The Miracle And Also The Mind: Idols
Within this number of articles, we've been discussing specialness and much more particularly spiritual specialness because it is being a prevalent form within the Course community. Like several types of specialness, spiritual specialness is really a defense from the ego (from the opposite). It maintains the separation within the mind because the spiritual reason behind variations. Within this fifth article, we are likely to bring the discussion around to idols because it is meant inside a Course in Miracles (ACIM).
You'll recall in the 4th article on fragmentation, we're searching to notice if we are selecting the ego (Ken Wapnick) since the ego is negligence your brain that believes in division (T-5.V.3). Idols should warrant consideration and learning because they are ego:
Idol may be the indication of the substitution from the ego for the true Self or god an incorrect thought that there might be something apart from, or even more than God, and therefore outside of Him, a belief that is then forecasted to the special relationship: people, things or ideas (Reference-Index for any what is a course in miracles, Kindle location 550).
This is actually the response to every problem which will confront you. Nowadays, you think you're backed up by everything but God. Your belief is positioned within the most trivial and insane symbols pills, money, influence, prestige, being loved, understanding the "right" people, as well as an endless listing of types of nothingness that you simply endow with magical forces. Each one of these situations are your replacements for that Passion for God (Lesson 50).
Here inside the dream, or illusion, the term symbol definition for "idol" is, "An individual or factor that's greatly respected, loved or revered." Within the last article on fragmentation, we discussed how spiritually special Course teachers are cult leaders and also the word symbol definition for any "cult" which most don't consider is, "A misplaced or excessive admiration for the person or factor." Many of these symbols indicate exactly the same factor: Specialness in most its forms are idols designed to switch the Passion for God and keep the separation within the mind.
Throughout this series we have also called spiritual specialness as caring who they share happens or limelight with, i.e., the special relationship and teaching their very own ego form of the reality. Pun intended about this one: Let us finish setting happens with this discussion using the following quote from another author:
Everyone is looking for and express their truth. Their so-known as the fact is really designed to ensure that they're stuck where they're. What J is teaching in the Course would be that the the fact is not different for everybody. It's not relative. He's saying the simple truth is the reality regardless of whether you understand and accept it or otherwise. The simple truth is not susceptible to your interpretation, nor is his Course. He's the Teacher, you are a student. If that is and not the situation, then so why do the program? (The Disappearance from the World, Gary Renard, page 92).
Idols of Specialness
Kenneth Wapnick is renowned for stating that the program isn't for individuals who believe they're "spiritual giants" which spiritual specialness believes. Spiritual giants make use of the first law of chaos: The simple truth is different for everybody (T-23.II.2) that is what Renard's quote is pointing us toward understanding. This can't be stated enough: Spiritually special "giants" educate their ego interpretation from the truth, i.e., a number of types of idols designed to replace God's Love and keep the separation. If this sounds like the center from the problem, then it is most likely smart to actually want to appreciate this so that you can learn when you're selecting an idol, i.e., the ego.
