Yes we can! Agreement happens when we find common ground on SOMETHING!
The gift is in finding what that SOMETHING is that we can agree upon!
When we are in agreement there is peace. Where is peace when we disagree?
Eventually when we master the Course In Miracles we will have PEACE even when “disagreement” is seemingly before us.
The Course says “See love or the call for love.”
As we learn to master the Course, little by little the judgments are fewer.
They gradually become challenges to find shared values rather than separation.
I wanted to share the link below of Professor George Lakoff of the University
of California Berkley. He explains why we disagree and has an example of how
we can learn to find common ground and become more agreeable!
It is 27 minutes interview with Tavis Smiley of PBS (if you cannot open it just google
Tavis Smiley)
Professor of Cognitive Science, George Lakoff, UC Berkeley:
“Teach only love, for that is what you are.” A Course In Miracles Text Chapter 6. Section I, 13.
