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.

Where do you go for help?



Only You Can Save the World!

 One last chance to save the world! Or at least to join us on Saturday 7th June for the last workshop in the current series.

Workshop 6: Where do you go for help?



I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help (Psalm 121). Or, more probably, you will google the problem first, or phone a friend.

 In this workshop we will consider when and why we need help, the many kinds of help we look for, and our attitude to getting or giving help. We will explore what helps - for help of the wrong kind can be worse than no help at all - and what that tells us about how we can best help others.  

What resources do you have in your own 'problem-solving repertoire', or tool kit of practice? Who are your personal helpers? Do you remember to use them when you need to? We tend to fall back on familiar strategies...but do they really work? We are curiously reluctant sometimes to ask for help, or to recognise it when it is offered; or to abandon old comforts that no longer work and look for better solutions.

 We each have our own recurrent problem for which there seems no satisfactory or lasting answer, our personal dragon to slay or burden to carry. And while we may know exactly what other people ought to do, we have all experienced the helplessness when nothing seems to work and there seems to be no way out of a problem. Where do you go for help then?
