Lately I’ve Been Thinking About Reviewing of a Course In Miracles, Part One
I love to keep reviewing A Course In Miracles in different ways. Even though you may know this, it is important to imprint it deeply in the mind more clearly.
- No evidence will convince you of the truth of what you do not want.
- My upset is due to the meaning I have given to this situation.
- The ego loves us to be unhappy.
- What seems like bad news is really a call for celebration… it means that the ego’s foundations have been shaken.
- The ego’s capacity to use anything and everything to delay your awakening cannot be underestimated.
- There are no answers “out there” because the problems are not “out there”.
- The ego loves us to be unhappy (Please, Holy Spirit, show me what would actually make me happy!!).
- You have to learn to gently laugh at the ego.
- What matters is what is driving our behavior, love or fear? Is my thinking based on love or fear?
- We are inclined to think some people are more special, valuable or lovable than others = tricky territory
- Our problem is we want our own way of doing things, as if we knew better than God what was good for us.
- The ego is attached to outcomes. The Holy Spirit fully accepts all situations knowing that each one is the perfect classroom for our learning.
- There is nothing that happens to us that cannot be seen as holding a gift or a miracle within it. Once we change our mind, there are no problems, only opportunities.
- My goal is to be at peace regardless of externals
- This is not a course of love and light, but one that holds up a mirror to your unflattering side.
The work of the Course is the UNDOING of blocks, not a dismissal of them. The Course actively warns us against denial, which would only keep the blocks in place and give them more power.
