the course in miracles study group.

Indeed, the mind wants to argue and find barriers and protest. After you read Tolle, you'll get a sense of what he's saying about using the mind as a tool, and setting it aside for moments of "alert presence" to know in other ways . . . which is what we're doing here on AT!

ah ninamagic

one thing that stood out for me is that neale read the course in miracles and that was one of the things that helped prepared him for the conversations to take place.

I don't have the exact quote,, but in one of the books god quotes a term from course in miracles and neal says that is from the course in miracles.
and god says
"yes i put it there"

I just ordered these books

The Journey That Never Was: A Guide to Hearing God's Voice Regardless of One's Faith, Religion, or Personal Beliefs

and

Dialogue on Awakening

i choose these two books for they both have dialogue with the christ teacher after completed the course and i feel they can help me understand me undertand the course better,, or give me further teachings to expand as i explore the course :)

hey guys

http://courseinmiracles.com/

this site has the uratext, the unedited original text which helen was dictated to..
in it the writing is personal, and jesus speaks as if he was speaking right next to you,
just click on printable uratext link.

it is a long read, and just comparing the first 50 principles to the edited text was a big differnce.

but i will keep up with the edited text then read the uratext first.
i just wanted to put this out for you.

Holmes,
I read with such attention this thread...you all put in words something I was not able to verbalize...I felt in my heart that God is only love, and I had so much trouble all of my life with the punitive versions of Him, so much that I really get all tangled up....
I read this thread with a knot in my stomach, I don't know, I finally saw what Neale and Tolle are really saying and I so want to study the course in miracles.
I have been looking for God all of my life, it has been such an important part of it, and distanced myself from the traditional path a while ago.

When you said Only Love is Real, it brought me back to a recent meditation I was doing....during it I "heard" that phrase and saw this beautiful golden white light.It was really comforting and joyful.

I will get the course in miracles, I feel I need to get there to undrestand a lot more....

For some reason the words of all of you have touched me deeply.

Holmes, you are such a special, gentle person.

Love
magenta

ah magenta

thanks for your compliments.

yet it is the beauty of the course coming through that is the beauty party.
like the beauty of the gospels or a true inspiring work like the sistine chapel.

all i try to do is put it into laymans terms for others who having a hard time with it. and i been a bad student lately having only been to a small amount of text work.

I do hope when that you get the book, or download the uratext for free there..
and follow along where i did it so far.
the first lessons of the workbook alone were hard for the first ones are meant to break down one illusions like a master martial artists making one get into conditioning first before teaching one to master one body.

Hail Guys

I haven't forgotten the study of this great book,(great for it was great for me).
in the time since I took the break from the actual day to day study of the course, every day I try to apply its teaching to myself, my life, and my own spiritual growth that comes with it.

it sits there everyday calling to me finish me. It was hard towards the end for i didn't know if anyone was reading the work i was doing which was basically transcribing the text, then adding my own take on the work in an effort to learn it,,and possibly clairfy it.
you may say my ego rebelled and raged against the work, and I had to take some time to assimilate it.

as i come back to this thread i notice there are some chapters not in it,
so here they are

http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=41699
chapter three

http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=42431
chapter four

http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=43222
chapter five

http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=56275
chapter six

http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=55753
workbook 61 to 90.

so I am hoping some of the new members out there who has joined since then may find it of interest,,
and i am hoping to get back to work soon.
