Entry 2,479 - March 10, 2025 An issue I've come across within myself while reading  A Course in Miracles ,  is that one can mistakenly bypass the emotional body if one takes it out of context. Yes to an extent, the advice in ACIM given to a human is going to be harder to received based off the circumstances of our time on a contested world as 3rd density human beings. But on the other side, the book does a great job of encouraging us toward an eventual evolution of a higher way of life, where negative emotions are no longer able to bring us so far down into misery as they did so in the past.

Entry 2,434 - January 26, 2025 ACIM Quotes - WOW!
