Operationally, I am an absolutist
I know what I am; however, it's easier, by definition, to describe what I am not via reverse absolute-ism. I am not a spiritual teacher. I am not religious. I am not a healer. I am not interested in helping humanity to change its ways, because I see the world as being perfect, just as it is. It's a learning ground for all the different levels of consciousness as we head back home. We've chosen this world to teach us the way back home, perhaps, by identifying with all that is not love, in order to genuinely, by choice, seek love out and place it first. In that sense, many of us need to 'hit bottom', or to move far away from love, as a way to see that the only way left to go is 'up'; we need to really want God's help for the asking to be effective. In this realm, it would seem that preventing this bottoming out from occurring by forcibly 'saving' someone from their own path to asking God for help is but delaying release, and ultimately, prolonging suffering.
Operationally, in the flesh, I am an absolutist; using the absolute truth of "God as Love" as my reference point. Love is of the nonlinear realm, it is not possible to quantify or qualify it by the intellect, it cannot be reproduced, induced, resurrected or recreated; it is what it is of it's own accord, and it creates by extension of that which it already is and always will be, all on its own.

On not identifying as being a spiritual teacher
I know God's Love. I have experienced the Presence of God. Can I teach others how to experience the Presence of God? No, it is not possible- that would be akin to trying to sell freedom to a prisoner serving a life sentence in prison. We have all subjected ourselves willingly to this prison on earth, and it's not possible for any one individual or group, only for the nonlinear Itself to save us from this experience. I can, though, share my experience of God's love to the best of my ability. As well, I can describe what is not arising from the Presence of God, but is instead suppression of this natural born energy we all have. Perhaps in that sense, I can teach people what to avoid, but I can never accurately tell people what to do to achieve their own personal peace. That would be akin to telling someone how to learn.
On not identifying with religion
My experience with God has nothing to do with religion or religious texts. I've been in Hell, and I've experienced the Presence of God. Once the Presence of God has been experienced only one time, it's no longer possible to stay in Hell for long, if at all, because the choice to surrender everything unto God is there, solidified in awareness. Jesus Christ did not write the Bible; he taught the Way by example. He did not use force against his persecutors but asked for their forgiveness, so they too could experience God's love. It is in this way that he has already saved humanity from sin, and there's no need for another to do so again. He taught the Way Home by loving his attackers, by seeking their forgiveness on their behalf, even as he was being attacked. When we can all do this, and wish only love for our enemies, then we are Home. He taught God's Love. He stood, and still stands, for God being Love and nothing else. The Old Testament anthropomorphizes God, when God is a field of energy and not a human-like being with characteristics of the human ego. The human ego was created to reign sovereign in God's place and has evolved solely to discredit the truth of God, that is, to deny the power of love to create effortlessly by extension. The ego will say to use force in love's place, or else one is at risk of not winning. God can be reached only via power, as Christ said, "The way to the Father is through me"; power has the capacity to dissolve ego's misconceptions about force being necessary in any situation. Power improves and expands effortlessly, force makes counter force, and thus karma. i realized the Presence of God through the practice of meditation, and no particular type of meditation, I learned simply to release and rise above ego, to know the unadulterated experience of pure love. Thought holds no power over God's Love, not the thoughts that I attach too, nor the written word. There is only one word of God that is close to being accurate, and that is Love.
On not identifying as a healer
If I were to have the power to heal you, I would have to call myself something more than you. Yet I am, in essence, exactly what you are- and that is love. If I were to say you are sick, and in need of what I have to offer, I am innately putting myself above you and positioning myself to fall, by saying I am well, and you are not well. If I say I have the key to your well-being, happiness, or health, I am lying- because no ego can have and give what only God/Love can do by extension. God's Love heals, and it heals as a rising up of energy that clears the blocks the ego's forced in place to maintain its sovereignty over the innate capacity to Self-heal. We are all here because we chose to make something with life, vs allow it to create of it's own accord by extension. Using the bodies, we house this secret, in a false attempt to keep it from God. It is in this way that we change God's love into a fear of God, and make a field of love into a "Him"- that will punish and destroy. This is completely false ideology- all discourse and destruction on earth is sourced by us and our attempts to make things out of life, vs allow creation to create of its own accord. in the light of God, there is absolute satiation, absolute love. There is no form to manipulate in order to engender a greater sense of peace or well-being. There is no 'thing' there to heal; by virtue of being what it is (Love), the healing has already taken place. God's Love only can heal- I, of myself, cannot. To experience God's Love, one need only to ask God directly, in whatever manner that makes sense.
The Fifty Miracle Principles of 'A Course in Miracles'

In this book, Kenneth Wapnick, a psychologist who worked with Helen Shucman, the transcriber of A Course in Miracles, summarizes A Course in Miracles by it's 50 key principles. I've read this book, as well as done the workbook and read the text for the ACIM. I recommend this book as a good place to start if one is interested in doing the course or gaining an overview of what it's about.

- Your perception is all there is, has been my philosophy. I don't think I should expect that any being put anything into my life as my will is free. See you around the galaxy...

- I once had a long exchange with a client after I said I am not an '-ist' of any sort. Eventually, I was persuaded that I might be a hybrid between a pragmatist and a realist!
