If you look at the various things ACIM says, it becomes clearer and makes more sense when you don't think of "mind" or "one mind" or "christ mind" as being the highest or deepest level of existence. We need to...
YOU *CAN* CHANGE THE WORLD WITH YOUR MIND

"Forgiveness, salvation, Atonement, true perception, all are one."
For the longest time I was told and believed that forgiveness was all about doing something, applying, being practical, trying to change my mind. But this did not add up with what ACIM...
Your miracle WORKING, DOING, PERFORMING, is supposed to restore the right mindedness of SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS *NOT* IN THEIR RIGHT MIND!!!!!!!
"We said in a previous section that ***the miracle is an expression*** of miracle-Mindedness. Miracle-Mindedness merely means Right-Mindedness in...
"God's teachers choose to look on dreams a while."
"The dream says otherwise, but who would put his faith in dreams once they are recognized for what they are?"
"Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God's teachers."
*****"They watch the dream...
"The world IS perception." "The world you made."
Some people believe that they are just a little mind inside a little body. And based on this premise, they think they peer out onto an outside world, and "perceive it" or interpret...
While you have "false perception", your mind is going to be split. It is not merely separated FROM the truth, it is separated WITHIN itself, divided against itself. The ego is a state of self conflict and contradiction. And that...
The "one mind" or "one mindedness" is the mind of the soul in total union with all of creation.
The "right mind" or "right mindedness" is the same as miracle mindedness, the Holy Spirit's mind of atonement, a state of true...
"The body appears to be largely self-motivated and independent, yet it actually responds only to the intentions of the mind. If the mind wants to use it for attack in any form, it becomes prey to sickness, AGE AND DECAY....
This is a pretty awesome section of the clarification of terms. Some important key points made here:
1. "In this world, because the mind is split, the Sons of God appear to be separate. 2 Nor do their minds seem to...
Here is something that many people will reject as totally bullshit. But if you will consider it carefully you may see that it makes sense.

The below quotes are from sections about true perception and how it works while still in a body.
It speaks of how the body's eyes STILL see what seems to be an "outside world" of differences, forms, bodies, places.
However, the mind...
Some people say heaven is not a place. It’s usually based around the quote "heaven is an awareness of perfect oneness." This is one of those things where you have to look at what other quotes say to build a...
Here’s what I‘ve learned from ACIM and recent experiences.
1. The body does not really exist at all, except as a temporary projected 3D image coming from the mind. It is an illusion. It has no mind, soul, will, power, or...
"The body cannot heal, because it cannot MAKE ITSELF SICK. It NEEDS no healing. Its health or sickness depends ENTIRELY on how the mind perceives it, and the purpose that the mind would use it FOR."
So. The body itself cannot...
This is a central teaching in ACIM. The mind projects the body. The mind is *always* responsible for the body's condition. What the mind uses the body FOR (love, or attack) determines the condition the body will show up in,...
"The mind, being sane, heals the body."
