I've been kind of watching what's going on in this ng, and there's
something I don't understand about us. Other than Katie we are all
people who, whether currently working with/consciously applying ACIM
or not, have a deep and abiding respect for the course. Why do we
spend so much time tearing each other down exactly the same way Katie
tears all of us down? Why are we doing what she does to us TO EACH
OTHER? It takes a certain kind of person to have a deep and abiding
respect for ACIM, and that kind of person can't be bad. What's
blocking us from recognizing each other as people who would at least
LIKE to be aligned with the Voice for God, for all our failings? Why
are we not offering each other a little encouragement? Katie would
carry on doing as Katie does, but that's no excuse...

ACIM Workbook Lesson 110 ~ April 20
http://courseinmiracles.com/acourseinmiracles/workbook/lesson110.htm
" Lesson 110
"I am as God created me."
We will repeat today's idea from time
to time. For this one thought would be enough
to save you and the world, if you believed
that it is true. Its truth would mean that you
have made no changes in yourself which [had]
reality, nor changed the universe
so that what God created was replaced
[with] fear and evil, misery and death.
If you remain as God created you,
fear has no meaning, evil is not real,
and misery and death do not exist.|

I've seen the expression "love bombs" used here.
And now Mike R. thinks ellen is talking down to him, condescending is
the word he used.
When to Ellen, and maybe others it seems like she is returning
kindness, and not arguing. And I'm not saying she isn't. Just that I
have had some on groups say loving words, or what they thought
were,and they didn't feel loving to me. When this happens, regardless
of any intent on either one's part, it isn't really loving. But, is it
a way of attack? (love bombs. Killing someone with kindess, trying too
hard to BE loving in words, or hugging, following people around trying
to "love" them, etc)
Years ago, I saw this on a discussion group. One person was trying
really hard (maybe because he was unhappy himself and wanted an excuse
to vent) to get someone else to fight with him. The someone else was
very much into ACIM and refused to fight. Instead of just ignoring the
first person, or leaving (for the time being) he kept responding with
what he felt was "love". EGOLESSNESS.

If you want peace in this newsgroup, lasting peace, you will have to
choose it, period. A real choice for peace cannot be made just because
your ego becomes temporarily bored with posting anger and hate
messages. Nor can you allow your ego to dictate that you will get
bored with peace and return to war. This extreme back-and-forth seesaw
between peace and war is what you've been doing for many, many years
in this newsgroup. It is why the newsgroup has the reputation it has
for being the newsgroup from hell. You make it hell.

W-pI.56.2. (27) Above all else I want to see.
2 Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am, I realize that
vision is my greatest need. 3 The world I see attests to the fearful
nature of the self-image I have made. 4 If I would remember who I am, it
is essential that I let this image of myself go. 5 As it is replaced by
truth, vision will surely be given me. 6 And with this vision, I will
look upon the world and on myself with charity and love.

- Just want to share this clear passage:
"Everything you perceive as the outside world,
is merely your attempt to maintain your ego
identification, for everyone believes that
identification is salvation.But consider what
has happened, for thoughts have consequences
to the thinker. You are AT ODDS with the
world as you perceive it because you think
IT is antagonistic to you. This is a necessary
consequence of what you have done. You have
projected outward what IS antagonistic to
what is inward, and therefore you would HAVE
to perceive it this way. That is why you must
realize that your hatred IS in your mind, and
NOT outside it, before you can get rid of it.
And why you must get rid of it, BEFORE you
can perceive the world as it really is."

John wrote this and said to ask you.
What does it mean, and how are you involved in it?
I've never thought of or insinuated this about Jasmine, and I don't
know what it has to do with you.
>>>>>>Out of the blue, Carrie might write to Ellen, "You know Jasmine is a
beautiful woman. I bet Men are so attracted to her. I wonder, if
Jasmine is promiscuous? Not saying this is wrong, and not attacking
her, but just wondering because she is so young and pretty."
Think I'm kidding? I'm not. Ask Mr. Bill. :)
