RE: Miracles Aren't Chance...We Create Them
I used to follow "A Course in Miracles" and I really wanted to believe in the truth of these teachings. Over the last several months, I came to learn that the woman Helen, who so-called was the vehicle for Jesus, who produced the book, was involved in MK Ultra mind control and then when I review the website, I see 1 eye on their page.
If we are to believe in the teachings of this book it would make us believe that this world doesn't matter whatsoever and it's all an illusion. We will overlook the corruption that is going on and focus on this book and this book makes us believe that have powers, like our Creator.
This book focuses on forgiveness and does not teach how to live with good values and to respect the earth. It teaches that we are to forgive others for anything and that we can leave this place when our vision expands and we awaken.
I have given up reading this book and I am thankful I didn't waste anymore time with studying this book because I wouldn't want to reach the end of my life, and come to realize that everything I thought I knew to be the truth, was all a lie, in order to manipulate me.
I respect your views and opinions. I’m 250+ pages into the course and can tell you I can see many great perspectives from it. Like all things I approach this with an open mind, able to take what I feel is good from it, yet also question what I may not align with.
I will never have the view that this life is “an illusion.” I do however align with the belief that this physical life we live is not the end game; and it does matter. We all live after we die and what we do now matters. Every experience is a lesson. How we respond to each life situation allows us growth or more suffering - be it through this life or lives after. But I know that this physical existence we are experiencing is not everything; the non-physical and spiritual aspects are what we really are.
There are many great life perspectives in the course. Teaching Love and Forgiveness is not bad. It does not state that we should ever lie down and allow others to perpetrate or cause harm. Nor would I ever stand by idle to allow any types of those activities to occur either.
The teachings of the ego and the recognition of it are some of the most powerful perspectives in the course that I’ve come across thus far. I’ve read of the ego and the truth of what it makes us think from other authors besides those from the course. Recognition of it and how it can control our motives is probably more important to me that anything.
Those under mind control cannot question the way of their current existence. All I ever do is question my current existence and look to find ways to help others be enlightened to find their own purpose.
I don’t know of the MK Ultra mind control accusations, but as through all things in my life, I will evaluate that perspective and form my own conclusions without the influence of others.
I’m of the opinion that the course is simply a tool. One of many that can help us be guided through life. The teachings within in state that through non-duality and fear of God; our consciousness created the ego and all the physical worldly items we see on earth. That was quite a hard pill for me to take in as well. However, even if true; we can and should still live our lives right and one with the earth. I’ll never part from that belief. Nor will I ever stop standing up to do right by others and help people. However, I will show “all” love. Even the evil in this world. The only thing worthy of defeating evil is overall love. Not to stand by idle and watch evil win, but not to combat it with fear or hate. Love is the only true way.
I very much appreciate your comments and perspectives and wish you well on your continued journey we call life.
Be well...
