		<description>Thanks for the opportunity to discuss my concerns with you. I have been lead to this site through many authors that I respect Ekhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Lousie Hays, Oprah Winfrey, and Iyanla VanZant to name a few. 

I have been afraid of ACIM because of the power that I think is foreign and mystical and not Christian but I am constantly drawn into it. 

And as the other commenter says I will be still and Know that God is God and will lead me in the right direction.

My question is about the ego.  If the ego leads you to think things that are untrue about yourself and others and the goal is total forgiveness. How do you protect yourself when others miss use or hurt you?</description>

		<description>This is my second attempt with ACIM. I had only completed 3 months of lessons and then let it go. I know I have resistance to being &quot;present&quot; still. But with a new &quot;aha&quot; perspective of this resistance I’m able to see just a little more clearly than I did before. 
Thank you</description>

		<description>Scarlett,

Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself, and your experiences!  From what you&#039;ve shared, I will be very curious to hear about your further experiences with the course... no matter what they entail, it is bound to be a wonderful learning experience (or reinforcement of existing knowns... either way it&#039;s a win!)

Have a wonderful day :)</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t actually believe in coincidences, but a certain event completely unrelated to spirituality (or so I thought...) led me here.  From what I have read so far, I think that I already perceive the world in much the same way that is being presented.  I&#039;ve always wondered why others didn&#039;t.  That brings me to my first stumbling block...I think I already know this stuff and chances are I don&#039;t know SQUAT!  Also, while reading the intro, I found myself already &quot;breaking the rules&quot;.  Not only am I going to have trouble not judging future exercises, but I had trouble not judging the introduction!  I found myself thinking, &quot;I&#039;m not going to just accept whatever I am told without questioning it!&quot;  Kinda struck me that whoa...maybe just accepting something and having faith in my higher power to guide me is EXACTLY what I need.  The Book of Psalms says, &quot;Be still and know that I am God,&quot; and that is exactly the attitude I am going to try to use to embark on this journey.  I am truly excited about what is to come...

Thanks Chris!</description>

		<description>I read a lot of spiritual books. I don&#039;t think it is co-incidental that the some of authors I respect (Marianne Willamson, Ekhart Tolle etc) made a lot of reference to A Course in Miracles. Their books led me to your doorsteps and for this I am grateful. I can&#039;t wait to get started.</description>

		<description>I heard about A Course in Miracles from a lady I met at the airport. She was reading A New Earth and we started chatting because I&#039;d already read it. She told me about A Course in Miracles. I AM SO EXCITED!!! I love it when things are literally handed to you at the exact point that you either need it or are ready for it.</description>
