Here is my review for the soon to be released book by Gary Renard's very lovely wife, Cindy Lora-Renard, titled A Course in Health and Well-Being. (Picture is of me with Cindy at the University of Toronto; May 2015)
In this book, the author, Cindy Lora-Renard, shares her thoughts on the principles of A Course in Miracles with a focus on health and well-being, explaining how sickness is always of the mind and has absolutely nothing to do with the body. Cindy explains the steps to apply true forgiveness and how it is the means for healing and awakening from the dream of experiencing yourself as a body, as the body itself is just a projection of the mind; it doesn’t really exist. Practical suggestions on how one can apply this concept into his or her life to help bring about this experience are also shared.
Cindy also talks about a few of her own trials and tribulations which she applied the Course’s message of true forgiveness to, stressing the importance of non-attachment. As she so eloquently puts it, “The goal of the Course is to experience peace regardless of what is going on in the world or in your body. That is true power; the power to choose peace under any and all circumstances.“
In addition to making very clear distinctions between what traditionally passes as forgiveness in this world – what A Course in Miracles refers to as “forgiveness to destroy” – and what true forgiveness really entails, Cindy stays true to the pure non-dualistic message of the Course, the message being that there is no world and only God is real. Because of that, this book reads similarly to Gary Renard’s The Disappearance of the Universe trilogy, but without the in-your-face dialogue and smart ass banter. So if you’re looking for a kinder, gentler approach to pure non-dualism then this is for you.
As a result of presenting A Course in Miracles in a consistent and non-compromising fashion - which seems to be rare among those who are labeled as “teachers” of the Course - Cindy has my utmost respect as a presenter, speaker, writer, and teacher of Jesus’ Course. Giddy up!
