RE: How to achieve Inner Peace [ACIM Series Part 3]
Wow, there's a lot more behind this than I had previously thought. It sounds like you use the word guilt to refer to the concept of Maya. That's certainly an interesting way to look at things that I hadn't thought of before. I don't know if that word really feels proper though. The illusion is so beautiful, I surely don't want to associate it with the word "guilt". I will try to pay attention to your posts and follow your line of thinking to understand better.
Thanks for the reply.
Indeed, there is lots more behind the Course than we think - it's the deepest message I came across since my spiritual search started many years ago, ans-I discover new pearls every day.
It's also the most radical one, because it contradicts everything our Egos thought system is made of. In the end, it describes exactly, how our Ego works and offers the exact opposite thought system.
It doesn't take away the choice though! This is a very important point, I'm about to write about in the next part of the series.
It basically offers you two totally different thought systems and tells you: "Now that you know them, it's up for you to choose!".
This would be my short summary of what ACIM is all about.
And I hear you... Yes, the illusion seems to be so beautiful, and from my experience, as long as Maya appears beautiful, there will be no motivation to wake up. You will rearrange the furniture on the Titanic and keep the music playing. This is exactly, what the Ego promises us: to make things work and to accept things, that don't work.
ACIM is not here to tell us, that we have to dislike Maya (this is a trap our dualistic mind falls into) - but one thing can be said for sure: if you don't look with different eyes on the main causes of suffering in the world and you haven't reached a state of total disillusionment, you won't look for a different solution and a different way to see things.
So yes, ACIM is surely not for "everyone".
You know what...what I just wrote is actually already the perfect introduction for my next post! I'll copy it! Thank you! 😀
