2-7-15 Lesson 38 Laurie’s Reflections
Saturday, February 7, 2015 Lesson 38: “There is nothing my holiness can’t do.” I appreciate this lesson’s use of the word, “dominion.” It says, “The purpose of today’s exercises is to begin to instill in you a sense that you have dominion over all things because of what you...
2-6-15 Lesson 37 Laurie’s Reflections
Friday, February 6, 2015 Lesson 37: “My holiness blesses the world.” Hard to believe that the world can be saved. We are used to chalking the world up to a perpetual problem. We are used to not giving the world a second thought because we think it is past...
2-5-15 Lesson 36 Laurie’s Reflections
Thursday, February 5, 2015 Lesson 36: “My holiness envelops everything I see.” I love the use of the word “envelop.” When I see an envelope, it is completely embracing what it covers. Enveloping things has a great feel of sweetness to me and like a warm, loving hug. This...

Monday, February 2, 2015 Lesson 33: “There is another way of looking at the world.” I love that the Course gives us this light at the end of the tunnel. We have just spent the last weeks deconstructing our beliefs and perceptions about the world. We have been willing...
2-1-15 Lesson 32 Laurie’s Reflections
Sunday, February 1, 2015 Lesson 32: “I invented the world I see.” We originated the nightmare we find ourselves in. We devised it out of the thoughts that go through our minds. We can say this idea in many different ways, with different words, but it all comes back...
1-31-15 Lesson 31 Laurie’s Reflections
Saturday, January 31, 2015 Lesson 31: “I am not the victim of the world I see.” When we identify as a victim it is because we feel completely disempowered. When we feel like a victim it’s because we feel like we have been robbed of some detail of our...

Friday, January 30, 2015 Lesson 30: “God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.” It is important to make the connection of why God is in everything we see. If we perceive all parts of life as containing God, this is the first step to...
