Self-Interest vs. Shared Interest [STAFFCLS]

Dr. Jeffrey Seibert and Dr. Rosemarie LoSasso

The survival of the thought system of separation in our minds depends on our valuing our own interests above all else and valuing shared interests only when they appear to support our own interests, which in the end negates the “shared” aspect. When we dismiss the ego as our teacher and choose the Holy Spirit instead, we are gently shown the painful costs of following the path of separate interests, and, in contrast, the unending flow of peace that comes to us along the path of interests shared with everyone, reflecting our shared Identity as God’s Son. The path of shared interests thus becomes the path to our Home in the perfect Oneness of Love, which we never truly left. The teaching and discussion in these classes center on this foundational teaching of A Course in Miracles.
