Social media marketing is like anything nowadays, i.e., projected thoughts with all the content with the ego wrong mind. Online attacks in the community for the Course in Miracles (ACIM) are via the many comments, quotes as well as other postings wherein we answer our interpretation which in turn becomes the justification for your response (T-12.I.1) or our basis for posting, etc. All students have a very basic confusion between form and content as well as what it ways to join why don’t we not sugar coat it: Social media marketing is forms (projected content of the ego wrong mind) from joining using the wrong mind. Therefore, through the outset it is just a number of attacks until we forgive and commence identifying (joining) with the proper mind.
During this course, all of us sit around online by incorporating form of a digital device mindlessly doing our ego thing. Okay, some may be standing, leaning or lounging:
Sitting around and referring to this course is not same thing as doing the tough work of studying the text and putting the foundations into practice to learn just what the Course means (Kenneth Wapnick, Rules for Decision).
Within the same Rules, Wapnick also says, “What provides ego its power is the having joined with it, your identification with it.” Forms are projected as a defense against the opposite and so are just with the ego wrong mind thereby they cannot matter.
Since social media marketing is about forms which can be fragmented projections in the ego, we are then perceiving the Sonship as fragmented making the error real. Specialness is valued just as one idol placed before the Love of God and people perceived differences take care of the separation inside the mind. Absolutely any fragmented attribute we judge in another online (or anywhere) have to be affecting all of the Sonship since we’re really One inch reality. This is why attack isn’t discrete and should be relinquished (T-7.VI.1).
Discrete means, “Individually separate and distinct.” All attack in all forms is identical which is supposed to divide everything of the Sonship as it attacks (fragments) the Sonship via differences instead of sameness. Hence, we are able to discover why Wapnick would say that it is silly to work with the program being a weapon when it is clearly a program situated in unity.
Finally, let’s add two other word symbol definitions since these are both used through the entire Course:
Demonstrate: Clearly show the existence or truth of something by offering proof or evidence.
Reminder: Something which causes you to definitely remember something.
Unloving Reminders
In the Course, “To teach is usually to demonstrate (M-in.2) and we are always teaching, or demonstrating the ego or God every moment, i.e., the information mind that we have chosen to join or identify. For contrast, this article of the ego is many projected as well as forms; as well as the content with the right system is unity, sameness, i.e., Love (no projections). There are no exceptions. It’s one or other.
Our brothers can be a section of us. These are ones who teach us who we have been for your learning is because what we should have taught them (T-9.VI.3) – the ego or God – always. Because dreamer from the dream (T-27.VII.), our dream figures (those online here and our brothers) are doing what we are dreaming they’re doing depending on what we’ve taught (demonstrated). Therefore, they are innocent because it is our dream. We taught separation or even a murderous attack thought against God and thus many of us demonstrate said attack in many fragmented forms. Yet when we forgive ourselves for what we now have taught (chosen) instead of attacking, we find who we are through our brothers who’re precisely the same.
When we are posting quotes, comments or use Course language “at” another we’re really attacking (unloving reminders). Whenever we consider how “at” feels we realize we feel in separation and differences. The commands or demands from the ego should be answered “at” a separated fragment (brother) and we all carry on and demonstrate our original attack thought and repress our guilt. Course students then go and get online with one of these many ideas of specialness and their unloving reminders which fragments the mind and maintains the separation (the alternative of unity) the actual problem.
From your social websites platform to private pages, online friends and groups, forms are the target social media marketing. Forms tend not to matter. If we say they actually do, we will automatically demonstrate the ego and become unloving and unkind, i.e., we harm others.
Surely there are times when a stern reminder may be loving and helpful, but usually it’s not at all. Again, it is wise to use being normal being a criterion. Normal people in the use of somebody who is sick (and any mind that believes it really is separate is sick), especially a friend or relative, are kind. You don’t have to become a spiritual giant or understand stand the main difference between non-duality and duality to know if someone is sick as well as in pain, kindness needs to be agreed to the face. Because i happen to be stressing, whenever you do not have a look at fear or guilt, they will automatically be pushed down with your unconscious, and merely as automatically is going to be project out – always. Inevitably, you then turn out judging and attacking other people (Kenneth Wapnick, The Healing Power of Kindness: Vol. 1, Kindle location 149, underline and parenthesis addition mine).
I would not have believed they even existed within the so-called A Course in Miracles community. Being previously initiated into this community, I quickly begun to consider it a household that required to practice ab muscles Course it claimed to believe in (Gary Renard, Your Immortal Reality, Kindle Location 466).
To say this diversely, social websites belongs to the imagine devastation, a murderous thought against God. It does not take seeking without (in forms) to avoid looking within which is very heart of social websites:
The hunt implies you are not whole within and fear to check upon your devastation, but prefer to seek outside yourself for what you are (T-29.VII.4). Imagine if you looked within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question for you is one the ego never asks (T-23.IV.3).
Loving Reminders
A loving reminder has not even attempt to apply forms because it is exemplary kindness of mind which vision is of sameness and unity – One. If nothing is different, nothing is to fight first are at home with God when it’s in our planet and sees only Christ in brothers. One could demonstrate something quite unique:
(2:1) To them [those who’re sick] God’s teachers come, to represent another choice that they had forgotten. Your only function is usually to be a reminder to other people they can increase the risk for same choice you did – not necessarily through words, but with the love and peace you prove to them. (2:2-3) The straightforward existence of an instructor of God can be a reminder. His thoughts require the legal right to question just what the patient has accepted as true. The patient – really all of us – has accepted the ego’s thought system as true.
To continue this important caution, usually you would never repeat the words, “The same choice I allow you to could make, because our mind is one.” Love’s presence which can be outside the ego’s thought product is what teaches, not through your words, but by the teacher you’ve selected in your head, the presence inside you. You may be teaching ACIM and have every theological point correct, but if there isn’t any love with your heart, you’re not teaching ACIM (Ibid Kindness, Vol.1, Kindle Locations 396-399, underline mine).
An instructor of God is those who have accepted his or her function, which is to teach and learn forgiveness… We teach what we should are learning and, even as we train it to say, we learn it (Exactly what it Methods to Be considered a Teacher Of God, Part 1, FACIM, Kenneth Wapnick).
God’s peace is recognized at first by just something: In every single way it’s totally unlike all previous experiences. It calls to mind nothing that went before. It brings with it no past associations. It is a new thing entirely (M-20.2).
The ego commands action (like posting comments, quotes and utilizing language “at” others). The Holy Spirit won’t command. It merely reminds (T-5.II.7). Remember, it’s one or other, i.e., an unloving or loving reminder. – always.
