Hi Dan...I couldn't find that ...Self clearing course ...where was that from?
|
Workbook Lesson 281:
"I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts." Workbook Lesson 284: "I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt." Workbook Lesson 338: "I am affected only by my thoughts." |
Workbook Lessons 361-365:
"This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, Certain that Your direction gives me peace." |
For those that know nothing of the terms used in ACIM, the holy instant, Atonement and even a
different take on what forgiveness is is explained in The Text. Forgiveness being a major message of ACIM...hmm, or is it THE message?:smile: Also, a side note, the 365 Lessons are meant to be pondered from first to last...and The Text read regularly along with the Workbook, when practicing The Course we don't jump ahead..just to explain a little. It is a method, step by step of changing the perception of the mind... so we follow the steps in order. |
Maybe it is a good time to say a little about ACIM....to help understand it better.
For those people here that understand this place , this world you see, is not real...not really...ACIM will be easier. I mean, it appears very real! If it didn't, it wouldn't deserve the name an Illusion. :tongue: Maybe: 'a bad attempt at an illusion'! LOL...but, no, it fools us all! One of the premises of ACIM regarding forgiveness is: This IS a dream...so whatever someone did to you....they really didn't do...you dreamed it up...it's your dream, for Pete's sake...see? There's nothing to forgive when you made them up and made what they did up. See how this is diff from the Christian idea that, 'there is somebody that did something ". And by realizing all this and forgiving...we get off the wheel of birth and death... this is at the core of The Course. Plus, to remind ... this was all dictated by Jesus on the Other Side...in the late 1960s to someone in NYC...a professor, Helen...a Jew. hahahaha This is good stuff ! |

As Miss Hepburn indicated, the entire ACIM was dictated to Helen Schucman, a psychologist in NYC who "heard" a voice dictating the material to her. Miss Schucman was Jewish, which makes the book even more remarkable since the material was not part of her cultural/religious heritage. Moreover, she didn't even read the materials initially but, since she couldn't go to sleep until she had transcribed the dictation, she merely wrote it down and put it away so that she could go to sleep. At one point, she showed it to one of her psychology colleagues who called it brilliant, which it is. On another occasion, she met with a friend, Judith Skutch, who asked her if she had been hearing a "voice". Helen was stunned by the question and then revealed that she had indeed been hearing a voice but that she hadn't really read the channeled materials. When Judith asked for a copy, Helen complied after which the ACIM spread through California and the rest is history. There is an excellent book, "Journey Without Distance" (Author is Robert Skutch, ISBN: 0-89087-431-X Publisher is Celestial Arts), which is the story behind "A Course In Miracles". It is well worth reading. |
Here is the first exercise from the self clearing course. The Acim'ler here will recognize the similarities from one of the lessons.
And one or another will find it helpful into doing the lesson from the Acim better. Quote:
