Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. When we think with love, we open channels of miraculous possibility.

When our minds are not attuned to love, we deflect those miracles. We block their expression. Where light is absent, darkness results. And when love is absent, fear results.

A Course in Miracles says “Miracles are everyone’s right, but purification is necessary first.” Purifying our thinking means the readiness to surrender thoughts of attack and blame, obsession with past or future, identifying ourselves as bodies rather than spirits, and attachment to thoughts of guilt in ourselves or others.

No matter what happens in our lives, in the final analysis we alone are responsible for how we choose to think about something. It’s a journey getting there, and working through things is part of the process, but ultimately forgiveness is the only path to inner peace.

Next week, I’m beginning a new seven-week online seminar: 50 Principles of Miracles. We’ll take the time to look closely at what each one means, not only abstractly but in relation to our own lives. Each Tuesday we’ll dig deeper and go further as we move through the fifty principles.

Whether you’re new to A Course in Miracles or have studied it for many years, this will be an opportunity to engage deeply with the material in a live virtual setting. We’ll meet on Tuesdays at 1pm PT / 4pm ET, from October 13 through November 24.

In A Course in Miracles, light is defined as “understanding.” To live in spiritual darkness is literally to “not understand.”

What is it we don’t understand? That what we see with our physical eyes is never the whole picture in a situation. The bodily level of things is rarely the ultimate reflection of what people are actually feeling and thinking. Our love, the essence of who we are, is often covered over by layers of fear, defensiveness, and emotional armor. To “see the light” is to understand that, to extend our perception beyond what the physical eyes can see to what the heart knows to be true.

That’s the real meaning of forgiveness: to recognize the light in someone, to remember who they really are, even when their mortal self is expressing fear. All of us are tempted to forget who we are sometimes, and through forgiveness we are reminded. In a space of misunderstanding, we can choose to understand.

I’ll be teaching a new seven-week online seminar devoted to the 50 Principles of Miracles at the beginning of the Text of A Course in Miracles.

If you’re ready to get serious and go deep, this Course will help you. It begins on October 13 and you can learn more and register at Marianne.com.

I hope you’ll join me. Come ready to change.

Just as a flower bends toward the light of the sun, every element of the universe bends toward the Light of the soul. Every element of life is programmed for enlightenment. Just as the acorn is programmed to become an acorn, every being is programmed the highest level of self-actualization.

The difference between the flower, and us, is that the flower does not have free will. You and I have a choice whether or not to lean into love, and living on this earth we are constantly tempted not to. We find ourselves deviating from the truth of who we are, choosing blame instead of blessing and fear instead of love. Seeing that the universe is intentional, we remember what a blessing it is to align ourselves with its will.

God’s Will leans Loving Thought. We follow God’s will with every loving thought. To realize that angels are pushing from behind is to realize that Thoughts of God are guiding us always, should we listen to the small still Voice within. Joining our intentions with the Will of a Loving universe, we find ourselves in the flow of miracles and in the realm of inner peace.

For those of you ready to go deeper with your practice of miracle-minded thinking, this Fall is the time to do it. My new online seminar will is called 50 Principles of Miracles.

The course begins October 13, and we’ll meet live online for seven weeks to learn the principles that are the foundation of A Course in Miracles and embrace applying them to our lives.
