"Salvation lies in the simple fact that illusions are not fearful because they are not true. They but seem to be fearful to the extent to which you fail to recognize them for what they are; and you will fail...
Yesterday I lay hands on my wife's cramping feet, I commanded the cramps to go, Holy Spirit flowed and the cramps left. There wasn't a whole lot of fanfare. It just happened and it was done.
Miracle.
I noticed afterwards that it...
What is a miracle? Why would anyone want to heal the sick?
Miracles arise from a state of mind which is truly forgiving, which doesn't mean a mind which "needs to forgive" but a mind which recognizes there is nothing to...
"Sickness is a decision. It is not a thing that happens to you, quite unsought, which makes you weak and brings you suffering. It is a choice you make, a plan you lay, when for an instant truth arises in...
If you were witness to a miracle happening, you would probably be simultaneously in awe, perhaps frightened, stunned, and it would also defy a whole bunch of 'laws' that you believe are true.
If it seems that it can't be possible...
There is a huge amount of resistance to the idea that ACIM is teaching us to perform LITERAL miracles. As in, healing the sick, raising the dead, walking on water, etc.
The resistance comes because the ego's thought system is completely...
"The body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life."
"God did not make the body, because it is destructible, and therefore not of the Kingdom."
"The body is the symbol of what you think you are. It...
Science will not EVER be able to come up with a completely unified theory of everything.
As Jesus says in the Course, "A universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary."
It doesn't matter if science...
The side-effects of having a mistaken perception are really quite understandable.
If you choose to attack yourself, and to then deny that you're the one who did that, you will disown it. This disownership is what we call projection. We displace...
Jesus tells us there is no order of difficulty in miracles.
He also tells us that this is because miracles prove that God's laws apply equally everywhere.
This has to mean that absolutely all illusions can be treated in the same way,...
From "Sickness is a defense against the truth", Lesson 136:
"No one can heal unless he understands what purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as well its purpose has no meaning. Being causeless and without a meaningful intent...
"Who but yourself evaluates a threat, decides escape is necessary, and sets up a series of defenses to reduce the threat that has been judged as real? All this cannot be done unconsciously. But afterwards, your plan requires that you...
The only way that A Course in Miracles can really make any sense whatsoever, is if there is a CLEAR distinction between what is real and what is illusion.
Every way in which you are confused about which is which, is...
The Course talks about the development of trust. What is that?
Well, at first you trust the ego and its false truth. You don't trust God, and you don't trust the real truth. You have trust, it's just misplaced.
Trust is the...
When you are sick or someone is sick or has any other problem, you need to be careful about your desire to heal it.
Having perceived something that you think is real, you WILL have a reaction to it. The reaction...
Correct perception entails recognizing that a person is Christ.
That means they are immortal.
As you are listening to someone go on and on about their problems or what happened to them etc, just imagine or perceive that they are *completely* immortal,...
Perhaps one of the greatest miracles of all performed by Jesus was simply that He made his body permanently disappear. He did not die because He was not his body at all. His body didn't lay in the tomb rotting....
Jesus asks of us to completely forget A Course in Miracles, forget the entire world, forget the body, and come to God with empty hands.
In this, Jesus isn't asking us to stay in our body, thinking we are a body,...
If you are not really clear that there is NO TRUTH in the world, because the entire world is an illusion, you will become quite confused.
You'll mistakenly keep searching for answers in forms, situations, explanations, authorities, rational deductions, conclusions, diagnosis,...
Sometimes things go terribly, terribly wrong. And this wrongness compels you to seek and try to find answers as to why it went wrong. And if the thing is really, really wrong, you will not be able to find answers....
