Revelations about the revealer
of "A Course in Miracles"
Although this article was written in 1984, its relevance and timeliness
in the here-and-now will become obvious in the process of its reading.
In recent years a popular spiritual movement came to its fruition that
became very successful among many people. This movement adopted a
spiritual philosophy contained in three volumes of A Course In
Miracles. The first time this book was published was in 1975. Since that
time, A Course In Miracles enjoyed twelve consecutive printings (by
1984) and became well-known throughout the world among
professionals and lay people alike. Many successes were reported as a
result of the application of the principles contained in A Course In
Miracles.
Many people are asking what the understanding of A Course In
Miracles, from the standpoint of The New Revelation, is.
Some people, who are familiar with both philosophies, readily point out
that there are striking similarities between A Course In Miracles and
The New Revelation and its methodological tools.
It is not by coincidence that A Course In Miracles commenced its
formulation and development approximately at the same time when the
very first steps of the transmission of The New Revelation was taken in
the form of the development of the principles of Spiritual Hypnosis.
As was pointed out many times before, and particularly in the first
Chapter of Major Ideas of The New Revelation, any new revelation is
accompanied by a concurrent pseudo-new revelation fabricated in the
hells. One of the tendencies of this pseudo-new revelation is to utilize
and include many genuine and original ideas of The New Revelation in
order to falsify, pervert and distort the most important, vital and crucial
ideas and concepts of The New Revelation. Such is the nature of the
negative state — to take over all ideas of the truth and utilize them in the
manner and way which serves its purpose, that is, for its permanent
continuation and flourishing. Because of the importance of the issues
discussed in this article, before making any attempt in evaluating the
true source and the content of A Course In Miracles, the inquiry was
submitted to the spiritual world, particularly to The Lord Jesus Christ,
to reveal the truth and genuine source of this philosophy.
The answer to the inquiry was that we are advised to submit the
content of A Course In Miracles to a spiritual test as described in the
first Chapter of Major Ideas of The New Revelation.
This was done and alarming results came out of this test. In order to
make sure that this was not the wishful thinking of the inquirer, the test
results were submitted to The Lord Jesus Christ for verification. They
were fully confirmed and corroborated independently by The Lord Jesus
Christ and by The High Council of The New Heavenly Society.
The results of this testing is being shared with you for your consideration
in the following eight points.
1. From the entire content of the first volume of A Course in Miracles,
it is obvious that the one who speaks there calls himself the Christ. Thus,
we can conclude that the author of A Course in Miracles is the so-called
Christ. In this first volume, the name The Lord Jesus Christ is never
together, or, if it is, it appears only a very few times. This is surprising,
taking into consideration the 622 pages of that volume. This is by no
means a coincidence. As you know, one of the major tests of the
verification of any philosophy is what kind of conceptualization of the
nature of The Lord Jesus Christ is reflected in that philosophy. This is
the most important and crucial test. From such a conceptualization, the
significance and the importance of any philosophical and spiritual
concept stems and falls.
The major idea of The New Revelation in this respect ,is that there is only
One God Indivisible Who is The Lord Jesus Christ, The True Most High,
Who made His/Her Divine human, and subsequently, made His/Her
Human Divine. The Divine which was made human was called Jesus,
and the Human which was made Divine and which was united and
integrated into the very essence and substance of The Lord Jesus Christ
— the Father — is called the Christ. Thus, The Lord Jesus Christ, after
His/Her glorification, that is, after this crucial unification, became the
only One God Indivisible. There is no other God. From this revelation it
is obvious that The Lord Jesus Christ is the only One Who Absolutely
always Is and therefore, He/She cannot be created. He/She is the only
One Who is uncreated.
Now, throughout the first volume of that book, as well as throughout all
three volumes, the Christ and God are perceived as two separate
entities, one uncreated and the other created.
From this obvious separation, it stems that the content of A Course in
Miracles is not the revelation of the true Lord Jesus Christ.
2. The difficulties that A Course in Miracles has in putting the name
of The Lord Jesus Christ together is very obvious. On page 55 of the third
volume of A Course In Miracles, it is stated: “The name of Jesus Christ
is but a symbol.” On page 83, the name is hyphenated, Jesus hyphen
Christ. It states there “the name of Jesus is the name of one who was a
man but saw the face of Christ in all his brothers and remembered God.
So he became identified with Christ, and a man no longer, but one with
God.” And page 85 of the same volume indicates that the Christ, the Son
of God, was created by God. And in answer to the question on page 83,
“Is Jesus the Christ?” It answers hastily; “Oh, yes, along with you.”
In this conceptualization, there is no original connectedness between
Jesus and Christ but a total separation, as though they are two different
persons — the Christ being a creation of God, and Jesus a simple man
who allowed that Christ to enter him and identified himself with him.
This conceptualization is contradictory even to the literal sense of the
Holy Bible. In the Gospel According to Luke, in Chapter 1, verse 31-32,
we read, “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a
son, and shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the
Son of the Highest.”
From this text it is obvious that it was Jesus who was to be called the Son
of God. Thus, Jesus was not an ordinary man as A Course In Miracles
would like us to believe. Notice, please, that falsification and distortion
goes against Jesus and not the Christ. Why is it so? The most dangerous
concept for the negative state is the concept that Jesus is the true
Essence of The Lord Jesus Christ — the Absolute Divine Love and Good,
and the Christ, is the true Substance — the Absolute Divine Wisdom and
Truth. The acceptance into one’s life of all the principles of love and good,
as represented by Jesus, means the end of the negative state. Such an
acceptance transforms the recipients and makes a revolutionary change
in their lives in the positive sense only. This is the reason why the
negative state so desperately fights against the acceptance of Jesus as
the true God.
On the other hand, the acceptance of the Christ as the Son of God
doesn’t constitute any danger for the negative state because truth
(Christ) without love and good has no life in itself and, therefore,
cannot bring any changes or elimination of the negative state from
people’s lives. Christ without Jesus is a meaningless and empty notion.
On the other hand, Jesus without the Christ cannot be properly
manifested because it is wisdom and truth that makes love and good
tangible, acceptable, and experiential. Thus, only in The Lord Jesus
Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, as Apostle Paul
indicated in Colossians, Chapter 2, verse 9.
Throughout all three volumes of A Course In Miracles this most
important concept of the nature of The Lord Jesus Christ is consistently
mutilated, perverted and destroyed.
Thus, the content of these three volumes cannot come from the true Lord
Jesus Christ.
3. In the conceptualization of the nature of The Lord Jesus Christ in A
Course In Miracles, everything seems to be put in an upside-down
position. On page 85 of the third volume we read, “Jesus is the
manifestation of the Holy Spirit”... “He is the Voice for God and has
therefore taken form. This form is not his reality, which God alone
knows along with Christ, his real Son Who is part of Him.” “The Holy
Spirit is a creation of the one Creator.”
The falsity of these statements is very obvious. It states there that one
Creator created the Holy Spirit and then He created Christ, His real Son.
Jesus is only the manifestation of this created Holy Spirit. Thus, Jesus
is the extension of the created force or, in other words, he is a creation of
a creation and not of the Creator. A very secondary role.
The statement that Jesus is the manifestation of the created Holy Spirit
is contradictory even to the literal sense of the Holy Bible. In the Gospel
According to John, Chapter 20, verse 22, we read:
“He (that is, The Lord Jesus Christ) breathed on them and said to them,
‘Receive the Holy Spirit.”’
Is it not obvious from this text that the Holy Spirit is the manifestation
or the proceeding of The Lord Jesus Christ and not vice versa, as A
Course In Miracles would like us to believe? In Chapter 7, verse 39 of
the same Gospel, in the last sentence of the verse we read: “For the Holy
Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” Jesus’
glorification means making his Human Divine and uniting it to the
essence which is the true Most High, called the Father. Thus, from this
it is very obvious that the function of the Holy Spirit can come about only
from the total unification of The Lord Jesus Christ, that is, of His
Divine human and Human Divine as One God Indivisible.
Because the entire conceptualization of the true nature of The Lord
Jesus Christ is distorted and upside-down, it is obvious that the true
Lord Jesus Christ is not the revelator of A Course In Miracles.
4. There are many indirect and subtle distortions, perversions and
falsifications which appear throughout the three volumes of A Course
In Miracles. A good example of such a sophisticated and dangerous
falsification is the seventh statement recorded on page 128 of the second
volume, where it states: “My will is God’s,” and then, “There is no will but
God’s.” At first glance, nothing seems to be wrong with these statements
and everyone would heartily agree with the statement that “there is no
will but God’s.” But the logic of this matter tells us that if “my will is
God’s” then, there is only my will and therefore there is no other will but
mine alone. Consequently, there is no other God but myself, that is, in
other words, any reader is or can be God. The atrocity and abomination
of this statement is obvious: I am to be considered the only God and there
is no one else but I. Solipsism (I am the only center of the universe and
nothing else exists but I) in this philosophy is very obvious. In this
respect, of course, there is no God at all. I am to worship only myself and
my will is all-in-all.
Again, this is an upside-down position. The principles of the true New
Revelation teaches us that the proper and correct way of saying this, is
not “My will is God’s,” but just the opposite. “God’s will is mine.” And
because there is no will but God’s, I am the extension and process of
God’s will or God. An extension and process is not the same as the
originator and source of that extension and process. Those are entirely
two different states. Thus, I can never be God, and my will can never be
God’s will because I am created and not Absolute. If my will would
become God’s will, the entire Creation would perish because it cannot be
sustained from the condition of relativity.
From this and similar distortions it is obvious that the true Lord Jesus
Christ cannot be the author and revelator of A Course in Miracles.
5. The entire content of A Course In Miracles is amazingly anti-
feminist. There is not one single mention about women, daughters or
femininity in general. It is entirely masculine. If some of you would have
a tendency to believe that this is a figure of speech, and the masculine
categories used here are all-inclusive, you are gravely mistaken. This is
not by coincidence. It has a direct relevance to the issue of why the
entire text separates the word Jesus from Christ and concentrates
only on the concept and meaning of the word Christ. It is not by
coincidence that the word Jesus, throughout the entire three volumes,
is mentioned only a few times, while the word Christ is mentioned
several times on every page. The feminine principles of The Lord Jesus
Christ are either entirely denied or grossly underestimated or
neglected completely, in the same manner and way that the content
and meaning of the word “Jesus” is.
This is a very cunning, sophisticated and purposeful arrangement. Once
again, the attack is against the Absolute Essence of The Lord Jesus
Christ or Jesus — that is, the Absolute Divine Love and Good. The
Absolute of Divine Love and Divine Good constitutes the Absolute
Femininity of The Lord Jesus Christ, and Jesus is the embodiment of the
feminine principles because Her Divine (Jesus) was made Human. On
the other hand, the Absolute Divine Wisdom and Truth of The Lord
Jesus Christ constitutes the Absolute Masculinity of The Lord Jesus
Christ, and Christ is the embodiment of the masculine principles
because His Human (Christ) was made Divine.
The Lord Jesus Christ signifies the Absolute eternal marriage of all
principles of Divine Love and Good to the Divine Wisdom and Truth, and
of Divine Wisdom and Truth to the Divine Love and Good. Or, of Divine
Femininity to Divine Masculinity, and of Divine Masculinity to the
Divine Femininity. This marriage is a unifying principle of the entire
Creation and sustainer of all life.
This true conceptualization of The Lord Jesus Christ is a deadly enemy
to the very being and existence of the negative state because it cannot
endure the act of this eternal marriage for a second.
Therefore, whoever accepts The Lord Jesus Christ in this proper
conceptualization in his/her heart and life as the only God in being and
existence, frees himself/herself from bondage and slavery to the negative
state.
This is the reason why A Course In Miracles carefully and purposefully
avoids any discussion of feminine principles and principles of The Lord
Jesus Christ in one accord. It doesn’t want people to believe in The Lord
Jesus Christ as the only God and in the marriage of all principles of
femininity and masculinity, in unity, oneness, equality and harmony of
their functions.
Because of this one-sided attitude and conceptualization, A Course
In Miracles cannot be a true revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ.
6. In order to further falsify and distort the true nature of The Most
High, Who is The Lord Jesus Christ, A Course In Miracles carefully
and deliberately misinterprets the meaning of the Second Coming of The
Lord Jesus Christ. On page 439 of the second volume, we read, “Christ’s
Second Coming, which is sure as God, is merely the correction of
mistakes, and the return of sanity.” The meaning quoted here of the
Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ (actually, the book talks about
Christ’s Second Coming and not The Lord Jesus Christ’s Second
Coming) is only one small outcome, consequence and result of the true
Second Coming. What A Course In Miracles does here is to
purposefully de-emphasize the real, fundamental, and the most mystical
and mysterious meaning of the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ
and reduces its meaning to its outcomes and consequences. Thus, the
end becomes a means and the means becomes an end. This is a very
prevalent trend within the entire content of A Course In Miracles.
One of the most important conceptualizations or aspects of the Second
Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ is the revelation and subsequent
recognition, acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact that The Lord
Jesus Christ is the only true God, The Most High, Who has many other
names, and that there is no other God and that He/She made his Divine
human and subsequently His/Her Human Divine and thus, that He/She
is the only One Who Absolutely always Is. The recognition,
acknowledgment, and acceptance of these facts about The Lord Jesus
Christ into our lives and hearts opens the door for us to meet The Lord
Jesus Christ personally within ourselves, in our true Inner Minds when
we go inward. As a result of the acceptance of this act, subsequently all
our problems, errors, mistakes, miseries, insanities or whatever we have
in a negative sense are removed and we are liberated and freed from the
negative state. Without the acceptance of this fact, that is, without the
Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ, no such liberation and freedom
is possible.
Thus, it is a total and devastating falsity for A Course In Miracles to
claim that, “It is possible to read these words and benefit from them
without accepting Him (that is, Jesus) into your life.” (Page 84 of the
third volume of A Course In Miracles). This means that you don’t have
or need to accept The Lord Jesus Christ into your life in order to get rid
of the negative state.
In view of the principles of The New Revelation, the opposite is just
true: It is impossible to accomplish anything at all without accepting
The Lord Jesus Christ as the only One God Indivisible into our hearts
and lives. This is the other important meaning of the Second Coming
of The Lord Jesus Christ.
From the above conclusions, it is very obvious that The Lord Jesus Christ
is not the true revelator of A Course In Miracles.
7. The formal arrangement of A Course In Miracles follows very
consistently the upside-down position. It is not by coincidence that
explanations of the most important terms and concepts come at the very
end of the third volume.
The true New Revelation always begins with an explanation of the
fundamental principles and terms of spirituality, The Lord Jesus Christ,
life and people in general. However, in the case of A Course In Miracles
the secondary principles are formulated first which precede the practical
tools of their application, followed by an elaborate practical outline of
how to apply them and, finally, ending with clarification of terms. This
arrangement is a typical methodological tool of the negative state. Why
is it so?
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, any fabricated and
distorted spiritual methodology, takes the original and genuine truths of
The New Revelation and its methodological tools and presents them
first. When people read these truths at first, they accept them readily
without realizing that they are falling into a dangerous trap.
Afterwards, when they apply the methodological tools and have some
positive results (although temporary) they are convinced of the potency,
positiveness and goodness of the new philosophy presented to them. So,
at the end of their reading and practicing, they are already so much
entrapped and entangled in the web of the false revelation, corroborated
by their temporary positive experiences and results, that they take for
granted and at face value, all else that is being presented to them at the
very end, considering it to also be the real truth. Thus, along with the
genuine truth, they also accept all falsities and distortions, considering
them to be true and genuine. After all, if the previous concepts worked
well and sounded trustworthy and truthful, the rest must be the same.
What they don’t realize here is that the falsified and distorted parts, are
the most vital, crucial, and important, for properly succeeding in their
eternal life endeavor and true spiritual progression. This always
concerns the ideas and concepts about God, The Lord Jesus Christ, the
Holy Spirit and all related matters. These ideas are the foundation and
base on which the true spirituality is built and from which the true
changes and elimination of the negative state are possible.
If you destroy the base and this foundation, but leave the rest of the
structure intact, then what do you have? Nothing but a beautiful
building which is built on the sand, and as soon as the first storm hits it,
it collapses and falls apart into total rubble.
This is how the negative state traps people. It allows them to have some
perception and acceptance of truths, but it distorts the very foundation
and base from which those truths arise and on which those truths are
built and developed. In this manner, there is nothing to be afraid of; and
this is very safe for the negative state when they feed people with all
kinds of pseudo-correct ideas and temporary effective practices,
knowing that people don’t get any proper foundation and base for the
real permanent changes and elimination of the negative state to occur in
their lives.
The principle here is: Give people all secondary and tertiary ideas and
practices of the genuine New Revelation, but assault, undermine,
pervert, falsify, misconstrue, misguide and, if possible, destroy or make
it impossible for people to accept the major and primary ideas of the
genuine New Revelation on which everything is built and from which
everything stems.
Thus, you can have some truths contained in these kinds of philosophies
and yet, because the rest of their content distorts and falsifies the most
fundamental, vital and crucial concepts — which are the foundation and
base for the change and elimination of the negative state — you will go
nowhere in your life. Or, if you go somewhere, it will be only on a
temporary basis and the subsequent fall of your structure will be
devastating (if not during this life span on earth, then, hereafter).
It appears that the purpose for writing A Course In Miracles was to
entrap people into ultimate destruction by giving them some access to
the ideas of the true New Revelation while, at the same time, perverting
and destroying the very foundation and base on which those ideas are
built.
Of course, the major purpose of this devastating arrangement is to lead
people away from accepting The Lord Jesus Christ in His/Her New
Nature as the only true Most High, One God Indivisible, the only One
Who Absolutely always Is. Thus, A Course In Miracles is in no way a
revelation of the true Lord Jesus Christ.
8. If all that was said in the above seven points is true, then who is the
true revelator of A Course In Miracles? In view of the above facts, it is
obvious that the true revelator of A Course In Miracles is an Antichrist
who utilizes the principles of the true New Revelation and transmits his
own pseudo-revelation in order to destroy and undermine the most
important principles of The New Revelation as related to the
understanding of the true nature of the true Lord Jesus Christ, and all
related matters. Because this Antichrist plays the role of the real Lord
Jesus Christ, he appears as the savior of people, who speaks in those
beautiful words of seeming love, seeming wisdom, performing external
miracles, signs, etc., in order to entrap people into believing and
accepting him. Once people start to believe and accept him, then he
carefully and cunningly destroys all and any faith in the true Lord Jesus
Christ and completely perverts the proper understanding and
acceptance of the true meaning of who The Most High really is, who The
Lord Jesus Christ really is and who the Holy Spirit really is. By
accomplishing such a cunning and sophisticated distortion, this
Antichrist hopes that he can take over the entire creation and this planet
and establish himself as the only uncontested ruler of all and everything.
This is his major purpose. This is the reason why he transmitted his own
revelation in such a seemingly acceptable and attractive manner and
way, as reflected in A Course In Miracles.
From the foregoing discourse, it is obvious how extremely spiritually
dangerous the acceptance of the philosophy of A Course In Miracles is.
By perverting, falsifying and destroying the proper conceptualization of
the true nature of The Lord Jesus Christ, it virtually nullifies the
meaning and practice of all positive concepts and procedures that these
three volumes might have.
You are hereby advised not to be taken in by this philosophy. Of course,
as always, it is up to you to verify the content of this article from your own
within.
