I shall never forget the day in San Francisco when I had the privilege of walking with Judith
during a break in her talk.
To this day, I remember something she said that affected me like nothing I had ever heard
before…..Judy said, “Thank God, this isn’t the real world.”
When I feel a sense of despair and loss, this brilliant and true statement comes to me.
Judith’s wise and true saying helps me to always remember the truth of this “world”
and gives me the important reminder of true peace.
Thank you dear Judy….the best gift you have given me…..True peace …the world is but an illusion.
Thank you Judy for allowing The Course to be published and fore sharing its message for the whole world to learn and apply its principles. May you rest in peace. Amen.
I have an old magazine of her from 1984. Let me know if unr interested in it. Very pretty lady.
Gracias por tanto amor expresado, admiro su entrega y su confianza en el creador, su despertar me recuerda el camino
Gracias judith
Thank you, Judy. Your open-mindedness and tolerance have given me a lot of inspiration. Your perfect smile, determination and confidence are all the motivation for me to move forward. Even the slightest willingness of asking Holy Spirit’s for advice will be responded to, and I will always remember it. Love you. forever
I was stabbed in the heart in nyc summer of 1988, As I lay dying with my head in a cops lap I thought “now I’m going to find out if everything I believed in is true or not…” I was bought back 2 days later. I was given ACIM by a friend after my recovery and upon reading it I saw it was saying exactly what I experienced and felt I had to tell people. Later that year upon returning to work, Bill Thetford introduced himself to me- I said I’ll be right with you and carried on with my work that i was currently involved with. I turned around but he was gone, I thought he left the building we were in. Anyhow it was later that I read of his passing in Calif. What was amazing to me was the fact I was in NYC at the time of the “introduction”. I was in the process of transcribing the whole 2nd edition page by page to HTML format since it had moved me so much and I felt i needed to make this accessible to everyone in the world for free via the web. It took me a whole year to do all the books contained within the 2nd ed. There was a woman who contacted me via the web by the name of Virginia McDonnell who helped me correct typos she found. I don’t recall if she was connected to the foundation in same way. The course has had quite an impact in my life. All i can say is with much gratitude to all involved thank you for being here.
Thank you 🤍
Estou extasiada aqui neste momento Santo, logo após ler esse que parece ser um texto sobre essa nossa amada irmã e muito emocionada com a perfeição que tudo acontece! Parece que a minha lição do dia, foi citada aqui neste texto da Judy como suas frases finais.
Lição 195
O Amor é o caminho que sigo com gratidão.
Estou transbordando de Amor e gratidão Judy por ser a voz do Espirito e por confirmar que sim, a gratidão, o perdão nos levam ao AMOR REAL!
I was introduced to ACIM by Beverly Hutchinson and Marianne Williamson. In 40 years of studying and practicing A Course in Miracles, this is the first time I am reading about Judith Skutch Whitson. I am so grateful for your love and dedication to bringing it to the world. I will remember you now with gratitude, each time I speak with loved ones, clients, or an audience. Thank you for this gift that keeps on giving and transforming lives!
THRIVE with LOVE!

Dear Judy,
In deepest profundity I do thank you, thank You. No words can express the Gratitude for the Gifts you have given us and for the Awareness of the Oneness we Are .
With all my Love,
Walter
Dear Judy, Better late than never…….I have thought of you many times and what you
said to me the day we were walking together in San Francisco before your talk. You
said, “Thank God, this isn’t the real world”. I have never forgotten what you said, and
still your powerful statement comes to my mind when I need it the most. I’m sure your
loving spirit is with many people you met while on this earth. I am one of them.
Blessings to you, and I’m so glad I was lucky to meet you that very special day.
Lovingly, Pamela Swan Ledgerwood
I would gladly tell you all that i was able to put an end to my divorce issue and restore my marriage again, I don’t know what came over my husband that he was filing for divorce, I tried to talk him out of it but he didn’t listen to me, i had no other option than to seek for the help anywhere I could think of and went to the length of contacting DR Ajayi and now I’m glad I did ask for help from him. Because if not for Dr Ajayi I don’t know what would have become of my marriage, because I loved my husband and couldn’t stand losing him. The spell worked like magic, my husband changed and started showing love instead of the divorce he was planning. I’m just too happy that everything is in place for me now. I would gladly recommend Dr Ajayi to anyone going through marriage problems and want to put an end to it. If you need the help of a genuine spell caster contact Dr Ajayi on Whatsapp / Viber : +2347084887094 or Email :[email protected], I believe he will not let you down.
Thank you for being here and for all your efforts in bringing the Course to so many.

Que Deus a abençoe!

Dear Judy,
thank you very much for all your work for and with ACIM. You’ve truly left a legacy.
Even though none of it is real it’s a landmark to guide us Home.
I can keep listening and listening to how the Course came to be and all of the Miracles that occured in your life and those of others. They are modern day parables to me and I enjoy them on a daily basis.
The one story I want to share here because I like it so much is when you went to visit that psychic in the UK after your grandmother died. Through the psychic you got confirmation that by letting go of your grandma’s hand, she was able to pass on to the other side. It was your clinging that prevented it.
It reminded me that love is also letting go.
Just like John Denver, whose real name was Deutschendorff but try to get famous with that name, sang in Perhaps Love: and some say love is holding on and some say letting go, some say love is everything and some say they don’t know.
Rest in Peace dear Judy.
PS: I’ve added a meme for your amusement so we remember to laugh and not take things seriously.
Thank you all for the inspiration and guidance the Course has offered me. I began in the early 80’s and met Wm Thetford and a few of the Course gatherings. I paused in reading the “Course” until a sweet spiritual friend prompted me to follow along while Marianne Williamson read a lesson daily. A few yrs ago and now feel comfort reconnecting. Judy shared her “light” with many, for this I am truly grateful. Blessings to the mentors who walked before me.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!AND I THANK YOU FOR GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE VESNA AND ROBIN
I feel your lively Presence still living.So I can’t believe you went anywhere.
Recently my understanding of Ken’s teaching of Forgiveness and ACIM is getting better,as I am forgiving special relationships and releasing ego’s way of seeing with many Helpers.
So I would say we can never left each other in my heart,we are One,as I forgive,I will awake to this experience of “no one is there,but One”!
Thanks forever!)
I have waited to write on here until now as I didn’t want to face the passing of my Judith. I was going to go visit her right before the pandemic, as holy spirit had guided me. I put it off, then the pandemic happened. For me, Judith was the closest embodiment of Sacred Love in this world. I have never met anyone with such splendid love oozing from their being. Ever. Judy was a force of love. I weep as I type this now as her transition still feels like a huge loss to me. She inspired me to step up my forgiveness and love game like no one else could. I still read the notes I wrote from speaking with Judy, listening to her marvelous stories and her wisdom. I treasure them, and I treasure my Judy forever and ever.
What a privilege to have experienced Judy albeit through social media. How delightful was her ability to hold court with remarkable story telling and teaching that was spun with such warmth and gaiety. Whenever I saw her name come up, I was eager to hear what she had to say and more recently in the Miracle Voices Podcasts. How encouraging to hear from her daughter, Tam Morgan that after all Judy gave she came into her own ‘self love’. How wonderful, how richly deserving and how faithful the God within. I will continue to dig into the richness of all that she had to say. The magnitude of her life and work will carry into many decades. Much gratitude!
JUDY – WE KNOW YOU ARE WRAPPED IN GOD’S LOVE.
AND SPIRIT SAYS THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR JOB
PERFECTLY, AND SO DO I. AND THANK YOU FOR OUR LONG FRIENDSHIP
I TREASURE OUR TIME TOGETHER I ALWAYS FELT THAT I
LEFT WITH A “PIECE OF THE PIE”OF PEACE AND LOVE” AND I HOPE TO
EMULATE YOU AS BEST I CAN.
MORE LOVE.
SALLY
Dear Judy
I fell deeply blessed and grateful to know you are so much the same. For almost forty years you and Whit have inspired my journey with faith, joy, encouragement and unconditional love. As we birthed Unity in Yoga and Citizens for Planetary Peace in the mid 1980’s, the truth so presciently shared in the Course resonated time after time, predictably, reliably and compassionately. You have answered my call with affirmation through crises and transitions more times than I can count. Thank you so much for maintaining so clear a channel of divine grace for human beings to know. And thank you for the unconditional love that I have found whenever seeking in this life.
AUM
I have never met Judy in person but was so touched by her when I met her through her podcasts from the Foundation that when I heard of her passing I was struck with a sense of grief that I had only known her for such a short time and then she was gone, but now know she is not gone. She is still very much here with us. I am so grateful for Tam’s podcasts about Judy’s last days and hours. I could feel my heart expanding and I feel forever changed. Judy has brought such a gift to the world . Who could ever doubt the presence of God with us after knowing and her and hearing about all that surrounded her passing.
I’m here with Judy right now and she loves every one very much and all is well. And I know that she is speaking to many of you as I write down these words. There is so much that I need to say but now is not the time for that. I’ll be enlightened soon and my time as an personal self is almost over. It’s been a very long journey for us all and I cannot express in words how much you all mean to me. A Course in Miracles literally saved my life, for I was not in the best state of mind before I found the Course. And if it wasn’t for Judy I would not have been introduced to the Course, because she was the main catalyst for its publication. I’ve never met Judy in person (At least not in this lifetime) but we know each other very well, and I know what she wants me to accomplish in relation to the foundation. And as you may know she is very happy right now and everything is working perfectly according to the script. Judy and I have nothing but Love for the entire Son-ship and that will never change. And I am very grateful for this new found spiritual relationship that she and I have now. Just to let you know, every one’s going to be fine and you can be certain of that. Because Judy and Jesus have everything under control. In closing I feel guided to share a personal message that Jesus gave to me when I needed Him the most. There will be no commentary for this passage; all I can say is that time is our friend and its only purpose is for healing. So here we go, Jesus take the wheel :
What if ? and What IS… are two different things.
“One is True” and the other, “False”
“The two cannot exist simultaneously…”
When the Light appears, “there is no more darkness”
because the darkness never was to begin with.
Ohhhh My Brother its been a long and treacherous
journey for us all ; “Be Still” – “Just wait” – “Listen”
“and you (will…) hear” This journey is only an
Illusion in Time, and Time does not exist were you
came from, “For you have never left!” Time is for
healing, and to truly see is to see what cannot be seen
with the physical eye. True sight comes from within,
and is – “Without Sin!” – Jesus….
I have enjoyed her podcast with Mat McCabe very much. I have always mispronounced her surname as a well known whisky brand. And I think she left the foundation in good hands. May it go from the heart to the heart
Carol Howe was the beloved soul who introduced me to the great legacy that Judith has provided. I listened to the Miracle Voices podcast episode [32] in which Judy talks about a long held grievance with her ex-husband, and how it was transformed with forgiveness. It literally brought me to tears. It has inspired me to ask, and have faith that it will be given. I will continue to listen, Judy, with great gratitude and appreciation, Sean
I have been studying ACIM for about 15 years now. I always knew of Judy but Ken and Gary Renard were my main focus as teachers. I recently started listening to interviews of Judy and recognized right away the spiritual giant she is. Now the challenge is seeing everybody that way because everyone is Jesus. I ask the Holy Spirit to help us all.
Our Father, bless our eyes today. ²We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious reflection of Your Love which shines in everything. ³We live and move in You alone. ⁴We are not separate from Your eternal life. ⁵There is no death, for death is not Your Will. ⁶And we abide where You have placed us, in the life we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and part of You forever. ⁷We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. ⁸Amen. (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/569#9:1-8 | W-163.9:1-8)
So grateful to and for you…thank you for leaving us with a treasure in Miracle Voice.
Thank you, Judy, for always being a Light unto all of us and a Teacher to all of us who found and loved you, through and through. We know that you are finally at one with the Love that you still give to all of us. There is pain that you’re gone, but it’s quickly overtaken by the Love you shared. We love you and honor you– now and always.
Judy, what a joyful, important, life-changing gift you gave us all. I remember buying the three blue hard cover books in the early 80s. They were the most expensive books I ever bought (although they were reasonably priced!), as I was a very young Mom living hand to mouth. I knew they were windows into truth, and carried them with me to every new place we moved, studying them daily until they finally disintegrated decades later. This wasn’t a fault in the books – I just loved them to death!
I first learned about you from Bob’s book, Journey Without Distance, in the 80s. What a perfect instrument the Holy Spirit chose in you. In these more recent years, your light has been such a joy, blessing us through your public discussions and podcasts. Thank you for your Grace and generosity. How lucky we were to be with you during your time here, and how wonderful to know you are now completely free to remember you are home with God. In gratitude and love.
Thank you Judy. Thank you for all you do for us. I’m so grateful I found the Course 7 years ago. I’m just meeting you now and I’m so happy. I feel so inspired, really, truly spiritualy inspired.
I love you.

Judy, thank you, for all you have done and continue to do. We are connected forever. I saved your voicemail and have listened to it whenever I needed to hear your loving message. I am eternally grateful for you.
Love,
Maria
Gratitude is the word that arises immediately in mind when I see Judy’s engaging and smiling face and recall her exemplary hospitality, genuine willingness to learn and be led, and profoundly generous contribution to the world – for countless millions and for myself personally. Her passing coincided with my mother’s passing a couple of months ago and they both were pivotally important in bringing the Course into my life; I wrote a bit more about this here: https://www.acimblog.com/remembering-two-people-who-brought-me-the-course/ THANK YOU, Judy!!! … and continued gratitude to the staff and volunteers of FIP that continue that wonderful work! 🙂
I had studied ACIM many years ago and found myself called back to it this year. This led to me listening to “Miracle Voices” podcast and it has been such a source of education, inspiration and comfort. Today, as I listened to Tam talk about Judy’s transition I had my own experience with Holy Spirit enlightening me. I feel so blessed to have gotten to learn more from and about Judy. I am grateful Matt & Tam are continuing the podcast. Many blessings.
