posted some interesting comments about what is real.
?>>?There's also the idea that the course teaches that we CAN'T "do harm/hurt to anyone else".<<?? ?In truth we can't. Because in truth we are still as God created us. But bodies sure as hell can harm/hurt one another. And to deny it is inappropriate use of denial as the Course says about the body. >>As long as they don't promote it as what A Course in Miracles teaches. :-) ??As far as I can find, there is no where in ACIM where it states that "Bodies sure as hell can? harm/hurt one another, and to deny it is inappropriate use of denial as the Course says about the body." What the course seems to have said is that the reason forgiveness works
is that "It never happened!.."Lesson 32 tells us we have invented the world we
see, and lesson 132, paragraph 7 gets brutally clear with this statement."THERE
IS NO WORLD!" (my emphasis)..?It goes on to add "This is the central
thought the course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready to accept it, and
each must go as far as he can let himself be led along the road to
truth."
??? We can't have it both ways.. Either this world is a
hologram dream we invented, or it is real and people suffer and die and murder
and execute each other. To me, forgiveness is easy if I can remember that the
world is not real, that I have projected the contents of my mind "out there" so
I can blame others for my attacks.
??? In Spanish, the answer to an apology is "De Nada!" Which
literally means, "It is nothing." That's why forgiveness is
easy.
??? Would love to hear others comments on the reality of the
world.
