The following series of posts, begun on May first, are taken
from Ken Wapnick’s, Journey Through the Workbook of a Course in Miracles,
Vol. Seven, pages 69-72. They
represent a radical alternative to our ‘normal’, everyday view of the human
body and our traditional views of spirituality.
This view is both horrifying and exhilarating. See what you think. It’s best not to swallow these ideas whole,
nor reject them out of hand. What’s best
is to chew them over, mull them and reflect upon the rare occasions when the
ideas seem to explain your experience.
The Course itself is believed to be channeled by Jesus as a correction
to what’s been done with his ideas.
“Having caused a veil to fall across the Son’s mind, blotting
out all memory of how and why the body was made, the ego ensures he will forget
the body’s specific purpose, with no memory of its source. Even if we are regressed to the moment of
birth, the birth canal, the womb, or even the egg and sperm, we still have no
memory of the mind from which we came.
“No matter how many past lives we may access, no
recollection remains of the mind the ego has obliterated from our
remembrance. Thus is the ego allowed to
lie and lie and lie yet again, for we have forgotten that the current lie was a
defense against the previous one, which defended against the lie that came
before that. By the ego’s making us
forget what preceded our existence, we have no way of questioning its strategy.”
