I took A Course in Miracles, ACIM, and have always wanted to be able to share my innermost thoughts through transformative writing and I did so by writing a book titled “The Narrow Gate, A Journey Through Identity, Belief, and Perception. Before I started this ACIM type writing I took some refresher classes in creative writing through The Long Ridge Writer’s Group, and while writing a 500-word short story assignment I became entranced with what turned out to be my 52,000-word spiritual narrative about universal natural law. I’ve heard many creative writers talk about reaching a jet stream of creativity. Now I know what they mean. Everything I had ever learned and experienced spiritually came to the surface in writing my manuscript about The Narrow Gate, A Journey Through Identity, Belief, and Perception. For two years I pulled from my old writings on identity, belief, and perception. Hours went by in blocks of ten. I expanded and pieced my creation together.
Among the topics included in the mix are the law of attraction and principles of vibration, anxiety and panic disorder, reconciliation of a repressed memory, man-made-fear-based theology, its cause and effect, forgiveness, projection, illusions, the list goes on. In A Course in Miracles format, the message in my depiction of identity, belief, and perception is to show how we can still manage to listen to the wind song of life in a chaotic world. We can learn about the narrow gate opening to absolute reality of ACIM.

that by some fuzzy logic what goes aornud comes aornud, but the Course defines this in exact terms; whether it’s God or our fellow men, if we put up a defense against Him/ them, we’re doing the same to ourselves. By judging others, we judge ourselves, and as a child, by learning to hate myself as a sinful creature, I also learnt to hate God, even though on the surface I thought I was a devout God-fearing’ Christian. The bottom line is that the Course allows you to bring along your doubts and to let go of them gradually as you become ready to do so. But most of all, A Course in Miracles is a source of healing for everyone. If you’re depressed or otherwise mentally unstable, suffering in some way from your past, or just stuck in some unlucky’ life predicament, this book is a way out. Like several reviewers mentioned above, I never believed that one book could change my life. But it did. And I want it to do the same for anyone else who still wants to believe that there has to be more to this broken-down world than eating and working and sleeping and breeding and dying and then just maybe a Big Mean Judge waiting at the end. It’s not easy, it’s not instant gratification, but it’s a solution and a permanent one, and it doesn’t involve a bullet or fast train.
