I'm thinking, "thanks, i needed that."

Me too, the part about making peace with a decesed family relative especially. I am going to do that. Thanx.

if we are in relationship with the body

This thought is very interesting to me. I have never thought about my body that way, as being something I am in relationship with. You have done enormous things to my head. Thank you, I think.

“the courage to stand alone” I find that A Course in Miracle makes a similar challenge, to stand away from the crowd. It is not easy. the endless legalistinc debates that characterize "orthodox" Christianity I believe that such "legalistic debates" are a form of mutual reinforce...

How about Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" and the Hollywood version "The Magnificent Seven"?

Here's something I like from one of my Zen Buddhist texts which sounds like this forum. A student asks, "What is Zen?" The Master replies, "It is right before your eyes." The student says, "If it is right before my eyes, why can't I see it?" The Master says, "You c...

Like you, I am a reader of A Course in Miracles. I am also a follower of Zen Buddhism. It may sound like an impossible combination, but not for me. Both seem to be telling me to find a quiet place, sit down, take a long, deep breath, and stop fussing.

Art, if I may address you so, I am new to this forum, but I have read much of it, and learned a lot, including from your posts, so I also welcome you back from wherever you have been.

I came to this site today following a link to the articles about the Course in Miracles, which is my path. I like what is said in those articles and the rest of what I have seen here so far.
