Welcome

Welcome to The Unlearning School. The site is about working with A Course in Miracles: for more about the Course and further links, see below.
A Course in Miracles is a complete course of learning for any individual to study in private for their own relief and enlightenment. The purpose of the commentaries here is to clarify my own thoughts about the Course and to invite further consideration of this profound and beautiful work.
Some of the ideas ... you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter ...You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.
Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.

No without Guilt


Next workshop coming up, on Saturday 7th February - note for this month only, the workshop is on the first Saturday in the month instead of the second as usual.

Workshop 5: No without Guilt

  In this workshop we will look at how and why we say No. We will chew over rejections and corrections, tantrums and disappointments. We will consider why we think we have to buttress a No with anger and accusation, or butter it with apologies and excuses. And we will see why No is not the opposite of Yes.

Specifically, the workshop will include:
  • Why we feel guilty when we say No
  • Why the world opposes us at every turn
  • Authority: why coercion never works
  • How (not) to correct errors in someone else
  • How (not) to correct errors in yourself
  • Temptation: the cure that always works
  • How (not) to change the world
  • What it means to 'deny the denial of truth'
  • How No becomes Yes
 At least, that's the plan so far.
See you soon! Or if No - some other time.

With love,
Anna
