Raise your hand if this was one of your favorite PBS shows growing up in the 80's & 90's. (I can't be the only one. 3-2-1 Contact was also the shiznit). The main reason why i posted this video was because, thank you to my state tax refunds coming in, i was able to acquire these books over the last three days. (Amazon prime is a very, very, evil thing sometimes).
The book in the top left is actually on YogaDistricts reading list for teacher training. Since my goal is to start my teacher training next year i figured i would start acquiring and reading the books now. The three books around it are all by Noah Levine. I kind of equate him along the lines of the male Gabby Bernstein for for buddhist meditation. If i could become a mix of those two people one day that will be awesome! And of course on the right is my third different copy of A Course In Miracles.
Why three different copies?
The first copy i got was the edition put out by the Foundation For Inner Peace since thats what it seamed (at the time to me) everyone was reading. Then at my first DC area HerFuture meetup i saw one of the girls with a smaller travel version she got in the bargain section at Barnes & Noble. So i picked that up so i could do my lessons, if needed on the metro. As for the third copy... The more i do my lessons the more ideas my ~ing leads me to in regards to the Course and sharing it with others. Well, in order to do implement some of these ideas i needed a copy of the public domain version of ACIM so as to avoid legal problems. Lucky for us it is a) available on the web and b) if you want a hard copy the A Course In Miracles Society prints the public domain version. These ideas i have floating around in my head are still a ways off but i get all excited just thinking about them.
And of course my lessons for the past two days...
When i started this lesson the first thing i thought about was my baby blanket i had sitting beside me on my bed. God may be the strength in which i am learning to trust now, but my baby blanket is what got me through a lot of things when i was younger. So i of course kind of cuddled myself in it during the lesson.
In case you can't tell by all the bubbles and arrows, i really enjoyed todays lesson. Then again i've noticed, if any part of the lessons now deal with my lightbulb moment i had earlier this week i get all sorts of excited. Also, i finally have a new song to be stuck in my head during the lessons (lol).
In case you don't know, this is Saosin's "You're Not Alone" and this i think is very applicable to many aspects of A Course In Miracles. Plus, i met the entire band at Warped Tour during the summer of 2009 behind the stage they performed on. All of the guys were awesome and the lead singer was kind enough to take a pic with me and give me a guitar pick.
Tomorrows Shout Out Saturday post may be a little late or it may not happen at all. The HerFuture DC gals are getting together again, this time to drink wine and discus anything and everything related to A Course In Miracles and beyond. Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend!!!
