Christianity was all platitudes. The new agers still keep god and kingdom outside themselves. They don't ground themselves in the identity of god. I left those groups as well because it was not resonating or making a difference. I didn't find the living water. It is in ACIM.

I could not retain Jesus. My attitude became surprise me. That left an opening for there to be truth. I was open to other religions. I was an agnostic for a while. I always had a loss and longing for there to be something. I was always disillusioned with life. I know ACMI is the truth having gone down many byways. I would not allow myself to get sucked in by any doctrine people claimed to be absolute truth.

So inspiring! Thank you Emily! ❤

A Course in Miracles isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. Not everyone vibes with the same kind of spiritual journey-some people prefer a simple map, while others love diving into a giant, mystical treasure hunt. For those of us who love this book, it’s like finding a key to unlock parts of ourselves we didn’t even know existed. Sure, it’s a challenging read (and sometimes feels like it was written by a poetic Jedi), but for the right people, it’s a game-changer. And for those who find it too much? That’s okay too! We’re all climbing the same mountain, just using different trails. Let’s celebrate all the ways we get there-whether it’s with A Course in Miracles or something totally different.

💜💜💜

Is it true that the course in miracles teaches you to see your love with an intimate partner as an illusion? and that intimate relationship love should considered to be no higher than love for a brother in your community?

@29:11 sometimes I wonder how these two navigate the age difference in their relationship. I’ve been waiting for hours for some insight. Here it is, just back up 30 seconds or so from the timestamp to get the context. Worth it Dude’s still like, “wow you’re really young!” She be like, “ya moving on.” There are some things ineffable here. I mean, the overwhelming impression I get is of a dude whose head is continually in the clouds with a lady who’s equally so, until he crash lands and then they realize the age difference and quickly shake the magic carpet they’re riding and once they’re aloft again it doesn’t matter up there So cool how this little bump in the road went under the car that is their togetherness. These two are so freaking lucky to have each other. Marvelous

Hi, Robert and Emily! I posted this in the Circle Community as well, but wanted to post it here in case it was missed. I have not finished watching this yet, but I wanted to share something I discovered some time ago on this very topic of the Course being referred to as "self-study." I have a small little book called "Choose Once Again: Selections from A Course in Miracles" that was edited by Julius J. Finegold and Bill Thetford. It was published in 1981 by the Foundation for Inner Peace. It is possible one or both of you also have a copy of this book. I cannot find any indication regarding who wrote the introduction, but I always assumed it was Bill. The second paragraph begins with the question, "What is A Course in Miracles?" There is then a description of the three volumes. I am going to quote what is written about the Manual for Teachers and the sentence directly after this brief description. The Manual is described as 88-pages "which defines the role of teachers (all of us, as we are all teachers and pupils to each other). At another level, the Course is a re-teachinig of eternal truths, presented as a self-study course for personal transformation." Very interesting. The parenthetical statement about "all of us" being teachers and pupils seems to downplay the role of actual teachers of the Course. And, that next sentence minimizes the role of teacher again by using that all-to-familiar term, "self-study." I am not sure if this is the earliest published use of that term, but 1981 does seem pretty early when it comes to the history of the Course.

Had to post again, this is fascinating, I appreciate the insights and objective analyses. I keep thinking, there's a receiver, a transducer and a transmitter. The logos itself could be characterized as a pure coherent signal looking for a receptive circuit. :)

Agenesis or partiality of the development of the corpus callosum? Breakdown of the bicameral mind? Dunno, but just speculating. I've read much of the course. It is significant.

Only a few bunch of satanic cult believing bastards of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man including the crooks who did the carbon dating nonsense were desperately trying to disprove and dismiss the shroud of Turin as a mere catholic thing out of their satanic inspired hatred without cause against the Church of saints that Jesus established under the stewardship of Peter but the shroud itself stood up to protect the devinely testimonial masterpiece of Jesus's resurrection which no human science can even comprehend nor will ever be and those idiots are not realising the fact that what they are doing is tantamount to falsely testifying against Jesus himself just like the ones who crucified him

I barely came across the book it’s as if I was I guided to buy the book and of course I did and as soon as I started to read the book I knew who the teacher was he was my teacher my friend my brother inner guidance my spiritual eyes were opened I was in isolation for a couple of years and then went out into the world and I fell in love with world everything is peace and joy and bliss and eternal a new world the promise

I really appreciated this Thank you for sharing ❤

I love this!! Thank you so much!! Well said! xx

MKUltra brainwashing gone viral!

So hard to discern who's talking. This is good though. Thanks

Seems like a semantics confusion. The course is adamantly clear that we return "home" together or not at all. We cant do it on our own, yet we must all in sone sense acknowledge the oaradox we are alone together in our separate experience. It is seld study in the aense it is a study if the "self" and we need the mirror of others and rhe inner teacher. And ar times external more formal teachers who are also students xan be useful.

Healing is very inevitable… mind healing definitely extends into the body in the dream 🎉❤ Lesson 24 and throughout the course this is explained… thankfully very obvious ❤

Duality and separation are a real kicker. I mean. The was a time when there was one Course of miracles but apparently there are now two. Polarisation. Duality. As soon as you have duality your back in the loop. Get to ACIM students together and they will probably differ on a detail. I think people should never try and teach the course. I think it is healthy to chat about like any scientist. How many versions of Christianity are there. How many versions of Islam or Buddhism even Catholicism and Protestantism. It is EGO joke of divide and conquer. I have been a student since around 2017. I live in a foreign country and it has helped me stay centered because first I discovered that we students are generally led to ACIM and I found the answer in of everything I had been asking about but I am yet to find anyone outside the community who buys it. Having bought it, in many cases people won't read it and I believe EGO does not want us reading it. It wasn't happy about me reading it. I thing it has to be a self study course because ultimate it is the self that chooses again and eventually that last choice it the last choice, made in isolation. God bless

I don't know if you're going to see this comment after more than a year, but here goes. You are puzzled about the apocalyptic parables in the Gospel's and Revelations (which is what "apocalypse" means). Both science and scripture tell us that Nature/Creation has an evolution/unfolding order toward greater diversity, beauty and intelligence. The scientific best term for this is Syntropy, the opposite of entropy. This evolving syntropy requires a process of selection, where "unfit" individuals and even whole species are eliminated, unable to propogate, if they are not in harmonious accord with the laws/constraints of Nature or the Creator. This is an established fact as far as I know. Evolving syntropy also requires that individuals and whole species are free to deviate from what preceeded them, whether through genetic mutations, cultural innovation, or other forms of free-will and choice. The consequences of these changes and choices includes the selection process, though this is extremely dynamic and contextual. Ways of living that have been harmonious with Nature and the Creator for many many generations can become unfit when the wider context changes. Remember, Creation/Nature are not static. Conditions change. Furthermore, when conditions change rapidly, so do "selection pressures". This has happened repeatedly in the past, and every time results in dies-offs and extinction events. We are in the midst of one of these events, with loss in biomass and species diversity due to extremenly rapid changes Earth's oceans, climate, and ecosystems caused by destructive human technologies and consumption. In this way, mankind has become like the Beast of Reveleation, our thoughtless consumption driven by greed and desire, not by our true needs. All indications are that in a handful of generations, will experience a mass die-off as so many species are already, and perhaps join those on the "extinct" list. This judgement/selection is not mystical magical wu-wu or fire and brimstone fundamentalism. Not at all. It is a fulfillment of God's plan for how Creation evolves and sustains herself - the fit being separated from the unfit, and the unworthy being tossed into the fire. This is no more harsh than the blessing of gravity, which will rip my body apart if I jump off a tall tower, but which formed the stars and the elements, birthed the earth and clothes her in water and atmosphere, and causes our sun to radiate its life-giving energy. So this explains why God's plan is that the unworthy "goats" must, at some time, be selected by Nature to be tossed into the fire. But what about the other part of the parable, where humans are expected to be merciful to the poor, the vulnerable, the weak, and the apparently unworthy? Emily stumbles on this apparent contradiction by assuming that we are supposed to act like God in terms of judgement/selection of other people (or even other creatures?). But this is clearly not the case. As Robert points out, the Gospels clearly teach us to refrain from judging, punishing, or killing "others" because they appear weak, unworthy, or different from us. This may not have been necessary when our hominid ancestors were still embedded in Nature/Creation, before our novel intelligences allowed us to speak and cooperate (the fruit of knowledge), before our big brains caused painful and dangerous childbirth, before we set about controlling nature through agriculture and technology, before we managed to escape the usual forces of selection (for a while) and our population exploded across the planet. Like it or not, the fact is humanity entered a period of (constrained) dominion over the Earth ("The Fall"), and this is where we find ourselves. The questions is whether Nature is going to correct this deviation by finally selecting humanity as unworthy after all, or we are going become worthy by understanding and respecting God's plan for Creation, and our place in it, by expanding our awareness of God, the sacred, and the miracuous, by seeking love and compassion, and by transcending greed, power-lust, fear of "the other", and other unecessary fears and desires. In other words, will we set about cultivating syntropic communities (the Sonship), or remain in bondage to exponential entropic consumption (the Beast).

I have heard this inner voice or guide before giving me a warning of something about to happen, that did happen. It was in my language. I could never know how to describe it or how it happened.

I agree that the cult of individual specialness is a major hindrance to true forgiveness. The only remedy is to think that we are all exactly the same , which means that no one is special.

Hello Emily & Robert ...... I've thought more about this since I first saw your video, and while its clear that you are working to maximize the effectiveness of the course in people's lives, I think I understand the mistake that was made making this concept feel not wholly true. Thet eaching - learning situation as the course describes in the manual is the ideal outcome of the holy spirit entering the relationship. I am certain you would agree to this. "Each one learns that giving and receiving are the same ...." Where I think you are incorrect is that you think you can arrange such a teaching-learning situation i a formalized fashion, aka, your "group leader program". You are incorrect. Miracles are habits and should be involuntary. To add to the understanding of my point..... I work on Britney's team, and she has called people together to work the workbook in groups. In these groups, all the participants are equal in their role. And Britney DOES not declare herself as the head teacher, and makes clear who she is and who she is not. The teaching-learning situation in these relationships, in these groups, HAS YET TO BE "triggered", as just saying YES is simply not enough to accept the goal of the relationship. People say yes all the time, but they do not stick to the work to receive its miraculous benefits. I do not believe that everyone who says yes to your program or to Britney or to anyone, will become a miracle worker. You cannot force healing to those who do not desire healing. And lots of people who do the course, do not desire healing yet. So just to summarize again. The ICK in this concept is that the teaching learning situation is arranged by the holy spirit and not through commercial ventures or free workshops. Joining a group or a workshop ir a course Its not enough, and to assume it is, is to underestimate what a miracle really IS and does for the mind of the receiver. Please notice the "you do not arrange part" "Through your holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy instant you do not arrange, thousands will rise to Heaven with you. " Thank you for listening.

For me, forgiveness rests on the fact that we are all in the same boat of illusion. Or, to put it another way , we have all made the same mistake of forgetting our true nature. How could we have compassion for our own mistakes if we can't forgive the mistakes of " others " ?

We don't really forgive " others " because there's only ONE of us . If we want to know our wholeness, then our minds must include all of us , as one .

Wow. Great video. Love it. That's my God. All loving no judgment. Just love. Only if we all understood this 😢😢😢😢😢😢

We are missing the personal relationship with God, like compltely personal And and do people read the introduction like that makes no sense that completely changed my brain chemistry, and melt my heart And I was just from the original edition

I dont see the diffrence between a teacher and therapist, my professional liscened therapist was my teacher and my therapist

Very interesting! Thank you very much! Probably it is not through the intellect that we can understand such questions, however I have a few. If the Plan is timeless, how can it come to completion? And regarding the salvation of the world, what world? Does that refer to the world created by human beings? In such a case, being this world an illusion, why should it deserve "salvation"? Salvation of an illusion? And following to the reconciliation of human beings with God? Why? What for? Thank you very much.

💜💜💜

Hello Emily and Robert, I' ve been studying the Course for some time now, on my own. I' ve used your videos and articles to clarify some concepts that would not have been clear overwise. I do not know anybody that is familiar with ACIM, and can't figure out where to find a teatcher. What is your opinion about such circumstances? Thanks

Wonderful episode/conversation!

Hey Emily & Robert, Thanks for your video. I am inspired to add my thoughts to this conversation. You are both correct that the community’s current definition of self-study generally means “learn the Course by yourself.” I do not agree with this conclusion either. We are NOT meant to study ACIM by ourselves. However, there is another way to define "self-study" that makes sense. To me, it means that only I can change my mind, decide when to study, how often to study, and whether I even choose to study at all. I am the only one who can take responsibility and rule my own mind-no one else can do that for me. It’s up to me to decide if I will listen to Christ or my ego to define things for me. In this sense, it IS a self-study course. Even in your edition it says at the beginning of T3: "This course is a mind training course. Good students assign study periods for themselves. I urge you to make this obvious assignment now" You’re also right that ACIM is about relationships. We can’t learn it properly in isolation. To me, ACIM is fundamentally about the holy relationship-we learn of our True Self and True Purpose in our holy relationships and its a way of "saving us time". But self-study and applying it in relationships work together, they must, otherwise its too easy to let go of our own sense of agency and take what others say as "truth" instead of coming to it inside our selves through our inner teacher.... This is why its important to remember that when Jesus speaks of teacher/pupil relationships, he doesn’t mean formal A Course in Miracles teachers-he’s referring to being a Teacher of God. Not everyone is called to teach the Course like you guys or me. That’s a God-given role and definitely NOT part of everyone's curriculum... However, we can all be Teachers of God in our own lives, as the Spirit directs us. Jesus tells us that "to teach is to demonstrate" and we are to demonstrate, every day, that Christ is in us and that we are not an ego. In the Teacher’s Manual, under “Levels of Teaching,” Jesus explains this idea beautifully. He shows us that by “teacher,” he means Teacher of God, and by “pupil,” he means anyone we encounter where there’s an opportunity to see innocence-like a child bumping into us on the street “accidentally.” Jesus never mentions teacher as being a formal “A Course in Miracles teacher.” I am open to having a back and forth about this, as its definitely an important topic to clear up. Love you guys. Thanks for all you do for the Course <3

"Presumably ". That clicked. 33:10.

I can’t see the issue here. The Workbook does not say: ‘Go out, find yourself a registered / qualified Course teacher, and then we will start’. We have seen evidence of previous Course communities where the “guru” problem arises from a single teacher assuming so much power over the whole operation. The Course says: “The teacher will arrive when the student is ready”. The development of self discipline to get up each day, and read through the lesson of the day, and do the practice periods, IS up to each of us as individuals. Later, as we start to learn about the exponential power of the holy relationship, our learning becomes much more interactive. I like the way that the Manual talks about the teacher/pupil relationship in the first section - it is a refreshing reversal of traditional concepts of teaching and “pupilling”. Also, as well you know, we have a history of Ken Wapnick trying to control the delivery of teaching so tightly, and putting copyrights on the Course etc. How did that turn out? Let’s learn from that. With love.

Hello Robert and Emily. It’s Donna Feldhan from Course Companions and I’d like to share my experience.I’ve been in a Teacher-Pupil relationship with a longtime Circle of A member since 2023.I can attest to the healing and growth I’ve received in this particular relationship. I remember when we started working one-on-one my teacher told me her role was to motivate me to learn quicker than if I were studying on my own. I’ve witnessed the evidence of that statement and have even received physical healing through our relationship. It’s been guided by the Holy Spirit since the beginning, and, yes, I’ve thrown my own ego tantrums and have been resistant to her authority as a teacher. All of this is to be expected but I’m grateful for this opportunity. She always reminded me we are equal brothers but she is further along than me in time and one day I’ll be where she is😊 And one more thing: this is Jesus’ book and this is his plan for our return to God. Being in this relationship has been a testament to that🙏

Hmmmm...Steve Irwin was absolutely in love with and saw the divine in the animals and yet that ended quite badly for him. And how about tsunamis that have wiped out thousands of people ...was that their lack of love???

Hmmmm..... This is very interesting topic to debate. To me it IS a self study course 100000% for the sole reason that you apply the course in YOUR mind only. It ISn't a self study course BECAUSE it is about the holy relationship. Teachers of God have been around before the course itself. And so the reference is not to a teacher of ACIM, but a teacher of God. And it doesn't mean do what you want, it literally means you are studying YOURSELF, both the Self you are and the self you made. The reasons you gave as to why its not a self study course are not really the reasons. There is 0.0000% chance that learning the course requires anything external except a relationship in which you can see the Christ in another and thus see it in yourself.

Maybe self is referring to capital Self. It is a Self study course. Are you suggesting people change the copywriting/marketing to “a course to study the true Self.” Also there is a psychotherapy pamphlet. So therapy is might be a big part of healing for people.
