Enjoy the following excerpt from a transcribed discussion between A Course in Miracles teacher David Hoffmeister and one of his students.
The whole point of A Course in Miracles is really to tap into our Higher Power. It really has no other purpose. And then when we do experiential tap into it than that is when the book is no longer necessary. We do not need the words; the Spirit can give us all the words we need. If we need any the Spirit will give it to us real
easily. But we do not need to rely on anything anymore. We do not need to rely on religion; we do not need to rely on the book. We just become the living presence of that Spirit, that love. And that is the whole point. That is why we are making great inroads, I am glad we are exploring this together and we are going to broadcast this to all of our brothers and sisters because if we have been afraid of something but we have had a misplaced fear, you know, let's say we bought into the trick and now we are saying I am not going to do that, I do not want to do that anymore, if there is something that I have been avoiding or trying to dodge that has been inside of me, this fear of wholeness, this true fear of intimacy, not fear of sexual intimacy, but a fear of mind intimacy.
People always talk about well if I was naked, if the body was naked I would be embarrassed, well that is a choice, again that is just an interpretation. There was somebody today that was telling me about a woman in Sweden who may have been a student of A Course in Miracles. They were going to just live naked and they were attempting to say the body is not a source of shame, it is natural to be naked, we cover with clothes, it is like Adam and Eve with the fig leaf, it is like we have covered it, cover this, cover that. It is not the body that is the source of shame or guilt, it is the mind that interprets the body and you might say covering the body, like all these people dressing up and covering the body and covering all their private parts. Let’s follow that one a bit too, private parts, what is so bad about private parts and why are they private? Why must they incessantly be covered?
Well let's roll it back to the mind. The ego is a belief in private minds, not one mind, not one unified whole mind, but private minds with private thoughts. What a trick. It has convinced the mind that is asleep that it is a separate mind in a separate body, it has its own little separate thing going yackety yak, going on. We have to see face value that is what is believed in, that is the status quo. And that is what Jesus is saying is crazy, absolutely crazy. We are all one mind, we all share the same Christ mind, we are all the same. So when we start to look at the form, like the bodies and the clothes, and covering the private parts and all this and this and this who set it up that way? As we see in A Course in Miracles, God does not know anything about private parts.
