A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is an extraordinary spiritual text that delivers Jesus teachings in a manner that reaches the modern mind. It is suggested that Jesus himself is the author of this course, offering a practical guide to achieving inner peace and self-realization. Regardless of whether one believes in the divine authorship of the book, many attest to experiencing a deeper, more intimate connection with Jesus upon engaging with the text and its practices.
My Personal Journey with Jesus Teachings and ACIM
I grew up as a Christian Missionary, frequently praying and learning how to hear from Jesus. However, there were some Jesus teachings that I wouldn't listen to because my mind was conditioned to outright reject them. In 2014, my journey with ACIM began, and it proved to be a turning point in my spiritual growth. Despite being advanced in my thinking due to many years of spiritual practice and seeking, ACIM brought a fresh perspective to my understanding.
For one thing, I quickly learned how to recognize that my only problem was unforgiveness and how to extend forgiveness instead.
Within a few months of beginning the course, I experienced the transformative power of forgiveness and love, key principles within ACIM and Jesus's teachings. Ever since, I have been deepening in my practice and sharing my experiences of adopting a miracle mind, demonstrating the profound impact ACIM can have on personal growth and spiritual development.
My personal journey with ACIM and the insights I've gathered are detailed in my book, "Unschoolingfor Parents." This book is not just for parents; anyone looking to benefit from ACIM and seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality can find value in it.
In addition, I go live for free each week via Zoom, where you can just watch and listen, chat with me, or talk with me live. You can join me by registering here: https://bit.ly/LoveIsOne.
The Core Principles of ACIM
At the core of ACIM, echoing Jesus's teachings is the principle of love and forgiveness. This is not about absolving others for their perceived wrongs but instead involves releasing our own judgments and grievances. This principle is a reflection of Jesus's teachings on the transformative power of forgiveness and love, emphasizing that true healing begins within our own hearts and minds.
ACIM and the Illusory Nature of the Physical World
Further emphasizing Jesus's teachings, ACIM sheds light on the illusory nature of the physical world. It proposes that what we perceive with our senses is merely a dream, a projection of our thoughts and beliefs. This aligns seamlessly with Jesus's teachings about the kingdom of God being within us, suggesting that reality is not at all like the physical world we perceive.
The Holy Spirit as Our Guide
One of the most profound teachings that Jesus imparts through ACIM is the role of the Holy Spirit as our guide. Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit is a helper sent by God, and ACIM further encourages students to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit in all their decisions. It underscores the importance of turning inward and attuning ourselves to divine guidance in our journey toward spiritual awakening.
Conclusion
To conclude, ACIM serves as a channel for Jesus's teachings, providing a roadmap to Heaven in our time. It encourages us to transcend our physical senses, practice forgiveness and love, and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit consistently. These teachings, deeply rooted in the wisdom that Jesus has imparted to humanity throughout the ages, offer a path for us to awaken to our true divine nature. My book, "Unschooling for Parents," provides further exploration into this spiritual journey.
