HOLMES
hail guys,
this study group is on the book that was channeled by inner dictation by helen schucman. it all started out by someone suggesting that "there must be another way" and her agreement to help him find it.
apparently this course is the other way she said.
this is a study on the course itself, and we are not looking at if she was really channeling the source or not. what we will look at is how the message of love is in this course or not.
this course has been described as a mental training course by some, and as a brain washing course by others.
therefore i suggest that the lessons for the days should not be repeated at interveals as described in the book, but considered as the thought of the day to consider.
i am not the leader, in fact my subscription ends in june, yet that gives us close to two months together and so i am going to set this up so the group can continue without me
-------------------------------
there will be primary kinds of groups studying this course. the posts under each heading from each chapter,
example in chapter one there is the first heading the principles of the miracles.
i won't be quoting from the book directly but paraphrasing and describing what it means to me and so you are encouraged to do so.
currently there is an interest by two people and so those who wish to join simply have to have the three in one edition,
or get the editions as you feel the need.
(get the textbook and study that or get the workbook and study that ).
the manual for teachers will come after the 365 day workbook is done, (which may take up to two years for sometimes the one who takes the initiation will go away for vacation and such.)
the what it is section of the book says that it focuses on expereince and not theology with the emphasis on universality.
so although christian in terms, it deals with spiritual themes and it is but one form of the course of which there are many forms.
and at the end of the course , you will be left with your inner spirit to guide you and so the course in miracles is just the beginning.
it focus is to change your perceptions to seek deeper truths in order to awaken from the dreams,
alternativley as you study the course you can exchange god , and father to goddes and mother,
to the source and creator
and the son to being the created ?
therefore let us get ready to start,
the book says that this is a required course,, and the time we take it is voluntary which means we elect what we take at a given time.
this means to me that in this life or the next i will take this course and attempt to understand its principles.
and recall that this course is true and is only in christian terms in this form,
it can be in buddha terms in other forms in other lives.
the time we take it therefore means when we are ready for while we feel we are running out of time,
time in fact doesnt exist and so we have all the time we desire to take it.
the book at the introduction says we can not establish it curriculm , which means we can change the universal laws, for they are there for us to learn.
it main focus is not to teach love but to remove the blocks to awareness of love. which is the source.
therefore
"nothing real can be threatened
nothing unreal exists
herein lies the peace of the god", (or the creator )
it will take the whole course to fully understand what that means, both the workbook and the textbook
yet if i can attempt to explain it,,
nothing real of the creator can be destroyed, nothing that can be destroyed exists,
there is the creator in all that brings us peace of mind.
as for the workbook the truth behind it is the application of what it teaches is to everything and nothing excluded.
