3. The Power of Determination
Determination is
acim the power to stay focused on your goals and dreams and to pursue them until you reach them. It is the force that drives you forward despite all the difficulties and challenges you may face. Without it, success is impossible.
Determination also requires discipline and self-control. It is the strength of character that can help you resist temptation and overcome addictions. It is the force that makes it possible for you to make a choice between good and evil.
When you are determined to achieve your dreams, you send a signal that summons all the resources of the Universe to help you find ways over, under, or around obstacles. No other human power can match that of determination. It is what separates those who succeed from those who fail. It is the secret of miracles.
5. The Power of Gratitude
The similarities between A Course in Miracles and many NDEs are striking. But it’s unlikely that they could have influenced each other via culture, since the Course was published in 1972, before NDEs came into wider public attention with Raymond Moody’s 1975 book Life After Life.
Rather, it seems that NDEs have been influential in the development of the philosophy behind the Course, and that the Course has been an influence within NDEs. For example, one NDEr reported being told that he was going to return to earth with a message of forgiveness and healing – which is precisely the central theme of A Course in Miracles.
Join Judith Skutch Whitson, Tamara Morgan and Kenneth Wapnick to learn more about this fascinating phenomenon. They’ll also discuss the latest research on the power of forgiveness.
7. The Power of Forgiveness
The power of forgiveness is a key element to the Course in Miracles thought system. Kenneth teaches us how to apply the principle of forgiveness in our lives and in our relationship with the world around us. He also teaches about the importance of releasing our resistance to love and how this is accomplished through forgiveness.
This powerful ACIM film was originally created by Avaiya Media in 2010. The movie features interviews with a wide range of Course teachers and students. This remade version includes new footage, and Avaiya co-founder Ashley “Ande” Anderson narrates the movie. Her authentic, vulnerable honesty greatly enhances the remade movie and helps to deepen our understanding of the principles in this extraordinary course.
8. The Power of Awareness
The power of awareness is the key to healing and sanctifying relationships. In this article we’ll talk about how miracles foster the power of awareness.
Revelation induces change, while miracles foster an awareness of the Love that unites all things and abolishes fear. Neither revelation nor miracles can be a means to freedom from fear, however, until it is earned.
In 1965 Columbia University clinical psychologist Helen Schucman began to experience a series of waking dreams in which she heard a voice that identified itself as Jesus. Though many traditional Christians may find the pronouncements in A Course in Miracles startling and unbelievable at first, persistence and open-mindedness will be rewarded. This Original Edition presents the text of A Course in Miracles in its original sequence, and many students have found that this enlivens their conversation with the Author of the Course, and increases clarity and understanding of its teachings.
