A Course in Miracles: The Road to Correct Freedom

We function so difficult at becoming “greater people”, at gaining larger intelligence and more skills. We want to be loved more and be much more popular. The whole self-help business is dedicated to increasing the self in order to become a better you. That is yet another trick we privately enjoy on ourselves, considering we have to help keep rotating our wheels attempting to become better. That self-improvement game is yet another key we could to master to release of. It's very calming whenever you start to understand that you don't need to become much better than you already are. You're made perfect. It's not through self-improvement that you will find peace but through self-acceptance.

As I worked with A Program in Wonders, I possibly could see that there clearly was a concern with heavenly love in my mind. I recognized this was the ego's anxiety about dropping itself. The vanity is scared of being a course in miracles and being regarded as a puff of nothingness. That is driving a car of intimacy. We speak about that fear in associations, which may also be expected as concern with sexual intimacy, but it's actually an anxiety about losing our persona, our mask of individuality. It's worries of getting swept away by way of a glorious love, a love so strong that nothing folks may also imagine something as glorious and powerful!

For me personally, those would be the huge techniques, as it doesn't start off with this specific great awareness. It always starts with emotion like you have done something amiss, whether you have masturbated, taken anything, mistreated some one, or there is anything in your thoughts that you've judged as so hideous that that you do not actually want to manage it, you only want to overlook about this and force it out of awareness.

Underneath those memories and feelings, could be the belief that we are separated. Here is the “secret” we hide. It truly is an impossible belief, but we believe it is true; We've evaluated it as dreadful and have pressed it out of awareness. All unconscious shame comes from that opinion in separation. And as you probably give yourself over to the miracle, you feel all those hidden values and secrets are now being rinsed out and you eventually face that hidden belief in separation!
