In this video, Susan Dugan and Bruce Rawles share thoughts around the topic of “Level Confusion” in A Course in Miracles (ACIM) and why ACIM is not a “New Age” philosophy, religion, or thought system. We read aloud and discuss this short related essay from the Foundation for A Course In Miracles (FACIM) which forms the basis of our conversation. Here is the first of five points made by this helpful clarifying essay:
“The theory of A Course in Miracles is based on a non-dualistic metaphysics; it teaches that the physical universe (including the body) was not created by God, and in fact, came about as an attack on God. No New Age system would support this; they all teach just the opposite.”
Susan writes frequently and eloquently about A Course in Miracles in her very engaging and insightful blog, ForaysInForgiveness.
Since these video recordings have been a “labor of love” for many years, we thought it would be helpful to remind viewers that donations are always appreciated to enable us to continue devoting time to making these conversations available publicly to fellow students of ACIM worldwide; our intent is to be truly helpful. The (PayPal) Donate button on Susan’s site is toward the top of the middle column on each page of her ForaysInForgiveness site, and a similar donation button on my site is at the bottom in the sidebar on each page of ACIMblog. (Please note that ACIMblog.com and ForaysInForgiveness.com do not represent charitable organizations and any donations are not tax-deductible.)
We recommend these websites to all students of ACIM, both of which have recently updated websites with great resources:
- Foundation for A Course In Miracles (FACIM) which now has new Course-related streaming videos and podcasts including previously unreleased recordings.
- Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP) which has numerous new features, including instant “zero-click” access via the ticker tape on each page to today’s calendar Workbook Lesson – available in 7 languages, a new comprehensive FAQs page and a wealth of Course-related news, contextually relevant and historical archival material about ACIM’s origins, outreach (study groups) and ongoing products and extensions around the globe, including over two dozen translations. There are numerous video conversations on ACIMblog with Dr. Bob Rosenthal, co-President of FIP.
