THE CONTAGION OF HATE AND ITS CHRISTMAS CURE
Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.
It has been one of the tragic ironies of religious and spiritual
movements that time and time again their proponents
teachers, masters, followers, and disciplesend up exemplifying the very opposite of the inspired teaching itself. Gentle
messages of forgiveness and love very quickly metamorphose
into gospels of hate and judgment, condemnation and attack.
It is the purpose of the current article to discuss this phenomenon, explain how it arises, how it expands to what we can
refer to as a contagion of hatefor groups as well as individualsand finally, how it can be undone by the Christmas
Cure of forgiveness.
The Religions of Hate
We begin by discussing a fundamental theorem of the
egos thought system, which belies its claim for the legitimacy of special love: You cannot love those whom you see as
different. And so you must hate them. This is a direct consequence of the egos fourth law of chaos: You have what you
have taken (T-23.II.9:3). According to the egos law of scarcity, if I have something, I must have taken it from someone
else, for I myself lack everything that is truly important. This
establishes an adversarial situation in which, because of projection, we will believe that others are withholding from us
what we secretly believe is rightfully ours and originally
belonged to us. We are therefore justified, in our delusional
minds, in attacking them in self-defense (literally, because
we are attempting to defend and protect our special self) and
seize the special something (i.e., innocence and love) that
was taken from us. Again, the fourth (and fifth) law of chaos
graphically depicts this insane dynamic (T-23.II.9-13).
One cannot then practice the love that is otherwise
preached and taught, for the relationship between form and
content, behavior and thinking, has not been understood;
what in the context of sickness Jesus refers to as level confusion (T-2.IV.2). Form, in A Course in Miracles, is always
associated with the body, the embodiment (pardon the pun),
of the egos thought of separation (the content). To state it
another way, the content of the wrong mind is the egos
belief in separate interests (one or the other) that is projected

out to the body, which by its very physical nature separates


and excludes us from each other, the meaning of its special
relationships. For example, our existence begins and ends
with our physical (and psychological) space, which distinguishes us from everyone else. How, then, could we not
experience ourselves as separated, fragmented, and different? As this reflects the ontological separation and differentiation, we cannot help but feel guilty and fearful all the time,
displacing the bottom-line fear of Gods wrath onto anyone
and everything in our lives. Thus Jesus words, not-so-subtly
aimed at the Christian religions:
Whenever any form of special relationship tempts you
to seek for love in ritual, remember love is content, and
not form of any kind. The special relationship is a ritual of
form, aimed at raising the form to take the place of God at
the expense of content. There is no meaning in the form,
and there will never be. The special relationship must be
recognized for what it is; a senseless ritual in which
strength is extracted from the death of God, and invested
in His killer as the sign that form has triumphed over content, and love has lost its meaning (T-16.V.12:1-4).

And what we believe we did to God is what we re-enact with


each of our special relationships:
Each day, and every minute in each day, and every
instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single
instant when the time of terror took the place of love (T-26.
V.13:1).

Thus do the relationships between organisms, from the emergence of what we think of as life, mirror as shadowy fragments the ontological relationship between ourselves and our
Creator when, in our insanity, we believed we took His Love
and power to create and made it our own. Fear of retaliation
for our sin therefore took the place of the Love that created
us, and which unites us within Itself.
Religions, which thrive on differentiation from other
religions or spiritualities, quickly form around separation,
guilt, and hate, for thousands if not millions are attracted to
their false light. This has been especially true of the various
forms of Christianity, which take as their starting point the

The Contagion of Hate and Its Christmas Cure (continued)


logical axiomfirst articulated and elaborated by Freud
that what is repressed is inevitably projected. Guilt will
always find its way from the mind into the world of bodies.
As the Viennese father of psychoanalysis so graphically
wrote of these repressed instincts, what the Course knows as
guilt:

celestially differentiated and very special savior figure of


Jesus. Since the content of Gods Son is oneness, emphasizing
the form of Jesusthe heroically salvific figure of Christian
myth, then and nowmerely shifts the focus to the more
comfortable (to the ego) climate of bodies, differentiation, and
specialness, referred to in A Course in Miracles as bitter
idols (C-5.5:7). Such a shift to form is inevitable when there
is a fear of love (the content). Thus does the ego manage
Jesus love in a special form it can accept without any threat to
its own specialness. Jesus, in fact, cautioned Helen Schucman,
scribe of the Course, against practicing this very dynamic in a
post-Course message when he advised her about using questions (i.e., specific forms) to limit the non-specific content of
his love, which readers of The Lighthouse will recall from a
recent article (March 2008, p. 3):

the perpetual readiness of the inhibited instincts to break


through to satisfaction at any suitable opportunity (Vol.
XIV, p. 284); We must rather attribute to the repressed
a strong upward drive, an impulsion to break though into
consciousness (Vol. XXII, p. 68).1

And, in discussing the projection of these repressed instincts


in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (Vol. XVIII, p. 42), Freud
quotes the Faust of his beloved Goethe, saying that the
instinct Presses ever forward unsubdued (I,iii).
And thus it is that otherwise well-meaning spiritual seekers, unfortunately including students of A Course in Miracles,
unaware of their secret belief that they are the home of evil,
darkness and sin (W-pI.93.1:1), project out this darkness so
it is now seen in someone else, thereby keeping their special
identity safe:

The purpose of words is to limit, and by limiting, to make


a vast area of experience more manageable. But that
means manageable by you (Absence from Felicity, p. 445).

Indeed, this attempt to manage or limit love through


the employment of specific forms, such as stories and rituals,
can be seen in all the worlds religions, inspiring Jesus to say
in the Psychotherapy pamphlet:

What you project you disown, and therefore do not


believe is yours. You are excluding yourself by the very
judgment that you are different from the one on whom
you project. Since you have also judged against what you
project, you continue to attack it because you continue to
keep it separated. By doing this unconsciously, you try to
keep the fact that you attacked yourself out of awareness,
and thus imagine that you have made yourself safe (T-6.
II.2).

Formal religion has no place in psychotherapy, but it


also has no real place in religion [i.e. spirituality]. In this
world, there is an astonishing tendency to join contradictory words into one term without perceiving the contradiction at all. The attempt to formalize religion is so
obviously an ego attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable
that it hardly requires elaboration here (P-2.II.2:1-3).

Thus, attempts to integrate, or see as the same, the Jesus of


the Bible and of A Course in Miracles express the abovementioned astonishing tendency to join contradictory words
into one term without perceiving the contradiction at all.
Jesus himself comments in the Course on this phenomenon
as it revealed itself in the history of Christianity. He says, in
the context of the traditional mis-understanding of the crucifixion:

The self-attack, of course, is the problem, yet our projected


attack on others keeps our original attack protected, which is
the meaning of this statement from the workbook:
The [unforgiving or attack] thought protects projection,
tightening its chains, so that distortions are more veiled
and more obscure; less easily accessible to doubt, and further kept from reason [i.e., right-minded thinking]. What
can come between a fixed projection and the aim that it
has chosen as its wanted goal? (W-pII.1.2:3-4)

It is unwise to accept any concept if you have to invert a


whole frame of reference in order to justify it. This procedure is painful in its minor applications and genuinely
tragic on a wider scale. Persecution frequently results in
an attempt to justify the terrible misperception that God
Himself persecuted His Own Son on behalf of salvation.
The very words are meaningless (T-3.I.2:2-5).

Translating Jesus words on the sign of Christmas, the


egos version would read this way:
The sign of Christmas is attack, darkness masquerading as light. See it not inside yourself, but shining in your
sinful brother outside, and accept it as the sign that the
time of Christ has come.2

Salvations frame of reference is the reflected unity of


Gods innocent and guiltless Son. This is inverted by the ego
to embrace an insane thought system wherein salvation is
equated with sacrifice of an individual personreferred to in
the Course as a little life on earth (C-5.5:3)as the means
of atoning for sin. This serves to reinforce the minds guilt
that, remaining unconscious and thus unnoticed, lies buried
in the part of our split minds that is ruled both by fear of the
truth of Gods Love and the egos belief in sin. It is a psycho-

Thus is Christ (or Jesus) seen as the avenger, and the time of
Christ is when His vengeance is complete. We then want to
be sure that His avenging hand strikes another. In other

(London: Hogarth Press, 1953).
2. The original, of course, reads like this: The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in
darkness. See it not outside yourself, but shining in the Heaven within, and accept it
as the sign the time of Christ has come (T-15.XI.2:1-2).

The Contagion of Hate and Its Christmas Cure (continued)


only done something wrong, but are something wrong, since
the very fact that we experience our separate existence means
that we have indeed separated, thus justifying the selfperception of inveterate sinfulness. This guilt perforce
expresses itself in teaching guilt to others, for, as we have
just seen, projection is inevitable; self-hate needs to find specific expression (W-pI.161.7). And so we make attack, judgment, and condemnation real. Yet since ideas leave not their
source, a primary theme of A Course in Miracles, the guilt
we put outside remains within, there continually to fester and
leading to continual projection and attack, the notorious
guilt-attack cycle that preserves the world as we know it.
Moreover, once we project our self-hatred, we will believe it
is truly outside, due to a Course principleprojection makes
perceptionthat is corollary to the above ideas leave not
their source: what we make real in our minds we project, and
therefore actually believe is outside us to be perceived and
reacted to; yet all the while the projected guilt remains within
the mind, out of awareness and seemingly preserved forever.
This guilt, being unknown to us, means that we can never
gain access to it unless we learn to recognize its dimly-lit
reflection in the world we see, as we read in these two statements from the text:

words, deep down in their guilt-ridden psyches, Christians


believe that Jesus will not really return on clouds of glory, as
the gospels say (Matthew 24:30), but on clouds of judgment:
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the
holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of
his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations:
and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set
the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
And these [the goats] shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous [the sheep] into life eternal
(Matthew 25:31-33,46).

Despite their belief that they are sinless sheep, the secret
and fearful thought of these would-be Christians is that they
are, in fact, guilty goats. This repressed guilt, again, leads
inevitably to attack, the egos insidious guilt-attack cycle.
This cycle directly results in the egos contagion of hate, to
which we now turn. Like an illness that easily and quickly
spreads its poison, so, too, does hate infect others with its virulent venom, even unto death: In contagion do they seek to
kill (T-27.I.4:5).
The Contagion of Hate: One or the Other
Hate is the inevitable and, to the ego, the natural result of
projected guilt. It is the egos way of magically helping us
be rid of the pain of our searing self-hatred: We dont have
the guilt; they do! Since the egos reigning principle is one
or the other, giving others our guilt leaves us guiltless and
therefore innocent, called attention to by our anger and hate
that screeches of anothers sin:

Damnation is your judgment on yourself, and this you


will project upon the world. See it as damned, and all you
see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. If you behold
disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him (T-21.
in.2:1-3).
The certain outcome of the lesson that Gods Son is guilty
is the world you see. It is a world of terror and despair.
Nor is there hope of happiness in it (T-31.I.7:4-6).

Beware of the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly


treated. In this view, you seek to find an innocence that is
not Theirs (Gods and Christs] but yours alone, and at the
cost of someone elses guilt. Can innocence be purchased
by the giving of your guilt to someone else? Whatever
way the game of guilt is played, there must be loss. Someone must lose his innocence that someone else can take it
from him, making it his own. You think your brother is
unfair to you because you think that one must be unfair to
make the other innocent (T-26.X.4:1-3,7-8; 5:1; italics
mine).

In this way does Jesus gently lead us from our projections


back to the mind that is their source. As the Course says of
the Holy Spirit:
[He] takes you gently by the hand, and retraces with you
your mad journey outside yourself, leading you gently back
to the truth and safety within. He brings all your insane
projections and the wild substitutions that you have placed
outside you to the truth. Thus He reverses the course of
insanity and restores you to reason (T-18.I.8:3-5).

Returned to our minds, we can finally look, unveiled, at


the ego strategy of first making guilt real, and then pretending it exists in someone else. Since this is a dynamic in which
we all participate, we also participate in what the Course
terms the secret vows (T-28.VI) we make with each other,
the mutually-infecting contagion of hate that reinforces the
egos thought system of separation and specialness. And so
we all teach and learn from each other:

Indeed, hate is in fact necessary if we are to survive our guilt,


for it proves that another has treated us unfairly, thereby
establishing our innocence. This, then, is the egos secret
wish, the outward picture of a wish; an image that [we]
wanted to be true (T-24.VII.8:10). This image is what later
in the text is called the face of innocence (T-31.V.2:6),
wherein we exist as a special, individual self, but someone
else is held responsible for our misery and suffering, deserving of death as punishment for a sin that is no longer ours.
This dynamic of one or the other has its origin in the
ontological one or the other: God or His Son, oneness or separation. From the belief in our sin (again, the home of evil,
darkness and sin) arises guilt or self-hatredwe have not

To teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought


systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the
other is true all the time. From your demonstration others
learn, and so do you. The question is not whether you will
teach, for in that there is no choice. The purpose of the

The Contagion of Hate and Its Christmas Cure (continued)


out exception, leaving no one behind and outside salvations
kind embrace. A number of years ago in these pages, I
quoted an experience Helen Schucman had in the summer
directly preceding her taking down the Course, while vacationing with her husband Louis in Atlantic City, New Jersey
(long before it became the East Coast mecca for gambling
casinos). Here is Helens recollection, many years afterward:

course might be said to provide you with a means of


choosing what you want to teach on the basis of what you
want to learn (M-in.2:1-5).

When we are able to choose the right mind, our projected


special relationship with the ego (the content), as it is manifest in our special relationships here (in form), is returned to
the mind via the miracle that reverses projection: [The
world you see] is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition (T-21.in.1:5). This
inward condition is the minds power of decision: choosing the egos motto of separate interests or the Holy Spirits
healing principle of shared interests. Once our awareness is
shifted to the mind, we can change its content from one or
the other to together, or not at all (T-19.IV-D.12:8), which is
mirrored in our experience as bodies by the recognition that
we are all the same. Despite the obvious physical and psychological traits that differentiate us from all animate and
inanimate objects in the world, we share the identical split
mind: the egos thought system of guilt and hate, the Holy
Spirits thought system of innocence and forgiveness, and the
decision maker that chooses between them. And so we realize that we are all in the same miserable ego boat, searching
for the way out of the maelstrom of hate in which we find
ourselves, yet always looking in the wrong place: the external
world of special relationships instead of the internal world of
forgiveness.
The choice then is ours. If we wish to learn hate, we
teach it by demonstrating the reality of sin by showing how
we have been hurt by the sinfulness of others. If we wish to
learn forgiveness, however, we teach it by demonstrating that
sin has had no effect upon lovenot one note in Heavens
song was missed (T-26.V.5:4). By contrasting for us the
effects of attack and forgiveness, pain and joy, Jesus teaches
us to choose his Christmas cure: forgiveness over hate, the
answer to the problem, not the problem itself.

Several times that summer I felt something like the subway experience of years before, [an earlier experience
when most unexpectedly Helen felt an indescribable love
for people on the New York City subway]. It generally
took place in a crowd of people, for whom I could feel a
brief but powerful affinity. One took place on a warm
evening when Louis and I were walking along a crowded
resort boardwalk. A sudden sense of deep emotional
closeness to everyone there swept over me, with a clear
and certain recognition that we were all making the same
journey together to a common goal.

However, later that summer, Helen recalled the incident


more specifically in a letter to William Thetford, her partner
in the Courses scribing:
One evening we were walking and Jonathan [Helens
other name for Louis] pointed out a brain-injured boy
(about 12 or so) who was being pushed by his parents in a
carriage. There were other cripples [an Anglicism for the
mentally retarded] there, too. As we walked I suddenlygot a sense of everyone walking happily and very
much together on the same path.well all make it home
eventually. Sometimes I love everybody very much
(Absence from Felicity, pp. 115,140).

Helens beatific experience emphasizes the Holy Spirits


central principle of together, or not at all. We cannot lift the
egos various veils of defense and return home at the expense
of others, for such separation and attack are the foundation of
the egos thought system, as well as its means of preserving
it. This is why the first lesson of the Holy Spirit is To Have,
Give All to All (T-6.V-A). We learn that to remember the allinclusive nature of Gods Love we must be willing to share
its earthly expression of forgiveness with all people, all the
time, and in all situations. While Heavens state of perfect
unity (a Oneness joined as One [T-25.I.7:1]) cannot be
known here, its reflection in the form of shared interests most
certainly can be. That we can learn, and this lesson is the central focus of A Course in Miracles, as we read in the opening
pages of the manual for teachers:

The Christmas Cure: Together, or Not At All


To counteract the ego tactic of guilt and its projection of
hate, Jesus urges us in the Christmas section of the text to
uncover our darknessthe secret sins and hidden hates
(T-31.VIII.9:2)and invite the Holy Spirit to shine His forgiving light on what has long been kept hidden. It is a plea to
recall our projections and see no one as separate from us:
This Christmas give the Holy Spirit everything that
would hurt you. Let yourself be healed completely that
you may join with Him in healing, and let us celebrate our
release together by releasing everyone with us. Leave
nothing behind, for release is total, and when you have
accepted it with me you will give it with me (T-15.XI.3:
1-3; italics mine).

A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one.


His qualifications consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate choice in which he did not
see his interests as apart from someone elses (M-1.1:1).

Helens first poem, The Gifts of Christmas, frequently


quoted in this newsletter, begins with the following relevant
lines that point to this essential truth of our salvation:

The key message here is that we cannot be freed of our


guilt unless we free everyone of the guilt we projected, with-

The Contagion of Hate and Its Christmas Cure (continued)


the holy relationship; the living temple that is Heavens
home on earth:

Christ passes no one by. By this you know


He is Gods Son. You recognize His touch
In universal gentleness. His Love
Extends to everyone. His eyes behold
The Love of God in everything He sees.
(The Gifts of God, p. 95; italics mine)

The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient


hatred has become a present love. And They [God and
Christ] come quickly to the living temple, where a home
for Them has been set up. There is no place in Heaven
holier. And They have come to dwell within the temple
offered Them, to be Their resting place as well as yours.
What hatred has released to love becomes the brightest
light in Heavens radiance. And all the lights in Heaven
brighter grow, in gratitude for what has been restored
(T-26.IX.6).

This is paralleled in these words from the inspiring close of


Lesson 160:
Not one does Christ forget. Not one He fails to give
you to remember, that your home may be complete and
perfect as it was established. He has not forgotten you.
But you will not remember Him until you look on all as
He does. Who denies his brother is denying Him, and thus
refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self is
clearly recognized, his home remembered and salvation
come (W-pI.160.10; italics mine).

And from this temple of light we look back on the journey we have taken, which began with our separation as one
Son and continued through the hellish hate of our special
relationships wherein our happiness and salvation rested on
anothers sacrifice and loss. Having retraced our steps, however, we stand now with Jesus and all our brothers on the
holiest spot on earth, where the contagion of hate has been
cured by the Christmas message of passing no one by. Thus
do we return to Heaven as the one Son that God created one
with Him, as Heaven sings its song of gratitude, to which we
happily add: And [we are] glad and thankful it is so
(W-pI.200.11:9).
Q

Can we, with Jesus standing beside our brothers, ever


seek to exclude a single member of the Sonship, knowing that
to exclude one is to exclude all, including ourselves? What
hold can hate and judgment have on us when Heavens gift of
love and peace are in our hands, to hold and to share? In what
is perhaps the most beautiful of all the sections in the Course,
For They Have Come, Jesus sings to us his encomium to

ENDING OUR RESISTANCE TO LOVE . The term resistance appears infrequently in A Course in Miracles, yet it is
the only concept that can satisfactorily explain the paradox of students sincerely attempting to learn and live its
principles under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, while experiencing the ongoing frustration of not doing just that.
This is the topic explored in this book, which consists of an edited transcription of a talk given to a group of students by Kenneth Wapnick, supplemented with two articles, co-authored with his wife Gloria, that appeared in the
Foundations newsletter, The Lighthouse. The focus is on the many forms of resistance and their basis in the fear
of love. Freuds valuable insights are discussed, along with Jesus role in helping us look without judgment at our

OUR EARLIEST M EMORY. This five-day Academy class focuses on the symphonic nature of our lives, with the
theme of our lifes symphony being enunciated in our earliest memory. This themealmost always one of
victimizationgoes through a quasi-endless series of variations that comprise the fabric of our experience here.
Despite the profound wrong-minded investment in being unfairly treated, we can yet learn the right-minded
response of forgiveness that cancels out this memory, substituting the Holy Spirits present memory that awakens
us from the egos dreams of separation and specialness. Questions and discussion on related topics, such as the
metaphysics of time, punctuate the presentation.

LIFE: A REQUIRED C OURSE. While as individuals we have no power to change our life scripts, we have all
power to change how we look at them: from feeling unfairly treated with grievances justified, to looking through
the Holy Spirits vision and perceiving shared instead of separate interests. Thus, our special function of forgiveness changes our minds, not the situations and relationships in our lives. Since we choose the script, it is required
that we learn from it. The only issue, then, is from which teacher do we choose to learn: the ego, which will keep us
asleep in hell through guilt and attack; or Jesus, whose love will gently undo the egos blocks and awaken us to the
Heaven we never left.

EXCERPTS SERIES
Our latest series of excerpts is from the tape album Our Gratitude to God, a workshop presented by Kenneth in 1989
at our former location in Roscoe, New York. The theme is discussed in the context of our gratitude to God, Jesus, and
the Holy Spirit, and to each other. The many forms of our resistance to being grateful are considered, including our egos
resentment that God is the Creator, not itself. Our expressions of gratitude, therefore, help us undo this original error.
These excerpts can be found at the Foundations Web site at www.facim.org.

The Greek myth of the young man so smitten with himself that he ends up dying rather than destroying his image forms the basis
of these classes, which deal with the egos self-love that is the ultimate source of our mortality. This thought system of selfcenteredness will be contrasted with the message of selflessness that substitutes the shared interests that unite us within the illusion
for the egos philosophy of one or the other, which dictates everything we think, feel, and do in the world. We thus move beyond the
egos myth of separation to Jesus myth of Atonement, the condition for awakening to our Self, the ultimate end of all narcissism.

ALL Academy 3 classes will be taught by Kenneth Wapnick

The Course comes in a curricular framework, highlighting its focus on the sameness of teaching and learning: ideas leave not their
source. Thus what we teach otherspeace or conflictis what we first taught ourselves. Our decision thus rests on which teacher
we choose to learn from, and thus whose message we wish to teach: the egos or Jesus. And what we decide is what we demonstrate.

This important idea characterizes the holy relationship, and is stated twice in A Course in Miracles (T-24.II.1:1; W-pI.195.4:2). It
reflects the total lack of judgment that is our goal as we practice the Courses principles of forgiveness. Ending our perception of
comparisons corrects the exclusivity that is the hallmark of the special relationship, which seeks always to fragment the Sonship that
the Holy Spirits true perception unifies. This central theme of A Course in Miracles will be explored through lecture, discussion,
and readings.

The famous line from Hamlet (Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.) is the basis for this class on the egos purpose
of its thought system of separation and guilt, which results in a separated world of guilt and specialness; the egos twofold wish
being to sustain our separated existence, yet hold others responsible for it and our unhappy condition. Lecture, discussion, and readings will help deepen understanding of the egos method of reinforcing its insane dream of separation, and how the shift to Jesus
forgiveness gently ends it.

A Course in Miracles tells us that the body is a wholly neutral thing (W-pII.299), meaning that once the body was made by the
ego to limit love (T-18.VIII.1:1-4) and the world made to attack God (W-pII.3.2:1), they become neutral, ready to serve either the
egos purpose of maintaining the dream, or the Holy Spirits purpose of awakening us from it. Thus our lives as bodies merely await
our minds decision. Lecture and readings augment discussion of this important topic.
