A Course in Miracles - An overview of its philosophy

[jnhanyang]

love the background music

[jnhanyang]

the background soundtrack is?

[THPoppeJr]

f you don;t want to understand the Course read everything Rober Perry wrote, if you want to heal the error of thinking caused byt the false idea of separation, read the Course and be WILLING to do what it asks of you.  I guarantee that it will work...judge yourself NOT just be willing to follow directions as they are given in ACIM itself.

[THPoppeJr]

From wickapedia...Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems. The Course says that studying the problem in itself is an effect of thinking the problem od spearation is real, and therefore a distraction, for how can studying the error, or fundamental problem, help solve it, if the solution lies NOT in the what is false.

[THPoppeJr]

The Course it says a study of TRUTH is impossible, for TRUTH is all there is, therefopre would leave nothing outside of it to study it...ACIM is a Divine Psychotherapy for the healing of the mind of the false idea that it is slpit and separate from everything...

Just read what it says...Truth is TRUE and nothing else is true. To study TRUTH then, there would have to be something other than TRUTH, which the COURSE itself says there is NOT.

[poppypea100]

Very helpful explanation of ACIM-thank you

[mattr3366]

huh?

why does it have to be so complicated? i beleive god is not the author of confusion.we were created as humans ; i beleive, to see the contrast and to experience the world as we do thru our five senses, we have evolved and are stilexperience, we are all one and a part of god - everyone is also unique but joined to everyone else - we are all god, and when there is sickness in the body of god and we choose to act as a separate part the whole body suffers

[gunner762]

This is just old fashioned occult, nothing new here. Why you insist on dragging the name of Jesus into it is the part that takes it from stupid to vile. I just hope no Christian is foolish enough to fall for any of this dribble

[Skyman2596]

A god could have not created the universe or have existed before it, for time began at the start of the universe. There is no before the universe because there was not a time for it to exist, nor a time for god to exist. Now tell me why you think this is not true, and how and why there is a god?

[419dman]

@Skyman2596 Are you arguing that consciousness can only exist within 4 dimensional space time, If so what evidence can you offer for this outlandish claim.

[Skyman2596]

@419dman Yes, I am saying this. If a two dimensional creature (let us say that such thing exists) were asked to imagine a three dimensional space, it would be unable to appropriately replicate one,for it lives in the second dimension. Just as we live in four dimensional space (3 dimensions with the addition of time) we can not perceive any "higher levels" of dimension. In fact there could be no higher dimension at all.

[onespiritedangel1]

you read like a grade schooler. i'll bet you feel really good about yourself. your ego is reading for you. i can see you just smiling about how cool you think you are with your cheap little video of BS

[onespiritedangel1]

psychotics, the whole bunch. Watch Bill Mauer's documentary , Religulious and get the real story on religion

[onespiritedangel1]

the Holy Spirit is actually the gas escaping from God's butt hole......

[onespiritedangel1]

"offer no defense" really means just do whatever you want and feel no remorse or guilt. This is the religion of narcissistic sociopaths/psychopaths. Or as my "teacher of God" told me, "Once I admitted I was a liar, I was no longer a liar," which meant he could dontinue to lie and abuse people, screwing thme out of money as a fake "therapist." You people are a bunch of crazy _ssholes. You are all "in a nutshell."

[chocoholicSISTA263]

has anyone read the book?? is it any good..i was told about it and now i feel i want to look at the book

[dylansuppiah]

Fantastic! Thank you!!!

[raghuchak]

o m g its mind-blowing thnks fra gr8 info othis gr8 video lots of love & peace....

[lorenciandrej]

YES, IT WORKS !!!

It is not necessary to talk about ACIM at all. Just feel it, be the gost and have the vision.

ACIM is my need and joy. I'm relaxed and everything arround is in harmony.

[Wingedmagician]

Romansangel

You hit the target on your replies!

They don't understand that their attack is God-denying, or rather an attempt.

[kimposssiblle]

HI! I an studying the book and starting a blog for the people from my country. I am portuguese, and would like to add subtitles to your video and publish it in my blog. Would you authorise it please?

[yuradisman]

Oh yeah and ACIM is anything BUT empty philosophies, it is a very potent practical mind-training course that can help us Justify Our Creator no matter what happens in our lives instead of blaming some deity that wars with God...God is ALL THERE IS. There Is None Else Besides Him. That's what ACIM is saying on the deepest level and all else is just details to help us feel our world through the truth of God's Oneness, Omnipresence, Omniscience, and Omnipotence.

[yuradisman]

I personally feel ACIM is wrong in it's cosmology regarding our fall from the Oneness of The Creator, but it does give some great advice to the inner worker if you actually understand what it's talking about and where it MAY be off on the inner level when talking about creation. So far I've yet to meet a single Christian that actually has the slightest grasp on The Holy Bible so your criticism of ACIM is double whammy wrong...u don't understand the bible or ACIM so you can't really judge :)

[cyranodeluk]

Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. Col 2:8

ACIM was written by a spirit entity channeled through a Jewish woman, Helen Schucman. A voice told her that there were mistakes in the Bible that needed to be corrected.

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 1 Tim 4:1

[myalexisjoy]

@cyranodeluk

you are correct in describing how the course was written.

What about the Bible? Wasn't it written by Jewish men that channeled God throught them?

How do we know that it was not the same spirit entity that "wrote/dictated the Bible", especially all of the books of the prophets? We were not there, so we take it by faith. Could it be possible that Helel was a modern day prophet? Why not?

[NebulaSteam]

Thank you for uploading! It was very informative!

[oritrond]

It really amazes me how some people can find simple things to call a "Religion" or "Miracle". This "Miracle"/Religion cites stuff like "God" and "Christ", but these are "CHRISTIANITY" views.  The stuff spouted has nothing to do with Christianity. This is where "Sin" comes in. Put "A Course in Miracles" and pick up the Bible and you will have ALL the information you ever need. Christianity isn't a philosophy. You want "Miracles" open the Bible. That's my rant. I apologize if I Offend ppl.

[romansangel]

@oritrond Why don't you try listening again to right at 1:00 and the next 20 seconds > where it says our minds are prone to guilt, sin judgement and attack. You have never read nor done the Course yet you stand in judgement of nothing you know. The Course In Miracles is not a religion and has never claimed to be.

[oritrond]

@romansangel well, i have to say this is an Illusion alright.

[oritrond]

@romansangel ..."Only my perception needs to be healed, the world is nothing but a projection of MY mind"; well, in my projection this is nothing but a false perception. To each their own.

[RealityOfLight]

These principles are very enlightening and liberating. No evidence of the suggestions are required, because I can feel that it is true. Keep putting the truth out here. Thank you indeed!

[KYamada416]

anyone who believes this bullshit is a retard. wake the fuck up

[MiracleNetworkTV]

@KYamada416 You partly passed on the message. Indeed it is about waking up

[romansangel]

@KYamada416 People like you used to bother me but I see you now, for what is real. This is your mind running scared. It would be the death of all you know, that is the fear. And as you hear this your ego mind is plots its attack..no worries the time you take to get this is voluntary, but get it you will. The Course never claims to be the only path, there are many. Whatever path you chose will be met with the same opposition your remarks represent here. Then you will see them as well-

[Wingedmagician]

I need to put this up on my wall, poster size.

[MrROTFLAMO]

this appears to be based on the bible OK that's cool. but the fact that it lies on no references is just makes it invalid to Christianity read 1 John 8-10 in the bible. this only leads to a religious spirit not the holy spirit. the religious spirit is represented as the Pharisee which practises egoistic nature so its self contradictory

[MrROTFLAMO]

[ed2see]

We have teachings from thousands of years about Jesus Christ which speak of his life on earth to save us from our sins. It says the only way to heaven is through the beleif in him; to say that we are God conscousness is the reverse teaching of the Bible. Satan deceives by turning truth upside down and once again he has done this through a false prophet who is being used to help gather more souls for him in hell.

[alexrush55]

Thank you for this beautiful, concise overview.

[marmite400]

@alexrush55 I second that.

[valerievanos1]

BEST DISCRIPTION FOR ME XXXXXX

[velinap]

This sounds so much like Abraham-Hicks. One only needs to change his perception of the world and to start seeing through the eyes of Source (here they say, to see reality). How do you do that? By allowing. Here, allowing the Holy Spirit to heal you from within. (What a great idea, btw, you don't have to strive to do the healing, you just allow the Holy Spirit!) And then everything falls into place...

[ladytess23]

Great video. It makes me want to learn more about "A Course in Miracles." The music in the backround was awesome too. Thanks so much.

[1971SuperLead]

Why do so many avoid the book with absolute contempt without understanding a single idea that is within it? I've given away a dozen books to friends, and even they will not remove the book from the wrapper yet quickly condemn it without the slightest understanding of it's contents. I find this phenomenon to be one of the most perplexing questions. I can only guess that the book itself radiates a vibration that is uncomforatable to those not ready for it.

[alexrush55]

@1971SuperLead They're afraid to question the foundations of their world. That or they're just not interested enough to give it much attention. (Most people don't read any non-fiction books after graduating school.) I find it much better to avoid concepts or converting people and instead just be loving. They are already perfect exactly as they are. :)

[Wingedmagician]

@1971SuperLead Yes! well said!

[1971SuperLead]

@Wingedmagician Thx for noticing! But have you noticed this too? In any moment I can find someone who thinks ACIM is total bullshit and yet they have not a single clue what it says. WTF? I have spend 15 years talking to one of my friends about ACIM and he still won't read it and hates it.

How can you hate what you don't know?????

They claim it's BS without reading a single word! rotf scratching my head! I can only guess that it has some magical force field around it or something.

[myalexisjoy]

@1971SuperLead

so true, people talk about things that they have no idea about.

How do they know that they hate it?

The ego is so scared that they would wake up if they tried to read, that it won't let them near the Course. :)

[yerafreekinloser]

How do I become a "course in miricles" pastor? you guys obviously know where to get the best dope.

[KYamada416]

@yerafreekinloser hahaha fuckin eh bro

[Psyman777]

Beautiful. :)

I (L) the Course. A truly pathway of spiritual wisdom. A gift from above.

[courseinmiracles]

You had me at 1.

P.S. Re: 16 - Only my perception needs to be healed, the world is nothing but a projection of MY mind. Re: 5

[crazy650c]

I note all the comments are positive....I expect comments must be approved but even if not....this is such a boatload of crap. This "course" is a lie and a deception. M't:7:14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.......Only Jesus Christ of Nazareth who died on the cross and rose again can save you from hell....acknowledge him and him alone or you will not see heaven but only eternal torment.

[TheAum23]

One : NO ONE KNOWS if there was a " Jesus Christ" > a name that if He did exist would not have recognized.Two: NO ONE KNOWS (if he existed) what he said. Three: Assuming the words in the bible are accurate ( which WE know are not) There is no where that He said HE came here to die for our sins (possibly because of the real aramaic meaning of "sin"

[crazy650c]

@TheAum23 1st, there are many historians who recorded Jesus Christ as existing...even though they were not Christians. Cornelius Tacitus, Lucian, Pliny the Younger, Josephus, Mara Bar-Serapion....and others. Furthermore, the disciples went to their deaths rather than recant their testimony. How many (if any) men would die for a fictional person? Jesus said he is the Way, the Truth and the Light. The bible tells us why he was here. You reject Christ on emotional, not intellectual grounds.

[Psyman777]

@dpattiris

It can be an illusion by the fact that all of this is just temporary, and not eternal, but transient. Yes, it's true that animals are suffering too in this world. You can see that as a symbolic representation of our own mind.

And in this temporary dream itself it is all a very true experience that don't has to be play down as meaningless. But by the awakening of the mind, you will learn that there is a choice and another way to look at the things. It takes (much) time to learn that.

[mofowheh]

Hey y'all- check out "The Disappearance of the Universe," it really helps.

[fairyanjewlz]

Wow I love this. Can anyone reach God without accepting Jesus Christ? The Holy Spirit directs us to Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ directs us to God (God our Father). Holy Spirit is God, Jesus Christ is God and God our Father is God. God is Love. God is alive and is real. God also talks back and forth like one friend to another friend. I hear God often and He loves you all. thanks for this. I love it.

[hvncb]

ACIM is a dualist philosophy of a "me" and a "God." A "me" that can be improved or "saved" or go "home," the very paradigm that brought us the inquisition.

As long as we are identified with an object (me): that is bondage.

As long as we think, act, live via an object, or as an object: that is bondage.

As long as we feel ourselves to be an object, or think we are such (and a 'self' is an object): that is bondage.

"liberation is not of a person, it is from a person" Nisargadatta

[Omarateastwind]

Hello hvncb, just for your clarification, ACIM is a completely, uncompromisingly, NON-dualistic teaching. It's main goal is to un-do our generally accepted belief in duality. Your other comments are right in line with ACIM teaching, in my opinion. "I am one Self, united with my Creator". Peace my Brother....

[jdlejeune]

I was always under the impression it was non-dualistic.

On one level it speaks to us in our dualistic dream while leading us back to Truth at our own pace.

Just my 2 cents...peace.

[fernetalternativo]

Those little ilustrations are quite helpful for understanding the message of ACIM... and in a nutshell!
