INTRODUCTION TO MIRACLES

[Sidney Lambe]

From the ACIM urtext, INTRODUCTION TO MIRACLES:

14. Miracles attest to truth. They are convincing because they
arise from conviction. Without conviction, they deteriorate into
magic, which is mindless, and therefore destructive, or rather,
the uncreative use of Mind.

http://courseinmiracles.com/urtext/

What complete nonsense. "Miracle" as a word, has been around for
a very long time. ACIM was supposedly channelled in the 1960's.

1: An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in
human affairs

2: an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or
accomplishment

http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/miracle

You have to be a pretty stupid person to hijack a long
established word to use to describe something entirely different.
I've read the ACIM definition of a supposed 'miracle' about
twenty times, now.

It still makes no sense. Which is one of the reasons these poor
people are such basket cases.

The Truth can be stated clearly and concisely in Plain English,
using ordinary words.

Anyone who tries to tell you different is clueless. And probably
an elitist snob. Like the jerks on this group.

The ACIM definition of miracles is garbage. It's definition of
magick is also garbage.

The idea that miracles and magick are two different things is
purely Biblical.

ACIM followers are actually closet fundamentalist Christians
pretending to be something else.

I am telling you from the bottom of my heart, and I've been
around for about 60 years now, and tried just about every
spiritual path that exists. Including being a Christian monk.

ACIM is POISON. It's just fundamentalist Christianity in
disguise.

One Truth is that magick is the way reality works. It is the true
science. Magick is simply the conscious creation of miracles.
Everything is a miracle.

1: An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in
human affairs

Everything is divine. That obviously includes humans. The spirit
becomes flesh. Energy changes form. Nature _is_ supernatural.

There is only one ultimate creative source, and that source is
God. The _conscious_ use of that creative force by any being
(and there isn't anything but beings) can reasonably be called
'magick': creating some-thing from no-thing by an act of will.

Note that I don't read the articles of any of the creepy
religious zealots on this group anymore.

Dumb parrots with big egos are boring as hell.

They get to keep their punk mouths shut when they are
in my space. Most of them manifest most of the signs
of being very serious trolls. Internet vermin.

Since I have gotten into seeing you as entertaining and livening up the
newsgroup, it's changed the whole dynamics of it (and your posts) for me.
Shifted out of ego, or something, which changes the experience, without
needing "you" to be different, or even for me to try and understand you or
figure you out. "No one comes into our lives by accident" and it's all
perfect, even if we (those around you, here) don't always understand it, or
figure out the whys of it. You are here, for whatever reason, and posting
and adding new life to the group. It's all good.

It could also be seen as an observation, and my peace of God doesn't

It's an "observation", is it? Well, here's someone else's observation
on the of late so trendy American wisdom, "It's all good":

Whatever it is, it's NOT an "observation", or it wouldn't be quite so
out of sync with what is actually before the eyes of the observer.

If you don't like something you can just make a peaceful choice not to be
part of it.
I don't think judgement and/or observation has to be of great importance.
Just something to go by as we make our own choices in life.
Like I still read on this newgroup and choose to look for things to
possibly h ave discussions about. Whether it's seen ad judgement,
observation or I must be nuts doesn't really matter to me. I make my own
choices and create my own reality.
And, I'm not so sure Bob Dylan is any kind of an ultimate authority on
"how it is". If a restaurant has flies, and you don't like this, don't go
there.

I think if you see something outside yourself then It's part of you.
No sense in trying to separate it from yourself since that is the
problem. Only thoughts of union can heal. There is always another way
to look at everything. I've proven this to myself over and over again.
Sometimes with "seemingly" impossible situations. But they're always
transformed into great blessings for me. If I want. Not wanting is my
burden at times.

I feel the years of participting on this ng have helped me with all of
this. And, even though I know there's never really "someone else", being
part of the world, choosing to live in it (in form) we kind of have to deal
with it like there is. Just know what REALLY matters and what doesn't and
just let things go. It's the best feeling (and ultimately for all who might
otherwise have been involved) to not tie in with something that "isn't
love". Stay in Right Mind/Spirit instead.
Allow and accept. (now someone will probably say "you are going to do with
when someone is going to beat you, or kill you, or do harm to someone else?"
that's something else. And, if I am in Right Mind/Spirit and coming from
this, a place of love and peace and joining (in mind) I don't think anyone
would be trying to kill me (or anyone else around me). I don't think being
in ego would prevent it from happening.

Here you see A Course In Miracles promoting one of the most

There is not. Miracles and magick are one and the same thing.
And there is NOTHING, anywhere, that is mindless. All phenomena
are composed of, and created by, consciousnesses.

The Course says that "magic is an attempt to reconcile the
irreconcilable." It is a way to form solutions to problems that do not
exist. You really should read the material all the way though.

I see that the would-be ideological thug, John R.
has replied to this article _again_.

(Religious fanatics just can't take it when you tell
them to shove their stupid, creepy religions.)

No doubt, he's saying that I am incapable of understanding
what I read. <yawn>.

The real course in miracles is called "The Nature of Personal
Reality", by Jane Roberts.

ACIM is just fundamentalist Christianity in a New Age costume.

Jesus would laugh if he read it.

(Christianity/ACIM and the teachings of Jesus are very
different things indeed.)

It still makes no sense. Which is one of the reasons these poor
people are such basket cases.
The Truth can be stated clearly and concisely in Plain English,
using ordinary words.
Anyone who tries to tell you different is clueless. And probably
an elitist snob. Like the jerks on this group.
The ACIM definition of miracles is garbage. It's definition of
magick is also garbage.
The idea that miracles and magick are two different things is
purely Biblical.
ACIM followers are actually closet fundamentalist Christians
pretending to be something else.
I am telling you from the bottom of my heart, and I've been
around for about 60 years now, and tried just about every
spiritual path that exists. Including being a Christian monk.
ACIM is POISON. It's just fundamentalist Christianity in
disguise.
One Truth is that magick is the way reality works. It is the true
science. Magick is simply the conscious creation of miracles.
Everything is a miracle.
1: An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in
human affairs
Everything is divine. That obviously includes humans. The spirit
becomes flesh. Energy changes form. Nature _is_ supernatural.
There is only one ultimate creative source, and that source is
God. The _conscious_ use of that creative force by any being
(and there isn't anything but beings) can reasonably be called
'magick': creating some-thing from no-thing by an act of will.
Note that I don't read the articles of any of the creepy
religious zealots on this group anymore.
Dumb parrots with big egos are boring as hell.
They get to keep their punk mouths shut when they are
in my space. Most of them manifest most of the signs
of being very serious trolls. Internet vermin.

I see that another ACIM sockpuppet has shown up to attack that
terrible man with the functioning mind (me) who has read the ACIM
urtext several times and thinks that it is poisonous garbage

And I'm sure that the attack is disguised as reasonable
discourse. These people have the morals of cheap whores.

Listen, you nasty creeps: People who use common first names for
aliases are always trolls. Or very stupid people who haven't
noticed that only trolls call themselves only "Mike" and
"Stephen" and "Deborah" and so forth.

On all the other groups I'm subscribed to, people who use those
aliases are killfiled.

I can't use my trollfilter here here because if I did, I'd only
see Carrie's posts. (She's the only person I've ever seen using
that alias.)

"The Nature of Personal Reality" by Jane Roberts is the
REAL 'course in miracles'. ACIM is fundamentalist
Christianity in a new age costume.

OMG Sidneys chatbot, thanks for churning this out, lest we'd never
know.

LOL
