Post Awakening

Post Awakening

John: For years, I have corresponded with an inmate who practically knows the Course in Miracles by heart. Like so many so-called “inspired” (or channeled) texts, its pronouncements are so ambiguous that a person can read into it any conclusion desired. After a “dramatic spiritual shift,” as you describe it, some people do feel a need for guidance concerning adjusting to this change in perspective I haven’t yet heard from anyone who says they’ve had a genuine nondual awakening solely through studying the Course (in fact, to the contrary). If you feel the need for further guidance, I suggest you locate a teacher of nonduality whom you conclude is truly Self-realized and, where possible, communicate directly. Each person’s post-awakening unfolding is unique, although there are common elements. Only the teachers who recognize this will be able to resolve your concerns. There are some who can.
