Pure ACIM, non-interpreted
Spiritual Ear was founded because there is not enough PURE ACIM material
available.
And, much of the material that is available is too hard to listen to
and absorb.
If it's not some "guru's" pontification and interpretation, it's too
monotone, too easy to fall asleep or mind wander.
The recordings of the A Course In Miracles from Spiritual Ear are intended to
carry the exact meaning of the book in a lively manner. Wherever practical,
the exact words are presented with no more and no less. The
exception is where the material has a string of pronouns (he, it, they,
etc.) in a given paragraph and the meaning of "it" can be easily confused or lost.
Spiritual Ear inserts the appropriate noun such as "Holy Spirit, your brother,
God, etc." based on over 15 years of studying and teaching the material, the opinion
of other senior students, and contacting the Foundation for A Course In Miracles
(Ken Wapnick's organization) where needed for clarification. The listener
does not have the facility to stare at the paragraph and the preceding paragraph
to make this determination, so the narrator inserts the proper noun to keep the
information pointed. Also, in many places where the material has a capitalization,
such as "Mind," it is read as "true Mind" to indicate the reference to divinity.
