Many years ago my husband read this book three times while traveling on business. He told me about the lessons and how they helped him, especially through some bad times. Now I just picked his old book up and have started it.
I couldn't relate more to when Carol speaks about terrifying fear. I would be shot out of bed in the morning terrified about something I wasn't sure of. My heart would be racing almost hyperventilating! The fight or flight mode. I now understand how much the ego plays a role in fear! Carol is one of my first teachers along with David Hoffmeister and between these two I felt safe ♥️ If you can ease into ACIM, and try not to over think what's being taught you will do much better. Thank you and blessings for this helpful interview 🙏☮️
1:18 Somatic modalities, bottom-up approach 2:00 We're unclear about the source of our distress 2:50 Other people aren't causing your difficulties -- they are mirrors to show you what you're doing to yourself 3:08 YOU are responsible for your distress 3:32 You can't feel empowered if you also feel like you have to defend yourself (staying in your shell?) 4:28 (False) belief that we are a separate thing to be protected and promoted 5:15 The past isn't stored anywhere 5:25 Cause-and-effect is vertical, where you put your attention NOW 6:00 You can either protect and promote the ego, or follow your guidance, intuition, Holy Spirit 7:30 ACIM is uplifting as you go along 8:02 Stop focusing on distressing situation 8:21 Taking care of yourself is about being helpful to whoever crosses your path 9:21 I'm here only to be helpful 18:18 Bill Thetford 25:28 Be free of notions, judgments, grievances, and lack of acceptance 29:30 What accrues to you comes from the thoughts you think about others 30:43 Some people have addiction to guilt 32:35 Many feel unworthy, incapable, something the matter with them 33:28 We turn to addictions instead of healing/feeling 33:59 Stop being afraid of your emotions 34:45 Allow yourself to feel what you feel 38:14 False belief that we're not enough 38:25 You've always been enough
The message of being truly helpful came directly from Jesus to Helen Schucman, it was a conversation between them and it can be found ONLY in the Urtext version (first version with all the complete manuscripts) of the Course in Miracles. Jesus instructed Helen to tell Bill this prayer, because he had to attend a meeting. I copied what it reads "I am here ONLY to be truly helpful. I am here to represent Christ, who sent me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because the one who sent me will direct me. I am content to be wherever He wished, knowing he goes there with me. I will be healed as I let him teach me to heal." I share it as I apply it and I gave it to a friend who is having a conflict with her employee. I said to her to call upon the Holy Spirit and He will speak through you. Step aside and allow Him to guide you. I hope it helps you all. Blessings,❤ Mariana
I agree with what Carol says at “the power of the book”. The first time I got it even with years of spiritual experience, I knew and felt right away this was the book that will take me into “Angelhood”..
Everyone has to understand that we are all going through crap to get through life and as long as we realise that other people are also going through the same crap that we will begin to under stand.
So sweet, so profound, lovely exchange of mighty companions! Thanx so much, have been in love with ACIM since it first came out, and was a spiritual seeker for decades both before and after. Somehow I didn't grok about the 600 frequency even though I had read David Hawkins extensively, its amazing how things click over the years at different layers. This gives me more juice as I continue to sandpaper off so many rough edges of my ego hypnosis despite so much hard work on myself. there are daily discoveries of the brainwashing. Its important to know that this is a Lifeswork. Just because you hear the words to be loving you cannot paste this formula over your wounds, traumas and suffering. You have to allow spiritual help to heal the past by doing the work the Course entails ... otherwise you are going around virtue signaling and developing (as Keith Kavanaugh describes so well) and cultivating a "spiritual ego" which looks good but which makes you feel worse because to "act" loving will just make you feel at a deeper level "deceptive". It is currently en vogue to be more loving, "be the bigger person" but the homework to undo the ego mind has to come first, then the Love naturally shines through and is a palpable and delightful experience that comes through organically, without effort or pretense. WOW, two articulate lovelies!!!
Wow! Everything you said was exactly what I needed to hear and you said it so beautifully, it tied up stuff for me that kept coming up recently! Thank you for your helpful words. Sending you my gratitude and unconditional love.❤
This is absolutely the best video on A Course in Miracles that I have heard in my four years of practice. Thank you. I love Carol's videos, too. Follow your intuition. Perfect.
42:10 Fear/terror because of disbelief in what we really are ; fear that we have abandoned the truth 42:40 Worry/upset that we have lessened/defiled ourselves 42:58 There's nothing we can do that will change the amazing, brilliant, eternal truth of us 44:23 Be in the presence of the frequency 44:30 David Hawkins Map of Consciousness 45:35 We're carrying terror that we have ruined ourselves 49:04 We get all the help we need 49:22 Never blame anyone else. (Self) guilt is a killer 49:36 We aren't stupid or evil -- we're uninformed 50:25 There aren't bad people -- they've been taught inaccurate things 50:55 What you want for others is going to happen to you 54:17 Follow your intuition, even if your intellect doesn't understand 54:47 Wish well for everyone 55:26 Don't exclude people 57:35 Whatever happened in their past has nothing to do with right now 58:30 Stay in the moment 1:00:05 God is loving presence 1:01:13 God is love, kindness, gentleness, caring 1:01:53 The presence of God is the presence of you 1:03:00 Guilt is a culprit 1:03:25 People think if they punish themselves (with guilt) they can forestall worse punishment 1:03:43 But feeling guilty is like requesting to be punished, and it will be delivered 1:08:04 Follow your intuition and guidance 1:10:35 Follow your curiosity 1:11:32 Life becomes easier when you don't make decisions from ego/intellect 1:12:30 Jump into the unknown, where all the treasure is
Awesome interview! I found myself tearing up at the story of Bill Thetford as I was having the realization of what a magnificent person was. And what a gift, Helen and Bill gave us!
What a fabulous interview. The both of you are really good. I’ve learned so much and feel so much better. The high frequency of truth in this communication is appreciated. Be kind, be gentle, follow my intuition.❤❤❤
Yes at 32:40 the thoughts of being unworthy and stuff transfer onto the children, I think because we are all put into this state of money scarcity and stress that comes with our society and culture and it unwittingly damages the babies. I realize I feel unworthy and a money burden and that’s exactly what I’ve become as an adult, and I’m trying to learn how to delete that. I remember getting so mad when young, I was contemplating taxes, and it gets stuck onto you just for being born, and I was thinking how is that fair to be born someplace and have to pay for it. But I know what Jesus meant now when he said give to Caeser what is Caeser’s. And now I don’t care if it’s the Illuminati or whoever doing it to us, it’s truly not real, and it can be dissolved by my reaction to it, and I can start to manifest with a blank slate and use the abundance of the Holy Spirit. I can see it all already, but I’m a month into the course, but I’ve been working with this stuff for a while trying to diffuse it out and the course is linking it all together. I wish I would’ve started it sooner! Thank you!
A Right Mind supporting arrangement is my goal. My so-called unchosen kinds of 'people' are the mirrors showing me my psychosis that remains, revealing where I am in Left Mind support. There are no accidents. I pretended a cat to be well, now I've pretended he has a skin condition. The Left Mind supporting plot twist has failed however. I will pay close attention tomorrow, on the day that this plot twist brings about my altered actions due to this interesting turn of events. Who will be my transportation driver there and back, who will be sitting in the vet waiting room, and the conversations had throughout the visit. I will ask Holy Spirit to repurpose what was previously scripted support of impossible health and sickness, support of impossibly occurring opposites.
Wonderful interview with Carol indeed, may I ask you what version of the Course are you reading now because you said this version your reading now helped open the Course in a way it never has before Ty
It wasn’t actually about the version that made impact on me, it was the new level of consciousness that I am that made me interpret the course in a much deeper way. I read now the one from the Course of Miracles society with the pearls on the cover. But honestly doesn’t matter. I did tons of healing in the last 3 years, mostly around relational trauma, so there was more space in me to cone t with God, Truth, so the Course hits all the truth cords inside me. Thank you for your question !
Listening again ... I just noticed Carol said that Helen Shucman was a very sophisticated Eastern professor, but I think she meant East Coast/Western? not Eastern as Asia/India etc??? She taught in New York City.
Many years ago my husband read this book three times while traveling on business. He told me about the lessons and how they helped him, especially through some bad times. Now I just picked his old book up and have started it.
That's cool. 🎉 Itshelped me so much too. Male. 57. I hope you love iras much as I do. Just discovered ACIM just a year ago myself.

2:50 Other people aren't causing your difficulties -- they are mirrors to show you what you're doing to yourself

3:32 You can't feel empowered if you also feel like you have to defend yourself (staying in your shell?)
4:28 (False) belief that we are a separate thing to be protected and promoted
5:15 The past isn't stored anywhere
5:25 Cause-and-effect is vertical, where you put your attention NOW
6:00 You can either protect and promote the ego, or follow your guidance, intuition, Holy Spirit
7:30 ACIM is uplifting as you go along
8:02 Stop focusing on distressing situation
8:21 Taking care of yourself is about being helpful to whoever crosses your path

18:18 Bill Thetford
25:28 Be free of notions, judgments, grievances, and lack of acceptance
29:30 What accrues to you comes from the thoughts you think about others
30:43 Some people have addiction to guilt

33:28 We turn to addictions instead of healing/feeling
33:59 Stop being afraid of your emotions

58:30 Stay in the moment
1:00:05 God is loving presence
1:01:13 God is love, kindness, gentleness, caring
1:01:53 The presence of God is the presence of you
1:03:00 Guilt is a culprit
1:03:25 People think if they punish themselves (with guilt) they can forestall worse punishment
1:03:43 But feeling guilty is like requesting to be punished, and it will be delivered
1:08:04 Follow your intuition and guidance
1:10:35 Follow your curiosity

Thank you! She wrote a great book about Bill, audible is best.
I love Carol ❤
What a fabulous interview. The both of you are really good. I’ve learned so much and feel so much better. The high frequency of truth in this communication is appreciated. Be kind, be gentle, follow my intuition.❤❤❤
I think that so many people have this experience in ther lives but do not have time to process it. Life goes on,
Thank you so much!! I am so glad you felt the frequency.
Thankyou both. This is outstanding. Love always.
Thank you!! Blessings.
New student, feeling ready. The book arrives soon. Your questions of Carole and the interview of David Hoffmeister are on-fire, rich!
I appreciate this interview with Carol Howe. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it

Ah but is acim true? Very obscure
