Some ideas from Ouspensky

Man is hypnotized to believe that he is awake but in reality man is sleeping even in the waking moments. As during the waking hours also man is dreaming about past or future.

There are two types of sleeps. First type of sleep is during the night and second type of sleep is our dream state in the waking hours when we continuously drift to past and future yet doing our day to day activity mechanically.

To fully awake means living in present moment all the time. One needs to be aware or present in all the action one does. Practically man is sleeping all the time.

Man needs a good shock to awake from this dream like state. But man is so fast asleep that one shock is not enough.

Man needs to be shocked continuously then only he can be awake. But who will provide this shock to man. As man is asleep he needs help from someone else to wake him.

But at the same time another sleeping person also needs help for himself. So one sleeping man can not provide shock to another sleeping man.

Man needs the help of some one who is awake and is ready to help sleeping people in their awakening.

But the man who is awake may not like to spend his time in waking up sleeping people as he may have much more important work to do.

More over those who can help, they wont prefer to spent energy on one single person as one who can help put a great value on their time and they would prefer to help when there are groups of people lets say twenty, or thirty people.

So one who is interested in awakening should look for other people who also want to awake and work together with them in an organized way. It may happen that one of them gets awake and then that person can help in awakening others.


This whole group work should be organized and it can be only done by one who knows the problems, aims of such a group and he himself has passed through the group work.

Every member of Group is chosen by the teacher with some specific aim and group should work according to the aim of the group as specified by the teacher. No group is possible with out a teacher.

Ideas leave not their source

The ideas as given in A Course in Miracles are timeless vibrations of the Love of God, the words are simply so designed that each individual takes from this source all that he wills to be true.

The difference lies not in the ideas, but in the teachers who receive and extend the ideas. Free Will leads to freedom.

The strenght of the Love of God lies in His Son. Extension, as undertaken by God, is similar to the inner radiance that the children of the Father inherit from Him.

(chapter 2)
This is as true of the Son as of the Father. In this sense the creation includes both the creation of the Son by God, and the Son's creations when his mind is healed. This requires God's endowment of the Son with free will, because all loving creation is freely given in one continuous line, in which all aspects are of the same order.

The many I's that I accepted in the dreams of a self  I made up in my seeming journey in space/time must be recognized again, a responsibility that at first seems impossible but with the action of the Holy Spirit ever present , becomes a constant and happy encounter with all that each day brings. A rebirth through the tranfer of ideas in a new communication.

All discomfort is either the physical, emmotional, or intelectual focus on a frame that is to dense, the attention demanded by the fragments of the past an isolation that must be recognized happily as to narrow.

It is in the willingness a priory to be lesson one "Nothing I see means anything" bringing only new pictures of wholeness as myself in the action of the Atonement principle.

Your resurrection is your reawakening. I am the model for rebirth, but rebirth itself is merely the dawning on your mind of what is already in it. God placed it there Himself, and so it is true forever.

I believed in it, and therefore accepted it as true for me. Help me to teach it to our brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but first believe that it is true for you, or you will teach amiss.

The World As Ideas

Ideas are forces of Light ever present to be accepted as a instant of self-recognition, a widening awareness of myself and the world I think I live in.

Each individual uses the ideas of A Course in Miracles in their own experience of where each one beliefs he exists in the dream.

What is a dream but an interpretation of an observation, a judgment that produced conflict. All conflict is a rejection of myself and the space I think I am in.

The powerful ideas of ACIM are timeless vibrations, ever giving to all who connects with its design to awaken from the sleep of ignorance. Awaken and be glad is the theme of the key that lies in every page of this document.

I am vigilante to use the ideas as given and not interprete against them, or for them,  in itself the ideas carry all that is needed for me to realize that I need do nothing. I am vigilant for God, and trust that the ideas are given in the exact form I need to remember who I am.

Teaching is done in many ways, above all by example. Teaching should be healing, because it is the sharing of ideas and the recognition that to share ideas is to strengthen them.

I cannot forget my need to teach what I have learned, which arose in me because I learned it. I call upon you to teach what you have learned, because by so doing you can depend on it.

Make it dependable in my name because my name is the Name of God's Son. What I learned I give you freely, and the Mind that was in me rejoices as you choose to hear it.

Beyond this world there is another world

Your kingdom is not of this world because it was given you from beyond this world.

Only in this world is the idea of an authority problem meaningful.

The world is not left by death but by truth, and truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was created, and for whom it waits. (chapter 3)


It is difficult to understand that levels of teaching the universal course is a concept as meaningless in reality as is time.

The illusion of one permits the illusion of the other. In time, the teacher of God seems to begin to change his mind about the world with a single decision, and then learns more and more about the new direction as he teaches it.

We have covered the illusion of time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching seems to be something different.

Perhaps the best way to demonstrate that these levels cannot exist is simply to say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is part of God's plan for Atonement, and His plan can have no levels, being a reflection of His Will.

Salvation is always ready and always there. God's teachers work at different levels, but the result is always the same. (Manual for teachers)

Vision depends on light. You cannot see in darkness. Yet in darkness, in the private world of sleep, you see in dreams although your eyes are closed.

And it is here that what you see you made. But let the darkness go and all you made you will no longer see, for sight of it depends upon denying vision.

Yet from denying vision it does not follow you cannot see. But this is what denial does, for by it you accept insanity, believing you can make a private world and rule your own perception.

Yet for this, light must be excluded. Dreams disappear when light has come and you can see.

Reaching God

In the lessons of A Course in Miracles as Teachers of God we make contact with God, as Love, as Truth, as ourselves. Through prayer love is received.

First we reach for the idea of God and communicate our desire to be heard.

 It is from that action of contact, a single desire for the Father as our Source that an answer is received.

(from the manual for teachers) It has been asked and answered, and he keeps in constant contact with the Answer. He is set, and sees the road on which he walks stretch surely and smoothly before him.

A prayer is not complete until a contact has been made with God. This means when we have become actually conscious of the Presence of God, there is a feeling within us that God has declared Itself; God has made Itself evident in us.

Then be assured, there will be answered prayer!
The reason there is not answered prayer is that we are not reaching God. We must learn to “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and these things that you would pray for will be added unto you.

In quietness are all things answered, and is every problem quietly resolved. In conflict there can be no answer and no resolution, for its purpose is to make no resolution possible, and to ensure no answer will be plain.

A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is seen in different ways. And what would be an answer from one point of view is not an answer in another light.

You are in conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited effects.

Yet if God gave an answer there must be a way in which your problems are resolved, for what He wills already has been done.

Thus it must be that time is not involved and every problem can be answered now. Yet it must also be that, in your state of mind, solution is impossible.

Therefore, God must have given you a way of reaching to another state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy instant.

The keys of the Kingdom

The Key to freedom is a powerful symbol used in our Course in Miracles to present only a total repsonsibility for the miracle worker.

No where to go, but to stand in that certainty that all is given already, and acceptance of these ideas in the lessons are the key to self-discovery immediatly and accomplished.

No matter the event, situation, condition in which I seem to be located it is what it is. Cal it forgiveness, healing, salvation it is still a paradox as God does not know of form or location.

The simplicity of these tremendous ideasof the lessons are a formula that only inspires awe and joy of this gift, the Grace of God.

(chapter 14) The happy learner meets the conditions of learning here, as he meets the conditions of knowledge in the Kingdom.

All this lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the past, and open up the way to freedom for you. For truth is true. What else could ever be, or ever was?

This simple lesson holds the key to the dark door that you believe is locked forever. You made this door of nothing, and behind it is nothing.

The key is only the light that shines away the shapes and forms and fears of nothing.

Accept this key to freedom from the hands of Christ Who gives it to you, that you may join Him in the holy task of bringing light. For, like your brothers, you do not realize the light has come and freed you from the sleep of darkness.

Today is your day to receive all new

Each day is whole and complete, nothing to be added or taken away. What peace and freedom lies in that idea. There is no repetition in God and also then not in His Son.

The idea of repetition is an idea that something could be repaired which is hilarious if I remember that God only gives. I am renewed in His Love. 

In the idea of the separation must have sprang the idea of repetition and so how endless seems the journey when I try to become something I will never be.

No wonder the idea of fear had to come in to wake me up.

In chapter 12 of A Course in Miracles it gives me this idea:"  By interpreting fear correctly as a positive affirmation of the underlying belief it masks, you are undermining its perceived usefulness by rendering it useless.

Defenses that do not work at all are automatically discarded. If you raise what fear conceals to clear-cut unequivocal predominance, fear becomes meaningless.

(from the epilogue) Let us go out and meet the newborn world, knowing that Christ has been reborn in it, and that the holiness of this rebirth will last forever.

We had lost our way but He has found it for us. Let us go and bid Him welcome Who returns to us to celebrate salvation and the end of all we thought we made.

The morning star of this new day looks on a different world where God is welcomed and His Son with Him. We who complete Him offer thanks to Him, as He gives thanks to us.

The Son is still, and in the quiet God has given him enters his home and is at peace at last.
