How To Be Truly Helpful in a Seeminingly Hopeless World: Lyn Corona and Bruce Rawles converse

Thursday, 30 December 2021 by Bruce Rawles

Lyn CoronaIn this video, Lyn Corona, a long-time student and teacher of A Course In Miracles, talks with fellow happy learner Bruce Rawles (and Ken Wapnick enthusiast) about her current in-progress writing project – How To Be Truly Helpful in A (Seemingly) Hopeless World (the topic recently emphasized in her ongoing Tuesday morning classes) as well as a wide variety of ACIM-related topics, including consistent true forgiveness as contrasted with forgiveness-to-destroy, and the profound support one can experience as a contributor to an all-inclusive, egalitarian community of those devoted to waking up from the dream of separation.

Here are two of the many quotes (and key ideas) from ACIM we talked about in this conversation:

“Who is the physician? ⁶Only the mind of the patient himself. ⁷The outcome is what he decides that it is. ⁸Special agents seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give form to his own choice. ⁹He chooses them in order to bring tangible form to his desires.” (ACIM, M-5.II.2:5-9)

“⁴Spirit is in a state of grace forever.
⁵Your reality is only spirit.
⁶Therefore you are in a state of grace forever.”
(ACIM, T-1.III.5:4-6)

… and another excerpt from the Preamble to the Constitution of UNESCO that declares that “since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.”

We concluded with this beloved Course prayer that Bill Thetford was given to overcome his fear of public speaking, and we can all use this gem in a more general way to transcend the limits of ego by accepting the help of our Inner Kindness Teacher, which ACIM calls Holy Spirit:

“I am here only to be truly helpful.
³I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
⁴I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
⁵I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
⁶I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.”
(ACIM, T-2.V-A.18:2-6)

(This video was recorded on December 30, 2021.)

We highly recommend the Zoom video classes on A Course In Miracles taught by Lyn Corona and Tim Wise of the School For A Course In Miracles (SFACIM.) Check out the SFACIM YouTube video channel and the SFACIM podcast. To join these classes live, you can request to be added to their zoom list, visit the SFACIM calendar page, and see upcoming classes here, updated daily. Also highly recommended for those wanting to deepen both their understanding and experience of the Course – the SFACIM Immersion I and II series classes, typically offered twice a year.

Editor’s note: I (Bruce Rawles) attend as many of these excellent SFACIM classes as I can as well as participate as a facilitator occasionally.

Here are numerous additional references to the work of Tim Wise, Lyn Corona, and School for A Course In Miracles (SFACIM) on the ACIMblog website.
