I was born in Racine, Wisconsin in 1935, that makes me 80years young. I had 3 years in the Army, married for 32 years ending when my first wife died. I am currently married coming on 20 plus years. I worked for a manufacturing company in Wisconsin for 20 years, went to a Community College for 2 years and then worked in the legal profession for 7 years. I retired and moved to Grand Raids, MN and lived there for 7 years, moving back to Minnesota a few years ago. My spiritual path probably started at birth and is an on-going process for me. I was raised a Catholic but long ago left that thinking and moved to a more open mind concerning God.

Choose Again, Moving Beyond A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles with Comments

A Beginning Without An Ending

FORWARD

Over a period of 15 to 20 years, I was a member of two chat-boards on the internet, before Facebook came to be. One board was focused on the writings of Wayne Dyer - [e-mail] and the other was focused on the book ‘A Course in Miracles" - [e-mail]. The only active board now is the one on the Course. When Facebook became popular, the chat-boards became old-news. During that time I was honored to be Moderator for both boards. During those years, the members posted not only comments pertaining to the particular board they were on, but very often posted some ‘problems’ facing them and opened themselves to comments from the members as to how to ‘solve’ the problem. Needless to say, we were given many, many different problems from many, many people. And all these people were my teachers, and at times, my postings were their lessons to be learned. Of course one does ‘teach’ without also ‘learning.

What follows in this book, are excerpts from many postings over many years. Also included are some of my favorite quotations from a few of my favorite authors.

I wish to acknowledge some of the people who taught me so well while on those boards. They were teachers/pupils of the highest caliber and I thank each of them for being there for me for so many years.

Some of them are, and in no order: Manny, Ed, Bruce, Dan, Jeff, Phyllis, Juanita, Donna, Karen, Jaye, Mary, Tina, Charles, Michael, Diane, Debbie, Lyn, Neale, Shannon, Timor, Kim, Joe, Janet, Yolanda, and Diederik.

Thank you all for your guidance through those years. Thank you for being the greatest of teachers I could ever desire to meet. And thank you all for sharing your path with not only me but with each of us.

Namaste - Ron

January 1

Perhaps the time is now for me to discard all the labels placed upon me by myself and others, to release all thoughts of what I think I am in this world, and focus my attention on the truth of me. I will welcome my soul to sing its song. I will allow me to realize the real me, the image and likeness that is beyond description, the power too great to imagine with the mind of this world. I will leave my nets full of the past and proceed with the knowledge that is forever in me.

January 2

I prepare my inner temple for the arrival of God. And who is God but the One who knows me and understand me, the One who loves me just as I am and accepts me where I am at, and has no conditions nor time tables for me to follow.

The God I wait for is not outside of me; I need not look there. The God I wait for is already within, He has arrived and waits for me ever so patiently in the heart of my soul. And God tells me answers that I have not even thought of the question for. And God not only holds the door for me to pass through, but is at my side along my walk.

January 3

If I stay with a disappointment, I will stay with pain. If I choose to walk through my disappointment, my fear, I walk away from the pain, I leave it all behind me.

I can put disappointment behind me, but how I do it determines what step I will take - stepping in place or moving ahead. Only by going through the disappointment, by working through it, seeing it for what it is, can I move forward.

The thought of a little willingness on my part comes up again for me, it must be something I am to address. My little willingness, my little glimmer of hope within me, will grow into persistence and persistence will grow into commitment and commitment is my agreement with God to work through the disappointment. If I do this but once, I will remember that I can do it again when it is required. The disappointment may appear to be different, but the solution and the help remain the same.

Behind every disappointment is pain; ahead of every disappointment is achievement. With this knowledge, I can more easily move through the disappointments.

If I believe I am experiencing the pain of a disappointment now, then I also know I have not yet moved through it. I will look once again at it and seek another path through it. I will be persistent in my effort, committed to my results and know that God is ever present with me.

January 4

I am perfect, whole and complete as I am created, as I truly am. This is a fact of my truth. When I am not appearing to myself as my truth, I know that I must change something to remember the essence of my truth. I can change
