A deep message in ACIM is very simply, that God created you as a perfect being, and if you would just BE YOURSELF, the way God intended, there would be no problem. If you would just be clearly in touch...
This false non-duality idea of "you don't have a self" is not part of ACIM itself and is only something that people have projected onto it in attempting to mis-understand it.
You DO have a self, a PERMANENT soul, which God...
God did create me. The truth about me is that I am still in the condition He originally created me, having not really changed at all.
God is everywhere in Heaven/Reality. Having created me as His Son in His Image, I...
Think of yourself not as confined to a small body, but think of yourself as, in your natural state, being expansive and the size of the universe. You are omnipresent, you are everywhere and in all things. You share the...
In Heaven, God's thought system entails profound sharing. Each part of the system contains the whole of the system. It is holographic. This is how God thinks.
"The recognition of the part as whole, and of the whole in every part,...
In the separation from God, all that’s happened is we’ve gone into denial about what is true. We’ve tried to change the truth into somethiing false, and vice versa. We’re just a bit confused about what IS true and what...
The ego is NOT the idea of being an individual self. It is in fact the idea of DENYING your self, attacking your self, destroying yourself, and trying to kill your self.
The ego is the very idea of imprisoning your...
The body was made to separate you out from the whole and make you seem like you are DIFFERENT to "others".
If you believe that this "difference" represents your IDENTITY, you are confining yourself to a physical object.
If you also believe...
AND WHY THERE IS NO ORDER OF DIFFICULTY IN MIRACLES...
In this world, forms of objects and bodies and planets are all made to establish how one thing is DIFFERENT to another.
So when we look at the spectrum of types of...
Here's a ... strange and unexpected post that kind of just channeled out of me..... hmmmm...
Causing without receptivity to love has been associated with "male".
Receptivity without the power to cause has been associated with "female".
The male "egocentric" causality and forcefulness...
To ego, "having a self" seems to be what it's all about. This suggestion that ego is a "self you made" or some kind of a thing.
But this is actually completely backwards.
The ego is actually the idea of the END...
It's very easy to believe that we are here in the dream, as a body, as an ego, trying to get to Heaven, which is far off in the distance, and we seem not to be there yet.
But this is...
Cutting your Self off from God is separation.
Cutting yourself off from God means that now your Self is ISOLATED or disconnected from God.
It does not mean that you have no self or that you do not exist.
Nor does it mean...
There is part of you which is already in heaven with God. It never left.
That means your spirit-self is already awake and one with God.
Jesus says that like you, He has everything that God gave Him. The only difference between...
You as love cannot be attacked by the ego. The ego in others or in the world is utterly incapable of doing ANYTHING to love. Love is completely outside of the entire realm of the ego’s dream. All ego identities...
God's Son is huge. Infinite, unlimited, eternal, omnipresent. He is everywhere at all times and beyond. There is no edge to His being and no limits to His Self.
Think of the Son of God like a huge canvas or giant...
Your sense of who you are depends entirely on the extent of your awareness. Awareness is your IDENTITY.
How much of your mind you are aware OF, determines the boundaries of your sense of Self.
If you have a lot of repression...
Your main problem is one of identity. You've attempted to change your identity from Christ, to take on a new identity as an ego.
Your sense of your "Self" has become associated with, attached to, and confused with, an alternative model...
Independence can seem like a good thing. It seems to in some way be better than dependency on others, or codependency. It seems to represent being responsible for ones own life, and having the freedom to choose anything.
The ego has...
Who am I?
What you are, is immortal spirit. You are capable of experiencing, because you have awareness, and you perceive reality. You share the Will of God.
The ego is an illusion. It is not capable of experiencing, it has no...
