Pre-ordered this book as soon as it was available. Prayed that it would arrive in time for me to take on my trip to the other side of the world where I will be for seven weeks. My prayer was answered as it arrived the morning of the day I was going to leave. So easy to be so grateful!
It only looks like it took me two days to read this. I crossed the international dateline… It only took me 10 hours or so to finish the book. What a ride! So much amazing information. I think I'll read it again. ...more

Every page of this book is full of lies!
I give few examples of lies. Its kindle book page numbers.
1. Page 52 utter lie made up by Gary Renard!!
Gary states that there is grandson of paramahansa yogananda whom he met!!
If anyone knew of Yoganada him from his book “autobiography of a yogi” or knew his disciples they will know he was a complete kriya yogi, a celibate ascetic, a sanyasi, a brahmachari and true disciple of Sri yukteswar Giri!
2. Page 70 the way Arten speaks about Buddha is worse than ...more

Gary is one of the best ACIM teachers I know.
His clear explanations of the meaning behind the teachings of ACIM are invaluable.
I know he is right when he says 'there can only be one interpretation of the course'.
Many have skirted around this real meaning for years - even me. But once you look at what it is saying without prejudice, you will come to the same conclusion.
I especially liked the parts where he shares the information from Arden and Pursa about lifetimes on other planets and civilizat ...more

I wish i could go back in time...
back to those
unspoiled moments
in our relationship
Before hurt
ever touched our hearts,
before doubt
ever entered our minds.
Because if i could go back
and start from those moments
once more,
I would hold you longer
never miss a chance
to tell you
How much you mean to me...
and i would never,
ever hurt you
But i know we can't go back
to those days
I know i can't erase
the mistakes.
I can't take away the questions
you must have
Or the hurt we have both felt
But i can assure you one thi ...more

Not sure about this one...
It appears that this author has been around for a while, and has published quite a bit. However, too much of what he conveys within this text seems contradictory to what so many others have taught through channeled dictation. There is good stuff in here, but it’s interlaced with questionable and contradictory information. Struggling with this one; just doesn’t resonate as pure with me.

I have read all of Gary's books once; some twice some three times. It is good for me to pay attention to the message of A Course in Miracles on a daily basis. Gary helps me focus on my function. He has an unusual approach to help me understand a pretty complex metaphysical lesson.

I always love Gary's books and the simple translation of the heart of ACiM. I gain a lot from the gentle playful reminders and always tear right through them. This book is no exception—a quick, fun read that mostly stays true to what the Course is really about.
I have to give it 3 stars though because I wouldn't recommend this for someone who isn't already deeply into A Course in Miracles; there's too much wacky stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the heart of the message. Even the concep ...more

it is another form of the book named “A course in Miracle”, It is very interesting that the conversation about our super masters like Jesus、Buddha 、Laozi and the relationship among them as well as their enlightenments.also it tell us the core of ACIM that only the forgiveness in world is needed to be done by us,meanwhile anywhere and anytime listen to the only one Holy Spirit in our mind.let us cheer up when we forgive anything and the world is nothing in mind but the God exists in our mind,God

So helpful when following ACIM.
Gary Reynard has written another book with the help of his guides and angels, Arten and Pursah. Their explanations of A Course in a Miracles are so helpful in explaining the concepts which are written in language which is quite obscure to the beginner. Thank you to Gary, Arten, Pursah and St. Thomas!

Un libro realmente fascinante, lleno de grandes nuevas verdades que algunos pueden rechazar al considerarlas falsas, más para mi caso, los libros de Gary me han llevado a la certeza y a descubrir un camino que de otra manera no hubiera visto. Es un libro para leer con la mente abierta y que debe de meditarse, son de esos libros que uno quisiera repasar para no dejar pasar detalles esenciales.

Clear guidance to the practitioners of ACIM
Consistent with the pure non-dualistic system of thought. This book has brought even more clarity to the teachings of ACIM. After All, understanding the ineffable nature of our own being is difficult to remember in this world of dreams. We need teachers like Gary to light our path.

This book is my first Gary Renard's read.
The book was very easy to connect and understand. At instance, you find yourself lost in your own thoughts struggling to accept few unuversal truth.
The insights are very informative. Overall, it is unique and a lot can be leant from this spiritual read. ...more

I find Gary's books annoying, all except the first one. Rated as literature, um, well, maybe three stars. Rated as forgiveness opportunity? Millions and billions of stars. This book helped me! The dream of a person who gets annoyed is passing away.
