True Value
To learn this course requires willingness to question every value that you hold. (T-24.in.2)
What you value is what you think is important. To be a serious student of the Course - to train as a teacher of God – means you have to accept you have not known what is important. Without consciously acknowledging it, you have valued separation from God. All your personal goals have been toward this end. Now you have to shift internally 180 degrees. On the outside your life may not look too different to others. You still have a job, friends, family, etc. But now your goal for all of your relationships is different. Now they are not about making ego feel safe and good but about transcending the personal and physical and remembering Oneness. You have no personal goals because now you have a purpose with true meaning that nothing in this world can approach in value.

That 180 degree shift happened in the summer of 1967 when Spirit lifted me up and set me down facing in the opposite direction.
It would be a long time before I understood what happened.
