I just started A Course in Miracles. For years I have shown love, mostly, not all the time. I'm still alone. Still alone, no one wants to be my good and close everyday friend. I will continue the exercises. At my core, I feel undeserving. And that is manifested in the world.
Diana, I’m sorry no one has fully appreciated your loving nature. However, if you also love yourself, you need never be alone. If you are lucky enough to feel God’s presence in your life, then you have two close friends. Your third close friend is out there waiting to find you. That’s what I believe.
Your headline definitely had me braced for reading an entirely different article than the one I read. I was pleasantly surprised to see there was nothing I wished to debate. This is a beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing!
I read ACIM decades ago. Switched to A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson and read and listened for a very long time. The cd brought me to instant peace ☮️. Both have potentially saved me. At the time, there were ACIM workshops across the country. AA embraced ACIM. I attended two workshops in Carmel, CA at a retreat Ctr by the beach. There were prayers 24 hours per day, each day. I sat with a friend on the beach in total darkness. Very cool 😎. I found A Return to Love to serve the same purpose. And Marianne did presentations. She spoke early Sunday morning in Detroit at the Church of Today and it was televised. Of course, she left us for CA. I went on a spiritual cruise and several holistic cruises. I support the process 💯and have benefited greatly.
Love the course of Miracles. Look with in and heal the cup and dish then the outside will be clean.... Blame never helps anyone - it only makes us look at what we need to grow away from. Look at your ground, what plants do you want? Blame, Bitterness or etc or Joy, Peace, Love. No judgments here as I am on the way, but* rise above the feel and see the lesson...
Exactly. The article is about how it "ruined" my life by making it better. A Course "ruined" my ego's life. But the ego is an illusion. No need for that when the Truth is everything!
A Course in Miracles ruined your life? Good. That means it worked.
The ego doesn’t need a gentle nudging—it needs a spiritual bulldozer. And the Course showed up with one, handed you the keys, and said, “Start with your smugness.”
You were a sniper for the righteous. Now you’re just another barefoot mystic muttering forgiveness like it’s a spell. And honestly? That’s the upgrade.
Because anyone can win arguments. It takes real divine nerve to look at the human dumpster fire on TV and say, “I see your light, even if you’re using it to start culture wars.”
You didn’t lose your edge—you just stopped sharpening it on other people’s mistakes. That’s not softness. That’s evolution.
Forgiveness isn’t passive. It’s holy defiance. The ego screams “never again,” but the soul whispers, “look again.”
And you did. Now you see light where you used to see threats. Congratulations: your ego is in hospice.
I did ACIM in my 20s and it shifted my worldview. At 59, I return as if I never left. The difference is that now I am truly ready. For anyone who needs a nudge, I recommend reading or listening to THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE UNIVERSE
I read and studied A Course what seems like a lifetime ago. I so appreciate this writing. It reminds me. When I was reading/studying, Marianne was here in the Detroit area running a church. Sunday morning she was on tv teaching A Course. I didn’t miss. I had friends who were also reading, studying. Meetings were held for study groups. AA groups were studying A Course. Marianne wrote A Return to Love. For me, it’s an easier version of A Course. I thought of writing A Course for Dummies. I listened to Marianne on my way to work and felt peaceful. I have the CD in my boombox right now. I’ve experienced a lot and I’m ready to feel it again.
If you read the article, it's about how ACIM ruined my EGO's life by helping me to recognize it and dissolve it with love. Thanks for visiting, though.

Love the title. It destroyed my life as well. And I couldn’t be happier!

This title hooked me bigtime! Looking forward to reading
Thank try got sharing this. I’m watching one of my friends move through this course.
I truly appreciate offering us the glimpse into 121 and allowing me to do a bit of that work.
"This lesson reminds us that we can either add more rage to the world, or more forgiveness. The choice really is ours." Deep!!!
My favorite line in the whole course:
“… the Bible says a deep sleep fell upon Adam, and nowhere is there reference to his waking up.”
Sweet dreams. 💜

Love to you and all that you see and touch!
oh i see you are posting titles for click bait.
Um, no, but thanks for clicking.
Candace. I never questioned your motives. Maybe because I know.
blame will never serve you! YOU ruined your own life, not a book. give your head a shake.
