The Song of Prayer Pamphlet,
Four Week Sunday Gathering Series
Starting Aug. 20th @ RMMC,
11am-noon:
Soon after the Course itself was originally published, this pamphlet was dictated by Jesus to help explain and correct the errors that Course students were already making. Many, if not most, students believed forgiveness and prayer were about bodies and bodies’ behavior.
They had missed the major point that forgiveness was in the mind and took place at that level of experience. Whatever was happening at the level of form in the world was simply a reflection of what was already happening in the mind. That experience in form and behavior then becomes a doorway back, with the Holy Spirit’s help, to the real issue in the mind (not the body’s brain), of seeming separation from our Father, our Source.
ACIM Workbook Lessons # 79-80 specifically point out this understanding of the Course’s forgiveness. Jesus repeats it there and throughout the entire ACIM… There is only one problem, the belief in separation in the mind. There is only one solution, the Atonement, or the letting go of the belief in separation. The Song of Prayer came along to reiterate and emphasize those same ideas in its three brief sections on Prayer, Forgiveness, and Healing. It describes what each are, and as importantly what they are not.
At the end of summer on four consecutive Sunday Gatherings, we will go over the Song of Prayer in its entirety and probe its wonderful insights and practical application of the Atonement principle in prayer, forgiveness and healing of the mind. Then we will see how that process is reflected in our daily experience in the world.
All are welcome, both beginning and ongoing students. The entire series is recommended for a comprehensive look at this amazing pamphlet, but each individual Sunday will have something insightful and helpful for all.
(A donation basket is passed at the end of each Sunday Gathering, and all proceeds go to the support and continuation of the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center as a place to study and share the blessings of A Course in Miracles.)
