Friends of Emerson- Friends of Emerson meets the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month from 4:00-5:00 in the Atrium. Our next selection is The American Scholar, the Phi Beta Kappa Address delivered at Harvard in 1837. Although hailed by Oliver Wendell Holmes as “America’s Intellectual Declaration of Independence,” it went beyond nationalism. It was a call for the consciously examined life, based on the principle that human beings have access to the Divine Mind and that each of our unique individual lives can reflect that mind. No prior reading required, no assignments, no charge. Call or email Lucy Bell for further information 719.576.5371.

- A Course in Miracles - A study group for A Course in Miracles (ACIM) meets in Classroom 2 on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. ACIM is a self study course consisting of three sections: A Text, a Workbook For Students, and a Manual For Teachers. The Course was taken down by a research psychologist, more than three decades ago, who heard an inner voice dictating the material to her. It is clear from the Text that the author is Jesus. The Course deals with universal spiritual themes and makes a fundamental distinction between the real and the unreal, between knowledge and perception. The theme of our illusion of separation from God is explored and explained in terms of ego, fear, guilt, attack and defense. The theme of our remembrance, atonement, and resurrection in God is taught by correction for errors of perception, forgiveness and love for our brothers and sisters. We are aided in our quest for awakening by the Holy Spirit's gift --- Christ's Vision. Contact members Brad Marten and Charles Kiskiras with questions about the study group's approach to learning A Course in Miracles.
