Course in Miracles and Marianne Williamson’s definitive works about the Course are my first teachings starting in the 90’s that changed my perspective of politics, among other things. The Introduction to the Course, page 1, which included the text’s summation…is such a unique characteristic in an introduction for a text with a path of over a thousand page. It stays with me from my first reading of it to this day as I share it. It is the cornerstone of my spiritual path. I meditate upon its profound truth and upon the glass that is ALWAYS at least half full.

1975) Introduction
“1. This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of Love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite
2. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.”
The many times that I have grimaced and chortled and not given credence at the machinations of the former, his enablers and followers and the fall of the Republican Party is due to a particular sentence in this introduction.
It violates a principle that outlines its failure, try as they may to force their hand.
“Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum.”
These times have truly tested my application of these teachings. In following my vows to try to spread truth without fear, I go to Fox once a week, when I can, and sort of angelically troll them with differently messaging. Oftentimes, when I stay too long, my body begins to feel very uncomfortable. On Thanksgiving, a friend who was also my teacher of the course sent me a beautiful excerpt. I passed it along to Fox viewers 12 times. I never felt anything...I think I was protected from that insidious fear and hatred by Love. It is an incredible power when we use it. One Fox viewer actually responded and tried to tell me not to preach to him against hatred and that I need to let him do it his way. He repeated, "Let me do it my way!" several times. It was so fascinating. I did not think I was preaching, just presenting another way of looking at things. Was that a momentary crack where the light gets in? It was one of the kinder, more thoughtful responses my comments have ever received on Fox.

That was done in the instant before Creation.
Love and Light!

Yes. That was a crack. And Light immediately entered. Love and Light, Penelope!
Oh, Christine, you're at it again. Morning!
Again? Hahahahahahaha. That would mean I took a break! I keep this engine on all the time. Love you Lynell!
