Experiencing ACIM
I became active on Facebook simultaneously with the
commencement of this blog. With some caution, I joined two Facebook groups
where The Course in Miracles is discussed. I do not recommend this for
new students. Devotees of The Course are very passionate, and all do not
agree.
Caveat; After adopting the methods and discipline of
ACIM; every "judgement" made must be evaluated, because the ego is
always involved.
The text itself advises against interpretation. Once again
because the ego and perception are involved. And can be trusted to give bad
advice.
Knowing is not open to interpretation. ²You may try to “interpret” meaning, but this is always open to error because it refers to the perception of meaning. (ACIM, T-3.V.5:1-2)
I am promoting a different method.
Like any similar literary work, its devotees develop favorite passages. I have shared mine here. However, many times I open the book randomly and just begin reading, as I did today.
And I was affected emotionally...
Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. ⁴And so is all time past, and everything exactly as it was before the way to nothingness was made. ⁵The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one, and all of them that came within the first. ⁶And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. ⁷What God gave answer to is answered and is gone.
Some who read my Facebook post will follow its link to this page. Some of those, perhaps, will feel something, evoked by this passage, or another. That's my method, and A Course in Miracles is full of those wonderful and thought-provoking ideas.
This is another reminder that the purpose of this blog is my own learning. I know that others will also benefit.
It's in the book.
