Heaven has always been the same, has not changed, and will always be the same.

Not being fully aware of everything will lead to false conclusions. This is the state of insanity. Meanings will be read into, there will be hallucinations, there will be a twisting or purposes, relationships will be interrupted, and reality will...
A Course in Miracles, the book, unfortunately does not contain everything there could ever be said on every subject.
It's important to recognize this. Since there is so much "truth" in the book, or conveyed through its words, many people come...
"Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return."
