We are doing it again! A new email study group for the Workbook for Students from A Course in Miracles will begin on April 1, 2015, which will continue through to the end of April 2016. We will progress through the entire 365 lessons dedicated to helping you get beyond the ego mind and achieving higher awareness. This is a self-study program about learning to use the tool of true forgiveness (a concept explained in the Course) to achieve a state of joy in your recognition that you are part of the Oneness of Divine Being (and so is everyone else).
The language of the Course is from traditional Christianity, although that is only a format to put into words what cannot be conveyed by words. The goal is to move beyond religions as such and get to the heart of how we can relate to the world we see around us with love.
If you are interested in joining (or rejoining) the group this year starting April 1, please let me know and I will include you in the daily reminder. I continue to add new video material to the lessons, and if you have done this before, I hope that you will find the additional videos useful in your study.
Each participant must have his or her own copy of A Course in Miracles. Reading the 600 plus pages of the Text is optional, but I will be adding a brief synopsis of various sections of the Text as we go along. The Course consists of three volumes (sometimes combined in a single book) a Text, a Workbook for Students, and a Manual for Teachers.
If you are not at all familiar with A Course in Miracles, I am quoting below the Introduction to the Text of the book.
This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
Please consider joining us this year and studying the lessons of joy contained in this wonderful book. Simply send an email to me at loridaystar@yahoo.com requesting to be added to the new group. There is no charge to be part of this study group.
