  • For centuries, changes in science, historical thinking and philosophy have eroded traditional religious dogma and there was the chance that man could find himself quite alone and without resources except that which he can muster from within.  But there has also been  a new flow of thought as religion breaks free of the outworn, supernatural beliefs that presently stifle it.

  • If you want to have a life rather than existence, then learn to be bold - learn how to give and receive praise.  Giving praise can change your life and the lives of those around you, but most of us have no idea how to give or receive it! Praise costs nothing, takes practically no time and is available to all. It would be considered a crime to allow someone to go six days without food, yet we let people go sixty days, sixty weeks, sixty years without praise or recognition. The power of praise will encourage you to embrace change, take risks, fail and try again, act on your dreams and believe in yourself.

  • A Course in Miracles is s et of three books that teach that the way to remember God is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The Course originated in  1965 in response to a request of two psychologists to find another way of relating to others.  Many refer to the Course as the "Third Testament,"believing that it represents the same basic theology of the Bible, although in a more spiritually evolved form.  The essential characteristic of the Course that lies at the core of our differences is that it is a non-dualistic spirituality . Christianity, as Judaism before it, is a dualistic thought system in which God and the world, spirit and matter co-exist as separate states, both of which are real. Reality is thus seen to be a dimension of opposites - as with good and evil - in marked distinction from the Course's understanding of reality as being only perfect unity in which there are no opposites. Kenneth Wapnick and Rev. W. Norris Clarke, S.J., priest, philosopher, theologian, and Professor Emeritus from Fordham University, engage in this dialogue in order to identify the radical differences, as well as the similarities, between the thought systems of A Course in Miracles and biblical Christianity.
