A Request for your help
Dear Student of A Course in Miracles,
Do you, like me, long to see the message of A Course in Miracles take root in the wider world?
Do you, like me, ever wonder why it hasn't already happened? And do you, like me, ever wonder what more we could do to make it happen?
If your response to any of these questions is a "Yes," I think you might be willing to join with me and my colleagues at the Circle of Atonement in what we can only describe as a lofty project.
Helping the Course take root in the world
Imagine, if you will, a time not long from now when the Course's treasure house of wisdom, healing insight, and pure, egoless love is open not just to the few, but to the many. A time when the Course's unique light is set free to shine wide and bright for all who are open to its message.
Imagine what a gift to the world this would be.
In answer to a world riven by attack and counterattack, we could plant the seeds of a world of joining. A world in which, as the Course's message spreads and takes root, gentleness prevails. A world in which the battleground at last grows quiet. A world in which fear, now seen as the illusion it always was, simply fades away, for peace to reign instead.
This is an extraordinary vision. Yet, as you and I both know, it's this exact vision-this promise-that Jesus holds out to us in the Course. All he needs is our willing participation, to help make it happen.
Will you join with us?
At the Circle, we've been focusing on this vision for many years. For the most part we have held it quietly and privately, but now our guidance has said that it's time to say it more openly, and to ask people to join us in our endeavor to bring it to fruition.
Hence, the accompanying piece entitled "The Promise of the Course: A Statement of Intent." It describes as plainly and directly as possible what we at the Circle hold in our hearts. I hope that you will take the time to read it.
To accomplish this vision, we will need to join together. Nothing moves in this world without people joining their efforts in a common purpose. So, if our vision stirs something in you, please consider making a gift that will help make it possible.
And be assured that your gift will make a difference. In the coming months, we will be moving forward on the projects listed below. Will you help us by donating:
- $1,000 to help us broaden the reach of our web site by making it easier to locate for those many people who are searching for information on ACIM?
- $500 to reprint 200 copies of Bringing the Course to Life, a book that is in demand but currently out of print?
- $250 to help us produce an electronic course based on our widely acclaimed book, Path of Light?
- $100 to help us produce 75 copies of a new CD, bringing the spoken word and reflective exercises as an experiential complement to our written material?
And, if you commit to a regular monthly gift, this will help us even more.
That's because regular giving helps us to plan our activities with far greater confidence. Rather than living "hand-to-mouth," we can be bold and commit to even quite long-term projects, knowing we have a sustained, reliable income to fund our work.
Please show your support today, if you can.
Clearly, there's a lot to do. But with your help, as I said, I'm confident we can achieve our goal. I'm confident we will be able to share the extraordinary blessing of the Course with a wider audience.
So, will you help us? If you answer with another "Yes," just as you did at the beginning of this letter, please click here, or on one of the links at the end, to go to our donation page. It's great to have you with us.
And thank you. I, and my colleagues, hugely appreciate your support and generosity. Your gift will be put to good use, straight away.
In peace,
Robert Perry
P.S. To repeat, a recurring donation is even more valuable to us than a one-off gift. You'll see a link at the end for regular monthly giving. If you are able to do this, that would be absolutely wonderful.
P.P.S. For those signing up for regular giving of $20 or more a month, we will promptly send a copy of our new, not yet released CD, Visualizations for the Journey. This CD is a series of visualizations inspired by various Workbook lessons, written by me, accompanied by beautiful harp music, and read by Allen Watson.
