RE: The other option to view the world [ACIM Series Part 5]

in #spirituality7 years ago

Thank you for your detailed comment @monstroz!
Jesus as a symbol for Truth is used in ACIM in a different way as in Christianity - that's why religion is viewed differently too. Nothing in ACIM has to do with faith - it's a totally experiential course. Regarding the tags, I just have to find ones, that fit here. If you asked me, what I write about has nothing to do with philosophy per se - it's all a direct experience and has very little to do with thinking. So the tags are just for practical purposes...
And about the Ego. From the courses perspective it's not a super-villain, because it doesn't really exist. The ego is imaginary and therefore also not bad, sinful or an enemy - it is just an insane belief ;)
Yes, we all suffer from this insanity - actually this insanity is the only reason, why we are "here" in this dream. The ego as used in ACIM, is the symbol for the imaginary separation from God.
No need to demonize something, that is not real - you would just give it more reality than it has.

Thank you for your compliments - I do appreciate them very much!
