Only the truth is true. God established the truth. If I want the peace and happiness that God wills for me, I must be willing to let go of what is not true.
I must be willing to accept God’s truth...
In heaven, we’ve had an innocent little idea. We’ve wondered, what it might be like if things weren’t the way they are.

"Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange world you made and all its ways; its shifting patterns and uncertain goals, its painful pleasures and its tragic joys.
God made no contradictions. What denies its own existence and attacks itself is...
True perception is the ability to discern clearly, the *difference* between what is TRUE, and what is FALSE. To discern BOTH of these correctly is a state of RECOGNIZING what something is, and what something is not.
It contains BOTH these...
In A Course in Miracles, the truth is completely consistent. It represents a thought system of Oneness, in which everything correlates perfectly. There is no contradiction in Oneness or in the Truth.
Everything about the thought system of the Holy Spirit,...
A year or so ago, someone close to me was sick. We weren’t sure what really happened. It was very strange. It seemed to come out of nowhere overnight, had no apparent cause, and seemed impossible to diagnose.
The person seemed...
Sometimes it seems as though, to say something like "Heaven and earth are opposites" is actually a statement of separation. This is because whenever we talk in terms of "two" of something we think there is duality at work. That...
Jesus said this:
"The world, in the original connotation of the term, included both the proper creation of man by God and the proper creation by man in his right mind."
Here we’re told that God created "man’ (souls) and gave man...
"It is in this that the teacher of God must trust. This is what is really meant by the statement that the one responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself."
Often overlooked here is not just...
I keep hearing various people say things like "using miracles as spectacles is wrong" and various other statements which make it sound like we should not be performing miracles.
These are all based in fear!
Jesus's statement (from an earlier version) is:...

"To believe in truth you do not have to do anything."
But if you DO believe in...
FED-UP WITH SUFFERING? PUTTING UP WITH WHAT HAS HAPPENED? TOLERATING PAIN? WANT SOME RELIEF?!!

"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...
In the course, we know that Jesus tells us how we project stuff out and then perceive it. Okay, makes sense. But for the most part, it makes sense at the level of you as an individual perceiving "the world...
In this world, which is 100% the effect of dreaming, there is an ILLUSION of cause and effect.
To recognize how it is an illusion, consider how children play "make-believe" with toys.
1) There is an empty scene.
2) The child grabs his...
There is a sequence of cause and effect, in which a higher level causes a lower level.
God causes the Son of God. The Son of God causes his dream of separation. God is cause, the son is effect. The son...
"I could not atone for MYSELF ALONE. Listening to one Voice implies the decision to share It in order to hear It yourself. The Mind that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to EVERY MIND CREATED BY GOD, because...
There is a huge rift in the ACIM community.
It mainly hinges around a single assumption. Some people make this assumption and some do not.
