It's only when the incessant babble of our everyday thoughts grow still, we find ourselves, or God.


Amen to that statement, Myrddin. wink

I can only say.. for me.. it made sense. Not the usual easy to digest, quick read, superficial sense... but deep truth sense. I loaned my book out several months ago or I could easily pinpoint a few concepts.. but that would be too easy and not what you asked....

...ACIM is not an easy read....It's dense.. but there is deep truth.. as least for me... but I also ascribe to the motto, "when the student is ready, the teacher will come" and if you know that the teacher is God.. well.. God shows up. In remarkable places. "It's not our abilities that shows us what we truly are, it is our choices" – Albus Dumbledor (Chamber of Secrets) ..."


I'm around pg. 400 now but find that I must digest it in small portions (5-10 pages per day, on average), which explains why it's taking me so long to finish it. It is, as you've said, WS, "not an easy read;" but it certainly contains "deep truth."

I think that I, at my current age, at this specific time in my life, am ready for such a tome. If I'd tried reading it 10 years ago, I may have thrown it against the wall. Instead, I'm finding that every statement speaks volumes and makes complete sense to me. (I'm now reading Hua Hu Ching, which I find compliments ACIM quite nicely--as do the Tao Teh Ching, The Bhagavad Gita and the Edgar Cayce readings. All powerful stuff that's synergistic, IMO.)
