A COURSE IN MIRACLES,

CONCEPTS FOR LIVING

IN PEACE AND LOVE

The course in miracles changed forever how I look at myself, other people and how I live my life. I have greater peace and harmony than I ever dreamed possible.

I have been a student of ACIM since 1988, and teacher since 2000

This is a book of concepts and definitely not a religion, We have enough of them already.

I found that as I studied ACIM it was a bit like zen, in that one moment I thought I understood it and the next I wanted to throw it because it made no sense at all.

For that reason, it is great if you can find a group to study with. or at least join a blog online.

to learn how ACIM came to be and why it was written, go to The web site.

Lesson 1 and 2 are crucial for every other concept to make better sense. A New Earth also uses these concepts but not in a lesson form as in ACIM book, which is actually 3 book combined into one book.

I suggest you start with the lessons first.

Lesson one suggests you look around you, at various objects and say to yourself, "this means nothing to me."

Eckhart also says to go for a walk and try to block out any meaning of things like trees and flowers etc.

You can add to the mix people( friend or foe), pets, your hand (or any body part,) things that are emotionally impacted by you and try removing your attachment to any meaning of any of these.

DO THIS WITHOUT ANY JUDGMENT FOR A FEW DAYS...THEN GO TO LESSON 2

Lesson 2 Now is the aha moment...go back over as many of the objects, people ( friend or foe), pets, your hand or any body part, at least all that you can remember...say to yourself, "I give this object, this person, my pet, my hand etc...the meaning it has for me."

Your judgments of anything are either packed with emotions, good or bad or is a neutral. Can you see how this can have an impact on your every day life? Can you see how your judgments of say, a family member who pushes your buttons is based on a judgment you have?

ACIM says, " there is another way to look at this, and...Let me see this differently."

These concepts used in your everyday life with people and situations that differ from your perspective can create a better and more peaceful life for all concerned.

The first part of ACIM sounds a lot like the bible in that it talks in biblical language; with exception, it has no fear or condemnation towards anyone.

I found it to be very loving and full of concepts to think differently about everyone and everything.

The second part consists of 365 lessons, one per day. Actually there are 50 concepts hit at from many different directions made into 365 lessons. You find that at times they make you question your sanity. Many people give up on it too soon before an aha moment.

Light of truth steals in upon you through the back door of your understanding..so please give your understanding a chance to catch up before you give up on this study.

The third part, is for teachers. All of us are teachers, whether we want to be or not. We teach with our life , with our words and with the ways we respond to events and the people around us.

As I have already pointed out, I found the first 2 lessons were life changing and was exactly what I needed to awaken me from my spiritual slumber and so it was my first and most important aha moment.

The 2 lessons above can be adapted to everything and everyone in life. The truth of it hits you where you live and is unmistakable.
