Everything is really going great here with us in Venezuela.
Martha and I are back in Maracaibo celebrating in a  4 days event with morning and evening sessions
your resurrection, this time organized from all brothers together of the 4
Course groups here in Maracaibo. We are invited to teach in two other places
besides the Centro Milagros where we are staying, and it is for the first time
that they organize something together.

 After Caracas we visited the nearby city of Maracay and opened up all these esoteric and magic ideas of salvation. It’s always the presence in the Light that works and lets each one recognize one Self and themselves. At the end of the two day visit there, hosted by Grace and supported by Zoila and about 15 – 20 other
interested Course “students” and teachers, it became very clear to everyone
that we can no longer pretend to be fine in a non-existing place, this world.

We moved on to Coro where it was for the first time that an
Advent was organized and Zelibeth, our host, gave the best she could to
communicate in a way that facilitates the miracle of an Advent. She had Yelitza
from Punto Fijo as her helper and her family, her husband with her two grown up
students who helped her throughout the weekend and the scheduled sessions
before and after this two days event. The first day on Saturday in Hotel
Cumberland was for many visitors new in their experience and we could feel that
most of them were a little timid, but on Sunday the ice broke and a huge
seemingly never ending Light celebration let everyone have a very nice
Experience. On Monday we were invited at one group in Punto Fijo (about 40 min
away) and on Tuesday in a school at Maria Estel’s group where there were out of
the 70 people about 20 new visitors. Using a microphone with regular electric
shocks just let me laugh more and it was a very nice round-up of all kind of
perspectives of what this Course in Miracles offers. Though this group is set
up as a study group there, my teaching of “there is nothing to understand…
anything offered with a result in time is not what this Course is offering…”
was accepted very well and applauded. At the end there were still a 15 guys staying
all through the Light session, and that is really everything! It was also
really great to have some brothers from the Center in Maracaibo there with us
as the Light Team. You can really tell the difference.

The following weekend we spent in Barquisimeto and our host,
Rosa, arranged for us a special accommodation in a huge villa right outside the
city in the tranquilo (calm) and green hills, a Finca of one of her friends. We
had the whole house with about 6 bathrooms, swimming pool and breakfast veranda
where we watched every day the Master’s videos. Evening session happened in a
rented place in down-town and the Advent in a (to a courtyard) half open room
in a community center. It was all perfect and great, and removing the gigantic Christ
hanging on the cross on the wall was not so difficult as it first looked like.
There was just little participation, about 30 people throughout the weekend,
but there was consistency and lots of willingness to join and experience the
Light. After the weekend we looked with our host how to refine the
communication so that she doesn’t need to solely rely on herself organizing
such an event, and the last session happened in a house of one of the brothers
who wanted to offer her place for on-going sessions. We were very happy to see
that a commitment to get together for sessions was initiated, and the brother s
will follow their commitments to this new offering. Until now they only came
together in Advents and sometimes for reading the Course. The form we offered
with one or two teaching a session, watching the videos and join in the Light
with music seemed to be a great attraction and didn’t need much promotion.

We thank Our Father for using us to extend this message of
Jesus’ Course in Miracles and will move on Monday to Santa Barbara in the mountains
for 2 days and then arrive in San Cristobal for another Advent in Venezuela and
many more sessions.

To be continued…

After having spent Christmas and New Year in the Academy in Wusterwitz, Germany, and a very small and intimate but very bright experienced Advent in Bünde in the north-west of Germany, hosted by Steffen and Manu, I followed invitations in Spain.

Martha came to join me in these endeavor and we traveled together from Valencia to the Costa Blanca (Benitachell) to Murcia and Madrid. In all these places there are brothers with a dedication to wake up and join in the truth of their already being awake.

In Valencia we stayed for two weeks and the Advent was well visited. Besides the weekend we offered sessions twice a day and a few brothers (Maria Angeles – our host, Mireya and Paco) were very consistent in participating in the sessions besides many others 1-3 times a week as best they saw fit to come and release themselves from their daily work and family situations. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed the old city center and invitations of our brothers Maria Angeles, Encarna, Marilis and Mireya. Newcomers as well as already well-known brothers from previous visits started or renewed their dedication to join in the Light of God and make their declarations.

In the Finca at the Costa Blanca our visit triggered immediately a huge wind storm after last years rain storm, and we laughed together with our host Guido about the unpredictable nature of the dream. Guido was with a few old friends present at this weekend Advent and almost a dozen brothers came from Valencia. We stayed together in an old country house where also this picturesk Miracles Center is located.

Paquita came from Murcia and escorted us to her home town about 1.5 hours south where we offered the brothers there a few sessions in the morning and evening for 3 days. On the first day we also visited Bullas , a group of new brothers, and on the second and third day they all started to come and we had a wonderful joining. Part of our visit was also to share our experiences how to communicate within the brotherhood and release grievances. The consciousness there was recognized as extraordinarily high and just needed a boost in the confirmation to step in fully and teach this Course in Miracles and share the Light of God’s Mind.

In Madrid we were very welcome and our Advent was truly a blast of Light and Joy. Pepa, our host, was well organizing our coming and served us in any possible way. After we had enough of staying in the littleness of Madrid’s apartments we were invited to stay in a house about half an hour west of Madrid. Besides Pepa we had Ana, Isabel and Jesus who took care of us, but also Gustavo and many others were constantly in service to help and make it possible and beatiful to offer this message of our Awakening to Madrid. After the Advent we visited Arenas de San Pedro in the mountains where a few brothers meet also regularly in sessions, and it was wonderful to see the Light of so many seemingly “new” brothers who were really old associations on their way Home.

On our last station before returning to Wisconsin we had the most incredible Advent at the Academy in Wusterwitz, Germany. Many brothers from all over Germany and Poland with a few from Austria (more than 50 all together) joined together in the remembrance of the one Self. Also other teachers of God found the opportunity to teach and it was a very fine “representation” of Jesus making a personal appearance. Sabine and Pravata with all the rest of the dozen residents as our hosts there gave everything to prepare this incredible place for our coming. A lot of gratitude was expressed for this much dedication and love. The Light of Heaven shining so brightly was a worthy reflection of this much energy given to each other. A truly extra-ordinary place to join or starting ones transformation of mind in a 40 days commitment, a space of safety in the Heart of the Christ to remember oneself, a timeless instant in a space where the miracle is seen as a very natural occurrence. Wonderful!

I want to thank each and everyone whom I met on this journey and share the blessings of Our Father and the Light of Christ-Mind with all and everyone. God bless us all. I love you very much. Thank you.
