YOUR COMMENTS ON THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION SERIES 30 DAY PROGRAMS AND TELE-CONFERENCE STUDIES:
I just wanted to send my thanks and gratitude for the Tele-Study Application Series that we've been taking part in. I really can feel the guidance and instruction from Holy Spirit through the first 3 days that I've completed. I've been hearing a continuing theme as well that seems to connect each reading with the previous one...it just continues to astonish me how well Spirit knows me and how perfect a teacher He is.

Great class...I really love your materials, format and focus! I really think you have captured the essence of what this is all about both in the study materials and the way the courses are run, etc...at least that is my experience. I also really liked everyone on the phone, it seemed more intimate. Thanks again for all the work you put into this!

I'm having an inspiring time.....still re-reading, many times over, the first 7 lessons. I love it!
I'm loving the insights and see more and more every time I read it.
So I'm being led to go slowly and even to repeat..... It will be good to hear the other's report tonight.

I have been studying the Course diligently for the last 4years. Doing the Practical Application Series, is deepening not only my understanding of the Course but really applying it to my life on a daily basis.This 30 Day Program is helping me to see how practical the Course itself is.
Creating with Spirit the daily Practical Application card is giving me a focal point for moment to moment reflection throughout the day.Many times it has brought me back to peace during the day. It doesn't mean my days are perfect but it does help how I deal with situations that could cause me stress and ulcers.
I now am able to laugh at the insanity of it all. It is really collapsing time in regard to mind healing and serving the Atonement.And, it teaches us that no matter what happens we can still make decisions about the truth of Who we are.
I know that it is for me to recognize the hypocrisy of trying to claim both the illusory world and the Real World as truth and be willing to look at it, address it and forgive it. I can use everything to help me to remember the Truth. I don't need to crucify myself for indulging in the illusion but know that I can always choose once again. My goal is to walk my talk.
Thank-you Deb and Paul for all the work you have put into serving God's plan for awakening by helping the Sonship wake up. I could hardly wait to work on all of them.

"Wow!" is all I can say about your programs.First, I want to tell you how real the two of you are. When you speak, you don't preach and speak from a superior position. You are here in the trenches with the rest of us as equals. And, not only that, you are honest and you make mistakes, just like the rest of us!
Secondly, in relation to the program. I am so happy that I got this. It has helped me to connect with my Inner Source. Others in my group try to tell me their opinion of what to think about certain pages in the Course but I knew that what I was getting was right for me. This program helped to affirm that for me. It is an individualized curriculum with Holy Spirit and He talks to me the way I need to be communicated to, in words that I understand.
Thanks for encouraging Course students to go within and not seek outside for all the answers. There is so much information out there,but it is "in here" where I will receive it all. You guys are awesome and I am so grateful!

Just alone with Day 1, I felt the reconnect with Inner Self allowing myself to be guided and be refreshed. The more that I do this,the more it helps me to grow and to receive messages. My desire is to be in more regular communication with Holy Spirit, to remember to think about watching my mind and asking for His help. I know that I am just making baby steps but just with the steps that I have made I know that I am traveling far.

I am having a tremendous amount of growth after one week as I have dealt with pain and loss. I have needed to accept what is and my choice has been for gratitude for all the gifts of healing that have come my way. Now I want to have more time for prayer and meditation, I relish the conscious contact with God.

Working this program is helping me to slow down. I have been so busy with my work most of the time that I forget to take that precious time for Self. When I do it makes all the difference in the world. Connecting with others as I have in the group study with this material has brought me additional insights that I would not have had on my own. It is in the sharing process that I reap the benefits as well.

I have been dealing with various difficulties in the world. Even though I know what the Course tells me, that this world is an illusion and all, I still experience myself here in this body with all these situations going on around me. Working the practice and remembering to actually apply the ideas to all that is swirling around me really does help. Anyone can talk about concepts, but it really is shown when the rubber meets the road. It is in this stirring of the pot, the rising of those undesirable thoughts that I in turn hand over to Holy Spirit that I then find the healing and peace. As Rev. Deb says, "Holy Spirit works with us wherever we are." That comforts me greatly. I don't have to hurry up or rush my way through the process I can simply just be gentle with myself and I like that.

Appreciation and Gratitude:
"What is Possible when two people Commit and Dedicate their Life and Purpose to being Teachers of God?
Rev. Deb & Rev. Paul have done exactly that, and the Result is ONEderful, Truly. Note how We Are One when Holy Spirit Sees Through Us and We Teach & Demonstrate It Always.
The Content of Love that is Expressed through their Teachings comes through and touches all who are Blessed to hear and know them.Their Teachings Shine wherever they go, and Holy Spirit's Plan for them is a Blessing for Us All, as they demonstrate in everything they do and Teach, in A Spirit-Led Life, Only Love Is Real."

"As I sit and listen to them teach, I share thanks and gratitude for them creating a wonderful space to soak in all the peace, light and love.
I notice the way they move so well together where one stops the other picks right up, the oneness of it all, the fluid movement of their teachings without any boundaries or separations. Thank you both."
