This is a group for students of A Course in Miracles. If someone has no interest
in A Course in Miracles, they might try another board.
"Are other teachers possible, to lead the way to those who speak in different
tongues and appeal to different symbols? Certainly there are."
- A Course in Miracles, Manual For Teachers, Section 23, "Does Jesus Have a
Special Role in Healing?"
"This is a manual for a special curriculum, intended for teachers of a special
form of the universal course. There are many thousands of other forms, all with
the same outcome. They merely save time."
- A Course in Miracles, Manual For Teachers, Section 1, "Who Are God's Teachers?"
If someone doesn't understand something, it's either because they're
misinterpreting it, or it's wrong. You wouldn't want to follow a
misinterpretation, and you would not want to follow something wrong. And all
things have a time and place. "Shout the truth from the rooftops" (Matt 10:27)?
Or "Don't cast pearls before swine" (Matt 7:6)?
And even yet, when studying A Course in Miracles, some say take what fits, and
what helps, and leave the rest at the door. Pursue then, what helps.
The most intelligent approach to take to God, to religion, and to the world, is to
pursue Truth and Fundamental Truth. The truth is more, and perhaps less, than A
Course in Miracles. The truth is found in other books besides A Course in
Miracles, and ultimately Paul the Apostle says, is written on our hearts: (2
Corinthians 3:3, Romans 2:15, & Hebrews 8:10).
"Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and
for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the
truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
- John 18:37, Holy Bible, New Testament, NKJV
The Words of Truth which have come from Jesus, have always been the Words of the
Spirit of Truth:
"For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a
command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command
is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me,
so I speak.”
- Jesus Christ, John 12:49-50, Holy Bible, New Testament, NKJV
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However,
when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He
will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He
will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is
Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I
said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you."
- Jesus Christ, John 16:12-16, Holy Bible, New Testament, NKJV
"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and
they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."
- Jesus Christ, John 10:16, King James Version, Holy Bible
"I have assured you that the Mind that decided for me is also in you, and that you
can let it change you just as it changed me. This Mind is unequivocal, because it
hears only one voice and answers in only one way. You are the light of the world
with me. Rest does not come from sleeping but from waking. The Holy Spirit is the
Call to awaken and be glad. The world is very tired, because it is the idea of
weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the Call for God. Everyone
will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as One. What
better vocation could there be for any part of the Kingdom than to restore it to
the perfect integration that can make it whole? Hear only this through the Holy
Spirit within you, and teach your brothers to listen as I am teaching you."
"I heard one voice because I understood that I could not atone for myself alone.
Listening to one voice implies the decision to share It in order to hear It
yourself. The Mind that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to every mind
created by God, because God's wholeness is the wholeness of his Son. You cannot be
hurt, and do not want to show your brother anything except your wholeness. Show
him that he cannot hurt you and hold nothing against him, or you hold it against
yourself. This is the meaning of "turning the other cheek."
"My mind will always be like yours, because we were created as equals. It was only
my decision that gave me all power in heaven and earth. My only gift to you is to
help you make the same decision. This decision is the choice to share it, because
the decision itself is the decision to share. It is made by giving, and is
therefore the one choice that resembles true creation. I am your model for
decision. By deciding for God I showed you that this decision can be made, and
that you can make it.
I have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond to the same Mind
to do this. This Mind is the Holy Spirit, Whose Will is for God always. He teaches
you how to keep me as the model for your thought, and to behave like me as a
result. The power of our joint motivation is beyond belief, but not beyond
accomplishment. What we can accomplish together has no limits, because the Call
for God is the Call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message is for you, to hear
and give away as you answer the Holy Spirit within you." - ACIM, Ch. 5
