Course in Miracles Class

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Well, my fellow Course in Miracles Students,  I have missed having classes with you.  I have been settling into my new home and trying to hide out from all this winter weather.  But Spring is soon here and I did agree to start up our classes again.  But first I thought we could try an online sharing of ideas.  You can post your thoughts to share with the rest of the class and any other Course in Miracles followers who would like to join in.

So lets start by asking ourselves – What is it that the Course in Miracles does for us?

I know for me,  I seem to be an endless seeker and my mind spins around trying to solve the puzzle of life here on earth….A Course in Miracles has brought me peace, and answers.  If not in a  literal way, it some how soothes my soul and assures me that everything is alright and the questions have been answered.   The course teaches a way of life so different from what most of us see that it is quite inspiring.  I continue to read this book over and over again, gaining new insights with each reading.

What about you guys, why do you contiune to study this material?

A Course in Miracles and Christian Language

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

The Course in Miracles can look daunting. In fact there is debate amongst the Course fans that it should be changed to eliminate all the Christian references. Some say that it just trips people up. They want it to be a universal curriculum and skip the Christian references.

I myself come from a strong Christian background and it is a challenge to read the material with clear eyes and not always put the statements into the perspective I was raised with.

In fact it is the process of constantly pushing the material through our conditioned filters that helps us break them down.

It is only our filters that get ruffled by the terminology not our spirit. If you continue to read and push through the language of the course and your own personal resistance, you will discover an amazing result. In order to push through you are also tearing down. You are subconsciously unwinding your conditioning. Before you know it things are changing for you. And in you.

It almost seems miraculous. Just reading it constantly is like a call to the soul. The soul hears even when the conscious and subconscious mind fights it. But the soul hears and responds.

It is like a medicine that you take in and it just starts working behind the scene. I can not adequately explain the wonderful life changing effect this book can have – even if your mind fights it – keep going.

It is written in seeming old English and often the sentences don’t seem to make sense. But the truth is the logic brain can’t get a hold on the information, but the soul can. So you feed the soul its own truth while the logic brain flounders around trying to get you to stop this insane reading material.

But push on dear friends; you will awaken something deep within you that will transform your life, quietly and consistently. Just keep going, don’t listen to your logic brain and ego based thoughts they are meant to keep you lost.
