 " If the script is already written, and the world is a projection of the false beliefs we hold in the mind, wouldn’t the script change as we are willing to allow our perception to change? Or is our perception already determined as well?, Is the decision to wake up from the dream already predetermined? If the only real choice we have is to choose the ego thought system or the Holy Spirit in each moment, wouldn’t that lead to very different scripts?” – TR   The material experience is an expression of the moment of the idea of not-God/the undoing of the idea of not-God—what A Course in Miracles calls the Atonement. (You can also call it time , ego-consciousness , existence, or illusion .). So, everything in your material experience— thoughts, feelings, choices, actions, etc.—is predetermined. Wherever your mind is in the process, whatever you think, feel, and do, expresses the Atonement perfectly. You cannot deviate from “the script.”   In the Atonement, it seems...

  “I’m having problems with understanding the concept of Self. The script is written. This is an illusion. Two definite facts. If the writer of the script is our Higher Self, who is the “I” who’s asleep and needs to be awakened? I’m confused.” - BS “The script is written” is a figurative way of saying everything that happens in the material universe is predetermined. No one really “writes” it; there is no intention behind it. It is a meaningless expression of a meaningless idea—the idea of not-God/the undoing of the idea of not-God. This unfolding story of time is what A Course in Miracles calls the Atonement . Your Self is God’s Extension, or Christ (Spirit, Son of God). You have never left God, but you seem to be unconscious (asleep) to your Self in God, so a part of your mind seems to be having a dream of time (consciousness, existence) and you seem to be living out a role in the Atonement. In the dream, as your mind seems split between Awake (Christ) and asleep (ego), ...

  “My study of ACIM seems to take me to the logical conclusion that most of what I do in my days is without significance. I mean the only true purpose is to wake up to reality, the world as I experience it is an illusion that is to be forgiven, but certainly not embraced. Yet in other places of the text I acquire the impression that there is a plan, a purpose for me. By ‘me’ I don’t refer to ego, rather to me as a spirit, an expression of God. Would you say the most correct understanding is to, as much as I am able, to focus on understanding what keeps me from waking up? All the rest to be minimized? That there is no other purpose or plan I would give attention to?” - RP   You are correct that what occurs in the material experience is without significance. The material unfolding is merely an effect, or expression, of what occurs in your mind. So, your material life is the least significant aspect of consciousness as it is pure effect and has no consequence.   ...

  Regarding your present perspective, how do you feel about the transliteration [sic] you did of ACIM — The Message of a Course in Miracles ? Has your view of any of it changed?” – RP My goal with the plain language translation was to bring A Course in Miracles’ message out from behind its loaded symbols and dense language. As my experiences since I shifted consciousness have only validated and further illuminated its message for me, I still feel I accomplished that. In fact, I sometimes marvel at what came through in the translation and my articles and books. This mind truly was an instrument of Spirit. >>>>>   If you have a question the answer to which you feel may be helpful to others, send it to Liz@acimmentor.com and I will answer it in this newsletter/blog.

  Hello, everyone, it has been a while! Over a year, actually. Fourteen months ago, I began this newsletter, The Christ in You , and said I felt it would probably be irregular…well, so it has been, but a bit more than I thought it would be!   If you wish to review the six newsletters/blogs I wrote last year, you can do so at www.acimmentor.blogspot.com. What they say is still valid and they will catch you up with where I am a bit.   As many of you know, I have been busy for a year and a half writing a memoir of my spiritual path from its start when I became a student of A Course in Miracles in 1984 up through my shift in consciousness in 2018 and beyond. It is near completion, and I will self-publish it in a few weeks, so stay tuned!   Here is the back-of-the-book blurb for A Memoir of Christ: A Student of A Course in Miracles Awakens :     A student and teacher of A Course in Miracles , a nondualistic path to inner peace, Liz Cronkhite ...
