There's more and more global inequality all the time, and the system keeps producing more and more inequality and greater distance between the rich, the powerful, those who rule and those who are ruled over. But the inequality in the U.S. is getting greater, too....[in which] the richest 10% of the population controlled about 88% of the stock, bonds and real estate....The richest 1% of American families owned more wealth than the poorest 90%. Incredible inequality, and it's getting worse all the time.~ Kevin Danaher-"Corporate Accounting vs. Corporate Accountability," available from Alternative Radio, P. O. Box 551, Boulder, CO 80306.
Utopian visions go
back at least 2500 years to Plato. A Course in Miracles
that all such utopian attempts are missing the mark, unless they undo the cause
in the mind, and not the effect, which is on the behavioral level.
The real problem remains
in the mind that has chosen to believe that it can make a world that is the
opposite of Heaven and, even more to the point, is an attack on God (W-pII.3.2:1).
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of the country.- Thomas Jefferson
A Course in Miracles
is for one person and one person only -- the reader or student of
the Course.
Our goal as students is to become
the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
It is not the teachings
in A Course in Miracles to do
nothing in the world, but rather that the doing follows our first
bringing our ego investments to the Holy Spirit's truth, that the ego thought
system be undone and allows His love to guide us in our daily activities.
We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few. But we can't have both.- former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
The three volumes of the Course were thus always conceived
to be parts of an integrated thought system and spiritual path
A Course in Miracles is but one form among "many thousands" of
"the universal course".
