March

by Dr. Kenneth Wapnick

The focus of the two audio programs being featured this month is on recognizing the self-centeredness of all our interactions with others when we are being guided by our ego—it can be no other way. It is critical for our healing to acknowledge how dominant this way of perceiving and relating is in our lives. However, we also want to move beyond this recognition, and Kenneth proposes a different way of perceiving, based on Course principles, that opens us up to a transformation of all our relationships, so that we may experience peace rather than conflict, love rather than hatred and fear.

Making It about Them

"Cast No One Out":
Making It about Them

Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.

When we are identified with the ego, our focus is exclusively on ourselves and our own needs. Any concern we may show towards others is always in terms of what it can mean for us personally. Many times, this concern for ourselves may be so subtle that we are not aware of how this way of perceiving others pervades all our relationships, including those we believe are based on love, which are in fact special love bargains. In this set, which brings together several different programs sharing a common theme, Kenneth asks us to consider what our relationships could be like if we shift our focus from ourselves to the other person and their needs. We would do this, not in a spirit of self-sacrifice and denial, but with a growing recognition that with this shift in focus, we can begin to learn how we really are all the same in our need for an answer to the guilt and pain that we have made real in our minds. In this way we shift from a focus on ourselves to a focus on the other, and finally to a focus on us both, as we see we share a common need to awaken from this nightmare of pain and death.

The Ark of Peace

The Ark of Peace

Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.

Conflict in our relationships is inescapable when we perceive ourselves in competition with others for our happiness, that is, when we believe that others, and not our own choices, are responsible for our pain and misery. This is a deliberate ego strategy to see guilt outside ourselves. In this brief program, Kenneth helps us see that only by including others on our journey, and not seeking to travel on our own through projection of blame, can we experience the peace and love we genuinely want. The key to this shift is a recognition of our shared interest with all of our brothers and sisters, a shared interest that may not be reflected on the level of behavior but must be reflected on the level of thought.
