Using the symbol of a sailboat, John Mark uses references from ACIM and other sources, to outline some stages of the spiritual path. The process of “undoing” can bring disorientation as we recognize the valuelessness of what we once held dear. Attempts to direct our awakening under the efforts of our own mind will soon leave us adrift, and will increase the disorientation. It can feel like a ship caught in a windless doldrum. Rather than becoming depressed, or abandoning the path, we can see this as an indication that we have neared our final act of willfulness, which is … Read More >
If there were a special relationship that was prohibiting your awakening and you didn’t even know what it was, would you want to know? In this dialogue, John Mark reminds us of the nature of special relationships and the Holy Spirit’s role of restoring them to the function God gave them. Then through the use of an audio clip from Raj/Jesus and a movie clip from “Revolver”, he brings us face to face with our most cherished special relationship. On the night it was first recorded, the answer brought the room to a stunned silence as those present felt their … Read More >
We look in an infant’s face and feel awe. A baby smiles at us and we instantly smile back. A toddler laughs and we delight. The baby even cries in perfect innocence. We are deeply moved by the presence of innocence. What if we knew that the innocence we attribute to a child was merely the reflection of the original innocence in which God created us? What if we knew, in the depth of our soul, that we remain in that original innocence NOW? It is our nature, our identity, our Being. In this dialogue, John Mark reminds us of … Read More >
In this Joyful Dialogue John Mark plays a Channeling of Jesus/Jeshua thru Paul Tuttle. In that Channeling Jesus likens our ego’s to “halloween costumes” we have chosen to wear. No problem at all in that except we have became identified with them and forgot who we really are. He encourages us to look within to access Christ Consciousness and look past the ego costumes all others appear to be wearing. In doing so we awaken to the Truth of all Being which is True Now. Jesus Joyfully asks us to “Come Out” of the closest where we have dreamed our … Read More >
Have you truly considered what God sees when he looks at you? The mind may first offer the “correct” answer by saying He sees perfection, or innocence, but then it will remind you of some flaw or failing, and thus is revealed how you see yourself. In this dialogue about Christ Vision, John Mark provides the symbol of a blank sheet of paper to remind us of the pure, and fully allowing Consciousness that is our True Being. We write our story – any version we choose – on this blank sheet of paper. All is accepted, all is allowed, … Read More >

We can’t experience this world without moments of feeling completely lost in our mind. That’s because we had to create deep, deep confusion before we could believe the tiny mad idea of our separation from God. John Mark shares a map, revealed to him by Jesus, that illustrates the steps we took to make the illusion appear real. We can follow the map back, reversing our steps and thereby piercing the defenses we created to hide Heaven. This process of forgiveness offers us everything we want. This Dialogue was recorded March 1, 2013. Follow this link to download the mind … Read More >
The Course in Miracles asks us to come to God with wholly empty hands, free of any concepts we have of who we are or what God is. No thoughts of right or wrong, good or bad, what is worthy and what is not. We are even to drop any concept of the spiritual path, being told that God needs no help in finding us. But we may not know how to empty ourself. John Mark shares a technique given him by Jesus to create a clean slate. It’s simple and only requires our willingness. The Course identifies intellect as … Read More >
