"THE CENTRAL LESSON IS ALWAYS THIS; that what you use the body for it will become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it...
"My Self is ruler of the universe
It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire. What does not occur is...
Here are examples of ACIM quotes which specifically speak to God having created many minds. This means, these minds are REAL, are PERMANENT, and are NOT part of the ego dream of separation.
This is part of why "one mind" or...
It is any form of DENIAL, which actually PREVENTS you from being consciously aware of something that has been repressed.
That means that while the block remains, it is not merely a matter of you having to deal with "what you...
Here is an interesting teaching.
In its natural state, the body is a communication medium. The mind is supposed to flow through it and extend BEYOND it outwards. The body itself is not supposed to be part of the message as...
"A sane mind heals the body" - ACIM
The idea that you are CAUSE, the idea that your mind makes your body... it goes even further than this.
The mind does not merely sit on a fence observing that "it is not...
"The guiltless mind cannot suffer. Being sane, the mind HEALS THE BODY (making sickness and death IMPOSSIBLE) because it has been healed. The sane mind cannot conceive of illness because it cannot conceive of attacking anyone or anything."
This quote is...
If mind becomes split, there are now two causes.
The 2nd cause will seem to will against the first.
The conflict and self-attack will manifest as sickness AS the body.
If mind reclaims the fact that it is fighting its own self, and...
"If the mind can heal the body, but the body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be stronger than the body. Every miracle demonstrates this."
Think about this and what it means.
The mind MUST be stronger than the body....
Here Jesus simply says that we are to use the body to demonstrate that the mind is stronger than the body, and that EVERY MIRACLE DEMONSTRATES THIS FACT.
Shifts in perception do not demonstrate this fact. If the body is still...
As humans with egos, we are accustomed to thinking of ourselves as "separate people." This is because of the ego. We have identified "self" with an individual body, and not the bodies of others, and thus perceive that we are...
Some people say the course is about changing your mind, as though changing the body is a separate thing or not what you are supposed to do.
This is the belief that mind and body are separate.

The one thing I have found most helpful lately, is keeping in mind a clear picture of what the "TRUTH" is, and comparing and contrasting everything to it.
When you cannot remember what the truth is like, when you can't remember...
In the ego mind, the mind is split, and so is your will. You have willed against yourself. So now your mind has more than one will in it, seeming to act in contradiction. You are at war with yourself.
So...
"It should especially be noted that God has only one son, yet ALL HIS CREATIONS ARE HIS SONS, every one must be an integral part of the whole Sonship. The Sonship in its oneness transcends the sum of its parts...
In the ego's world, causes are victimizers, and effects are victims
This applies everywhere in the ego's world. Every single "cause" is the idea of victimization. Every single "effect" is the idea of being a victim. What possibly can there even...
When you are whole, you have only one identity. You are identified with Spirit. You are one with Holy Spirit. You are at peace.
When you begin to believe that illusions are actually reality, entering into the separation state, you put...
"Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return."
