Hey everyone :)

I was introducted to ACIM about 15 years ago, but I wasn't ready for the message then. I had quite a few incredible things happen over the last couple of months and started meditating again. Then it came that I should find my ACIM book and open it up.

I haven't found a group that meets in person (yet) and have a question about lessons 1, 2, and 3. It seems from reading it that the intent is to release attachment and expectations from everything in the material world. I am curious if it is really that simple or if I am missing something.

Any and all insight is appreciated.
Love and Light,
- Dina

    I recommend doing the daily lessons regardless
    of whether you have a group nearby. Groups are
    of varied quality in terms of their willingness to
    go deep to the heart of the issues. It's better to find
    one or two people who'll just remind you about being
    willing than explaining every detail of the complex
    philosophy...


    In an case, I'm happy to help you with your questions.
    Either here or by private message.

    Consider the lessons a deprogramming tool that will eventually enable you to change your perceptons and preconceptions about yourself and where you fit in the universe, who god is, and your relationship to what ever your definition of god is (may even cause you to change your definition). I noticed that ACIM is really aimed at people stuck in the judeo-christian religions and who also tend to have a very busy mind that needs to intellectualize everything.

    Have fun on your journey.
