Through The Looking Glass: A Primer For A Course in Miracles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492951063)

From the age of seventeen he worked on bombers, serving four years in the US Air Force. Upon discharge Staff Sergeant Walmsley, with a desire for more challenges became a police officer in New Jersey. The next quarter of a century he experienced many things while moving through his career, finally retiring as deputy chief of police, a rank he held for several years until retirement. Graduating from college with honors he received degrees in Liberal Arts and Science. They were heavily weighted in the behavioral sciences. Every class he took found him looking for the way it could serve his aspirations for writing. Classes in creative writing, philosophy and literature peaked his interest for the most part, driving his desire to further understand people and events. He thought he might enjoy writing short stories, not having the patience for novels. Police work left little opportunity for the metaphors, simile and the creative expressions of fiction. Upon moving to Florida he attended Professional Writing classes spurring his interest on and helping to provide even more of the tools necessary to approach such a career with serious intentions. The learning process never ends and as he moved through the publishing world, joining with many others, his world was changing. Creating emotions in others while entertaining them became his desire even more so than ever before. A broader interest entered his inquiring mind and led him toward metaphysics and even more quests for spiritual adventure. Spending a fair amount of time in this arena helped to produce much thought that opened yet another avenue for intellectual intrigue broadening his understanding of the world he lives in and more importantly - the world that he didn't. During those years his studies had begun on "A Course in Miracles". He studied under several facilitators as well as attending the Academy in upstate New York, taking instruction from Dr. Kenneth Wapnick. For about five years George facilitated two courses: "An Introduction to a Course in Miracles" and "Christianity and A Course in Miracles - a Dialog". Both syllabuses were submitted to Dr. Wapnick at the academy for his insights and blessings in 1995. http: //miracles-illusionsandtheworld.net
