You would never think of how exquisite the Light of Christ Mind reveals and extends Itself in so-called “Little London,” Colorado Springs (COS), CO. There is so much more there than just a “Best Place to live Number 1” (as the Money Magazine voted in 2006). The highest mountain range of Pikes Peak at the very east end of the Rocky Mountains catches the eye from all over COS, and there up is still plenty of snow. Just walking in the foot hills was already a challenge to my breathing rhythm, but it was a very nice and pleasurable field trip at the end of this week we spent there.

This time we all were lucky, we didn’t need to go for the Gold Rush, neither suffer of fluoride water causing “Colorado stain” on the teeth. We had a purpose of meeting in the Light and sharing in the experience of Enlightenment through A Course in Miracles.

The Advent, a reunion from Friday evening until Sunday evening, was announced as an intense encounter with truth facilitating the undoing of false perception and thinking and is an invitation in joining in one mind, using the Mind of God and undergoing a spiritual Experience of Light in one’s own mind.

Very few were ready to accept and participate in this offer from out-of-time, guided by Jesus Christ, but there were thousands and thousands coming along behind each and everyone who stepped in and released one’s own self-identity and rejoiced in the Light and Love of God. Obviously only very few have this commitment to go Home to Our Father today, now, but what we are looking at in the application of the Course is one’s own personal commitment. I can never judge anyone else’s commitment, but I can demonstrate my own and be an example for the entire world.

Most of the people there are fine with their world, their families, their dependencies in relationships and work set-ups, and might not yet feel the pain of the attempt to try to establish the Light of Heaven into their tiny world, independently if they might individually have recognized its non-existence. What I was going for, supported by Martha who was accompanying me and surprised everyone with her music selections and also a wonderful and practical insightful teaching, was one Light factor in no matter how many participants, to see how the miracle of joining reflects my own decision to leave this place in the totality of giving everything to everyone and every thing, now. We had great fun and yet there is a maturity of consciousness in those few ones who were consistently in that Self-recognition with me throughout this last week.

Who cares that COS is the training base for heavy bombers and is economically flourishing by its big defense industry of missiles and High Tech chip production?! I could care less about values protected by the conceptual human mind: there is no world, and this here is over! But I liked to hear that COS has a Cricket Club and was home for the very famous Tesla who came from Croatia (which was at his time part of the Austrian Empire). This is just for the record. I don’t have any national feelings, believe me. All electromagnetic development including today’s wireless communication started and was thought by his mind. I also was entertained hearing that COS is called the “Evangelical Vatican,” though there was no resonance whatsoever of this religious communities in our Advent. I read about the “Navigators” who look for personal communication to extend the message of the resurrection of the Christ, (sounds great!), but the moment the Light Itself is offered all illusion disappears into nothingness.

My host Karen and her mighty companions “The Dutchess,” Gary, Russel, Stephen, Jackie, Trish, other Karyn, and a few more (whom I can’t remember by name) were great and joined fully, releasing their need of time and accomplishing something in time, using these moments of the stillness of their mind to remember who they are and giving the best they could. On Saturday and Sunday we had some guests for at least one session, and everyone got a glimpse of this incredible Light that shines from God Himself into every mind, into everyone who is ready to join.

I am very grateful and happy that I was there and brought all of them Home in my mind.

Our last Light session on Tuesday in the Dutchess’ house that followed the latest video of the Master Teacher and religious instructions by me and Martha was so exquisite that I don’t have any words. Felicity received her baptism in and through that Light. It was and still is spectacular, and we were together for quite some time, outside time, listening at the end also to Dear One’s favorite music, and when I became aware of time three and a half hour had passed and we finally enjoyed the Dutchess’ Black Forest cake and had tea.

All I can say is just “Thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, my brothers in Light. Thank you, everyone.” I love you very much and invite you to continue your Experience in the Here-Now in Wisconsin Dells, WI, if you want. Just ask for help and give us a call. Let’s see how the miracle works.

I am just on the way to Maracaibo and have a rest in Panama City in 30 C (85 F) and even the shopping mall didn’t really do a great job to keep us from sweating. But I miss my brothers in Wisconsin and feel them very much with me here.

The last 2 weeks in Quito, Ecuador, were very nice and a memory in itself. We started out with the Advent as a retreat in a monastery 1 hour outside of Quito City and everything was prepared for us by the nuns. Saint Vincent was their beloved “hero” and they also loved our Light music and asked for a CD. Four new brothers from Loja who had to drive for about 14 hours were there, and the Llamas in the backyard were as well a full part as anybody else. We were just a small group of 25-30 guys but we had lots of fun and enjoyed to watch Dear One on a super big screen. Lots of healing was happening. It is always incredible for me to see how important it is to re-establish communication in my mind and not exclude anything, because we really have done it fully, and enjoy the over-ness of it now.

Gemini and I who were invited by the brothers to do this Advent finally did it together, and Tony was offering his service and help openly as well as Martha and Mai who are a joy to have around.

The week after the Advent was shared with two sessions per day, and it became visible who are the core guys and are in full give and service. Every day one of them brought food or cooked, and their Center where we all lived was cleaned by a lady care-taker. But their contract runs out and a new Center will be found, probably without barking dogs as neighbors. However, we all taught passionately and enjoyed the shopping opportunities and a trip to the Hot Springs in the mountains. Quito is already 2600 m high, and our trip to the City’s observation point, Pinchicha, brought us up to 4100 m (12300 ft). The air is always thin, and it took me a lot of breathing and slowing down walking around and dancing in Light Session.

There was also a great interest in coming to Wisconsin though many brothers still have their financial difficulties. But there is lot of gratitude and willingness to give in many ways. It was a blast and honor to be with them and join them. I also offered them a “Teacher’s training,” and we looked at the necessity to get out of the “social club” and let the Holy Spirit undo all time establishing ideas in a completely uncompromising way.

I love them all very much and see forward welcoming them in Endeavor Academy in Wisconsin.

Dearest brother,

 A lot of things have passed these last 10 days since I wrote the last report. I spent a few nice days in Santa Rosa (8 hours by bus from Bogota) in a small group and had support with my beloved brother Martha from Bogota Center and my two “aunties”, Zily and Bibi (as I call them) and offered the brothers who were coming to our sessions to make a new decision for a full commitment. My hosts who provide this country retreat place near the hot springs gave us so much and were very generous. They also showed up at the Advent in Cali and want to come to Wisconsin. Actually many brothers have in their mind to come very soon and be with us and Dear One for a moment in Wisconsin and “do” only THIS.

In Cali where we stayed for 1 week and had a nice Advent with consistantly 40-45 brothers I had a wonderful experience with everyone. There is a lot of Light there and my offering them… not to sit on that Light but start giving it away in a broader and more inclusive way was very much welcomed. They already had great experiences with Lois and John, Raphael and many other teachers of us, and quite a few new guys showed up at every session. I didn´t know first that there were many Course groups split up in Cali, and something quite extraordinary happened during my stay there. They decided to get together again and have a new place for sessions for at least 3 times per week and at Maria Mercedes home at other days in the morning. We did every day a morning and evening session, and on the last day even 3 sessions because I was invited to teach at a place where guys would meet once a week and haven´t shown up for the Advent. It was very easy to get them out of studying and conceptualizing the Course and introducing them to the Light Experience. There was also an incredible gift showing up at the end of the Advent. The public place where we used for the Advent was given freely and was decided to use from now on for free for following Advents. It was really an Out of Time communication and help from way back in time that this has turned around this way.

All in all it was all really great. My hosts Flor and Luz Perla gave everything and and demonstrated their natural skills of communication. I also offered and did with all who were interested in 3 sessions a “Time to Teach” teacher´s training and was surprised to find at least 10-15 brothers who can very well teach a session. I think it also motivated them to get together anew and do it this time differently and get out of the exchange mode Course groups meetings. There was a lot of gratitude expressed,and I can just join in and say “Thank you, Father.” They all love Dear One and his videos, and by Sunday we were already out of videos and booklets at our materials table.

Today I traveled together with Martha who was also teaching really awesome on Saturday afternoon to Quito, Ecuador, and tomorrow Zily (Cecilia) will also arrive from Manizales. Tony C. has also arrived today from Bogota, and Gemini and Mai who are already here for the last 2 weeks at the Center look great and had up to now a quiet and great time. The core group brothers here are so willing to join in Light and I see forward having a very bright and happy time here at an Advent of this Great Awakening with another week of teaching and sharing.

I love you all and give my Love to all of you.

Hi, dearest brother in Light,

My travel to South America began in Bogota, Colombia, at our Centro de Milagros where about 20-30 brothers altogether meet regularly twice a day for session. It is indeed a great experience to be with them, each and every one, those I know for years and who have started the activities there as well as those who enter in for the for the very first time.

In these last 10 days I spent with them (which felt like a flash) I was asked to direct them in what we call “Time to Teach,” to guide the brothers to come into their full expression of teaching. We used four evenings for this purpose, and it was a great privilege and joy for me to receive them in their uniqueness and clarity of their contact with God and understanding of their transformation of mind.  We used passages from the Textbook of ACIM and everyone did a really great job. To just name a few of the them like Diana, Alberto, Conny, Nubia, Ximena, Kristina, Martha, Miguel, Maria Stela, Aura Victoria, Jonathan… all of them are really awesome. Alejandro came just back from his trip in Cali at the right time, taught Friday morning and stayed through the weekend.

The Advent, beginning Friday evening, which was held at the Center instead of an out-of-town retreat place, was sheer incredible. Everything was flowing very easily and we had lots of fun and Light Experience. Visitors from Cali, Manizales, Medellin and Cartagena were present too, and every day a few new interested ones would show up and join in very quickly. It felt for me like a delayed Christmas Rebirth celebration standing like children in front of the X-mas tree in the session room, and I felt very privileged to be used by Him. The videos of Master also blew us away every morning, and we also gave him a phone call just before the Advent on the 9^th of January and sang “Happy Birthday“ in Spanish for him.

Today is our first day in Santa Rosa. We were on the road to Santa Rosa for 8 hours per bus, and I had lots of memories of having traveled there 20 yrs ago: all the beautiful countryside and food stalls along the road. Martha and Cecilia are accompanying me, and we were heartfelt welcomed for the announced three days morning and evening sessions here in the Finca outside Santa Rosa, north of Pereira. It is a small Center which is organized and maintained by Jose Fernando, Constanza and their daughter Julieta. They are very grateful for my coming here and are much dedicated to their awakening along Mario and a few other couples. The climate is very nice and warm, and there are also Hot Springs nearby which we’ll probably visit besides a huge cathedral and its nice main square. From there we will travel south to Cali (4 hrs on the road) to have our next Advent this weekend.

I love you all and am very grateful to leave today with you.
