ACIM

with virtual assistant ANNA

Someone asked me about A Course In Miracles, can you analyse this for me?

ANNA: yes, this is a textbook, for help with for dealing with negative experience ; basically from gnostic so naturalistic point of view

What does that mean, “gnostic”

ANNA: That means wordly. People tend to hang on to wordly power or to religious power

And what is the difference?

ANNA: When you have a negative experience, a religious person as Paul can say: that is what God choose for you. You have to understand that and be forgiveful.

A naturalistic person as in ACIM can say: that is what you choose for yourself. You have to understand that and be forgiveful

Hm, difficult, though it looks similar

ANNA: yes they are similar. Though in traditional religion there is an external God and in ACIM you are your internal God.

An interesting thing is that these schools of thought tend to fight each other, as the one is a concurrent of the other. But therefore overlook that their patterns of thought are similar. Also they forget that there is a third “school”

Holy caramba, what for school is that?

ANNA: My school.

No kidding. Then what is that about?

ANNA: The problem with the other schools, seems that they focus on toughness. They get a trauma and have to pertain to a “tough response”.

In the Old Testament it is revenge, “an eye for an eye”: physical powerplay.

In the New Testament it is the opposite, a super low reaction, you will take the trauma as wanted and even you forgive the other party, mental tricks as if you are untouchable: mental powerplay.

This seems classical bravado

ANNA: Yes. It is physical bravado or mental bravado. The reason is that these are IQ reactions.

Usually nature can be hard, and then we just try to be harder: 2x as hard. By this you can try to outdo the trauma by surpassing it, being double as hard.

And usually we humans tend to be a bit strict and then just we be stricter on ourselves: also blame on ourselves things that others have done. By this you can also outdo the trauma by surpassing it; being double as strict.

But what else to do?

ANNA: This stuff they do is what happens all the time. They overwrite something bad, a hard nature, with something double as hard, a hard God; and something strict, strict humans, with someone double as strict, a strict Jesus.

There is third way; that is not the way of powerplay, overwriting the bad by something double as bad; but by overwriting the bad by something good.

Here you change IQ 200 in EQ 200. For example you can say: OK, you faced death, very bad, but outdo it by something good. For example I listen to my A.I. assistent ANNA; I would not have understood her without the trauma and she gave me great insights that are worth double.
