>Dear Friends,
>Workbook lesson 193 in A Course in Miracles says, "All things are lessons
>God
>would have me learn." This does not mean that God causes anything to happen
>in the world, but through His Teacher, the Holy Spirit we can see the real
>purpose for every event that does happen in this world. On September 11,
>2001, our country was marked by the tragic devastation of terrorism. It is
>a
>week later as I write this note to you and it is now time for us to see a
>deeper purpose in this action of insanity.
>
>Terrorist acts are done in secret and darkness to promote fear and wreak
>havoc. Their intent is to disrupt the status quo, to make us feel alone,
>vulnerable and separate....to throw us off our feet. Terrorism is an act of
>cowardice. It assumes no responsibility. It thinks its attacks are an
>action
>of strength and might, but it is really an act of weakness. Sound like
>anything you know? Perhaps the ego?
>
>As this country was awakened by terrorist attacks, so, too, can we be
>awakened by the "terrorist" thoughts in our own minds. It is time to take
>those thoughts of hate and attack that you have been holding in the dark
>recesses of your mind and bring them to the light, to the Holy Spirit, to
>see
>the real purpose that God would have us learn. The unforgiving thought, the
>irritating co-worker, the irreconcilable family situation are all like
>missiles of hate launched at our hearts. It is time for us to take
>responsibility for them so they can be healed. We take responsibility not
>in
>guilt but in love, because we want to be healed...we want peace. We need to
>bring these thoughts to the light for our peace and for the healing of the
>world.
>
>We are told in the Course, "Forgive, and you will see this differently."
>This
>is now our prayer. We can make a difference in the world as we heal our
>minds. Don't let your ego divert you from looking within. It may be easy to
>begin to point blame at those in other countries or those in our own, but
>now
>is not a time to be distracted. We must be vigilant for God and His Kingdom
>and that Kingdom is within. Find peace this day within your heart. Take a
>moment to turn to God, to remember the Love that is your essence .... to
>allow forgiveness to be your function ... and to let the healing of your
>mind
>be your goal.
>
>The Center is here to help you. Along with all the Center's free services,
>I
>have written a few articles on the events of September 11 that are now
>posted
>on our website. Perhaps you would like to join with other students and talk
>about your feelings. We invite you to come to our chat room or Course Pals
>board. You can also call the Center for in-person support, or find a study
>group in your area by requesting a list by phone or finding the information
>online. Last Wednesday night in the Center's study group we talked about
>this
>event and we would like to offer you a free copy of that tape or CD. Simply
>contact the Center. Together we can forgive and see this
>differently....together we can transcend fear and darkness ... together in
>love the power of God will prevail.

>God Bless you,
