Impetus

Impetus: 

the impetus for A Course in Miracles began with a simple question between the scribe, Helen Schucman and her colleague William Thetford - "there must be a better way?" he asked her, and that was somehow the beginning of an extraordinary flow words that were dictated to Helen over the next several years. The Course itself claims this is the voice of Jesus offering a correction to his original words, clearing away the clouds of mistaken perceptions surrounding his teaching. Regardless if this is true or not, the Course does a remarkable job of liberating our minds from the tyranny of the ego. 

but only if we ask for a better way.

we all have our own impetus for change, emotional trauma for some, physical pain, and for so many of us, simply reaching a point of quiet despair concerning everyday life. We just finally reach a point where the only question asked is the same as Thetford's - 

there has to be a better way.

and there is.

but only if we ask for the possibility of one.

that's the impetus of our greatest change, simply asking.

nothing more.

and then to listen to the quiet voice...

providing us the answer.
