BootCamp in Miracles

Generally speaking, my lifelong healthy lifestyle has been my ankle of Achilles as past associations and deep-rooted beliefs are like quicksand. The more we identify with personal concepts or by what billions of people believe in, the deeper we get sucked into the illusion. Yet, a deeply engrained belief system does not make it true. Salvation (freedom, awareness) is the escape from all the false concepts we hold. The logging for balance can become a trap from the ego towards this letting-go to attain self-realization. The One Mind of God is all there is, everything else is a distraction, but we can surely be guided gradually out of our beliefs and personal preferences. The Course is a wonderful tool to guide and encourage us to remove the obstacles to the Divine Love’s presence. All we are asked to do is be willing to see differently and see all illusions for what they are: a concept in the mind. The fundamental process to ‘see the false as false’ referred as Forgiveness in the Course is very different from the ordinary impression that someone did us wrong and we forgive the other person, as ‘better’ human beings. The ‘true forgiveness’ – and the fundamental idea of the Course - is about remembering the holographic nature of reality as mental projections of our inner state. When we consciously acknowledge this, we start disempowering the dynamics of the ego and how the reflections of our inner state affect us. Neuroscience researches recognize all we feel and perceive is first a stimulus in the brain! Keep in mind the eyes do not see. We are not looking but making up images, inside our brains, from the programmed beliefs. As we go deeper into unified awareness, we realize that the mind tells the body what to see, what to hear, what to feel, and what to experience. Gradually becoming aware of the unreality of all situations (dream state), one starts to wake up. The road to awakening is through this kind of forgiveness; it is about consciously releasing personal thoughts and false beliefs based on guilt and fear we use to give meaning to this world. When we forgive and see the false as false (true vision) we allow the correction (atonement). The instant we recognize this (holy instant) we experience the consequent miracles. Miracles are but a change in the mind, a change in perception. The more we withdraw all the meanings we assign to the world (forgive), the more vision we attain. Forgiving the falsehood we remove the psychological shadows of the ego system. With less shadows (judgments), more light is projected from within; as more light is projected, more miracles are experienced. A messenger (Holy Spirit/ Higher Self) knows we got trapped in a nightmare full of scary symbols, all based on an ontological subconscious guilt. The HS is a presence in the mind to remind us there is no objective world outside this guilty consciousness projecting a dreamingly psycho dramatic reality. The HS recaps we never split apart from God and we still as (S)He created us – pure, divine and innocent. As we (as prodigal sons) deliberately will and allow its intervention, the HS acts as a bridge back to our divine source while guiding and whispering to us to wake up. This is a brief summary of what the Course and its curriculum encompass.
