The first topics of this web site examine our "Current Perspective" and should be read before going on to the remaining topics. "The Foundation" is my interpretation of A Course In Miracles' answer to four central questions listed below, followed by quotes from the Course.
- What is the world?
- How did the world come about?
- What is the purpose of the world?
- Who am I and what is the structure of the dissociated mind experiencing the world?
The "Model of Mind" is a quick visual representation of a way to think about our minds and the ideas discussed across this website.
This is followed by a series of essays further elaborating on these ideas. I hope you find this site helpful on your journey and welcome your comments & questions in the contact me page.
In peace & love,
