Could it be Beneficial to Have a Guru: Teachings from A Course in Miracles

Could it be helpful to really have a guru in your life, especially when you have a dark night of the soul to go through? I’ve read that individuals all need some sort of help to undo all that individuals have learned. That’s where Intercessory prayer is available in or even a Guru with preferably a lineage that shows they’ve done this type of work through the generation of these family. It all has to do with the energy of this individual and the group they travel with in spirit.

I study A Course in Miracles and discover that I have become tremendously in combination with the other spiritual books and work I have been doing. However, I see now that even my guru has some unlearning to do a course in miracles twitter. The Course teaches us never put anyone on a platform and I see now. It has taken me annually and another dark night to see that I’ve put aside me knowing that there is another way to deal with my illness. It had been because of this guru that I postponed pursuing this. I believe the lesson maybe that individuals all have the energy within us and when my guru speaks like any other in life I must discern the data and go within for the last answer. Whenever I push away that urge I find obstacles within my path. So I’m confused, I visit a major change in me with this guru but at the same time I discover the advice can conflict with my most inner beliefs and am forced to listen. I believed I must listen for here is the lesson: Listen to the REAL SOURCE- the main one WITHIN. Please help me with see what else I might be missing.

Thanks for the heartfelt and sincere email. Role models (such as gurus or teachers or guides) are very useful stepping stones because the ego is undone. They can be inspirational and very supportive witnesses to the mind’s want to Wake Up. They can offer very useful and practical advice, teachings, and examples. Yet accepting the Atonement (Correction) is THE sole responsibility and this can be a decision of mind that transcends the thought of personhood. Persons do not become enlightened, for your head that believes itself to become a person is asleep and dreaming of exile from the Oneness of Spirit. While the deceived mind believes in linear time, Awakening will seem to occur in stages. Through the seeming “process” of Awakening, symbols are employed by the Holy Spirit as stepping stones that reflect higher or more expansive states of consciousness. A guru can be a symbol of the potential for Enlightenment, yet the ability of Enlightenment is impersonal, unconditional, and abstract. The last dark night is always the temptation to retain a feeling of individuality, privacy, autonomy, and uniqueness. All perceived darkness reflects the belief in private minds with private thoughts. Mind is one in forgiveness and One in Truth.

It is wonderful that you are seeing that the lesson of discernment always rests with the perceiver. Use your feelings as a barometer in this discernment, for how you are feeling is the main one right use of judgment until it’s apparent that any judgment is entirely impossible. Follow the Joy! Follow the Bliss! As you appear within and make no attempt to protect or defend the ego, you’ll experience the Love the ego was created to hide. Love simply Is, and when the obstacles to the awareness of Love’s Presence have been removed only Love remains.

When you consider the thought of guru consider this:
Gee YoU aRe YoU
Here is the gentle reminder: I am as God created Me.
Here is the Power of Now.
Here is the simplicity of Being.

The fact is simple. The ego was the illusion of confusion and complexity.
