“There is no conflict that does not entail the single, simple question, ‘What am I?'” (W-139.1:6).
In the fourth century, an intense debate arose within Christianity over the relationship between Jesus and God: was the Son one with the Father, co-eternal and of the same substance, begotten; or was he made by the Father at a particular moment, out of nothing?
This dispute, known as the Arian Controversy, offers a doorway into the Course’s distinction between the ego-made self-concept and our spiritual Self.
In this episode of ‘Beyond the Ego’, we explore the controversy alongside passages from the Course’s ‘Self-Concept Versus Self’ section, and examine how the distinction between made and begotten can be applied to our practice of A Course in Miracles.
