"The central lesson is always this; that what you use the body for it will become to you. Use if for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it...
I love learning about miracles.
There are kind of two levels or layers of mind. The higher level is filled with love. It is a mind at-one with others and filled with God’s Will. It has no ego, has let go...
Attempting to take your self closer to the truth in any way, will be met with ego resistance.
The ego itself is nothing, just a "way of looking" which is the opposite to seeing the truth. It distorts everything and makes...
If you sin or do something wrong, there is no way you're going to be completely free of it UNTIL you are willing to recognize the atonement principle.
You could've done something many years ago or even when you were a...
You can't sin. What is sin but the ability to actually achieve separation from God in some way? Whichever way that separation manifests, whether it is a thought of murder or attack or withdrawal or hate or a split mind...
Continuing with the "it's bullshit" theme, let's look at how guilt is also bullshit.
Guilt is not atonement. It is not compensation. It does not make up for doing something wrong. It does not help the person who you hurt. It...
Perception of form is blindness.
What seems to save you destroys you.
Salvation has been equated with death and attack.
Love has been replaced with fake love.
What seems special is meaningless.
The body, a device for sensing, is aware of nothing.
The mind is idle,...
Being afraid and perceiving that someone or something separate from you is attacking you, can ONLY happen if YOU are being an attacker.
Fear is self attack.
You position yourself as the one who is being attacked, as if to suggest, you...
Denial is an attempt to get rid of something, make it go away, place it anywhere other than here, push it outside of conscious awareness, and to disassociate from it. It’s an attempt to pretend it does not exist. This...
I was thinking about why we seem to have a body at all.
It occurred to me that all ego illusions are put in place as a form of level confusion. When the dream (effect) seems to have a causal ability,...
Murder, death and suicide are not particularly pleasant topics. But they are an important part of the teachings of ACIM.
The ego's thought system of separation claims that you can do something to another without experiencing any effects. This is due...
Your mind is always obeying the laws which Oneness established for all minds, regardless of whether you are in the ego or not. These laws are permanent and unavoidable.
These laws are fully obvious and correctly obeyed when you have True...
A major way the ego tempts us to seek outside of ourselves and to not find what we are seeking, is to suggest that the truth really is out there somewhere. The belief that you can actually find it outside...
Whatever the extent of your conscious awareness is right now, if it is not technically an awareness of God or the whole of your True Self, then somewhere in you there is unconsciousness.
In spite of that fact, you will still...
The belief in separation, which you are working to undo through forgiveness, does not just heal your own mind.
What is it that you have been separated from? It is yourself, it is God, and it is your brother.
When you undo...
Gradually over time as you recognize more clearly who is responsible for doing what to whom, and that all attack is self-attack, you will start noticing that other people's attacks are not really attacks.
Their attack, is not really something which...
Denial can be used two ways.
1) Deny God's truth and replace it with lies.
2) Deny lies and replace it with God's truth.
One defends the ego and makes God unreal. The other defends God and makes the ego unreal.
Denial of God...
Let's take a look at these statements about overcoming death.
1) "When you learn to make ME manifest, you will never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless IN yourself, and you will see only the eternal, as...
The world out there, or in which your body-self is located, is a dream. It does not exist. You are dreaming it. It is no different to dreams at night. It is entire symbolic and filled with symbols. To awaken...
Communication means sharing. Not sharing where one person hands over something to someone else, who now possesses that thing, but the first person doesn't. It means, you both have access to the same state at the same time concurrently. In...
