Personal Recollections of Bill Thetford, Co-Scribe of A Course In Miracles

Many Course students will be surprised by much of what is revealed in this very interesting book. For example, did you know that The Course might never have been scribe by Helen without Bill's presence? Also, many think that Bill and Helen must have had their spiritual "stuff" together at the time ACIM was received. This is completely untrue! What is most interesting is how this very flawed, person grew as he practiced The Course! It is a lesson for us all!

Says the Trade Paperback edition - "The task of religion is “to help us live creatively, peacefully, and even joyously with realities for which there are no easy explanations.” She emphasizes, too, that religion will not work automatically. It is, she says, a practical discipline: its insights are derived not from abstract speculation but from “dedicated intellectual endeavor” and a “compassionate lifestyle that enables us to break out of the prism of selfhood.”.

What the Bleep Do We Know!
What the Bleep Do We Know!
This a fun story that shows that science proved that the "real" world is not made up of stuff that acts "real"! The world seems to respond to ideas about our perceptions. Our ideas about the world determine our experience of it! But, our ideas are often at the mercy of our body chemistry. Funny and informative.
