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.

Take me as your model for learning


Saturday November 17th

Next workshop coming up!

Another major source of discomfort for students of A Course in Miracles can be its uncompromisingly Christian language. ‘This course comes to you in a language you know and love,’ it tells us, but these days in our secular European society few people love this talk of God and all those references to Holy Spirit, Atonement and so on. If the sheer size of the book and the depth of its psychology do not put you off, the embarrassment of studying a mind-training course with Jesus as your personal tutor is too much for most of us would-be sophisticates to know how to deal with.

But ‘words are but symbols of symbols’, and it is their meaning, not the names that matter. The course is for people of all religions or no religion. Although it uses the word more often than any other, you need not believe in God to learn the peace of mind and the altered viewpoint that the course offers.

In this workshop we will explore what this kind of language means to us, and look at how the course frees us from the emotional inheritance of two thousand years of Christianity. It teaches us to use whatever symbols we need until we can see beyond all symbols. It only asks us to question every value that we hold, to set judgement aside, and learn to trust our own inner teacher.
