The Insanity of Being Well-Adjusted to Society: Exploring ACIM Podcast Ep. 69

[@francesayres]

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change. My understanding of what I am praying for is to accept that I can not change that I am one with god/love. To accept that I can not change that. The courage to change the times I can……my mind. This prayer is very much in line with the course for me.

I remember a relationship expert once saying that most intimate relationships are where two people try to make their neuroses fit well together.

[@CircleOfAtonement]

😂❤️ When we can look at ourselves with honesty and remove our judgement, seeing each member of a relationship for what they are in Truth, within, everything changes. While it may be a process of undoing, nothing in this dream can change what is within us ❤️

Why everything iin nature is about adjustment? Why when something doesn’t fit in it has little chance to survive? We humans just follow this natural instinct. Is it why we have more complex psyche to overcome this instinct, that fear of dying and extinction? Is there the error of our perception in evolution theory? Or we have a responsibility and capacity to transform things by changing our perception and therefore our actions?

I think we hugely underestimate our agency and power - how much we each co-create and co- contribute to everything around us - ‘society’ and everything in it was co-created by all of us together

Thank you! Jesus is the shortcut because he shows that insanity can lead to sanity...if we see the harm that the insane ego brings. Nor does it bring it just into this life. As eternal beings, it could take many lives of suffering. Who but the insane would want to go thru this, needlessly, so many times? The Holy Instant and Atonement help end time and bring eternal Heaven.

[@bingowings113]

...ok..question...WHO or what put the 'idea', or notion, or thought into our mind that this perfect world needed adjustment? Our thoughts come from divine source don't they?

[@CircleOfAtonement]

Not all of them. We are free to think thoughts of the ego as evidenced by the world around us.

[@bingowings113]

@@CircleOfAtonement not all of them? What does that mean.

[@CircleOfAtonement]

@@bingowings113 We have many thousands of thoughts per day. Not all of them are pure.

Is being well adjusted something that stems from the ego?

[@4give5ess]

If adjusting yourself to an insane world then yes, it stems from the ego.
