MICHAEL: We look forward to it.
MICHAEL: We look forward to it.
Student: Yes, Michael. I’ve been reading the [[Course in Miracles]] because I wanted a blend of [[Buddhist]] teachings and…well, something I felt wasn’t being met. The teachings are [[beautiful]] and [[enlightening]], and opened for me a whole new [[paradigm]] of man’s [[nature]] in the here and now. But something was nagging me, maybe my own [[resistance]] or ambivalence; but the [[experience]] was very [[profound]] with the teachings and the meetings, and the [[healing]] exercises too. Then the [[Course in Miracles]]--which are supposedly the teachings of [[Jesus]]--gave me the same open and expansive [[feelings]] as when I was [[participating]] in the other [[groups]]. It was like manna from [[heaven]], like: Yes, this is what I was looking for in the meetings, and meditating on, and wondering about. It’s very similar to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascended_Master_Teachings Teachings of the Masters], and the ''Great Freedom'' workshops. It opens up new [[visions]] of what really is.

They say that as you [[mature]] then you are more open to broader [[meanings]] in what these teachings have always [[expressed]], but you weren’t ready for yet. So that’s where I’m at. I’m [[understanding]] things I first encountered in 1976. I had to pay [[attention]] to this feeling nagging at me that I was still missing the point, even though I might have heard it before.
