Here is a very interesting paragraph from ACIM:
"The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. When the...
One thing I never could make sense of in the Course was when Jesus referred to minds being joined or how it wasn't possible to be sick if minds were joined.
My ego could not understand this. It made no sense...
Sometimes people say you should meditate and watch your thoughts go by. They say you should not believe the thoughts or get engaged with them. It seems helpful up to a point to be able to let them go without...
On the surface, it seems that fighting against something is a noble attempt to bring about change.
But what's really happening is that the ego has split the mind in two, one part is now opposed to the other part, and...
It means there's something you have absolutely no awareness of. You can't see it, taste it, smell it, touch it, hear it or sense it. It's as though it does not exist whatsoever. And since you place a lot of...
On the level of the ego mind, let's call it "level 1", cause and effect are separate. This is entirely based on the notion that the Son of God (who is the effect of God) is separate from cause (from...
You can't believe that other people are guilty or bad or wrong or sinful without believing that it applies to you somehow.
You can't be someone who is separate from the effects of your own attack.
You can't judge someone, believing that...
A belief in separation takes place within your own mind. Your own mind becomes divided. A portion of your will goes into one part and the rest into another. Eventually this forms the conscious self and the unconscious self.
Separation leads...
Here is another way of interpreting this well-known quote:
"Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want...
The mind of Holy Spirit is bi-directional, in that it both gives and receives equally. It isn't just a mind that gives, or just a mind that receives.
In the ego's mind, giving and receiving are separate, creating the illusion that...
Here in ACIM Chapter 2, the section on "Separation and the Atonement", Jesus spells out CLEARLY just how powerful the mind is to produce miracles.
He speaks of the combination of belief and thought with a power so great that it...
"He who would not forgive must judge, to justify his failure to forgive."
A Course in Miracles tells us that as soon as we cease to be forgiving, we enter into an unforgiving state where judgement is automatic. Judgement is attack....
Beyond the physical world, there are other universes. There is a spiritual universe, a higher universe, the christ universe (which is the "real world"), and Heaven.
If you are primarily located in the physical world, seeing God in it and saying...
Your life can seem blissful and happy. It can seem like nothing will go wrong. And then something fucks up big-time. It comes out of nowhere to destroy your life. "Shit happens".
You will be quite shocked when this happens because...
It is not possible for you to suffer unless there is guilt in your own mind. The only way for a mind to have guilt in it, is for that same mind to believe it is guilty, thus identifying itself...
It is a scene in the mind. It is an imagined scene. A dream.
It is inside of a mind. It is made of thought. It presents images but these images are only there because of imagination.
Physical matter is not fixed...
Your whole mind is supposed to be everywhere.
The mind inside your body seems to be your conscious mind. The mind outside your body seems to be your unconscious mind.
While what is within your body seems to be different and separate...
There are two levels on which you basically can operate, and this also relates to how you perform miracles.
The first level - "level 1" - is physical - this physical universe, which includes the physical body. On this level, the...
There are aspects of the Truth that are just so mind-blowing in how they completely fly in the face of conventional truth. It's like, what they claim is so opposite to what we've been raised to believe, that it just...
"A broken body shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves that separation is without effect. What you would prove to him you will believe."
If you are not in the Atonement and have not FULLY FORGIVEN,...
