Dear Joe [Spirit Light Outreach]

I'm sure that you get plenty of mail from inmates writing to express thanks for the books you send out. But how can I possibly express what I feel what you you have made possible for me. I owe you my happiness and joy-how can anything re-pay you for that?

Joe, what you're doing is far more valuable than you understand. I'm sure that many of the books you send go out to people who really don't want or value them, or to people who can't understand what they're reading. Many seeds hit the ground but only a few grow into a mighty oak tree.

Gary Renard's book, [The Disappearance of tyhe Universe] is a Masterpiece! The book has opened my eyes to so much and cleared up many issues for me. Robyn's book [Robyn Buishfield, author of Forgiveness is the Home of Miracles] has also been very helpful to me in understanding that everyone has a rocky road working through the workbook [of A Course in Miracles].

I have been studying the "Course' for two years now, and it's just now really beginning to pay off. My brain feels like it's been re-wired and I'm hardly the same person who arrived in prison 30 months ago.

I want you to know that I'm fully committed to returning myself to my original wholeness and teaching and helping otherts [to] gain their freedom as well. I love you Joe- I will never forget what you made possible for me. Just know that every once in a while a real student arrives and your books become like bricks of gold- so valuable and priceless.

I'm 63 years old now and any books (the ones you sent) afre my most valuable possesions. The one life you touched thru me will go on to touch many other lives you can't even imagine. God bless you Joe- Can't wait to meet you in person.

I learned particular method of meditation many years ago when reading the very first book I ever experienced on the possibility of salvation or "enlightenment."  I kept the 'technique' for 35 years and continue to do it all the time. The book was Remember, Be Here Now, by Ramm Dass.

I tweaked it slightly after being introduced to ACIM but for the most part it has remained entact all these years. Now I share it with every event and every Course gathering.

It goes like this:

(1) Sit quietly (upright in a chair or flat on your back with no pillow.) Begin by breathing effortlessly in through the nose at the count of four and out through the mouth at the count of eight. (This untraps stale air.) This constant attention to the breath also prevents any negative thoughts to enter. It's like trying to sneeze with your eyes open.

(2) Feel the sensation of Life as it flows through every aspect of your Being. We can facilitate to body to help us do this by beginning with the feet. Feel the feet...the sensation of them touching the floor. Feel every feature of the feet...the toes, arches, heels, ankles, tops of the feet...first one then the other. Let this sensation simmer and saturate for a moment.

(3) Holding this sensation ( while consciousnessly aware of the breath,) feel Life as it flows up from the feet into the lower legs...the shins, the calfs...all the way up to the knees. Hold that sensation for a moment.

(4) In holding that sensation, feel Life as it flows up from the knees into the upper legs...the hips, thighs, seat...all the way up to the base of the spine. Connect this sesation with all of the areas thus far covered.

(5) Holding that sensation (consciously aware of the effortless flow of breath), feel Life as it flows up from the base of the spine through the full length and breath of the back. Feel the muscle, bones, skin...everything...and allow it to come to rest on the shoulders. Give permission to the muscles of the shoulders to relax. Now connect this sensation with all of the areas thus far covered.

(6) Holding this sensation, feel Life as it flows down from the shoulders into the upper arms...the bicepts and tricepts, now the forearms and backarms,...now the wrists, fingers, knuckles, tips of the fingers and the palms. Feel the warm vibrating sensation as it moves by your direction to all of these areas. Hold this sensation for a moment.

(7) In holding this sensation return your awareness to the shoulders and the back of the neck and back of the head. (Consciously aware of the breath) feel Life as it flows up the back of the neck, the back of the head, the crown, and now the forehead. Feel the tenseness between the eyes begin to relax. feel the eyes,...the nose, the cheeks under the eyes around to the ears...now under the nose, the lips and mouth, in and out, and benieth the mouth to the chin and benieth the chin to the upper part of the neck area...and be consciously aware of the breath as you feel Life flow into the upper chest area and now down through the torso, connecting with all of the areas covered. Hold this sensation for a moment. Let it vibrate, saturate...actually feel it.

(8) In holding this sensation expand your awareness to include everything in the room. Feel every 'other' person.  Feel the chair or bed, the floor, cieling, walls, windows, every molecule of air. Hold this sensation for a moment.

(9) In holding that sensation expand your awareness now to include the whole building or area you happen to be. Feel the neighborhood, town or city. Feel the state or providence or local. Feel the continent, feel the waters that surround it. Feel the earth as you precieve it, spinning on an axis around a sun, center of what is percieved as a solar system, one in millions that appear to occupy a galaxy,...one in millions that are perceived to populate the universe. And with every breath in, feel all of that breathe in with you.... Hold this sensation for a moment. Let it simmer....

(10) As you breathe 'everything' in, do so with the underlying conviction, that beyond all bodies, and beyond all planets, stars,galaxies and universe' exists 'something' that is the substratum for it all. 'Something' gave 'us' the power to be aware and know that we are aware. And this 'something' is traditionally referred to as Source or God.

But relinquishing all pre-concieved notions of what this Source or God is, look out (with eyes closed) just over the horizon of the eyes. There in the near distance is tiny light. Shimmering brightly like a star in all directions. And as we look it looms closer and closer, larger and larger, until it's light encompasses everything...It is everything. We can also envision moving closer to It hand in hand with a guide...an angel perhaps or a brother, like Jesus.

And smiling happily we approach the Light. And just before we step on the threshold of the light, an altar appears at our feet. And upon this altar, we would place, as gifts to Sourse and God all of things that bind us to this world we created. All of our notions, our loves and hatreds, our like and dislikes,...all of our 'justifiable grievances'...all of the stuff we think we need for sustanance. And we would do this because, we would have no other idols...no other gods before Him.

And the altar accepts our gifts, willingly and gratefully and blends with the Light, and hand in hand with our guide, our angel, our brother Jesus, we too merge and become One with the Light.
