Why Did My Life Get Much Worse after ACIM? 😅 Help Me, David!! | A Course in Miracles Support

[@langdontomkins001]

I am a new kid on the block as I have only been a student since 2017. EGO didn't like me being a student one bit. Since 2017 I have yet to meet another student locally and for a long time I felt quite alone but not any more. I am doing OK. I watch what other students and teachers are doing and am surprised at how so many never mention forgiveness. To me it is the key to the door. Jesus mentioned it at a key instant of what was left of his mission and here we are 2000 years knowing he said "Forgive them they know not what they do" and then ACIM shows up and it explains why that phrase is so important yet no one talks about except Mr Renard maybe. Can't see the wood for the trees seems apt. Keep the good work folks.

I found a passage yesterday from the text that also talks about this, it's from the chapter 24, end of section 2: "The key you threw away God gave your brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready to accept His plan for your salvation in the place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save through the sight of all your misery, and the awareness that your plan has failed, and will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel now, yet it is but illusion of despair. The death of specialness is not your death, but your awaking into life eternal. You but emerge from an illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as God created you."

I am so thankful for this video. I couldn't understand why I was feeling worse since I had started the course. I am on Day 127, and many a time, I thought I should stop. Then I remembered, this course you believe it 100% or nothing. And I had chosen God's ways when I started the course so I carried on. Thank you David for this video and your explanation.. Your support is so needed in my journey. Blessings always

[@gonzalolever5569]

I REALLY REALLY appreciate David and his ministry for his focus on the NEED to go through this intense shedding process of unconscious guilt. There unfortunately are very few preachers and teachers of the Course who even remotely approach this topic of what it takes to bear down, shed and confront our deepest fears. The ego has slipped into the ACIM community very sneakily as this message needs to be out front and center not hidden in routine and comfortable rituals. Thank you all deeply!

"Your mind starts to devalue the things of the world ... You value your connection with God more than you do the things of this world." Good God have I experienced this over many years and still am. Letting go, as the world sees it, of a professional career and the aspirations of your family and your own is not in the least easy. But it has always felt like it is what I needed to do, since I started the Course many years ago. The world and most whom I know just don't understand and think I'm crazy or lazy or something. But God is guiding me Home and that is all that matters. Thanks for your example David.

Yes, I feel too I'm being guided home and that's all that matters even when the world thinks I'm crazy or losing ambition. It feels that my path is unfolding as it should and I have peace even if logically to the ego mind it seems very crazy. Thank you Doug for sharing

[@Tappingforbalance]

God does not do anything to us. He loves us. Everything we experience is a result of choices we have made using our free will, either here or at the soul level. Everything comes from within nothing else is real. I am in my third year and continue to move towards love and away from fear. Learning to tame the ego is not easy and I still fall down the rabbit hole. But I am getting better at discerning Me from me - Blessings to All.

[@bpprovit]

That is a very good point not talked about enough. Discernment which is a form of "judgement" but one is using it from the Holy Spirits perspective which is "non-judgment". And we begin to be able to distinguish between the ego voice and the Holy Spirits Voice.

[@keven1256]

11 years ago when I started studying and practicing forgiveness with the Course, my life was pretty sad and 8 years later (or 3 years ago) it turned into a nightmare. My only dream was to share a life with a loved one and now I have no hope for it. It's dead forever. I don't know the future but it's truly how I've been feeling for the last 3 years. This outside world is hopeless, success is built on others' failures and winners make losers. It will always be that way. We have to realize this to see the value of God's love I think. So, my only choice left is to join with Jesus. Still, my physical life is very lonely, I'm 39 and I've been single for 17 years now but I feel calm most of the time, my relationships are healthy and since last year, my dreams at night can be very profound and beautiful. That's where hope stands, in the mind with the Holy Spirit. Thank you David.

[@charlie29321]

Loneliness is definitely an issue with the course. I don't personally know any course students. Acim is very unpopular where im from. And I don't want to go to study groups. I just want to hang out with acim students under normal conditions.

[@keven1256]

@@charlie29321 Just to be clear, I don't blame the course for my loneliness, it helps me to cope with it. The more I forgive, the more I feel empathy for everyone and the more I feel united. I would've been lonely anyway cause my body is on the wrong side of duality in too many ways... but hey, I wrote the script so I'll have to forgive myself for my sad life so I can hopefully leave in peace one day.

A Course in Miracles saved me. The main thing that changed so much was asking the Holy Spirit to change my focus from my lower egoic mind to my upper mind. I do it as often as I feel the effects of the lower mind. I don't have much time left on earth and letting Gods love in was tough. A Course in Miracles helped me on this journey. He has never given me more than I can truly handle, hard as that seems to believe. God is.

I think I'm finally learning why this is happening and why I was struggling with it so much before. I think that surrender is completely mandatory in this process.

The more we value the things of this world, the more doing the Course seems like pain and loss. I think those who are already dissatisfied with the world are the ones who find the Course. The ‘loss’ then seems less and less painful. This world offers nothing I value. I am doing the Workbook Lessons for the first time. Lesson 154 says, “I am a minister of God”. This is a long way from “Nothing in this room means anything.” I am all in. We develop trust; and we will not recognize what we have received (learned) until we share it. Thank you David.

[@bpprovit]

Very good points. I just heard recently that the Gnostics did not value the body at all. And they had to hide their manuscripts in caves, the famed Dead Sea Scrolls.

[@llbean6931]

But didn’t we desire to incarnate into the physical for the express experience of all of this?

[@bpprovit]

@@llbean6931 depends on what one believes. Some doing extensive studying of NDE's and people with Pre-life Memories, say that there is some coercion to come down here. And that most beings do not want to come down here, but that they can be goaded into doing so.

[@glenndespres5317]

Accord to ACIM yes we did. But it was a split mind that sought escape from God that did so. Mistakenly believing it had achieved separation from God. Not possible.

[@llbean6931]

@@bpprovit Interesting. I’ve heard countless NDE accounts but never one saying we were coerced into coming here. I’ve heard non NDE theories about the “ soul/reincarnation trap. One NDE experiencer (30 day coma) said that we chose to come here but not for “ lessons” but for a very difference experience such as contrast. The lesson business never made sense to me.

[@omegaconstantinidis]

It's the 12-step program. The 12 steps of the hero's journey. The 12 labors of Hercules. The 12 archetypes, represented by the 12 tribes of Israel in the OT and the 12 apostles in the NT, even the 12 zodiacal signs. Im sure im missing some important 12's haha. Im curious if that 12 pattern manifests in ACIM at all. Trials and tribulations, as well as triumph, are associated with all of these in some form or fashion. My point is that studying the connection between all of those 12 patterns can give insight ACIM causing discomfort -- all part of the journey. Growth aint comfortable! Exaltation doesnt come without trials and hellish times. Have been experiencing my own personal hellish times recently, as i ran into a true fundamental by-the-book Christian (he renounces all denominations, follows "The Way") in the moddle of the woods, at night, at a "New Agey" music festival. It has incited an existential reckoning within me, as parts of my Christian upbringing are being unearthed. I am suddenly questioning if the Course is deception, whereas prior, I saw strongly how the Bible could easily be a product of the projections of man's ego consciousness. The question "IS the Bible the infallible Word of God?" has been in my mind a lot. I very clearly have hit a fork in the road. Despite an existential crisis, and regardless of which direction I go, I recognize that this is all part of the process and ultimately a very good thing -- it has caused me to research EVERYTHING more deeply, especially the Bible and its history. From both an apologist standpoint and a skeptic/neutral standpoint. My entire run with the Course thus far, I've supplemented it with Scripture, but because of this very strange "chance" encounter with a more classical Christian, I'm dissecting everything more deeply. It's uncomfortable being in this middleground existential position, but I know it is getting me to where I'm going. No matter which way I cut it, Atonement will ultimately prevail. If you reply to this please @tag me or i almost certainly will never see it. Would love to banter on this though with anyone who has thoughts! God Bless!

"There has got to be a better way." as Helen said to Bill. I agree with Martine, I have felt worse since practicing The Course. It seems so dark compared to other teachings of awakening. Nisargadata just focused on "I am" for a few years and became self realized. Ramana Maharshi just thought he was dying (lol) and experienced self realization. Mooji's teachings of emptiness seem a lot lighter and he discusses pretend good and evil and consciousness is playing a game. For me, it's hard to reconcile that the world was created (by me) to cover up self hatred and guilt and have to live in the world at the same time. It seems pretty harsh. There has got to be a more loving approach to heal the mind. I don't know if I am interpreting the Course incorrectly or not, but it seems to me like it enhances the split by making the "ego" evil and the other part of the mind good. Is this a misunderstanding? This is what seems dualistic to me and what I struggle with.

[@DavidHoffmeister]

Hi Misty, The "ego" was the error, and the right mind is the Correction, the forgiveness, the remembrance of the Light. Creation is eternal and only appears to be covered over by linear time-space perception (temporary images and symbols believed, fictitious, dualistic, passing). Saints and sages have experienced glimpses of Light. Self-realization requires deep and sustained devotion and commitment. Blessings, ~David

[@RandomBloke007]

I agree! Why is it so dark!?

[@marnigu3519]

Yes, the course might seem to enhance a dualistic view. But instead it is just pointing out our! untrue believes we feed unconsciously about an illusionary dualism, so we can become conscious of them in order to forgive and not believe any longer in them and see everything as one, as I am.

Maybe its because we don't have free will, your not the doer, everything just happening

[@bpprovit]

I talked to a lady once who I was ride share driving. She studied people "choice" making and the idea of free will. She said that a large % of choices that humans make are automatic choices for humans, conditioned responses from a "trained" subconcious mind. She said they were dectecting maybe 10% was "free will" or "free choice" oriented. So technically she said we have free will but it makes up a small % of our actual choices we make in this world. Which would explain a lot about this world and how it is conditioned.

[@ravanti5780]

Vacillating between a "ME" and just being, when i revert back into the "ME" it feels so awkward, so disfunctional, like wearing clothes that aren't in style or simply no longer fit, i find my self saying or doing something and theres a presents watching and saying thats not who you are thats not whst you meant to say or do, i sometimes feel like a emotional bull in a china shop can anyone relate to this experiencing, message in a bottle?

[@bpprovit]

@@ravanti5780 from my understanding thus far. The actual whole being of which we are apart of is what Jesus was manifesting on earth, "The Christ". That is why the Lords prayer states "Thy Kingdom come Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven". So when we are seemingly in the ego part of our mind and listening to the ego voice in our heads, this is not our True Voice, the True Voice is still and quiet. Its as if this world was made as a veil to distract and create problems so we do not turn back to Love. Quite a perdicament if you ask me. But this is also why Jesus said you must Forgive everyone and everything in order to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. This also releases us from self imposed guilt and guilt we use to try and control others.

Does the Bible help you overcome fear and suffering? It doesn't seem to help me.

[@JLthatCracka352]

@@charlie29321 absolutely it does... sometimes you just have to look at things differently. Just put all that fear & suffering on Him, He'll take it all off ur shoulders. 💯💪🏻 🙏🏻🙌🏻✝️🙌🏻🙏🏻

@JLthatCracka352 ACIM teaches the same thing. Students are encouraged to give all fear and suffering to the holy spirit.

Seems like a lot of discarnate adepts are attracted to these teachings. I’ve never seen so much occult magic happen since studying this.

"A theoretical foundation such as the text provides is necessary as a framework to make the exercises in this workbook meaningful. ²Yet it is doing the exercises that will make the goal of the course possible. ³An untrained mind can accomplish nothing. ⁴It is the purpose of this workbook to train your mind to think along the lines the text sets forth. (ACIM, W-in.1:1-4)" To reiterate: It is doing the exercises that will make the goal of the course possible. Someone in distress is far from peace, love, miracle. The indulgence in reaction, the conversion about any or all proof that distress is either justified or understandable, amounts to nothing more than validation of fear/ego. You got fear, you got distress, DO THE LESSONS. Anything else is a choice to strengthen ego and prolong fear, disease, separation. Simple as that. You don't "do the course", you do the lessons. Miracles are involuntary. No way to make them happen. Trying to make it happen , expectation for it to happen, is the illusion fostered by ego that it has some power. Ridiculous. Ego is not alive. It is not conscious. It has no life or power or consciousness. It is an outgrowth of the agreement that illusion/separation is real. You got pain, suffering, distress? Choose again.
