My main opinion of it is that it is an expensive advertisement for Ken Wapnick and what ever he is doing these days. I did like that Gary Renard said "God did not create the universe."

I'm not at all concerned about "spirit guides" materializing before oneself. According to the Teachers Manual, any variety of psychic phenomena are possible and / or likely depending on the needs of specific individuals. What ACIM is very clear about is that none of these phenomena make one a "special person." Discernment is appropriate, one should not assume that guides speak "truth," have highest altruistic motivations, or that one is interpreting what is said correctly (i.e. consistently with ACIM). My teachers Jack and Eulalia Luckett, pointed out that there are basicially two schols of ACIM thought 1) those who focus on the mechanics of ego and 2) those who focus on getting over themselves and sharing love, forgiveness and healing. I think it's pretty easy to see where the contoversy comes from. I admire Jon Mundy and Robt. Perry for their moderate stances.

i thought the controversy as to whether or not pursah and arten physically appeared to him was a little overblown...it's just another packaged illusion...and seems like much ado about nothing.

I think it's strange, as far as ACIM is concerned.

What do you all think about Disappearance of the Universe? Just curious to hear perspectives.
