A
Course in Miracles
Manual
For Teachers
Introduction
The role of teaching
and learning is actually reversed in the thinking of the world.
The reversal is characteristic.
It
seems as if the teacher and the learner are separated, the teacher
giving something to the learner rather than to himself.
Further, the
act of teaching is regarded as a special activity in which one engages
only a relatively small proportion of one's time.
The course, on
the other hand, emphasizes that...
to teach is
to learn, so teacher and learner are the same.
It also emphasizes
that...
teaching is
a constant process; it goes on every moment of the day and continues
into sleeping thoughts as well.
To teach is to
demonstrate.
There are only
two thought systems (of identity), and you demonstrate
that you believe one or the other is true all the time.
From your demonstration,
others learn and so do you.
The question is not whether
you will teach, for in that there is no choice.
The purpose of the course
might be said to provide you with a means of choosing what you
want to teach on the basis of what you want to
learn.
You cannot give to someone
else, and this you learn through teaching. Teaching is but a call
to witnesses to attest to what you believe. It is a method of
conversion.
This is not
done by words alone.
Any situation must be to
you a chance to teach others what you are and what
they are to you. No more than that, but also never less.

What
Am I?
God's
Thought System teaches
you are an eternal holy spiritual being at one with God.
Ego's
Thought System teaches
you are a body vulnerable to loss, fear and death because
you are separate from God. |
You
see the flesh or recognize the Spirit. There is no compromise...If
one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies it
opposite.
Chap 31 Recognizing Spirit
Remember
always that what you believe you will teach. Believe with me, and
we will become equal as teachers. Chap
6 Message of the Crucifixion
The
Resurrection demonstrated that nothing can destroy truth...It is
the final demonstration that all of the other lessons which I taught
are true. Chap 3
Atonement Without Sacrifice
You
are much too tolerant of mind wandering, thus passively condoning
its miscreations.Chap
2 Fear as Lack of Love
Whatever
way the game of guilt is played, there must be loss. Someone must
lose his innocence that someone else can take it from him, making
it his own.
