A Course in Miracles thoughts A Course in Miracles - CJ Root

- Religion & Spirituality
This is a platform for me to share thoughts on A Course in Miracles. I've been a student for 27 years 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.

I also have a FB group that really isn't active, but if you're interested in the posts, it's called:

A Tiny Spot of Senseless Mystery 05.26.24
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 darkness - in fact, it's all there is to see with the bodies eyes while we seem to walk the earth. We can experience a reflection of the truth when we forgive which means we look upon our choice for the ego without judgment. We can only do that with Jesus or the HS.
Thank you for listening. I appreciate you being here. :-) -
ACIM: A Context for Experience
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."

The Ugliness of the Face of Innocence
ACIM sections referenced:
Chap. 31 The Final Vision; Section V Self-Concept versus Self
WB Lesson 132
WB Lesson 158
Chap. 18 The Passing of the Dream; Section V The Happy Dream
Chap. 29 The Awakening; Section IV Dream Roles
Chap. 12 The Holy Spirit's Curriculum; Section III The Investment in Reality
WB Lesson 182
As Workbook Lesson 182 states: "You have not lost your innocence. It is for this you yearn. This is your heart's desire. This is the voice you hear, and this the call which cannot be denied."
We cannot want the false innocence of the "face of innocence" - the innocence that proclaims another is guilty. We look at that face in order to look beyond it and stop deceiving ourselves. Nothing outside of us can bring happiness and Peace to us, but there is nothing outside of us. The Truth is all there is and everything else is our own nightmare. -
