I consider Bill as a ROLE MODEL teaching ACIM, while I was in a group with him at Tiburon near the end of his life. He did not participate much in the ACIM group, however he appeared in bliss smiling and giggling some. When we argued about concepts such as dismissing the body or demonizing the ego, he would tell us to "tear out those pages" in a good-natured easy going way. I think Bill live the first principle "LOVE IS THE ESSENCE OF OUR BEING." - "the awareness of Love's Presence with fear being the opposite..."
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
