The Unwritten Doctrine of A Course in Miracles

. . . we are led, gentle step by gentle step, through the labyrinth of duality, learning to forgive instead of condemn, to choose the vision of sameness over our myriad and fragmenting judgments. We are guided by our Teacher through this circle of fear (T-18.IX.3) until we are no longer afraid to abandon the false selves masquerading as bodies, seeing ourselves now as decision-making minds that can choose love in place of guilt and terror.

Learning to Hear the Teaching Behind the Teaching

A rule of thumb I have adopted in these instances of "hearing" the Voice is to tell people to be most cautious when the voice is specific. Since specificity has been the name of the ego's game from the beginning when it declared its specific independence from the Oneness of the All, specificity is its most persuasive argument for its own existence, being synonymous with individuality. In addition, God's Voice is never specific, but is always the abstract (read: nonspecific) Word of love, which within the illusion is the Word of correction or Atonement (S-1.I.4). Our separated minds translate that nondualistic purity into the specific words we can understand and relate to. While this is necessary as long as we identify with the special self, it is also where the sly ego can slip in and wreak havoc with the truth. What, then, is a student supposed to do?

The third and concluding part to this article, The Treachery of Images, to appear in the March 2014 Lighthouse, will focus on the implications of living the Course's unwritten doctrine (the universal course) in our everyday lives. Students of A Course in Miracles should strive to live up to the ideal of establishing a community of love, their being the loving fulcrum that would join together the Course's teachings with all those they would meet or even think about. The danger, as we have already seen, is that students may succumb to the ego's clever treachery and interpret this community in specific, worldly terms—the body—rather than see it as the community of love that only truly exists in the mind. The March article will address these issues.
