That was the year Course in Miracles Society was incorporated as a non-profit organization and the year Jesus’ Course in Miracles was published. In fact, copies were just finishing up at the printers as Tom Whitmore and I were attending the conference. What a blessing to meet so many amazing Course students from around the world! It was 3 days of pure sharing! And now so much has changed since then especially in the area of Social Media! Now most of us have Facebook and Twitter accounts, LinkedIn and blog accounts and our ‘Connections’ are growing at warp speed. It certainly seems as though we are now experiencing the ‘Celestial Speedup’ that the Course spoke of. This year I had the opportunity to once again attend the biannual “2011 ACIM Conference” which gave me the chance to finally meet in person many of those Course students I had only known by username. The VIRTUAL ACIM world had suddenly filled in for me! How wondrous! The Course tells us: “Sharing is God’s way of creating and also yours.” acim-oe CH 5 50 Let’s come together to share and Celebrate in our BEING! We are whole and complete and still as God created us! I hope everyone here at CIMS has the opportunity to meet all of you. We’d love to join with you and so many of our ACIM brothers and sisters at this inspiring festival of SHARING! ♥ ~ Reja Janaki Joy Green http://www.facebook.com/rejajoy Course in Miracles Society (CIMS) is an international group of Course students and teachers organized to discover, authenticate and propagate the divine teachings of A Course in Miracles. As students, we seek to increase our knowledge of Jesus’ words and to deepen our experience of his teaching. As teachers, we work to circulate the message of A Course throughout the world by our words, by our deeds and by the example of our lives.Blessings of peace, Course in Miracles Society email: cims@jcim.net phone: 800-771-5056 web: http://jcim.net Please be sure to Let Community Miracles Center know that you were referred by Course in Miracles Society [CIMS] either by clicking the down arrow and selecting CIMS on the CMC website or if you are calling in your registrations you will just need to tell them that Course in Miracles Society [CIMS] is your sponsor.

Joe Wolfe & A Course in Miracles 

“This world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that this is true.”
Joe Wolfe, founder of Spirit Light Outreach, every Sunday at The Peace Center Click Here for Details

  

This ex-con wants to put A Course in Miracles into every prisoners hands.
Many years ago while serving a ten year sentence
in a maximum security penitentiary,
God showed up and the man has never been the same.

Now he sends prisoners copies of his introduction to the Course,
and then the Course itself.Prisoners now have their own
Course In Miracles newsletter entitled, Letter To A Prisoner,
which contains letters to prisoners from Course students
and teachers throughout the world, and Course related comments
and questions as posed by some of the hundreds of prisoners
who have asked for and received copies of ACIM.”

Denver Workshop

 

The “Living A Course in Miracles” Workshop

 

Denver People House

October 23 & 24, 2010

9am until 4pm  

 The workshop will focus on the major tenets of the revolutionary spiritual path
of A Course in Miracles and how to effectively live them.

A Course in Miracles is based on the premise that the material world as we view and experience it is an illusion.

Like so much of our lives that are filled with fantasies and dreams, our so-called “waking state”
is also an illusory barrier between our souls and the reality of a divine world.

In ACIM, we are taught how to navigate through the illusion and to attain (while living)
the enlightened intellectual and spiritual state that is our divine right and inheritance.

The Course does not preclude other paths to peace but rather offers an advanced
curriculum intended to significantly accelerate the spiritual growth we all seek.

The learning methods employed will be
meditation
staying in the moment
storytelling
personal experiences
discussion
and open dialogue.

 The workshop presenters are Wayne Tittes Sr. and J. Michaels.
Both presenters are longtime practitioners and students of ACIM.

 Wayne Tittes Sr. has taught meditation to hundreds of students, as well as
helping countless others through his practice as a therapist and spiritual counselor.
He has served as Executive Director of People House,
where he taught facilitator training and led numerous workshops.
He is a PH minister and has studied with such enlightened souls
as Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche and John Heider.

J. Michaels is author of numerous books,
all profoundly influenced by The Course.
His unique multi-volume poetry series, Musings of Mind and Spirit,
challenges popular beliefs and expresses Course values in storytelling and poetic form.
He is a regular contributor to the Course in Miracles Society
as well as other ACIM based forums.

Two Chicago Events

Joe Wolfe Speaks on ACIM original edition

Introduction to A Course in Miracles

With Joe Wolfe
Tuesday, July 20th 7:00 ~ 8:00 pm  Begins Promptly.  Free seating is limited:  Come Early!
Life Force Art Center 3148 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago 60657 (773) 327-7224

 

Joe Wolfe, Author/transcriber of The End of Reincarnation with The Five Signs

 

Writer, author, speaker and founder of Spirit Light Outreach, Joe Wolfe works closely with well

known writers and authors like his friends Gary R. Renard, author of The Disappearance of the

Universe and Jon Mundy, publisher of The Miracles Magazine.

 

Joe has been interviewed by Neale Donald Walsh and has been published in a number of popular

ACIM related magazines and newsletters. He has shared his message of hope and inspiration to

live audiences from Sedona Arizona to Chicago, Illinois. A local resident, Joe hosts a weekly

ACIM gathering at The Peace Center in Berwyn, Illinois.

 

Spirit Light Outreach, Joe’s pet project, delivers inspirational books to prisoners, persons in

twelve step recovery programs and to the physically challenged.

 

He’ll share how a thirty-five year ‘search for his Source of the Miraculous’ culminated in finding

the means. How five mystical experiences eventually led to the embracing a practical

spiritual discipline and how that discipline would lead to real Love, Light and Peace.

 

Joe will share the accounts of these five personal mystical experiences that began at

three years of age and continued periodically until at twenty-five when he lived through

what is commonly referred to as an out-of-body experience.

 

He’ll detail the events that changed him from a career criminal to a seeker of the Truth.

He’ll describe the sensation of reincarnation (or recurrence) a vision of Quan Yin

and the experience of compassion and love. He’ll relay the healing touch of an unseen

visitor who cured him instantly of a potentially deadly childhood sickness. He’ll share

the account of an experience of inner Light that dwarfed the sun by comparison.

 

He’ll suggest how to shift from being a gatherer of information, from book to book and

from workshop to workshop and begin to live the rest of your life on the lawns of Heaven, right

here and now through the application of one of the most powerfully effective spiritual disciplines

known to mankind.
