Public Mass media and Any Course around Wonders

Social media is like anything in this world, i.e., projected thoughts with the content of the ego wrong mind. Online attacks in the community for A Course in Miracles (ACIM) are via the many comments, quotes and other postings wherein we respond to our interpretation which then becomes the justification for our response (T-12.I.1) or our reason for posting, etc. All students have a basic confusion between form and content as well as what it means to join so let's not sugar coat it: Social media is forms (projected content of the ego wrong mind) from joining with the wrong mind. Therefore, from the outset it is a series of attacks until we forgive and start identifying (joining) with the right mind.



Even in the Course, we all sit around online with some sort of an electronic device mindlessly doing our ego thing. Okay, some might be standing, leaning or lounging:



Sitting around and talking about the Course is not the same thing as doing the hard work of studying the text and putting the principles into practice to find out what the Course means (Kenneth Wapnick, Rules for Decision).



In the same Rules, Wapnick also says, "What gives the ego its power is your having joined with it, your identification with it." Forms are projected as a defense against the opposite and are only with the ego wrong mind and thus they do not matter.



Since social media is all about forms which are fragmented projections of the ego, we are then perceiving the Sonship as fragmented which makes the error real. Specialness is valued as an idol placed before the Love of God and those perceived differences maintain the separation in the mind. Absolutely any fragmented attribute we judge in another online (or anywhere) must be seen in all of the Sonship since we're really One in reality. That is why attack isn't discrete and must be relinquished (T-7.VI.1).



Discrete means, "Individually separate and distinct." All attack in any form is the same and is meant to divide the entirety of the Sonship because it attacks (fragments) the Sonship via differences instead of sameness. Hence, we can see why Wapnick would say that it is silly to use the Course as a weapon when it's clearly a Course based in unity.



Finally, let's add two other word symbol definitions since these are both used throughout the Course:



Demonstrate: Clearly show the existence or truth of something by giving proof or evidence.

Reminder: A thing that causes someone to remember something.



Unloving Reminders



In the Course, "To teach is to demonstrate (M-in.2) and we are always teaching, or demonstrating the ego or God every moment, i.e., the content mind with which we have chosen to join or identify. For contrast, the content of the ego is many projected and different forms; and the content of the right mind is unity, sameness, i.e., Love (no projections). There are no exceptions. It's one or the other.



Our brothers are a part of us. They are the ones who teach us who we are for our learning is a result of what we have taught them (T-9.VI.3) - the ego or God - always. As the dreamer of the dream (T-27.VII.), our dream figures (those online with us and our brothers) are doing what we are dreaming they are doing based on what we've taught (demonstrated). Therefore, they are innocent since it is our dream. We taught separation or a murderous attack thought against God and so we all demonstrate said attack in many fragmented forms. Yet if we forgive ourselves for what we have taught (chosen) instead of attacking, we find who we are through our brothers who are the same.



When we are posting quotes, comments or use un curso de milagros language "at" another we are really attacking (unloving reminders). If we think about how "at" feels we know we believe in separation and differences. The commands or demands of the ego must be answered "at" a separated fragment (brother) so we continue to demonstrate our original attack thought and repress our guilt. Course students then go and get online with these many ideas of specialness and their unloving reminders which fragments the mind and maintains the separation (the opposite of unity) which is the problem.
