School for A Course In Miracles

Topic: Gratitude for the recognition that we have only one problem: our decision to believe the ego’s thought system.

Topic: Who can save unless he sees illusions and identifies them as what they are? Like the ostrich that buries his head in the sand when danger approaches, the ego teaches us not to look at illusions as a way of keeping them.

Topic: What would we not give for peace? What would I hold onto that I would prefer to the end of conflict in my mind? (Special relationships)

Topic: The ego’s plan for salvation is to keep us fixated on the world and the body in order to protect guilt in the mind. We first must learn we have a mind before we can return to it and change our teacher to the Holy Spirit.

Topic: God did not give us our individuality. We took it, and now we must look at the consequences of our guilt over stealing it and then change our minds about it.

Topic: The ego has no power unless we give it.

Synopsis: Freud’s work in uncovering and analyzing the ego provided a foundation for the Course’s shortcut – undoing instead of analyzing the ego. Jesus knew the ego was a phantom that exists only by our belief in it; Freud didn’t. A personal psychology became a spiritual psychology with Jesus.

Topic: Activating the decision-making mind. “Life is in the mind, and of the mind.”

Topic: It is impossible to see two worlds.

Topic: Lyn’s History with A Course in Miracles; the Course as a radical non-dual teaching.
