"Every symptom which the ego has made involves a contradiction in terms."
"How strange indeed becomes this war against yourself!"
The ego does not take one side. The ego takes all sides, and pits them all against each other. It pretends to...
When your idea of TRUTH is aligned with what God's truth is, you will resurrect. When your idea of TRUTH is aligned with the ego's idea of what truth is (death, opposite of life), it induces death.
Whatever your idea of...
"What if you looked within and saw there IS no sin?"
Fact: God is permanent, nothing real can be changed.
Fact: You cannot change God's will.
Fact: You cannot produce effects in God against His will.
Fact: You cannot sin against His will or...
Sometimes what "the secret of salvation" reveals is not pretty. It very simply means you do everything to yourself. On purpose. Deliberately.
That reveals some sometimes shocking and hard to accept truths.
Such as that, if I am not at peace *I*...
"I and my Father are One." "I am as God Created me" "Let me remember I am one with God." "Let me remember God created me."
Last night I had an interesting experience. I was focusing on love and God and...
At the very root of the ego thought system is something extremely simple, which is the foundation of the entire thought system. It's even more fundamental than the idea of sin.
In Heaven, God is the cause of you, and you...
The "one mind" or "one mindedness" is the mind of the soul in total union with all of creation.
The "right mind" or "right mindedness" is the same as miracle mindedness, the Holy Spirit's mind of atonement, a state of true...
One of the simplest but biggest lessons is learning that people are not bodies. And nor are you.
The human body is an illusion which is bring projected by the minds of those who seem to inhabit them. The body is...
If someone were to whisper in your ear, the one key secret thing which allows you to overcome the world, overcome death, be happy forever, and experience eternal life with God, you'd take that to be a pretty important secret,...
There are a number of words Jesus uses in a very different way to how we use them. He literally redefines and teaches us a new meaning of these words. This is because we've taught ourselves incorrectly what something IS,...
I’ve come to realize the Course refers to miracles on three distinct levels.
1. Everything in Heaven is miraculous. All expressions of love, in reality, are miraculous. The soul is miraculous. Creation is miraculous. Everything real has a miraculous nature. You...
There is a huge difference between CREATING, and MAKING. "The world you MADE" is NOT a world that's been CREATED.
Creation is the perfect extension of the whole of God. God creates perfect children who are perfect mirror image reflections of...
It's interesting how Jesus redefines the meaning of words. It means that when you first read something He says, you might "read into" its meaning based on the meaning of words that you already have, and therefore not understand what...
Some related quotes about what the body cannot do and how it limits you. You can become free of the limitations, but ultimately not WITHOUT the body disappearing entirely. God cannot enter a body, nor can you join him there.
"It...
"The body appears to be largely self-motivated and independent, yet it actually responds only to the intentions of the mind. If the mind wants to use it for attack in any form, it becomes prey to sickness, AGE AND DECAY....
If you're seeing bodies, your vision is blinded by sight of form.
Christ's vision LOOKS PAST bodies to the truth and does not see physical forms.

"Now He waits but that one instant more for God to take His final step, and TIME HAS DISAPPEARED,...
If you have a body, you are not in Heaven. Sight of a body is sight of sin - an illusion of sin but really a forgivable mistake, which must be overlooked. You cannot have a body and be free...
I don't know how many people here work with the Holy Spirit, what kind of relationship or communication you have with Him, if any, but I'd really love to find a way to help others to become more connected with...
"The world goes against your nature, because it is out of accord with God's laws. The world perceives orders of difficulty in EVERYTHING. This is because the ego perceives nothing as wholly desirable. "
Ok. First of all you need to...
