A Course in Miracles Monk
For almost 15 years, from the moment I found it, I have been a devoted student of the spiritual path known as A Course in Miracles.
This has involved a sincere dedication to learning its underlying metaphysics, but above all seeking to live the principles of the Course. I prefer to live a quiet, monastic life, so an anonymous blog is how I have chosen to share some of the thoughts, lessons, and experiences along my path. Though diligent and sincere, I do not claim to know the Course metaphysics perfectly, – being a Course student is a lifelong, and highly individualized, process – so please read with that in mind, and always consult your inner teacher.
On a personal note, I cannot highly enough recommend the teachings of Kenneth Wapnick – you will see his influence throughout this blog. His workshops and writings have helped shape my study and practice of the Course, but it has been my personal experiences of his defenselessness and friendship that have most deeply impacted me, helping me to look upon my own defenses with ever-increasing patience and gentleness.
I hope you will find what I post here to be helpful in our shared goal: the journey without distance… the journey Home.

An anniversary party sounds perfectly lovely to me, Anil. We have much to celebrate. I am grateful for Le Monastère Beloved and all of it’s teaching, helping me to stay on course. There is no counting of the years it has saved me. I am grateful for the love it represents, and the presence of each and every one that whispers, posts, or remains a quiet presence.. it is all felt with wonder. I could not love it more, nor its readers… and its teacher, Head Monk.
Love,
Mother
