Don't Nitpick the Course to Death

The Course isn't meant to be analyzed to death; it's meant to be applied on the level of the mind via the Holy Spirit's thought system of pure non-dualism, the only way back to God. ~ Mike Lemieux

Excerpt from Dude, Where's My Jesus Fish?

You don't need to sit there dissecting and analyzing every sentence in the Course – don’t get so caught up in the trees that you can’t see the forest. If you don't understand what a particular sentence or paragraph is saying, it’s not something to get all frustrated about and/or beat yourself up over – just move on.

Nitpicking the Course is the ego’s way of looking for excuses to not do the necessary forgiveness work that’s required in order to attain the goal of the Course. If you read a sentence in the Course that doesn’t make sense to you, most of the time, it’ll clear itself right up after reading a little bit more. And if doesn’t seem to, then just remember what Pursah says about all the details being put within the context of its larger teachings on forgiveness – that’ll save you much time and grief. And always remember, the first four letters of the word analyze spell anal – and I don’t generally believe in coincidences.
