USEFUL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS OF 'A COURSE IN MIRACLES'
THE MESSAGE OF THE CRUCIFIXION represents a unique multi-media teaching tool designed to 'unpack' one of the key teachings of A COURSE IN MIRACLES.It is bound to be helpful to those who may find the Course teachings a bit daunting; especially in the way they challenge virtually all of the central assumptions underlying Christian orthodoxy.It will also help people to
better understand the Course's thought system, which is both radical and abstract.

As the title of the video film and book combination suggests, the theme of this presentation is the Crucifixion of Jesus.Anyone familiar with popular Christian teaching on this subject (e.g. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins) is bound to become aware of the fact that the Course's interpretation of the Crucifixion is in stark contrast:here,
instead of being commended in transactional terms, the death of Jesus is seen as an "extreme example" of unconditional love that serves to demonstrate that pain, persecution and death have no meaning.

This book + videotape set represents a skilful presentation of Course concepts in dialogue form, which makes them very much easier to assimilate.The result is a both pleasing and lucid.

The author and producer comes to this subject as one who has experienced ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) for much of his life. He claims to have achieved a 95% remission through the application of the Course's principles, which have promoted an inner peace that has mediated a therapeutic adjustment of
both his physical and his mental environment.While this book and video will therefore have a special meaning for those with ME symptoms, it is likely to appeal to otherd as well. ... Read more

Product Description
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an immune mediated disease of the brain.It usually occurs following a viral infection but may appear following vaccination, bacterial or parasitic infection, or even appear spontaneously. As it involves autoimmune demyelination, it is similar to multiple sclerosis, and is considered part of the Multiple sclerosis borderlinediseases. The incidence rate is about 8 per 1,000,000 people per year. Although it occurs in all ages, most reported cases are in children and adolescents, with the average age around 5 to 8 years old. The mortality rate may be as high as 5%, full recovery is seen in 50 to 75% of cases, while up to 70 to 90% recover with some minor residual disability.The average time to recover is one to six months.ADEM produces multiple inflammatory lesions in the brain and spinal cord, particularly in the white matter. ...
