Jesus: A New Covenant ACIM, A Message toA Course in Miracles Students pdf is complete and posted on this website for free download at the link below. It contains all 20 chapters as well as terms and beautiful pictures with quotes. We thank Jesus for the guidance to put this together so that it can be shared and extended to all ACIM students as well as students of non-duality. This is a powerful yet simple means to extend ACIM as all have the power to recognize and accept Light immediately, no waiting.
This joyful message from Jesus to nondual students is a valuable re-translation of the beliefs given in A Course in Miracles to the desire for objective experience. This text is not for discussion. It is for contemplation and reflection to see that everything given by Jesus in A Course in Miracles is true by direct experience.
Jesus calls Light Circles revelation readiness, thus contemplating the text and Light Circles are a powerful combination. We welcome you to join Light Circles twice each day.
Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.

Gift to the Joining in Light Center from Donna and Mighties from Namaste Lake Chapala
Beloved Mighties,
Someone asked on Facebook about how Jesus: A New Covenant ACIM came about. It feels pretty ordinary...
I have been hearing Jesus clearly for a very long time, the voice began while volunteering as a coach in Wisconsin prisons 20 years ago. I didn’t really want to talk about hearing Jesus so it took a lot of convincing by Jesus. So much convincing from Jesus through mystical visions and repeated Jesus related miraculous encounters that I marvel at how Helen and Bill jumped in so quickly to scribe the entire ACIM text.
Like Helen, Jesus told me I was embarrassed by him and he was right! For a long time I didn't say much about it until this website was created in mid 2014. I shared one of the mystical visions in the video the home page of this blog. I had been doing the Course for several years and started following prompts to go to places around the world. After so many miracles and mystical experiences directly related to Jesus --such as in and around the Garden Tomb and Holy Land in Israel, a hall of apostles in Louisiana, holy encounters lost on an Island on Bali it became inescapable that he was communicating directly about a function I was to follow as far as what would be most helpful for healing the mind. All the while I was praying for a direct and easy way to transcend personal identity.
In January 2019 I started typing one day and chapters poured out. At the time there weren't any chapter titles, just chapter numbers. There was no intention to have a book. Just typing what I was hearing. I shared the chapters as they came with no expectations with several longtime course students and teachers while I was staying at Namaste Lake Chapala in Ajijic Mexico. I was surprised when they kept asking for more chapters. I thought everything was pretty much covered in ACIM. Apparently Jesus has other ideas. I didn’t know if more chapters would come, I would just type and then ask Jesus about everything, line by line for me. (and still ask constantly, What do I need to see here?) Mostly it was just direct typing the chapters. On a few occasions I was typing back and forth Q and A of sorts with Jesus, much like Helen's notes, and a few paragraphs were incorporated from this discussion. Overall not any significant editing, other than punctuation and capitalization.

As the chapters appeared they were shared with those interested, mostly on a small facebook messenger group that anyone interested can join and with many ACIM students at Namaste Lake Chapala. Then Jesus said to start extending Light Circles twice every day. And I was directly experiencing with Jesus how fast and helpful it is to go through with him each re-translation of the beliefs to desired experience to see through them. It was unexpected to find as I looked with Jesus at the Chapters line by line that so many beliefs from ACIM text/desires were still attractive and thus desired experiences! even though I had been an ACIM student since around 2008. This direct looking helped greatly to clear those beliefs/desires. It was like a personalized honing in on what needed to be cleared. Yet still no expectation for a book. Someone offered to make audios for the first chapters, thus the Audiobook for Chapters 1-10 was created.
Brief Video about writing the chapters:
Around March I shared the chapters with Vicki (Poppe) Thomas who was visiting Namaste Lake Chapala. When I heard from Jesus to go to Boston for the ACIM conference in May, Vicki asked me to talk about the book for a few minutes in her session at the conference. She offered to print the chapters (perhaps there were about 16 at the time) into a book to give out at the conference. Yet I heard from Jesus at that time not to print a book, just provide chapters. I told this to Vicki and she said, "You just keep following Jesus", so no book was printed for the Conference. I love Vicki Poppe so very much, how blessed to have this Mighty Companion so true to God. At the conference she gave me the blue light ring that I talk about in an early post. What a beautiful reminder that we are always joined.
I attended the conference with so many devoted to God. Amen. I was guided to open the Joining in Light Center in San Juan Cosala, Mexico in May 2019 with those devoted to full service to God. So no book planned or in process until about 4 chapters later—about a month ago (around June) Jesus said, it’s done, extend to all ACIM students. And that is basically how it came about. It took years to be convinced over and over and then finally not so much time needed to type once I finally said yes to the Voice for God. And to follow Jesus without exception to find the happiness of the happy learner.
Going through the beliefs and desires described in the chapters with Jesus to directly see and quickly release the denials has been beyond the beyond. Also, tuning into the Voice to hear clearly is joyful. Everyone can hear this Voice, unless there is a choice not to hear it. My experience is that sometimes- particularly in the beginning it was often more like a felt sense. Now it is a full on conversation about anything I ask about, particularly when it comes to clearing tension/pain/denial, and also for guidance instructions -what to do, who to connect with, etc. The voice is very specific and the more listening, the clearer it becomes. For instance I've been guided to read the urText and Jesus fills in the blanks when I have questions about meaning of things in the text. In a lot of ways the discussion is like the discussion Jesus had with Helen written in the notes in the first draft of ACIM. I've posted some YouTube videos where I'm asking him about different things like the underlying causes/beliefs and desires for headaches and nausea, etc. and worked through those with him. So much happiness in this.
Today I asked Jesus, is it possible for everyone to hear your voice as clearly as Helen? He says, "Yes, otherwise how would you recognize what is said in ACIM as of value?" Helpful point. There is only an idea that what appears in text such as ACIM, A Course of Love or A New Covenant is unique or special or that one being can hear Jesus more than another. This is an idea and would deny the fundamental Laws of the Truth that God is in everyone and Lesson 49, God's Voice speaks to me throughout the day. Jesus says the form it takes of listening/hearing is unique to each expression of consciousness to reduce the level of fear, as the whole world was made to deny the Voice for God. As we see from Helen's experience even though she scribed the Course beautifully she was very ambivalent and chose not to believe it or fully follow teachings of the Voice. So hearing and writing doesn't do anything, or reading the course, unless we follow what he tells us.

How did Jesus: A New Covenant ACIM come about?Cay2021-04-04T13:04:16-05:00
Truth appears to be stranger than fiction—that we are Infinite Light seems stranger than the fiction of the world—because there is a desire below subconscious awareness to deny the truth, Infinite Light within. Jesus says we (the ego desire to deny Divinity) want the truth to feel strange, so we can push the Light of Infinite Being out of awareness!
This movie seems very strange at first, yet what it points to is natural and powerful. There is only One, there is no "other". Waking up from the dream of suffering is seeing there is no one who "did it to you", it is all desired experience, an appearance within consciousness to pretend to play as more than one. As soon as there is the idea of an other, victims and victimizers are "born" in the dream of separation and suffering.
This 2014 science fiction thriller is an opportunity to look with the power of the Light at the belief in a story line, the belief that there is a "me", the idea that someone "out there" is doing something to a "me". While the lead characters are looking for the fizzle bomber—the idea that there is someone who can bomb and someone else who can die from the bomb and thus may be saved—the hunt in form for a victim and a victimizer, the Light of Truth reveals that neither the victim nor the victimizer exists. One character asks another, "If I introduce you to the one who ruined your life, would you kill him?" This is the hunt in form for somebody who done me wrong song. Proof that something is occurring, that in the Light of Truth can never occur.
This is the ego desire to kill and be killed, the death wish. This movie has it all—it points back to the decision to deny Divinity and that there is only One—there is no we, only the One speaking to itself and pretending there is more than one. It is the perfect demonstration of Chapter 9 on Sexuality in Jesus: A New Covenant—the answer to Jesus' question, who are you having sex with? Click here to download the chapter.
Finding the fizzle bomber is to find the Self only in the Light of Truth. No perpetrators, only desired experience, the fulfillment of the desire to experience death, abandonment, pain and suffering—all self inflicted. All made up characters. Thankfully, God has a better plan for perfect happiness, the Light that does not know desire to experience "other".

I've long had a love for Toothless since the first How to Train Your Dragon movie came out in in 2010. If you haven't seen it, Toothless is the dragon from How To Train Your Dragon and Hiccup his Viking partner are both powerful symbols of innocence, acceptance of Divinity, following the Light within, and joining in holy purpose. A friend gave me a little stuffed Toothless (pictured below) that I recently gave away on a prompt from the Holy Spirit to Joyce's daughter, Christina, who was on her way to live in Guadalajara, and Joyce shared that this was a holy inspired miracle as they had just watched the movie. Joyce shared that she realized from watching the movie that even if Christina moves away, they are always together in the heart.
Throughout this movie series Hiccup quickly chooses to see Light over Darkness and thus love over fear, to the benefit of everyone. Truth over denial of Divinity. Sometimes it seems that we have to "go against" what everyone else is doing and believing in order to follow the Spirit, yet this is following the heart of Truth and denying that the Son of God can be harmed.
God is completely on our side when we choose Love over fear, as Love is our Divine Nature. The only way to the recognition of Divinity is to step outside of our comfort zone, for the ego has made a comfort zone to block the recognition of Divinity. Hiccup continually steps outside of his comfort zone in the power of faith and trust that is far beyond this world. All power is given to those who follow the Holy Spirit as Hiccup quickly discovers. Where he feared that he would be rejected for befriending a mortal enemy, it seemed to reflect out as being rejected at first, yet with perseverance to stay with what is true all the world follows and will also seem to choose love over fear.
Acceptance of Divinity and Infinite Love is for ourselves, and Toothless and Hiccup become mighty companions that inspire all to the recognition that things regarding fear and dragons (the Ego) may not be as it seems. In the end, all of the Island of Berk is filled with inspiration and joining and Hiccup has stepped into holy purpose to serve the whole–extension of Love to all.
How to Train Your Dragon 2, 2014
The movie opens with Berk transformed with new mighty companions and many new joining opportunities. While there is a new appreciation of Dragons, there are also games of competition being played in form. Competition seems fun, yet this is a delay in the recognition of Divinity, as there is no one to play against. There is only One. Hiccup is nowhere to be found, as he is in extension, exploring with his mighty companion, Toothless. Yet he is still uncertain of his role, the role he is to "take over" from his earthly father as Leader of Berk. Now 20 years old, he is being pressed by his father, Stoick the Vast, to succeed him as chieftain, although Hiccup feels unsure he is ready. Is he up to the role and function in Berk?
In the Light there are no leaders and followers, as all is One. There are never questions about leadership, this is a disguise over the question of who our real Father is. This is a doubt about who we are. And there seems to be a wound for having "lost" his mother when he was a baby. Is this true? The Holy Spirit will show us that our only role in this life is recognition of Divine Light and thus to cease to deny that we are already whole and complete. Again there seems to be an outer enemy to the Dragons and thus to Berk, yet the question is, is this true? Is there an outer enemy? Once again Hiccup stands in the Light with Toothless when Toothless seems to do (in the ways of the world) an unpardonable act. Hiccup tells Toothless, "You didn't mean it, bud" and "It's you and me together, as one." He chooses to see innocence in his mighty companion. This is salvation.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, 2019
One year after the events of the prior film, Hiccup, Toothless and their fellow dragon-riders have filled Berk to capacity. Now the search is on for a Hidden World to protect the dragons.
Yet the search for a hidden world is the search for the world of true Life; the unending Life offered by the Light of Truth. We have hidden ourselves in a world of fear and and danger. We can not escape the world by moving to a different location, although the Spirit may suggest that we change a location to help us see what is true; we are beyond time, space and location.
There are many great joinings in this movie, which demonstrate the commitment Hiccup has to truth and serving the whole. And in the end, to serve the whole as Divine Being is our only function, the only function worth having. In order to serve the whole and celebrate who we are we must let go of old relationships and ideas that no longer serve us in the recognition of Divine Being, and trust that the Holy Spirit is in full support of every being. We celebrate the time we have together, and this mighty companionship of Hiccup and Toothless has served them both in the recognition of Love without limitation. Love does not need proximity to prove it exists. Love is who we are, and thus is everywhere. Hiccup never compromises on Love, and neither should we.

The first time I saw the movie, Now You See Me, I thought, what is the big deal? Didn't like the movie at all. Thankfully Jesus has shown me how wrong I was. Watching the biopic, Now You See Me I and II,is an action packed journey to see beyond the illusion and look directly at the grievance (denial of Infinite Light), the belief and thus desired experience of death of an earthly father as a symbol of the belief in death of the Heavenly Father. This is the same as a desired experience to deny what (deep down) we know to be true: that the Father can never die or abandon us. Infinite Light never dies.
Jesus tells us in A Course in Miracles that the Son of God believes he has been abandoned by the Father, and thus carries this grievance against himself to deny that the Father can never abandon him. Meaning, that it is impossible to experience separation from God and death unless we desire the experience to feel separate. This denial is hidden in a grievance that is held below the level of awareness.
These movies together demonstrate the power of collaboration (joining in holy purpose to see the Light of Truth) and following the Light within (Holy Spirit) so that the long held grievance–the illusion of separation–can be seen as untrue. Amen. When we see that we deny God a place in our heart and that God–the Light–never denies us, this is the fastest means to wake up to Divine Love. We see that all along we have been denying ourselves all the Love God has given us–the great illusion–and thus can quickly cease to deny ourselves perfect happiness and wake up to all the Love as granted by the Father. As long as there is one thought that God or an "other" is doing something to us, we are dead to the recognition of the Light within.
In this movie the Light is called the "All seeing Eye"– a reference to the "All seeing I" or the Holy Spirit–the Light within.
In the first movie the 4 horsemen–magicians–are brought together under mysterious circumstances and a higher calling. It seems that they are performing magic and illusions. The question is, What is it for? It seems to be that somehow by following they are getting closer to the light. In the meantime it appears that someone is the "guilty party." Who is guilty and who are the horsemen "stealing from" and giving money to? Who is stealing from whom? This is a "who done it"–who stole the money and who is wrong? Who is responsible for the illusion of a grievance?
The team works together at the direction of the mysterious All seeing Eye. There seem to be uncontrollable forces trying to "catch" the horsemen. At the end of the movie a "culprit is found" and put in prison. It seems that the team of magicians come together in the end to discover who the All seeing Eye is. In this discovery a character who seemed in opposition is now a mighty companion, and they all end up in the Light. Yet when we look closer we realize that this is merely a glimpse of the Light, as there is still a grievance below the level of awareness. Carefully notice what the lead character is saying about the manufacturer of the safe and the insurance company in the last scene of the movie. Is this a healed mind? There is still a grievance that must be healed.
If even one character is left in prison, all are in prison, and in the end, even this must be seen through new eyes... the desire to imprison our brother is the desire to experience imprisonment of the mind and deny Divinity. All magic of the world is denial of Divinity. This is the great illusion that must be seen through, that the Son of God can be separate from or abandoned by the Father.
The second movie opens with the grievance that has been hidden. A magician prepares to perform a magic trick where he is locked in a safe that is dropped in deep water. He tells his son to count the seconds to his escape, but when the time comes there is no seeming escape from the safe for the magician. The son holds this grievance of death of his father (desire to deny Divinity) by keeping guilt and this grievance remains hidden as the boy schemes to bring the perpetrators–those who seemed to "cause" the death of his father–to justice. Yet God does not know this form of justice. God–the Light–knows there is no victim and no victimizer, no perpetrator and no death.
When the horsemen come together again in this movie to perform magic together once again, this is for the seeming purpose to trick the "enemy" through illusions. Yet they have fallen for the illusion and thus have fallen asleep in the illusion. There is no waking up without admitting that a choice is made to deny Divine Light. Working together they open to Love–the love and appreciation for each other that represents the Love of the Father–as the Father sees all in the same Light.
At the end of part 2, as all horsemen come together to finally see the Light - the Eye of the Eye, one of the lead characters asks the other, "Why didn't you tell me?" The answer, "Because you were not ready." He could not recognize the Light in his brother because he used the grievance to deny the Light in himself. He admits that 30 years IS a long time to hold on to a grievance that can be forgiven instantly.
Readiness to hear the truth is essential in God's plan. All the seeming twists and turns trying to "escape" from illusion of these movies demonstrate that despite all appearances all things work together for the good. Each role played is essential to God's plan. Willingness to be wrong about everyone and everything of this world. And in that willingness is perfect happiness. So the "who done it" is always pointing back to who we are, when seen in the Light of Truth. What the ego would call "An Eye for an Eye," the Spirit calls an "I for an I, all that is." Amen.
In the Light of Divine Being we see that all brothers are One.
