A Course In Miracles Is Amazing

[RisingLane]

It took me a long time to get into this book. The text is incredibly dense, but I'm finally beginning to enjoy it—in fact, I'm absolutely blown away.

Quote

What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it up? What if you realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly unreal? Could you have faith in what you see, if you accepted this? And would you see it?

If you have found this book challenging, I encourage you to keep going. ACIM is the Moby-Dick of spiritual literature.

ACIM is an absolutely toxic book. Its author, the psychologist Helen Schucman, suffered from severe depression and anxiety. The book is supposedly a channeling of Jesus Christ through her.

Upon reading it, you realize that the entire work is a form of escapism, fleeing reality for a better one. The problem is that it sounds appealing. It offers siren songs that trap you in a fabricated duality between the divine and the human, the Father and the Son.

Schucman remained unhappy until her death from cancer; she never resolved her depression nor did she manage to perform a single miracle.
