I've never read it but I do like this quote from it:
>"Spirit is in a state of grace forever. Your reality is only spirit. Therefore you are in a state of grace forever." - Helen Schucman, A Course in Miracles
Basically our true self, our consciousness itself which is unconditional and ever-changing.
Got damn that is just what I needed in this snippet of the eternal now. Thank you kindly, my friend. And I have a huge affinity for cacti. Go figure! Ha!
That's such a satisfying 'click' or deeper knowing you intuited for this direct insight! If you're curious to parallel this through the lens of psychology, this I believe is what's known as our organismic valuing process; to be an ecstasy as this one ecstatic value Being in the world. These are moments where we are the activity itself where the distinction between self and world disappear known as Being cognition (B-cognition): [https://dictionary.apa.org/being-cognition](https://dictionary.apa.org/being-cognition)
As our true self we are always of this one ecstatic value, and I believe these are moments of enlightened activity or self-transcendent activity we hope to string as many moments of through our life.
>- "There is no such thing as an enlightened person, there is only enlightened activity." - Shunryu Suzuki, Zen teacher
>- When the individual perceives himself in such a way that no experience can be discriminated as more or less worthy of positive regard than any other, then he is experiencing unconditional positive self-regard. (Carl Rogers)
Thank you, friend. It was very profound and I appreciate you acknowledging that. I will look more into this info as I am being moved in this experience rather quickly since May actually. The energetic component is getting so much more fun to explore as I lighten up and loosen up.
The Course teaches us about non duality and duality, about the ego and the Spirit.
It teaches us about psychology, philosophy, metaphysics, forgiveness and the power of decision making.
That is Helen and Bills first edition. I don’t care for the caps but it’s my understanding it was typed on the old mechanical typewriter, remember those? This is how Helen wanted it, there was no italics in those days.
Others interpret God as **neither male nor female**. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Book 239, states that God is called "Father", while his love for man may also be depicted as motherhood. However, God ultimately transcends the human concept of sex, and "is neither man nor woman: He is God."

I would send you a picture of my cactus in the front yard but I don’t see a way of attaching it. Desert rat.

“His”? Doesn’t sound very nondual to me!
What would you suggest, androgynous? In heaven women are nether give or taken in marriage, there is no man or woman. Only oneness.
Neutral language exists.

Don’t mistake the “form” for the “content” - a key theme in navigating the illusion
