I’ve been an ACIM student since 2004. I met Ken Wapnick and personally know many well respected teachers in the ACIM community who do not comprise on the purely non dualistic teaching. I found this channel about 6-7 months ago and in terms of progress, Kieth’s videos have exponentially improved my understanding of the courses teachings by orders of magnitude. His ability to simplify some of the most complex ACIM teachings while at the same time keeping his style and delivery relevant, fresh, funny, and relatable is unmatched in my humble opinion. As a ACIM teacher, he’s helped me really break through a plateau in my progression with ACIM that I’d felt for many years.
So….only by forgiving (accepting what I perceive as uncomfortable and wrong in the world) do I become CONSCIOUS, (awakened) and no longer adrift, abandoned, alone and separated from all that is (God). Therfore, becoming conscious/awakened COMFORTS me in the present moment, soothes, uplifts, delivers me from my perceived hell. I am NOW one self unified with my Creator, in safety and wellbeing.
First of all,, Keith,, thank you,thank you,thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️ I’ll try not to make this to long 😂. I have started with my personal private thoughts that mean nothing. Seeing them, not judging them and forgiving them. They are covering up the Holy Spirit, the love of God in my mind. When I experience the silence in my mind the love of God is uncovered, and comes to the foreground in my mind and love is extended to my brother ❤️ How wonderful is it to see that Love is all there is,, all that ever was, and all that there will ever be!❤️ And that is in each and every one of us!❤️ I am retired and the high point of my day is going to the store and making eye contact with my brother, saying hi and smiling. Sometimes helping him find something or reaching for something he needs, sharing a Holy moment, extending the Love of God. Extending the Love of God is such a powerful force!! Makes me happy 😃. Sometimes when I think about it I remember that everything is in motion,, made up of molecules and Adam’s flying around,, everything is in flux. Helps me to remember that I am walking in a dream,, lol😂 much Love to all of you! My brothers!❤️ thanks again Keith!!!❤️❤️❤️
Ken Wapnick talked a lot about the massive resistance we all have and the importance of mind training to slowly undo the lies, revealing what was there all along hidden in plain sight.... "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God." With all that said, I'm a work in progress!
Dear Keith, Around 1 hour into this podcast you slowed down and I could feel the truth and compassion in your voice (from the heart) as you answered these two ladies questions. Prior to that you spoke much too quickly for me to absorb the information and I found your laughter unhelpful, probably because I couldn't join with it. When you answered these two ladies questions slowly and compassiondtlg, I got it.
Acim is much deeper than my initial understanding, when I did it and learnt I am not the body 30 years ago. Now I see this matches my current enlightened state. No me to be enlightened. 😂
Hey Keith! OK so, when I seemingly look out and see peace joy and delight, that is the "happy dream" however even that can be looked upon with no judgement and forgiven because that too is a dream and God is the only reality. So, even tho, in this dream it feels "better" to witness the joy and peace, the contents of my mind, that still is just perception. 😊 Would you care to elaborate on this? Thank you🙏🏼🎶
You want to see everything as the same. "Good things" and "joy" to the ego are just less awful than other things. It is in the Holy Spirit's unification of purpose that everything is the same and is holy, the same holiness everywhere and, in the absence of judgement, the quiet dimension of Being, the Changelessness you are, makes itself known in everything and everyone.
There are some contradictions in the course with regards to the healing and miracles stuff. It’s a channeled work. I think we can learn to accept the contradictions much as we do with contradictions in other scriptures. I think it’s important that we are *honest* about those contradictions and the questions they generate. The scribes Christian Science background clearly influenced much of the thinking around the healing ideas. The gospels also abundantly talk about physical healings. So we can see the etiology of these ideas. We needs to be intellectually honest about this. It doesn’t diminish the value of the course!
Would you please weave this into the practical side of life and talk about money? It must apply. There must be a way to see money and step outside it’s trap (lack of). You too must use money. Is there anywhere that you speak about it in practical terms. Looking at money and say it means nothing when the rent must be paid is what I want to understand. If you are unwilling to speak about money, can you direct me to someone who has your understanding and will talk about it? Thank you. Great podcast.
@pedrogonzales9202 bills get paid or don't. It has no effect on the Peace the Beingness you are in the Holy Spirit. The body gets crucified or it doesn't. It has no effect on the Peace of the Beingness you are in the Holy Spirit. When the mind is still, and not jumping all over the place with guilt and fear, the Intelligence of Spirit operates in the Stillness instead of the cunningness of the ego in the noise. There is a spontaneous response to appearances that is the most loving, helpful and most effective action for everyone concerned with the situation and there is no investment in it for peace. That is already established by being in your right mind instead of the wrong mind. The response is born of this Peace and not an attempt to establish it through a future event in time.
@@acimwithkeith Your first paragraph is very potent. It’s not what I wanted to hear but now I get it. You are saying that recognition of beingness/ oneness IS and appearance plays out as it plays out. What do you mean - “… there is no investment in it for peace”?
@pedrogonzales9202 a wrong minded decision is an attempt to find peace through magic - it says the cause of lack of peace is in the world and my salvation is a future event in the world that restores peace to me. The cause is in the world and the solution is in the world. This is "seek and do not find" until death and no lasting happiness. The world is never the cause of my lack of peace. There is no cause in the world and not even cause and effect in the world. It is purely an effect and cannot cause you peace or non-peace. Only what you're doing with your mind restores you to the Peace that is an innate quality of what you are or seems to take you away from it by identification as a body and an insane voice talking to itself. "I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts"
@@acimwithkeith Wow. Well that will boil off some impurities! (As well as answer my question as to leave no doubt- I’m glad I asked) Today was my first time listening to you. I can feel it is precisely what I needed to hear. This is extremely blunt yet helpful as no sigue coating can be. Thank you very much for taking the time. Ps why do you call it “magic”?
@sharon258 YES! Good spot! The thinking mind interprets the Stillness of Being in you as death and will try to scare you away from the Silence where the memory of God is in your mind. This is the "outside ring of fear". "Yet God can bring you there, if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you and leave you there. For it is not His purpose to frighten you, but only yours. You are severely tempted to abandon Him at the outside ring of fear, but He would lead you safely through and far beyond." If you sit in the middle of that fear without telling yourself stories about it, without thoughts about it, with no judgement of it or projection of meaning onto it, you will break through it to the Stillness beyond it and see through the illusion of identity. This is an awakening. The fear doesn't last that long - forgiveness of it for 5 to 10 minutes can take you through it. Work up to that forgiveness of the fear if necessary. Approach it fresh every day. You are not your thoughts. You have misperceived yourself. You are Pure Beingness and that identity is restored to you on the other side of "the outer ring of fear".

I agree !! Keith's explanations are indeed incredibly helpful!!
❤🎉
I really appreciate the questions, and answers 🙃 this is some incredible stuff!!
Listening again...this is worth listening to every day! Thanks Keith! 💗

you’re not adrift/abandon/alone/separate from All That Is
It's easier than that, Carol. There's a few talks on this channel that explain it.
I'm only learning this myself ....
1:03:07 IT SHOULD BE THUS... All of that situation is perfect to awaken you from the dream of death (answer to my question about my dad's situation)

I am never upset for the reason I think
When the ego steps into the fray.
It’s because it SEEMS I am separated
From God and His Holy Way.
OMG THANK YOU NOW!!! 😅😇
Love your talks man. Fantastic work.
Thanks Keith❗️This is gold, the sun (Son) is shining 🔆⚜️🫶
"You are already the stillness at the end of the world, looking at the after-image fading, of a world that's done."
Cool.
Such a great Poscast. Needed to hear this again. Blessings!! ❤❤🙏
Thank you Keith 💚💜💚
Gorgious podcast. Thank you Keith !!!
So clear and concise.
So easy to understand.
So nearly impossible to accept.
The resistance seems overwhelming.
Thanks so much for being here for us.

Just watched this one amazing teaching, such clarity, thanks Keith❤
