The Unlearning School: May 2012

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.

This Saturday 12^th May the next workshop is The Alien in the Mirror: forgive your self.

Look again at the person you seem to be. Who is the ‘you’ in the mirror, in the photo album, in other people’s image of you? Why are we so prickly about offences to our pride, so anxious about appearances, so mortified by our mistakes? Forgive your failures and your limitations, your insidious self-centredness and the person you wish you were or were not.

It is not you who are so vulnerable and open to attack that just a word, a little whisper that you do not like, a circumstance that suits you not, or an event that you did not anticipate upsets your world, and hurls it into chaos (T24 III). So who are you, who is the ‘you’ the Course is talking to?

This workshop will be more hands-on than usual, so bring your notebook and be prepared to leave your past behind…as, by the way, two of you did with your umbrellas last month. You must have been missing them!

See you soon.
