After our previous night’s conversation in Lugo, Alberto had started to call us angels. He had also been calling us messengers, instruments, channels, “delivery guys”… all of which I resisted in equal measure because I didn’t want to be boxed into a label. But the word angel evoked outright rejection: An angel was perfect. I certainly wasn't! I had flaws, fears, and many things I was still working through. And I told him it was arrogant to believe we were.

I wasn’t ready to consider then that he was only using a symbol to describe my willingness to let Love extend through me, no matter how I was judging my own readiness or worthiness of that task. It was precisely those judgments that needed to be healed.

The many symbols and experiences of that day’s walk to Giovecca form the foundation for today’s episode.

A Course in Miracles is always bringing us back to one simple yet profound recognition:

Our only error is believing we are something other than what God created.

The correction has already been made.

We need but accept it, release the false identity we have mistaken for our true Self, and remember the eternal innocence, wholeness and Love that never changed.

“I remain as God created me.” (W-139.11:3)

Join us as we go beyond symbols and explore what it means to become willing—not perfect, not worthy by our own standards – but willing to let Love lead.

With love and gratitude,

Mony and Alberto

We arrive in Lugo and are looking for a place to sleep, when a car screeches to a halt ahead of us and a young man comes running towards us.

“I saw you walking and had to stop,” he enthuses. “Please, let me buy you dinner.”

We think it’s because of the signs on our backpacks or the newspaper article; but no. He has backpacked all over the world, and always appreciated it when people stopped to help him. He wants to do the same.

Our new friend Giordano opens his home to us, offers us his food, his clothes, his keys… and on this January 5, the eve of the coming of the Wise Men, invites us to stay an extra day to rest. A great gift indeed!

With his friend Gabriella, we have an unforgettable conversation about Life and death, about those we have loved and lost, about dreams, signs and the Light. We share the understanding that has comforted us for years:

We are not our bodies, and only Love awaits us beyond what we call death.

Our understanding has continued to expand over the years and, in this episode, we invite you to walk with us as we contemplate the following question:

If God is perfect Love, perfect Peace, perfect Joy and eternal Life with NO OPPOSITE, then how can death exist?

It is a big question.

And with the loving guidance of the Inner Teacher and the wisdom of A Course in Miracles, we take a step together and follow the Light to answer it.

May these words bring comfort and bless all who listen.

With love and gratitude,

Mony and Alberto

It is our first brush with the media, and I am both excited and nervous.

We are in Cotignola, and a young journalist stops us to ask about our signs and the purpose of our walk. I keep the message neutral, speaking about how this walk was our contribution to peace and that each of us can do something for peace, no matter how small it may appear.

I watch with horror Alberto speaking about this pilgrimage being a spiritual journey, and that we are being guided and protected by God.

Back then, I imagined myself working for the United Nations or some NGO dedicated to peace, and imagined all talk of spirituality jeopardizing my future plans. I wanted to be taken seriously and not dismissed as a religious or spiritual zealot.

I was afraid to let the True Self be revealed through me, the Self that knows only to extend Its Joy, Its Peace, Its Love because that is Its true nature. It cannot do anything else.

How ironic that twenty-five years later, I am doing exactly that!

We hope you enjoy this episode.

Offered, as always, with love and gratitude,

Mony and Alberto
