A Course in Miracles might seem like a self-study where you do certain prescribed steps and have your own willingness and wake up all by yourself.
But, Holy Spirit has other ideas.
He is not only willing to help you, but is...
It seems as though guilt follows on from sin, but guilt is actually a big lie. When you sinned, you wanted to believe that the separation from God was real, that it has happened in reality with real effects. It...
Your life can seem blissful and happy. It can seem like nothing will go wrong. And then something fucks up big-time. It comes out of nowhere to destroy your life. "Shit happens".
You will be quite shocked when this happens because...
When something causal is denied and made unconscious, its "effects" appear now to be a cause all of their own.
God is the "first cause." We as the creation of God, extension of God, Son of God, are his "effect".
When we...
When you are in the world and the world seems real, and you feel like life is meaningless and empty, instead of seeking truly within you tend to seek without.
The ego has asserted that the absence of meaning is real,...
Before the physical universe came into being, there was only the Son of God and no "other".
The mind of the Son of God contained a state of guilt, which arose from the belief in the separation happening (sin).
The Son...
In the physical world, events seem to happen where physical objects and bodies are involved. Coupled with the illusion that some objects cause effects on other objects, it seems as though we live in a world where some thing or...
Someone was accusing me of things I believed I didn't really do. They seemed to be just hell-bent on projecting their blame somewhere. It seemed uncalled for, and that I was unfairly treated.
My reaction to this was that I became...
It is not possible for you to suffer unless there is guilt in your own mind. The only way for a mind to have guilt in it, is for that same mind to believe it is guilty, thus identifying itself...
A Course in Miracles would say no. You always get what you ask for. You only get what you ask for. You never get anything you do not ask for.
There are no victims. There are no accidents. Nothing happens unless...
Your sense of who you are depends entirely on the extent of your awareness. Awareness is your IDENTITY.
How much of your mind you are aware OF, determines the boundaries of your sense of Self.
If you have a lot of repression...
At each stage from separation through sin, guilt, fear, punishment and death, there is always some amount of projection of the cause of the problem.
When we believe in separation, i.e. sin, sin actually makes the separation unconscious, and then we...
Years ago I had no clue what "atonement" meant, other than being able to quote the Course as saying "nothing happened". This was more or less meaningless to me.
I went about my efforts at "forgiveness" and made some headway but...
Light is truth. You can see what really is, when there is light. You cannot see in the dark. Darkness appears to hide the light, as though blocking it, removing it, or affecting it. But light cannot be affected by...
"Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another form of guilt" - ACIM from "Only salvation can be said to cure".
Sickness is a form of guilt. You cannot recognize it as guilt if you do not...
Fear has the potential to paralyze you. It stops people from living. It keeps people imprisoned in their own homes.
People affected by fear can avoid doing certain things many, many times over, missing out on countless experiences, interactions and relationships.
Afraid...
Both sides of every war are run by the ego. The war is symptomatic of the ego attacking itself. War is self attack.
When you believe that one side of the war is the good guys and one side is the...
Your main problem is one of identity. You've attempted to change your identity from Christ, to take on a new identity as an ego.
Your sense of your "Self" has become associated with, attached to, and confused with, an alternative model...
If you are not forgivable, neither is your brother.
You can't have it be that you are reluctant to forgive your brother, believing that you're able to forgive yourself but not him. If you don't forgive him, you do not forgive...
It is a scene in the mind. It is an imagined scene. A dream.
It is inside of a mind. It is made of thought. It presents images but these images are only there because of imagination.
Physical matter is not fixed...
