This blog isn't for everyone...

-

If you're firmly grounded in your beliefs about the meaning of life, whether they stem from science, religion, or another source, this blog and A Course in Miracles (ACIM) may not resonate with you.

Nothing2Forgive is for those who:

  • Feel a sense of unease with the answers provided by traditional explanations.
  • Grapple with unanswered questions about the nature of reality.
  • Seek a deeper understanding and a path to inner peace.

We, the majority of humanity perhaps, yearn for answers we can truly trust. But trust is not something we're born with; it's cultivated. My aim with this blog is to offer a glimpse into the profound simplicity of rediscovering the truth you already hold within.

A Core Principle of ACIM:

I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.

(ACIM, T-21.II.2:3-5)

At its core, ACIM is a practical guide for cultivating a new way of thinking. It's a mental discipline that empowers you to experience inner peace and joy amidst the apparent chaos and fear of the world.

This isn't about a sudden, dramatic transformation. It requires consistent effort and dedicated study. What sets ACIM apart is its unique approach: it utilizes the "religious" programming many of us encountered in our youth – often a significant obstacle to inner peace – as a tool for spiritual growth.

ACIM comprises three core texts: a 669-page Text, a 488-page Workbook for Students, and a 92-page Manual for Teachers. (ACIM, Preface)

Many students embark on or renew their journey with ACIM at the beginning of the new year.

Welcome.

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 emotio...

A Course in Miracles

From the Preface: "As its title implies, the Course is arranged throughout as a teaching device. It consists of three books: a 669-page Text, a 488-page Workbook for Students, and a 92-page Manual for Teachers. The Workbook includes 365 lessons, one for each day of the year. Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal spiritual themes." For years I have tried to identify the most meaningful passages that effectively summarize its meaning. Those will be shared soon. After several readings, I remember where I was when the meaning came together for me. Building on the theme of the power of Perception, these lines are excerpted from my favorite passage: Lesson 132 - I Loose the World from All I Thought It Was What keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. There is no world apart ...
