Oprah – Again?

Someone asked me about a new series on XM Satellite radio sponsored by Oprah and Friends regarding A Course in Miracles. Since I was not familiar with XM Radio (I get all the radio I need on AM/FM) nor A Course in Miracles (I find all the miracles I need in the Bible), I decided to do a little research.

I found two really interesting things –before I quit looking– and, while I may do some more research, I will not be rushing out to buy an XM radio. While looking at the workbook for A Course in Miracles, I found the following which is to introduce me to some part of this “work” of genius:

The schism is the nonexistent occurrence of objective reality producing an apparent separation of cause and effect.
The Quantum Identification of the Universal mind is dimensionless. All of its points are interconnected in a non-local instantaneous inclusion. So points A, B, C and D are the same point.
The apparent distance between cause and effect establishes a holographic self-identity projected as space-time.

I don’t want to be unkind, but take my word for it — this is the hokiest thing I have seen lately. The “Master Teacher” (some guy who writes or teaches this baloney) wants you to think there is something really worth while in these words — there isn’t. And what follows this foolishness is radically worthless (as far as I read before getting totally bored).

But, the whole experience so far is not without good. I found another statement included in this workbook (at least I think it’s in the workbook, or maybe it’s in the “novel,” or only the mind of the “Master Teacher”): Truth is true and nothing else is true.

You know what? That is the truest statement one can make. What is important to understand is that the entirety of that Truth is revealed in God’s Word. All the rest, and I am including A Course in Miracles, is worthless drivel.

Let me know if I am not being clear.
