Beloved One,

Recently Helena and Jenny and I and a group of friends from Mallorca, Spain visited our friends Ulrike and Reiner and Eveline in Belgium for a series of gatherings.  The large mp3 files have been uploaded to the Internet and are available for your listening enjoyment.  Thanks again to our hosts who most graciously received us with warm hospitality and love.

The first large mp3 file is a discussion about Advaita Vedanta teachings and A Course In Miracles, and it is in English with some French translation by Armelle Six and Luc.

The next 4 large mp3 files were recorded at public gatherings at Ulrike and Reiner's Peacehouse in Gotignies, Belgium and contain discussions and new music from Helena and Erik that they had composed and recorded in Mallorca, Spain.  Fabienne Lison does the translating from English to French whenever there is a translation.

Beloved One,

Greetings of Joy.  The latest Newsletter from our Living Miracles Monastery in Utah includes articles by Lisa, Leila, and Suzanne and features the Servant of the Lord Thomas St. Claire, who is with us here in Mallorca this month.  Thomas will be flying back to Salt Lake City soon, and joining in at the monastery.  Our friend Kerri , who is also here in Mallorca this month, plans to visit the monastery in January & February and help out with media and transcribing with Thomas. 

Here is the Newsletter link:  http://miracles-monastery.org/newsletter/LMMNewsletter%20December%202009.pdf

The Newsletter is also now available on the monastery website at: http://miracles-monastery.org

I will be visiting Leila and Suzanne in Cincinnati on Christmas and 5 days after Christmas, and visiting the monastery December 14th & 15th.  I have a gathering on the evening of December 16th at the Garden Center in Salt Lake City, and I will be in Las Vegas December 17-24 and very early in the New Year before flying to Sweden.

Our Mallorca month long devotional retreat is ending in a couple days, and already there has been some discussion about having a 6 week devotional retreat in Mallorca next October and November.  I will keep everyone updated and posted on this as it unfolds.

Showers of Love,

David

Beloved One,

Blessings of Love and Joy.  Soon Helena and I depart for Europe, and after our
time in France and Spain and possibly Belgium we will have awhile to relax
somewhere before the gatherings begin in mid-January near Karlstad and North of
Stockholm, Sweden. We are at the point of feeling out where we shall go in
mid-December after our month on the island of Mallorca, Spain and possible
several days at our friend Ulrike's house South of Brussels, Belgium.  We feel
Mid-December to early January will be a time of rest and relaxation before we
continue on with our world tour, and we have even considered flying back to the
USA before resuming the tour.  We have also considered staying with friends or
finding a home or cottage or quiet space in Europe to nestle in for these few
weeks.  Please let me know your thoughts about any and all possibilities and
opportunities for this time frame this Winter.

Love,

David

Beloved One,

Blessings of Happiness.  Next week the world travels begin again, and a group of
us will gather in Paris, France for my first public talks and discussions in
Paris.  Renee is hosting us at her country house south of Paris, and Thomas and
Sarah and Jenny are flying in from Ireland.  My friend Isabel, who I first met
in Colombia when she translated for me there, is coming down from Reims.  I hope
to see my friends Caroline and Sylvain again, and Laurent is translating on the

be flying and traveling more miles than ever (the equivalent of one and a half
times around the globe).

A large group of us will be converging on the island of Mallorca for a month
beginning November 9th.  Two large villas, two apartments, and friends taking in
additional guests will accomodate the whole group, and events are scheduled
which will host even more people on the weekends.  It is our mini-Woodstock. :) 
Jenny has done a wonderful job of coordinating the month, Erik and Kerri and
Helena will be offering some music and songs, Lynne and Mary are the Mallorca
resident hosting angels, and dear, dear friends from Australia and Europe and
the United States and South America will all help make this month long
devotional a very inspirational Awakening Mind gathering.

After Mallorca comes gatherings in Belgium, a return trip the the USA, a
writing, arranging, recording session in Las Vegas, Nevada, visits with friends
in the States, gatherings in Sweden, a trip to Ubud on the island of Bali, a
Messengers of Peace reunion retreat in Noosaville, Australia, a 10 day retreat
in Kangaroo Valley, Australia, gatherings with Kirsten and Jason and Gary Renard
and his wife Cindy at the Kalani Center on the Big Island of Hawaii, and a

Beloved One,

Greetings of Joy! As we prepare for a weekend retreat later today at the
Awakening Mind International Retreat Center in Northern Kentucky, I am happy to
post a Youtube photo montage of our recent week long retreat at the Living
Miracles Monastery which was hosted during the first week of October. The next
week long retreat at the monastery will be the last week of May, 2010, and it
will include all the Messengers of Peace. Here is the angelic video photo
montage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV4DK7URpBg

This weekend includes the 3rd wedding at the church in Kentucky, as Armelle and
Erik (who was at the monastery and is pictured in the video photos above) will
be married on Saturday afternoon. Our friend Devan will marry Armelle and Erik,
and Erik's father and sister have flown in for the wedding along with another
friend of Erik named Jonni.

Armelle and Erik will join us in Mallorca, Spain and have been Called to a world
tour in their new life together. Erik's heartfelt, inspired songs and Armelle's
inspired dances will be used to shine the Light of God's Love as they continue
together in a lifetime of trust and no private thoughts and no people pleasing.

Last night we gathered at the Lighthouse for a meal and a viewing of the classic
movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." Harrison and Charles came down from
Detroit, Aydin and Angelica and Lola are visiting from Sweden, Erik recently
flew in from California, Armelle is visiting from Belgium, Pam and Noel from
Cincinnati came, Devan from Utah and everywhere is visiting, and Leila and
Helena and I joined in the deep Love and sharing.

Our 2 day weekend retreat in KY begins this evening, ad we are all so happy and
grateful for the opportunities to hare in the Community of the Heart.

Love You Forever and Ever!

Dear David,

There seems to be three different interpretations of "The script is written" ( "FACIM" and "Disappearance & The Secret," and "JBW" camps) idea by ACIM teachers/students.  There are many variations of these three as well. 

FACIM Version:

At time of the unholy instant all the scripts were spun out and every conceivable scenario was brought about.  But the decision maker in us can choose to listen to either the ego or HS and thus choose a different script every moment.  The more the decision maker chooses the HS, the shorter the time required for salvation.  For example if we make a left turn at an intersection, we will encounter a different script and we meet a set of people in different scenarios.  If we make a right turn we will encounter a different script and we meet a different set of people in another set of scenarios. Thus we can not only influence the script but also the time it takes to experience our Self.  Thus the decision maker has the ability to choose the miracle at any given instant and is in-charge of time.  When the mind is completely purified, it will be faintly aware of the objects in the physical universe as "wisps of floating feathers" and not as reality.  It experiences only the Great Rays of enlightenment.  This is the real world just outside the "entrance of the pearly gates."

Disappearance & The Secret Version:

At time of the unholy instant all the scripts were spun out but every conceivable scenario was not brought about.  Everything is happening in the present moment. And we build our dream by changing our thoughts (ideas) in the present moment.  As we change our thinking, the world and the dream changes as per our thinking.  This seems to suggest that we can influence the world by our thoughts.  We can decide not to experience some of the scripts and we could even bring about "desirable outcomes" through changes in our thinking and beliefs. We can cure physical disease or become wealthy for example. We can choose to experience enlightenment sooner through our personal effort. All things are possible. Universe is a quantum field of pure potential energy.  From this anything can be manifested into form by changing our beliefs and thoughts.

JBW Version:

The ego and the script were undone in the same instant they were made.  It was even accepted instantaneously and the universe was stillborn. There was no lag. Ideas leave not their source. Christ cannot leave the Mind of God. Even though the script was a chaotic mess, the HS made it work perfectly for its undoing.  This is the divine orchestration. But time was made as a temporary device for us to come to understand what happened. There is no decision maker and our changing thoughts can have no effect on the script or the world.  Our changing thoughts can have effect only on our inner experience and not on any material outcome. We may still experience physical illness but we will not feel pain or suffering after enlightenment.

Not that we need do nothing, but that we can do nothing. The Holy Spirit is totally in-charge and He purified the mind according to His plan. Even the day we experienced the Holy Instant and Self was also written. We can do nothing to make it come sooner or later.  We can never go wrong. All events, circumstances are being experienced perfectly and we can neither make it worse or better. The miracles are also built into the script.  It is not that we have to surrender to the HS, but we have surrendered but do not recognize it.  The process is like an automatic push pull mechanism.  The ego pushes the mind outward.  The mind feels the guilt and pain, recoils and gets pulled inward to the Spirit.  Gradually it is not pushed anymore by the ego and is established in the Light.

Many think the "Script" idea is key to awakening but find it very confusing to adequately explain it.  In your gatherings you have touched on it and it is quite useful.  It would be very helpful in bringing clarity to this idea if you would give a detailed talk on this topic followed by Q & A.

With many thanks and gratitude

Srini

Thanks for asking.  Holy Spirit will pull from the ideas above for the Answer you seek. 

Showers of Forever and ever Love,

 

David

My friend Donna sent me the following poem:

Beloved One,

Showers of Love. Lisa and Suzanne and Anna Carol and Erik are preparing the
monastery for our upcoming week long retreat Oct. 2-8. People are coming from
Salt Lake City and flying in from California and Texas for the retreat, which
begins a week from tomorrow. Erik and his Dad will be assembling a tent/canaopy
beside the house, Anna Carol arrives today with the Miracles Monastery van
loaded up with supplies from Cincinnati and things she picked up across the
country during the trip (including a sewing machine that was donated along the
way during lots of holy encounters). Suzanne and Lisa really have the monastery
ready for the gang that is coming, and the calls and e-mails have been pouring
in daily.

There is a new Living Miracles Youtube channel that features photos from the
Summer weekend retreat at the monastery that are in slideshow format. You can
have a good look at the monastery and the surroundings from the video slideshow

Helena and Jenny and I have just agreed to share a weekend retreat Dec.
12th/13th weekend in Belgium, and this time the retreat would be in the flemish
(dutch language) speaking part of Belgium. We hope to have our French speaking
friends there and meet many 'new and old' friends from Belgium and Holland at
the event as well. Our friend Tandara (Dominique Govaere), who organized an
event for my friends Nouk and Tomas, will be the organizer this time around.
Jenny will post more info about this Belgium weekend when it is available, on
the mailing list and on the Coming Events page of the main website.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

There is also an idea to hold a small, cozy 3 day retreat (10-12 persons) during
the week of January 12-14, 2010 in the small community of Vδrmland, Sweden. The
event would be hosted by our friends Mira and Per at their home, and
participants would stay in the nearby village.

We may also share a weekend retreat in the Stockholm or surrounding areas on
January 16-17, 2010 and we are open to a larger venue for this retreat. Both
ideas are still in the planning stages. :)

Blessings Everyone!

   Wow the Miracles just continue to flourish everywhere. I am out here in
Duchesne, UT fully in my function serving God. I am honored to be here joined
with so many willing volunteers who are just pouring their hearts out in
service. Keith showed up about a week ago and stepped right in to be my
right-hand man,managing the maintenance & grounds area and stepping into a
leader role while directing volunteers. Thank you Jesus! Suzanne is more radiant
than ever, cleaning and scrubbing, and rejoicing in the new life that is
unfolding here. Erik is also here serenading us with evening music and Paige
continues to organize and help set up church business affairs. They are all
calling me the Abbess of the monastery :0).  ( Abbott of the Monastery) so it
has been a lovely fresh joining with lots of new faces in the glee of excitement
as we prepare the space as The Messengers slowly move out West.

   The time here is very reverent like a monastery with much devotion to
listening
and following. Mornings start as a group at 7:30am with reading from the Course
and followed with a silent meditation, then open for sharing of miracles or a
time to bring up any private thoughts to the light for healing. After that we
all get right into our function for the day. It is such a blessing to have this
property to use as a playground of focused projects. Thank you Lord.

   We will be holding our first retreat here at the end of the month; August
29-30. It will be a silent retreat with some projects for joining. I will be
hosting the retreat monthly here until we depart for the winter months. During
the silent retreats we will be silent all during the mornings and afternoons and
then we will open it up in the evenings at 7pm for a light sharing, possibly
some music or a movie.

   Additionally, we will be preparing for a week-long retreat with David, Helena
and myself on Oct. 2nd-8th.  We are already half full for that retreat. If you
are interested please call soon; the space is filling up fast. Details are on
our main website.

   This space is perfect for the mind to come to stillness and know God. So
quiet.
I feel fully blessed. I was singing that song tonight, "I'm the happiest girl in
the whole USA". It is not really about this space, it's about the constant peace
that seems to be reflected everywhere. I must say that for the first time in my
life I can actually say I am totally content. The word "content" is so full and
whole. It just is. I just am. I am in a restful, content space. It feels so good
and natural just to be. All Glory to God and to all my mighty companions who
have helped me walk through all the seeming obstacles in my mind to be here now.
I love you all dearly and am forever grateful to be serving God with you all.

   If you are interested in one of our weekend retreats feel free to call me here
at Living Miracles Monastery for more information @ 435-548-2479.

   Many Miracles and Love to You All!!

Lisa

Beloved One,

We are so very grateful for all of the donations and offers of service and devotion as the Messengers of Peace begin the transition of moving our base of operations from Cincinnati / Northern KY out to Salt lake City and the area near Duchesne, Utah where the monastery is located.  This is a period of transition during the next year and the Messengers of Peace have lots of travel and retreats before their stay at the monastery becomes a residency instead of a place to visit for a time.  Already our friends Charles and Daupheni have moved from Cincinnati to  Salt Lake City, and with Lisa joining Suzanne at the monastery the transition has begun.  Jason and Kirsten and Jenny are in Canada for a 3 week devotional retreat, and all of the Messengers of Peace will join together at the end for a week long reunion.  Jason and Kirsten will fly to Edmonton, Canada at the end of September, and Jenny will fly to join our friends Sarah and Thomas in Ireland.  Then Jason and Kirsten will fly to Australia, and later in early November Helena and I will fly to France to join Jenny and our friends Fabienne and Thomas and Sarah in Paris before we all fly to Mallorca, Spain for most of a month in the area for a retreat at a villa and a nearby monastery.  The feeling now is that the Messengers of Peace will unite again at the Living Miracles Monastery in May of 2010, and there will be much that comes in these in-between months that you can read about right here on our Yahoo global mailing list (Awakeninginchrist) at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AwakeningInChrist

Stay tuned for more to come...

My days of answering hundreds of e-mails and sharing hours of phone counseling are winding down as well.  This Summer and Fall will include days of rest and relaxation and meditation, and as Kirsten shared in her recent message a few of us will be joining Jason and Kirsten and Jenny in Canada for the tail end of a 3 week devotional in early September.  In October I will be out at the Living Miracles Monastary http://miracles-monastery.org for a week retreat, and later in October I may yet venture down through TN and GA and FL for a mini road trip before I return to Europe (France & Spain) in November & December.

I hope you can join me in KY for the last Summer KY weekend retreat Saturday August 22nd and Sunday August 23rd and Monday August 24th.

In Overflowing Love & Gratitude,

David

Beloved One,

Showers of Happiness.  As I travel throughout Europe in 6 countries and plan to
return in November, I am aware of the many people and languages that are
involved with Awakening Mind and A Course In Miracles worldwide.  There have
been preliminary discussions with our friend Luc in belgium and Thomas (who is
now in Ireland) about using a Content Management System of website design to
more efficiently share the Awakening Mind teachings, using Ning.com online
groups for more interaction and discussion about Awakening Mind materials and
resources and networking among participants, and using our French, Spanish, and
Swedish domain names below in a more systematic and connected format.

Jenny will be arriving in Europe in October, and Thomas and Sarah are currently
sharing a peacehouse in Tipperary, Ireland and working closely with Awakening
Mind materials and websites and resources.  Ursulla shares a peacehouse in
Sweden, and Anne-Marie will be making Awakening Mind materials available from
her home in Southern Denmark.

Awakening Mind materials have now been translated into 6 languages: Spanish,
Portuguese, Swedish, French, Danish, and Chinese and eventually we will have a
more systematic website for accessing these AM translated materials easily.

Thanks to everyone who has offered their voluntary efforts in helping out with
everything that is unfolding here in Europe and around the world.  Our sponsors
and missionaries and hosts allow us all to share the glorious experience of
forgiveness and Divine Love so very freely.

This month began for me in the mountains of Miraflores, Spain and will end in a
beautiful valley in Utah, and I am always filled with suuch gratitude that I am
able to extend all the Love I feel in my heart to everyone I meet and think of.

Forever in Love,

David
