Hey Kristy,
I know how you feel to some degree, and can resonate with your confusion. If I may suggest, there are many religions, many beliefs, and very likely as many paths back to the creator as there are humans. In the face of such an overwhelmingly large array of different choices, one way that I and many others have found their unique path is to simply follow that which makes the most sense to you. Or in L/L terminology, use what information resonates within you and do not become overly concerned with that which does not. This sounds overly simple, but I think it is the wisest approach to spirituality.
The fact that you have such a hard time accepting ACIM is more than enough of a hint, in my opinion, that it is not for you. Certainly by example of your ACIM enthusiast friend, it is for others. This is not a problem in the larger scheme of things. Also, I see no conflict in accepting some information from someone you admire and not accepting other information, such as that that David Wilcox offers. I for example, resonate highly with the research scientist Dean Radin and his conclusive proof of PSI functioning (telepathy, etc.) but do no resonate with his possible explanations (that we don't fully understand the brain instead that our souls are the cause).
What is "true" and "not true" are intentionally obscured from us here on earth. This is so we can do our spiritual work without a cheat sheet. It seems like you are doing just fine with your work.
Aaron and Ayadew, it seems like all of us were writing our responses at about the same time and each gave different flavors of the same response. I find this funny and comforting at the same time. Kudos to you all!
