Probably you have heard of the book „A Course in Miracles“ by Helen Schucman und William Thetford. What is your opinion on it?
In their introduction they claim that the doctrine is partially based on Gnosis, as they support the idea that Ego causes suffering and knowledge of the Truth will set us free. Also they talk about finding your Inner Guru. But actually I can’t find in there what I have learnt here about Gnosis. All I seem to find is another concept and affirmations for reprogramming of mind.
The book was recommended to me by one of the lovers of my beloved, in order for me to find out how I can observe and learn unconditional love in a non-monogamous relationship. I find it strange, though, as I know that polyamory or "free love" is not seen acceptable in the Gnostic path. I am not sure whether the book addresses this question at all, but I think it suggests to let all confinements behind us and whatever happens just forgive everything and be fine with it, because everything is from God.
So I wanted to know what your general take on that book would be. Are you aware of its content? Is it something that can help us or does it just built up illusions of a deluded oneness with God?
