Mindfulness

The first pillar

This is the first of the two pillars that makes every Teacher of God. Become aware of the crucial role that your mind plays for attainning the goal of A Course In Miracles . You no longer find yourself in an objective experience of world versus self, you are made aware of the action and the responsibility of your mind. Your mind is the mechanism of decision and determines your experience. It is necessary to do a mind-training to make God's peace permanent and consistent. Without it you may have phenomenal experiences, but they won't last until you apply your mind to the exercises of the workbook of A Course in Miracles.

Undoing your old way of thinking

The Practice of mind-training is crucial for the fulfillment of your purpose.Look honestly at your motivation for doing a mind-training and undoing your old way of thinking. Perceive yourself and the world anew after this undoing. Nothing is more valuable to a mind that is ready to  awaken from its sleep.

Nowhere in the Bible is there a reference to the Son of Man (Adam) waking up from his sleep. Well this is it. Nowhere left to hide, just dealing with your thoughts your ideas, beliefs, perceptions and experiences of people, places and things. Straight is the gate and narrow the way when you want to make the transition from the old to your new thought-system. The practice is simple, consistent and all inclusive.

To be satisfied with controlling your actions and behaviors is not enough. Make your behavior and beliefs consistent with your actions so that your belief will come to represent the pure Grace given you by God.

Be inspired, motivated and mindful. Think with your right mind, be vigilant only for God, become a happy learner and accept the Real Alternative that this Course offers.
