What's with
The Course in Miracles? It contains a wealth of knowledge in support of manifesting intentions. Its focus is a way to inner peace through
forgiveness.
1 What causes people to begin The Course, and actually produce a few miracles, and then quit, as though
it stopped working? The Course has been around for decades; why then aren't Course participants raving to everyone about how great it is? —even Amway has better enrollment stats.
What I've noticed among those I've known who started The Course is something similar to what "happens" with most (99%) of newly licensed masseuses, rebirthers, real estate agents, and Amway distributors—they eventually give up.
Part of the reason is because none of the instructors promoting such courses insist that each Course applicant complete
The Clearing Process for Professionals (the free process is about restoring and maintaining ones integrity). Most "Course" instructors
know about and
understand the correlation between personal integrity and results; it's just that they have not
experienced it directly.
For example: A masseuse who doesn't honor all of his/her agreements
2 with others, one who goes to work without acknowledging their most recent perpetration(s), their most recent condescending abusive remark to a loved one, one who is dragging around hundreds of unacknowledged perpetrations (mostly childhood
incompletes) into each interaction (each massage), is ignorant about the effects of the vibrations of ones integrity (
one's spin) on another. They have not experienced receiving a "true" massage, or being in-communication with someone who is
in-integrity. Most masseuses experience disappointment when their clients don't recommend them to friends, when clients don't rave about the awesome enlightening experience of their massages.
What's so is, most massages feel good; few are a transformational/spiritual experience. To have a significant positive effect on another a healer must operate with impeccable integrity.
3 Massage is an extremely profound communication; the breathing and conversations during a massage always always have a profound effect on both the client and the masseuse. There is no profound experience from a massage delivered by someone with a "loving act," someone who is not in open, honest, and spontaneous communication—zero thoughts withheld,
with at least one person. If you've had a massage and it was not transformational, if it didn't also affect your personal relationship(s), then your masseuse does not have a Guru or a leadership-relationship communication-skills coach on speed dial. And,
you have not been in open, honest, and spontaneous communication with your masseuse. Both of you have thoughts you've withheld from each other.
Another example: All new Amway sales reps have been "told" about creating a "tickler" card file to remind them when to call a customer for another order of laundry detergent. Most start out following the recommended procedure but within months their integrity is such that they "forget" to call in time. In other words, they are so out integrity, their mind is so clouded with life's unacknowledged perpetrations, that
they can't see the correlation between their integrity and results. They have yet to commit themselves to honoring their own agreements. The sales stop coming; eventually, most former Amway reps end up buying Tide. What's also true is that most Amway customers discover that they have been conned, that the cleaning difference between costly Amway detergent and detergents sold at Walmart is virtually imperceptible. In other words, their sales person "friend" exaggerated (lied) so as to make money.
The same applies to The Course in Miracles. If a Course participant, as a teen, conned a date into deceiving both set of parents so as to have sex, and has not acknowledged that deceit to anyone, then they are trying to make life work without cleaning up life's perpetrations; as one would expect, the miracles stop coming. Notice how few, if any, communications you've received from former acquaintances intent on cleaning up past abuses, yet
all Course and
Alcohol Anonymous participants are advised to make amends, to clean up, to restore their integrity?
Another example: If one reads about The Course in Miracles, they eventually discover that there are
other communication variables one must address enroute to mastery—so as to consistently manifest their stated intentions. Again, doing the course (even half-assed) is extremely valuable because it reveals that there is more.
Another example: University speech-communication curriculums only introduce education and health care majors to the principles and fundamentals of communication; mastery thereafter is trial and error. It can be said the university courses work because one discovers that what's being taught is guaranteed to produce
mediocrity; ironically, one must do the Sp-Com courses to discover this.
Few graduates who complete all the Sp-Com courses a university has to offer can communicate any more openly, honestly, and spontaneously with their parents than they could as a freshman.
1 Most disciplines work if practiced exactly as proscribed; many discover that a discipline that failed to work was simply another requirement en route to enlightenment.
The Course in Miracles requires impeccable integrity for it to work consistently; few who start the book completely read it, even fewer do all the processes in The Course of Miracles. It's much the same as those who bought L. Ron Hubbard's book
Dianetics. Such courses prove the adage, "One can't get past the mind, to the self, using the mind." A truth read is not communicated, it doesn't get gotten as when it is communicated. (Read
Military Academy Scandals—a story)
2 When you break an agreement with another (don't show up on time, don't do as you say you'll do) it causes stress and upset) —in other words, it detracts from the person's aliveness—it's both abusive and unhealthy.
3 You'll know you have a professional masseuse, if he/she is in-integrity, if your first appointment is a sit-down clearing process during which time you will be guided in acknowledging life's perpetrations.
All therapies, supplements, and exercising are ultimately to no avail if your integrity is out.
