In August 2010 I became deeply interested in A Course in Miracles, as a result of reading Disappearance of the Universe. I know there’s a lot of controversy in some circles about Gary’s credibility but, personally, I find him very believable and am a great fan of DU. There is no doubt that DU and Gary’s follow-up book, Your Immortal Reality, have played an invaluable role in helping people, including me, to quickly grasp the gist of ACIM.
However, this blog is not about adding fuel to a foolish fire. It’s simply about the fact that every so often I sit down and ‘journal’ about Course-related ideas and it seems to make sense to do my journaling in a blog, rather than keeping my thoughts all to myself.
For the most part, writing is a very effective way for me to unpack my evolving thoughts, and I’m not really too concerned about whether people agree with me or not. In truth, when I look back on things I’ve written in the past, I quite often find that I disagree with myself! And I guess if you’re the kind of person who likes to be constantly growing in understanding, then that’s exactly what you should expect. So putting my ideas out into cyberspace seems just a bit more useful than keeping them ‘locked up’ on my hard-drive. Perhaps some ‘body’ out there in dreamland will even find some of what I write useful.
