We invent a need when we first find ourselves lacking something. It is generally the apparent absence of God that we think we lack,...

ALL problems are ONE problem - you believe you are separate from God.
There IS no other problem.
The ego, however, has been extremely clever in making the illusion that there are many many many separate problems. It has tried to fragment...
Many many times in the Course it talks about the importance of *extension* - that if you do not share what you have you cannot have anything. 'Having' to the ego means not sharing. 'Having' to Holy Spirit means sharing....
