In this class, we will explore the idea that judgment breeds idols, and letting go of judgment leads to salvation and awakening from the dream. The forgiving dream will be expanded upon, reminding us that our dreams are not being dreamed by someone else. How do you live in safety? We’ll also talk about the forgiving dreams role in that. We will also discuss the idea that the idols we’ve made of the world hold us back from accepting the Atonement, which stands between the past and future, waiting to be chosen. The metaphor of little children needing “toys” will be explained more deeply, as we are those little children the Course talks about that believes our salvation lies in these childish “toys.” These are just substitutions we’ve made to replace God’s love. These ideas are part of the “meat” of the Course, both in understanding what idols are for and why we’ve made them, and also the peace that comes when we finally let go of them. We hope you enjoy the class and find it of great benefit in your continued practice with the Course.
