Truth And Miracles: A Course In Miracles

Hey Nick! I AM getting this pretty fast thanks to your help. I have been finding pieces of the truth all year and nothing compares to the experience I'm having now. I love the Course in Miracles. Truly, you have helped so much because I understand it now instead of needing a year to understand it. You have such a gift Nick. Truly, I am blown away by the synchronicities in my life right now. The speed that things are happening. Patty O.

The Dreamer of the Dream:

The purpose of this class is to teach each student the metaphysics behind A Course in Miracles so once understood, the text and exercises will be very easy to read and understand, while putting emphasis in the application of the Course, not the theoretical understanding.

Practicing A Course in Miracles:

Most Course in Miracles' study groups focus on the intellectual understanding of the course as opposed to the application. The challenge with that approach is that it keeps the ego alive by engaging the intellect as opposed to promoting trust, which is the most vital ingredient in the surrendering and forgiveness process. This class is designed to lead students to the practical application of the Course's teachings into every area of their life, just like Nick applies it to every area of his life.

Myth #1: The Course is deep.
That is far from the truth. A Course in Miracles is probably the easiest Course to learn. Once the core principles of what the Course teaches are understood, you won't even have to pick up the book ever again. "I have made every effort to use words that are almost impossible to distort, but it is always possible to twist symbols around if you wish."
T-3.I.3:11

Myth #2: The Course needs to be studied.
Not true! A Course in Miracles was never intended to be studied but to be practiced. The theoretical understanding of the Course will never lead their students to the experience the Course is aiming at. "Without the practical application the Workbook provides, the Text would reman largely a series of abstractions which would hardly suffice to bring about the thought reversal at which the Course aims."
Preface

Myth #3: The Course is important.
Not true at all. "...forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God."
W-pI.187.7:5
The Course is helping us understand how we came to believe that we are separate from our Source. We think we have many problems, when in reality one single solution solves every one of our seeming challenges. "Every problem is the same to Him, because each one is solved in just the same respect and through the same approach."
T-26.II.1:3

"Nick. I like the way you explain things referring to A Course in Miracles. For me you are able to bring issues to a level that is extremely practical.\'ca Sometime I feel that students of A Course in Miracles are so theory oriented that the majority of us forget the everyday practice / practicality of it.\'ca To me this is extremely important.\'ca Not all of us are able to be formal teachers of ACIM but we can 'teach' it daily by how we live and go on with our everyday lives." Roland

Escape from New York!:

Undoing the ego is a process that requires faith, courage, and willingness. Since the ego is undone gradually, it goes through stages. Employing the Escape from New York metaphor, Nick shares with students what the process entails. Using his own personal experience, as well as experience of other Course in Miracles' students and teachers, helps participants deal with the fear that often arises when the ego becomes threatened. In simple words, Nick is there to help remind them that whatever experience they may be having, everything is going fine, and that there is nothing to fear, for they are not in danger.

Teleconferences:

Nick offers Course in Miracles' practice classes via teleconference on a donation basis without anyone being turned away because of inability to contribute. This is a great opportunity for Nick to share with students his experience as he put the principles of A Course in Miracles into practice. It also allows for students to bring some of their fears and doubts to the light, as Nick gently clarifies that even when everything seems to be falling apart, in the larger scheme of things everything is actually falling together for the very first time. This is a wonderful form of support. In Nick's own words; "Had it not been for great teachers who were willing to practice the Course and shared with me their direct experience, I don't know if I would have been able to let go and let God the way I had to, for it requires a lot of trust and surrender. However, after the experiences I have had, all I can say is, it is not at scary as it seem. It is actually quite funny to be afraid of nothing." "How foolish to be afraid of nothing! Nothing at all! Your defenses will not work. Recognize this, and they will disappear." M-16.6:9-13

If you are interested participating on any of the
teleseconferences just enter your name and email.


Your email will NOT be shared. It is Nick's promise to you!

Why I am asking for your email, even when you may have already sign up for my newsletter?

The reason being is, not everyone in my database is interested in participating in teleconferences. Those who have shown interest, like yourself for example, will be receiving a friendly reminder as the teleconference date approaches. Taking in consideration the fact that I may not be the only newsletter everyone of my subscribers receive, I need to ensure that those who have shown interest in participating in teleconferences with me are the only ones that will receive notification.

Testimonials:

"What I did hear from the conversation goin on at the time was what I needed to hear. Thank you so much, Nick and Colleen for putting together the teleconference. I enjoyed it as usual. Love & Light," A. M, Canada

"I have been mulling the Course in Miracles for quite awhile. My life experiences certainly changed my theology from what I was brought up and taught. (Extreme religious right) You know about 10 years or so ago I realized a spiritual side that I have shunned in the past but became very real. I lived it for a bit then let go......I have longed to get back to the place again. I was very active in Reiki and thoroughly enjoyed each days experiences as they unfolded. Like hundreds of thousands now I am stressed and daily fight the illusion of fear.....I also know I have a distinct purpose on this earth and it is my intent to allow that purpose to manifest itself in my life in the years I have left......There are many on the web who talk about the Secret, A Course in Miracles and other spiritual manifestations but I have found you to be real, simplistic and from the heart. Thanks for sharing and for being so generous in giving of yourself , time and knowledge and experiences." T. O., USA

"Hi Nick, it was great communicating with you again through the teleconference. Colleen was also fantastic. I thought that was a very good time for the teleconference. The guy who called right after my call had been doing and feeling the same as I and asked another question I wanted answered. Showing once again the oneness of us all. Stay in touch and I will do the same, always in a supportive and compassionate manner," M. Smith

ACIM at Your Place!:

As long as my travel expenses are covered, the way this works is, if you can get a group of Course's students to get together at your home, I would be willing to show up on a love offering basis. No one will be turned away because of inability to pay. Ideally, I would rather have few meeting so that I can make the trip worthwhile financially. If you are interested in hosting an ACIM practice group at your home, contact me so that we can go over any details. Ideally, 10 people per meeting at $20 a person is suggested. Please be aware that the charge is not for teaching the course. It is for the time I am taking from being away from home.
