thanks for your wonderful stories…
and as u said to share my experience…i will share a real life story or experience of mine…
one day i was looking at the stars…and said to stars…do u really looking at me as i m looking at you?….the star which i was looking specifically didnt answer me…so i kept staring at the same star for 10 to 15 days continous…and asking same question….then one day the star shined brightly for a moment when i was staring at it…then i thought its an illusion…and i thought how can a star look at me as i look at it…then next day…the star wasnt seen…then i felt sad…i kept on asking forgiveness…”pleas my star friend forgive me…i m really sorry…now i know it wasnt an illusion…after asking forgiveness for nearly 3 to 5 days…it came again…and with time…when ever i walk on the streets..in the evening…my body feels some vibration…and when i look at the sky…i see my star frnd…as if he was telling me that look at the star…i fell in love with it…even if there is clouds…i could see the star…if my heart wants to see it…and for a moment the cloud moves away so that i can get a glimpse of my frnd star…:)
what i realised is…if anyone really wants anything from heart…without involvement of mind or brain…he or she can get it…:)
thanks a billion for ur stories…
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GUIDE YOU IN KNOWING HIM…

Hey Chris,
I have to say you have provided me great friendship the past few months, both directly and indirectly. I thank you for it and think of you often. You have provided me the means to be of help to others and I have taken great pleasure in doing so. And from day one for me it has been a valuable all around education, though not quite so intense as those first few weeks. You have created a unique social network here and I hope to help it grow, as you are fully aware. We were all nearly ready and look who showed up!
Love and Blessings X 10,
Ed

I use your stories in my children magazine sometimes. it’s a christian journal printed in ordinary paper in Kathmandu, Nepal with some pictures. And I send the 8 page journal to the remotest part of the country. I have to use light weight ordinary paper so that it is not heavy for mailing.

I have read the story about the heart of a mouse and I think the main message here is that all our problems are deeply rooted in our hearts. We spend most of the time developing our mind to a point whereby it gets so overloaded that even the spirit, our soul, the heart, cannot safe us anymore because it has been overlooked and very empty. I would like to put more focus on strenthning my spiritual base as much as i did and do to my mental base.

Hi Chris,
I want to thank you for your enlightened posts and good work. I´ve been studying the A Course in Miracles for more than 25 years, and I just did a Mind Movie in Portuguese, where I put your inspiring picture in it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5EpYNDPpnk ). Hope you can watch it. I´ve been working with the Law of Attraction (and other laws), and reading and listening to a lot of information on it. But, been in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), I feel that this fantastic information hasn´t got here yet, maybe because of the language. I´m a professional translator, and work with a group of translators, and I would like to put your material into the Portuguese language, and promote it around here. I´m also working on been a coach, and organizing a course based on the A Course in Miracles and other vast information I´m getting from the USA masters.I´ve translated Gary Renard´s CDs, Paul Ferrini´s Back to the Garden (which we are launching with a famous brazilian editor), and others.
Waiting for your reply, thank you, Peace and Happiness

I really enjoy your stories and I share it with my class because I am trying to teach them to think outside the box. But you are saying think without of the box? There are no boundaries to your thinking,,,we are limited by our own box…we box ourselves in. Thank you for allowing us the space to share these stories with others.

Chris, I just wrote you a lovely message telling you just how much I appreciate all the stuff you do like IYL, Spiritual Stories, and keeping us updated on what new programs are available. However, when I sent the comment, I got a message of “invalid email”, so you get the short version. Keep it up and maybe someday I will figure out how to get into my IYL membership site again.

Hi Chris,
For me, it’s the stories. Mostly I read the ones you send, but occasionally I come to your site to read them. Somehow, the ones you send are often timely. They seem to address something I’m working on in my life or show me something I’m avoiding.
Thanks.

There are so many sites on the world wide web that are of no lasting value or no significance to your life but are a waste of our precious time. Your sites, Chris, are notable among those which uphold and contribute to the human spirit and call a person of whatever faith or none at all to make contact with God within - that Spirit within each of us that leads us to do good, to walk humbly and judge righteously. When I am down and troubled and need a helping hand, it is a great comfort to know that you have created a sanctuary on the WWW where my soul can be fed and strengthened. Let God be praised not only for your acts on behalf of the welfare of others but for the purity of intent within your heart.

The Spirit is everything to us to live the christian life.The christian life is altogether the processed and consummated Triune God as the all-inclusive Spirit…When we are facing a difficult situation,we can talk to Him about it.Then He,the One who lives in us,will come in to face the situation and to do whatever is needed.
We don’t need to be of someone,Cast out your Fears in life,The Lord is always there for all of us,He never sleeps and carry us.

Thanks, Chris, for the story about the mouse heart.It was not necessary to reflect too much about - because, sometimes, everybody may have such experiences but it is a “little” difficult to tell the truth - so that a story is really “the shortest way between the human being and the Truth”. Grateful to you.

Thsnksfor your sincere efforts. But as an Indian from a semi urban area, most of the stories and themes are almost houshold tales in our area. We are used to that. But I’m glad these are inspiring people across the globe. If you sodesire I can contribute many to your site
