Powerful learning points
1. What we judge on others, it is a disowned part of ourselves.
2. When you react to a projection, you become the projection.
3. If you don’t deal with your shadow, it will deal with you. Example, if you like to eat a lot and become fat, that habit of eating is your shadow, and growing fat is now dealing with you or harassing you, meaning causing you serious health problems which will adversely affect your life or even your life span.
4. As we move through our shadow, we can then reclaim our light.
5. If we reject our own Reality, the Reality will war against us. Remember our Reality is Pure Love, Joy and Peace, but if we are NOT loving, joyful or peaceful in our life, then we are at war with ourselves. How foolish it is!
6. What does not kill us make us stronger.
7. The “Gold” that we seek is hidden in the dark.
8. We all have a divine recipe.
9. Shame can devastate our sense of pride.
10. The greatest gift of forgiveness is we free ourselves.
11. To accept fully who you are.
12. No one is a prophet in his/her own country.
13. All of us are mortal beings, that is why mortality is part of us and we must be aware “time is NOT on our side”!
14. The concept of Rule No. 6, i.e. don’t take life so seriously. Drama in life is constantly a series of never-ending illusion, and only you perceive the drama as big or serious.
15. “You are your own Guru”, you must believe it yourself. No one is your Guru. People can only guide or coach you, they can’t teach you because you are the source of your own infinite and eternal intelligence of possibilities.
16. If you say it is holy, then it is holy. If you say it is unholy, then it is unholy. If you say today is holy, then it is. As you say so, so it is. If you say you can do it now, then you can do it now. But if you say you are NOT ready yet, then you are truly NOT ready yet. Your mind will decide everything for you. Thoughts create reality.
17. “Birds of the same feathers flock together”, this means people/beings of the same type/frequency will always gather together as a group/herd. Thus, right-minded people will always gather and attract each other. On the other hand, negative-minded people will attract similar people. As an example, ACIM people are right-minded people who meet together once a month.
18. The whole course of ACIM can be briefly summarized in the following manner:-
i. All issues in the world come from SEPARATION. We only see separation in our life. We must constantly remember that there is no separation. Everything is an extension of you. You have it all within you as you are the unified fields.
ii. We are here to REMEMBER WHO WE ARE. Everyone in our space is a reflection of us. You love others you love yourself, and you hurt others you hurt yourself.
iii. We have only one true emotion in our life, i.e. our True Self (or Pure Love). We seek pure love to replenish love. We have forgotten we are love and we are light in the brilliant light, and therefore we need darkness to realize that we are indeed light. That is why our life is full of darkness and this is to prove to us again and again that we are light. Even then, we are still asleep to dream that there is no light.
iv. In our illusionary world, we experience great joy and great pain. When we remember we are light, we are in great joy, but when we forget we are light, we are in great pain.
v. Anything that is NOT expressing love, we cannot be at peace with ourselves. Similarly, when we are NOT in alignment with ourselves, we are NOT at peace or happy. The more unified with what you are, the more you remember who you are and the more conscious of your True Self.
vi. You are indeed the first recipient of your gratitude. Today we must be more loving than yesterday. ACIM focuses on MIRACLES. Your life today must be more miraculous than before as you learn ACIM.
vii. What then are MIRACLES? Not mystical/magical miracles as many people think! ACIM defines MIRACLES in 50 ways, but the most significant definition is “Every expression of LOVE is miracles”. Love understands itself. Simple words like “thank you” are expression of love. In fact, expression of love can be in so many different ways.
viii. Remember that when you express love, never take away free-will of others. Highest expression of love is to allow others to exercise free-will choice.
ix. Everything in life has no meaning except for the meaning you give to it. Since you have full power to give meaning to anything in your life, why not then you give the highest joy to it, unless you don’t love yourself. If you truly love yourself, why not give joy and peace as the meaning for anything in your life?
x. Our spirit is pure love which is also pure joy and peace. To remove our shadow, we must focus on light to shine on it.
xi. Our insanity is because we have temporarily forgotten who we are. Love and fear are inversely proportionate to each other. When love goes up, fear must come down proportionately and vice-versa. When we are in fear we forget who we are. The more we fear, we more we feel lack.
xii. Nothing is joined except for the minds. Bodies can’t be joined unless the minds are joined. Our face is the mirror of our thoughts.
xiii. Religion without love is like food without nutrition. Every encounter is a holy encounter. When you remember who you are, you will also remember who he is/she is.
xiv. Purpose of body: biological purpose (used or not used in life). Real purpose of body is to help/serve me to remember who I am. Thus we must take good care of the body to serve the highest purpose.
xv. Jesus said “Be in the world and NOT of the world” i.e. don’t attach to the world. He also said “Love your neighbors as yourself and to love everyone as much as I love you”.
xvi. We forget that it is an error, and NOT a sin. Error in perception can correct whenever we remember it. If a sin can be made against god, the god is not whole. Majority of humans believe in sin and thus they are in darkness. Fear can’t exist by itself. Miracles undo fear. Fear e.g. superstition stop you from loving others. The world is teaching fear instead of love.
xvii. What is holy vision? It is seeing things with love, unity and strength. Always remember to smile.
xviii. When we empty our mind, we will open all possibilities in life.
xix. We can’t learn LOVE because we are already LOVE itself! LOVE is our natural inheritance. The opposite of LOVE is FEAR. If you can feel threatened, it is NOT real. Don’t give power to unreal because things you fear do not exist!
xx. If I defend myself, I am attacked. Nobody can attack you; it is YOU who attack yourself. No one can suffer loss unless it is his own choice/decision. No one suffers pain except his choice elects this state of mind for him. Life has suffering but NOT life is suffering. All sufferings come from attachments and resistance to let-go.
xxi. You don’t have to believe in GOD because you are IT already.
