A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracles is not a religion. Its a course that unites psychology and spirituality. It has a main body text that discusses things like egotism and professes that God is loving, not hateful and pursecutory and that we are here in this world by our own choice to follow our desires and bask in pleasures. It does not condemn this free choice but illustrates the ego wants to kill God and be god itself. Not only kill God but kill the egos host, meaning you and I is its goal.
The book also has a workbook for students. These are daily devotions as Jesus emphasizes the need for "mind training" to help us see things a different way that is empowering.
Some people who have never even picked the book up assailed it as "brain washing." They refer to some neocon website that does a hack job on it but none of it is valid in my experience.
I have read this book through and through, by choice. According to critics, I must be brain washed then. So I guess that means my mind is not my own and I can't make any decisions for myself. That is such bullshit. I would expect bullshit like that from a neoconservative website, but I always figured cannabis users to be free thinkers who aren't afraid of what others say but make up there own mind by reading it themselves. Here are a couple of links if your interested.
