Every now and then I check this on Google Groups to see if anything is happening, I think everyone from years ago went on to Facebook, etc. I am surprised to see such activity here, now. And, this is still going on... bashing ACIM and some feeling like it needs defending. I always liked the idea of the totally unmoderated NG, people are free to write whatever they want, and also free to not tie in with it, or see through the eyes of love (instead of attack in need of defense, etc) It's really good practice in remembering what we believe (the course teaches) and putting it into our lives.Can the Truth be harmed and does it need defense?
I'm not sure if some, or a lot of the posts are current, they don't seem to have dates on them, that I can see. One mentioned other NG that were discussing closing this group, but that was a long time ago. Unless it's come up again. Why doesn't every just live their own lives and let others live theirs?
There aren't very many places where people can vent, and express their honest feelings, and beliefs, and not be moderated, like blocked or thrown off a group. And, if others don't like it or agree... why give attention to it? Just send them love and blessings, and let them be.
But.. where are all the people who used to write on here?

Not sure if I can remember the names. One was John Lopez. Some used screen names, and some are on Facebook now. Mike Down Under (Mike Bysouth) Gene Ward Smith. Deborah in BC. I used to get it in a news reader, but don't have a ISP that offers this now, so looking on Google Groups. Early 2000's? Seems like time goes by so fast now. Maybe I can look through the archives and make a list.

Haven't seen anything from any of those guys in decades. So I am curious ... have you been "doing" the Course all these years?

Not really in an active way. I figured, at some point the idea is to just live it. I know it doesn't usually work out well to try and "discuss" it on internet groups. Maybe it's something that cant be actually put into words. There is usually someone ready to tell you how wrong you are and what "Jesus really meant.." etc, I do have some of the old days Course people on my FB..But, we don't really discuss it. I just accept what I believe from it (and sometimes remember) and whatever I get from other teachers/teachings, and experiences. Maybe once something is over and done it's over,like the NG and we move on to other things.

LIKE THAT EVIL SATAN WHO POSSESSED WITCH HELEN
AND HARASSED HER TO SCRIBE THE SO-CALLED COURSE

WHICH MALIGNS JEW JESUS OF THE HOLY BIBLE
WHO NOT ONLY PLAINLY CLEARLY DIRECTLY SAID THAT
SALVATION BELONGS TO THE JEWS (JOHN 4)

BUT ALSO RESPECTED, LIVED-BY, COMMENDED,
AND CONSTANTLY QUOTED THE OLD TESTAMENT
WHICH IS ABOUT THE HEBREWS / ISRAELITES / JEWS

AND OBVIOUSLY WAS AND IS
THE PROPHET THAT MOSES PROPHESIED WOULD
COME FORWARD (DEUTERONOMY 18) AND

THE MESSIAH / KING THAT DANIEL PROPHESIED WOULD
COME FORWARD AND BE KILLED (DANIEL 9) AND

THE SON OF GOD AND THE SON OF MAN THAT DANIEL SPOKE OF
(DANIEL 3) (DANIEL 7).

I'm pretty much on the same page as you are.

The Course does challenge many of the beliefs held by people, and some people tend to ignore certain of those teachings. Myself included. For example, the Course tells us that the belief in medicine is a belief in magic. As long as I am in this world, keeping the body in good working condition is a priority for me, even if in the end the body has to be let go. To me, there is only the present. In the present, I use a body to interact with the physical world, and I (my ego for sure) want my body to be healthy, and for my ego to be happy.

As for magic, I am disappointed that the Course uses the term in a pejorative sense. Magic is a very useful metaphor for me. As Jo Rowling states through her character, Dumbledore, words are our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it. The Course is all words, and its purpose is to heal the dream, and it does so by employing magic, at least according to Jo Rowling's understanding of magic. The Course is a treasure trove of magic.

It appears to me that if the Course is ever to have a key role in social discourse, it will have to be taken metaphorically by most people, and not literally. That weakens the effectiveness of the message, though.

I do understand why in the Course medicine and magic are treated dismissively; it is with regard to the final step of the atonement. However, it should go without saying that the perceived time difference between starting the Course and mastering the Course is the main obstacle to mastering the Course. The final step of the atonement comes at the death of the body, as the mind totally awakens and lets go of the physical realm. Anybody practicing the Course is not going to be instantly ready for the atonement, and will need medicine and magic to get them comfortably to the atonement.

Wow...What a bunch of gobbledygook.

That necessary to be at-one was laid-out by
that Spirit-Soul who was and is
THE MASTER of Masters and THE TEACHER of Teachers
aka THE CHRIST - who is now sitting at the right hand of
THE FATHER GOD in heaven - when he was incarnate on Earth as
Jesus of Nazareth, who said:

"Follow the latter six of The Ten Commandments:
Do not harm other people by neglecting them,
or being physically violent to them,
or cheating on them sexually,
or stealing from them,
or lying about them or to them,
or hatefully envying them, their property, their life."
(Matthew 19) (Mark 10) (Luke 18)

Paul, trained by Jesus, also offered the same instruction:

"Render to every one as is due to him...
and owe no man anything, but love one another.
For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law, which says,
Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not adulter,
Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not covet;
and if there is any other commandment,
it is fulfilled in this saying, namely,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Love works no evil to his neighbor,
because love is the fulfillment of the law."
(Romans 13)

IS THIS MESSAGE NOT ENOUGH, OR NOT GOOD ENOUGH, FOR YOU ??

IS IT TOO SIMPLE, NOT OBTUSE ENOUGH, DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO NAVEL-GAZE
ON YOUR EXPERIENCES AND BELIEFS ??

HOW LOVING IS IT OF YOU TO TOTALLY DISREGARD THESE MEN
AND THEIR PLAIN SIMPLE TEACHING THAT HAS ENORMOUS IMPACT ON
THE LIVES OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET INCLUDING YOURSELF
IF FOLLOWED OR IF NOT FOLLOWED

AND INSTEAD CATER TO THE DEVIL THAT POSSESSED HELEN
AND BROUGHT A MORE THAN 1,000 PAGE SMORGASBORD OF
NARCISSISTIC IDEAS AND TEACHINGS OBSESSED WITH THE HUMAN MIND
AND PRETENDING THAT REALITY TRUTH FACT DOES NOT EXIST AND
THAT JESUS OF NAZARETH DID NOT BRING TRUTH INCLUDING
CONFIRMING THE EXISTENCE OF ANGELS AND FALLEN ANGELS
AND FALLEN ANGEL SATAN AND HELL PREPARED FOR SATAN AND
HIS FOLLOWERS AND ETERNAL DEATH AND EVIL AND SIN ??

THOSE WHO REJECT THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS OF NAZARETH
WILL BE REJECTED BY HIM WHEN HE RETURNS,
KILLED AND CAST ONTO THE OTHER SIDE IN
OUTER DARKNESS FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS STRAIGHT -
THE LONG DARK NIGHT WHEN NO (MORTAL) MAN CAN
LABOR (ON EARTH) (JOHN 9:4) -
WHEN SATAN WILL BE BOUND FROM
OPERATING ON EARTH BECAUSE HE WILL
HAVE NO ONE TO OPERATE THROUGH (REVELATION 20:1-3),
AND THEN SHORTLY LATER BE CAST INTO
THE LAKE OF FIRE WHICH WILL SEPARATE
SOUL FROM SPIRIT AND THE INDIVIDUAL
NO LONGER EXIST NOR EVER EXIST AGAIN.

AND EVEN WHEN YOU THEN NO LONGER EXIST, NOR THEREFORE ALSO YOUR MIND,
GOD’S AND JESUS' PEOPLE AND THEIR MINDS WILL STILL CONTINUE TO EXIST.

YOUR MIND IS NOT REALITY. YOUR MIND IS NOT CREATING REALITY.
REALITY EXISTS IN ADDITION TO YOUR MIND. REALITY IS YOUR MIND AND
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT EXISTS.

THE COURSE IS A BUNCH OF CRAP NONSENSE TO
SET SILLY SINFUL PEOPLE OFF DOWN BLIND ALLEYWAYS AND
DEAD ENDS THAT LEAD TO NOTHING OTHER THAN GOING
ROUND AND ROUND IN A NARCISSISTIC CIRCLE WHILE
DENYING THE CHRIST / JESUS OF NAZARETH AND
THEREFORE ALSO BOTH THE NEW TESTAMENT AND
THE OLD TESTAMENT OF THE HOLY BIBLE AND
THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD WHO INSPIRED
THE CREATION OF THEIR BOOKS.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GOD'S WORD THE HOLY BIBLE NOR
THE TEACHINGS OF THE CHRIST / JESUS OF NAZARETH -

NOT THE COURSE,
NOT THE URANTIA BOOK,
NOT THE SUPPOSED CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD,
NOR ANY OF THE OTHER CRAP THAT HAS BEEN FOISTED ON
THE SILLY SINFUL PUBLIC BY SILLY SINFUL PEOPLE

WHO HAVE HEWN BROKEN CISTERNS THAT CAN HOLD NO WATER (JEREMIAH 2:13)
BECAUSE THEY PREFER FABLES TO THE TRUTH (2 TIMOTHY 4:4).

Hi Starchild,

Your post is reflected in this line from the Course:
T-27.VIII.10. 6 Let them be as hateful and as vicious as they may, they could have no effect on you unless you failed to recognize it is your dream.

How has your experience with the Course unfolded over these years?

For me, after three solid years of ACIM study groups from 1981 to 1984, I pretty much had the material memorized and did not read it again.

Although I went on to live in a Tibetan Buddhist community for a couple years, studied with numerous other religious practitioners of different faiths, and studied physics for several years, the message of the Course continues to guide my decisions.

I have also realized that the message of the Course is more truthful than most people realize. The idea that there is no time is a physical fact. By this, I mean that there is no physical past or physical future that one could travel to. If somehow, matter leaked out of the present, there is no physical world the matter could land in and continue to exist. The only time that exists, both in the physical world and the non-material world, is the present.

Change occurs in the present within the physical world, and yes, we can imagine linear time, but there is no physical reality in the past and no physical reality in the future. All that physically exists, exists only right here and right now.

The holy instant is a practice of fully being aware of this fact, that the only time there is, is now. When we completely let go of all the interpretations, memories, and hopes we place on physical reality, then for that moment, it becomes laughingly obvious that this world is just a dream. I cherish my practices of entering the holy instant several times throughout the day.

However, I still enjoy participating in the dream. I no longer have any fear of what happens in the dream. I find the challenges of physical life to be entertaining, and not unlike playing a harmless game of cards with someone whose company I enjoy.

In the process of being in this world, I can easily peel away the layers of guilt and fear as each situation arises. This is particularly easy to do once I realized that more than 99% of all human suffering is caused by words. It is the importance of words and the meanings we choose to give to them, both the words we speak and the words we hear, that causes nearly all of our grief.

Another reason I enjoy participating in the dream is because of the body. During my 40s, my health began to deteriorate to the point where my body was close to dying. Then I started to explore my body, and the knowledge about it that is available on the Internet, and found ways to heal and rejuvenate the body. Now, as my body approaches 60, my body is again quite healthy. It will still die when I am done with it, but it is interesting to understand the science behind it, and the practices necessary to keep it functioning such that living in it is enjoyable.

Regardless of the fact that this world is an illusion, it remains an illusion based on rules. Learning the rules (science) and learning to live a very healthy and happy life (morality) is, itself, a path to awakening. Minds are born into this world every moment, and minds leave this world every moment; there is no harm in passing along knowledge that can help others who will continue to pass this way. That is, after all, what the Course is; a message about how to awaken, and that was sent to this physical world.

Hi Starchild,

THIS IS ONE NARCISSIST PROVIDING ADVICE TO ANOTHER NARCISSIST.

GOD'S PEOPLE ARE BUSY SEEKING AND DOING GOD'S WILL IN
DESIRE THOUGHT WORD DEED, EVERY AREA OF LIFE,
EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY, WITH PERFECTION AS THE GOAL
SINCERELY FERVENTLY CONSTANTLY BEING STRIVEN TOWARDS,
WHICH IS HOW THE TRUE JESUS OF THE HOLY BIBLE LIVED HIS LIFE AND
ADJURED ALL OTHERS TO DO AS WELL.

SATAN'S PEOPLE ARE BUSY GOING ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND IN
A FRUITLESS CESSPOOL OF THE THOUGHTS FEELINGS EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE,
WHETHER THEIR OWN OR ANOTHER...

THE STATEMENT OF A LOST SOUL WHO HAS YET TO FIND THE TRUTH,
WHICH IS PROVIDED BY THE TRUE JESUS OF THE HOLY BIBLE,
AS THAT JESUS WAS INHABITED BY THE CHRIST WHICH WAS AND IS
THE ONE SPIRIT-SOUL THAT MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH GOD IN
THE BEGINNING TO BE THE CENTRAL FIGURE IN GOD'S PLAN AND
PROGRAM TO SCHOOL AND GRADUATE SPIRIT-SOULS, AND WHICH
BROUGHT TRUTH WHEN INCARNATE AS JESUS OF NAZARETH AS
RECORDED IN THE HOLY BIBLE AND CONFIRMED BY THE
EDGAR CAYCE READINGS AND OTHER SOURCES.

I AM TERRIBLY SORRY THAT YOU HAVE AN OBSESSION WITH SUCH A MUNDANE THING AS
MATTER OR "PHYSICAL REALITY", BUT IT IS LAUGHINGLY OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE
SERIOUSLY DISTURBED AND DELUSIONAL TO SUGGEST THAT IF YOU WERE TO
IN THE FUTURE - SAY TOMORROW - JUMP OFF OF A BUILDING 100 STORIES HIGH
THAT THERE WOULD BE NO PHYSICAL EARTH HIT BY A PHYSICAL BODY LET ALONE THAT
PHYSICAL BODY OF BONES AND FLESH BE CRUSHED AND BROKEN AND TO THE POINT
OF NO LONGER MOVING AND NO LONGER BREATHING.

P.S. I ASSURE YOU THAT THE FUTURE - TOMORROW - WILL DEFINITELY COME -
AND IT WILL STILL HAVE A PHYSICAL EARTH ET CETERA - AS THIS WORLD IS
NOT A DREAM NOR THEREFORE CRAZY LIKE THE DREAM WORLD - BUT RATHER GOD IS
IN CONTROL OF THE MATTER OR "MATERIAL REALITY" THAT HE CREATED AND SET IN
MOTION AND IT WON'T BE TIME TO DECREATE IT ALL BY MEANS OF FIRE UNTIL
SHORTLY AFTER THE 1,000 YEARS STRAIGHT MILLENNIUM OF PEACE HAS ENDED AND
THE DAY OF THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT HAS ARRIVED.

AND TOMORROW THE EARTH WILL STILL BE THE EARTH, THOUGH WITH SOME MAJOR AND
MINOR MODIFICATIONS DUE TO VARIOUS FACTORS THAT OCCURRED TODAY AND
BEFORE TODAY.

YOU DON'T LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS? YOUR HOUSE DOORS?

OMG !! AS FAR AS NON-PHYSICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL TRESPASS,
NOBODY CAN CAUSE GRIEF WITH WORDS UNLESS SOMEONE ALLOWS THEM TO !!

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/04/30/no-one-inferior/


ON THE OTHER HAND, PHYSICAL TRESPASS TO BODY OR PROPERTY
CAUSES IMMEDIATE HARM WHICH CANNOT BE WILLED AWAY.


AND SO OF COURSE THE LATTER IS THE WORSE !!


AND SO 100% OF HUMAN SUFFERING IS CAUSED
BY PEOPLE TRESPASSING AGAINST THE BODY AND PROPERTY OF OTHER PEOPLE AND
BY PEOPLE BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF A NATURAL DISASTER AND
BY PEOPLE BEING POOR HUNGRY HOMELESS AND
BY PEOPLE BEING PHYSICALLY SICK AND
BY PEOPLE BEING MENTALLY SICK AND
BY PEOPLE ALLOWING WORDS TO HURT THEM:
"STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES,
BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME."

AS FAR AS HUMAN BEINGS GO !!

1.

OH. WHEN DO YOU INTEND TO START DOING THAT?
SO FAR, ALL I HAVE SEEN IS A BUNCH OF
IMPRACTICAL DELUSIONAL GOBBLEDYGOOK
AND FALSE STATEMENTS.

2.

IF OTHERS WILL CONTINUE TO PASS THIS WAY,
THEN THE FUTURE EXISTS JUST AS MUCH AS THE PRESENT;
IF ALL THERE IS IS THE PRESENT, THEN THERE CAN BE NO FUTURE.

NOW OR THE PRESENT IS ONLY A NANO-SECOND.
THE NEXT NANO-SECOND IS THE FUTURE.
Post by David Thomson
That is, after all, what the Course is; a message about how to awaken, and that was sent to this physical world.
LOL !! THE COURSE MESSAGE IS THAT THE TRUE JESUS OF THE HOLY BIBLE IS
THE FAKE JESUS, AND THE FAKE JESUS OF THE COURSE IS THE TRUE JESUS !!

OR IN OTHER WORDS ALSO, DON'T LOOK TO THE HOLY BIBLE FOR THE TRUTH !!


THAT IS THE DOUBLE-PURPOSE FOR WHICH SATAN POSSESSED HELEN AND
MADE HER SCRIBE THE COURSE.


DAVID AND ALL OTHERS HERE ARE PROOF OF THESE FACTS:
NOT A ONE OF YOU RESPECTS THE HOLY BIBLE AND ITS TRUE JESUS:
IF YOU DID, YOU WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COURSE.


THE HOLY BIBLE JESUS AND
THE COURSE JESUS ARE
THOROUGHLY INCOMPATIBLE.

THE TRUE JESUS CONFIRMED
HELL
SATAN
SIN
FEAR
GUILT
WICKED ANGELS
WICKED SPIRIT-SOULS
ETERNAL DEATH.
