For decades, the Hugh Lynn Cayce manuscript—sometimes called the “Sparkly”—has been described as “the Thetford Edit,” based on the belief that Bill was its primary editor. But does the historical evidence actually support that claim?

In this episode, Robert and Emily Perry examine eyewitness accounts and the Course’s early manuscripts to ask who was really making the editorial decisions—and offer a clearer picture of how the Course came to be.

A Course In Miracles Workbook Lesson 236
✨ “I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.” ✨

This lesson reminds us that we are in charge of our own minds; they aren't in charge of us.

When we feel like we are blown about by the winds of our emotions, we can use the mind training that we have been learning over the last 236 lessons and, like Jesus in the boat, calm that raging storm. 🕊️

✨ Join us on Monday, August 24 at 11am ET for our next Sacred Silence Gathering!

A Course In Miracles Workbook Lesson 235
✨ “God in His mercy wills that I be saved.” ✨

We often think of God as willing the difficult challenges we face. Yet in this lesson, He wills only that we be saved from all our pain.

We also think of His mercy as letting us off the hook in spite of our sin.

Yet here, His mercy takes the form of ensuring that we cannot turn ourselves into sinners in the first place. 🕊️

A Course In Miracles Workbook Lesson 234
✨ “Father, today I am Your Son again.” ✨

In this lesson, we engage in a kind of holy anticipation.

We imagine that we are at that future time when we have completely returned to God and we are fully, consciously His Son again.

What will that be like? How will it feel?

The answer to that is beyond our comprehension. But we can still imagine, and that imagination will pull us forward. 🕊️

A Course In Miracles Workbook Lesson 233
✨ “I give my life to God to run today.” ✨

What does it mean to give our lives to God to run today?

It means giving Him all our thoughts and all our deeds.

Why would we do this?

• Because His is “the wisdom of the infinite.” Could we say that about our own wisdom?
• And because His love is a tenderness we cannot comprehend.

That love is safely stored in each thought of His that we accept and each action of His that we carry out. And as we accept those thoughts and carry out those actions, His love becomes ours. 🕊️

✨ What if the key to a happier day isn't getting everything to go according to plan?

Instead, what if it’s simply learning to place each decision in the hands of the Holy Spirit?

In this practical and personal article, Greg Mackie explores the Course’s powerful “Rules for Decision” through his own month-long experiment putting these teachings into daily practice.

He breaks down how morning preparation, frequent reminders throughout the day, and spiritual "restoratives" can help us step out of the trap of trying to control everything and become willing to ask for another way of seeing.

✨ In this piece, Greg shares the tangible shifts he experienced:

- Deepening inner peace amidst daily challengesReceiving unexpected, practical guidance
- Receiving unexpected, practical guidance
- A renewed willingness to be of service
- Ultimately, experiencing simply more happy days

If you've been looking for a down-to-earth way to integrate the "Rules for Decision" into your routine, this article offers a wonderful roadmap.
