Travel Reports on Tour October 2007
10/3/07
Here is my first report after having been in Austria.
Since Dear One comes in the first November week to Mataro I changed all my plans w. Austria. We had this past weekend the Advent and had every day session at Claus & Claudia’s place in Rekawinkel, 1/2 hour west of downtown Vienna, and after having received the extension of my visa for another 3 yrs already last Thursday and traveling on Monday into the Austrian countryside to meet my mother and sister (which were very beautiful moments) I traveled on yesterday (Tuesday) to Madrid, Spain where I will be for another week before continuing to give myself away at the Finca (Guido’s place) with Bettina south of Valencia, in Murcia (Paquita’s place) and then to Valencia before traveling up to Mataro and be with all the brothers and Master….
Claus & Claudia in Austria gave their best while still taking care of their jobs and cute Ana Maria who is growing up very rapidly. They look really great and are still determined to experience a miracle in their letting go of their jobs and coming to Wisconsin. We had a good meeting about this too.
During the Advent and the sessions there came every day a few new guys though we were about 10-12 guys in each session, and all together through the week around 25 maybe. But I am glad that I just need ONE to go Home. The Light was exquisite though, and they all joined in and had a great Experience. I am very grateful to all of them though there is a lack of communication obvious with the new interested guys who mostly haven’t even started the Workbook lessons, but are rather curious to the light, and then go back to their world.
Stef and Clare arrived Saturday afternoon and are such a blessing to have them around. We did the Sunday celebration together and they are such incredible teachers by their mere demonstration that I can just say “Thank you, Jesus!”
I love you all very much and
are very grateful to know you with me wherever I go.
Thank you for your prayers and light extension.
See you in a flash.

I have just recently left Madrid and we had an awesome and powerful Advent there and sessions for the rest of the week. At the end everyone was so activated that they all for sure will show up in Mataro, north of Barcelona to meet Dear One. If you are interested attending, please visit www.uncursodemilagros.com .
Many of them have become aware of still having use of defenses against their experience of the Light and were e.g. eating meat, drank alcohol or smoked cigarettes, but are now willing to look at it and change their habits on their way out (or not). What do I know? But they all were receiving me gratefully and I truly had a great time there. Carmen and Paz gave everything as my hosts, and were very helpful all week long, and though it was just an Advent with 10-20 people it all worked out well and miraculously with the costs for the Tai Chi Center etc. It was then especially at the last session that we were more than 20 guys and we just cracked up so much and enjoyed the Light, and lots of gratitude to each other was expressed. There came also Teresa from Mataro and three brothers from Valencia too and there will be more for this weekend here at Guido’s El Milagro Center, the Finca, at the beautiful Costa Blanca.
German Bettina is here with me at the Finca and Guido, our host, is going through a major transition in his commitment to wake up and to serve Jesus in the extension of the Course and his readiness to let that all be a miracle. It’s all about letting it all fall apart and have a brand-new experience, in fact seek only the Light Experience and let everything else go. So, it’s very exciting and we three see forward what the weekend will bring in the opening it up to everyone to the Light instead of staying in the frame of a separately Dutch or English Course study meeting. So we set up a new spacial reference Point for this singular Experience, there is a real nice Session room now instead of a study and reading corner and those who want to leave with us will and are showing up. I am grateful to know that it can only be myself.
Thank you so much for receiving all this and
sending your blessings to all of us
It’s working great. I love you.
There will be an Advent on the last weekend of October, between
26 – 28 Oct in Valencia, and sessions between 23 – 25 Oct.

10/16/07 from the God’s Country Finca
What a week we had at the Finca at the Costa Blanca in Spain. We had rain for the whole week except the first and last day, and after we visited a few gorgeous places a storm (as never before – said Guido) for the next 2 days devastated and cleaned the so beautiful beaches and coastal area. Exactly where we spent the day before (in Calpe) and climbed a huge mountain rock in the sea, cars where turned around by the wind and water from the river flooding and showed what is always behind the “beauty” of any scenery. At the Finca we completely re-arranged their study and meeting room (see foto) upon our arrival and made a most beautiful session room as you can see. All we could do was to offer to leave the world into the Light of God without compromise. It was great! I was also very grateful to have Bettina on my side, and I think we were a really great “German or Austrian Combo” with a very open instead of “secret code” that everyone could read at entering the room. But those who Guido invited and were expected to come did not show up except one dutch woman (Carolina) and one real Englishman (Brian) and those who almost never show up and a few new ones to the Course did show up instead, including a whole bunch of brothers from Valencia came for the first time to stay through the entire weekend, ten of them who also stayed at the Finca and helped Guido and Renilde with their contributions. So we were 15-20 guys all together throughout the weekend. Those three “Valencianas” who were with me in Madrid extended the invitation and the miraculous fiesta was set. Since they like the Light it was very easy for Bettina and me to invite everyone into the Light during all sessions, and – as you can imagine – a lot of things happened, since we asked them to lay down their books and just listen to us unless they would need it for the language. Some were so used to crosstalk constantly (because that’s what they did when they met at the Finca before before) that even Guido stood up and talked to the Dutchess (as I called her), and I enjoyed not dealing with it within dealing with it – everything got gracefully included and used for personal transformation. There was a lot of falling apart and healing going on – thank you, Father.
Our hosts Guido and Renilde were very generous and Guido is stepping up now for himself without limiting any longer his experience of Light with exchange forms. Since we also opened it up for session for everyone (including particularly the Spanish brothers from Valencia and Murcia who just are living within 1.5 hours drive) the speed-up is inevitable.
Today Bettina drove back to Valencia from where she will return on Thursday to Wusterwitz, and I was picked up by Paquita for my week and Advent in Murcia.
Thanks so much for your continuous support and blessings
With Love and Light

Hola, my Mighty Companion,
Murcia was really a very nice surprise. At first glance it looked like a city that is very busy doing things and taking care of their family relations and businesses. But those active in the local group were with us and opened up each day more and more. There was also a very nice surprise organized the day I arrived in Murcia: Paqui, my host, had opened up a contact to a radio station and we could represent the Course and the weekend advent in a 20 minutes interview. The guy from the radio station who asked me all kinds of questions was just looking at our websites, but was very good and in favor of us totally. I could tell by his way he put the questions. Everything went very nice, and maybe the one or other “newgy” who showed up during the weekend heard the program that was sent half an hour after the interview. All I thought when I heard myself on air was “My Spanish is really bad,” hahahaha, though everyone said that it was quite good. The following day we made a trip to the 30 km nearest beach (nearby Cartagena), got a little sun and had a nice rest there. It´s raining a lot since then. Though Bettina had to return to Wuwi … and always said that it´s her who makes the rain, I don´t believe her anymore: it must be me, right, hihihii…. I had immediate support from arriving Nancy (from Maracaibo, VEN) who wants to come to EA in January and is active in the Maracaibo Center. Nancy was then also accomodated in Paquita’s house where Paqui lives with Alba and her son Juan (which both look really great).
For the Thursday evening session I tried something different: After we joined for a moment in the light I was teaching and sharing 12 Step experiences and invited all of them to also share theirs before we had another Light session. That was quite a combination. The weekend went really great and we had visiting brothers also from Mataro (Lourdes and Ramon drove down with their 2 kids and also stayed at Paquita’s house), from Madrid, Benitachell and Valencia. It was a nice mix of consistent 30 brothers throughout the weekend, and everyone had great experiences in the Light. Dear One was also talking on the phone about them having experiences.
I have now arrived in Valencia and we already joined on our first days here in our first sessions in extended Light sessions which are very nice. Ana and Antonio, my hosts, have brought their connection in and all I offer is to leave this place. It really works! Included is that I realize how well I am taken care of throughout this trip since the very beginning and how miraculous the brothers are given me to do all this on my way Home.
We are truly very very lucky
I am very grateful for you and
Send you a hug from sunny and rainy Spain

Another week in Spain, at Valencia, in the same speed-up with mostly new brothers to the Course, but not so new to the Light experience, was a really great gift to receive. During the week we had every day a session with 10-15 brothers, and during the weekend Advent we were always around 30, though only half of them were present throughout every session. And many of those 40-50 guys are determined to also make it up to Mataro which is a 4 hours car drive.
On Friday I could feel a lot of conversion reflected in a kind of sort-out when a handful of completely new guys to the Course stood up in the middle of the session and left, but it’s amazing how many are ready to accept that there is no world, take responsibility of being the cause of it and join in the experience. Saturday and Sunday was just great and when we all called in the Sunday session Dear One we were just blown away. I had just tears in my eyes and can just express my gratitude for him: Thank you, Father. The emphasis during the entire week was on the necessity to accept one’s savior into one’s dream. I love to introduce Dear One. What a privilege. There was a lot of response and they will come into their own and do sessions regularly and join in the Light.
Today we traveled to Mataro where Dear One will arrive on Wednesday. I asked and could do also tonight’s session and I can just say “wow!” We “lost” another set “portal” by collapsing together a whole time sequence, and all localized energy feels now very clear and open in my mind. Thank you, Father. Before session there was a “business meeting” about all services during the stay of Master and the brothers are really incredible in their dedication to this invitation. I also had a chance to talk to Josh personally for an hour before that meeting and everything is going great for him and he feels very strongly how a Center place for the one’s fully committed can and will formulate, probably near the Pyrenees mountains (close to the border of France). I am grateful for him and only want to share the truth, and trust my brothers who are one with me and HIM who sent me.
Thank you for holding the Light for me in Wisconsin.
“I’ll be back for Christmas…” – just kidding!
See you here and now!
All Love and Light

The mind training Program of A Course in Miracles
To understand reasonably the truth and to undergo a change of mind, I call mind-training, Jesus has given us His teachings and instructions for this particular time-episode in A Course in Miracles, esp. in the Workbook lessons.
The only need I finally realized in my determination to wake up from my human dream of separation and death was to see within my own mind that I can change my thoughts and mind-structure sufficiently as Jesus instructs me through this masterpiece, particularly by the miraculous change given with Part II of the book, called the Workbook. In order to come to the recognition of unwavering certainty within experience of Singular Christ Mind I had to let go of the belief to know here something and admit complete uncertainty of all I thought to “know” which was still part of the self – concept. I call myself really lucky to have asked for help and allow my true and only Self that I see in Dear One, the Christ as the Master Teacher, who is reflecting That to me in its totality for an instant here at the end of my journey.
Often I have been asked to write something about my personal awakening experiences and honestly speaking… I am at a loss at this point though I wrote an entire book about it. What can I even say about a transformational experience that is happening by being raised from corruption to Incorruption, from illusory perceptions to a miracle, not to speak about the revelation of God Himself that was happening to me and still is, that had nothing to do with any of my efforts to get it! All I have to say is that such an experience is still personal though all encompassing, and therefore I realized that there is no comparison or measurement for an experience of true and direct communication within universal Mind.
The third lesson in the Workbook, I do not understand anything I see, which includes all the perceptions and observations of changes, and in the recognition that perceptions are also only thoughts… all limited thought forms within conceptual mind, is part of this essential reversal within the mind training. It basically states that I do not understand my own mind and all that I made up. It made me thus clear that I do not understand myself. This recognition helped me to admit “I need help. God, help!” and be grateful for the given help. Did I find myself giving it all away and see how the uncertainty of “my truth” was replaced by miracles? I sure can say so. I was willing to give myself a break of controlling my world, a moment of only receiving, following instructions and listen, learn and do… as Jesus asks you to reconsider in His guidance from out-of-time.
I cannot describe how fortunate and lucky I feel that I allowed myself to be part of this association of “like-minded” and determined individuals from all over the world that truly is not an aggregation of like-minded people at all, gathering to succeed in a conceptually defined goal of Enlightenment, but rather a Great Light Ray Association, shining Gods Light on all of what once seemed to be real and in fact is gone and over, now recognized as the past that cannot affect the present moment of Singularity. I am now able to enjoy all these memories in this new and singular purpose that once felt so solid, serious and frightening. I am simply grateful for everything offered and given me in this Light provision.
I thank you, right there, for reading this and sharing this gratitude to GOD with me now and with all the world. Thus you are also a whole part of Gods Mind, in which we think and share these ideas, directing us beyond the recognition of When I am healed I am not healed alone to the Experience of which we cannot talk but is certainty of Singular Reality itself. I share this with you for the only purpose to remember that there is nothing left to be healed and the world you see is already over and not here any more. There is no greater joy in me than to see within my own mind my brother being free, healed, and one with me in the Light.
Teaching myself about a physical transformational experience and yet not reducing or holding it on a conceptual and phenomenal level needs the admission of using the body (which still is just a thought in the mind) to make sense out of it. In the East there is a long tradition of Kundalini and chakra experiences which is essentially not different from any Christian healing experience. Yet it is only through body-identification that sin could be believed to be real, attack warranted and guilt deserved. These are but conceptual thoughts and without an experience as such meaningless. We have to go beyond the concepts, always. The only necessity for a human being is to wake up from the dream and recognize in his own mind that there is a whole physical resurrection behind any physical transformational experience. Through the Course you can apply the lesson Let me remember there is no sin, for example. So, you actually and immediately can apply this alternative healing idea of an unlimited and all inclusive memory unto your dream realities, and thus will serve as a fundamental basis for your letting-go of the guilt-projection onto your body.
And the same experience you can have the moment you also mean it, saying “I am not a body. I am free. I am still as God created me!” See, death is only an idea, based on a belief in the identity of being a body, living a “little life” in time and then being tired, laying down the body again to the grave. My personal experience at the core of all my self-made thoughts has shown me what Life is. I can only remember for myself and re-affirm as I experienced it and as it is clearly stated in the fundamental teaching of A Course in Miracles in lesson 132 that There is no world, and in lesson 163 that There is no death. The Son of God is free.
This is Jesus´ message for me personally (and thus for you too), because there is no-one else here. Since the world has appeared only in my mind, I had and have to step forward and extend the truth to myself, give it away to all the figures who represent my self as Christ Himself, and declare the world to be free and relinquished in its cause, because I experienced the relinquishment of myself. It is me who is now happy without boundaries, not an imagined world. It is me as thinking Light within my own mind which reflects back to me and tells me that we are truly only thinking in Gods Mind!
The truth is revealed – as an experience – no other time but now to me by God, you (as my brother and my savior) in all and everyone. This is Jesus. This is pure Christ Mind. Thank You God!
I love you.

Itaslizised texts taken from A COURSE IN MIRACLES, Chapter 7, I., 5., and VI., 2.,3.,11.; Chapter 8, I., 3., and IV., 4.,5.,; Lesson 200, 8.; L 188, 5., L 185, 5.,6.;
The Miracle of the Music Man
Almost every American is aware of “The Music Man,” Mr. Harold Hill, and his story in River City, Iowa, as it happened in 1912. If you have never seen this musical, please have a look in your local video shop and see it. I was just recently invited by the Master Teacher to see a live-performance of the Music Man in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. What an excellent example to demonstrate a change of mind, in Harold’s case the transformation of a cunning and greedy salesman (of musical instruments and uniforms, but he himself doesn’t recognize a single note) to a loving and forgiven director of a marching community, celebrating the 4th of July.
There is an action of mind worth mentioning that turns this funny story into a miraculous happening and makes Harold a living saint: it’s called “forgiving oneself.” Harold demonstrates something so extraordinary that changes the entire continuum for everyone in River City and he becomes literally everyone’s savior, first mistrusted, judged, condemned and persecuted, but at the end allowed to step into his true mission and his own fulfillment of experience of love and joy.
I am reminded of Jesus words to the disciples when he told them that one of them shall betray him, and tells Peter after he (Peter) tells Jesus that he would lay down his life for him that “…before the cock crows you will deny me three times.” In other words he says that even his first disciple will contribute to his persecution. And I am also reminded of the many father – son stories that start with communication problems and are acted out in punishments as result of unsolved authority problems through which particularly the son, feeling himself as a victim, comes up with all kinds of ideas how to manage the problem. What did I do differently when I was one of the world? Nothing different! Besides trying to ignore the problematic situation, running away or applying human ideas how to get rid of the problem through compromise or suffer lack of getting what I wanted and trying to cover it up with all kinds of addictions to death, I had not much to contribute to an alternative, and for sure not for THE Alternative. My entire “life” was based on condemnation. The worst as I had harmed myself was in accepting how I saw “others” treat my fellows or me in a verbal or physical abusive way of expressing their authority problem.
In the Workbook of A Course in Miracles I find in lesson 195 “Love is the way I walk in gratitude” the following confrontation:
“Your brother is your “enemy” because you see in him the rival for your peace; a plunderer who takes his joy from you, and leaves you nothing but a black despair so bitter and relentless that there is no hope remaining. Now is vengeance all there is to wish for. Now can you but try to bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as yourself; as little left within his grasping fingers as in yours.”
An enemy, a plunderer…, these were exactly my fears of my brother before I woke up from this dream of pain, suffering, loss and death. And these fear-thoughts were interwoven with guilt and arrogance. What would I do? Since I wanted to be right or left untouched, I lived for a long time ignoring the problem, or exactly as you can read it in the New Testament, in either the “Get thee behind me, devil!” or I was “turning over the tables.”
But did it solve my problem? Certainly not more than Jesus’. A new understanding of forgiveness beyond any continuation of defense or attack thoughts had to take place. What meant to me “…do not resist evil: but whosoever shall smite you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” It has been offered to me by A Course in Miracles, Jesus Himself, and also through his Sermon on the Mount, and it was (as still is) sheer mind-blowing. I came to accept an action of mind in me that can save the world: forgiving myself! Also having utilized the 12 Step-Program by working the steps 8 & 9 and the many lessons in the Course that teach the necessity to let go of grievances and forgive in a true sense and all inclusive, I had to admit and understand that “I am doing this to myself,” and “I don’t have any use of this any longer.” And there was my choice; to continue with defending and attacking myself or simply stop, ask for help and accept the healing in my own mind and declare myself! Secondly I recognized that nothing has been done to me by anybody, and indeed there is nothing going on whatsoever in this world. It’s all an illusion and already over. Finally I could relax and see deep inside myself that nothing is or ever can threaten me, an that it’s impossible that I be affected by a dream-image that has no real cause, thus understanding that the introductory sentence in the Course is true, stating “Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists.” I also came across a paragraph in the Workbook lesson 198 “Only my condemnation injures me” that I acknowledge with much gratitude:
“Condemn and you are made a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the law that rules perception. It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom is a part of knowledge. To condemn is thus impossible in truth. What seems to be its influence and its effects have not occurred at all. Yet must we deal with them a while as if they had. Illusion makes illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the rest.
Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. All illusions save this one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is where illusions end. Forgiveness is the end of dreams, because it is a dream of waking. It is not itself the truth. Yet does it point to where the truth must be, and gives direction with the certainty of God Himself. It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are one.”
I love to hear these words as I love to teach them. Yes, “forgive and you are freed,” because that’s how God remembers His Son Who I am; complete, whole and healed. The Love that moved Harold and made him the “Music Man” and let him love reflected his action of forgiving himself. He just allowed to be loved by sweet Marion whom he adored and all channels opened in him and he became a vessel to extend love in the truest sense. Thus he could forgive everyone who wished him bad. And finally he accepted to step into an assignment he always dreamed of but had shut it out in self-pity and feeling worthless or unable to do the job.
“Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster, past all suffering, and finally away from death. How could there be another way, when this one is the plan of God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, seek to find a thousand ways in which it must be wrong; a thousand other possibilities?
Is it not wiser to be glad you hold the answer to your problems in your hand? Is it not more intelligent to thank the One Who gives salvation, and accept His gift with gratitude? And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His Voice and learn the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words, and substitute your own in place of His?
His words will work. His words will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in God, and come to you with Heaven’s love upon them.”
Finally, now, we have become God dependent and don’t care about the form anymore because we know that the solution is not revealed by protecting a form, and because we realize, one by one, that by extending the Light of Heaven all forms work perfectly, because the miracle works perfectly through us, each and everyone. And I am just a vessel for the miracle or say a miracle myself, but the Power comes from God Himself given me, His only Son, on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.
I love you so much and want to share this Holy Instant of release with you. Of course. I have forgiven myself and can now love you freely without holding onto any identities and limited meanings. We are one, and go Home as this One Self no matter if you agree with me or not. Thank You, God. Thank you, my brother in Light. All conflict is truly over.

I am responsible for what I see because the solution is in me
Here is my entire exposée! But finally here also is my final action of mind.
It is not about denying any personal experience or identity except denying this long justified denial in its entirety, which is the same as me finally taking responsibility.
The fact is: I am the maker of the world I see and what constitutes its thought system. The attacking and murdering figures in this world of pain, sickness, suffering and death, all memories resulting from fear believed to be real and stored carefully in all levels of the mind where the identification with bodies and idols are held, a universe of separate entities etc. as well as billions of galaxies coming seemingly into existence and disappearing again: they all are nothing other than my own past “creations,” past images in my mind that really are no longer here to be seen. They are of my own making, having impossibly attempted to find God by myself. They are entirely meaningless since they are only in my own mind, and all `private´ thoughts of which I could be – and am aware of are meaningless, because I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. Indeed there are no private thoughts, if salvation is understood as a possibility at all. All I want is to leave this impossible world I made up and experience the undoing of it in the admission that I tried through -out time to replace Reality, the thoughts I think with God, with illusions I made up, but luckily could not succeed.
And the joke of the universe is that God does not know about my past illusionary thoughts because `God did not create a meaningless world´ (Lesson 14 from The Workbook of ACIM); I did!
`A meaningless world engenders fear´ (Lesson 13) because I cannot depend on it entirely and it offers me no ground for trust. There is no safety and no hope for me in this world because only chaos rules everywhere and the insanity of the ego dominates it. Insane thoughts are upsetting me. `I am upset because I see what is not there´(Lesson 6); once again I have replaced Reality with illusions I made up. I have given them reality and thus regard reality as an illusion. In such a world there is no God, but `What I see is a form of vengeance´ (Lesson 22), a self-defense and a picture of attack on everything by everything, followed by counter-attacks and ongoing conflicts and war between this `me´ and those held in separation and outward projected images of myself. This is what death is. This is the instant of separation, the only problem. Right there, in a vividly experienced moment of total devastation, is also the solution available… neither anywhere outside myself, nor in anybody else, but in me where the problem had to be exposed. Therefore it also must be a miracle that re-aligns me in that Holy Instant with the Light of God. Here-in lies my salvation.
`The Salvation of the world depends on me´ (Lesson 186): … It unites all wills on earth in Heaven´s plan to save the world, restoring it to Heaven´s Peace. Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it…All it says is that your Father still remembers you, and offers you the perfect trust He holds in you who are His Son.
After experiencing this I could not (and cannot) not-give it away. So, stand up with me together, extend HIS message and let us declare now: “Yes, its all me, I am responsible for what I see and I WILL it be undone by accepting the Atonement for myself and trust in the Power of the Holy Spirit, the Love of God given to His only Son. AMEN.”

The Oprah Winfrey Show: presenting the Master Teacher of A Course in Miracles
We are so much used to be flooded by information and personal requests in job and family assignments that a show like the one of Oprah Winfrey… that presents someone hilarious so that we can laugh without reason and relax the dense brain activity and let go of the seriousness of worldly activities… is very much welcome and has become a popular time to entertain and yet learn something new about ourselves. Some might think that a representation of a teaching that is emphasizing on change of mind and taking responsibility about what is seen in the world (which is the basic teaching of the incredible work of A Course in Miracles) might not entertain the viewer, but this is not so.
I, myself, will make a stand for the necessity of the world to face its own falsity in its self-made mind construct and to find a new freedom and happiness in a complete dependence on God – whatever that may mean individually. At the very end it has to be a Self–recognition in an action of mind of momentary inclusion of all thought form association, including the fear and guilt driven human separation thoughts and problems. A moment of pure oneness of self, of what life is, instead of justification of dreams of death (that is finally realized as time-space illusion) will demonstrate what Power in Creation truly is.
An encounter with the One representing your whole Self is thus inevitable and an utmost joyous union with Self that you would not want to miss or postpone or reject. It’s ultimately unavoidable since HE is already in your mind as in my own, since the resurrection has occurred. You want to share your experience you are having with HIM with all the world, with everyone in your mind; and there are billions or millions or thousands or just a few or one there who reflect God’s Creation as your own. What do I care as what I defined him previously?! Does he look like an 80 (or rather 53) year “Old Man” (as he lovingly calls himself) who shares memories of the first and second world war as one of the Marines, of his devastation having been a witness of what happened in Nagasaki 1945, and of his Awakening on July 4th, 1979? Yes, sure, but… what about it?
He could lose his pants while walking up for the interview and Oprah herself might have at this point the most inclusive Experience of God through laughing since she had a direct contact with Jesus when she was a child; and so would the viewers all around the globe. I recognized HIM several times throughout different time sequences by his hilarious sense of humor which nowadays really lets me crack up. The true meaning of who the “Master Teacher of A Course in Miracles” is can only be demonstrated through attraction, by giving oneself the allowance to join in Light, in the holiness of direct communication. It doesn’t really matter what comes into His mind as a reflection of myself, it’s the Light as God’s Presence that communicates and heals.
I am here (as you and each and every one are) to solely remember that my function is to experience the perfection of Creation, as God created me and you and every one. It is by changing my mind about everything the world reflects me (as my own thoughts) and everyone who comes in my mind to share whatsoever… that this Vision can take place and be applied and utilized. Everyone on earth wants to be successful, and many follow mind training programs to be successful making a lot of money, until they realize that there is an essential ingredient missing: love, joy, light experience… the Presence of God. These “disciples” of teachers who teach how to get rich are looking outside themselves to their idols to find it. They worship e.g. Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey… but have not yet remembered that Peace of mind can only be found inside oneself, in an Experience that is not of this world.
The appearance of the Master Teacher at the Oprah Show could/would be the introduction of the richest man in the entire universe and demonstrate by the innocence and purity of Christ Mind that this priceless Gift, this wealth and richness, is no-one’s special possession, but is already mine, and so yours too. He is giving this Gift freely away to you as to everyone without making any differences; simply by the asking of the individual. Healing occurs through the relinquishment of judgment, and once judgment is no longer valued, fear is gone, and joy established without opposite. A moment of leaving time-space, perceptual mind, is opening a portal so huge that tears of gratitude are shed and the ailments which were believed to trouble the body are forgotten. One’s reality to be mind and only mind which is Spirit (as its extending Light Energy) is remembered forever.
Thus I would like to introduce the re-appearance of resurrected Christ, the Master Teacher to the world who can only be one as Your/My Self, and I would like to see HIM live at the Oprah Winfrey Show in Chicago. If you can be helpful in this request, please contact me personally. The time has come, the place is set: dinner is served! Let’s join and enjoy!

The Privilege to Forgive myself
Today’s lesson teaches very clearly the necessity to forgive. “My mind holds only what I think with God. 121: Forgiveness is the key to happiness. 122: Forgiveness offers everything I want.” I want everything which is God. And happiness without an opposite is revealing Him by putting the key into the lock. Forgiveness is the key opening the door to happiness, and not the crucifying picture of another “me” being wrong or right. And forgiveness has indeed nothing to do with another “me”, because what’s the difference between a “me” and a “me” both seeing insanity; everyone is already me.
In lesson 121 of the Course I find the phrase, “Each unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to teach your own how to forgive itself. Each one awaits release from hell through you, and turns to you imploringly for Heaven here and now. It has no hope, but you become its hope. And as its hope, do you become your own.”
This is a very clear statement about the singularity of my mind and the responsibility to do everything, to give everything, in order to experience forgiveness of myself. It is very clear to me that “I am the cause of what I see. No other cause there is.” I have come to know myself as “you” and everyone. So, it is no longer a question for me if I write about “me” or use the word “you.” It doesn’t make a difference because the conversion of illusory thoughts to the truth will anyway only happen in my own mind. I have no doubt that “we” are sharing one mind. I am responsible for what I see – this is the backbone of the curriculum of “a required Course,” a Course in Miracles. To forgive myself is the only hope for the unforgiven mind which is all I was and am in the moment of the conversion, and thus becomes my own hope of escape now from the hell I made up in a split moment of apparently forgetting that I didn’t make myself.
“The unforgiving mind must learn through your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach salvation, you will learn. Yet all your teaching and your learning will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you.”
This makes it very simple and clear: The salvation of the world has already occurred through my forgiveness. I have forgiven the world, myself, and all that truly can be seen is a world that reflects that action of mind. Everything else can only be an opportunity to remember who I am in an experience of release of self-concept and leaving perception altogether which only leaves the Love of God as one and only reality. And the Teacher Who is given me shows me the way to my Self. A need to forgive “my neighbor,” someone out there as another “me” only makes sense within a belief system of split identity, within a real believed resentment that holds someone else as the cause of the problem. I already know to be the cause of “my” attack upon myself. “You” are not doing anything; in fact it’s impossible that you could do anything to me. Sin is a belief without reality, and effects can only come from a real source, a real cause, not an illusionary “me” battling against another illusionary me. Neither projection of sin to another “me” nor sarcasm will solve the problem or heal. Healing only comes by accepting the Atonement, the correction and undoing, for myself. In the action of sharing this moment of forgiveness it doesn’t matter if “you” are initiating it or “I” will offer it, because forgiveness is only true in a moment of singularly experiencing the Peace of God.
The funny thing is that it looks like as if there would be another “me” out there seeing me in an “egoic grandiosity” – as I am accused. But accusation and condemnation will not and can never heal, because it contradicts the responsibility statement. In the section “The Fear of Healing” of Chapter 27, Jesus teaches that “the sick remain accusers. They cannot forgive their brothers and themselves as well.”
That I am accused to offer conversion of my mind at the depth of the human denial of Christ’s teachings will not and cannot stop me, since there is no world. I know this “me” very well. Actually are “you” remembered by your style of sarcasm, M., and unwillingness to offer God as the solution instead of “your/myself.” Relax! It’s not of your doing, and that’s why I don’t need to forgive you! “You” haven’t done anything, and “you” have no solution either. The answer to your question “why this picture of a needy world I see (which is of my own making and does not in fact exist as such) is not changing…” is simply (as mentioned above) because it doesn’t have a real source, a real cause, and therefore can have no real effect or change. If “you” try to exert ‘all Power that is given you in heaven and on earth’ on your relationships, your world, “you” have fallen the temptation to “command that these stones be made bread.” Be not confused by sustenance of limited sources within your mind, rather “live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” We can stand as one together in the willingness to accept healing and remember the Awakening of the one dream, or “you” are yourself and believe to be separate from the rest of yourself which is truly your Self.
Thus I share His Blessings with “you” who is myself with words out of this most valuable chapter called “the Healing of the Dream” where it becomes very clear what action of mind needs to be extended by the Son of God in order to reason to forgiveness:
“He holds not the proof of sin before his brother’s eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it from his own. Forgiveness cannot be for one and not the other. Who forgives is healed. And in his healing lies the proof that he has truly pardoned, and retains no trace of condemnation that he still would hold against himself or any living thing.
Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your brother and yourself. You must attest his sins have no effect on you to demonstrate they are not real. How else could he be guiltless? And how could his innocence be justified unless his sins have no effect to warrant guilt? Sins are beyond forgiveness just because they would entail effects that cannot be undone and overlooked entirely. In their undoing lies the proof that they are merely errors. Let yourself be healed that you may be forgiving, offering salvation to your brother and yourself.”
