"Creation is the sum of all God's Thoughts, in number infinite, and everywhere without all limit. Only Love creates, and only like Itself. There was no time when all that It created was not there. Nor will there be...
"God and the Souls He created ARE symbiotically related. They are COMPLETELY dependent on each other."
I'm realizing that dependence on God is what this path is really leading to. As the course says, God is the mind with which...
"18. A miracle is a service. It is the maximal service that one soul can render another. It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself. The doer recognizes his own and his neighbor's inestimable value simultaneously."
This touches on...
THIS IS HUUUUUGELY IMPORTANT!!!!
"To the Holy Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing, by which you give what you value in order to keep it in your OWN minds."
"To have all, give all to all."
"Atonement as a Lesson in...
"And reason now can lead you to the logical conclusion of your union. It must extend, as you extended when you joined."
Some of us like to describe reality as oneness, or perhaps that "its all God", or "non-duality". A state...
Giving and receiving must occur simultaneously.
This means that in order to receive love and healing, you must give love and healing.
Which in turn means, that the only way for you to be healed, is to extend healing to others.
Which therefore...
If you as Christ, God's Son, are "one with God", does that mean you do not exist as an individual being/son? Does it mean there is only God and NO son? No. It also does not mean that your "brother"...
God has one law. It is very simple.
God can only create in his own likeness. He doesn't know anything else. He creates beings - sons or souls - who are all identical to Him, and therefore are identical to each...
In A Course in Miracles, whenever Jesus uses the term "oneness" or "one with" or "are one", he DOES NOT MEAN that they are "one thing" like a count of 1.
The classic idea of "oneness" is this ego concept of...
There are two distinct aspects to creation. One is God's own Self which is complete, the other is God's creation or the exending/projecting outward of God. This extension is referred to as Christ or the Sonship or Kingdom.
Now, we're told...
We can reduce a lot of what the Course teaches seemingly down to simple statements such as "god is". But then when you try to extrapolate that back out to properly describe what we're experiencing, it doesn't work. Information has...
OK.
This is going to have to be pretty long because this is a very difficult subject to explain, so bear with me. Some of you may be willing to accept what I'm going to say, some will not.
Oneness....
"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...
Communication means sharing. Not sharing where one person hands over something to someone else, who now possesses that thing, but the first person doesn't. It means, you both have access to the same state at the same time concurrently. In...

There is only one God.
There is only one way to love.
There is only one metaphysical truth.
There is only one curriculum for awakening.
There is only one mind.
There is only one reality.
There is only one way to be at peace.

The purpose of sickness is to make you and the body seem to be "one".
The ultimate goal of sickness, which is "death", is the attempt to fully unite who you really are with the body, so that when the body...
If you believe in sickness, just in general, you will become sick. But that's not the end of it. You'll believe other people are sick too, even if they aren't. And that means that your belief in sickness attempts to...
Either:
The other person is guilty and therefore I am guilty also...
.....OR ....
The other person is innocent and therefore I am innocent also.
There is no other option.
There is no 'they are guilty and I am innocent'. There is no 'they are...
The course speaks from a perspective of Oneness. That means quite literally that you and all other people are ONE person - one mind, one being. It means you SHARE a mind with everyone else. It should be immediately obvious...
