Non-Duality and Reincarnation -Why You Should Escape the Illusion in this Lifetime

[@francisjudge]

Hi Simona, after spending a month with 'A Course in Miracles: Based On The Original Handwritten Notes Of Helen Schucman--Complete & Annotated Edition', I now regard the Original Edition to be a much more preferable and therefore effective version for a deeper contemplation. The footnotes although informative, did distract me from the main crux of the Course, and in hindsight, I would only have read the Annotated Edition after the Original. Good thing I have both!🙂

Yes, Francis, I find the same. I'm grateful that the COA edition exists, but I find the original edition is the one I keep referring to, whilst the COA one is good to sometimes read, it has a place in my practice as well.

Thank you, Simona! 🌟What I think is that you can't escape this Illusion World until you learn your lessons. There are young souls, old souls. What I noticed is that you are attracted to visit or live in countries you lived in your past lives for ex you in India. Many souls could be recycled from Hell. We are like in a Prison here brought to evolve and surpass our past lives mistakes. What do you think? Much Love 💖💖🌈🌈🌠🌠

Yes, ACIM teaches we can escape through forgiving what triggers us. As I'm doing this, I see this world more and more dreamlike, so I believe this is the way to dissolve its reality.

this is 0nly a test. 🤗

So it’s possible for this to be my last lifetime if I continue practicing forgiveness? I get confused because the script is already written and to my understanding I can’t wake up sooner before my time but I can still have a happy dream. Is this correct? Thank you

[@Leaving_TheMatrix]

The script is written but you choose which script you are viewing. The script of the Holy Spirit is a happy dream, and you choose it when you make forgiveness your only function here. Yes, therefore, this lifetime could be your last!

So, How can we dismiss the creation story and how sin is what causes death and disease. Is the OT not accepted teaching?

[@Leaving_TheMatrix]

OT is in no way compatible with ACIM.

[@cro888]

Well, sounds like ACIM is borrowing teachings from the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, which is more pure I would argue. It teaches that the one unchanging entity (Brahman) alone is real while changing entities do not have absolute existence. The world is Maya or illusion and only the Self is real. A person who realises this attains moksha (liberation of the soul).

I would recommend reading the book before forming such opinions, as such an opinion will serve as a lens to judge ACIM through.
