From the description page:
"Maybe your thinking is that if you can't get any real intimacy in life you
will create a god or savior who you can be intimate with and who will love
you. Do you still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny too?"
"There is no way to God/Truth and all spiritual paths are "ways", paths to
follow, rules to obey. Truth/God is Here, one need not search for Truth.
You are That which you are searching for. This is the End Of The Search."
This is not someone who has had deep spiritual experiences in connection
with ACIM. It is someone dealing with the authority problem in his own way.
The claim Wayne was somehow teaching ACIM is ludicrous.

Yeah, and we all know what "intimacy" Wayne had on offer as a
substitute for God...

I agree with you that Wayne does not teach ACIM.

I agree with you that Wayne does not teach ACIM.
In trying to understand eots I have read as much as I can
about Advaita Vedanta and Nisargadattta Maharaj in an
attempt to understand the way the terms 'no thing',
'nothing' and 'nothingness' are used. I did not go to the
trouble of rereading the Upanishads, however.
Hinduism is prominent in eots from as far as I can tell.
Buddhism less so.

I was basically concerned with Advaita philosophy, how
eots derives in large part from it and how that particular
application does not seem, to me, to be compatible with
the Course.
