In my boundless quest for knowledge, the Universe has, once again, revealed itself. Are you hounded by an inner voice asking, "What is this world? Why am I here? Who am I? What is my purpose?" e voice in- side of me never ceases to ask these questions. Some- times the voice is dimmed or distracted by the promise of external affirmation, but the feeling of gratification is fleeting, at best. And once again the voice counters; everything you need to know is inside of you. Who does this voice belong too? My true Self. How do you get there; inside, to that place where the answers reside? How do you enter the vortex? ere are many paths; meditation, exercise, yoga, music, mind altering drugs; but you cannot not get there until you believe it is there. Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "Believe it and you will see it," and he is right. Your brain is the most sophis- ticated super-computer system in existence, capable of creat- ing and manifesting with the thoughts it produces. We have barely scratched the surface of this amazing masterpiece of tis- sue constructed technology. I facilitate a study group for students of A Course in Miracles. ACIM is a book created from channeled messages, with the purpose of being a self study guide to inner truth. e course aims at teaching how to re- move the blocks to the awareness of love's presence. It has changed my life, and opened up my eyes to the truth. I believed that if I could understand and accept the concepts that life is eternal and this world is an illusion, the universe would reveal itself to me; and it has, but not the way I had anticipated. We have a deep seated fear of death. But how is this possible if we are eternal beings? is fear of death is ego derived. Our ego has convinced us that we ARE our bodies. ere- fore, if we discover the truth (that we are eternal beings) the ego warns, our body will disappear. is concept is so threatening to the ego, it does everything possible to distract us from con- necting with our true Self; Love. e truth is, our body is a projec- tion of our mind, and our body is dying and reborn every day. Our cells are in a continual state of flux; physical life and death, as we know it, happens every second in our bodies, we just don't process it, mentally, in that way. e body we had ten years ago, is dead, and is not the body we have today. I have glimpsed at just how vast the construct of this world we have created, truly is, and how unbelievably incredible our abilities to create, actually are. I am exhilarated, excited and motivated to keep exploring! We have been domesticated to believe we exist in a construct so very limiting, futile and temporary, it's no wonder we're all screaming at each other and our na- tions are at war. We were NEVER meant to live such small lives. It is tragic that, when our children can't sit still in their seats at school, or their minds begin to explore alternate realities, we label it At- tention Deficit Disorder and reprimand them to stop day dreaming. To make it worse, we drug them into submission. As adults, we can't cope with the choke chains around our necks, and reach for a drink or other mind altering drugs, instead of searching for the real answers; inside. We're literally drugging ourselves and our children into oblivion. is life is a gift. Your mind is a super computer. ere is so much more to learn and explore and experience. But you have to believe it, to see it. Are you ready to wake up to the truth about your Self; the truth about this life? e journey is yours alone to take. No one can do it for you. It's time to.

Keep Up Now By Terry Ludwig (c) Can Stock Photo Inc. / grsphoto "e more "complete volume" of truths lay in life's journey. All truth is offered to all. It is ab- solute, and absolutely for every- one regardless of any man made sanctioning body, government, organization or church." - Rob Ludwig
