A-4  "Love Makes No Comparisons"

This important idea characterizes the holy relationship, and is stated twice in A Course in Miracles (T-24.II.1:1; W-pI.195.4:2). It reflects the total lack of judgment that is our goal as we practice the Course’s principles of forgiveness. Ending our perception of comparisons corrects the exclusivity that is the hallmark of the special relationship, which seeks always to fragment the Sonship that the Holy Spirit’s true perception unifies. This central theme of A Course in Miracles will be explored through lecture, discussion, and readings.

A-5  The Method in our Ego's Madness

The famous line from Hamlet (“Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.”) is the basis for this class on the ego’s purpose of its thought system of separation and guilt, which results in a separated world of guilt and specialness; the ego’s twofold wish being to sustain our separated existence, yet hold others responsible for it and our unhappy condition. Lecture, discussion, and readings will help deepen understanding of the ego’s method of reinforcing its insane dream of separation, and how the shift to Jesus’ forgiveness gently ends it.

A-6  The Neutral World

A Course in Miracles tells us that the body is a wholly neutral thing (W-pII.299), meaning that once the body was made by the ego to limit love (T-18.VIII.1:1-4) and the world made to attack God (W-pII.3.2:1), they become neutral, ready to serve either the ego’s purpose of maintaining the dream, or the Holy Spirit’s purpose of awakening us from it. Thus our lives as bodies merely await the mind’s decision. Lecture and readings augment discussion of this important topic.

A-7  Leading Lives of Quiet Desperation

The famous line of Thoreau—“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation”—is the basis of this class, which explores the desperation and hopelessness that characterize the lives of most of us. The world itself offers little hope, having been made to keep true hope hidden. This lies only in the mind, where the mistake was made and the only place it can be corrected. Through lecture, discussion, and readings, we explore the nature of the problem (the ego’s special relationships) and how to gain access to the solution (the Holy Spirit’s forgiveness).

A-8  Appearance versus Reality

Plato can be said to be the first philosopher to have explored the relationship between appearance and reality, what A Course in Miracles calls illusion and truth. In our everyday lives, this contrast takes the form of distinguishing between the ego’s illusions of attack and defense, and Jesus’ truth of our expressing love or calling for it. Thus the Course’s metaphysical foundation—appearance versus reality—will be the backdrop against which we discuss forgiveness as the means of undoing the ego’s thought system of spe¬cialness by learning to correct the ego’s misperceptions.

A-9   “Above the Battleground”

The section of the same name (T-23.IV) is the basis of this class, which will focus on asking Jesus for help to rise above the world and see it through his eyes: the vision of Christ that perceives only the intrinsic sameness of God’s Son. Thus we are taught to recognize the same split mind—wrong mind, right mind, decision maker—in everyone we meet or even think about, looking beyond the bodily differences that reinforce separation and breed conflict, to the love that is the common goal of all of us.
