from which it allContinue reading “A Course in Miracles Lesson 118”
