There are two publications by Kenneth Wapnick on, "The Therapeutic Power of Kindness." Quantity 1 is on, "Publishing Judgment" and Volume 2 on, "Forgiving Our Limitations." I think, these should be required reading and continuing examine for everyone who's a serious Program student. The next passage claims all of it:
Once you put aside the brilliant metaphysics of A Course in Wonders and their superior psychological insights, the Program could be pared down to at least one easy rule: Be kind. If you're not kind, then not only are you maybe not exercising the Class, there is no way you may even begin to understand it. No matter how brilliant your comprehension of their metaphysics may be, if you are perhaps not being kind toward someone else, you're not performing what this Program is wondering (The Healing Power of Kindness, Vol.1: Releasing Judgment by Kenneth Wapnick, p. 10, underline mine).
That inability to genuinely practice A Program in Miracles' sort principles of forgiveness which they examine, and often actually teach, has probably been probably the most significant declining among its students. This book's sequel, "Few Choose to Listen," discusses how students usually disguise their believed process of specialness under the guise of religious counseling or friendship. The lack of simple kindness is, unfortunately, distinguished to any or all except the Course scholar creating the spiritual pronouncements (The Message Of A Program in Wonders: All Are Named, p. 306).
The non-dualistic indicating of kindness cannot be recognized here within the experience of dualism provided that specialness is consistently selected because the ego hails from an unkind believed against Lord and Heaven. Our unwillingness to acknowledge that in regards to the vanity, and what all that thought process is capable to do, is something which hinders our development with the Course. We must be ready to consider the pride with the Sacred Nature - the true Teacher - and get that darkness to Him for forgiveness. Nothing could be hidden and that's right from the Course.
In his books on kindness, Mr. Wapnick also covers the origin of a person's unkind behavior is the exact same concern (and repressed guilt) that's employed in our personal brain and that is what unites us. We likewise have the same right-mind and the same capacity to select acim book them. Selecting to be sort does not make us various or greater; fairly it means we are ready to rehearse the "sort principles" of the Course so that individuals can learn to know everything it's teaching. It's simply a problem of priority.
He continues to express that in understanding how to be kind towards the others, we are exercising being sort toward ourselves because, "you and your brother are one. They are a part of you. You're maybe not different." This goes straight to one's heart of the ego's thought system when the thought of big difference is the way the confidence began - Lord and His Son were split and various - and undoes it. Actually the smallest trace of specialness is the ego. What he says becomes distinct if you really examine and training the sort forgiveness of the Program!
A serious student of the Program wants to learn what this means. These pupils would rather be a pleased learner with the only true instructor - the Holy Nature - instead of a spiritually specific instructor of the ego in virtually any form. They're pleased to learn from Him just how to be free of the burdens related to denying the Truth:Forgiveness' kindness is hidden initially, because salvation isn't recognized, or truly sought for (S-2.I.1). And here you'll lay out the burden of denying truth. Here is the burden that is horrible, and perhaps not the reality (T-21-VI.7).
