Q #647 How can I deal with the way the Course alters my perception of others' behavior?.
Q #647: As I have moved through the material in A Course in Miracles, I feel that I have gained insight into others' behavior more and more, and their specialness motives are more and more transparent to me. It makes me depressed sometimes when I see people whom I used to respect and admire coming from a space of specialness; and what I used to regard as their "kindness" and "thoughtfulness" are seen for what they are: manipulation. Can you comment on this? Is this just me letting idols go and becoming disillusioned? ===
Perhaps most poignant in the above query is the shift in perception from one type of judgment to another...both of which are actually the same in different-looking clothes. First, I hid from myself my judgments about their behavior, and now I don't...but I still judge them. Now, instead of hiding it from myself, I simply attribute my judgment interpretational shift to ACIM, again disregarding that "I" am doing the judging here. If one follows the course beyond levels, gradually they will find themselves looking beyond those judgments and even letting them go. It is not that judgments are wrong and must be changed, it is that they are impossible and we fail to see the truth and thus do not understand that these false judgments are impossible.
