Susan Dugan and Bruce Rawles talked in this video on “Grandeur vs. Grandiosity” – the last section (VIII) of Chapter 9 from the text of A Course in Miracles (T-9:VIII). More about Susan’s books, classes and more at Susan’s blog, ForaysInForgiveness.com. Here’s a link to some related musing about the “kid’s riddle” mentioned in this conversation about how to catch an elephant. The ego’s grandiosity becomes indignant when it’s insignificance is exposed, and our Inner Kindness Teacher helps us turn our metaphoric binoculars around to see how tiny and inconsequential our personal ‘big deals’ really are in Truth… even when they seem elephant sized at first.
In addition to the core conversation, we reminded listeners about the superb ongoing Academy Classes (and other classes about A Course in Miracles) from Foundation from A Course In Miracles (FACIM), FAQs, Online Learning Aids, Lighthouse articles, as well as the 5th annual Weekend of Freedom Retreat (WOFR) event, based on A Course In Miracles (ACIM) will be June 16-19, 2016 at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado. Presenters include Gary Renard, Cindy Lora Renard, David Hoffmeister, David “Dov” Fishman, Lorri Coburn, Craig Villarrubia, Maria Felipe, and Bruce Rawles.
