Everything I'd read and studied in the Course was evident on the medicine inside that tipi. God Is. I learned more in one night than I had in years of studying metaphysical books. But I didn't practice all I'd learned and I let my depressed ego, alcohol and abandonment issues take me closer to death's very door. However, as fate, karma and prayers would have it, I ended up in prison for 2.5 years on an aggravated DUI, instead of dead, where I stumbled upon the Courses' Manual for Teachers in our library. Soon, I had the entire book sent in free to prisoners and was reintroduced to Jesus again, with all the time I needed to study every word of that lengthy text.
After twenty years, I must be old enough to get it now! In time and with the help of the Course, I was finally able to forgive myself for the bizarre life my ego had constructed. I did the daily lessons again, trying to see the face of Christ within each inmate. That was not an easy one. But I left prison a changed, free sober man, much better for the experience and with a first draft book about it all under my belt. Today, I have eight years of sobriety under my belt and my book Still Singing, Somehow won the fall Pinnacle Book Achievement Award. Manifestation Miracle This is a very condensed version of my story- an odyssey of one soul's karma.
From the early times of the witch doctors and magic potions to the New Age realms of biotechnology and DNA sequencing, there were and indeed still are those who believe that disease and sin, repentance and cure were all connected and those who never believed in the concept of sin or punishment in the first place.
