I use quotes from A Course in Miracles to illuminate ideas that have a different meanings within conventional reality.
These are linked to the post.
A Course in Miracles has a steep learning curve, much like learning a new language, but one that has familiar words used with different meanings. The conventional use of these familiar words distort, to the extent of making meaningless, ideas that the Course uses.
There are certain concepts that appeal to the ego's sense of grandiosity such as being co -creators with God, or feed the ego's desire to be recognized and absolved from responsibility of its actions. Many of these ideas are True, but the ego seeks to modify their meaning so that they include the ego's illusions.
The blog format using short bare-bone quotes, fits with the difficulty of reading complex material on a computer, the need to be concise within a fairly small space, and the computer's cultivating of impatience.
There are inherent limitations to the format but I believe that some will find it useful in easing the learning curve.
The yellow highlight is my own emphasis. The red font indicates direct quotes.
When quotes are taken out of context there is always the danger of distortion.
There is no inherent logic in the order or importance or complexity of words used except that they all are used differently in A Course in Miracles.
