One of the worst and most generalizing interpretations of ACIM's teaching, is that "there is no separation". This has framed any kind of separateness as wrong. It has associated all separation with duality, and has stripped oneness of any possibility...
So long as you remain in a position of causation, you are all-powerful. And that means the truth comes out of you, it is given and shared, and reinforces itself. You see it in everything you project it onto,...
When we talk about miracles I often hear a lot of examples being given of what seemed miraculous to some people. But we need to be clearer about whether something is a miracle or not.
In general language,...
There are many subjects in ACIM which can be difficult to understand. When we try to understand anything, we try to "make sense of it". If it makes sense, we're willing to accept it as true, because we can't...
"Life and death seem to be opposites because you have decided death ends life."
"you made death, and it is but illusion of an end."
"Miracles make time and tide wait for all men. They can heal the sick...
"Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange world you made" .... "earth the other's sorry outcome which is Heaven's opposite in every way".
We made this world, the physical world, complete with stars and galaxies and planets and bodies,...
The body is entirely designed to look upon an illusory world and make it seem real. It is designed to take something unreal and give it seeming reality. To turn fantasy into fact and to experience its own unreality...
In the physical world we often think of quantum physics as the pinnacle of scientific success in describing "reality". The more you dig into it the more subtle it becomes. Quantum flux, string theory, unified theories of gravity, multi-dimensional...
"Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate lives and go their separate ways."
"And if God created bodies, death would indeed be real."
On the one hand, it seems that people...
All our lives we've given the world meaning.
"I've given the world all the meaning that it has for me."
The world in and of ITSELF has NO meaning whatseover.
"The world is meaningless in itself."
"Because it is...
It's very simple. God is the ONLY cause of you. God is the ONLY cause of anyone. Everyone who exists is solely caused by God and NOTHING else. Whatever God wills that we all be, we are that, and even...
The simple change that must occur in order to wake up to reality, is a change in premise. If the premise is that this world (earth etc) is real, then everything that happens in the world is real, and...
The passages below are pretty intense (each is from different parts of the course). They're basically saying that EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS DESTINED TO DIE. And that isn't an easy thing to comprehend yet alone accept. And if...
"The Separation HAS occurred. To deny this is merely to misuse denial. However, to concentrate on error is merely a further misuse of legitimate psychic mechanisms. The true corrective procedure, which has already been described as the proper use of...
Lately I feel like I have found a whole new sense of identity, and that I've discovered God.
I have been dwelling on two workbook lessons, 91 and 92. They talk about how I am not a body, and...
"My Father gives all power unto me."
"all power and glory are yours because the Kingdom is His"
"By teaching the power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He teaches you that ALL POWER IS YOURS."
"All power is given...
"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...
We speak of the separation from God. But the separation is also a separation from the sonship, which means a separation not only from others, but also from the part of you which is shared with them.
Before the...
If you are feeling unworthy or unwanted, know this.
In spacetime, cause and effect seem to occur whereby you cause something temporarily, it produces something temporary, and then the cause is withdrawn. As if it has deposited a creation...
Your whole life, since you found yourself in a body, you've believed that your self is SEPARATE from other people. That you are isolated and alone INSIDE your body, and no-one else is in there with you.
You have...
