Its an A Course In Miracles Smorgasbord - ACIM Lessons 32, 33, 34, 35

Good Evening everyone! Hope you all are having an awesome weekend. I just spent the better part of my evening hanging with a fellow HerFuture Spirit Junkie. We ate tasty deli sandwiches, baked chick peas, drank almost an entire bottle of wine, watched daria, and she further backed up my bf's explanation of a chicago hot dog. (Haha, long story). So all in all today is good.

But all that set aside i do have work in the a.m. and am wicked tired. It's been a few days since i've put up my lesson notes (so sorry by the way) so even though there wont be much "talk" to go with these lessons today i at least wanted to get them up for those of you that are also studying the course. Maybe after hmwk tomorrow i will come back and update with a few more explanations about each particular day.

Don't mind all the squiggles here on lesson 34. My pen did not want to work plus i was doing my lesson notes while taking the train out to visit a very good college buddy of mine. (It was so nice to get out of the city and realize that green grass does in fact exist).

What was kind of awesome about todays lesson is while in the back of my head (home to the ego) i was like "ya, about that..." it caused absolutely no distress to me at all. I think it was because i was in such a chillaxed mood from hanging out with my fellow Spirit Junkie that things just kind of flowed. (Power of positive thinking eh?)

But goodnight everyone and i hope the rest of your weekend goes well. I will be back to my normal blogging schedule tomorrow (not that i really have a normal blogging schedule) after i do my hmwk and studying. (And no, i will not be watching the Super Bowl cause its not really my thing).

Toodles!

A Course In Miracles... Lessons 1 & 2

So as some of you may (especially if you came here via her future) or may not know but i am currently working through A Course In Miracles. If i actually know you in real life you might think im nutz, living up to my pirate hippy nickname, or just be like "WTF?" Just calm down for a second if you are in the later...

I recently read "Spirit Junkie" by Gabrielle Bernstein and in it she gives many personal anecdotes about her experience with the book and how it is has helped her develop a more fulfilling and happier life. She also explained that if you are uncomfortable with the religious concepts of the book you can substitute things like what the book refers to as the holy spirit for your ~ing (inner guidance). You can make the book what you want to make it, and that is what i am doing.

Now, for those of you that haven't ran away screaming yet... I am trying to do one lesson a day (as the course also states you should not do more then one lesson a day). While i may not post my notes every day, i hope to post a few days worth of notes at a time in a blog post so that you can follow along with me in journey through the book. Also, maybe my notes my help you along in your journey through the book/course as well.

Lesson 1

Lesson 2

Dear Universe... at least you can make me laugh...

So, one of my intentions (which was then set a blaze a la Gabby's suggestion) for the new year was...


"I will be happy and want to see the world through love. I will expect miracles to occur."

Before dinner and a movie today i decided to stop by Urban Outfitters (it was almost right next door to the theater). Funny enough, i go upstairs to where the sale is going on and find the little guy in this picture...

It's a little Buddha desk lamp. They apparently had a bunch of different ones representing love, harmony, faith, wisdom and yes... even happiness (which is the one i got). After all the discounts he was only $5 so i figured why not? Of course when i got home there was crud on part of the battery and where the battery should connect so he doesn't work right now. 

Then again he does work... just not in the way he was originally planned. Now when i look over at my nightstand i kind of giggle at the fact that he doesnt work as a desk lamp and the reason why. So in a way he does remind me to be happy...
