Class: Allowing vs. Indulging
Class summary: Answers five questions. (1) Nina: What is the difference between “making something real” by feeling old repetitive deep and negative feelings, and when allowing the same feelings is NOT making them real, but letting go of them. (2) Barry: Is separation required for consciousness? In other words can one relinquish their separate identity and still be conscious? Someone once commented that the state of complete joining with the Whole is like dreamless sleep. That to me is not a very attractive goal. What am I missing? (3) Joe: I sometimes feel a victim of the ego as thoughts that I don’t like sometimes just seem to come… (4) Cynthia: Please clarify “at worst ACIM groups dilute the process and displace the ‘work’ onto the group, depreciating the power of our minds, not to mention reinforce the ego’s specialness.” (5) Anonymous: In spite of “doing my best” this path feels anything but gentle. I’ve done my best to ask for help and forgive, but I continue to project a nightmare. Please help.
