ACIM Students and Spooky Happenings

There are, of course, no "unnatural" powers, and it is obviously merely an appeal to magic to make up a power that does not exist. It is equally obvious, however, that each individual has many abilities of which he is unaware. As his awareness increases, he may well develop abilities that seem quite startling to him. (M-25.1)

As a student of the Course, you learn that “mind” is not isolated to individual brains. As you do the lessons and open your mind to the Holy Spirit, the barriers you have erected around your individual mind may start to crumble. Some of the experiences I hear about (or have) as a student of the Course include an increase in “coincidences”; moments of clairvoyance or precognition; moments of leaving the world and being in the Light; time speeding up or slowing down; experiences of Oneness with others; automatic writing; automatic speaking; connecting with minds from another place and/or time; hearing the still, quiet Voice of God.

Be aware that when your mind opens it may not only be the Holy Spirit you hear at first. You may have to learn how to discern which is the Holy Spirit and which is some aspect of ego – yours or what seems like another’s from another place and/or time. You can be certain if the voice you hear is concerned with some aspect of the world rather than with awakening from it that it is not the Holy Spirit.

They may not seem like it at first, but these experiences are normal. They will eventually become the “new normal” for you as you get used to them. If you are frightened or unsettled you may contact me or reach out to other students who are also having these experiences.

Right. It's not that we suddenly develop extra-ordinary abilities. It's that our awareness increases as we allow obstacles to be removed from our mind, obstacles to awareness of the presence of Spirit, awareness of One Mind.

Carl Jung and Jane Roberts helped me to be aware of meaningful coincidences or synchronicity.

Jane Roberts taught me to pay close attention to what is happening in my world as an expression of the content of mind.

I am aware of knowing things that I should not be able to know.

Yes, the Voice for God is forever helping me to wake up, to not be walking through life like a sleepwalker.

I've had time slowing and thus eliminating the idea of it being 'linear" I was vaguely aware of a mist surrounding the Earth and I've had incidences of Claire-audience while back checking my life inventory. It startled me the first time I heard it, I was making a sandwich in the kitchen and as I was considering my motives from past events I suddenly heard a big booming voice that said "It was your self-centeredness" I instantly dropped my fork I was holding and effortlessly caught it with my left hand. After that there was blessed silence. I was blown away in awe, so these things do indeed happen.

Committed to the Spiritual Process

If you’ve been reading my blog/newsletter for the past few weeks then you know significant things have occurred in the life of this mind. Four years ago the ego (personal thought system) fell away. I didn’t realize it fully and I spent three and a half years personally in a rather barren place in this mind, though there was peace in the rest of my mind. I did feel done with the world, but I didn’t know what that meant. I just stayed with the feeling, wondering what would come next. The next thing arrived in this mind last summer with a subtle shift from emptiness to a delicious Spaciousness. This was followed by beautiful Golden Light, Love, and Joy filling the Space. Bewilderingly, an effect of this was a romance novel! From there, the Light and the shifts continued. During this time a client in Australia whom I have called Zelda in these articles, but whose real name is Hannah, became a friend as well. We grew closer over several months and began to experience a lot of sync...

Ask: What is meant by "extend Love"?

I wonder exactly what is meant by "extend love" or how one extends love. Is it a loving intention toward the person, or a wish for them, or what? Can you give an example? – JO “Extending love” means replacing unloving thoughts in your mind with the awareness of Love in your mind. For example, your peace of mind is disturbed while watching something on television. Your peace is gone because you believe that what you see is reality. You extend Love in this situation by turning inward to Truth (God), feeling Love’s Presence within you, and remembering that It, not the images appearing, is What is Real. It may take you a while to accept that only your own thoughts cause you pain. So at first you may feel that you need to extend Love “out there” to the images that seem to be causing you pain. Or you may extend Love to another who is sharing their painful story with you. You can do this by imagining the situation or the person in a Loving Light. Or you may use some other image to ...

Evolving Practice with ACIM

           The Course was dictated to two who had a sense of Spirit working in their lives. After all, they were taking down the Course itself! The Universal Christ Mind sought to develop and grow their awareness of Spirit through the lessons in the Workbook as well as simply in discussion with them, privately and through the Course . And for those who find the Course and already have an awareness of Spirit, even if only dimly, the Course functions in the same way. Through the practice suggested, they develop their trust in Spirit. But for many who come to the Course , the discernment of Spirit within has not yet occurred. For them, practice is the means of opening to the awareness and experience of Spirit. Those who do not understand this often feel frustrated and even angry with the Course for suggesting that they should be having experiences that they do not yet have. They feel that they fall short when they read the instructions and descriptions ...
