Volume 22 Number 1 March 2011 “AND WHEN YOU ARE DESIROUS TO BE BLESSED, I’LL BLESSING BEG OF YOU.” To Give Is to Receive Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D. Parallel passages from Hamlet and A Course in Miracles provide the framework for this article on giving and receiving. In the dramatic scene between Hamlet and Gertrude, where our Danish prince confronts his mother with her sins and apparent complicity in his father’s murder, Hamlet says these words to the queen: “And when you are desirous to be blessed, I’ll blessing beg of you” (III,iv). In other words, if you want a blessing from me, you must first bless me; if you want to receive, give. Although one would never characterize Hamlet’s visit with his mother as benevolent (he himself says, “I must be cruel, only to be kind”), as with so many of the Bard’s verses, his words have a healing significance that foreshadows by almost four centuries the teachings of A Course in Miracles. Thus, for example, we read from the text: Give faith to your brother, for faith and hope and mercy are yours to give. Into the hands that give, the gift is given. Look on your brother, and see in him the gift of God you would receive (T-19.IV-D.17:1-3; italics mine). To your tired eyes I [Jesus] bring a vision of a different world.… Yet this a vision is which you must share with everyone you see, for otherwise you will behold it not. To give this gift is how to make it yours (T-31. VIII.8:4-6; italics mine).

We all need to know we are forgiven or blessed, as we share the same guilt that made the world (T-13.in.2:2) and our separated self, feeling condemned and deserving of punishment. Yet the only way we can undo our guilt is to teach the lesson of shared purpose by forgiving others. While this may seem to be counter-intuitive—after all, we are the ones in need—this principle rests upon a central theoretical premise of A Course in Miracles: our unconscious guilt would be forever inaccessible were it not for projecting our self-unforgiveness (guilt) onto others,

which allows us to recognize the judgments we make on another as projections. This enables us to be aware of what we need to forgive in ourselves, for the way we learn that the gifts of vision and salvation are ours is to let them extend through us. Since we do not know we are minds, the gift of forgiveness that is in the mind cannot be recognized until it is extended (T-21.in.2) in what can be thought of as right-minded projection. This understanding of giving, based on our shared abundance as God’s creation, is the opposite of the ego’s giving to get that is centered on a self-perception of scarcity and lack. We begin our article proper by lifting the veil of specialness that conceals the world’s insane nature of giving. Giving to Get: The Principle of Differences One of the most salient characteristics of the ego thought system when it comes to giving is that it does not give to receive, but only to take. This fundamental ego principle, borrowing the language of The Song of Prayer, can be termed giving-to-destroy (S-2.II). The ego cannot help itself, nor can we who choose to identify with it, for once we believe in a separated self, the belief in scarcity or lack is inevitable. This sets into motion a veritable chain reaction of cascading and projected guilt, culminating in our special relationships. In these insidious bargains with reality, each a “pictorial representation” (W-pI.23.3:2) of our original bargain with God, giving always comes with a price to pay, and hopefully by the object to be cannibalized and taken from, not ourselves. The ego, of course, would prefer to take what it wants without having to give up anything, but since this is not usually possible here, it devises its specialness tactics of giving, but only to get. It is enraged by the unfairness of such iniquity (always forgetting its own hatred) that demands that it pay for what it feels was properly its own. Murder, which would be the only “sane” reaction to the

would prefer to accomplish directly: killing to get. It must resort to seduction and subterfuge to acquire the special something it lusts for. The ego’s insidious plots form the manger of its shibboleth of giving to get, a thin veil that seeks to conceal its underlying thought of murder. As Jesus reminds us: “What is not love is murder” (T-23. IV.1:10). And who in their right minds could ever think that placing one’s special needs over the needs of others, demanding sacrifice to achieve peace, were loving? Since we are born into this world with a sense of lack that embodies the scarcity principle—no one knowing abundance would ever come into this desert of despair— our insane relationships are not only unavoidable, but are the norm. This bargaining-to-get is expected if not demanded, as anyone knows who has ever shopped in Italy, the home of the quintessential bargaining tourist. Yet while bargaining can be fun in La Bella Italia, if not taken too seriously, it is anything but fun once the ego has gotten its vicious hands on it. Nothing less than survival of the ego species is at stake, for without its specialness—its “precious…priceless pearl…[its] treasure” (T-23.II.11:2) —the individual self that is the ego cannot long exist. Our profound need to survive impels us to embark on this endless and unrewarding chain of special bargainings (T-15.VII.4:6), wherein we continually seek for what will make us complete, whole, and happy, at least according to the ego’s tenets of greed. Because we seek such treasures, we shall surely find them, conquering another and another and yet another in order to grasp the satisfaction our neediness demands. All the while, we give as little as possible for the treasures we covet. As was briefly stated above, we feel that this most unfair situation was brought about by others taking what is really ours, establishing the terrible condition of having to bargain, if not sacrifice for what belongs to us. Consequently, we cannot avoid a life of bitterness. After all, “we had innocence and love first!” we scream, “and then they were taken from us.” Often in the world in which we live, wherein there are rules, laws, and conventions for everything, such feelings are more than justified. Indeed, in some circles, not to have them would seem symptomatic of repressive psychopathology. Yet, the truth of the matter is that the ego’s sturm und drang that surrounds its dramas of specialness can be easily reduced to one single error: our having chosen the wrong guide: the teacher of lack, scarcity, and specialness, instead of the Teacher of abundance, wholeness, and love. Because of this underlying cause of our distress, Jesus gently rebukes all who feel justified in their bitter feelings of neglect and unfairness: “Beware of the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated” (T-26.X.4:1). Here is why:

wrongness so offensive to us, has to be displaced onto the psychological murder of besting the other in the bargains of specialness that appear to be loving and caring: ... every relationship the ego makes is based on the idea that by sacrificing itself, it becomes bigger.… [This] is actually the root of its bitter resentment. For it would prefer to attack directly, and avoid delaying what it really wants. Yet the ego…recognizes that no one could interpret direct attack as love (T-15.VII.6:1-4).

Following this logic, the ego gives as little as possible and gets as much as possible in return. This principle, clearly articulated in A Course in Miracles, smacks of the almost universal practice of capitalism since the time of Adam Smith, wherein the needs of one easily outweigh the needs of another, and the common good of shared interests is subverted to the good of the individual. This haggling with the truth of our inherent oneness and abundance is summarized in the following combined passages from the text: If paying is equated with getting, you will set the price low but demand a high return.… “Giving to get” is an inescapable law of the ego, which always evaluates itself in relation to other egos. It is therefore continually preoccupied with the belief in scarcity that gave rise to it (T-9.II.10:1; T-4.II.6:5-6).

Relationships to the ego are really battlegrounds, in which personal need satisfaction is the goal, demanding that we triumph over others and seize the cherished strength from the defeated selves of our prey (T-16. V.11:3-5). However, “There are no triumphs of love” (T-16.IV.5:1), which means that striking a bargain with our special partners is, once again, re-enacting the original “bargain” we believe we achieved when we got what we wanted from God, at His expense: The special relationship must be recognized for what it is; a senseless ritual in which strength is extracted from the death of God, and invested in His killer…(T-16. V.12:4).

We can easily see from this dynamic of lack, projection, hate, and murder that in the insanity of the ego thought system, giving is associated with loss or sacrifice. The ego’s fourth law of chaos comes into play here: This seeming law is the belief you have what you have taken. By this, another’s loss becomes your gain… (T-23.II.9:3-4).

If I have something, then I must have taken it; if others have what I lack, they must have taken it—from me! I have lost what was rightfully mine (ultimately my innocence) and this justifies my wresting it back in righteous wrath (T-23.II.11:2). Yet, again, the ego cannot do what it 2

To Give Is to Receive (continued) any more than God will, but I must wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself.… I will come in response to a single unequivocal call (T-4.III.7:5,8,10).

We have been given everything. If we refuse to recognize it, we are not entitled therefore to our bitterness, and to a self-perception which regards us in a place of merciless pursuit, where we are badgered ceaselessly…(W-pI.195.9:2-3).

We must remember that to say “yes” to Jesus and his thought system in that single unequivocal call means to look at the ego’s scraps of fear and say “no” to it (T-21. VII.12:4). This is the “activity” of the holy instant, when our decision-making minds choose Jesus as our teacher instead of the ego, abundance over lack, and Atonement in place of separation. There is no one in this world, regardless of his or her religious persuasion, or lack of it, that does not yearn to know that the sins buried deep within the mind are forgiven. This is the fervent prayer of everyone who walks the earth, with no hope of even having hope. We are like the person standing beneath the cross in Helen Schucman’s painfully evocative poem, “The Wayside Cross,” feeling sorry for ourselves over our miserable lot in life:

To restate this in terms of our theme, we are not entitled to the bitterness of never having received enough, because we can always give a blessing, therefore receiving one. The issue reverts to the mind’s decision between the ego and Jesus as its mentor, and their mutually exclusive thought systems of differences and sameness. This distinction is succinctly summarized in these lines: The ego.…is always willing to strike a bargain, but it cannot understand that to be like another means that no bargains are possible (T-7.I.4:1-3; italics mine).

“To be like another” means to be the same as the other. Giving and receiving are perceived as different only because we believe that God’s Sons are different. Once again, in the world of bodies we all are quite different from each other, but above the battleground (T-23.IV) Jesus patiently waits for us in our right minds, the home of forgiveness in which we are under no laws but God’s (W-pI.76). Here in this place of rest, our kind and loving teacher gently exposes what is behind the ego’s differentiating thought system of giving to get, contrasting it with his teachings that giving and receiving are the same.

I tarry by the wayside. Homeless I Return each evening to an empty house But to awaken and return each day, To wait again in silence and despair.… The cup from which I drink is empty. And The crumbs allotted me will not sustain My little life but shortly. I retain A hope so frail it stifles in the dust Of waiting on an ancient way that seems To lead to nowhere.… (The Gifts of God, p. 50)

Giving to Receive: The Principle of Sameness The first of the Holy Spirit’s three lessons reads:

As we are told in Lesson 182, after a content-similar description of our experiences of alienation and exile: “No one but knows whereof we speak” (W-pI.182.2:1). This place, this “dry and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures come to die” (W-pII.13.5:1) is the “living” testament that the ego has successfully triumphed over truth, that the crucifixion of God’s Son is the reality, while his awakening from the dream of death (resurrection) is merely the empty fantasy of illusion. In fact, our sojourns here as bodies cannot help but lead to the nowhere of existence, barely sustained by crumbs of special love, stolen from the equally barren body of another, a path winding its inexorable way to death. Since the pain of such hopeless despair is beyond our capacity to tolerate, we keep it hidden behind the walls of specialness, protected still further by the insane bargains with truth that we believe will enable us to have, let alone enjoy, what we steal and kill for. We are all in pursuit of the one certain and differentiating trait in another that will work; if only for an instant of need gratification. And then we awake in the morning to continue our lives of Sisyphuslike futility, pushing the rock of specialness to the top of our mountains of neediness, only to have it fall to the

Egos do join together in temporary allegiance, but always for what each one can get separately. The Holy Spirit communicates only what each one can give to all.… His teaching begins with the lesson: To have, give all to all (T-6.V.A.5:9-10,12).

This establishes a situation, dire indeed for all who search for the specialness that is craved with the same intensity found in a drowning person gasping wildly for oxygen. The ego lusts for guilt, which is an inevitable result once others are used to satisfy our driven life of finding guilt in another. Yet guilt over our attacks demands punishment, and so just as inevitably we fear the punishment we secretly know is deserved. “Is this what we want?” Jesus asks throughout his course. Only when we can joyously say “no” to his question can he help us. Early in the text, Jesus reflects his wanting us to recognize the horror of the ego’s thought system, that we may truly decide against it, choosing to look at the ego with open eyes, free from judgment, guilt, and attack: Watch your mind for the scraps of fear, or you will be unable to ask me to do so.… I will never forsake you

ground, there to be pushed up again and again in an otiose effort that is as worthless as it is pointless. To the madness of our prayer to survive yet another day of specialness, wherein we seek shreds of hope and pleasure, Jesus says: “If you would know your prayers are answered, never doubt a Son of God” (T-9.II.4:1). When we are feeling down, depressed, and despairing, the most healing thing we can do for ourselves is to help another. Thoughts and acts of kindness, however small, have the power to move mountains of guilt and hate, helping to break the ego’s cycle of guilt, projection, and attack that so imprisons us. Such kindness reflects the shift from seeing others as different from us to Christ’s vision that recognizes the universal sameness of God’s Son, in truth and illusion. Our eyes to the contrary, we remain alike on the mind level, sharing the same dynamic interplay of wrong mind, right mind, decision maker. Thus is the vicious cycle of scarcity (guilt) and specialness (attack) eroded. Jesus further tells us:

To the world, generosity means “giving away” in the sense of “giving up.” To the teachers of God, it means giving away in order to keep.… The teacher of God is generous out of Self interest. This does not refer, however, to the self of which the world speaks (M-4. VII.1:4-5; 2:1-2).

Despite the ego’s lies that we are a self in lack, we now understand that true generosity means giving what we have. This reinforces the abundance of the Self not only in ourselves but in everyone, for minds are joined and one brother is all brothers (W-pI.161.4:1-2). In this sense, giving can only lead to receiving, for we give but to ourselves. As Lesson 108 says in the workbook: …giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought.… And in this understanding is the base on which all opposites are reconciled, because they are perceived from the same frame of reference which unifies this Thought (W-pI.108.4:1,3).

The apparent differences among the Sonship that divide us, leading to the perception that giving and receiving are not the same, reflect the ontological thought of separation that we all took seriously, consequently giving birth to the ego and its thought system of guilt, punishment, and death. Yet when we give a blessing to another instead of demanding one, that thought is transformed into the one Thought of Christ, reflected here in the thought of Atonement. Our frame of reference shifts from making differences real to that of using our perception of differences to learn that we are all the same. This sameness unites us all by the vision that sees all people as needing to learn salvation’s simple lesson: “What is the same can not be different, and what is one can not have separate parts” (T-25.I.7:7; italics omitted). That single Thought is what contains this joyful truth, and to reprise this happy theme: having, being, giving, and receiving are one. And so our lesson each day—in every relationship, situation, and event—is to see the inherent sameness in all things. Not one can be perceived differently from another if we are to undo our hold on the ego thought system and truly embrace Jesus’ message to us in his course. Indeed, what else could be our heart’s most fervent desire than that we spiritually grow to become like our teacher? Helen’s touching poem “A Jesus Prayer” expresses just this wish that we become the same as he, not to mention recognizing that all God’s seemingly separated Sons are the same. These are the salient lines, addressed to Jesus by the reader and presented here in prose:

Whenever you are not wholly joyous, it is because you have reacted with a lack of love to one of God’s creations (T-5.VII.5:1).

This puts the burden of responsibility—not guilt—firmly back where it belongs: the decision-making mind that alone is responsible for how we think, feel, and behave. How else could it be in a world of illusion that has never left its source in illusion? We remain as God created us: spirit, the home of perfect love and oneness. With Jesus’ love happily by our side, we embrace the shift from giving to get what is not there to giving to receive what we already have. Early in the text, Jesus teaches that having and being are the same, since the love we have is the love that we are. This is the reality of the non-dualistic world of being, in contrast to the dualistic world of existence in which what we have, another lacks. In this profound misperception, God’s Sons are seen as different, and the separate identity that we are is also the separation that we have. However, when the vision of sameness replaces the judgment of different needs and goals, we happily grow into the true perception that giving and receiving are the same. We simply receive the forgiveness we have given, and have given the forgiveness that has already been given to us in the right mind we share with all God’s Sons. In this way we learn to awaken from the dream to the joyous truth that having, being, giving, and receiving are one. Can there be any greater joy in the world of illusion? And if we do not feel joyful, can we in good conscience truly maintain that it is another’s fault? This fourfold equation of having, being, giving, and receiving is the meaning of generosity, one of the ten characteristics of God’s advanced teachers:

What but Your likeness would I want to be?… I am blessed because in them [those You send to me] I see You shining through.… Come, brothers, see how like to Christ am I, and I to you whom He has blessed and

4

enter Heaven alone, but “together, or not at all” (T-19. IV-D.12:8). This wonderful passage helps us see that the total forgiveness of our one special partner is the new perspective within which Jesus asks us to see every relationship:

holds as one with me.… As they [Your brothers] look up let them not look on me, but only You (The Gifts of God, p. 82).

The challenge as we awake each morning is to learn to exclude no one and nothing from our new perception. This need to generalize is the major theme of the early pages of the workbook, as is its counterpart of excluding nothing from our perceptions as we do our daily exercises. Coming at this same idea another way, we learn that to forgive one person fully means we have forgiven all. For example:

Beside you is one who offers you the chalice of Atonement, for the Holy Spirit is in him.… Is this giver of salvation your friend or enemy? Choose which he is, remembering that you will receive of him according to your choice.… Everyone gives as he receives, but he must choose what it will be that he receives. And he will recognize his choice by what he gives, and what is given him. Nor is it given anything in hell or Heaven to interfere with his decision (T-19.IV-D. 13:1,3-4; 20:5-7).

Your brother first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and beyond each one of them there are a thousand more (T-27.V.10:4).

Lesson 158, “Today I learn to give as I receive,” provides the same teaching, the vision of forgiveness:

The final line highlights just how powerful we are within the dream. Indeed, our decision-making mind is more powerful than either thought system it may choose. The ego has power to hurt only because we have invested our power in it. Yet this is true of the Holy Spirit or Jesus as well. Being but symbols of our right-minded thinking, They have no power to help us unless we give it to Them. Citing the famous scriptural passage, Jesus reminds us:

This lesson is not difficult to learn, if you remember in your brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in sin, so must you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ’s vision shine on you, and offer you the peace of God (W-pI.158.10:3-5).

You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear this: All power is given unto you in earth and Heaven. There is nothing that you cannot do (W-pI.191.9:1-2).

However, each brother also offers us another chance to reinforce the ego’s thought system of separation, differentiation, and attack. The choice is ours whether we look through the eyes of judgment or vision. Perception of another reveals to us the mind’s decision, thereby helping us gain access to its decision-making power. Otherwise we can never choose again. One of the major purposes of the workbook’s mind-training program is to have us see each and every day as an opportunity to exercise the mind’s ability to choose differently. Jesus exhorts us to make the choice between Heaven or hell, as he says at the end of the text, to “take your place among the saviors of the world, or…remain in hell, and hold your brothers there” (T-31.VIII.1:5; italics omitted). Furthermore, Lesson 187 explains how if we are to help others we must first help ourselves; giving a blessing is how we know that we are blessed. Yet this blessing must be all-inclusive. Not one person, situation, or event can be excluded from our experience. Only then can the idea of blessing God’s Son include ourselves:

And speaking of the advanced therapist, Jesus says in the pamphlet Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and Practice that he “understands all power in earth and Heaven belongs to him because of who he is” (P-2.VII.6:4). The choice is clear, but it must be clearly seen with a vigilance and diligence that equals our determination to learn this course and return home, for they are intrinsically the same. God’s gift of love is there for our receiving. Will we extend it to others in blessing, or withhold it, thereby cursing both of us? That is the question we need always answer—in all ways, with all people, in all situations. Only we have the power to determine our fate and the gift we shall give and receive: love or fear. Giving and Receiving God’s Gift Helen’s scribed prose poem “The Gifts of God” closes one of its sections with these inspiring words, given by Jesus as a message for his scribe:

Ideas must first belong to you, before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon (W-pI.187.3:1-3; italics mine).

Here is His [God’s] gift, complete and undefiled. It is Himself He gives, and it is this that is the truth in you. How beautiful are you who stand beside me at the gate, and call with me that everyone may come and step aside from time.… Enter with me and let its quietness cover the earth forever.… Father, your Voice has

Similarly, the consummatory climax of our journey, passing through the veil of terror that is the final obstacle to peace, cannot occur unless we recognize that we cannot 5

To Give Is to Receive (continued)

Our concern, therefore, would be only to give God’s gift of love in whatever form would be most helpful to our friend, companion, and savior. This means that the one who is right-minded or sane must give of this ability to the other who has a greater need at the moment. This is articulated in the following passage from the text:

called us home at last: Gone is the dream. Awake, My child, in love (The Gifts of God, pp. 122-23; italics mine).

We have seen how we cannot awaken from the dream unless we bring everyone with us, without exception. God’s gifts fall on the fallow soil of neediness until we recognize there is but one need, which we share with all God’s Sons. Yet it is equally true that in the illusory world of differences, God’s Sons are not alike in terms of their spiritual progress. Some are higher than others in their ascent up the ladder of salvation, despite the ladder’s illusory nature. It was in that spirit that Jesus wrote that he is in no way separate or different from us except in time (T-1.II.4:1). Within the unreal world of time, these “higher” minds are needed to help lift their younger siblings to where they are, teaching them to see differences as transitory, understood now as the means of achieving the end of recognizing the total equality of the Sonship. Karl Marx, the 19th-century German philosopher, set forth an idealistic principle that one day may become the basis for a truly egalitarian society that benefits all people, transforming what has been a failed utopian vision into a reality envisioned by philosophers since the time of Plato and his Republic. Marx wrote that societies should be built on the principle: “From each according to his ability; to each according to his need.” Moving beyond the political movements (the form) that Marxism has fostered in our recent history, not to mention Marx’s own economic frame of reference, we can take this thought (the content) as the foundation for how all relationships should be conducted. This would not only put an end to the blatant inequality that exists among the world’s populations, but in our relationships as well—personal, business, national— undoing the injustice that almost raises to a divine edict the doctrine of differences and judgment. This principle would correct the idea that God’s Sons are unequal, the ego’s first law of chaos (T-23.II.2). It would see instead that we are all equal in our need to awaken from the nightmarish dreams of individuality and specialness.

Whoever is saner at the time the threat is perceived should remember how deep is his indebtedness to the other and how much gratitude is due him, and be glad that he can pay his debt by bringing happiness to both (T-18.V.7:1).

This is reminiscent of the eighth principle of miracles: Miracles are healing because they supply a lack; they are performed by those who temporarily have more for those who temporarily have less (T-1.I.8).

We learn that we have “more,” reflecting the abundance of God’s Son, by giving to those who believe they have “less.” By so doing, our giving enables us to receive what we already have, but had not recognized. Realizing that having, being, giving, and receiving are the same, we allow this unity to extend through us to embrace the Sonship as one. Giving this all-inclusive blessing is our one function, which we now happily accept as the “price” for receiving the blessing that will take us home. We close with this passage from Lesson 187, “I bless the world because I bless myself”: Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it everywhere. We would behold it shining with the grace of God in everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us and offers us His Holiness as ours (W-pI.187.11; italics mine).

EXCERPTS SERIES The current title in this series is “Special Relationships: The Home of Guilt,” from the workshop of October 2001. The discussion focuses on how special relationships originate in, and are sustained by our need to defend against the pain of our guilt coming from the belief that we exist apart from God. The insidious and painful dynamics of specialness are explored as they develop on interpersonal and international levels. The undoing of our guilt through forgiveness is explained in the context of our moving from separate to shared interests.

ACADEMY CLASSES Faculty: Kenneth Wapnick, Rosemarie LoSasso, Loral Reeves, and Jeffrey Seibert Times: 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. A-4 A-4D1

“ONE BROTHER IS ALL BROTHERS” Dates: April 17 – 19 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day. April 17 Fee: $40.00 A-4D2 April 18 Fee: $40.00 A-4D3 April 19

Fee: $40.00

This statement from Lesson 161 in the workbook succinctly reflects the inherent unity of the Sonship, both in truth and in illusion. It is the basis of forgiveness and healing, for it undoes the core ego belief that the separation from our Source is real. When we learn that by forgiving one brother we forgive all, we reinforce the Atonement principle that the separation is a lie, and that the oneness of God’s Son in Heaven, and his sameness on earth are the only truth.

A-5 A-5D1

“A HAWK FROM A HANDSAW”: DISCERNING THE HOLY SPIRIT Dates: May 22 – 24 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day. May 22 Fee: $40.00 A-5D2 May 23 Fee: $40.00 A-5D3 May 24

Fee: $40.00

Hamlet’s famous line that he can tell the difference between a hawk and a handsaw (read: heron) is the inspiration for this class on discerning the difference between the ego and the Holy Spirit. There is no more crucial distinction that a student can make than this, for the ego’s voice can sound so seductively spiritual. Through lecture, discussion, and readings, the class will address how one learns the discernment that leads beyond dualistic choice to our non-dualistic home.

A-6 A-6D1

TRUE SPIRITUALITY: BEING KIND TO ALL Dates: June 12 – 14 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day. June 12 Fee: $40.00 A-6D2 June 13 Fee: $40.00 A-6D3 June 14

Fee: $40.00

Regardless of the many thousand forms of the universal course (M-1.4:1-2), what all true spiritualities have in common is the explicit and implicit message to be kind. If God’s Son is truly guiltless (M-1.3:5), then his innocence must be in all, since the Sonship is one in truth and illusion. This all-inclusiveness must be extended to kindness for “Kindness created me kind” (W-pI.67.2:4). The class will therefore explore the meaning of the loving kindness that embraces all people, in all circumstances, all the time.

A-7 A-7D1

PLEASURE AND PAIN: THE DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD OF DUALITY Dates: July 10 – 12 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day. July 10 Fee: $40.00 A-7D2 July 11 Fee: $40.00 A-7D3 July 12

Fee: $40.00

Making the body real in our perception is the consummation of the ego’s strategy of mindlessness, wherein it preserves its existence by denying the mind, the only power that can extinguish it. Pleasure and pain are therefore the same because they share the single purpose of making true the illusion of separation, as well as its physical embodiment. This, the purpose of anyone who walks the earth, can be undone through forgiveness, the gateway that leads from body to mind, hell to Heaven.

A-8 A-8D1

“THE MIND’S THE THING” Dates: August 21 – 23 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day. August 21 Fee: $40.00 A-8D2 August 22 Fee: $40.00 A-8D3 August 23

Fee: $40.00

Taken from Hamlet’s “The play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king,” the classes will focus on the primacy of the mind in both the ego’s and Holy Spirit’s plans of salvation. To the ego, salvation rests on denying the mind and its power, making the Son of God mindless; to the Holy Spirit, on the other hand, salvation comes through the practice of forgiveness, wherein we “catch” the ego’s strategy and reverse it so that we can return to the mind and choose again.

A-9 A-6D1

THE EGO: “A PUFF OF MADNESS” Dates: September 18 – 20 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day. September 18 Fee: $40.00 A-6D2 September 19 Fee: $40.00 A-6D3 September 20 Fee: $40.00

This phrase from the text aptly depicts the insignificance of the ego and its thought system of madness. Yet it is to this mass of nothingness we go for advice, counsel, and knowledge of reality. Learning not to take the ego seriously is the essence of forgiveness and the return to sanity. This means giving it no power over us, for how can what does not exist affect our minds and our reality as Christ?
