Glenda’s Bio

Hello My A Course In Miracles Friends,

Because I know the diligent practicing of true forgiveness, turning your day over to Holy Spirit and doing Jesus’s meditation five minutes in the morning and night, can result in the release of your inner light,  I am setting up this web site to share truths from A Course in Miracles and steps I have used which resulted in the release of my inner light and my knowing of the Great Rays which connect each of us to eternity.    I am doing this in hopes that something I say or write can assist others in taking  back control of their mind to ultimately result in the release of your inner light.

A bit about me. I co-owned a business with my husband for over 35 years here in central Florida. We manufactured and shipped building kits  into 47 states and 13 foreign areas.  After my husband’s passing, I closed the business in November 2018 to retire and remodel my house and yard.  As of 2021, my life is dedicated to sharing my spiritual experiences resulting from my applying truths from A Course in Miracles.

I have studied the Course since 2004.  Since 2013 I have facilitated the Course various places here in central Florida.  Due to Covid in March 2020, my weekly ACIM meetings at Unity of Melbourne stopped.  In October of 2020, I learned about Lama Surya Das at the Dzogchen Center in Cambridge Mass who  teaches Buddhist truths many of which parallel ACIM truths.  As a result of Lama Das asking questions of his students such as, “Can you love the things you hate?”  “Can a dog be God?” I realized with Holy Spirit’s help that, “No I was not loving the things I hated” with HS’s  help I was shown images of people and things I really did not like and told to practice saying I love you to each person and thing.   By this constant practice of loving what showed up in front of my face and images that showed up in my mind, I could actually feel something drop into my mind.  Later I realized it was  love’s presence that had dropped into my mind.  Now upon reflection, I realize because of my practicing of true forgiveness Holy  Spirit could heal unconscious guilt then I could ultimately know the Great Rays which are contained in each person’s spark or arc of light.  As the Great Rays come in and go out of my mind (which I describe below), thoughts of separation from my brothers and God were removed allowing for  “room for His eternal Presence” to occur.    That eternal Presence is of course, God or Love’s Presence to be revealed – which was naturally there, but was covered/buried by egoic thoughts.   I then started to understand what Jesus means by: “There is only love or the call for love.”   All this resulted in me ultimately reasoning with myself, “If God is all-encompassing love” then that means all my brothers, everything and myself are all-encompassing love.  And because I could feel that the light in my mind was being soaked through and through with eternal love because  the loving feelings I was starting to have were removing blocks to my awareness of its presence which was always there but hidden by my hate thoughts.   I now call the light I see in my mind and that is in all minds but is unseen by most —–  lovelight.

As of February 2, 2021, I currently facilitate a weekly A Course in Miracles meeting each Tuesday night via Zoom from 7-8 pm EDT.  To participate simply click on the following link  (you do not need a passcode): https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83167203017

I have a YouTube Channel named Glenda Carlin A Course in Miracles where I post each weeks A Course in Miracles Zoom meetings.

In 2014 in preparation for my ACIM weekly meeting, I was reading in the Course and came upon a paragraph which said I could not have one dark companion and must accept the entire Sonship in my mind to enter God’s Presence.   My immediate thought was: “Oh s____, then I will never be in God’s Presence” – because I knew I was still judging people and how was I going  to accept eight billion people into my mind?   I instantly said out loud and with  desperate desperation, “Help me, Help me, Help me, Holy Spirit!”  He  immediately gave me the image of Gary Renard’s book Disappearance of the Universe.  This book explains A Course in Miracles in linear fashion allowing the quicker understanding of the Course.

Because of Renard’s book I learned what true forgiveness was and started the practice of saying “All of It” to whatever showed up in front of my face and to images that showed up in my mind.   With determination and persistence for four and one half years, I daily practiced true forgiveness, turning my day over to Holy Spirit and meditating  and in March of 2019, my spark of light (arc of light) was released.  10 days later the Great Ray experience started.  During that first time when the Great Rays came in and went out of my mind, Holy Spirit had my life pass before me in my mind where images from my childhood, family, school, college, all jobs/bosses/co-workers, all relationship partners, the business staff/customers that I co-owned for 35 years, etc. passed through my mind.  When this started to happen, I knew I was to practice true forgiveness on each image.  So I did.  I said: “All of it” or “You are spirit, whole, pure and innocent. All is forgiven and released” to each image.  This first light download and forgiveness process lasted over three hours. 

The Great Ray downloading experience continues to this day whenever I focus my attention on the column of light which is above my head or I just focus on the light that fills my Mind.    During the download,  the Great Rays extend in and out of my mind.  Generally first my head moves to the left while the Rays are shining back into darkness to remove the past and then my head slowly moves to the right and upward while the Rays shine forward unto God to make room for his eternal Presence.  This light download and my head moving left to right, back and forth over and over again can last 15 minutes or over two hours.  I can start and stop at will now and start again.   While the light is coming in and going out of my mind, Holy Spirit shows me images of people and things to practice true forgiveness on and shows me images that I had forgotten to practice true forgiveness on that day,  images of people or things who I do not believe are immortal spirits (so I can practice more forgiveness on them) and Holy Spirit gives me things to do to make my day to day life easier.   By me practicing true forgiveness on these images while the light is downloading, results in more thoughts of separation from my brothers and God being purified from my mind.  Holy Spirit tells me that He is not just purifying my mind from thoughts of separation from God and my brothers; but that He is purifying the one collective egoic mind of thoughts of separation from God and its brothers.   

Sometimes during the download process, my ears pop and I need to yawn in order to equalize the pressure in my head as my mind ascends up to the light.  Also a few times over the years I hear a high pitched sound which slowly gets fainter as it goes in the distance.  When I ask Holy Spirit what that means He tells me that I changed into a different dimension of time and space due to my forgiveness work resulting in Him being able to heal more unconscious guilt in my mind.   FYI, Jesus teaches us we have each agreed to our “script.”  My understanding from Holy Spirit is that within the “script” there are different dimensions of time and space which we each also agreed to and depending upon our ability to practice forgiveness on what shows up in front of our face will result in the shifting to other dimensions which contain less hard knock experiences seeming to happen in our life and ultimately in the waking from the dream of separation from God and our brothers.  We waken to realize we are the dreamer of our dream of false images.  We are the maker of the hallucination.

 At will I can focus my attention on the Great Rays (which is my true Self) and the download of light will start.  In this light is union with all my brothers and God and loves presence.

When I want to “be” with the light or “rest” in the light, I focus my attention on the Great Rays which are now the light in my mind and I just “be,”  “rest”  in the light.  Each time I do it, I am only aware of the Great Rays and not my body.  At that instant I have no skull or head, there is only my awareness of the light and it extending out of my mind.  More and more often during the day, I can look out from my mind and see the clear, invisible God Light spread out in front of me with the false images in the background.  As my mind is purified there are no thoughts – as a result at times what I see out there is what I see in my mind – Holy, pure, clear lovelight of perfect Oneness spread out everywhere.   Of course, I do not put the body in harm’s way, I still alert to what is happening around me, go to the grocery store, balance my check book…..but all while I am doing these things I know I am watching my own dream play out.  I continue to practice true forgiveness on all the images that show up.  Here is a section in the Course which explains this:  T-15.IX.3.  “In the holy instant, where the Great Rays replace the body in awareness, the recognition of relationships without limits is given you.  But in order to see this, it is necessary to give up every use the ego has for the body, and to accept the fact that the ego has no purpose you would share with it.”  When the Rays are downloading and leaving my mind, I think of this part in the Course:  T-18.III.8.  “You have found your brother, and you will light each other’s way. And from this light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto God, to shine away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the light.”  

Some thing which has greatly helped in my ability to instantly  be able to “be” with the light is having a Holy Relationship with another person where I join my Christ Mind with their Christ Mind and think of them as immortal spirit.   Per Jesus:  In this world, God’s Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship.  So do the parts of God’s Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of eternity.” T-20.V.1.   At the end of this page are some ACIM quotes about Holy Relationship.

As I look back on what I was practicing prior to my inner light being released, I realize there were specific things Holy Spirit had me doing.  During my weekly ACIM zoom meetings, I share these insights and cover specific topics suggested by Holy Spirit, Jesus and Buddha.

 Here is the entire paragraph I was reading in the Course where Jesus discusses about not having one dark companion to be in God’s Presence.   T-11.III.7.  Only God’s Comforter can comfort you.  In the quiet of His temple, He waits to give you the peace that is yours.  Give His peace, that you may enter the temple and find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of God, or you will not know that you are there.  For what is unlike God cannot enter His Mind, because it was not His Thought and therefore does not belong to Him.  And your mind must be as pure as His, if you would know what belongs to you.  Guard carefully His temple, for He Himself dwells there and abides in peace.  You cannot enter God’s Presence with the dark companions beside you, but you also cannot enter alone.  All your brothers must enter with you, for until you have accepted them you cannot enter.  For you cannot understand wholeness unless you are whole, and no part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his Father.   In your mind you can accept the whole Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it.  Then you will be worthy to dwell in the temple with Him, because it is your will not to be alone.  God blessed His Son forever.  If you will bless him in time, you will be in eternity.  Time cannot separate you from God if you use it on behalf of the eternal.

I look forward to seeing you during my weekly  zoom meetings, if you feel so inclined.

Blessings to all, Glenda

The following are some of the places in the Course where spark and Great Rays occur:

C-ep.2. “You are a stranger here. 2 But you belong to Him Who loves you as He loves Himself. 3 Ask but my help to roll the stone away, and it is done according to His Will. 4 We have  begun the journey. 5 Long ago the end was written in the stars and set into the Heavens with a shining Ray that held it safe within eternity and through all time as well. 6 And holds it still; unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable.”

T-10.IV.8. “In many only the spark remains, for the Great Rays are obscured.  Yet God has kept the spark alive so that the Rays can never be completely forgotten.  If you but see the little spark you will learn of the greater light, for the Rays are there unseen.  Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the light will create.  Yet in the returning the little light must be acknowledged first, for the separation was a descent from magnitude to littleness.  But the spark is still as pure as the Great Light, because it is the remaining call of creation.  Put all your faith in it, and God Himself will answer you.”

T-11.in.3.  “You make by projection, but God creates by extension.  The cornerstone of God’s creation is you, for His thought system is light.  Remember the Rays that are there unseen.  The more you approach the center of His thought system, the clearer the light becomes.”

The Holy Instant and the Attraction of God

T-15.IX.1 “As the ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see the Great Rays shining from them, so unlimited that they reach to God. 2 It is this shift to vision that is accomplished in the holy instant. 3 Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you will become willing to make it permanent. 4 Given this willingness it will not leave you, for it [is] permanent. 5 Once you have accepted it as the only perception you want, it is translated into knowledge by the part that God Himself plays in the Atonement, for it is the only step in it He understands. 6 Therefore, in this there will be no delay when you are ready for it. 7 God is ready now, but you are not.”

T-16.VI.6.  “Across the bridge it is so different!  For a time, the body is still seen, but not exclusively, as it is seen here. The little spark that holds the Great Rays within it is also visible, and this spark cannot be limited long to littleness.  Once you have crossed the bridge, the value of the body is so diminished in your sight that you will see no need at all to magnify it.  For you will realize that the only value the body has is to enable you to bring your brothers to the bridge with you, and to be released together there.”

T-18.III.8.  “Not one light in Heaven but goes with you.  Not one Ray that shines forever in the Mind of God but shines on you. Heaven is joined with you in your advance to Heaven.  When such great lights have joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the power of God Himself, can you remain in darkness?   You and your brother are coming home together, after a long and meaningless journey that you undertook apart, and that led nowhere.  You have found your brother, and you will light each other’s way.  And from this light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto God, to shine away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the light.

Here are quotes from ACIM about Holy Relationship: 

The Holy Spirit’s temple is not a body, but a relationship. T-20.VI.5

In this world, God’s Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship.  So do the parts of God’s Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of eternity. T-20.V.1.

The ark of peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of another world goes with themEach holy relationship must enter here ….. T-20.IV.6.5

“Each teaching-learning situation involves a different relationship at the beginning, although the ultimate goal is always the same; to make of the relationship a holy relationship, in which both can look upon the Son of God as sinless.  There is no one from whom a teacher of God cannot learn, so there is no one whom he cannot teach.  However, from a practical point of view he cannot meet everyone, nor can everyone find him. Therefore, the plan includes very specific contacts to be made for each teacher of God.  There are no accidents in salvation.  Those who are to meet will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy relationship.  They are ready for each other.”  M-3.1.

Two voices raised together call to the hearts of everyone, to let them beat as one.  And in that single heartbeat is the unity of love proclaimed and given welcome.  Peace to your holy relationship, which has the power to hold the unity of the Son of God together.  T-20.V.2.
