A Course in Miracles Zoom Meeting
San Jose, California
"Hear, then, the one answer of the Holy Spirit to all the questions the ego raises: You are a child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which he created as part of him. Nothing else exists, and only this is real. You have chosen a sleep in which you have had bad dreams, but the sleep is not real and God calls you to awake."
ACIM Chapter 6, section IV, paragraph 6

A Course In Miracles is a self-study book on enlightenment that was channeled in New York by an atheist psychologist - to her complete surprise. The coherence and sheer power of the material convinced her, eventually, not to keep it a secret. Now with over 3 million copies of this amazing book published, it is available at bookstores everywhere and on-line. It uses Christian terms and acknowledges Jesus as the author, but the student quickly recognizes the teaching is not typical Christianity. Rather, it is a spiritual journey to a personal awakening guided by this ascended mind from our history.
There are four parts to this 1300-page book. The Text is a theoretical discourse on how your own thoughts make the world you see and all the emotions you experience. It discusses the fundamental change of mind that will guarantee you peace and happiness -- the miracle -- which is a shift in perception from wrong-minded to right-minded thinking. It uses the analogy of a dream state to help you choose a happy dream in preparation for enlightenment, instead of further addiction to a dark and limited illusory reality of the world you see.
The Workbook is a one-year guide with 365 lessons to take you daily on a journey of choosing peace in your every-day world. They start with a bang:
Lesson #1 "Nothing I see means anything" and follows up the next day with reason:
Lesson #2 "I have given everything I see all the meaning that it has for me."
The Manual for Teachers is an 80-page discussion of terms. The Course describes a Teacher as one who lives in peace, teaches by example and sees the interests of others equal to his owne, not one who stands up and tells others what's what.
The Supplements discuss some basics of the Course in a summary way, covering Prayer, Forgiveness, and Healing as well as psychotherapy from a spiritual perspective. It describes first the wrong-minded approach to each, then the right-minded.
Free and open to the public. Join or leave and rejoin any time, or just stop by on a whim. The meeting is informal, and the room is super comfortable with loads of pillows (100?!) and only a few chairs. We start with a 10-minute topic introduction or meditation and finish with a group prayer. We have books free to use during class. There is no formal teacher, but a 30+ year student facilitator, and we usually have two or more very experienced students who can guide any questions to be answered by the book. Hear how it works from the room! We tend to laugh a lot because busting the ego can be so funny at times.
The purpose of the meeting is clearly to discuss the teaching of A Course In Miracles, as we all have learned this is the most consistent and powerful path we have found to enlightenment. Please note, we LOVE THIS MATERIAL and do not speed read through it -- we savor by discussing the wisdom therein and other places in the book that relate. The simple questions are the most important to answer, ever more clearly, for both beginners and advanced students.
