I'm going to put it out there--Heavenly Father, please send students to me, as I am ready to serve Your Word and teach only love, to help all speed our homecoming. I'm here, and I'm ready--and motivated. In jesus name, amen.
as i understand it, we're always teachers, no matter what we do. for better, or worse, obvs the idea's to be for better. me, i've no clue what i could do, old/ill ectr. what i do do is smile more, be nicer, more supportive/helpful, even just in shops or whatever [ i don't get out much ] chats to neighbours, postman ectr ,and on the road. some days i think my main contribution is letting cars/people in/out/cross. :) and , being happy/light while i'm home alone, rather than depressed /sadd/wallowing. [i have done a lot of clearing, so i'm not talking about suppressing the sad. ] if thinking is as important, or more than doing , then even alone, it should make a difference. and online, that' another, not just posting things, but interaction. no more '' debate'' for me ;) then again, thinking. it's a whole spiritual practice for me to see comments/posters in light rather than think about how stupid ectr they are. jeez, it never ends!
I enjoyed this very much. I would so love to have a place of devotion/teaching and learning here in NYC. This is where it all started, and it appears that they're are no study groups here anymore. Its frustrating.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added onto, including your own teacher, the Holy Spirit. You don’t need an external teacher to go ‘deep’. You are complete, whole and self sufficient onto your SELF. Dare to find that reality!
Dear Joseph, agree with you completely! Jesus said in the Gospel Matthew that He was to be our only Teacher! He said call no one else is your Teacher. Then in the Gospel of John - Jesus said I will send each of you personally My Spirit & I will teach you all things. Our Divine Inner Guide Jesus will speak to each of us personally in our hearts. We just have to listen to His gentle voice. He talks & walks with each of us. We do not need ACIM Course teachers, popes, priests, ministers, .... anyone to teach us; except Jesus! This is the Course In Miracles! It is a Self-Study! I like the Circle of Atonement podcasts - but I feel this podcast is not about Jesus - but more on ego. I am dismayed they are starting a ACIM Academy for teaching ones to be Course teachers as a professional career (even having classes on how to make sales pitches; & revenue;.....). The cost of this 6 month class is $2,500. A student of the Course does not need any of this - We are students & teachers of each other in our daily lives. The Course teaches us to daily extend Love wherever we are! This is a vocation "a calling" to each of us! It is not a worldly professional career. An ACIM Academy is like setting up an ACIM hierarchy. This is so foreign to what Jesus says in the Course. I like very much other podcasts on the Circle of Atonement. I agree with them wholeheartedly that ACIM is not "non-dual." Thanks Joseph for your comment - which resonates with me!
Robert, maybe you are looking in the wrong place that you don't see new voices and new teachers in the Course community. I see a great variety of Course teachers that have a very fresh approach to the Course. And yes, the Course is talking a lot about teachers, but it always talks about God's teachers or teachers of God and not about teachers of the Course, nor is it talking about making A Course In Miracles a full time career. The Course will find it's own ways to the hearts and minds of the people.
@harrypeijs5915 and @josephgrabowski1463 I think that some excellent points were made in this video. Thanks to RUclips teachers like Robert and Emily, Keith Kavanaugh I found out that I was doing forgiveness the wrong way. Apart from the suffering, confusion and agony that caused, it could have taken me a very long time before I would have figured that out by myself. I think it is a Buddhist saying that says "on a trip of a thousand miles, the first step is the most important." If you take that step in the wrong direction and you take no counsel from others...
Thanks for your reaction. I did not say one should take no counsel from others and in fact I do take counsel from several teachers. In fact you are mentioning one of them: Keith Kavanaugh. I see him as one of the new voices and new teachers of God.
I loved this so much!
Indeed! Lesson 154: I am among the ministers of God.
Another wonderful discussion. Your dialogues are inspiring others to be better students of the Course. Thank you

Dear Emily and Robert, It's a very good video, many thanks. I find Harry's comment valid, please can you say something about it?
Is there a link for where this is located? Could not find it on the links provided.
