The cosmos exists because you are asleep and dreaming (T-10.I.2:1). When you wake up the cosmos will no longer exist and since you are part of the cosmos, you will no longer exist either. And since you no longer exist, there will be no memory of any dream. The cosmos is merely what nothing wouldContinue reading “Your Dream of Nothing is Nothing to God”

This is not to beContinue reading “A Course in Miracles Lesson 171”
Undoing Self-Hate
In a newsletter yesterday I wrote about kenosis and self-love. It’s easy to talk about self-love, and hard to actually practice it.
