Tribute to Bill Thetford
Episode 37
This is the Father's Day Edition of the podcast and a tribute to Bill Thetford.
It was, after all, Bill's declaration that "there must be a better way" that was the seed-thought and spark which found purchase in Helen who, in a rare moment, was receptive, and responded, "I agree and I'll help you find it." Together they nurtured what some have called one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century.
Jesus taught us not to be so much concerned about what we put into our mouths as to what we let come out of it. So, it's not what we eat, but our thoughts and how we relate to others that witnesses to our spiritual progress. What is important is the opportunity we have each moment to choose between expressing fear or love in out lives.
- Bill Thetford
I am here Only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Christ, who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do,
because the one who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes,
knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
~ A Course in Miracles
At the time I remember thinking that the Course could be described as a form of Christian Vedanta.
- Bill Thetford
Over the next several episodes of the podcast there will be a series of readings from a Hindu Veda. This will be partly as a tribute to Bill, but also to demonstrate the universality of the Course and spirituality in general. I'll explain how this relates to A Course in Miracles during those podcasts.

Apologies for taking so long to get this podcast episode up. While I was traveling, I recorded, edited, and published two episodes, but adjusting and getting settled in has taken longer.
This ACIM Speaks episode is on the role of teachers, healers, professors, and miracle workers–terms A Course in Miracles uses interchangeably. Bill Thetford was ever the reluctant professor and much of the discussion was originally for him. It became the section in the text, "Special Principles for Miracle Workers."
The next episode will be a brief podcast reading of passage from the text suitable for Thanksgiving Grace.
