“Our Search for Meaning & Purpose,” August 16th Seminar @ RMMC

August 11, 2017

“Our Search for Meaning and Purpose”

Wed., August 16, 2017, 11am-5pm

Live Video Streaming Presentation from the Temecula Foundation for ACIM @

Rocky Mountain Miracle Center in Denver

(Not recommended for folks new to the Course, click here for programs suggested for beginners.)

 

Faculty: Dr. Rosemarie LoSasso and Dr. Jeffrey Seibert

Time: 11 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. (Mountain Time)

It seems to be the great preoccupation of the world to find what will give our lives meaning and purpose. And the search may lead down many different paths, among them: mundane achievements, such as money, power and fame; interpersonal relationships, including family and friends; caring roles aimed at helping others and making the world a better place; and spiritual pursuits, such as becoming a student (and teacher) of A Course in Miracles. And yet despite the seeming differences among all of them, from the perspective of the Course, they share one thing in common: they are all meaningless. For all seek to establish meaning and purpose in special relationships, our substitutes for God, through the activity of the body, which nicely serves the ego’s purpose of keeping the Son of God mindless.

This program will explore what the Course asserts are the only two purposes our lives can serve: reinforcing the dream through judgment and specialness, or awakening from it through the miracle and forgiveness, only one of which is meaningful, for it shifts our focus from the body to the mind. And we will examine the subtle ways in which the ego attempts to convince us that meaning and purpose can still be found in the world of dreams, telling us that seeking to find meaning in awakening from the dream is simply not enough to get us through our day.

 

Come watch with us together, at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center, the live streaming of this insightful one day seminar on the search for truth from the Course’s perspective, with two great Course teachers from the FACIM in California.

Arrogance vs Humility, Part One

July 20, 2017

(By Tim Wise)

How do we see ourselves?

What does arrogance look like?

What does humility look like?

How does God see us?

As I was planning to do a Thursday Chat about arrogance and humility, I did what I do on any topic and started with Webster. On arrogance, the dictionary definition is “being full of excessive and overbearing pride.”

With humility, Webster sounds like the Course: “having or expressing a sense of selflessness.” Really, that’s what it says. That’s the #1 definition that’s used the most in everyday English for being humble… letting go of our sense of ‘lower-case’ self.

A couple of my own ideas about arrogance, for me anyway… include a few things:

1) It has a puffed-up unwarranted overkill about it, like a balloon full of hot air.

2) Arrogance is not very likable, if not mostly distasteful. My sense is even the arrogant don’t like it in others.

3) Finally, arrogance needs an audience. It demands an internal belief that others are acknowledging the arrogant’s superiority, whether it’s true others are really noticing or not.

For humility, I would agree with Webster on an attitude of selflessness. I would also add the Course’s principle that the truly humble focus on shared interests in the mind, and let go of their investments in the seeming external differences.

The Course’s Take on Arrogance and Humility:

The Course actually uses the words arrogance/arrogant 55 times, and humility/humble over forty. Whenever arrogance is spoken about in the Course, it is always in relationship to its opposite, humility. The two themes are covered for the most part in Lessons #61, 152, and 186. “True humility” is especially described as the top of the ladder of prayer, in the Song of Prayer Pamphlet, p. 8:

Prayer (defined in the Pamphlet as not supplication to the Holy Spirit for specifics, but as a state of communion with the HS) is the way to true humility… and true humility will come at last to grace the mind that thought it was alone and stood against the world… Its selflessness is Self… Humility has come to teach you how to understand your glory as God’s Son, and recognize the arrogance of sin.

(Excerpts from Song of Prayer p. 8)

A Course in Miracles - combined volume - hardbound - English

Some Course thoughts from Les.#61…

“I am the light of the world.”

Who is the light of the world except God’s Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth about yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, of arrogance, or of self-deception. It does not describe the self-concept you have made. It does not refer to any of the characteristics with which you have endowed your idols. It refers to you as you were created by God. It simply states the truth. 

To the ego, today’s idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does not understand humility, mistaking it for self-debasement. Humility consists of accepting your role in salvation and in taking no other. It is not humility to insist you cannot be the light of the world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert this function cannot be for you, and arrogance is always of the ego.

True humility requires that you accept today’s idea because it is God’s Voice which tells you it is true. This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on earth. It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be saved, and an acknowledgment of the power that is given you to save others.

( WB, Les 61, p. 102, par.1-3)

Arrogance and humility are simply about how we see ourselves… we either are “the light of the world” we perceive, or we’re not. Our identification as separated egos insist on the latter. We believe we have done the impossible (a great definition of arrogance), and separated from our Father in Heaven. Now we believe we are these inflated balloons full of hot air (bodies), that will eventually deflate (die). How silly is that!

 

Of course, our ego would like to run in its own direction, relentlessly maintaining belief in separation. It would use all the above Course statements its own way, especially “the power that is given you (us) to save others.” The ego would make it all about separate bodies saving other separate bodies, especially my body/personality saving yours. However that power to save (i.e. wake up from the dream of  separation) is never, ever, played out in the world behaviorally, or by the separated us at all.

Whatever happens in the world is always a mirror reflection of two (and only two) chosen thoughts or chosen teachers in the mind, the ego or Holy Spirit…  If we are choosing the inner ego voice of  belief in separation in our minds, whether we act like Crusader Rabbits (a cartoon from the 1950’s) saving anyone or everyone in the world, it will always be a refection of that teacher in our minds.

Whenever our behavior is reflecting an inner ego choice, any worldly act of kindness/salvation cannot help but be an act of arrogance! Full of hot air and blown-up pride. It typically manifests as… “I am Holier than tho, and I will save you, the lesser.”

These ego-based “kind” actions certainly have the ring of the three ideas above about arrogance:

  • It’s puffed-up and overblown.
  • It’s usually not wanted or liked or even appreciated, and if so… only temporarily, and then later resented.
  • And it’s believed by the ‘do-gooder’ that he’s admired for it, or at least should be.

It doesn’t mean we should not help out in any situation. The Course is only saying what really matters is which internal teacher am I doing ‘the helping’ with…

Arrogance vs Humility, Part Two

July 19, 2017

So how do we know, in any given moment, which teacher we are internally choosing?

How do we know if our seeming act of kindness is genuine or not?

 Does pain seem real to us in the situation? 

How do we feel?

How can you know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven (HS) or the way to hell (the ego)? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is peace in your awareness?

Are you certain which way you go? And are you sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask then your Friend (HS) to join with you, and give you certainty of where you go.

(Text Ch. 23, p.494, par.22)

 

How can you tell when you are seeing wrong, or someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the (my) perception? If it does, be sure the (my) lesson is not learned.

And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in the (my) mind that sees the pain through eyes the mind directs. 

(WB Les. 193, par.7)

Over and over the Course tells us that the way we save the world is by realizing that we and the world are already saved. The Course’s Introduction to the Text resounds throughout the entire Course: 

The Course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim at removing the blocks to the (our) awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance.

(Text p. 1)

 

In other words we are already saved, and pretending we’re not. Our innocence as God’s one Son is still intact. But we distract ourselves from that true identity with our finger pointing: “look at what you did to me!”

As the above Lesson# 193 says, “there remains an unforgiveness hiding in our minds”… hiding from us. The bottom line unforgiveness is always hanging onto the guilt for our supposed disconnection from God in our minds… which never really happened. We don’t really want to admit that, much less let it go. And we use all our projected wordly resentments and blames to cover that awareness over in ourselves and stay preoccupied elsewhere.

It’s the ongoing ego game of self deception. You may know the recurring line in the R.E.M. song “Bang and Blame.” Its lyrics keep repeating the phrase “bang, bang… blame, blame… so let it go.” We constantly target and shoot (bang) at each other with our judgements (blame), to stay distracted from our own made-up internal incrimination.

 

Every addict/alcoholic in recovery knows one of the first things they have to do is look… look at and initially admit that they are addicts (in the Course, the bottom-line ‘addiction’ is to separation). Without the addiction they believe they will die, even though the addiction is killing them. Same with us: without separation we secretly made ourselves believe we’ll die.

And by themselves without help, addicts can’t stop. With the Course, it’s the Holy Spirit who helps, and without Him we can’t stop our judging.

Underneath that understanding, recovering addicts begin to realize they’re tenaciously clinging to, and nursing, their resentments or unforgivenesses, to maintain and justify their addiction.

Similarly, what is preventing us then, in this very second, from feeling saved, or causing us to experience anything less than real peace? There is always a judgement, an unforgiveness, we are holding onto. And we have to convince ourselves and others, that judgement is justified. It is those judgements that block our awareness of who we truly are, “the awareness of love’s presence.” We and our brothers are love, and come from love, and will always be love.

So no matter how right we think we are about our conscious judgements… The only way to see past them is to acknowledge them, how awful and deep they do run. All of our conscious judgements are simply a projection of our own inner guilt for pushing Jesus away in our minds. So, to stop pushing him out of our awareness, ask  Jesus or the Holy Spirit for help to let those judgements go, especially the underlying idea that we even could push God away in the first place. We then begin to have an experience beyond those judgements of others and ourselves to our true reality.

“I am never upset for the reason I think.”: 

This idea can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you believe is the cause of your upset, using the description of the feeling in whatever term seems accurate to you. The upset may seem to be fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as different. This is not true. 

(WB Les#5, par.1)

A restatement of Lesson #5 could easily have said… “What if I’m never judging for the reason I think?”  

Like car maintenance plans, what if my judgements are simply a separation maintenance program… and that in my arrogance, I’m in total denial about what is really going on. I’m just making up reasons to blame and point fingers, even tho in the world those judgements may seem totally justified. However justified or not in worldly terms, what if all that is just a smokescreen for what’s really happening?

 

If all that drama is based on not who and what we truly are, what do judgements about someone else’s behavior or my own have to do with the real me or the real you! They simply keep me stuck in believing you and I are these separate vulnerable things, at the mercy of whichever way the wind blows, disconnected from our true reality.

So the Holy Spirit and Jesus ask us to try this:

Where concepts of the self have been laid by is truth revealed exactly as it is. When every concept has been raised to doubt and question, and been recognized as made on no assumptions that would stand the light, then is the truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no statement that the world (and all of us) is more afraid to hear than this:

I do not know the thing I am,

and therefore do not know what I am doing,

where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself.

Yet in this learning is salvation born. And What you are will tell you of Itself.

(Text Chap.31, p. 660, par. 17)

Jesus says… my brothers, the willingness to ask for my help to see and experience yourselves the way I see you is true humility. Anything less is simply silly arrogance.

Celebrating The First 10 Years of School for A Course in Miracles

July 17, 2017

EXTENDING THE MESSAGE OF

“PEACE THROUGH FORGIVENESS”

 

Hello, Friends of A Course in Miracles:

Our School for A Course in Miracles was founded in 2007 as School of Reason. The name was later changed to School for A Course in Miracles as it more accurately expresses what we are about. The school is the teaching order of the Ark of Peace, a 501(c)3 non-profit, established in 1990 for the purpose of sharing the Course’s teachings of “peace through forgiveness”.

 

Here are some of the accomplishments in our first 10 years.

  • An outstanding website www.sfacim.org. As you visit it you will see a beautiful, well-organized site, filled with extensive written, audio and video materials on the Course. Updated daily, you can always find current events and classes.
  • 100’s of classes, numerous workshops and retreats, and five 6-month long Course Immersions in the study and application of Course principles.
  • A prolific Ken Wapnick Library, which has provided local Denver Course students with thousands of hours of listening to renown scholar Dr. Kenneth Wapnick as he illuminates the teachings of ACIM.
  • Weekly on-line classes offered through our new technology – Zoom Online Classrooms.
  • Mentoring sessions – a choice of 30 or 60 minutes – for those times when you feel stuck and can’t see a way out.
  • New technology that is expanding our access to students anywhere in the world. Course Immersion 2017 was attended by students in-person and online in Colorado, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The good news is that the technology has not impaired but broadened our School’s teaching/learning process.
  • The transformation of students into teachers of God, defined by the Course as those who understand and demonstrate the practice of forgiveness and share Jesus’ aim of healing the mind.
  • Four faculty members with over 120 years of combined education and application of Course teachings illuminated by thousands of hours studying with Course scholar, Kenneth Wapnick, Phd. Our teaching is consistent, focused and simple, imbued with certainty and conviction that it works. The benefits to students is accelerated learning and experience.

 

 

 

 

It appears to be a good time for us to think about extending the message of A Course in Miracles. The message is very simple: “God’s Son is guiltless.” To learn and experience the truth of this statement we must teach (demonstrate) it. And to teach it we must learn to forgive. Forgiveness is the way to peace.

From Jesus and his Course, and from Ken Wapnick (scholar, teacher and true helper) and his teachings on the Course, the facilitators of SFACIM have received an outstanding education. Now we are being nudged to expand our reach and make this same education more available to earnest students wherever they may be. Coincidentally, there is nothing we as Course facilitators would rather do than carry this message.

Moving forward, we want to build a firmer financial foundation on which to operate Jesus’ and Ken’s, yours and ours, and ultimately everyone’s school. We hope to move forward with the assurance that we can do so with minimum financial concern. Furthermore, we want there to be champions of the idea of “peace through forgiveness” in this world for as long as it is needed.

As a student, or someone who has been affected by A Course in Miracles, perhaps we speak for you as well. If so please join, help, or support the School for ACIM in any way you feel moved.

How You Can Help School for A Course in Miracles Grow…

July 16, 2017

 

We have come to a turning point in the road and we are reaching out to Course students to help us sustain School for A Course in Miracles financially and expand our reach with more classes and programs both online and in-person.

This expansion calls for new technology expenditures in order to improve the quality of our online education. The equipment we have purchased (microphones, cameras, wires, etc.) is good, but the quality needed for better professional presentations is available and ever evolving.

One of the best ways you can help is through a monthly automatic donation of any amount. With your steady monthly contributions supplementing the School’s income from classes, workshops, and retreats, the School would be in a better position to project an annual budget from which to improve the quality of the SFACIM’s offerings and support its longevity.

Of course any monthly pledge of any amount, large or small, is extremely helpful and appreciated.

 All donations are tax deductible with the School’s status as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Is It Your Time? … A Letter from The Director:

July 16, 2017

School for A Course in Miracles - logo

Welcome to the website for  School for A Course in Miracles, a school dedicated to helping students understand and apply the teachings of A Course in Miracles. 

Changing the way in which we see is the aim of A Course in Miracles. Most of humanity does not yet believe there is another way to look at the world that brings peace.  Peace is an internal affair that has nothing to do with external circumstances. Only by transforming the one looking is that change possible.

A student must first decide if he or she wants to become a learner in this way—a way that offers no particular gains to the personal self. Peace of mind is an effect of the transcendence of the personal by shifting from self interests to shared interests. 

If you feel called to make this kind of change you won’t be able to stop your Self from following that call. It is as if an internal alarm clock has gone off and it’s time to wake up.  Often it goes off when you become disillusioned with your own ability to find lasting happiness.

“The invitation”, that calling to venture beyond a self-centered point of view, goes on all the time. You choose when you are ready to hear it. “Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what to take at a given time.”

The curriculum is the miracle. “It is a required course”.  What is meant by required is that everyone must eventually turn within to learn how to change their mind. 

The Course undoes the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence. The Lessons, all three-hundred and sixty five, do the work in a realm that you may not even be aware of, a non-place the Course calls the mind. You learn how not to interfere with, or block, your awareness of your true self.

In 2007, a small enthusiastic group of teachers/learners of the Course joined together to start a school for serious students who wanted to accelerate their learning. As a group, we had collectively logged well over 100 years of devotion to the practice of forgiveness. At that time we called ourselves the School of Reason. The name was later changed to School for A Course in Miracles.

As the Director of the School, I would like to share a word about the faculty. Each of the teachers has pursued their calling vigilantly, sometimes for more than forty years. They have direct experience of the miracle that the required course promises so they can’t be fooled by the substitutes the personal self likes to claim.  They know what it takes to sincerely practice forgiveness and to receive the benefits of peace. They know how to help you make the best use of time.

If you are undecided about your spiritual goal and whether the SFACIM might help you attain it, you may find it valuable to attend a regularly scheduled Introduction to A Course in Miracles sponsored by the School.   You will find these events and classes posted on our website. 

We are here only to be truly helpful.

Sincerely and with love,

Lyn Corona

Milwaukee Light of Grace Fundraiser: ACIM Intensive, Sept. 29-30-Oct. 1, 2017, Schedule Posted

July 2, 2017

Come Support the Milwaukee Light of Grace Weekend Fundraiser in September, and Experience a 3 Day A Course in Miracles Intensive !

 

“One Problem, One Solution”

In Alice in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat told Alice   “.. you must be crazy, you think you’re here.”

Everything that we seem to deal with “here,” down this rabbit hole of time and space… Sex, money, food, shelter…  Family stuff and all our relationships…Situations and things that seem to cause issues in our lives, at times downright problems, and sometimes resulting in obsessions and addictions…

 

Come visit with us at the Light of Grace Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for an insightful weekend Intensive looking at what “A Course in Miracles” defines as the root of all our problems… seeming separation from God and our true Self in Heaven.

Is it possible that all our difficulties are the result or reflection of the one and only true problem that we have, which the Course says is in our mind… and even better,  that that problem has already been solved ??

“One problem, one solution…”

Come explore with us on Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, the miraculous process of the Course’s forgiveness, that restores our awareness back to the mind and the real nature of our one and only problem, and its one and only solution.
