A Course in Miracles thoughts

A Course in Miracles thoughts

This is a platform for me to share thoughts on A Course in Miracles. I've been a student since 1996 and Dr. Ken Wapnick was my teacher. The world we seem to live in is a shadow world and that shadow is cast on the wall of the mind. ACIM answers questions about what gave rise to the world, what perpetuates the world, and how to awaken from it. Here is a link to a youtube channel - same content! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN8EiuzVVf7tTrxcACDJ7VA I also have a small FB group that isn't very active, but if you're interested in the posts, it's called: A Course in Miracles: Nothing Happened - A Tribute to Dr. Ken Wapnick Here's a link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/653284429662864 Thank you for your interest. :-)

The Course message does not change.  It does not evolve into something else.
Ken Wapnick's teaching of the Course will always be the only teaching of the Course.  
Every other teaching is either a duplicate or wrong.   It says what it says.
When it comes to the message, trust in the book and Ken.  

While the Course does not evolve; our understanding can deepen.  There is a difference between changing the message and seeing the deepest ...

Some thoughts on magic.
There is no need to condemn magic.  Like the ego, magic is nothing and nowhere and needs our belief in it for it to seem to come to life.  

Perception's Law:   "You see what you believe is there, and you believe it there because you want it there.  Perception has no other law than this." (T Ch. 25.III)  

Closing quote:    "You are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of your Creator.  Everything else ...

This is a request to like and subscribe. 
I did it with video which can only be seen on my youtube channel.  It's good you can't see it because the visual is terrible and I didn't try to look good!  

I kind of thought I was in an echo chamber since I'm an unknown person without prominence in the Course community.  I started doing this at the request of one single person.  LOL  I enjoy it and view it as a tribute to my beloved teacher...

Dreams of Convenience

This episode is about how the Course is inconvenient since our goal is to stay asleep.  The Course awakens awareness of our great companion and we can see that we have a split mind.  That mind both welcomes and resists the Course. We try to incorporate it into the dream as a compromise approach.  

A "dream of convenience" as Freud said, serves two purposes: 1. it satisfies a wish and 2. it safeguards sleep. The ...

The world we seem to live in arose from the idea of murder - giving rise to the ideas of sin, guilt, and fear.  Every corner of this place that is not our home is 100% hate.  The way out is to ask Jesus for help; take his hand; and look with him.  We don't try to change the dream - not what we think, say, or do or what anyone else thinks, says, or does.  We can't change the dream.  We can choose to change our mind about it.

Peace on...

Just some Sunday thoughts on what we're looking at with Jesus.
Jesus says we are steadfastly devoted to misery and that we need to first recognize we are miserable and not happy.  "The Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast because we believe that misery is happiness."  When there are conditions under which the Holy Spirit cannot teach, there are conditions under which we cannot learn.  

It is essential we look at the darknes...

The Truth does not depend on illusions. In order to feel the mercy and beauty of the Course, do not use anything that you believe you perceive to operate as a block to the awareness of Heaven. Defenses only seem to work because we want them to work. There is no need to dream of an escape from dreaming. As the Course states "...escape depends, not on the dream, but only on awakening."

This audio is about efforts to oversimplify A Course in Miracles, cut it down to size, and lower its level of difficulty and intellectual content. The Course's theoretical bases involve intellectual exercises because they are set in an earthly frame - the world of illusion and madness. That is how Jesus reaches through a seemingly impossible brick wall of "proof" that the world is real.

I wish for you safe travels on your journey t...

This is another spontaneous audio - unpolished and with room for lots more on the subject.

Ken Wapnick was right about the Course!
More importantly, we want and need him to be right!

Ken taught what Jesus taught in his Course.
It's a unique path in form but not content.
There is no other path in the world like the Course.
To take away the uncompromising nature of it, is to take away its meaning and beauty.

There is heaven or hell; eve...
