ACIM Quote:

"For relationships, to the ego, mean only that bodies are together. ³It is always this that the ego demands, and it does not object where the mind goes or what it thinks, for this seems unimportant. ⁴As long as the body is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content." (ACIM, T-15.VII.8:2-4)

I. True Empathy

1. To empathize does not mean to join in suffering, for that is what you must refuse to understand. ²That is the ego’s interpretation of empathy, and is always used to form a special relationship in which the suffering is shared.

(ACIM, T-16.I.1:1-2)

Let's Discuss ACIM: Relationship: The Path To Wholeness recorded 2019-06-18

A Course in Miracles tells us that “the Holy Spirit’s temple is not a body, but a relationship   

(T-20.VI.5:1).” You cannot reach Heaven alone because by definition you cannot be “alone” in Heaven; it is a state of perfect union.    The first step along the path to Heaven and wholeness then is a relationship.

In this webinar presentation and Q&A Dr. Bob explores this core ACIM teaching on relationships: special and holy. He reviews the difference between them and why one perpetuates separation and strife while the other leads to joy and joining.

A Course In Miracles (ACIM) is a unique spiritual self-study program designed to awaken us to the truth of our oneness with God and Love.

Bruce Rawles joins Tam and Matt to discuss his "Aha moments" of learning that come with being a longtime ACIM student. Inspiration for the title of this episode comes from a Bill Murray line, "It Just Doesn't Matter" - See clip here: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TogGxzlfhM⁠

ACIM Quote:

"The idea for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in the world you see, because its cause can be changed. ²This change requires, first, that the cause be identified and then let go, so that it can be replaced. ³The first two steps in this process require your cooperation. ⁴The final one does not. "(ACIM, W-23.5:1-4)

At least, you merely look on darkness, and perceive the terrified imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and concepts born of fear. ⁶And what you see is hell, for fear is hell. ⁷All that is given you is for release; the sight, the vision and the inner Guide all lead you out of hell with those you love beside you, and the universe with them. (ACIM, T-31.VII.7:5-7)
