Product Description

The idea for this book originated with a talk given at the end of a week-long class on sickness and healing at our Center. The teaching staff was struck by the paradox of students on the one hand spending a week discussing healing, in terms of forgiveness and undoing separation, and on the other, fervently practicing judgment and condemnation of each other—directly opposite to the kind, gentle tone of Jesus' words in "A Course in Miracles." This talk thus was devoted to the kindness of healing, in hopes of reinforcing Jesus' message of undoing separation. Kindness reflects our inherent oneness with each other, while attack drives us still further apart in our awareness. In reviewing the principles of sickness and healing and some common misapplications, the discussion in this book helps us undo the sources of unkindness, so that in all our interactions we would reflect the Source of kindness. It is hoped that this little book will serve to remind us all of the need to be kind, the spiritual principle par excellence.

"Kindness created me kind."

the healing power of kindness
I have been a faithful student of acim before and after discovering ken's writings and seminars. His materials are extremely helpful on the journey. I would recommend his book/tapes/cd's to any student of acim.

Sad
Concerned that people will see sickness as a spiritual problem and blame the sick person - which takes away compassion and care when most needed. Yes, God answers prayers, but sometimes the answer is Wait, and sometimes it is No, not always yes.

Jesus told the apostles that the blind man's blindness was Not due to the man's nor his parents sin, but for the Glory of God.

It is sad that we can not accept sickness as a way to lead us closer to God. That we want to take the Cross out of our lives, even though Jesus says for us to pick up our crosses and follow Him. Where did Jesus take His Cross, to Calvary - ('Father take this cross from Me, but not mine will by yours be done' - 'my soul is sorrowful even unto death' - 'My God, My God, why have you abandoned Me')

being Near Jesus when we are in great suffering, whether physical, emotional or spiritual - is being close to Jesus in the Garden and at Calvary, as Mary and John were. Not easy, but still a very good place to be if we remember Whom we are near, Jesus.

I recommend Through the Cross to Victory and The Passion of the Cross.

The Healing Power of Kindness; Releasing Judgement
I found this little book to be quite helpful to remind me about when I am indeed judging others. Any time I have an unkind thought, I now remind myself that it is just a judgment and I change my mind and choose to be kind instead. Very helpful and highly recommended to anyone who is looking for the subtle or not so subtle nuances in learning to live in peace.
