Teacher of Awareness & ?

I have learned so much from ACIM, Eckhart (I do think it is rather disingeneuos that he does not give credit to the ACIM as a big part of his roots), Williamson, and Dyer both of whom give alot of credit to ACIM Especially, they really quote the Course on how "bad the ego is." I could quote several times where Eckhart talks about the need for "losing the ego", and even in his last paragraph - summary of The New Earth. One point I am trying to make is that an ego is a necessity, and we need it to be balanced - not too strong or too weak, and like Eckhart says we do need to be conscious of it to know.
whether it is balanced or not?
The main point is that we should not be fundamentalists! There are many people who think every word of these writings are sacrosant, and when it comes to their ego, they create an dichotomy within themselves which hurts them in the world.
And I have learned so much from this mostly magnificent writings. I have learned that "this too shall pass" (& the Buddhists), and have followed Tolle's advice to create a piece of jewelry with the words on it - mine is a cedar heart necklace. I have learned about the magic of "being here now" as much as possible, along with the quote from the Course that the "closest we can get to eternity, is by being in the moment." And how amazingly wonderful this case is
"There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude.
There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost.
There is a sense of holiness in you that the thought of sin has never touched.
All this today you will remember." A Course in Miracles
The Essence is what is important - we are all One in Love Now, ron
"Just tear out those pages(of duality)",,,Bill Thetford told us.
Alexander I agree with Eckhart and Jesus on this one - "Love your enemies." Martin Luther King wrote the best about this in Courage to Love
