ACIM Lessons
Demonspotting applies the spiritual, anti-ego principles of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) to daily life using a practical, gamified approach.
While ACIM is a 365-day curriculum focused on changing perception through forgiveness to undo the ego, Demonspotting is a practical, user-driven interpretation that focuses on identifying, blocking, and overcoming “demons” (fear, anger, and separation thoughts) in real-time.
Students, called Demon Spotters, are encouraged to analyze the frame of their emotional upset using code words.
In line with ACIM, forgiveness is the ultimate goal. Once the negative chatter is silenced, students have space to hear directly from Holy Spirit.
Both ACIM and Demonspotting place Holy Spirit at the center. Without Spirit’s help, the student fights the ego alone, and stays stuck in the Split Mind (River of Shame).

A Course in Miracles (ACIM)
-
- Definition: A self-study spiritual curriculum aimed at changing perception from fear to love.
-
- Goal: To undo the ego’s grip on the mind, remove the belief in separation from God, and achieve inner peace through forgiveness.
-
- Approach: Focuses on the “Holy Instant,” where the illusion of the world is recognized, allowing the mind to align with the Holy Spirit. The space where connection with Holy Spirit takes place is called the Unified Mind (ACIM). For Demon Spotters, the place to connect with Holy Spirit is called the River of Grace.
-
- Methodology: 365 daily workbook lessons designed to train your mind to see differently (change your point of view).
Demonspotting
-
- Definition: A practical application of ACIM principles developed by Cheryl “Gwyneth” Ragsdale, an ACIM student, to navigate daily life.
-
- Goal: To identify the patterns of demons (ego-driven thoughts) interfering with relationships, and to move from a state of conflict (Second Heaven) to peace (Third Kingdom of Heaven).
-
- Approach: Active engagement with everyday challenges to “stare down” demons. Consequently, the game uses a “cornerman” or “helper” framework to assist in analyzing daily dilemmas.
-
- Methodology: Uses ACIM lessons as a foundation to actively flush out false thoughts of separation and replace them with a connection to the Holy Spirit. Framing the mental process as a “game” makes it more approachable. Due to struggles with anger and unresolved hurt from the past, people resist Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Key Similarities and Differences
-
- Foundation: Both rely on the core teachings of ACIM, including the study of its 365 lessons.
-
- Action vs. Study: ACIM is a comprehensive spiritual text, whereas Demonspotting is more of a ground-level application of those principles.
-
- Perspective on Demons: Demonspotting personifies ego-based thoughts, fears, and illusions as “demons” to be spotted. ACIM refers to these simply as the ego or illusions.
-
- Focus: Demonspotting emphasizes blocking demon interference. Analyzing the situation clears the mind. With clarity, the student processes through difficult emotions. With practice, forgiveness is quicker and easier. While ACIM focuses on an abstract, passive process towards forgiveness, both emphasize allowing the Holy Spirit to guide students from chaos to forgiveness.
