FORGIVING THE ABUSER: OUR ONLY HOPE

Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.

A number of years ago I was asked by Dr. Lois Einhorn, Professor of Communication at the State University of New York,
Binghamton, to contribute to her book: Forgiveness and Child Abuse: Would YOU Forgive? In form, the book is patterned after
Simon Wiesenthals The Sunflower, which presents the famed concentration-camp survivor and Nazi-hunters experiences of being
unable to forgive a young German soldier. The core of the book, however, consists of responses from various world figures as to how
they would have responded if they were in that situation. Lois book deals with her own child abuse, which by far exceeds in cruelty
and viciousness any other account I have read or heard. The book has just been published and I am reprinting my response, which is
one of fifty-three. Those interested in purchasing Forgiveness and Child Abuse: Would YOU Forgive? can do so by going to Lois
Web site: loiseinhorn.com.
For this newsletter, I have included an Afterword that presents some additional observations on this extremely important subject.

Forgiving the Abuser
Living in this world it is difficult to ignore the brutal facts of
what Robert Burns referred to as mans inhumanity to man. The
signs have always been with us, from the brutality of ancient
Rome to the modern-day holocausts of Nazi Germany, Southeast
Asia, Rwanda, and Bosnia1; from the tortures committed in the
name of political or religious ideals to the all-too-common tales
of child abuse and torture, such as we have in Lois Einhorns
graphic portrayal of life in her psychological death camp. How
to make sense of this is one of the greatest challenges to any
observer of the human condition. And it does appear to be a par-
ticularly human condition. Animals kill, but almost always out
of physical need, not the psychological need of a cruel sadist,
intending to bring harm, often brutally, to another. It is a biolog-
ical fact that all living things must feed off external sources to
meet their survival needs, including food, water, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, light, etc. It is also a psychological fact that human
beings have a strong need to project the unconscious darkness of
their self-hatred onto others. This crucial dynamic results in a
condition where they believe and then experience that they are
able magically to escape the pain of this guilt or hatred by
attacking othersverbally, behaviorally, in their thoughts, or a
combination thereof.
These dark forces of hate, buried within all of us, can be
reduced to our need to survivephysically and psychologi-
callya guilt-laden need which ultimately is the expression of
the principle that someone must lose if I am to gain. It is this
all-too-human tendency to find pleasure, satisfaction, and gain

at the expense of others that runs like a blood-drenched thread
throughout our history, both as societies and as individuals. The
clear fact that a vicious minority blatantly lives this out does not
obviate the presence of those same tendencies in all of us.
Freuds systematic study of the dynamic of projectionwherein
we see outside what we find unacceptable insidehelps us to
understand how this phenomenon of projected hate operates in
everyones unconscious. A Course in Miracles, a contemporary
spiritual thought system that builds upon Freuds psychody-
namic insights, offers us a spiritual perspective that does full
justice to our physical/psychological experience in the world, at
the same time affirming our Identity as spirit, the true Self that
transcends this material world entirely, as does, of course, our
Creator, transcending the dualistic and illusory world of good
and evil, victim and victimizer, life and death.
A Course in Miracles teaches that projection makes percep-
tion, that the world is the outside picture of an inward condi-
tion (T-21.in.1:1,5). Therefore, our perceptions of an external
situation reveal the thoughts in our minds that we wish to deny.
It goes without saying that, for example, accusing someone of
being a sinner because of rape does not mean that I am accusing
myself of the specific form of rape. However, the meaning of
such an aggressive act is surely in me as wellthe need at times
to dominate another through sheer force of will or physical
strength in order to have my desires fulfilled; not caring about
the other person, but only myself. Again, that tendency may not
be nearly as extreme or as violent in expression as sexual rape,
but it exists in all of us nonetheless. And it is our guilt over such
a wish that finds its projected scapegoat in actual rapists. Their
blatant sin nicely serves this need of finding a suitable object
for projection, obscuring the fact of our common unity both as
 Forgiving the Abuser (continued)
children of the flesh and of the spirit. In the words of Harry Stack
Sullivan, the founder of the School of Interpersonal Psychiatry:
We are all much more simply human than otherwise.
Unfortunately, being simply human carries with it not only the
capacity for fulfilling our highest aspirations of love and unity,
but also our lowest. As Sullivans statement continues: be we
happy and successfulmiserable and mentally disordered, or
whatever. The challenge to us is that our common humanity
for good and evilis not always so readily apparent.
While in her middle teens, Anna Freud took a walk with her
famous father, and as they passed by some beautiful Viennese
homes Freud said to his daughter: You see those lovely houses
with their lovely facades? Things are not necessarily so lovely
behind the facades. And so it is with human beings too. One
might well add all human beings to Freuds reference, an
addition of which the father of psychoanalysis would almost
certainly have approved, being so aware of the dark forces lurk-
ing within all members of our species.
If we are to fully realize our inherent wholeness as a spiritual
creation of God, we must be willing to forgive, in the sense of
looking first at the outer hatredthe projection of the hatred
within ourselvesand then beyond it to the love that truly
unites us all as one Self. Without this final step, we are con-
demned to what Freud called the repetition compulsion; in this
case, being compelled as a species to repeat endlessly the cycle
of guilt and hate, self-loathing and abuse, fear and attack: the
cruelty that has so characterized our history, both on the collec-
tive and personal levels. All clinicians are more than familiar
with the cyclical pattern of many abused children growing up to
become abusing adults. And the vicious victim-victimizer cycle
that is lived out by individuals sadly recapitulates itself in the
lives of groups, large and small.
I would not be much of a psychologist if I were not aware of
the destructive consequences of denial, and I am certainly not
advocating pushing down memories and thoughts, feelings of
hurt, humiliation, and rage, or attempting to overlook them in
the so-called spirit of forgiveness. Indeed, in so many instances
some form of therapy is necessary as a means whereby people
can first come to accept the pain of what has been denied for so
long. This is an essential step in the process of forgiveness, if
one is going to eventually move beyond the painful, scar-filled
memories of the past to an integrated sense of self that alone can
bring fulfillment and happiness. Once again, we must not deny
what has been done to us, but we all have the capability to grow
beyond a victimized self-concept to realize our true potential as
whole beings. Thus we demonstrate to our abusers that regard-
less of their actions, they ultimately were not damaging to us,
for we were able to use the experience as a means for personal
growth. Importantly, this does not mean allowing others,
unchecked, to abuse us or others; the point here being our atti-
tude towards the attacker. One can certainly act in a firm, strong
manner to prevent attack and abuse without concomitant feel-
ings of hate or revenge.
A Course in Miracles emphasizes that our perceptions are
inherently interpretative. In other words, while our sensory
organs report back to us scenes of hate, abuse, and suffering,
2
these need not be instruments with the power to deprive us of
our ability to grow, mature, and finally to attain inner peace, not
only psychologically but spiritually as well. If these forms of
darkness are accorded such power, then the responsibility lies
not with the events themselves, but with our having made the
event more powerful than the love of God our Source, our con-
stant guide for growth and inspiration for change. This recogni-
tion becomes the basis of true forgiveness: Nothing in the
worldhowever reprehensible, repulsive, and vicioushas the
power to take from us our inner peace and sense of wholeness.
Indeed, the only power that can accomplish this rests within our
own minds, which alone can choose peace or war, forgiveness
or attack, love or hate. Such a principle presents an overriding
challenge to us all, but it is a challenge that we know can be met,
as in the inspiring examples of the Dutch Ten Boom sisters and
the Viennese Victor Frankl during the Nazi Holocaust. Thus, we
need not give the events of our individual lives the power to
deprive us of attaining the highest spiritual goal to which we can
aspire: knowing, truly knowing, our Identity as spirit, part of the
living and loving oneness of God. Extreme examples of brutality
can afford us the opportunity of overcoming the easy temptation
to hate, calling instead on the Love within to teach us how to
forgiveothers and thus ourselves.
A medieval legend provides us with a beautiful example of
this vision of true forgiveness, an ideal that we all should hope
to achieve one day: Jesus and his disciples had gathered together
to re-enact the Last Supper. They waited around the table while
one place remained vacant. Then Judas walked in. Jesus went
over to him and greeted him warmly: Welcome, my brother.
We have been waiting for you. In the same vein, the third-cen-
tury Christian philosopher Origen taught, in words that did not
endear him to the Church authorities, that even the devil would
in the end be saved. In other words, every seemingly separated
fragment of the spiritual creation of God would and will return
Home, as Gods love can only embrace totality. Thus our for-
giveness here in the world reflects the totality and oneness we
all share as spirit.
In summary, then, Lois Einhorns disturbing example of an
extreme form of brutal victimization affords us all still another
opportunity to project our interpretation of events, giving them
the power to destroy our vision of a common humanity. How-
ever, another way of looking at the situation is that we all are
calling out for help, especially the sadistic victimizers, which
reflects our common Identity as spirit. If God is truly love, then
the wholeness of that love can have no exceptions. Thus it is
that even the most heinous act demonstrates, if looked at kindly,
the desperate call for help and love that lies just beneath its
vicious form. It is the same call that cries out in all of us. Learn-
ing to give that call a voice is alone what gives this world mean-
ing. Leaving that call unheard carries the terrible risk of
perpetuating a life of justified hate that continually seeks to pun-
ish others rather than mercifully acknowledge our own need for
mercy and forgiveness. In these days of world crisis we are all
witnessing the horrific implications of not heeding that call. Our
only hopepersonally and collectivelylies in looking within
at the hatred that joins us all in madness, which is at the same
 Forgiving the Abuser (continued)
time the defense against the love that joins us all in sanity. In such
hope is found the true Kingdom of God: a God of all-inclusive
love, a God of perfect oneness, a God whose wholeness embraces
totality, without exception.
Afterword
In our March 2004 newsletter, I amended musicologist H.C.
Robbins-Landons statement about Mozart to read:
A Course in Miracles is as good an excuse for mankinds
existence as we shall ever encounter and is perhaps, after all,
a still, small hope for our ultimate survival.
The hopein Mozart and A Course in Miraclesis that despite
the chaos of the world at large, not to mention our personal worlds,
a light still shines in the darkness of our minds (T-15.XI.2:1-2).
For whatever other reasons people have been attracted to
A Course in Miracles, and people can well be attracted for the
wrong reasons, there is nonetheless something that breathes
through its words to which everyone resonates, whether they
understand the Course fully or not, or whether they even under-
stand it at all. Jesus words offer hope because they come from,
and point to a reality beyond this world. His message of forgive-
ness is all the more relevant now that stories like Lois continue
to emerge almost dailystories that speak of unimaginable cru-
elty and abuse perpetrated on individuals, not to mention racial,
religious, and political groups.
Any abuseindividual or collectiveis horrific, not only
because of the cruelty inherent in the act itself, but because it
reminds us of the abuse we all harbor within our separated
minds, of which we are mostly unaware. While people in their
right minds would never welcome abuse of any nature, once it
has occurred it can nonetheless serve a holy purpose. As the
Course says of specialness, which is always abusive, regardless
of its seemingly benign forms:
Such is the Holy Spirits kind perception of specialness; His
use of what you made to heal, instead of harm (T-25.VI.4:1).
In this regard, an extreme lesson is always helpful (T-6.in.2:1).
Being almost impossible to ignore, it can point to the ego
thought system heretofore unknown to us, for the ego is kept
virtually inaccessible, hidden and protected by the double shield
of oblivion (W-pI.136.5:2): the minds decision for guilt, and its
projection of guilt into the material world of separate bodies.
Moving beyond these two seemingly impenetrable shields and
gaining access to the memory of our true Selfburied in the
minds shrouded vaults of fearis a daunting task, to say the
least:
For the reality of guilt is the illusion that seems to make it
heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a real foundation for
the egos thought system (T-18.IX.5:2).
Nonetheless, its impenetrable appearance is wholly an illusion
(T-18.IX.6:2), and there is a way of moving beyond its walls of
solid granite. However, it takes a radical shift in perception to
move beyond the form to the content. This is the shift that rea-
sonthe Holy Spirits right-minded thought of forgiveness
brings about:
3
Sin [or guilt] is a block, set like a heavy gate, locked and
without a key, across the road to peace. The bodys eyes
behold it as solid granite, so thick it would be madness to
attempt to pass it. Yet reason sees through it easily, because it
is an error. Reason will tell you that the form of error is not
what makes it a mistake. The bodys eyes see only form.
They cannot see beyond what they were made to see.
unable to look beyond the granite block of sin, and stopping at
the outside form of nothing. Yet how can sight that stops at
nothingness, as if it were a solid wall, see truly? It is held back
by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but
form will be perceived (T-22.III.3:2,4-5; 5:1,3,4,6,8-9).
Throughout A Course in Miracles we are not only taught
that the body and its world are illusions, but that they serve a
strategic purpose in the egos thought system of separation,
diverting our attention from the minds decision for guilt,
thereby preventing us from ever changing our minds. The more
compelling the form of the errorextreme pain or pleasure, sin
or holinessthe more attractive its role as a defense. On the
other hand, when the form is looked at through Jesus gentle
eyes of love, it has no power to conceal the minds content: the
original and only mistake of choosing the egos abusive
thought system of separation (kill or be killedM-17.7:11)
over the Holy Spirits healing thought system of Atonement
(together, or not at allT-19.IV-D.12:8).
The fact remains, however, that given the nature of the body
and our experiences within its shield, we cannot gain access to
that ancient mistake, as we read in the manual:
Time really, then, goes backward to an instant so ancient
that it is beyond all memory, and past even the possibility of
remembering (M-2.4:1).
Yet we can remember it indirectly by recognizing that we con-
tinually repeat our one error of choosing the ego over God, fear
over love:
Each day, and every minute in each day, and every instant
that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant when
the time of terror took the place of love (T-26.V.13:1).
Since we are all learning disabled, having consistently
learned from the wrong teacher, it often takes a drastic situation
to dislodge our rootedness in the egos thought system of vic-
timization and blame. Abuse, while never the Will of the Holy
Spirit, can nonetheless be used by Him for a different purpose.
In other words, once the decision-making mind has chosen its
script, our gentle Teacher uses it to lead us beyond the pain to
the peace of God:
The Holy Spirit takes you gently by the hand, and retraces
with you your mad journey outside yourself, leading you
gently back to the truth and safety within. He brings all your
insane projections and the wild substitutions that you have
placed outside you to the truth. Thus He reverses the course
of insanity and restores you to reason (T-18.I.8:3-5).
The ladder that the separation led us down (T-28.III.1:2)
the course of insanitypasses through the wrong-minded
thought system of abuse and ends in the physical world of
abuse, and so our journey with the Holy Spirit reverses the
 Forgiving the Abuser (continued)
process as He leads us up the ladders rungs: the world, the
wrong mind, the right mind, to the One Mind of Heaven that is
beyond the ladder entirely. He begins His teaching where we
believe we arein the abusive world of pain and suffering
and helps us realize that our perceptual world was made to har-
bor a secret wish (T-24.VII.8:8-10): the desire to exist as a sepa-
rate entity with innocence as its justified face. In other words:
We exist, but someone else is responsible for our miserable lot in
life, for which our suffering is the guilt-inducing witness. It is
the need to reinforce this self-concept of the face of innocence
(T-31.V. 1-2) that leads us to cherish our abuse, as painful as it
may be. This aspect of the egos plan calls for us to suffer at the
hands of others, yet we can see through the egos motives by the
tenacity with which we cling to our bitter memories, cherishing
the scars from what has been done to us. This is how one pas-
sage in the Course describes this vicious insanity:
But every pain you suffer do you see as proof that he [your
abusing brother] is guilty of attack. Thus would you make
yourself to be the sign that he has lost his innocence, and need
but look on you to realize that he has been condemned.
Whenever you consent to suffer pain, to be deprived, unfairly
treated or in need of anything, you but accuse your brother of
attack upon Gods Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion
before his eyes, that he may see his sins are writ in Heaven in
your blood and death, and go before him, closing off the gate
and damning him to hell (T-27.I.2:2-3; 3:1-2).
Thus do we all walk this earth with our memories of past
hurt and abuse, clinging to them as proof that we are innocent,
and others guilty of our suffering to the point that they would be
condemned to hell, while we return to Heaven as Gods innocent
Son. And yet, even this secondary gain of demonstrating our
unfair treatment becomes too much to bear:
Tolerance for pain may be high, but it is not without limit.
Eventually everyone begins to recognize, however dimly,
that there must be a better way (T-2.III.3:5-6).
This better way is forgiveness, which calls upon us to change
the purpose of our lives from proving the reality of the separation
to reflecting the oneness of our creation. Jesus teaches us that all
people involved in our livesthe good and the bad, the abused
and the abusersare part of the same Sonship to which we
belong; indeed, to which we all belong. The strong temptation to
exclude our abusers is the perfect opportunity to learn we but
exclude ourselves.
I have from time to time quoted from Helen Schucmans first
poem, The Gifts of Christmas. The opening lines are directly
relevant to this issue:
Christ passes no one by. By this you know
He is Gods Son. You recognize His touch
In universal gentleness. His Love
Extends to everyone. His eyes behold
The Love of God in everything He sees.
(The Gifts of God, p. 95; italics mine)
If only the abused are to be pitied, if only the victims are the
object of our sympathy, then we maintain the reality of the frag-
mented Sonship, to the delight of everyones ego. Yet, if Jesus
truth be accepted, the abuser and victimizer are as much in need
of our pity and sympathy, for who but the uncertain, lonely and
fearful (T-31.VIII,7:1) would ever seek to harm another, and
who but the uncertain, lonely and fearful would ever wander
here, so far from home? Indeed, who is here but the uncertain,
lonely and fearful? And so no onevictim or victimizeris
exempt from the vision of Christ, Who sees all Gods seemingly
separated Sons as oneone wrong-minded ego; one right-
minded Holy Spirit; one decision maker.
Therefore, if we are sincere about our desire to be forgiven
and awaken from this nightmare dream of separation, pain, and
death, we must also be sincere about our willingness to practice
the lessons that are the means of attaining this goal. It is the all-
inclusive nature of forgiveness, which embraces all people with-
out exception, that makes the practice of A Course in Miracles
so difficult, and at the same time vitally important for our age.
Jesus has called us to forgive as he does. Will we answer?
Nothing less than the fate of an abusive and abused world
depends on it. Q

T HE A RCH OF FORGIVENESS . This book is derived from a number of different classes held at the Foundation, unified by
the theme of contrasting life within and without the arch of peace, its pillars framed by Jesus and his message of forgiveness.
This discussion drew its inspiration from the image of an arch immortalized by D.H. Lawrence in his novel The Rainbow. As
the child in the story was freed to live her life framed by the pillars of love and strength represented by her parents, so Jesus
asks us to view our daily lives as framed between the pillars of forgiveness, allowing its quiet strength and gentle protection to
nourish our experience and sustain our learning. We thus grow in our recognition of the contrast between life under Jesus
arch of love and safety, and life under the egos unsafe arch of the body. The final chapter of the book consists of questions
and answers from other classes and workshops. These augment the preceding discussion through exploring the practical
applications of the principles of living under the arch.

F ORM VERSUS C ONTENT : SEX AND MONEY. The near-universal preoccupation with the issues of sex and money can be
traced to the egos agenda concealed in our mindsspecifically, its plan to keep us rooted in the body and the world so we
will never get to the real source of pain and conflict, which is the minds decision to sustain the separation from God, but not
be held responsible for it. In the context of the egos principles and its doctrine of specialness and separate interests, both sex
and money are shown to be behavioral forms that give expression to the content of our minds. The focus in this book, there-
fore, is on identifying the content that gives rise to the guilt, conflict, myths, and obsession associated with sex and money.
Forgiveness enables us to shift our attention from the complexity of behavior to the simplicity of purpose. Thus sex and
money, which have come to express the egos guilt-inducing thought system of one or the other, are transformed in purpose to
reflect the Holy Spirits healing principle of together, or not at all.

W HAT IT SAYS : FROM THE PREFACE OF A C OURSE IN MIRACLES . One year after the Course was published in 1976,
and in response to many requests, Helen Schucman wrote an introduction to the Course material. It was in three parts and was
called the Preface. As the third of this three-part Preface to the Course, What It Says was scribed by Helen through the same
process of inner dictation from Jesus as was the Course itself. It provides a succinct overview of the spiritual journey pre-
sented in A Course in Miracles. It is a remarkable piece, elevating the reader to the same level of thought and experience
found in the Course itself. The book consists of a line-by-line commentary.

JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORKBOOK OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES. This eight-volume set is the product of a series of 58
classes conducted at our Foundations former location in New York. The classes consisted of a line-by-line analysis of the
lessons, introductions, reviews, summaries, and the Epilogue. The original discussion has been enlarged considerably, and
many additional references included to other relevant portions of the Course, the Preface, the two pamphlets, poems from The
Gifts of God, and the prose poem The Gifts of God. This work can thus be seen as a complete Course companion to
accompany students on their own journey through the workbook. The purpose of this bookas it was in the classes that
inspired itis to help students of A Course in Miracles better understand the meaning of the lessons and their place in the
overall curriculum of the Course. Most of all, the purpose is to help students see the importance of applying the daily lessons to
their everyday lives. Without such application, the brilliance of Jesus words is wasted, and they become simply a sterile system
of intellectual teachings.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN: OUR MOST DIFFICULT CLASSROOM. This book focuses on what it means to be a right-minded
parent and a right-minded child. The role of parent involves being faithful to that role as it evolves, while at the same time
respecting the childs decision-making mind to choose its life experiences. The parents choice is whether to perceive the
child through the eyes of the ego or the Holy Spirit. Spiritual maturity is attained when we no longer think of our parents or
parental surrogates as authoritieson the level of contentbut as brother and sister walking with us on the path that leads us
home. Thus, both forms of this primary relationship can exemplify Jesus message of forgiveness: not seeing anothers inter-
ests as separate from our own. Much of the discussion is based on issues raised by students stemming from their roles as par-
ents and children.

THE TEMPLE OF THE H OLY SPIRIT . This 2003 workshop contrasts the egos and the Holy Spirits purposes for the body.
The ego uses the body to reinforce its thought system of separation and guilt, with particular emphasis placed on the special
relationship. From the perspective of A Course in Miracles, the biblical view of the body falls into that category. The Holy
Spirit, on the other hand, uses the body as a means of communication, undoing the egos thought system through forgiveness.
This is expressed in the holy relationship, which occurs only in the mindthe seat both of the mistaken choice for the ego
(the temple of separation) and the right-minded choice for the Holy Spirit (the temple of forgiveness).

WHAT I S A C OURSE IN MIRACLES: THEORY AND PRACTICE . This album consists of two lectures given at the A.R.E. in
Virginia Beach in September 2005. They comprise an overview of the Course, with emphasis on the importance of forgive-
ness. The framework is the Courses integration of a non-dualistic metaphysics with Freuds psychodynamic understanding of
the ego, the source of the Courses uniqueness as a spiritual teaching. Following this path, we are led by the Holy Spirit
beyond the egos defensive walls of the body and guiltfrom mindlessness to mindfulnessto the love that is our true Self.

CAUSE AND E FFECT . Cause and effect is one of the key themes in A Course in Miracles, for it underlies not only the egos
thought system of separation, but also the Holy Spirits correction of forgiveness. Thus, we learn that the cause of distress is
not externalregardless of the form of upsetbut the minds decision for guilt. By returning the cause from the body to the
mind, we give ourselves another opportunity to choose again. Placing cause and effect in their true relationship, we are able to
undo the egos cause, thus remembering our true Causethe God Who created us like Himself.

(PLEASE NOTE: This 2004 lecture is not the same as on item T-13, which has been discontinued.)

THE FOUR SPLITS OF SEPARATION R EVISITED. The workshop presents the egos thought system of separation within the
framework of four splits: 1) mind from Mind; 2) split mind: wrong mindright minddecision maker; 3) wrong mind from
right mind: sin-guilt-fear (A-B-C); 4) world and body from mind (A-B-C). These differing aspects of separation and fragmen-
tation are undone through forgiveness, the process of realizing that our separation from each other is illusory, and that the only
truth within our dream of splitting off from God is to reflect His perfect Oneness by understanding that our interests are one,
for we share the same split mind.
Audio: T-122 four tapes $20.00 CD-122 four CDs $25.00

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND H EALING . Although this workshop covers many aspects of the Courses approach to psychotherapy,
its principal focus is on therapists learning not to judge their patientsthe basis for healing. Thus, therapists demonstrate their
right-minded choice for forgiveness instead of judgment, reinforcing the power of the patients mind to make the same choice.
The emphasis of therapy, therefore, shifts from the symptoms to their underlying causethe decision to be separate, born of
the fear of love. Without judgment to block remembrance, this love naturally extends throughout the mind, proclaiming the
healing of both therapist and patient. (Presented at Fordham University in New York City, May 2005)
Audio: T-120 four tapes $20.00 CD-120 six CDs $35.00

H ELEN SCHUCMAN : A G IFT OF G OD . This workshop focuses on Kenneths relationship with the scribe of A Course in
Miracles, centering in part on the importance of accepting the choices people make, so that we can see past what appear to be
clouds of darkness to the light of Christ that shines so brightly in each of us. This allows us to recognize, as was so demonstra-
ble in Helen, the universality of the split mind and the Mind of Christ.

PUBLICATIONS FROM THE FOUNDATION FOR INNER PEACE

The complete Course is now available in a smaller-sized edition (8"x 5" differing from the 9"x 6" regular-sized
editions). Printed on the same quality paper as the traditional Softcover and Hardcover editions, this newly
designed books type size is slightly smaller than that of the traditional versions. Anexo a Un curso en milagros, the
new Spanish translation of the supplements (Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process, and Practice and The Song of
Prayer) is also available. Both of these publications may be ordered from the Foundation for Inner Peace Web site
(www.acim.org), as well as our order form on page 18.

EXCERPTS SERIES
Our next series of excerpts are from our tape album Our Gratitude to God, a workshop presented by Kenneth in
1989 at our former location in New York. The theme is discussed in the context of our gratitude to God, Jesus, and
the Holy Spirit, and to each other. The many forms of our resistance to being grateful are considered, and are
shown to stem ultimately from our resentment over God as our Creator. Our expressions of gratitude, therefore,
help us undo this original error. These excerpts can be found at the Foundations Web site at www.facim.org.

This opening line of one of William Wordsworths most well-known poems serves as the theme for this class. Our uttering
such a statement is what the Holy Spirit has been waiting for, since it is our invitation that He teach us another way of living
here. Admitting our miserable state as a body in a world that is overwhelming allows His gentle lessons to enter our minds,
wiping away our tears as misery shifts to happiness. Discussion will be augmented by recommended readings.

A-5 THE CRY OF SPECIALNESS: D O BE MY ENEMY FOR FRIENDSHIP S SAKE

William Blakes statement about his patron highlights the ambivalent nature of our special relationships. Our special loves
our friendsend up betraying our love and friendship, so much so that we feel more trusting of our enemies, who at least
are up front about their enmity. In that sense, we feel more comfortable with our special hate relationships. The strange and
insane dynamics of the special relationship will thus be the subject of our discussion and list of readings.

A-6 T HE C ALL OF H OLINESS : B E KIND , FOR EVERYONE YOU MEET IS FIGHTING A HARD BATTLE

This plea for kindness and understanding for all people from Plato or Philo (history is unclear as to the author) underscores
Jesus message in A Course in Miracles. He asks us to be tolerant of our brothers, learning they are one with us and thereby giv-
ing up all judgment that merely separates and attacks. Understanding everyones hard battle as the wrong mind struggling to
survive allows us to see pain instead of sin, and answer with kindness instead of attack. This important principle of healing will
be explored through discussion and readings.

A-7 INTELLIGENT DESIGN: GOD OR THE EGO?

Dates: July 23 25 Fee: $90.00
A-7D1 July 23 Fee: $30.00 A-7D2 July 24 Fee: $30.00 A-7D3 July 25 Fee: $30.00
The current furor over intelligent design provides the framework for this class, which explores the cosmogony and
cosmologythe worlds origin and natureaccording to God and the ego. Truly, there is intelligent design behind the physical
universe, since the ego is quite ingenious in its strategy to make Gods Son mindless, ensuring he will never choose against the
egos insane separation and for the Holy Spirits sane Atonement. However, seeing through the egos plan, we are able to pro-
vide a truly intelligent design for the world: a classroom in which we learn forgiveness and shared interests, instead of special-
ness and separate interests.

A-8 SPECIALNESS: HIGHLY FED AND LOWLY TAUGHT

Dates: August 27 29 Fee: $90.00
A-8D1 August 27 Fee: $30.00 A-8D2 August 28 Fee: $30.00 A-8D3 August 29 Fee: $30.00
This phrase from Shakespeares Alls Well that Ends Well aptly summarizes the egos thought system of specialness.
Through lecture, discussion, and readings, we shall explore how invested we are in feeding the egos need to make others into
special love or hate objects, and yet how little we have learned about the futility of these special relationships. By resigning as
our own teacher (T-12.V.8:3), we at last learn to turn away from our lowly teaching (T-28.I.7:1) and accept Jesus teachings of
forgiveness instead.

A-9 THE DECISION FOR GOD

Dates: September 17 19 Fee: $90.00
A-9D1 September 17 Fee: $30.00 A-9D2 September 18 Fee: $30.00 A-9D3 September 19 Fee: $30.00
In this world the only remaining freedom is the freedom of choice; always between two choices or two voices (C-1.7:1).
Through lecture, discussion, and readings, this class will explore this freedom of the mindthe worlds only true powerto
decide for the ego or for God. The process of correcting our wrong-minded choice for guilt is the essence of forgiveness, the
miracle that exchanges mindfulness for mindlessness, peace for conflict, truth for illusion. Our willingness to decide for God
and the Holy Spirits Atonement is all Jesus needs to teach his lessons of salvation and lead us home.
