Social Networking and (ACIM)

Social media is much like anything these days, i.e., projected thoughts using the content in the ego wrong mind. Online attacks locally to get a Course in Miracles (ACIM) are via the many comments, quotes and also other postings wherein we react to our interpretation which then becomes the justification for response (T-12.I.1) or our cause of posting, etc. All students use a basic confusion between form and content in addition to what it really way to join how about we not sugar coat it: Social media is forms (projected content of the ego wrong mind) from joining together with the wrong mind. Therefore, through the outset it is just a series of attacks until we forgive and begin identifying (joining) with the appropriate mind.

Even in this course, many of us sit around online by incorporating kind of a digital device mindlessly doing our ego thing. Okay, some could be standing, leaning or lounging:

Sitting around and referring to this course isn’t the ditto as doing the difficult work of checking out the text and putting the principles into practice to discover what are the Course means (Kenneth Wapnick, Rules for Decision).

Inside the same Rules, Wapnick also says, “What provides ego its power will be your having merged with it, your identification by using it.” Forms are projected as a defense from the opposite and are just with the ego wrong mind and so they cannot matter.

Since social media marketing is about forms which are fragmented projections in the ego, we have been then perceiving the Sonship as fragmented that makes the error real. Specialness is valued just as one idol placed before the Love of God and people perceived differences conserve the separation inside the mind. Absolutely any fragmented attribute we judge in another online (or anywhere) must be affecting every one of the Sonship since we’re really One out of reality. That’s the reason attack isn’t discrete and ought to be relinquished (T-7.VI.1).

Discrete means, “Individually separate and distinct.” All attack of all sorts is the identical and it is designed to divide the whole thing in the Sonship because it attacks (fragments) the Sonship via differences as opposed to sameness. Hence, we are able to realise why Wapnick would point out that it is silly to use the program as a weapon if it is clearly a Course located in unity.

Finally, let’s add two other word symbol definitions because these are generally used through the Course:

Demonstrate: Demonstrate the existence or truth of something by giving proof or evidence.
Reminder: An issue that causes someone to remember something.

Unloving Reminders

Within the Course, “To teach would be to demonstrate (M-in.2) and we’re always teaching, or demonstrating the ego or God every moment, i.e., this article mind which we’ve got chosen to join or identify. For contrast, this article with the ego is many projected and other forms; and the content of the right system is unity, sameness, i.e., Love (no projections). There won’t be any exceptions. It’s one or the other.

Our brothers can be a a part of us. They are the ones who teach us who we are for learning is a result of might know about have taught them (T-9.VI.3) – the ego or God – always. Because the dreamer from the dream (T-27.VII.), our dream figures (those online along with us and our brothers) do what we should are dreaming they are doing based on what we’ve taught (demonstrated). Therefore, they may be innocent as it is our dream. We taught separation or a murderous attack thought against God so many of us demonstrate said attack in many fragmented forms. Yet whenever we forgive ourselves for which we’ve taught (chosen) as an alternative to attacking, we find who we are through our brothers who are precisely the same.

When we’re posting quotes, comments or use Course language “at” another we’re really attacking (unloving reminders). As we consider how “at” feels we realize we feel in separation and differences. The commands or demands with the ego should be answered “at” a separated fragment (brother) and then we carry on and demonstrate our original attack thought and repress our guilt. Course students go and have online with your many ideas of specialness as well as their unloving reminders which fragments the mind and maintains the separation (the other of unity) the actual problem.

From your social media platform to personal pages, online friends and groups, forms would be the focus on social media. Forms do not matter. If we say they actually do, we’ll automatically demonstrate the ego and be unloving and unkind, i.e., we harm others.

Surely periodically a stern reminder might be loving and helpful, but very often it’s not. Again, it is wise to use being normal as a criterion. Normal folks the use of someone that is sick (as well as any mind that believes it can be separate is sick), especially an associate or member of the family, are kind. There is no need to become a spiritual giant or understand stand the main difference between non-duality and duality to understand that if someone is sick and in pain, kindness needs to be agreed to that person. As I have been stressing, whenever you don’t examine fear or guilt, they will be pushed down inside your unconscious, and just as automatically is going to be project out – always. Inevitably, then you definitely wind up judging and attacking other individuals (Kenneth Wapnick, The Healing Power Kindness: Vol. 1, Kindle location 149, underline and parenthesis addition mine).

I wouldn’t have believed they even existed inside the so-called Training in Miracles community. Being initiated into this community, However did start to consider it a household that had to practice the very Course it claimed to think in (Gary Renard, Your Immortal Reality, Kindle Location 466).

To express this differently, social media is part of the dream about devastation, a murderous thought against God. It is the seeking without (in forms) to avoid looking within the actual very heart of social websites:

The search implies you’re not whole within and fear to appear upon your devastation, but prefer to seek outside yourself for you are (T-29.VII.4). Imagine if you looked within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question for you is one the ego never asks (T-23.IV.3).

Loving Reminders

A loving reminder has nothing to use forms as it is exemplary kindness of mind which vision is of sameness and unity – One. If there is nothing different, you’ll find nothing to fight for One is a home with God while in this world and sees only Christ in brothers. One would demonstrate something quite unique:

(2:1) For many years [those who are sick] God’s teachers come, to represent another option they will had forgotten. Your main function shall be advice to other people they can make the same choice you probably did – not really through words, but from the love and peace you suggest to them. (2:2-3) The simple existence of an instructor of God is often a reminder. His thoughts request the ability to question what the patient has known as true. The sufferer – really many of us – has accepted the ego’s thought system as true.

To continue this important caution, most of the time you’d probably never say the words, “The same choice I cause you to will make, because the brain are one.” Love’s presence that is away from ego’s thought method is what teaches, not because of your words, but with the teacher you have chosen in mind, the presence inside you. You will be teaching ACIM and obtain every theological point correct, but when there is no love inside your heart, about to catch teaching ACIM (Ibid Kindness, Vol.1, Kindle Locations 396-399, underline mine).

A school teacher of God is those who have accepted their function, which would be to teach and discover forgiveness… We teach what we are learning and, as we train it to say, we learn it (Just what it Way to Be considered a Teacher Of God, Part 1, FACIM, Kenneth Wapnick).

God’s peace is recognized in the beginning by only something: In every way it is totally unlike all previous experiences. It calls under consideration nothing that went before. It brings from it no past associations. It’s a new thing entirely (M-20.2).

The ego commands action (like posting comments, quotes and utilizing language “at” others). The Holy Spirit will not command. It merely reminds (T-5.II.7). Remember, it’s either, i.e., an unloving or loving reminder. – always.

Don’t Harm

Within the Appendix of, “The Healing Power Kindness: Vol. 1,” Wapnick reprinted, “Do No Trouble for Anyone.” This is a short essay on implementing the Hippocratic oath to the practice of ACIM, i.e., a simple reminder for those students of A Course in Miracles who are looking for to apply its principles to residing in the planet (Kindle location 678). He explores how you must to get a close and honest study of how you previously being using others inside our lives to fulfill our desires and requirements, and just how it can be harmful because we have no regard for your welfare of others. Using people for needs can be an attack in it which engenders guilt in us (Kindle location 699). A “eureka” moment occurs – I finally realize Personally i have tried the written word for attack (Kindle location 709, underlining mine).

Harm may be the result of judgment. Oahu is the dishonest act that follows a dishonest thought. It is a verdict of guilt upon a brother, and so on oneself. It does not take end of peace as well as the denial of learning (M-4.IV.1)… (as an unloving reminder from the attack shown to others and therefore ourselves)… Thus, Jesus is explaining to us how our judgments of other people are preceded by our judgment of ourselves (M-4.IV.1, and Ibid, Kindle location 729). It states unequivocally – fairly early in his training – a student of an Course in Miracles must learn that harmfulness must be totally undone or he’d never educate yourself on the Holy Spirit’s lessons (M-4.IV.1:8-11, Ibid, Kindle location 739, parenthesis addition mine)

As not kind (no harming with out attacking) we simply can’t learn nor see the kind principles of the Course because we aren’t putting them into practice. We’re justing sitting around talking online with the ego via unloving reminders as attacks which are all types of the identical murderous thought because we refuse to look within and in actual fact carry out the forgiveness work.
