  • What Is Science of Mind Or Religious Science?
    AFSI Class Lecture 2015 What is Science of Mind or Religious Science? The simple answer to the question, (the one I can give you in 10 minutes) can be found in Wikipedia. It says: “Science of Mind was established in 1927 by Ernest Holmes (1887–1960) and is a spiritual, philosophical and metaphysical religious movement within the New Thought movement. In general, the term "Science of Mind" applies to the teachings, while the term "Religious Science" applies to the organizations. However, adherents often use the terms interchangeably. In his book, The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes stated "Religious Science is a correlation of laws of science, opinions of philosophy, and revelations of religion applied to human needs and the aspirations of man." He also stated that Religious Science/Science of Mind (RS/SOM) is not based on any "authority" of established beliefs, but rather on "what it can accomplish" for the people who practice it.” This last statement is a very important one. Science of Mind is, above all else, a practice that is designed to produce tangible results in the lives of its adherents. Wikipedia lists 12 beliefs and 10 core concepts and I shall spare you the reading of them! Instead I shall attempt to summarize this Spiritual practice in this way: 1. The mind of God is always of the Good. 2. Your life results, flow from your mind aligned or misaligned with this Good. This requires learning new ways of thinking. This is why Science of Mind organizations see themselves as “Centers” of learning. The phenomenon called “The Secret” and ideas like the Law of Attraction from the teachings of Abraham / Hicks, find an enthusiastic audience in these Centers.

  • A Better Way Is Published Monthly by Minds
    April 2007/ ISSUE 64 CONTENTS Why I Am a Course Purist Why I Am a Course Purist by Robert Perry by Robert Perry 1 What We Are Reading 6 Labeling oneself a Course purist can sound so restrictive. It calls Mailbox 7 to mind old images of religious purity, in which a righteous fence is erected Circle News 8 that encloses a tiny piece of holy ground and shuts out the whole world. It sounds like a curb on our freedom, so that just as we reach for joy, handcuffs Website Postings 8 are slapped on our wrists. It sounds like the triumph of the letter of the law over the spirit. Finally, it raises the ugly specter of fundamentalism, in which believers quote chapter and verse to defend intolerance, in which holy books become weapons. Yet being a Course purist is my life. It is a stance that I consider reasonable, healthy, freeing, and life-giving. In this article, I will attempt to explain why. But first, what do I mean by “Course purist”? I mean that I take the Course at its word and that I consider it a complete and sufficient path, which means that I follow it alone. In essence, I treat its words the same way that I would treat the words of a living teacher. If I considered Jesus to be my teacher, and he physically walked into my house and began speaking to me in plain English, teaching me the truth and laying out a concrete path for me to realize that truth, why wouldn’t I disciple myself to him? Why would I say, “Well, what he’s saying is really all metaphor, and I should freely interpret his metaphors and then weave them together with everything I’m learning from other teachings”? I wouldn’t say that with a living teacher, and I don’t say that with the Course.

    AA BetterBetter WayWay A NEWSLETTER FOR STUDENTS OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES / THE CIRCLE OF ATONEMENT / OCTOBER 2004 / ISSUE 47 THE EARLIER VERSIONS AND THE EDITING OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES by Robert Perry Life for students of A Course in Miracles used to be simpler than it is today. We had one version of our revered book, and we knew that this version was almost exactly as its scribe, Helen Schucman, heard it, straight from Jesus. She herself gave this impression in the Course’s preface: Only a few minor changes have been made. Chapter titles and subheadings have been inserted in the Text, and some of the more personal references that occurred at the beginning have been omitted. Otherwise the material is substantially unchanged. Then everything changed. In January of 2000, an earlier version of the Course, called the Hugh Lynn Cayce Version, was disseminated on the Internet. Later in that same year, an even earlier version, called the Urtext, also became available on the Internet. Both versions showed that the Course as we knew it had gone through a far more extensive editing process than anyone had suspected. While before we felt the comfort of knowing that our scripture, unlike so many others, was free of human influence, we now began to wonder how much of the Course was altered by human editors. We also wondered which was the “true” version. Indeed, the Hugh Lynn Cayce Version was quickly published under the rather in-your-face title Jesus’Course in Miracles (and just as quickly became unavailable due to a court injunction).

  • An Introduction to a Course in Miracles for Students of Non-Dual Teachings
    An Introduction to A Course In Miracles for Students of Non-dual Teachings A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a self study course which clarifies the mystical teachings of Jesus. It was channeled by Helen Schucman, a professor of Medical Psychology at Columbia University, in the early 1970’s. Helen was experiencing difficulties in a relationship with another professor at Columbia, Bill Thetford, and asked in her heart for assistance. She began hearing what she described as “the Voice”, which she transcribed into notes and ultimately Bill Thetford typed into a transcript. Their collaboration over seven years produced A Course in Miracles used by thousands of students around the world in search of truth. The course is comprised of three volumes. A workbook of 365 daily lessons, a text that explains the mystical teachings of Jesus, and a Teacher’s Manual to support those called to share the message of salvation– that we are One with our Creator and all of our brothers. The Course outlines the specific means for undoing the thought system of the ego in order to recognize that unconditional love is True Nature and here Now. The Course in Miracles begins thus: Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Therein lies the peace of God. The desire to know the peace of God is available now is experienced by every student seeking to know their True Identity. Miracles, as taught be Jesus in the Course, are a means to transcend this world of duality– to ultimately discover that the Kingdom of Heaven, the peace of God, is within.

  • Reversing Cause & Effect
    Reversing Cause & Effect: Getting to the Bottom of the Belief in Linear Time A Dialogue with David Hoffmeister about applying the teachings of A Course In Miracles Introduction The idea of ‘cause and effect’ is an essential element of the metaphysics outlined by A Course In Miracles. This idea must be understood in order to begin the process of thought reversal. Once this idea is fully grasped it must then be transferred from a mental concept to practical application, without exceptions. This is the key element in the process of forgiveness and accepting the Atonement, which is the sole responsibility of a teacher of God. This leads to the experience of Inner Peace, Happiness, Freedom, Joy, & Divine Love. Note: A Course In Miracles was used for all "quotations" used in the following teaching/learning session. The words of Jesus are in quotes " " Thanks to Kerri Lake for transcribing this session and to Jeffrey Lake for following the prompt to have it transcribed. Their efforts and willingness made this transcription possible, and now this teaching session is available for the public in print as well as on audio CD. *** Reversing Effect and Cause: Getting to the Bottom of the Belief in Linear Time David: We’re going to start with a teaching / learning session on cause and effect. And we’re starting with the section from the Course titled ‘Cause and Effect’. “You may still complain about fear, but you nevertheless persist in making yourself fearful. I have already indicated that you cannot ask me to release you from fear. I know it does not exist, but you do not.

  • A Better Way) Is to Show That Behavior Occupies an Extremely Important Place in a Course in Miracles and to Explain What That Place Is
    March 2009/ ISSUE 87 CONTENTS “This Course Is a Guide to Behavior” Part I: The Presence and Role of Behavior in A Course in Miracles “This Course Is a Guide to Behavior” by Robert Perry 1 Part I: The Presence and Role of Behavior in A Course in Miracles Circle Mailbox 7 by Robert Perry Circle News 9 I recently picked up the November/December 2008 issue of Miracle Worker, the magazine of the UK Miracle Network. What caught my eye was the editorial written by my friend Ian Patrick. It opened with these lines: One of the most common pitfalls amongst A Course in Miracles students is to think the Course means less than it actually does. The more usual way this manifests is to succumb to the idea that the Course is a guide to behaviour, a kind of moral code for living in the world. The Course is only interested in our thoughts, particularly whether we are coming from the thought of fear or love. It is not interested in our behaviour. I have heard Ian make this point before, which would usually spark a vigorous discussion between us. So it is not news to me that he thinks this, nor is it news to him that I see it differently. However, I have heard this viewpoint in one form or another so many times, from so many people, that seeing it one more time in print prompted me to make a clear and thorough statement about it. The purpose of this two-part article (Part II will be in next month’s A Better Way) is to show that behavior occupies an extremely important place in A Course in Miracles and to explain what that place is.

  • Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960S
    Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960s CAMILLE PAGLIA 1. eclipse by politics Commentary on the 1960s has been mas- sive. Law and politics in that turbulent decade are well doc- umented but remain controversial, and the same thing can be said of contemporary innovations in mass media and the arts. One major area remains ambiguous or poorly assimi- lated, however—the new religious vision, which for a tanta- lizing moment in the American sixties brought East and West together in a progressive cultural synthesis. Its promise was never completely fulfilled, for reasons I will try to sketch here. But the depth and authenticity of that spiritual shift need to be more widely acknowledged. A political model currently governs interpretations of the sixties because of the enduring reform movements born in that period, including environmentalism, feminism, and gay liberation. Their mobilizing energy, as well as the organiza- tional style that would also be adopted by antiwar protests, initially came from the civil rights movement sparked by the us Supreme Court’s 1954 decision declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional. In that crusade, it must be remembered, ordained Protestant ministers such as Martin Luther King, Jr., played a leading role, as they also had in nineteenth-century abolitionism. The civil rights movement, with its hymns and anthems, appealed not just to secular standards of social justice but to a higher moral code. An expanded version of a lecture delivered on 26 March 2002 at Yale University, sponsored by the Institute for the Advanced Study of Religion at Yale.
