Faculty: Drs. Kenneth Wapnick, Rosemarie LoSasso, and Jeffrey Seibert Times: 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Class Code	Class Title
A-7	"Waken gently and with joy" Dates: July 27 - 29, 2008   Fee: $100.00
	A-7D1    Date: July 27    Fee: $40.00 A-7D2 Date: July 28 Fee: $40.00 A-7D3 Date: July 29 Fee: $40.00 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.
A-8	"Truth makes no compromise" Dates: August 24 - 26, 2008   Fee: $100.00
	A-8D1    Date: August 24    Fee: $40.00 A-8D2 Date: August 25 Fee: $40.00 A-8D3 Date: August 26 Fee: $40.00 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.
A-9	“Trust Not Your Good Intentions” Dates: October 5 - 7, 2008   Fee: $100.00
	A-9D1    Date: October 5    Fee: $40.00 A-9D2 Date: October 6 Fee: $40.00 A-9D3 Date: October 7 Fee: $40.00 Jesus teaches in the text: “Trust not your good intentions. They are not enough. But trust implicitly your willingness…” (T-18.IV.2:1-3). Thus we rely on our little willingness to look at the world through Jesus' vision, and not on what our eyes and brains tell us is true. Without recognizing our mind's need for correction, there would remain only the ego's arrogance in maintaining that we know the problem and its solution, thereby making the error of separation real. Asking Jesus for help, however, returns us to the mind's misguided decision for the ego (the problem) and its correction of Atonement (the answer). This important theme will be explored through lecture, discussion, and readings.
A-10	“Much Ado About Nothing”: Everything, Nothing, and Something Dates: November 10 - 14, 2008   Fee: $175.00
	ALL ACADEMY 10 CLASSES WILL BE TAUGHT BY KENNETH WAPNICK PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED A-10D1    Date: November 10    Fee: $40.00 A-10D2 Date: November 11 Fee: $40.00 A-10D3 Date: November 12 Fee: $40.00 A-10D4 Date: November 13 Fee: $40.00 A-10D5 Date: November 14 Fee: $40.00 The title of Shakespeare's comedy provides a succinct summary of the Holy Spirit's response to the ego's thought system of sepa­ration: much ado about nothing. By identifying with this response, we remember to laugh at the “tiny, mad idea” instead of taking it seriously as a sin (T-27.VIII.6:2-3), demanding the ego's hierarchy of defenses. Thus do we remember that the ego's something is truly nothing, allowing the return to awareness of the Everything that created us and of Who we are. Lecture, discussion, and read­ings will amplify this process of forgiveness and healing.
A-11	The Mastery of Fear Dates: December 7 - 9, 2008   Fee: $100.00
	A-11D1    Date: December 7    Fee: $40.00 A-11D2 Date: December 8 Fee: $40.00 A-11D3 Date: December 9 Fee: $40.00 Attempts to master fear through confrontation, opposition, or compromise will fail because they commit the fundamental mistake inherent in following the ego: making the error real. Fear can be overcome only by recognizing its illusory nature. Such recognition comes when we seek the Holy Spirit's help to return to the source of our fear: the mind's wrong-minded decision to believe in the ego's lies of separation. By so doing, we return to the source of the love that is the only answer: the mind's right-minded decision to identify with Jesus' message of forgiveness. Through lecture, discussion, and readings we examine these two mutually exclusive ways of responding to fear.
