ACIM Speaks Podcast
A series on the Vedanta
Ashtavakra Gita, Part Four
Episode 41

This ACIM Speaks podcast is the fourth in a series on the Vedanta. In it, we read from The Ashtavakra Gita. Introductory comments are brief this time as Janaka continues and Ashtavakra responds.

There is a section in A Course in Miracles where this verse appears and that entire section is nearly identical in essence to the Ashtavakra Gita that we are reading in this series. Raise your hand if you know what that section is (comment or send feedback via the contact form). Thanks for listening!

Peace The Logical Outcome

Many people will tell you that A Course in Miracles is about forgiveness. That is true, however, there are many passages within the Course where the word forgiveness is not used, but the logical conclusion is a state of peace. The peace of mind might be called a result of forgiveness, but the word itself is not needed for the state to occur.

A phrase in the text, "belief beyond question," exemplifies this logical conclusion in what I am calling mini-lessons of pure logic that results in peace of mind. I put it on the web site in eight parts to make it easy to absorb and settle in the mind.

Then there is a phrase, "perception beyond belief," which follows and brings us deeper into peace. I put this section on the web site in five parts.

In all cases, the italics in these pages were the words typed in all caps when Helen and Bill were typing them. This was, of course, before personal computers were available and typewriters did not usually have an option to type italics. If the sections are used in the brief quotes, the italics will be made bold (because the quote sections are already in italics).

Finally, I came upon the idea to put selections like these into a new section in the Books of ACIM called Selections and Mini-Chapters from the text of A Course in Miracles

These selections from the Course seem to be self-contained and holographic in that they contain the whole message of the Course. We can use these passages and learn the whole, if we choose. I'll be putting more of these passages online. Look for the new titles in the upper right corner of the web site.

So, while I have been slow at publishing new blog posts, I have been working on continuing to make The Miracles Journal Project web site an ever present resource for all. And, speaking of resource, I also will be adding a section of references that are part of the extended Course, things that have been mentioned or referred to within the text of A Course in Miracles. The first of these is The New Testament Resouce 1: The New Testament.
