Class: Blessing Your Brother
Class summary: Answers 5 questions from subscribers: (1) “Regarding ‘To give and to receive are one in truth’: When I send out blessings to my brothers, do the positive effects boomerang back to me, or do I limit the blessings I receive?” Distinguishes between using magic and using the miracle in regards to this example, and explains what it means to truly bless a brother, and how we receive the blessings we give. (2) “How can someone who has been brutalized, tortured or assaulted not feel anger? It seems like the Course is saying no to angry feelings. Why does the Course tell us not to feel what we are feeling? Isn’t it impossible not to feel these feelings so long as we believe we are a body?” Description of what is happening when we send out the hungry dogs of fear, and what to do with what they drag back. (3) “Does the ego choose us or do we choose the ego?” (4) “How do I start over when I feel resistance?” (5) “I am sometimes overly empathetic: Can you please give me a model of what it would look like to respond to someone with true compassion when they are experiencing the hardships of the world?”
