A Course in Miracles goes far beyond an intellectual endeavor. It is a course in relinquishing every concept that we have ever held and opening to a deep trust that Spirit will guide and lead us. We can’t trust our past learning, our opinions, or our past experience, for these were made by the ego. Nor can we trust Newtonian empirical research, which is also an egoic projection based on the belief in an external world. Yet we can trust the Holy Spirit, Who will lovingly unwind our mind from every self-concept and limiting belief we ever held. By choosing to hear and follow His Voice alone, we will gradually awaken to Love’s Presence and be happy.
“It didn’t surprise me when revelatory experiences started to happen because Jesus starts right off at the beginning of the text talking about miracles and revelation. Miracles are the means and revelation is the end. [Those experiences show] you a glimpse of what this is all about. ACIM is there to reassure us not to be frightened of Love, to not be frightened of the Light, when we have those experiences.”
