Classes on The ACIM Text:

Hello Course Students around The World!

Our series on the Text of ACIM has been a daunting task, for us and the Course students who participated during the pandemic … not so much because of the amount of material contained in the Text’s 600 plus pages. It is indeed a handful, but working thru the Text of ACIM also brings up and challenges our reluctance and resistance to actually hearing what Jesus is telling us.

As ‘healthy’ egos believing we are bodies (vulnerable to other bodies like people and viruses), we don’t want to be told nothing we see means anything (WB. Les. 1)… and the world, and all the blame we are laying on it is not what we are really upset about. (“There is no world!” from WB Les. 132).

But from Jesus point of view that is good news for all of us, because that means that all the blame and judgments with which we are so indulged and preoccupied… is indeed all made up and unnecessary as the One Innocent Son of God that we still truly are.

 

 

So Jesus walks us gently but thoroughly through the process of letting go of the pain and blame that supports our belief in a separated identity, separate from him and our Father in Heaven. He helps us let those insistent silly beliefs go.

Jesus respects our fear of him and his message, yet he lays down a spiritual roadmap and offers us a way out, a journey out of our chosen misery and seeming isolation… if and when we are ready to take that gentle journey back with him (see Chapter 8: “The Journey Back”).

Example of Text Discussions, Chap. 1 Sec. I

“The 50 Miracle Principles”  :

Overview of Text Chapters:

Preface: written after completion of Course, with the “What It Says”  third section specifically written by Jesus (the first two preface sections are by Helen Schucman herself).

———————-

Chapters 1-4: Basically a conversation between Helen and Jesus (with material edited out personal to Helen & Bill):

Chap. 1: The Meaning of Miracles…Introduction to the main Course themes that will be developed throughout the Text

Chap. 2: Separation & Atonement… Basic metaphysics of Chart (also addresses Helen’s and our own fear and resistance to Jesus & his Course)

Chap. 3: Innocent Perception… Basic definitions of terms used in Course

Chap. 4: Illusions of the Ego… Exploring what ego is and Jesus role in that exploration.

—————

First major shift in writing with Ch. 5, Sec. V (on guilt), from basically a dialogue with Helen in the first four and a half chapters, to Jesus dictating the rest of Text from this point on:

 

Chap. 5: Healing & Wholeness… Exploring who/what is the Holy Spirit & how He helps us with our recognizing and letting go of guilt.

Chap. 6: Lessons of Love… First discussion of anger, Four HS lessons (steps) to return to Heaven.

Chap. 7: Gifts of Kingdom… Heaven & Healing

Chap. 8: Journey Back… “Singing” Jesus

Chap. 9: Acceptance of Atonement… First discussion of forgiveness

Chap.10: Idols of Sickness… on Biblical 1st & 2nd commandments (shortest chap.)

Chap.11: God or Ego… our ‘authority problem’

————-

Next major shift in writing…  with more intense emphasis on process of looking at ego’s made-up insanity:

 

Ch.12: HS Curriculum… realizing the ego’s central teaching: that love is dangerous

Ch.13: Guiltless World.. full blown exposé on our internal unrecognized guilt (longest chap.)

Ch.14: Teaching for Truth… the proverbial ‘calm before the storm’ chapter, before the following three chapters (15-16-17) on special relationships…  Chap. 14 includes sections on two major Course themes: the “What is a Happy Learner” and  “Our Call for Help/ Our Call for Love “

————-

Ch. 15, 16, 17… on Special Relationships

Ch. 18… on Our Dream “Life”

Ch.19… Our Own Four Obstacles to Peace

————

Ch.20, 21, 22… Second “calm before the storm” (with three chapters on Vision, Reason, and Salvation in The Holy Relationship)… before The Laws of Chaos & Specialness (starting in Chap. 23):

———–

Ch.23… (Laws of Chaos) Ken Wapnick calls this the “toughest” chapter in the Text, with very little reprieve in it… how way we methodically deceive ourselves into believing in separation.

Ch. 24… The Goal of Specialness, extended description of the “Substitute for Love” in the fifth Law of Chaos.

———–

Ch. 25-26… Third and final ‘calm’ (a breather), on equal justice for all of God’s one Son, how to move from injustice to real justice (is life really not fair?)… before the last part of the Text.

———–

Ch. 27-28… more on Dreams: the dreaming of the world and its underlying horrific “secret dream” of the wrong mind.

Ch. 29-30… In-depth discussion of the ego’s idols… and and the steps or ‘rules’ on how to move past those idols (the seven rules for decision-making in Ch. 30).

———————–

Ch. 31… The capstone of the Text : all the themes of the Course are brought together, coalescing in this last great movement of the Course’s grand symphony.

Some thought-provoking movies about death and dying and the afterlife:


1) Ghost… the classic with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg


*** 2) Coco…. beautiful animated CGI flick about Day of the Dead 


*** 3) Departures… wonderful Japanese movie about forgiveness and respect 


* 4) Hearts and Souls… funny and insightful with Robert Downey Jr, where 4 dead souls “haunt” him and work out their unresolved issues thru him.


 5) What Dreams May Come… Robin Williams looking for his wife in the afterlife 


* 6) Meet Joe Black… Anthony Hopkins as the dying man and Brad Pitt as “Death,” who has come to get him. 


** 7) Flatliners… unusual movie about a group of med students who take turns taking their lives and bringing each other back, and in so doing learn some powerful forgiveness lessons, with very young Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, and Julia Roberts. 


*** 8) Six Feet Under TV series… one of the best tv series ever! It’s about a family running a funeral home in LA and their many conversations with the dead folks they are working on… 


* 9) All of Me… funny movie about souls inhabiting other bodies after death, with Lily Tomlin (the inhabiter) and Steve Martin (the inhabited) 


10) One for The Angels… another classic: Ed Wynn meets Mr. Death in a 1959 Twilight Zone Show (Season 1, #2) on Netflix…   click here  


*** 11) Collateral Beauty… Ed Norton hires three actors to play Death (H. Mirren), Time, and Love to help his friend Will Smith get past his grieving. (A Tim & Lyn favorite!)


12) The Seventh Seal… Ingmar Bergman at his best, about a knight returning from Crusades and his interactions and conversations and chess game with Death. 


13) Two X-Files Shows…  [1]”Tithonus” (6th Season, Eps. 10) about a photographer who can’t die:    https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B001DCEK96/ref=atv_dp_season_select_s6


* 14)  [2] “How The Ghost Stole Christmas” :(6th Season, Eps. 6)


Ed Asner and Lily Tomlin as two dead souls that haunt Mulder and Scully on Xmas Eve    : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DCEKAU


15) Heaven Can Wait… clever and funny, with Warren Beatty as dead soul mistakenly taken and James Mason as angel-in-charge.


** 16) Sixth Sense… part horror flick/part moving drama about afterlife, with Bruce Willis (nominated for 6 Academy Awards)


* 17) Brand New Testament… Very very quirky movie where God’s daughter releases (on everyone’s cell phone) the date they are going to die…. 


* 18) A Little Bit of Heaven… with Kate Hudson as woman who finds out she is terminally ill.


19) PS I Love You… Wife finds letters (with helpful suggestions for her) from her dying husband to her… after he dies, with Hillary Swank, Gerald Butler, and Kathy Bates.


** 20) Biutiful….Inarritu directs, Bardem stars as the dying man 


*** 21) Amour… touching movie about love between elderly French couple.  It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and was nominated in four other categories: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Director.


** 22 & 23) Dead Man Walking & The Green Mile… two very great movies about death row. 


*** 24) Kodachrome… on Netflix,  movie with Ed Harris as disgruntled dying parent on road trip with his estranged son. 


25) Whose Life Is It Anyway?… Richard Dreyfus as man who fights for his right to die.




(The above starred *** shows are particularly recommended!)
