A little more about ACIM. Is it possible that when a person reads a book, he or she might get connected to the energetic level this book is connected to?
The first time I opened the book while in a book store, the energy in my lower body area became really active. This has never happened before. Intially when I tried to read the course, I would see little demonic images mixed in with the words. For anybody who would suggest my mind was the cause, I had good intentions when I tried to read the course, and I haven't seen demonic images mixed in with the words of other books.
Reading the book would cause me to click out in an unpleasant way. This doesn't happen with other books. Justin found the same. I once provided a link where people from another forum also found the same.
Helen Schuchman had similar experiences. From Robert Skutch's book "Journey Without Distance - The story behind A Course in Miracles." (pg. 58):
"When Bill asked Helen that morning to read aloud what she had written so he could type it up, she could barely get the words out. Before she was halfway through the first sentence she began a coughing fit that lasted over five minutes. Then she had to keep clearing her throat as it seemed to be contnually filling wiht phlegm. After more than an hour, she had been able to dictate only the first eighteen principles, and Bill had to leave to keep an appointment...Bill was finally able to receive the fifty principles from Helen late that afternoon, after much stuttering, stammering, yawning and coughing on her part....The following morning was a repetition of the previous one. However, through the coughing, the sighing and the "inability to see my notes, Helen did manage to dictate..."
I'm not 100% certain about this, but I believe that I clicked out as I did plus experienced other effects, because my higher self/spirit guidance wanted to prevent me from getting brainwashed by the course. Nevertheless, I was stubborn about it, allowed myself to get brainwashed by it for a while, and through a dream my guidance agreed that I had become brainwashed for a while.
Perhaps it is worthwhile to note that Helen's governess (a Catholic) told her that favors could be obtained from God. Helen had never heard of this, and partly because she viewed God as a big Santa Claus in the sky, she became a Catholic for a while. When she didn't get what she wanted, she became disillusioned, and eventually reached the point where she believed that science had all the answers. She became very anti-religion, and became quite angry when spiritual beliefs came up.
It is hard to believe that Christ would choose a person with this way of being, as a person to dictate a long course that comes from him. It is possible to see, why such a person might attract the interest of an unfriendly being. The same is true with William Thetford, if he was in fact employed by the CIA as a mind control expert.
P.S. Juditha, sorry for doing this to your thread, but I believe that the last thing you need is to get involved with ACIM. If you ever consider doing so, I suggest that you pray to God and Christ first, and ask them if the course comes from Christ. If you receive the same answer I received a number of times, you'll be told that it doesn't. Shall we be humble enough to ask?
