Memory and “Memoria” (oddly enough) expand “The New.” I say “oddly” because when speaking of memory, I imagine that most of us usually think of the past. “Memoria” (Book II of The Way of the Marys), speaks of “the miraculous and often ignored human capacity for, and...

I’ll not stop my received writing on my sabbatical but tend to it. I will, by now, have wrapped myself up in Mary’s embrace through “her month” of May, and felt the return of warmth and green grass and spring flowers here in Minnesota. The Center for A Course of...

Bring The New Into Being with ACIM OE and ACOL Be very still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. (Txt. 31.32...

The Times They Are ‘A-Changin’ and Historical Memory As you enter the time of Memoria, what you feel will be akin to memory’s prayer, the prayer of longing. Her way is that of remembrance, tinged with grief’s yearning for the end of what need not be. (From Memoria:...
