SearchWhat does the Course mean by the term "awareness"?
Question:
Please go into detail about the term "awareness" as it is used in "A Course in Miracles."
Answer:
Awareness as seen in the Course would be conscious awareness of one's beliefs, which implies that there are unconscious beliefs. So you might say that raising all beliefs into awareness shows them for what they are. If they are assumed to be true, it is beyond conscious questioning and you live from those beliefs much like a robot is programmed. That is why it is so important to bring them up, so you can be fully conscious.
Question:
Would the “awareness” that the Course speaks of be the "I AM"?
Answer:
Not the awareness that is described in the Course. The "I AM" is beyond all beliefs. That is why Jesus says this is not a course on teaching the meaning of love. It is a course on removing the obstacles. The "I AM" and Christ are the meaning.
Love,
David
