ACIM T-12.V The Sane Curriculum

We choose either a sane curriculum or an insane curriculum. Which have you chosen? Is your life in the flow with love or are you riding the peaks and valleys of the egoic thought system, separation from love? At some point we chose to align our mind with the egoic thought system and believe we are separate. The result of this choice is to separate us from the awareness of who we are and the awareness of the power of love within us. Love thus appears to be limited and we see ourselves as weak and limited, needing to find love for ourselves somewhere out there in the world. Often, it appears that the only way to gain any love or power is to take it from another by attacking them. What we don’t realize in this limited way of thinking is that we are actually attacking ourselves and taking what we are seeking away from ourselves. This is the insane curriculum we have been learning by aligning our thoughts and minds with the belief in separation and the egoic thought system we made.

The truth is that we are love and lack nothing. We are unlimited, complete and whole in our true loving state, One with our Source and all Creation. We are one with all our brothers and sisters in this world and share all that is real equally. That doesn’t mean equal parts, but we share the totality of reality in our Oneness. The Course tells us this:

That is why the recognition of your own invulnerability is so important to the restoration of your sanity. For if you accept your invulnerability, you are recognizing that attack has no effect. Although you have attacked yourself, you will be demonstrating that nothing really happened. Therefore, by attacking you have not done anything. Once you realize this you will no longer see any sense in attack, for it manifestly does not work and cannot protect you. Yet the recognition of your invulnerability has more than negative value. If your attacks on yourself have failed to weaken you, you are still strong. You therefore have no need to “equalize” the situation to establish your strength. T-12.V.2.1-8

This is the sane curriculum. It is the learning that unlearns the insane curriculum and replaces it with sanity and the awareness of what is real.

We need a teacher that can transcend our mistaken allegiance to our egoic thought system, one that is not swayed by any belief in limitation. A teacher that knows the true power of real Love. Spirit is this teacher and Its Love is our strength. We do not embark on this sane curriculum alone, for Spirit is the teacher within us that guides us on this journey of learning the sane curriculum.

You have learning handicaps in a very literal sense. There are areas in your learning skills that are so impaired that you can progress only under constant, clear-cut direction, provided by a Teacher Who can transcend your limited resources. This Teacher becomes your Resource because of yourself you cannot learn. The learning situation in which you placed yourself is impossible, and in this situation you clearly require a special Teacher and a special curriculum. Poor learners are not good choices as teachers, either for themselves or for anyone else. You would hardly turn to them to establish the curriculum by which they can escape from their limitations. If they understood what is beyond them, they would not be handicapped. T-12.V.5.1-7

When we try to teach ourselves alone without Spirit’s guidance, we learn with very limited resources and understanding. Spirit is the Teacher that has held our true essence within us, knowing it cannot be harmed. We have always been and always are and will be who we really are, even though we have denied the awareness of that reality. The power of Love is within us waiting to be rediscovered as we allow Spirit to guide us on the sane curriculum that teaches us to see who we really are and recognize that every one of our brothers and sisters are One with us and our Source. As we release our mind to Spirit’s Teaching, we learn and remember the reality of our Divine wholeness. The sane curriculum, taught by our Teacher, is powerful in Love that has no limits. We already have what we are seeking within us. It is ours and there is no sane reason to attack anyone or anything to get it. Let go of the insane curriculum and allow Spirit to guide you in the sane curriculum that brings you home. Join together in the I Am flow of Divine Love.
