In the third short article in the collection on the "wonder" and the "mind," we are going to bring generosity and unkindness right into the discussion about specialness. In A Course in Miracles (ACIM), generosity is linked with humility as well as knowing and also unkindness is with pompousness and specialness. The miracle-minded undoubtedly select humility, discovering and also compassion which indicates they will ultimately discover to forgive all specialness which is what preserves the separation from God.
In my opinion, these need to be required analysis and continuing research for any individual that is a serious Course pupil. The following passage states it all:
When you allot the great metaphysics of A Course in Miracles as well as its innovative psychological understandings, the Course might be pared down to one basic rule: Be kind. If you are not kind, after that not only are you not exercising the Course, there is no chance you can even begin to comprehend it. Regardless of how dazzling your understanding of its metaphysics may be, if you are not being kind towards one more person, you are refraining from doing what this Course is asking (The Healing Power of Kindness, Vol.1: Releasing Judgment by Kenneth Wapnick, p. 10, highlight mine).
In spite of this reproach, we insist on being unkind:
This inability to truly practice A Course in Miracles' kind principles of mercy that they examine, as well as sometimes even teach, has maybe been the most severe stopping working among its trainees. This publication's follow up, "Few Choose to Listen," talks about exactly how students usually hide their thought system of specialness under the guise of spiritual counseling or friendship. The lack of easy compassion is, unfortunately, unmistakable to all other than the Course pupil making the spiritual declarations (The Message Of A Course in Miracles: All Are Called, p. 306).
The non-dualistic definition of generosity can not be comprehended below within the experience of dualism as long as specialness is continually selected because the ego originates from an unkind thought against God and Heaven. Our aversion to identify this regarding the ego, and also what all that thought system can doing, is something that prevents our progress with the Course. We need to agree to take a look at the ego with the Holy Spirit - real Teacher - as well as take that darkness to Him for forgiveness. Nothing can be concealed and that's straight from the Course.
