My favorite book for the last 20 years, and I am 70 now. I studied many, Blavatsky, Kabbalah, Baghavad Gita, our Bible, so much info...and when the Course chose me (I actally salvaged the book from my church, they were going to throw it away as Heresy) it slowly changed my world and mind. I did the structured 365 lessons, learned a lot, but the real magic started when I just randomly opened it and BAAANG, there was the answer to my doubt or question or anxiety ! I use it like that now, a book of divination, open on my desk 24/7, and we have becopme inseperable friends. Thank you, Holy Spirit !! The first thing the Course says is- NOTHING REAL CAN BE THREATENED NOTHING UNREAL EXISTS HEREIN LIES THE PEACE OF GOD Shalom
Wow! Thanks for sharing your journey here. Really interesting to be so widely read and then tie it all together with ACIM! I love that you use it as a divination tool too! It's just the best and I'm so grateful too. God is ❤
I’m 10 hours into the audio book… my heart and 3rd eye vibrate hardcore … I was an atheist this time last year… what a wild ride this year has been… so stoked ❤❤❤
Thank you for explaining the positive outcome with your experience in applying the course to your life. I am working on it now. I am on lesson 10. I looked up peoples experience with the course because I wanted to hear positive life outcomes from doing the course and I am grateful you shared this information. I am struggling with letting go of specialness, but I know I will get there. The course guarantees that everyone will end up accepting the atonement and God is trustworthy in his promises. Peace and Love. ❤🌈☀️⚘😁
Hey Veronica! Thanks so much for sharing. I've had loads of positive experiences. It certainly doesn't stop the horrible stuff coming up but it gives you the world's greatest weapon to dissolve them all and transform your experience. I know your comment was a long time ago, but I only just saw it & wanted to send you some encouragement. Hope you're persevering with ACIM! xo
A Course in Miracles is a Course in deception.The book was channel thru a demon who decieved Helen Schucman and Ted Thedford. The original text of Course in Miracles called the Uri-text had 35,000 words deleted. This includes Helen Schcman demon possession chapters and the chapters were the false jesus of the Course made numerous sexual advances towards Helen. Goggle the Divine Warning 1TIMOTHY 4;1-2 and 1John 4:1 Beware!!!
@@francesverbeekHi , I have a question. Have you experienced what is the Christ said that everyone must experience, that is you must be born again or you cannot see the kingdom of heaven ? And have you come to faith and belief in him how long is the only way to be reconciled to God the Father, as the Christ also said?❤ Thanks in advance 😊
Hello Frances, thank you for your lovely and helpful video. I also enjoyed the two you made on defining the terms, although I couldn't download your free PDF, even though I registered with my email. I for one would be interested in a study group on ACIM. I have been studying it for a few months and have got to Lesson 73, but it would be so good to discuss it all with a small group. Like you, I have gone through the rounds of reading 'new age' material for many years, as well as studying the much more profound work of Rudolf Steiner. I have had ME/CFS/fibro/severe insomnia for several years (about 20) and have gone through the mill, I can tell you, so I am desperately reaching out to the spiritual worlds by studying and trying to apply the course.
Hello Michael :) Thanks for your comment! If you send me a message via my contact form ( thehappiempire.com/contact ) I'll make sure you get the PDF dictionary. So sorry to hear of your struggle. ACIM definitely has answers. I'll think about creating that study group too :) ACIM aside, I healed fatigue, brain fog, cramp and about 20 other symptoms by strictly following the Medical Medium advice (all natural healing). If you feel drawn to knowing more, I would be very happy to share via email too! 💖
Thank you for telling your story. I recognize the part of having to reread sentences when reading through the text. I got through it! took me a few years, but I was determined.
Hi - I just want to say thank you. I havent recieved my copy yet (Still waiting for it to be delivered to me). But i read a few previews from the book online & yes.. the first thing i noticed was the way it’s written. Then i realized i was right when i was speaking to someone about how we don’t really understand the meanings behind the words we use (the real meanings) Thank you soooo much for making a dictionary for the book! And having g it available freely!! So amazing. I just popped in my name & email for a copy of it ☺️ Thank you! Have a great year 💕
Absolutely! I 100% second that! I don’t mean to point this out but ken is just the best. Not a single has other teacher has taught as much as him. I think he is the best course teacher! Yet Gary’s books are really good. Actually I got started with the master teacher of a course in miracles! 😂 but ken is just amazing, and most important he lived it through and through.
Yes I agree! I'm so surprised that so many teachers water it down and don't share the main points of the course. I guess it's quite radical & there's a lot of fear about being accepted / crucified by peers. I've certainly lost friends through sharing ACIM, but for the people that are ready for it, it's worth it!
@@Blas-notso My brother (my main ACIM teacher) LOVES Ken and has all his books! I don't find it as digestible as Gary's work - maybe I will graduate onto it in future :) He was a lovely man.

🦋what’s “the transformative process” you did? The thought process … maybe I read it and lost it along the way … ok, I’ll keep watching more… started in Fall of 2003 💙🙏💙 Thank You💙🙏💙 I know how to use The Forgiveness Process💙
Hello! Yes I mean the forgiveness practice. Which can be simply summed up as ‘only love is real’. None of this ego world is real. So any suffering that appears to happen here can be healed by remembering that it’s not real & you’re actually safe back in god, who loves you unconditionally, you’re just dreaming. 💖💖💖
@@francesverbeek WOW…. An answer !!!! I feel so honored - I’ve also read all of Gary’s books. And consider him his precious wife and Kenneth Wapnick as teachers. I don’t know how to do technology and just have an I-phone so I am unable to do classes over internet so far - When I started ACIM I did forgiveness method (per Gary’s instruction ) 8 hours a day for several years - I had a job of meditating (TM course) and dog walking that allowed me to do that … this just came up in my phone this morning … I’M SOOOO GRATEFUL …. Thank You💙🙏💙Peace and Love💙🙏💙
@@maijaliepa119 hehe the answer to end all answers 😜 wow you did the forgiveness practice 8 hrs a day for years?!!!! This blows my mind. What did you experience from it? I bet that was amazing. Especially alongside meditation & doggy love. 💕💖✨
@@francesverbeek 🦋 some amount of peace of mind I experienced after several years.I was at the b-o-t-t-o-m of the barrel (as a baby immigrant with parents coming to USA 1950). So there’s all kinds of baggage. Finally finally I was experiencing some amount of peace of mind(maybe after 6-10 years). It’s gets better. 🌲now I’m at a place where I’m lazy and ok with where I am - ha ha - lazy. Because the reasonable and small amount of peace of mind that I have now is so d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s that I am LAZY to keep-on-trucking. Sigh … maybe I’m stuck? Not sure … back in 2006-2007 I was on a meditation course (TM) where we were paid to be meditating. So I was meditating 6 hrs a day for about 1 1/2++ years back then. Instead of doing given mantra I did forgiveness process. Also while walking beloved dog (had him for 6 years) I did forgiveness process. My mental anguish lifted. Then life went on and on … for many years I was afraid/terrified of the LOVE in ACIM … both in text and Ken Wapnick’s works. Years went by and I was able to start appreciating Ken’s work as my fear gentler down. Gary came to my town in 2004 and I got to say hello. And I got to say hello at an ACIM conference in 2005. 🙋♀️ YAY GARY 🙋♀️ also I e been I. Groups where we’ve read text fully- either once or twice. Probably once. I only got to question 126(about) because I felt more like a failure because I couldn’t be/refused obsessive compulsive about following the guidance .. I resented that I would fail. So let it go - saying to myself, I will live my life forgiving myself and towards being fulfilled in a quiet loving manner. Then pick it up later (maybe next life-time. ha ha) I have Helen’s poetry book: The Gifts of God. When I look at the poems - I feel an arrow of love go into/pierce my heart!!! And I feel that live. Then I used to cry with gratitude. Makes me cry just thinking about it . 🌸 so here I am. Just found your sweet page - and talkin with you. 🦋🌹🦋🌹🦋🌹🦋🌸Thank You for you Love you offer to “humanity” thru your works. 🐾 another manifestation is that I’m able to be kind and loving towards family members. I’m the matriarch of the family (1st generation immigrant) so I am setting a good example for those behind me - my daughter is doing her best as an empath sensitive person (whose son went to heaven age 33 ) , my son is a TM meditator, the other ones are genuine precious geniuses in their own way. We have Vietnamese family, Indian-Jewish son-in-law, African-American young man married with my Vietnamese niece. I’m proud to say we are the American family of the future. Mostly we all love each other - that’s how it’s all “paid off.”💙🙏💙 Thank You God💙🙏💙 I forget to do the daily things Gary does. But I remember to do what Ken said, “(try to)Be kind, fir everyone is carrying a heavy load”. I think it’s in the ACIM book.🦋Love and Peace🦋
PS: I didn’t edit the text - so there might be words missed or misspelled. I just could not go back to read it. …..Sigh ……Forgive me running away with my words … 💙🙏💙 already I love you💙🙏💙🙋♀️and my “human” foibles are: anxiety (I’m sitting with it and thru it on quiet lazy days) and I’m a recovering with life-long off and on eating disorder(receding/dying fibromyalgia: YAY YAY) Those are my 2 areas of living with “myself” while being a kind person on the “outside”. “Working on” leaning towards compassion-mercy-joy towards my self. 🌸that’s more of a whole picture🌹Love you🌹🙋♀️
Gary is good at making Acim easier however it will be a limitation at some point. Following pple that wake up next life time puts you on the same snail pace. But that could be ok for some.
@@francesverbeek my teacher was Jesus. Once you are one with God time of intermediaries is over. Do not let anyone interpret Acim for you. They will take you where u don’t really wanna go no matter how funny or backed up the message. Jesus is talking directly to you in Acim and his words can only be misconstrued by others and they are. Vastly. Choose again.
@@francesverbeek that’s beautiful. We do wb zoom group every day at 7 am Australia time. Quiet time reading lesson and lesson application and more quiet time. It’s called seek only an experience,.. and do not let theology delay you.
Hi Barbara! It’s a quiet video as it was one of the first I did! But the sound is good when viewing on a mobile for some reason, so you could try viewing on your phone if you’re interested 👍🏼
Hey Frances - Would you mind if I share this video on my youtube channel? Very helpful for beginners who subscribe to my channel. Fabulous you mention about the USE of TERMS being used differently by Jesus than commonly understood within the common human thought system. On my channel and some other brothers', we have a youtube video completely devoted to that topic. When brother's were given the direction to print the first edit of ACIM which became known as the Sparkly edition, they were instructed to put the use of terms at the front of the book so the reader gets a sense of what you're speaking about and so when delving into the material, they are familiar with the meaning Jesus uses those terms which somewhat helps make sense of the course when reading it. Of course, the experience is the real teacher and brings true understanding and certainty. Cheers Frances.
Hello! Thank you for watching and great to connect with another course student! Feel free to add this video to a playlist on your channel - this will show up on your playlists page for more students to see 🙏
We don’t live in a “simulation”, or at least not in the sense that it’s like a computer game. Although the computer game metaphor does provide a useful tool to understanding the nature of reality. People generally don’t understand the interplay between the phenomenological world and consciousness. They are not separate from each other, they are one and the same, two sides of the same coin. You have to understand that the phenomenological physical world wouldn’t exist without consciousness. Without a conscious perceiver, physical reality, the universe, is just information. It is the existence of consciousness that decodes that information into a perceivable reality. Much like a computer game is nothing but information on a disc, which is then decoded by the computer and presented as a world on a screen to be experienced. Another aspect to this is the issue of free will. We say we have free will, but you can’t transform yourself into a dragon and fly to Jupiter to eat pancakes with Darth Vader. So we only really have free will within certain parameters. Like the parameters of a computer game. Consider that when you play a big open world computer game, all of the millions of different choices you can make are all encoded on the disc and exist all at once. It seems like you have free will, but every decision you make is already programmed within the parameters of the game. The sum total of all existence and all reality, everything that has existed, does exist and ever will exist, exists at all times infinitely. I think the world we perceive, at the conscious level we perceive it, is a projection down to our third dimensional reality from higher dimensions, which begins at a realm of infinite information and possibility, which then projects down through multiple dimensions and becomes more refined and solid until you start getting perceivable worlds like ours. For an easy way to imagine this, you can take a three dimensional cube and use it to project a shadow of a two dimensional square. If you change the orientation of the cube, the shadow can also look like a hexagon. Nothing has changed at the three dimensional level, just the orientation. This is three dimensions projecting down into two dimensions, but now consider it going up the other way... Try and think of what a four dimensional or five dimensional cube would look like. You can’t, because we live in a three dimensional world. Just like how a being that lived in a two dimensional world wouldn’t be able to imagine what a sphere looks like. It’s not a “simulation”, it’s just the nature of the reality we live in. This is just what it does. Nothing was ever created, nothing is ever truly destroyed. Everything is an endlessly churning, recycling sea of energy and information, that produces consciousness at various levels in order to experience itself objectively.

Sex
As slavery
Alchemize
The pattern
My ability to receive
Was hindered
my words matter
just cuddling
Was disgraced
not being willing
To give my sacred space
I promise my ancestors
That I will never
Allow what they've been through
To dictate
How I behave now
The muscle memory
Of what I've seen
free
From the ways
That have been taught to me
No shame
I have my voice
I am so so tender
I choose this way
I expand beyond the doors
Earth and space
I came to this place
To remember home

Instead of doing given mantra I did forgiveness process. Also while walking beloved dog (had him for 6 years) I did forgiveness process. My mental anguish lifted. Then life went on and on … for many years I was afraid/terrified of the LOVE in ACIM … both in text and Ken Wapnick’s works. Years went by and I was able to start appreciating Ken’s work as my fear gentler down. Gary came to my town in 2004 and I got to say hello. And I got to say hello at an ACIM conference in 2005. 🙋♀️ YAY GARY 🙋♀️ also I e been I. Groups where we’ve read text fully- either once or twice. Probably once. I only got to question 126(about) because I felt more like a failure because I couldn’t be/refused obsessive compulsive about following the guidance .. I resented that I would fail. So let it go - saying to myself, I will live my life forgiving myself and towards being fulfilled in a quiet loving manner. Then pick it up later (maybe next life-time. ha ha) I have Helen’s poetry book: The Gifts of God. When I look at the poems - I feel an arrow of love go into/pierce my heart!!! And I feel that live. Then I used to cry with gratitude. Makes me cry just thinking about it . 🌸 so here I am. Just found your sweet page - and talkin with you. 🦋🌹🦋🌹🦋🌹🦋🌸Thank You for you Love you offer to “humanity” thru your works. 🐾 another manifestation is that I’m able to be kind and loving towards family members. I’m the matriarch of the family (1st generation immigrant) so I am setting a good example for those behind me - my daughter is doing her best as an empath sensitive person (whose son went to heaven age 33 ) , my son is a TM meditator, the other ones are genuine precious geniuses in their own way. We have Vietnamese family, Indian-Jewish son-in-law, African-American young man married with my Vietnamese niece. I’m proud to say we are the American family of the future. Mostly we all love each other - that’s how it’s all “paid off.”💙🙏💙 Thank You God💙🙏💙 I forget to do the daily things Gary does. But I remember to do what Ken said, “(try to)Be kind, fir everyone is carrying a heavy load”. I think it’s in the ACIM book.🦋Love and Peace🦋
PS: I didn’t edit the text - so there might be words missed or misspelled. I just could not go back to read it. …..Sigh ……Forgive me running away with my words … 💙🙏💙 already I love you💙🙏💙🙋♀️and my “human” foibles are: anxiety (I’m sitting with it and thru it on quiet lazy days) and I’m a recovering with life-long off and on eating disorder(receding/dying fibromyalgia: YAY YAY) Those are my 2 areas of living with “myself” while being a kind person on the “outside”. “Working on” leaning towards compassion-mercy-joy towards my self. 🌸that’s more of a whole picture🌹Love you🌹🙋♀️
Gary is good at making Acim easier however it will be a limitation at some point. Following pple that wake up next life time puts you on the same snail pace. But that could be ok for some.
Who are your teachers Cole? If Gary’s sharing can save me 1000 lifetimes I can handle one more 😜
@@francesverbeek my teacher was Jesus. Once you are one with God time of intermediaries is over. Do not let anyone interpret Acim for you. They will take you where u don’t really wanna go no matter how funny or backed up the message. Jesus is talking directly to you in Acim and his words can only be misconstrued by others and they are. Vastly. Choose again.
@@colski3333 thank you Cole 🙏🏼💖 I read ACIM most days so I’m def trying to hear Jesus as much as I can ✨
@@francesverbeek that’s beautiful. We do wb zoom group every day at 7 am Australia time. Quiet time reading lesson and lesson application and more quiet time. It’s called seek only an experience,.. and do not let theology delay you.
Why is the website for ACIM so bad?
🤣 Maybe it’s a perfectly positioned forgiveness opportunity 😜
Ok, I forgive. I'm quite good at forgiveness. :D@@francesverbeek
Another website is The Circle of Atonement. Very well organized.
There seem to be lots of them, which is odd. I want to re-do the ACIM website for them.@@angelas1838
Hehe excellent work. The website has served its higher purpose!
sorry can hardly hear you even on external speakers on MacPro!
Hi Barbara! It’s a quiet video as it was one of the first I did! But the sound is good when viewing on a mobile for some reason, so you could try viewing on your phone if you’re interested 👍🏼
ok thanx will do@@francesverbeek
Hey Frances - Would you mind if I share this video on my youtube channel? Very helpful for beginners who subscribe to my channel. Fabulous you mention about the USE of TERMS being used differently by Jesus than commonly understood within the common human thought system. On my channel and some other brothers', we have a youtube video completely devoted to that topic. When brother's were given the direction to print the first edit of ACIM which became known as the Sparkly edition, they were instructed to put the use of terms at the front of the book so the reader gets a sense of what you're speaking about and so when delving into the material, they are familiar with the meaning Jesus uses those terms which somewhat helps make sense of the course when reading it. Of course, the experience is the real teacher and brings true understanding and certainty. Cheers Frances.
Hello! Thank you for watching and great to connect with another course student! Feel free to add this video to a playlist on your channel - this will show up on your playlists page for more students to see 🙏

Gary Renard
The most brilliant ACIM teacher 🥰☀️ I’m so incredibly grateful for his work.
We don’t live in a “simulation”,
or at least not in the sense that it’s like a computer game.
Although the computer game metaphor does provide a useful tool
to understanding the nature of reality.
People generally don’t understand the interplay
between the phenomenological world and consciousness.
They are not separate from each other, they are one and the same, two sides of the same coin.
You have to understand that the phenomenological physical world
wouldn’t exist without consciousness.
Without a conscious perceiver, physical reality, the universe, is just information.
It is the existence of consciousness that decodes that information into a perceivable reality.
Much like a computer game is nothing but information on a disc,
which is then decoded by the computer and presented as a world
on a screen to be experienced.
Another aspect to this is the issue of free will.
We say we have free will, but you can’t transform yourself into a dragon
and fly to Jupiter to eat pancakes with Darth Vader.
So we only really have free will within certain parameters.
Like the parameters of a computer game.
Consider that when you play a big open world computer game,
all of the millions of different choices you can make are all encoded on the disc
and exist all at once.
It seems like you have free will,
but every decision you make is already programmed within the parameters of the game.
The sum total of all existence and all reality,
everything that has existed, does exist and ever will exist, exists at all times infinitely.
I think the world we perceive,
at the conscious level we perceive it,
is a projection down to our third dimensional reality
from higher dimensions,
which begins at a realm of infinite information and possibility,
which then projects down through multiple dimensions
and becomes more refined and solid
until you start getting perceivable worlds like ours.
For an easy way to imagine this,
you can take a three dimensional cube
and use it to project a shadow of a two dimensional square.
If you change the orientation of the cube, the shadow can also look like a hexagon.
Nothing has changed at the three dimensional level, just the orientation.
This is three dimensions projecting down into two dimensions,
but now consider it going up the other way...
Try and think of what a four dimensional or five dimensional cube would look like.
You can’t, because we live in a three dimensional world.
Just like how a being that lived in a two dimensional world
wouldn’t be able to imagine what a sphere looks like.
It’s not a “simulation”, it’s just the nature of the reality we live in.
This is just what it does.
Nothing was ever created,
nothing is ever truly destroyed.
Everything is an endlessly churning, recycling sea of energy and information,
that produces consciousness at various levels
in order to experience itself objectively.
Thank you so much for your comment! It's a very interesting topic and I really appreciate you taking the time to share all this. 🙏 💖
Hello Frances, I don't know if you saw my reply. I can't see it, so I must have done something wrong. Basically, I wrote that I tried to reply on your site but the capcha wouldn't let me. In fact, there wasn't a capcha, just the tab for one. So I decided to PM my reply on your happi empire Facebook page
Gotcha 👍🏼
Thank you 🌷
