Mostly.... but not entirely.
I repeat,
The goal of the Course is to not fix the world or make it a better place,
it is to awaken from this world of illusion we made
And the quotes from ACIM itself that don't sit well with such an absolutist
statement have absolutely no bearing on what you claim about the Course?

I'd be delighted if everyone was as tolerant of others having
alternative views of the Course as yourself, Linda. But why can't we not
still do that and explore the issue?
I will not discuss anymore with anyone who say that they study ACIM and
believe that this world is real.
*Nobody*, Ossie, has ever been able to debate against the model I've shared
with you *at all* when ACIM is accepted as the evidentiary ground upon which
such a debate should be undertaken. The model of the world being nothing
but an illusion becomes untenable very quickly when faced with the actual
statements from ACIM pertinent to the issue. Did I give you a rude
awakening to this?
There are plenty of other listservs that love to deal with alternative
views of the Course. I do not believe this is the place for that.
Perhaps what you really mean to say is "There are plenty of other people who
can discuss alternative views of the Course but I don't believe I'm someone
who can do that."?
If I am mistaken .. then I will make my leave.
Suit yourself. But why not just simply avoid conversations that you don't
like?
