You wrapped up the message of The Course beautifully, Aaron, a lovely present. I spent one year reading only it and doing the lessons, which I feel is the most practical part of it. I experienced vertical shifts and my perception of the world/me certainly changed. The text is very obtuse at times and a lot of people, especially in this time of pronoun sensitivity are turned away by the masculine references to divinity. Like all teachings, however, one must go beyond words to experience where the teaching points.

My inquisitiveness that is not satisfied by The Course, because it is not its goal, is to understand the They that it refers to and what the true creation is that is always protected by reality. Creation happens in time and space yet time and space is tantamount to the ego's play of separation.

Cheers
