And along the way you will discover a great wealth awaiting you that has always been yours. But you didn't know it existed. You didn't know, so you had no right to it. Even if you know it exists but you don't know HOW to get it, you still have no right to it. The New Beginnings Practical Course in Miracles is one of the tools you can use to bridge the chasm of deception, illusion and ignorance. You will find professionals who can help you with mortgage elimination, to help you eliminate credit card debt, student loan debt, and eliminate taxes you have been volunteering to pay. That might seem like a significant miracle to you but it is real and available. This course will help you open your eyes, your mind, and your heart to receive the gift of being you. This administrative process works well but the banks are not honoring the terms of the mortgage agreement. When the debt is discharged they are refusing to reconvey the deed. If you wish to use the consumer protection laws passed by Congress, signed by the President and the regulations set out by the Federal Reserve, we can help you stop Predatory Lending by the banks, show you how to obtain monetary awards from the fines and possibly get your home free and clear of debt read about Mortgage Analysis Compliance PURPOSE: To prepare you to study: · Provides an outline of each of the courses on a gradient level · Provide an overall view of the achievements of the courses · Explains how to study each course to get the most optimum results · Explains the importance of defining words in the study materials · Details how to use a check-sheet, for the courses · Explains how to team up with one or more classmates · Explains how to drill routines and perform demonstrations of knowledge · Explains the process of compiling your course exercises for final exam FINAL PRODUCT: The ability to define and understand what you read. The purpose of this series of courses is to provide information to those who care enough to do something with it. Most of this information is referenced and documented. Some of it is theory and will be so stated as theory. We live in a world of fiction, the Land of Oz, where fact is hard to find. The information contained in this course will help you distinguish between fiction and the fact of what actually is. This course is designed to assist everyone to realize that they are free beings, with unlimited potential, who can create their own world, and be responsible for all events that occur in their life. This is who you really are. To the degree that one chooses to believe one is not responsible for something, to that same degree one is enslaved by one's own thought. It is not the purpose of this information to be presented as fixed unchangeable truth, for each individual is ever-changing their own world on a daily basis. Instead, it is information for you. Information you must prove for yourself, for your understanding. This will enable you to free your mind so you can create exactly what you want. It is information that will empower you if you want to be empowered. However, you can also choose to remain in an unempowered state, in fear, in resentment, in anger, in regret, that, too, is all right -- it is your choice -- remember, you are a free being. Quote From the Movie "The Matrix" There is a quote that applies perfectly to our present time. It comes from the Movie, The Matrix. When Morpheus is talking to Neo for the first time. We will, first define the words Matrix; Morpheus; and Neo so you will understand the statements a little better. Matrix: Its origin comes from the word mother. Female beast kept for breeding, the womb. Morpheus: Son of Hypnos. The god of dreams; 2. In the arms of Morpheus asleep; a deep sleep. Neo: Greek naus - to float. The following are direct statements from the movie:
You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees and expecting to wake up. You're here because you know something that you can't explain, but you feel it. There is something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it is there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?" Neo: "The Matrix." Morpheus: "Do you want to know what it is? The matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or turn on your television set. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. That you are a slave, Neo, like everyone else, you were born into a prison that you cannot see, that you cannot smell, or taste or touch. A prison for your mind. "Unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. Take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
"Take the red pill, you will stay in wonderland, and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, what I am offering is the truth, nothing more. Follow me." We do live in such a world. And for anyone who has been involved in the system to any degree, in court, County and City and National rules and regulations, a bankruptcy, or a foreclosure, you know something is very wrong. You look all about you and see the morals of this country creeping into depravity. People are in despair. Nothing seems real anymore and we can't put our finger on the cause. Something is wrong with our world. It bothers you like a "splinter in your mind". When you go through this course, like The Matrix, it will be life altering for you. You will come to know that you are in slavery. This will show you how we dropped into slavery. This will also show you how to free yourself from that slavery. This will affect everything you think and everything you do. This will expose the beast and deliver you to the promised land. Word Definitions We will begin this Introduction with a few choice words that apply to throughout this entire course level. The world around you has been designed to keep you in a dreamy, hypnotic state, to distract you from the truth. Throughout your entire life, others have verbally taught you the meanings of words. But have you ever taken the time to find the meanings and definitions of words for yourself? This world is filled with symbols of which you are not aware with the meanings of, words taught verbally by someone else that are not understood and your life is filled with misunderstood meanings that are just plain false. It's a wonder we can communicate at all. There is an opportunity to find the truth of words, without opinion, without alteration, without confusion. That is the purpose of this course. The derivation of a word is the key to understanding each of its possible numerous meanings. Some of the words defined in these courses have been traced to the Latin and Greek which date back over 2500 years. However, we have traced many words back to the original Hebrew and Sumerian. Are You In Commerce? One of the main words we wish to define at this point is Commerce and its various derivatives. Why? Because we live in a sea of commerce and are controlled by maritime law. We have so lived since the very beginning. It is very strange and confusing that even the lawyers, courts, and law enforcement in this nation appear totally unaware that we live in and are controlled by Commerce. Either that, or they are attempting to deceive us concerning the subject matter. Each time anyone brings up the matter of commerce in the courts, both the attorneys and the judges loudly exclaim "We're not in commerce here, Commerce has nothing to do with this court. We're under statute law." Try this for yourself, watch the outcome. They appear to be so sincere, so positive. It makes you wonder if they are actually ignorant of this fact or if they simply are purposefully deceiving us and are very good actors. Whatever the reason they all deny that we are in and under the jurisdiction of commerce, the fact remains that WE ARE IN COMMERCE throughout this country! We are embedded in commerce. Therefore, we must have a good understanding of what it means and how it affects us, regardless of ignorance or deceit on the part of the courts and the law. It becomes very revealing when we define the word and its various derivatives, when we go into the derivations and roots of the word. We will use Blacks Law Dictionary, The Random House College Dictionary, to obtain their meanings and to get the root and derivation of each word connected to the word Commerce. Then we use the Greek and the Hebrew and trace those roots and derivations for a complete definition. So, let's begin with the definition of commerce. Commerce The Random House College Dictionary defines Commerce as: 1. an interchange of goods or commodities; 2. engaged in commerce; 3. Sexual intercourse; 4. Intellectual or spiritual interchange; communion. (The root is Latin; to trade together; com plus marcari, from merc of merz, [Merchandise], goods). Then it says, See Trade. Blacks :Law Dictionary, fifth Edition defines Commerce as: to exchange goods, productions, or property of any kind; the buying, selling, and exchanging of articles. Intercourse by way of trade and traffic between different peoples or states and the citizens of inhabitants thereof, including not only the purchase, sale, and exchange of commodities, but also the instrumentalities and agencies by which it is promoted and the means and applications by which it is carried on, and the transportation of persons as well as goods, both by land and sea. The term "commerce" means trade, traffic, commerce, transportation, or communication among the several states. The word Traffic is defined in Random House College Dictionary as:
Traffic (n) 8. trade or dealing in
specific commodity or service,
often of an illegal nature; 9. To carry on
traffic , trade, or commercial dealings. 10. To trade or deal in a
specific commodity or service, often of an illegal nature. Traffic. Commerce, trade, sale or exchange of merchandise, bills, money, and the like. The definition of Traffic from the original Hebrew Kenan; to travel as a peddler; Canaan, merchant, traffic, to bend the knee in humiliation. Now the word traffic leads us from the Hebrew into Greek; we must go to the Greek word whore, as in Whore of Babylon, the Greek word for Whore is Pornos. Pornos: to traverse, to traffic, to sell, a prostitute, to dispose of as merchandise or into slavery. (slavery means to be security) The Hebrew definition for Whore is: Whore: highly fed and therefore wanton, to commit adultery, to commit idolatry. Next we follow the root word of West, the direction, has a similar root meaning as whore. The Hebrew definition for the word West means: West. To roar, a sea in breaking as a noisy surf. A large river, an artificial basin; shading the area as covering; evening shadow; to give or to be security; give pledges, mortgages. Commerce is dependent upon two other words: Value and Scarcity. Without these two words commerce falls flat and is unable to function. Create scarcity of anything and its value tends to soar. Decrease scarcity (by increasing supply of a thing) and you decrease value. This is how the power elite control our actions - by the control of scarcity and value in commerce. Supply (scarcity) and demand (value). The Greek definition of Value is: Value: To prize, to revere, money paid, to pay a price as a penalty; be punished with. When money is scarce, one generates a fear that one does not have any money. However, it is the lack of money that one fears, and therefore worship, giving worth to, i.e. value to, the god of fear. The derivation of worship is to create worth. Drill Demonstrate your understanding of the similarities between the above definitions pertaining to Commerce, value and scarcity, in our present time. Demo. No. 2. What, if any, part of your life is not affected by commerce. (You will learn how this principle will change as you go through this course). The Entire Course This program consists of 12 separate study courses with accompanying demonstrations, drills and tests. You can copy this text by highlighting it by clicking and holding the left mouse button as you pass over the text you wish to copy. Highlight the entire text and then either hold the Ctrl key while you press c. Then open a Word Document and hold the Ctrl key as you press v. Then you can print off this page and use it as your guide to answer questions and then get together with study group or team to discuss what you have learned. Basically, each course is a single state of your being. Where and how and who you are. You must realize that you and every one else on this planet are in some state of being. There are specific procedures of working your way out of your present, and particular state of being into the next higher state of being. These procedures are part and parcel of any activity in this universe and they must be complied with. And they will be compiled with whether or not you know or understand them. By following these procedures, step by step, it will take the chance out of everything you do, whether in business, personal finances or in your individual life. The variables are only how well you estimate the situation and how much energy you apply to the procedures. The next thing to know is that the proper application of the proper procedure works. It works no matter how idiotically it is applied only so long as the right procedure is applied and the exact sequence of steps is taken. Yes, brilliance only shows up in the speed of expansion. This expansion can show up in a single day if one is brilliant enough. Dull applications, given only they are correct, show up in slower expansions. One only has to estimate the exact procedure accurately and act energetically in applying the steps in exact order. There is one other thing to know. Knowing the procedures carries the responsibility of using them. These are the procedures. They do work like magic. If these procedures are not known or used, expansion is totally a matter of chance or fate regardless of how good one's ideas are. TABLE OF CONTENTS FOR PRACTICAL COURSES IN MIRACLES

THE NEW GAME (To be revealed) Not yet available How You Study These Packs These courses are designed for you to work with at least one other person. It can be you wife or husband, a family member, a friend or even with a group. The important thing is that you choose one or more person(s) to work with. If there is a group, then each member of the group will choose one other person to team with. Each one will take full responsibility for the other member of the team . You will make certain your team member knows the materials you study. He or she will in turn take full responsibility that you fully understand and know your subject of study. You will each be required to do drills throughout each course. The drills will be within each study pack. Word definitions are also very important part of this study. This will be taken up more fully in your study pack. You will learn how to demonstrate with various objects the abstract ideas you encounter. Your state of mind in how you approach this study will determine the results you get. You and your teammate will need to know what you are going to do with the materials you study. You must determine what you are going to do with the information you are drinking in. If either of you do not become fully involved in the study, "Oh this really doesn't apply to me" sort of thing is a waste of time for you both. This kind of thinking is the primary barrier in the ability to apply the material of the course. Interest in what you're studying will be maintained only if you can see that what you are studying leads to an attainable goal. Any piece of knowledge you observe or learn has value to you only if you can use it. ApplicationIn order to see its use and therefore its value, you have to invest some of yourself into it. You have to apply it to yourself and your life. When you are given a new idea or you read one, you should ask yourself questions about it. Ask your teammate about it. Does this apply to me? Has it ever happened to me? Have I seen this happening in life? Once you sort out an idea in this way, it then becomes your idea to make use of. To actually be wise, you have to be able to relate ideas and information to activities and actions and evaluate them for their own sake and their relative importance to other ideas and information. So its not enough to simply know ideas and information, you must know the ideas and information's use and where it belongs and how it fits together and how it aligns with what you're doing and what you intend to do. As you encounter these ideas and new information, discuss these with your teammate. How does this apply in our life? How can we use this? What other ideas and information come to mind? How does this work? Ideas and information become your ideas and your information only as long as you have evaluated it. (Definition of 'evaluate: to determine the significance, worth, or condition of, by careful appraisal and study. [root; back formation]. Test your teammate and have him or her test you, this will convince each of you whether or not it exists as truth. DRILL: Ask your teammate the definition of 'evaluate' without him or her looking at the above definition. If they cannot properly define the word, have them look it up in a dictionary and have them write down on paper that definition. Then have your teammate ask you the definition without you looking at the definition. There will be certain key principles throughout the materials of the course. If you learn to think with them and apply them, you will have superior information that will resolve the problems you're faced with. Before you begin your study, decide with your teammate, what your purpose is for taking this course and what you would like to achieve. Write your purpose and what you want to achieve down on paper and give it to your teammate. Important Note Definitions of Words When you study, be very certain you never go past a word you do not fully understand. You will need the following reference manuals to study the course materials: 1. The oldest fattest dictionary that you can find. 2. A Black's Law Dictionary, preferably a Sixth or Forth Edition. 3. The Uniform Commercial Code Manual - must include Article 9 Section 600's. 4. The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance with Greek and Hebrew dictionaries included. This manual traces the King James translation of the bible to the original Hebrew (for the old testament) and the Greek (for the new testament) to the primary root of the words so that you can understand the meaning of the word when it was originally spoken over 4,000 years ago. The only reason anyone gives up a study or becomes confused or unable to learn is that he or she has gone past a word or phrase that is not understood. If the material becomes confusing or you can't seem to grasp it, there will be a word just earlier that you have not understood. Don't go any further, but go back to BEFORE you got into trouble, find the misunderstood word and get it defined. So take responsibility of your team mate, watch him or her closely. If they seem confused or somewhat droopy, have them to go back and find the misunderstood word and define it. DRILL: First, start with a clear notebook of paper. This can be a tablet or the papers can be placed in a three ring binder. Second, Write out the word on the left hand edge of your paper, starting from the top of the page. Third, write out in your own handwriting, the entire definition given in the dictionary Be sure and include the derivation in your definition. For example: Word: 1. something that is said, 2a a speech sound or series of speech sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning without being divisible into smaller units capable of independent use. 2b a written or printed character or combination of characters representing a spoken word [derivation: ME (Middle English), fr. (from), OE (Old English) akin to OHG (Old High German), wort-word, L (Latin) verbum, GK (Greek) eirein-to say, speak, Hitt(Hittite) weriya- to call, name] That's the way you write out each of your definitions. DRILL: Ask your teammate the definition of 'word' without him or her looking at the above definition. If they cannot properly define the word, have them look it up in a dictionary and have them write down on paper that definition. Then have your teammate ask you the definition without you looking at the definition. DiagramsWhen you diagram, draw stick people for people. Then draw objects and actions that demonstrate the idea or concept that you want to communicate to your teammate. Your teammate must be able to recognize your idea or concept from the diagram you draw without your assistance or any hint from you. Then, have your teammate diagram his idea and concept to you in the same manner. DRILL: Two people communicating with words from one to another. Demonstrations You will see the word DEMO throughout these courses. This refers to a demonstration done with a DEMO KIT which consists of various small objects such as corks, caps, paper clips, old pen tops, batteries -- whatever will do. These are kept in a box or container. The pieces are used while studying, to represent the things in the material being read. Demonstrating helps make concepts and ideas more real. A demo kit adds mass, physical matter, and reality and action to the theory and so helps you study. When you are required to do a demonstration using your demo kit, simply take whatever items in your demo kit to represent the ideas you are studying. You move the pieces of the demo kit making them demonstrate what you are studying. The pieces of the kit represent the things you are demonstrating. They help hold concepts and ideas in place. The idea becomes real with two coins, a paper clip and a few coins. They can be seen and felt. Your teammate can demonstrate the idea to you in this manner and you for him or her. Explain what the objects represent and what you are doing with them. The idea is to actually have the objects showing action, not your explanation of it. If you are not clear on something you are studying and you have looked up all the words, you may use a demo kit to help you work it out. In this manner, you connect to what you are studying to what you are doing. You name each piece as you present the idea, and it doesn't matter what piece you use. This is the beginning for you to learn HOW TO CREATE. The piece is what it is - because you said it is. Example: Take out a pencil (or other object) from your kit. Call this a 'man' and set it down on the table. Next, take out another object from your kit, a paperclip or other object. Call this object a 'word'. Take out another object from your kit and call this one a 'woman'. Now, show with your objects, a 'word' coming from a 'man' and going to a 'woman'. Now, demonstrate by using different pieces from your kit for each word in the sentence you choose. Let's say you choose, the man says to the woman, "I will go to the store." DRILL: Now demonstrate this to your teammate and have them do the same back to you. DRILL: Now do a demonstration of another concept of your own. Practice with this idea a little with each other. Understand what you're doing. A story about Understanding The explorers were in route to the "New World" sailing around the tip of Africa in massive ships driven by large canvas sails. The ships anchored a safe distance offshore and used long open boats powered by oars to bring a small crew ashore. Never having seen white men or their ships before, the natives asked the men how they arrived in that part of the world. The sailors pointed to the ships anchored offshore with the large white sails. The natives looked in the direction and, no matter how hard the natives tried, they could not see the ships. It was the shaman of the tribe that began to try something new. He discovered that in using his eyes differently, the image of the ships began to "appear" in his view. As he began to practice this way of seeing, others soon began to "see" the ships also. Within a short period of time, nearly everyone in the tribe could see the ships, even those who were not there to meet the crew as they rowed ashore. The tribe had learned a new way to "see" and in doing so had experienced the boundaries of their external world; a human example the one-hundredth monkey principle. It becomes increasingly important, now more than ever, that your beliefs must not be limited by what you have been taught. You are learning to trust yourself, your own feelings and the process of your life. Within this world you have choices and you have free will, you have an opportunity to realize your full potential as a divine expression of your creator; becoming a creator yourself in the process. A portion of these lessons is that of the power of thought. You are learning that your feelings, as well as your thoughts, are "something", not just pictures in the eye or your mind or sensations of your body. As you think and feel, you create; is there ever a time that your are not feeling? You are, quite literally, creating within each second of your life! Perhaps without full awareness of the process, you are learning to function within the context of an extremely sophisticated system of creating "seed thoughts", amassing energy around those seeds, and bringing together components of the energy necessary to "gel" the seeds into your reality. Even the technology of present day, one hallmark of sophisticated, user friendly systems is the unknown complexity behind the scenes, providing the apparent simplicity to the user. The user does not have to know the intricacies of the system - only the ability to use them as they were designed. Similarly, you do not have to "know" or understand any of the workings of your system of energy - you can just "be" in the purity of your intention. This is the beauty of this lifetime; you may choose to know if you wish - or just be in the experience and the outcome can remain the same. The ability to create (manifest) is a skill available to each individual; a direct result of three components of thought: 1. CLARITY For a thought to become "real", it must be a clear, concise and sustained pattern of energy. A thought that remains a "fuzzy" collection of constantly changing patterns is probably incapable of sustaining itself long enough to crystallize as a manifestation. In the event that it does, it may appear to you as a series of incongruent, possibly confusing situations, mirroring the "blueprints" which it is attempting to express. 2. DURATION While clarity is a key component, without the ability to sustain the clarity, the seed is not maintained for a time sufficient to develop as it descends into successively denser levels of experience. It is a copy of the blueprint that is passed down through the creation matrix, gathering the energy at each level to sustain the energy for a decreased period of time. 3. INTENTION It is the energy of emotion, intention, that sustains the thought-seed as it descends the creation matrix. At any point, the seed may dissipate if the sustaining energy (intention) is lost. As the magnetic fields of earth weaken, as it is increasingly weakening by the day, the thought becomes increasingly potent and less energy is required to sustain the energy for a decreased period of time. MEDITATION AND PRAYERMeditation. [L meditor, meditates meditate; akin to medicus to heal, to cure; from Greek medos care.] to dwell on anything in thought; to cogitate; to turn or revolve any subject in the mind; to plan by revolving in the mind; to intend; to think on; close or continued thought. Prayer. Hebrew siyach contemplations, an utterance, to ponder, converse with oneself. Greek deesis a petition, request; from deomai to beg (as binding oneself); from deo to bind, tie, wind. Do you notice the similarities in the two words? Both are about thought. Both are describing the action of "turning or winding." It could be said that the intention is to "look at a thought in your mind from every angle by turning it so that you can SEE it from different points of view until one understood it." One would undoubtedly get a very clear picture of anything if they did this effectively enough. The fundamental difference between prayer and meditation is that the latter offers a silent space in which to hear the higher power talk to you. In prayer you are speaking to that higher power and in meditation you are listening. The above words may each be considered as a form of thought, as each involves the use of directed intent, body circuits and a shift of body frequency through thought. Both meditation and prayer may be accomplished thorough specific techniques tailored to a specific purpose. In each of these circumstances, the individual initiating the prayer is asking for intervention from a "higher power" toward a situation over which he has been conditioned to accept a sense of powerlessness. Traditionally, we have been conditioned to view ourselves as the creation, yet superior to that which surrounds us. We feel separate from all else and in that separation we are unable to see, or identify with, the forces that "drive" creation, including the body. Feeling helpless to address events that unfold within our world and our lives, "things appear to just happen." A fundamental concept, developed within ancient mystery schools, and shared in the traditions of indigenous peoples and Eastern religions, is the idea that the human form is a part of creation - not separate from it. As an integral part of creation, the individual plays an important role in the causes of events within that creation. These ancient concepts are just as valid today as they were six thousand years ago. You are, and always have been, a part of all that you see at that point of resonance you are aligned even closer to the energetic patterns to which your thoughts have carried you. In this resonance, or "oneness", you have the opportunity to plant and nurture seeds of your creation. It is in the space of resonance, attained simply from your patterns of thought coupled with feeling that you may direct energy most efficiently, consciously and with intent. It is in this space that you become the creator of your experience and may impact the events of your world while regulating the response of your body to that world. You intervene, on your own behalf, through the acknowledgement of your oneness with creation. The process that has allowed you to accomplish this tuning may be considered as a high form of mastery, using both directed thought an prayer, meshed into the process commonly known as meditation. To BE or not to BE The way that most ancient native peoples, such as the Australian aborigines and American natives, manifested their thoughts is that they "became" the thing that they wanted. For example, if they wanted water or rain, they would use the phrase "pray rain," not "pray FOR rain." The peoples would "become the water." They would "taste" water, "feel" water, "smell" water, "hear" water, "see" water, to the point that they would "become the water." All senses would be activated in the mind and create a space in the universe - a vacuum if you will - for the purpose of holding a space open so that the intended substance could "flow into that space" and manifest itself. A universal principal is that the physical universe cannot maintain a vacuum and it will flow material into that space until it balances itself. This is how you use the universal principals to your advantage. You have agreed to the universal contracts, you might as well take advantage of them. It becomes apparent why meditation (to dwell on something) may be an effective, though passive, form of intervention. You are aware that the experience of each individual affects the whole to some degree. If this is truly clear to you, then it also becomes apparent why it is not enough to pray, for example, for peace in the world. This may be well intentioned, the request for peace, in and of itself, but is incomplete. The highest form of intervention that anyone may offer within a given situation is not to ask for something to be, rather to become that which is desired. If peace is the desired reality, peace must become the reality within your experience. You must become that peace. It takes a relatively few number of "reference points" within the whole, to bring about change in the expression of that whole. All this said, this is the lesson of the explorers and the native Africans in the first paragraph at the beginning of this segment. Please RememberWithout exception, all that you experience is in part of your journey home, Your return. Each situation or circumstance that your draw into your life is the result of the very powerful energy you have expended to bring this healing to light. Try to become aware of anger, pain and frustration from this perspective. Each is an expression of, and resolves to, the fundamental energy of fear. Embrace the opportunities as they cross your path. You are more powerful than any fear that you may imagine. The fear is only a fragment of you in your totality. You, in your completeness, are of greater substance than any one fragment standing alone. You are an expression of divine love; a thought generated within the heart of no dimensional boundaries, do not conform to polarity, duality, ego or fear. Note: Pay it ForwardAs you've noticed, we do not charge money for these courses. Instead, we pay it forward. If you have not seen the movie, "Pay it Forward," we suggest that you rent the movie and watch it to know what we are talking about by Paying it forward. At present time, we have hundreds, perhaps several thousands of people across this country now in possession of these courses and using the principles contained within. Here is the way the process works: When you get this course, you are requested to e-mail or give one copy to at least three different people that you know will benefit from this education and knowledge. You should take full responsibility that each one studies, learns and applies the principles contained herein. You should also request that each one who receives this course from you pay it forward as well. Start your own study group. It is more effective when you study with others. It is a necessity to study with at least one other. There is tremendous power in these courses. We can get out country back, one person at a time, by using the principles and techniques contained herein.

As useful as the New Beginnings courses are, they should not be taken as error-free nor as the most up-to-date process. This administrative process works well but the banks are not honoring the terms of the mortgage agreement. When the debt is discharged they are refusing to reconvey the deed. The consumer protection laws are the only way to obtain mortgage relief at the moment. It is based on black letter law, passed by Congress, signed by the President and the regulations come from the Federal Reserve itself. We recommend professionals who have the experience and knowledge to avoid the minefields of the UCC and Courts. 
This is a crazy world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for each individual. Not only does this end personal debt, it places the people first in line as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study.
