Chips of The Final Frontier Collection

This is a whirlwind tour of the Final Frontier.  Those unaccustomed to the radical teachings of A Course in Miracles may experience dizziness or blurred vision while reading the verses below. Be not alarmed. Those temporary effects are but desperate attempts by your insanity to delay your sanity's inevitable journey into the territory of self-forgiveness and inner peace.

 

"Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exist.

Herein lies the peace of God."

'Cause that's the way it is."
