David speaks at the 2015 "A Present Love" ACIM Conference in New York City.

The purpose of A Course in Miracles is to become a living demonstration of God's Love by merging into the I Am Presence, our true Identity as Christ. It is a powerful tool for catapulting us into this Experience of what we Are through the release of all that we are not. It requires first that we step fully into our function as a "minister of God", "miracle worker", "teacher of God" etc. and release all other self-concepts we've held. When there is any hesitation or embarrassment about stepping into our function, it can seem to take the form of having resistance to certain terms like "minister for God". But being a minister for God doesn't mean that we need to TRY to be happy; it is simply a Calling to accept our function of forgiveness and be willing to go through the purification. In the end, all self-concepts will be washed away, including the idea of "channeling" Jesus or the Holy Spirit. The full Christ Experience requires a complete merge into I Am-ness, and leaves no room for compromise of any kind.

Jesus gave us 50 years (since the Course's inception) to "get our feet wet", and the time has come now to step fully into your function!
