The New Reformation

Good try, thank you Steven. I look at it like this - there is the big "R" Reality which is the one beyond this world, and there is the little "r" reality which is our body and right here in front of us. To be here now and to be in Oneness, we have to accept both. It is a paradox - to get to Reality (Spirit/Love (egoless) - permanent/infinite), we have to be here now in reality (our impermanet/finite body/ego).

"Your passage through time and space is not at random. You cannot but be in the right place at the right time." W,65

I am looking forward to hearing other viewpoints, and I am sure there is the perfect verse in ACIM to describe this paradox.
In the meantime, we can be comforted by this: "There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides. W,76 &
"Nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can give you peace." w, 118

Carole,

Hard concept to really get, but here goes my understanding from ACIM. Living the idea that one is not a body is not a shift one makes while still being of this world. The Course says there is only one decision a person has to make, and that is to ask to see the real world. The world we see is not the real world. What it seems most of us try to do is 'heal' this world. This world must be looked past, so we can see the real world. We can't heal one spot in this world without healing the entire world. But, believing we are of this world prevents us from healing because this world, as it is, can't be healed. We can look past it and see the real world, but we can't fix this one bit by bit. Which is what we try to do.

I haven't read or listened to my Course in Miracles in years. I wanted to share my experience the first time I listened to my tape. My car filled with the scent of Roses. It was truly a miracle. Thanks for starting this group - you have woken my
sleeping interest and I'm going to find my tape and book. Joanne

Your passage through time and space is
not at random. You cannot but be in
the right place at the right time.

It is sure that those who hold grievances
will suffer guilt, as it certain that those
who forgive will find peace.

On this special day...09/09/09 I join with my sisters here in this community as well as within my heart and soul with feelings and thoughts of peace. With that energy, let us spread the love across the world as mothers do for their children and ask that it multiplies a million fold through the hearts and minds of all our sisters and brothers TODAY in an instant that will change the mind of the world to accept only love. I ask that and have faith that it shall be.

I appreciate Francois Ward's bringing this important group, and even though I disagreed with him above - D Patrick Miller in his book Understanding A Course in Miracles would agree with Francois: A Course in Miracles. Influencing millions of people worldwide, the Course-whose inner message of forgiveness (kudos to Francois) helps people release fear and find greater love in their lives... Teach Only Love, ron
