"29. The miracle restores the Soul to its fullness. By atoning for lack, it establishes perfect protection. The strength of the Soul leaves no room...
I’ve been learning about this and I think I’ve got a handle on it now.
1. Your ego made this world. ie, this physical world is "the world you made." You made it with your dreaming, and your making of it...
There are two sort of perspectives relating to perception that we seem to fall into.
1. There is an objective world with our perception OF it, and what we project ONTO it is to do with how we interpret it.
2. There...
"All your time is spent in dreaming."
Do you ever get the feeling everyone is just making stuff up as they go along? Or do you experience yourself doing this?
From time to time I *think* that I know what I want...
"Miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges it."
"Miracles do not obey the laws of this world."
"The world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all."
"The world is but an effect and not a cause at...
"The world will end in joy, because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world will end in peace, because it is a place of war. When peace has...
This world only exists within the space-time belief. Space time IS a belief, and it is a false belief. All beliefs will end. Earth cannot exist without space or time. Spacetime is what holds it apart from itself and animates...
"There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready to accept it, and each one must go as far as he can let himself be led along the road to truth."

In terms of the truth, these are our only two options: either accept it as it is, or deny it. Denying it is an attempt to reject what the truth is, and to replace it with something else.
Jesus says denial...
"What God DOES know is that His communication channels are not open to Him, so that He cannot impart His joy and know that His Children are wholly joyous. This is an ongoing process, not in time, but in eternity....
Here's some quotes explaining why what ACIM terms as "the real world" IS NOT Heaven - they are two entirely difference "places" or experiences. The real world is firmly rooted in perception, Heaven is beyond perception, beyond Earth, beyond this...
God's omnipresence doesn't mean that He is located at each location in SPACE. Space itself is a lie. It's an illusion of separation. It's easy to believe God is some great big huge thing so vast that he covers the...
"Healing ONLY STRENGTHENS."
"Miracles are ENERGIZING."
"What you share you STRENGTHEN."
"Miracles are healing because they supply a lack."

Ok. Let's take a fresh look at miracles.
Your task is to correct your perception, but this does not take place in isolation. What applies to you, applies to others. The Golden Rule is always in effect.

The ego always thinks in terms of exclusion, because its entire logical system is based on "separation" between things.
e.g. A car is not a house. I am here but not there. That was loud, this is quiet.
The hierarchy of illusions...
Heaven = "Logical AND" e.g.
"I have everything, AND so do you"
"God is made of love, AND so am I"
Ego World = "Logical Exclusive OR"
In ego, no two objects share anything. You can say something like:
(ObjectA but NOT ObjectB) OR (ObjectB...
"World: a natural grand division."
"The world, as defined above, WAS made as a natural grand division, or projecting outward of God. That is why everything which He Created is like Him." (world here refers to heaven not earth)
"This aching world...
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...
Ok. Think about all the ways that people try to understand ACIM. All the opinions. All the "figuring out" what it means. All the discussion, debate, arguments and disagreements. And still it seems no-one quite knows the whole picture.
Well none...
Ok I thought I'd have fun with an overly long title ;-)
There is something that some ACIM students do, which I find quite annoying. I shouldn't. But I do.
Ok so ACIM has "levels" in it. There are contexts. There is...
