Class: The Island of Loneliness
Here are the main ideas discussed in this week’s class, The Island of Loneliness:
• Pain and suffering and personal beliefs
• Question from Lisi: Would you please elaborate on question #415 from FACIM Q&A which talks about practicing the Course without being a doormat?
• Trying to control another person’s process
• Denial and repression
• Thinking we know something, and coming to terms with our real ignorance
• Giving love not brilliance
• Our intellect or psychological insights as a defense
• Defending against Jesus: Balloon metaphor
• Needing to step in and have our say, and solve problems for others
• Finding a beacon when we are ready for change
• Using 2+2=4 day to day
• Acting and ACIM
• Living an artful life and holy encounters
• Feeling stuck in our spiritual process
• Accepting our worthiness of love
• Our secret sins and gaining equanimity
• The conflict the Course has come to resolve
• Question from John: How do I get closer to Jesus so I can know that he really loves me?
• Island metaphor
