It was listed as a link on
http://www.rense.com recently, and some of you may have already seen it. I have absolutely no idea whether or not there is any validity in it, and in all truth, I have no dog in this fight, (possible poor analogy). When I read ACIM years ago I was somewhat bored with it, but certainly will not deny the possibility of its significant benefit to others who perhaps are more astute and tuned to those particular frequencies than myself.

hi and welcome to the board. I am a student/teacher combo of the Course since the mid 80's. It's a self study course/pathway. the premises are tested by the individual over a lifetime. The entire Course supports what is taught on this board regarding the belief systems and how what we believe becomes the premise for our life's reality outpicturing.
The are 50 fundamentals of miracles, which the reason I bring it up, you are totally correct there is nothing supernatural going on but what we qualify it so.
The course will say if a miracle is not happening, something has gone wrong.
To put it that way, brings a miracle, a change of mind really, into our lives by disclaiming there is anything supernatural, and therefore out of our reach to attain or accomplish.
While there are other pathways equally valid, the course will state it's teachers are not to defend it for that would be counterproductive to it's message. so of course I will not defend it but I may from time to time share what I learned, which helped me become more of myself, a more happy camper as it were.
so if you found it boring, that's because your makeup seeks another type of pathway; it seems you have a scientific mind and I respect that. I am trying to blend science and religion myself, and it takes a VERY long time! lol!
I have learned each pathway is unique, beautiful, and respectable. The transformational value it gave me was something within the soul, not unlike what the Christians of earlier time called being reborn. in spirit. This transformation is best seen from the actions of the person whether than what they communicate in words.
Amazing grace that saved a wretch like me, something to that effect, some here would understand. some would not. all is well. all will end up the same place eventually.
meanwhile, thanks for your post! love, alysia
btw, it does not brainwash, we can brainwash ourselves quite efficiently without the use of a book. the choice remains ours what to believe, what to not believe. In essence the course told me what I had suspected all along, I am love in essense. but I am not alone in this respect. All at their basis start out as love in essence, then it gets covered over by society's belief systems imposed on the young and we become conditioned to suffer. When we realize we are still as we were before coming here, we enter into the oneness of all paths, and all peoples, and all of planet Earth, and what she stands for as a place to manifest what is god.
thanks for the listen.
