In this video, Susan Dugan and Bruce Rawles talk about “The Greater Joining” – the fourth section in Chapter 28 in the text of A Course In Miracles entitled “The Undoing of Fear.” Here is the first paragraph of that section:
“Accepting the Atonement for yourself means not to give support to someone’s dream of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his wish to separate, and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned, instead, on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you and your brother both become illusions, and without identity. You could be anyone or anything, depending on whose evil dream you share. You can be sure of just one thing; that you are evil, for you share in dreams of fear.“
Topics include the intrinsic sameness, oneness, and common Identity we all share with everyone. ACIM reminds us that minds are joined and relationships are primary to the Course’s curriculum of examining our grievances without condemnation and forgiving ourselves for believing in separate interests. The section read and discussed is in the text of ACIM at T-28.IV. Details at ForaysInForgiveness.com
Susan writes with clarity about A Course in Miracles in her helpful blog, ForaysInForgiveness.
Since these video recordings have been a “labor of love” for many years, we thought it would be helpful to remind viewers that donations are always appreciated to enable us to continue devoting time to making these conversations available publicly to fellow students of ACIM worldwide; our intent is to be truly helpful. The (PayPal) Donate button on Susan’s site is toward the top of the middle column on each page of her ForaysInForgiveness site, and a similar donation button on my site is at the bottom in the sidebar on each page of ACIMblog. (Please note that ACIMblog.com and ForaysInForgiveness.com do not represent charitable organizations and any donations are not tax-deductible.)
We recommend these websites to all students of ACIM, both of which have recently updated websites with great resources:
- Foundation for A Course In Miracles (FACIM) which now has new Course-related streaming videos and podcasts including previously unreleased recordings.
- Foundation for Inner Peace (FIP) which has numerous new features, including instant “zero-click” access via the ticker tape on each page to today’s calendar Workbook Lesson – available in 7 languages, a new comprehensive FAQs page and a wealth of Course-related news, contextually relevant and historical archival material about ACIM’s origins, outreach (study groups) and ongoing products and extensions around the globe, including over two dozen translations. There are numerous video conversations on ACIMblog with Dr. Bob Rosenthal, co-President of FIP.
