A Course in Miracles (ACIM), Forgiveness and Looking beneath the Fear of Dying
Enjoy this excerpt from a talk from the awakened mind of David Hoffmeister, where he discusses the path of ACIM and going beneath the fear of dying.
David: Forgiveness is wholeness. If you even leave God out of it for a moment and we go to the correction that takes you back to God. Forgiveness is wholeness and so if you are identified we will say, as a man, as an ACIM student, as an awakening mind or a soul that is undergoing an evolution, a transformation, if you are identified with any of those things, ACIM says, forgiveness is the goal. But forgiveness is wholeness and what we are starting to realise is the reason the mind seems to have these symptoms or even seems to be terrified of the body dying is not really the fear. It is the fear of wholeness.
That symptom that seems to be in the body, as you were saying with the throat closing up and everything like that, and not being able to sleep. That is all a projection of the fear of wholeness so that you will not see that you are afraid of wholeness. When people talk about the Holy Spirit, it says in ACIM basically, that the whole purpose of the workbook is to train the mind to hear the voice for God, to hear the Higher Power, to hear the intuition and really that is the whole purpose of any spirituality. It is to hear that intuitive voice because that has got all the answers.
That voice knows who you truly are and it always is letting us know ... it is never critical once, ever. It is never demanding, it never commands, it never forces us to do anything. It simply offers us this healing reminder about being so loved and even gives us instructions. Where to go, what to do, how to spend the day. It is even practical, it is even more practical than all you need is love.
It gives us practical instructions that help us out in this awakening. But if we are afraid of the Holy Spirit and we are afraid of forgiveness, even if ACIM is telling us that this is the goal then we have to start to realise, wow if I would choose the symptom, and it is a choice, it is not like something out there did it to me. If I would choose a symptom wow I must really be afraid of something else if I am trying to trick myself with a symptom.
Friend: It is a good sign, you are getting close.
David: Yeah it is actually a good sign.
