Comments on Lesson 19 – Dr of Spirituality Course

Truth

We all need the Truth as expounded in the Course to live our lives fully and properly. We have learned about the real Truth during the lessons and this may have caused some problems to those of us who have had a more traditional Christian upbringing. It is necessary to recognise that we come from Love and that God is that Love and the only way to access this Love is through prayer. I would agree that there is indeed nothing more powerful than prayer. As far as working miracles is concerned , I would like to feel that I could do this in due course but I feel that I need more 'training'

in this aspect and perhaps a little more 'forgiveness'!

Prayer

As pointed out above, there is nothing more powerful than prayer but there is a need to pray properly and make closer contact with God. The course advises that one should make prayer into  communion with God. We are perhaps more inclined to 'talk' to God through set prayers setting out our requirements whereas God knows what we need to put our lives on the right path.  So I agree that we need to listen more to what God wants to say to us. So we need to do this through the Holy Spirit who will guide us to a p;roper level of understanding to open our minds to His words. This should be one of the foremost of a minister's duties to teach others the right approach and by so doing to improve our own contact with God.

Freedom

We need to be free from the guilt placed on us by the ego and we need to use the power of forgiveness provided by Jesus.  I agree that when we acknowledge and accept the mistakes that we have made we open ourselves to forgiveness and make room for Love to flow once more into our lives. The various situations that have arisen throughout our lives have happened so that we can learn forgiveness and show compassion to others in a similar position. Whilst it can be difficult to realise how much we need to forgive ourselves at first,  by doing so we can start the 'miracle' process with others.

The ways shown to us in the course can be very strange at first but with further study, we can open our minds to a new view of our faith and use those ways to enlighten ourselves first and then to produce help towards the Truth for others. The presentation of this course has been exceptional and maintained interest at all levels.
