We don’t know what a single thing is or is for! Every artist starts with an empty canvas. Then follows an interpretation. John Mark shares how Jesus guided him into being the empty canvas by questioning the meaning of every image, emotion, thought, and form. Then Jesus re-interpreted their meaning in the light of True Being. He gave John Mark the symbol of water to illustrate the unchanging nature of Self. Now John Mark shares his contemplation of the qualities of water to demonstrate who we really are. Are you ready to be more listener than thinker?

Life is neutral…really? Really! John Mark explores some of the beginning lessons of ACIM to challenge our deeply held beliefs about this world. When we understand that all objects, events, thoughts, and emotions are inherently neutral, we can take total responsibility for the meaning we place on them and for how we experience this life. When we return our power of choice to conscious awareness and no longer leave in the hands of the ego (the sleeping sub-conscious mind) we truly begin to awaken. This dialogue was recorded January 18, 2013.

Why the “myth” of the spiritual path? Because it is an error to think that we are traveling at all. The Course in Miracles calls it a journey without distance, to a place we never left. We already are where we wish to go. We have never left Heaven. We only dream of the impossible, the tiny mad idea of separation from the Father. John Mark shares beautiful passages from ACIM to underscore our true Being in the ever-present, ever-Now, Love of God. John Mark also uses a simple exercise to introduce the idea and experience that your mind is … Read More >
Welcome to the end of the world….of fear! This world of separation, born in a tiny mad idea, is quickly evolving into the new earth, the world where Love is all there is. John Mark invites us into the movement from fear to Love by viewing the world from the Holy Spirit’s perspective. See form move to Spirit, fear to Love. Present day symbols are re-interpreted as a reflection of our rising consciousness. World-wide changes in form represent our one Mind’s desire for connectedness and remembrance of our true nature. This dialogue was recorded December 21, 2012.

This week’s feature for Waking Up to the Movies is: When a Man Loves A Woman, Friday Nov. 30, 6:30pm
Ego is the greatest addiction of all. We explore some of the ways the ego manifests as Ego Wars in relationship.
Plot: Michael and Alice Green (Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan) appear to be the perfect yuppie couple. They live in a cozy San Francisco home and have two lovely young daughters.

As we move into the week of Thanksgiving, we often pause to consider all for which we are grateful, to count our blessings as the saying goes. I opened my mind to Christ for guidance on this note and I was surprised by what came.
We are so rooted in our physical body/mind experience, that if you were to make a list of things for which you are grateful, it would most likely be full of things. Yes, form or stuff. I was moved to share a simple request.
Will you please join me in being grateful for the … Read More >
Awakening is a process of becoming increasingly Aware of how the Ego mind plays its games of separation. Some of these games are overt, while most are very subtle. John Mark shares six primary ways in which the Ego works its desire for separation and specialness. It is only when we become Aware, that we are able to choose to let go of those fear-based ways of thinking and being. This Awareness leads to True Forgiveness. You can use the simple standard of “Do I want to be right or do I want to be happy?” Look deeply within at … Read More >
We all want more Joy in our lives. All spiritual paths promise Joy. So where is it? John Mark asks what does The Joy of Cooking, The Joy of Sex and The Course in Miracles have in common? All promise Joy, but the promise cannot be found in the text themselves. It is only when we move into direct experience that we can truly experience Joy. A true Joy that defies description. This Dialogue was Joy filled with much laughter from those attending. John Mark also guides us to an experience that moves us beyond concepts. This Dialogue was recorded … Read More >
