ACIM Navigator – Research Notes & Essays

Commentary on A Course in Miracles

Over the past week I have posted several related pieces rather than sending them out one at a time. They circle around two recurring points of confusion in A Course in Miracles: the nature of time, and the question of action in the world.

The Course makes a number of cryptic statements about the circular nature of time. These are often read as an endorsement of reincarnation, while others associate them with ideas such as Nietzsche’s “eternal return.” I have written about both, and about what the Course itself is actually addressing.

Disagreement about activism versus passivity continues in Course discussions, often framed around the phrase “I need do nothing.” In my view, the Course rejects both ego-driven activism and quietism.

I have also posted the next installment on Miracle Principle 4, focusing on what ACIM means by “life” and our relation to God.
