Numerous near death experiences, the gospels, and portions of Robert Monroe's Ultimate Journey. I also found Howard Storm's youtube videos inspirational.
I can't say I feel the same about Conversations with God (?) and ACIM. I especially believe this is so when it comes to ACIM. Numerous things have told me it is a course that has been set up so it will deceive people if they allow it to do so. This fact doesn't go away, simply because there are people who won't take the time to discriminate it. People defend all kinds of things.
You know how there are skeptics who won't consider positive evidence, such people only hear what they want to hear? There are also skeptics who won't consider what some people have to say about ACIM, they only hear what they want to hear, and then share their confusion with other people.
Why would somebody want to be involved with a course that fraudulently claims to come from Christ, when they can receive guidance from Christ himself?
No I'm not a fundamentalist who is opposed to anything outside of the Bible. Please notice that I mentioned NDEs and Robert Monroe's book. However, fortunately, I took the time to find out what ACIM is about, rather being taken in by repetitive pithy statements.
I believe what's important is that regardless of what source we read, we should make certain it assists us rather than define us.
If I sound a bit blunt, all I can say is that I can't tell you how upsetting I find it that people try to push ACIM on other people, when they haven't made a serious effort to discriminate it. A day will come when they will find that they misled people, no matter how unwilling they are to admit it today. Everything we do either positive or negative, will eventually be revealed to us.
