A Course In Miracles – Energetic Rhythm – EA Reunion Presentation

The video below is from a presentation that I gave at the Family of God Reunion, a reunion for Endeavor Academy. I go into detail about the reunion in the blog post In the video, I talk about the layers of communication in ACIM and how we can benefit from this dynamic.

In the video, I talk about the brilliant work done my Michael, followed later by Ray Comeau with his books. And, later, James Twyman produced ACIM songs. Ray eloquently described the use of various aspects of how our voice is divinely postured as a tool to lull our minds into a condition of profound receptivity. I say that it does more than that. I say that it uses our deepened receptivity to usher us into our hearts and to deliver us directly into our own inner direct experience of the Love of God. I have a sense of other layers imbued into ACIM beyond the coarseness of the verbiage, some aspects which have a profound effect on our heart and our being. I maintain that there are other mystical levels, yet undiscovered, working divinely for our benefit.

The part of the presentation which introduces new material is primarily in the last 5 minutes of the video. In response to my prayer for how to help people who are stuck at the conceptual level while trying to benefit from ACIM, I got a partial answer after meditating on this for a while. Here’s an approach which might produce better results.

The idea came which is analagous to impressionism in art. If you look at an impressionistic art piece up close, especially if you focus on a part of it, you will see only dots or splotches of paint. You will fail to see the forms depicted in the painting. What you need to do is to stand back, take your eyes of of focus and try to get a “fuzzy” view of the whole painting. Then, you’ll recognize a beautiful landscape or whatever is depicted. This is the manner in which to tune into the energetic rhythm aspect of the the lullaby known as ACIM. Indeed, I think that it’s useful, at times, to approach reading a passage in ACIM as if reading a lullaby. This is an approach which may help to usher you into a divine experience. This is a different and more powerful way to approach reading ACIM, at times. You can loose yourself temporarily from the conceptual aspect and allow yourself to be led along an energetic flow, a level of sophistication imbued into every page of ACIM.

Here’s how.
When reading a passage in ACIM, read a paragraph without much thought about the concepts described in the words and sentences. Rather, read with an intention to feel the energy of the paragraph. Then, do the same with the next paragraph and the next. Think of this as a soft approach, like enjoying a lullaby, like an “energetic bath”. If it goes well, the energetic rhythm will lull you into a flow of an energetic experience. Thus, your consciousness can get transported into an experience of your Self, which is an experience of universal consciousness and of God in your heart and being.

Here’s how it worked for me.
I got some instruction from a friend at Endeavor Academy a long time ago. The instruction was to read any part of ACIM for a while until I felt the joy of God bubbling up in my heart. Then, as I was entering into that energetic experience, I closed the book and closed my eyes. At that point, the Course had done its work on me. If I continued to read the words, they would only get in my way. The work of ACIM is to elevate my spirit, to bring me to an experience of the divine within. I followed this instruction, and it worked wonderfully for me. There are many paths by which I enounter a welling-up of divine energy in my being. Reading ACIM is one path which works for me. I have found that it works best when I am not in an analytical mode of engaging my left brain to understand the concepts. Rather, I soften with the reading. Even though I’m getting a good sense of many of the concepts because many relate to prior experiences I’ve had, I don’t focus on that aspect. I allow whichever concepts make sense to fall into place. Yet, I focus on the right brain aspect of noticing the flow of energy that pervades the passages that I’m reading and intending to tune into that flow, allowing my being to merge into that flow.
