“Nothing real can be threatened
Nothing unreal exists
Herein lies the peace of God”
I noticed recently that there is little or no mention of “A Course in Miracles” here, which is surprising given that most of us here will either have a copy, have read it, or at least be aware of its message.
To me, it’s the forerunner of other spiritual guidance – a bit like Friends Reunited being the platform for Facebook maybe.
The course itself is difficult to follow when living life on a treadmill in the rate race, as most of us are, and when I first read through the lessons many years ago they meant little or nothing to me. But now, they mean a whole lot more and I see the potential in the course. It won’t suit everybody, but here are the headings of the first 11 (very powerful) lessons. There are 220 in all:
Lesson 1 Nothing I see means anything
Lesson 2 I have given everything I see the meaning it has for me
Lesson 3 I do not understand anything I see
Lesson 4 These thoughts do not mean anything
Lesson 5 I am never upset for the reason I think
Lesson 6 I am upset because I see something that is not there
Lesson 7 I see only the past
Lesson 8 My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts
Lesson 9 I see nothing as it is now
Lesson 10 My thoughts do not mean anything
Lesson 11 My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world
Unlike a lot of spiritual guidance, this course is free and available online and you will find much of interest there. Well worth a visit anyway
