To correct my Brother at the level of the world means nothing. It is an error of mind. What this means is, that if he does not teach the Course my way, etc., etc., for me to “offer” correction is an ego thought.
There is only one true correction. That is the one from the belief in guilt/unworthiness to the experience of innocence. A Course in Miracles states that, “No one comes to you by mistake.”

Most of our relationships are based on the belief that we are not whole, that we are missing some vital piece of ourselves, and that we can get that missing part if we just hook up with the right person. We seldom are aware, on a conscious level, just what it is that we are missing. So here we are with this fuzzy idea that something is missing and that someone else can complete us. I don’t know how we expect to find that missing piece when we don’t even know what it looks like.

The past two years we have been working on providing additional perspectives for each section of the Text of A Course in Miracleson the Pathways of Light web site. Recently we have put these perspectives in a new question and answer format. Below are questions and answers for Chapter 17, Section III: Shadows of the Past from Text pgs 354-357.
How do we hear the Holy Spirit?
Paragraphs one and two explain why it is so important for us to step back from our usual way of thinking and invite the Holy Spirit into our mind. We remember to do this when it fully sinks in that what we think we know about ‘reality’ is not true. Being a ‘know it all’ just keeps us a prisoner to the ego thought system of separation. To consistently hear Holy Spirit, who does know reality, we need to make it a regular habit of remembering, “Nothing I see… means anything.” (WB Lesson 1) and, “My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.” (WB Lesson 11)

In Chapter 17, in the first section, “Bringing Fantasy to Truth” we are reminded that “When you try to bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make the illusions real, and keep them by justifying your belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to teach that the illusions are unreal, and thus enable you to escape from them.” (T-17.I.5:4-5)

As I listened during today’s lesson, which is “Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation,” I asked, “What is salvation, Father? Tell me, that I may understand.” This is what came to me from Spirit:
Salvation is to be freed from illusions, from insane plans for survival, from investment in false dreams. Salvation is Love. When you accept the Presence of Love, the false falls away. In Love’s Presence, there is no cause (for guilt/fear) and no need for illusion or lies.

I did not consciously decide to write Unleashing Your Soul. It chose me. I say that because as much as I had the burning desire to write a book, when I first committed myself to writing one, the words simply did not flow. I often sat at my computer all day just barely producing a page or two. It seemed that I was trying to force something that was not yet ready to happen.
Part of my problem was that I felt like I didn’t have a clue about what I was doing. I wanted to be a writer, so I just wrote. Shortly after I began to write, the universe helped me to stumble across some spiritual writing workshops that helped me to improve my craft as well as connect me with a good writing coach. After I was about 60% done with my initial manuscript, I sent it to the coach and waited eagerly for his evaluation.

I had the most wonderful experience this morning with ACIM workbook lesson 71 that I wanted to share it with you. The lesson is Only God’s Plan for Salvation will Work.
The lesson focuses on the fact that there are two ways that we can perceive salvation. One belongs to the ego, the other to God.
The ego’s plan for salvation is based on the idea of “seek but do not find.” This concept causes us to always look for salvation in people, situations and circumstances outside of ourselves. Of course this plan does not work because it is in direct opposition to God’s plan which is by following His direction, we seek for salvation where it is: Within.
