I'm quite familiar with it as well as off-shoots produced by people like Gary Renard and it contains just as many contradictions, just as many appeals to authority, and just as much of an emphasis on submission as anything else in this category. In fact it comes out of the gate as if it's intent on pounding it into you-"This is a required course." In one chapter you're told to say, "God is nowhere-the material world is a lie" and in another you're supposed to acknowledge God in everything, even objects like a coat hanger. That's not the truth. It's willful insanity induced via cognitive dissonance. It's a destructive philosophy through and through when it's followed to a tee. Oneness is an interesting concept, but the conclusions people draw are heavily reliant on human value judgements and it simply can't account for all the complexities of life without reducing language to near meaninglessness.

All your studying needs to be rewarded with the Truth of all that is. Your critique on All is One will be seen from the opposite perspective if you give ACIM a chance. I consider Kenneth Wapnick to be the best teacher; a quick overview can be found on his website - www.facim.org. I speak from having experienced the highest spiritual state for their is only one universal experience of the Truth.
