This audio recording is another in the weekly series of conversations about A Course In Miracles with Lyn Johnson and Bruce Rawles. This week we covered a lot of ground, including the metaphysical metaphors in movies like The Truman Show, the Matrix and Star Wars series, and more. We ended up reading the first part of FACIM Outreach FAQ #1001 which seemed quite timely, given all the seasonal insanity and attempted heroic thinking that sometimes seems more evident during the holidays. We also touched on another favorite ACIM workbook lesson, #95, which also reminds us that the heart of forgiveness is letting ourselves (and everyone else) ‘off the hook’ when we notice our resistance and lapses in diligence. Not condemning ourselves – forgiving ourselves for NOT wanting to be peaceful, knowing that our Inner Kindness Teacher’s curriculum WILL lead us to that state – is the whole point of these lessons, as Ken Wapnick reminds us in several of his lectures. We’re all in the same boat! … We can undo ego’s forceful blundering when we awaken to our Inner Kindness Teacher’s gentle curriculum… and leave (by removing our identity, not necessarily changing anything in the dream) the ego’s colossal special effects stage. :-)
