There are so many similarities in all the religious or spiritual doctrines and scriptures I am studying lately. So many connecting points. I am reading the Gita again, a beautiful translation with guided explanation from Eknath Easwaran (2007). The whole notion of the changeless Self that too often lays beneath our conscious awareness as we focus on the ever-changing world of form is everywhere...different names, different terminology but the same idea. I see the connection a lot between A Course in Miracles and The Gita on the topic of the need to break free of ego and its illusions.
The Gita (2: 71)
They are forever free who break away from the ego-cage of I, me and mine to be united with the Lord.
ACIM (opening introduction)
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
