Volume 19 Number 1 March 2008 THE RIGHT MIND: HOME OF CORRECTION Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D. The Decision Maker: The Seat of Destiny A common confusion that befalls many students of A Course in Miracles concerns asking the Holy Spirit or Jesus for help; or, to state it another way, what it means to be in one’s right mind. Our everyday problems and specific worries seem so pressing, and Jesus’ seeming invitation in the Course to help us with them is so persuasive we almost cannot fail to ask for help to solve them. And indeed, there are some passages in his course that can be misconstrued to mean that we should indeed ask him or the Holy Spirit for such specific help (and one workbook lesson even mentions God in this connection [W-pI.71.9]!). Yet these references, if taken out of context, directly contradict the central message of A Course in Miracles that it is the mind alone, and not the world or body that is the problem. In fact, Jesus twice urged Helen Schucman early in the scribing not to fall into this ego trap when she attempted to ask him for help in alleviating her fear, Helen being a fear- or anxiety-driven person: The correction of fear is your responsibility. When you ask for release from fear, you are implying that it is not. You should ask, instead, for help in the conditions that have brought the fear about. These conditions always entail a willingness [i.e., the mind’s decision] to be separate.…If I intervened between your thoughts and their results, I would be tampering with a basic law of cause and effect; the most fundamental law there is. I would hardly help you if I depreciated the power of your own thinking. This would be in direct opposition to the purpose of this course (T-2.VI.4:1-4; VII.1:4-6; italics mine).

Though this message to Helen came very early in the dictation, it succinctly encapsulates, as it foreshadows, all that would come over the next seven years of scribing. It highlights the journey Jesus takes us on from the world to the mind, so we may return to the mind’s “willingness to be separate”: the wish to be autonomous and free of what we insanely believe to be the yoke of perfect Oneness. Now in touch with the decision-making ability of the mind, we can happily choose again, the subject of the final section of the text (T-31.VIII) and the ultimate purpose of this course.

Yet despite our good intentions of being good Course students—recall the line: “Trust not your good intentions. They are not enough” (T-18.IV.2:1-2)—we often fall prey to the ego’s clever strategy of concealing from us the true nature of the problem and its source. Simply put, the problem is not our perceived problems in the world and body, but the fact that we think we have a problem. Near the end of the text, Jesus makes the same point in discussing our self-concepts, saying: Salvation can be seen as nothing more than the escape from concepts. It does not concern itself with content of the mind, but with the simple statement that it thinks (T-31.V.14:3-4).

In other words, the problem is not the various concepts we think of as ourselves—positive or negative—but that we think we even have a self that can be conceptualized: the problem is thus not what we think, but that we actually think that we can think. This is why Jesus reminds us that we do not think at all: You also believe the body’s brain can think. If you but understood the nature of thought, you could but laugh at this insane idea. It is as if you thought you held the match that lights the sun and gives it all its warmth; or that you held the world within your hand, securely bound until you let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to believe the…brain can think (W-pI.92.2).

It is the mind alone that thinks, what we call the decision maker. And this decision-making part of the split mind can choose between only two thoughts: the ego’s separation or the Holy Spirit’s Atonement. That is it. This error of thinking, therefore, stems from the basic error we have shared together as one Son: the insane belief that we separated from God our Source and from our Self, the Christ that God created one with Him. It is this mistake that needs correction, not the multitudinous camouflages the ego employs to divert our attention from the mind’s faulty decision. Jesus instructs us early in the text: Your part is merely to return your thinking to the point at which the error was made, and give it over to the Atonement in peace (T-5.VII.6:5).

The Right Mind: Home of Correction (continued) means saying “not no”, negating the ego’s negation (T-21. VII.12:4). Knowing that to look calmly at the ego means its undoing, the anthropomorphic ego strategizes that the way to preserve its existence in the mind is to make the Son of God mindless. By thus weakening the Son’s decision-making mind, rendering it inaccessible to change, the ego ensures that the original error in choosing it can never be undone:

This decision-making point is, as it were, the seat of destiny (to use a philosophical term usually applied to the Platonic or Neoplatonic soul). It is the part of the mind that continually chooses between the problem (the wrong mind’s thought system of separation) and the answer (the right mind’s correction of forgiveness). The Right Mind: Looking at the Wrong Mind Without Judgment

The ego, which always wants to weaken the mind, tries to separate it from the body in an attempt to destroy it. Yet the ego actually believes that it is protecting it. This is because the ego believes that mind is dangerous, and that to make mindless is to heal (T-8.IX.6:1-3).

Understanding that the decision maker is the thinker enables us to understand the purpose of correction that is the right mind’s only function. When we are right-minded we have become observers, looking with Jesus at our choice for the ego. His gentle and forgiving vision allows us to suspend our judgments of guilt, projected in turn onto others. This leads us to the following operational definition: the right mind is looking at the wrong mind without judgment. This undoes the guilt that had preserved the decision maker’s error, solidifying it so it could never be approached and undone. This is the meaning of Jesus’ exhortation to us not to fall into the ego’s seductive trap of sin, guilt, and fear:

To restate this important point, the purpose of A Course in Miracles is to take us on a journey—with Jesus as teacher and guide—from the mindless to the mindful; from the world of bodies to the inner world of mind. He teaches us to understand that the world we see is “the witness to (y)our state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition” (T-21. in.1:5). As we have observed other times in these pages, our perceptions of the world become the royal road (Freud’s evocative term) that leads us back to the mind, helping us gain access to the decision-making ability we had foresworn. To focus, then, on the mindless external world of our experience, insisting or even demanding that our inner teacher participate in such insanity, merely reinforces the ego’s strategy of keeping us from changing our minds. This tactic is really a fragmentary shadow of the ego’s third law of chaos (T-23. II.6), which holds that God subscribes to our insane thought system of separation and sin. Thus the line almost all Course students know by heart: “Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world” (T-21.in.1:7). In a passage regarding our giving up judgment, Jesus tells us that the undoing is necessary only in our minds (T-6.VC.2:5). Why, then, should we even want to ask Jesus for specific help for specific problems, since they do not exist?— the subject of our next section.

Call it not sin but madness, for such it was and so it still remains. Invest it not with guilt, for guilt implies it was accomplished in reality. And above all, be not afraid of it (T-18.I.6:7-9).

Again, it is the mind’s looking at our errors through the eyes of this most unholy trinity that is the problem, not the seeming errors themselves. Recognizing this truth enables us, as students of A Course in Miracles, to avoid the ego’s snare of believing we are following Jesus’ teachings by “going to our right minds” and asking his help for specific problems in our lives. To do so merely reinforces the ego thought system of deceit and distraction that gives us a deluded sense of accomplishment; a false positive that conceals our one function of undoing the ego’s negative. This is why Jesus urges us to look at the ego with him so we may see beyond it to the truth, as we see in this series of statements from the text:

Asking for Specifics

No one can escape from illusions unless he looks at them, for not looking is the way they are protected.…We are ready to look more closely at the ego’s thought system because together we have the lamp that will dispel it…we must look first at this to see beyond it, since you have made it real (T-11.V.1:1,3,5).

We are told repeatedly in A Course in Miracles that purpose is everything, and that the only question we should ever ask of anything is: What is it for? (e.g., T-17.VI.2:1-2). Therefore, we need to examine the purpose behind our asking for specifics, when it so clearly goes against the message of the Course. The answer to this question is obvious when we consider the ego’s strategy of mindlessness. To ask for specifics reflects the belief that the world is real, reinforced by our focusing attention on the body and not the decision-making mind. Jesus addresses this in the beginning of The Song of Prayer, the companion pamphlet that is an extension of the Course’s principles. The context is prayer, or asking the Holy Spirit for help:

The task of the miracle worker thus becomes to deny the denial of truth (T-12.II.1:5). Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false (T-16.IV.6:1-2).

Therefore, the positive in this course is to look at the ego’s negative and say we no longer want it; saying “yes” to Jesus

2

The Right Mind: Home of Correction (continued) come to him. It was a wonderful example of the meaning of this passage, which also came early in the scribing:

To ask for the specific is much the same as to look on sin and then forgive it. Also in the same way, in prayer you overlook your specific needs as you see them, and let them go into God’s Hands.…What could His answer be but your remembrance of Him? Can this be traded for a bit of trifling advice about a problem of an instant’s duration? (S-1.I.4:2-3,5-6)

The value of the Atonement does not lie in the manner in which it is expressed. In fact, if it is used truly, it will inevitably be expressed in whatever way is most helpful to the receiver. This means that a miracle, to attain its full efficacy, must be expressed in a language that the recipient can understand without fear (T-2.IV.5:1-3).

Jesus, therefore, wants us to consider the magnitude of the gift of God’s Love we have thrown away, in exchange for which we have the trifling specifics of our life of specialness. In his discussion in the text on the song of love we have forgotten, he reminds us that the notes of this song—its specific parts (“the overtones, the harmonics, the echoes” [S-1.I. 3:3]—are nothing [T-21.I.7:1]). And in the workbook, we read an even more direct summary of the ego’s strategy of confusing us as to the nature of the problem and its solution. Afraid the decision-making mind would locate the problem in itself—having chosen the ego’s separation as its reality— and thus correct its mistake by choosing the Holy Spirit’s Atonement, the ego, as we have seen, projects the problem from the mind to the body. Once attention is rooted in the body and its world, it is directed toward solving the multitudinous problems the ego presents to us, as well as its holding out the carrot of meaningful solutions. Here are Jesus words:

Since Helen was clearly in a fear-driven state, and her trust in Jesus ambivalent, to say the very least,1 it was helpful for her to experience his help and love in a form that was comfortable for her; i.e., these specific, relatively unimportant concerns. Yet to have continued this practice indefinitely would have been deleterious to her own growth, not to mention sabotaging her relationship with her beloved elder brother. And so, when she was ready—meaning her fear had sufficiently abated—she was able to hear the following: Any specific question involves a large number of assumptions which inevitably limit the answer. A specific question is actually a decision about the kind of answer that is acceptable. The purpose of words is to limit, and by limiting, to make a vast area of experience more manageable. But that means manageable by you (Absence from Felicity, p. 445).

A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. Even if it is really solved already you will still have the problem, because you will not recognize that it has been solved. This is the situation of the world. The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. Yet the solution is not recognized because the problem is not recognized.…The world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer.…All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the problem, and therefore not to let it be resolved (W-pI.79.1; 4:2; 6:1).

In other words, Helen’s questions to Jesus were specifically designed—albeit unconsciously—to “manage” him; to so control the relationship that his love (“a vast area of experience”) and true correction in her mind would have relatively little effect on her. Her requests, at times even demands, reinforced her mindless state and thus limited Jesus’ help to what she presented to him. His message did finally get through, for shortly thereafter Helen was able to move away from such specificity and begin to accept Jesus’ true correction of undoing her ego.2

This message is reiterated in the text, where Jesus lays out for us the ego’s purpose for our problems:

Undoing: The True Meaning of Correction In order to understand what Jesus means by correction in A Course in Miracles, we need to examine one more important principle in his teaching: the ego itself has no power. In truth, the ego is nothing, being but an illusory thought of separation that did not happen because it could not have happened. Therefore, the ego’s major ally of sin and guilt has no true power, being nothing, and the material world that arose from such nothingness must also be nothing. And so why should we attempt to solve a non-existent problem that is a projection of a non-existent thought? This makes no sense. What does make sense, however, is recognizing that it is the decision maker that has the power here, not the ego. Thus the problem we correct is not the ego, but the decision-making

By becoming involved with tangential issues, it hopes to hide the real question and keep it out of mind. The ego’s characteristic busyness with nonessentials is for precisely that purpose. Preoccupations with problems set up to be incapable of solution are favorite ego devices for impeding learning progress (T-4.V.6:4-6).

It is clear from these passages that when we ask Jesus or the Holy Spirit for help with specific problems, we are allowing the ego’s agenda of subterfuge to contaminate our relationship with our Teachers. They thus become part of the problem instead of the answer. This was the gist of a personal message to Helen in 1977, at a time when she was repeatedly asking Jesus for very specific help for very specific problems, such as where to shop for clothes or what street corner to stand on to hail a cab. This period, which actually extended for several years, was very helpful to Helen in the sense that it exemplified Jesus’ loving and gentle kindness in meeting her where she was, instead of demanding that she

The Right Mind: Home of Correction (continued) The word undoing, as well as its derivatives, appears quite frequently in A Course in Miracles and is used as a way of defining the role of Atonement, salvation, forgiveness, and the miracle—the Holy Spirit’s correction. See the following examples (my italics):

mind. There are several places in A Course in Miracles where Jesus discusses this, for example: Only your allegiance to it gives the ego any power over you (T-4.VI.1:2). The ingeniousness of the ego to preserve itself is enormous, but it stems from the very power of the mind the ego denies.…The ego draws upon the one source that is totally inimical to its existence for its existence. Fearful of perceiving the power of this source, it is forced to depreciate it (T-7. VI.3:1,5-6).

Atonement means correction, or the undoing of errors (M-18. 4:6). Miracles represent freedom from fear. “Atoning” means “undoing.” The undoing of fear is an essential part of the Atonement value of miracles (T-1.I.26).

Do not be afraid of the ego. It depends on your mind, and as you made it by believing in it, so you can dispel it by withdrawing belief from it (T-7.VIII.5:1-2).

The miracle does nothing. All it does is to undo. And thus it cancels out the interference to what has been done (T-28. I.1:1-3).

This understanding greatly simplifies our lives. We need not struggle against the world’s “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,” to quote Hamlet, for these are not the problem, as discussed previously. Only the insane would fight, like Don Quixote, against hallucinatory enemies, and Jesus is helping us to share his sanity in recognizing that the ego is not the problem, but our belief in the ego most definitely is. This is why, returning to the issue of asking for specifics, we should not ask what we should do, but ask instead for help in undoing the interference to our knowing what to do. Therefore, A Course in Miracles is a remedial work of correction, providing “a special Teacher and a special curriculum” (T-12. V.5:4). Another message to Helen, this one in 1975, underscores this teaching. As was her wont, Helen asked Jesus for help in knowing what to say to someone who was in trouble. One would think that this would have been a request fully in keeping with the Course’s teachings. After all, we are supposed to be helpful to others. However, this is a request not only not in keeping with Jesus’ message to us, but is antithetical to it. Recall his words to Helen about how depreciating the power of the mind is “in direct opposition to the purpose of this course.” Asking for behavioral help means that the one who asks has already shifted the problem from the mind to the body, in adherence to the ego’s strategy of mindlessness that ensures that the decision-making mind will have been rendered impotent. This, therefore, is what Helen was told in response to her question:

And that is why the past has gone. It never happened in reality. Only in your mind, which thought it did, is its undoing needful (T-18.IV.8:5-7). …salvation…is the undoing of what never was…(W-pI. 43.2:3). Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which illusions disappear (W-pI.46.2:3-5).

All these statements reflect the basic process of rightminded correction that does nothing positive, for what can be positive within a world of illusion? Instead, such correction undoes the belief that there is a world that is problematic, returning the problem to its source in the mind, as we read: The ego seeks to “resolve” its problems, not at their source, but where they were not made. And thus it seeks to guarantee there will be no solution. The Holy Spirit wants only to make His resolutions complete and perfect, and so He seeks and finds the source of problems where it is, and there undoes it. And with each step in His undoing is the separation more and more undone, and union brought closer (T-17. III.6:1-4).

What is therefore undone is not the problem as we experience it—whether in the outer or inner world—but, once again, the decision-making mind’s belief in sin and guilt as reality. Being in one’s right mind, therefore, does not mean being peaceful, loving, and kind, which are but effects. What allows us to be this way—i.e., their cause—is our choosing to undo the ego’s thought system of conflict, attack, and hate. The acquisition of the ten characteristics of God’s advanced teachers proceeds to the degree that we unlearn (or undo) the ego’s thought system of separation and judgment. Thus we read at the conclusion of Jesus’ discussion that “unlearning… is ‘true learning’ in the world” (M-4.X.3:7). Indeed, Wordsworth’s famous words are true, the world is too much with us, but its seeming hold on our attention is weakened to the extent we realize that we are the ones holding on to it. As the need to defend against our non-existent guilt lessens, we are increasingly able to ask our Teacher’s help to look at the world for what it is: a maladaptive solution to a non-existent problem. As the silliness of our erstwhile

You cannot ask, “What shall I say to him?” and hear God’s answer. Rather ask instead, “Help me to see this brother through the eyes of truth and not of judgment,” and the help of God and all His angels will respond (Absence from Felicity, p. 381).

The message is for all of us; that we go to Jesus for help in undoing our egos, allowing his love to flow through us, which will effortlessly provide the most helpful words and behavior that any situation requires. In other words, we ask for help to step away from our perception of problems and accept his vision instead; inevitable once the interference to it is undone.

The Right Mind: Home of Correction (continued) Into this hopeless situation, Jesus’ voice calling us to look at the world differently—the role of forgiveness—is heard at last. It returns our attention to the mind’s guilt, allowing it to be undone as its dark illusion softly disappears in the light of truth. As belief is withdrawn from the ego, it evanesces, and our minds are free to choose the gentle remedy of Atonement. For an instant the thoughts of separation and Atonement remain, and then both are gone, leaving only God and His one Son:

position dawns on our minds, our gentle laughter, joined with Jesus’, allows the world to “ultimately fade into the nothingness from which it came when there is no more use for it” (M-13.1:2). We are ready for the world we truly want: the real world of light and peace and joy. The World Beyond Correction A miracle is a correction.…It undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within time’s limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and love’s awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings (W-pII. 13.1:1,4-6).

This is the shift that true perception brings: What was projected out is seen within, and there forgiveness lets it disappear. For there the altar to the Son is set, and there his Father is remembered. Here are all illusions brought to truth and laid upon the altar. What is seen outside must lie beyond forgiveness, for it seems to be forever sinful. Where is hope while sin is seen as outside? What remedy can guilt expect? But seen within your mind, guilt and forgiveness for an instant lie together, side by side, upon one altar. There at last are sickness and its single remedy joined in one healing brightness. God has come to claim His Own. Forgiveness is complete (C-4.6).

The miracle, therefore, is the kind means A Course in Miracles employs to lead us from the right-minded perception of our wrong-minded thinking to the One-mindedness of Christ. It is the journey that takes us from our perceptions of the world, retracing them to their source in the mind, recognizing that all these misperceptions—of the outer world of special relationships and the inner world of guilt—are defenses against the decision-making mind’s choosing to remember its Identity as the One-minded Self. With Jesus as our guide, we have successfully seen through the ego’s attempts at camouflaging its source in the mind by diverting our attention to the mindless world of bodies, problems, and ineffective solutions. The mind’s decision for sin, perceived to be very real, has been buried beneath a world in which sin is perceived, not only as a reality, but as a trait and event in everyone except ourselves. Thus is sin kept impervious to change, and the guilt and fear it engenders beyond all meaningful remedy. Confusion reigns supreme, but its true source in the mind is kept hidden by our concerns, leading to the demand that God give us answers to our madeup problems.

We close this hymn to salvation by letting Jesus urge us one more time to hear his voice and make it our own, extending it to embrace the world we had condemned. Now are we free, and now we reclaim the love we once threw away when we believed our sin to be real. Nothing remains in our holy minds but the love and light we have, extend, and will forever be: O my brothers, if you only knew the peace that will envelop you and hold you safe and pure and lovely in the Mind of God, you could but rush to meet Him where His altar is. Hallowed your Name and His, for they are joined here in this holy place. Here He leans down to lift you up to Him, out of illusions into holiness; out of the world and to eternity; out of all fear and given back to love (C-4.8).

Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D. THE DECISION M AKER : “T HRONED ABOVE FATE”. This 2007 workshop centers on the all-important concept of the decision maker: the part of the mind to which Jesus addresses A Course in Miracles, asking it to choose again. Since everything that happens in the world—on the personal and collective levels—is the result of the mind’s decision, the workshop’s focus is on the ego’s attempt to identify us with the body, which ensures that we can never correct our mistaken decision. The Course therefore invites us to return power from the body and world to the mind that made them, freeing us at last from the burden of being at the mercy of forces beyond our control. Indeed, we are masters of our fate, for we alone can choose to awaken from the ego’s dream and return home. CD-144 • two CDs • $15.00

THE EGO STRIKES BACK : “T HE RETURN

OF THE

REPRESSED”. Freud’s concept of “the return of the

repressed” is the basis for this workshop, which deals with the fundamental ego dynamic of convincing us that guilt is horrifically real, and then “protecting” us from its inevitable punishment by counseling us to deny or repress its existence, and then ensuring its survival by projecting it onto others. This returns to awareness the guilt that had been repressed, which is now seen in the world external to the mind. All this is undone by our looking with Jesus at what the ego has wrought, thus undoing repression and projection by recognizing that the guilt we see in others is what we have first seen in ourselves, which is itself unreal. We therefore are free to choose whether to remain in hell or return to Heaven with all the Sonship. CD-145 • four CDs • $25.00

THE B ODY: A N “ENGINE OF D ESTRUCTION”. This 2007 workshop explores the two purposes for the body. The ego uses the body to fulfill its strategy of mindlessness, wherein the mind’s decision for the ego and its thought system of sin and destruction is hidden behind projection. Thus does the body become the engine of destruction that symbolizes the death of God and His Son. The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, shifts the body’s purpose from hate to forgiveness, so that it becomes the classroom in which we learn that nothing has occurred to change the sinlessness of God’s Son. As we choose again, the ego’s judgment becomes the Holy Spirit’s vision and we are healed. CD-146 • three CDs • $20.00

BEYOND T HEISM: THE G OD OF A COURSE IN M IRACLES . The focus of the workshop is God: the ego’s concepts of a personal deity, found in most formal religions of the world, versus the Course’s understanding of a nonpersonal, non-dualistic Presence Who is the Source of all being. Specific emphasis is placed on the projections of the wrong mind’s thought system of guilt and punishment onto a god who merely reflects the ego’s calls for specialness. Jesus, therefore, teaches us forgiveness as the means for moving beyond our theistic beliefs to the love that is the knowledge of Heaven. CD-147 • two CDs • $15.00

EXCERPTS SERIES Our latest series of excerpts is from our tape album “Our Gratitude to God,” a workshop presented by Kenneth in 1989 at our former location in New York. The theme is discussed in the context of our gratitude to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and to each other. The many forms of our resistance to being grateful are considered, including our ego’s resentment that God is the Creator, not itself. Our expressions of gratitude, therefore, help us undo this original error. These excerpts can be found at the Foundation’s Web site at www.facim.org.

This fourth law of chaos (T-23.II.9) is at the heart of the ego’s specialness, laying the groundwork for our special relationships in which we feel justified to attack through our perceptions that others have deprived us of the innocence we believe to be rightfully ours. This law, therefore, forms the basis of all aspects of competition—in business, politics, international relations, and sports—and is undone only by substituting the Holy Spirit’s rock of salvation: no one can lose for anyone to gain (T-25.VII.12:1).

The famous fairy tale is the framework for exploring the inherent nothingness, not only of the ego’s thought system of special relationships, but of the very ego itself. Only those whose vision is cleansed of guilt and fear have the innocence from which true perception rises. Looking without judgment at the ego, therefore, we are able to look beyond it to the truth of God’s pure creation, the Everything that is our Self.

Jesus tells us twice in A Course in Miracles that no one dies without his own consent (T-19.IV.C.1:4; W-pI.152.1:4), for death does not come from external causes. Moreover, to have a split mind means there are wrong- and right-minded reasons for our choice: specialness or forgiveness. Through lecture, discussion, and readings, we will explore our decisions for death, the ultimate goal being to recognize the illusory nature of the body’s birth, life, and death, seeing them as camouflages for the mind’s life—the doorway to our return to Life Itself.

The ego tells us that if we follow the Holy Spirit and His teachings of forgiveness we would disappear, not into the Heart of God but into the nothingness of oblivion. Yet Jesus teaches that the process of awakening is gradual and kind, filled with happy dreams, for “God willed [we] waken gently and with joy, and gave [us] means to waken without fear” (T-27.VII.13:5). The class will explore this central theme of A Course in Miracles through lecture, discussion, and readings.

This statement from a personal message to Helen Schucman in 1975 underscores the non-dualistic foundation of A Course in Miracles. It reflects the first principle of miracles (there is no order of difficulty among them), which undoes the ego’s first law of chaos (there is a hierarchy of illusions). Translated into our everyday experience, this means that forgiveness makes no exceptions. This major theme of the class will be presented through lecture, discussion, and readings.
