Social websites is similar to anything in this world, i.e., projected thoughts with all the content of the ego wrong mind. Online attacks locally for A Course in Miracles (ACIM) are through many comments, quotes and other postings wherein we reply to our interpretation which in turn becomes the justification for the response (T-12.I.1) or our basis for posting, etc. A lot of students have a basic confusion between form and content as well as what it means to join so let's not sugar coat it: Social media marketing is forms (projected content from the ego wrong mind) from joining together with the wrong mind. Therefore, through the outset it is just a series of attacks until we forgive and commence identifying (joining) with the appropriate mind.
Even during the program, we all sit around online with some kind of an electric device mindlessly doing our ego thing. Okay, some may be standing, leaning or lounging:
Lounging around and referring to the program isn't the same task as doing the tough work of checking text and putting the foundations into practice to determine just what the Course means (Kenneth Wapnick, Rules for Decision).
Within the same Rules, Wapnick also says, "What increases the ego its power is the having merged with it, your identification from it." Forms are projected as being a defense up against the opposite and so are simply the ego wrong mind and thus they just don't matter.
Since social networking is all about forms that are fragmented projections with the ego, we have been then perceiving the Sonship as fragmented helping to make larger than fifteen real. Specialness is valued as an idol placed ahead of the Passion for God and the ones perceived differences maintain the separation in the mind. Absolutely any fragmented attribute we judge in another online (or anywhere) have to be affecting all the Sonship since we're really One inch reality. This is why attack isn't discrete and must be relinquished (T-7.VI.1).
Discrete means, "Individually separate and distinct." All attack in all forms is the same and it is designed to divide the whole thing with the Sonship since it attacks (fragments) the Sonship via differences instead of sameness. Hence, we can easily understand why Wapnick would state that it is silly to utilize the program like a weapon when it is clearly training operating out of unity.
Finally, let's add two other word symbol definitions website traffic are generally used through the entire Course:
Demonstrate: Show the existence or truth of something giving proof or evidence. Reminder: Something causes you to definitely remember something.
Unloving Reminders
From the Course, "To teach is to demonstrate (M-in.2) and we're always teaching, or demonstrating the ego or God every moment, i.e., the content mind in which we now have chosen to join or identify. For contrast, the information of the ego is many projected and various forms; and also the content in the right brain is unity, sameness, i.e., Love (no projections). There aren't any exceptions. It's one or other.
Our brothers are a portion of us. Those are the ones who teach us who were for learning is because what we have taught them (T-9.VI.3) - the ego or God - always. Because dreamer with the dream (T-27.VII.), our dream figures (those online here and our brothers) are performing that which you are dreaming they certainly depending on what we've taught (demonstrated). Therefore, they are innocent as it is our dream. We taught separation or perhaps a murderous attack thought against God and thus most of us demonstrate said attack in lots of fragmented forms. Yet when we forgive ourselves for what we've taught (chosen) instead of attacking, we find who we're through our brothers who are exactly the same.
When we're posting quotes, comments or use Course language "at" another we are really attacking (unloving reminders). When we take into consideration how "at" feels we know we feel in separation and differences. The commands or demands with the ego have to be answered "at" a separated fragment (brother) and then we always demonstrate our original attack thought and repress our guilt. Course students then go and have online with these many ideas of specialness and their unloving reminders which fragments mental performance and maintains the separation (the contrary of unity) which is problem.
Through the social media platform to personal pages, online friends and groups, forms are the focus on social media. Forms tend not to matter. If we say they actually do, we're going to automatically demonstrate the ego and be unloving and unkind, i.e., we harm others.
Surely there are times when a stern reminder may be loving and helpful, but often it's not at all. Again, always use being normal as a criterion. Normal folks a good someone that is sick (and any mind that believes it can be separate is sick), especially a buddy or member of the family, are kind. There is no need to become spiritual giant or understand stand the gap between non-duality and duality to find out that if someone is sick plus pain, kindness needs to be offered to see your face. Because i have already been stressing, when you do not look at fear or guilt, they're going to be pushed down in your unconscious, and just as automatically will likely be project out - always. Inevitably, then you wind up judging and attacking other individuals (Kenneth Wapnick, The Healing Energy Kindness: Vol. 1, Kindle location 149, underline and parenthesis addition mine).
I would not have believed they even existed within the so-called A Course in Miracles community. Being previously initiated into this community, I quickly did start to consider it a household that had to practice the Course it claimed to imagine in (Gary Renard, Your Immortal Reality, Kindle Location 466).
To convey this otherwise, social websites is part of the dream about devastation, a murderous thought against God. It's the seeking without (in forms) to avoid looking within the very heart of social websites:
The search implies you're not whole within and fear to take a look upon your devastation, but would rather seek outside yourself for the purpose you might be (T-29.VII.4). Suppose you looked within and saw no sin? This "fearful" question is one the ego never asks (T-23.IV.3).
Loving Reminders
A loving reminder has not even attempt to use forms because it is exemplary kindness of mind which vision is of sameness and unity Body. If absolutely nothing is different, nothing is to address for One is a home with God when it's in life and sees only Christ in brothers. You are likely to demonstrate something quite unique:
(2:1) In their mind [those who are sick] God's teachers come, to represent another option they will had forgotten. Your only function is to be an indication to others they can increase the risk for same choice you probably did - not really through words, but from the love and peace you suggest to them. (2:2-3) The straightforward existence of a teacher of God is a reminder. His thoughts obtain the right to question just what the patient has known as true. The individual - really many of us - has accepted the ego's thought system as true.
To repeat this important caution, more often than not you would never repeat the words, "The same choice I cause you to will make, because the brain are certainly one." Love's presence that is outside of the ego's thought method is what teaches, not through your words, but by the teacher you've selected in mind, the presence in the human body. You're likely to be teaching ACIM and obtain every theological point correct, but if there isn't any love within your heart, about to catch teaching ACIM (Ibid Kindness, Vol.1, Kindle Locations 396-399, underline mine).
An instructor of God is individuals who have accepted his or her function, which would be to teach and learn forgiveness... We teach what we are learning and, once we teach it, we learn it (Just what it Way to Be considered a Teacher Of God, Part 1, FACIM, Kenneth Wapnick).
God's peace is recognized initially by simply another thing: In every way it can be totally unlike all previous experiences. It calls to mind nothing that went before. It brings with it no past associations. It is a new thing entirely (M-20.2).
The ego commands action (like posting comments, quotes and taking advantage of language "at" others). The Holy Spirit does not command. It merely reminds (T-5.II.7). Remember, it's either, i.e., an unloving or loving reminder. - always.
Usually do not Harm
Inside the Appendix of, "The Healing Power Kindness: Vol. 1," Wapnick reprinted, "Do No Problems for Anyone." It is a short essay on implementing the Hippocratic oath to the practice of ACIM, i.e., a simple reminder for those students of A Course in Miracles who are looking for to utilize its principles to surviving in the globe (Kindle location 678). He explores the way you must to experience a close and honest examination of how you having been using others inside our lives to meet our desires and needs, and the way it is harmful because we now have no regard for your welfare of others. Using people for needs is an attack with them which engenders guilt in us (Kindle location 699). A "eureka" moment occurs - I finally realize I have used the written word for attack (Kindle location 709, underlining mine).
Harm could be the result of judgment. It does not take dishonest act that follows a dishonest thought. It's a verdict of guilt upon a brother, and therefore on oneself. It's the end of peace and also the denial of learning (M-4.IV.1)... (becoming an unloving reminder of the attack consideration to others thereby ourselves)... Thus, Jesus is trying to explain to us how our judgments of others are preceded by our judgment of ourselves (M-4.IV.1, and Ibid, Kindle location 729). It states unequivocally - fairly early in his training - that a student of A Course in Miracles must discover harmfulness must be totally undone or although never study the Holy Spirit's lessons (M-4.IV.1:8-11, Ibid, Kindle location 739, parenthesis addition mine)
When we're not being kind (no harming with no attacking) we simply cannot learn nor understand the kind principles of the Course because we aren't putting them into practice. We're justing sitting around talking online using the ego via unloving reminders as attacks all of which are types of the identical murderous thought because we refuse to look within and also perform the forgiveness work.
