"God did not create the body."
"The ego’s fundamental wish is to replace God. In fact, the ego is the physical embodiment of this wish. For it is this wish which seems to surround the mind with a body, keeping it...
A Course in Miracles teaches:
"God did not make the body, because it is destructible, and therefore not of the Kingdom."
"Love did not create the body."
"The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built to separate parts...
"Glory is your inheritance, given your Soul by its Creator, that you might EXTEND it."
"Your inheritance can neither be bought NOR sold. There can BE no disinherited parts of the Sonship, for God is whole, and all his extensions are...
Here are examples of ACIM quotes which specifically speak to God having created many minds. This means, these minds are REAL, are PERMANENT, and are NOT part of the ego dream of separation.
This is part of why "one mind" or...
There may be a few I missed but this is most of the references to SOULS in A Course in Miracles. Souls are God's Children, they are permanent creations of light, and there are MANY of them.
"Revelations induce complete but...
"You will never know that you are co-creator with God, until you learn that your brother is a co-creator with YOU."
What this tells us also is that this DREAM was co-created with brothers, there is NOT just one dreamer.
It also...
The ego produced the idea that when you cause something, it produces an effect, but the effect itself is not CAPABLE of causing something in turn.
This shows up in the relationship between mind and matter or mind and body. The...
The main thing I don't really like about ideas of non-duality and oneness, is that it really ignores the CREATIVE qualities of God.
If there is only God, and there is nowhere to go, and nothing to do, and God is...
In this passage from "creation and communication", Jesus talks about how God created us as individual beings and minds. There are more than *35* references to multiple sons/minds/creations/individuals in this section alone. These mentions are not metaphors or concepts. Heaven...
"What YOU have "given" life is NOT alive, and symbolizes but your wish to be alive APART from life, alive in death, with death perceived as life, and living, death."
"If death is real for anything, there is no life. Death...
It seems to you that there is a separate power, a separate will, or a separate cause, which is "outside of your mind", which you seem to have no control over.
This power or will seems to show up in the...
The Kingdom of God has the interesting property of having to be shared and extended in order to exist. And the Course teaches that in order to truly 'have' something, you must give it away, because giving it proves that...
Something which I've been finding very helpful lately, is to focus on "already" being as God created me.
It's a recognition, that what God created has already been established, has not changed, and therefore all I need to do is acknowledge...
OK.
This is going to have to be pretty long because this is a very difficult subject to explain, so bear with me. Some of you may be willing to accept what I'm going to say, some will not.
Oneness....
There are over 250 references to this in the course explicitly tying God to the creations of many individuals. To refuse to accept this is simply unwillingness and denial. It means that oneness does not equate to "no individuals". It...
Oneness does NOT mean you do not have a self or free will.
ACIM quotes:
God, Who encompasses all being, created beings who have everything individually, but who want to share it to increase their joy. (T-4.VII.5:1)
God created His Sons by extending...
What is real can only be increased by sharing. This is because what is real cannot changed. Nothing can be added to it or taken away because it is already complete.
Therefore in order to 'increase', the only option available to...
God has created you as an infinite, immortal soul, who is perfectly complete and lacking nothing.
There is nothing that you need to add to yourself to improve yourself or to make yourself in any way better than God created.
You are...
THE OMNIPRESENCE OF GOD (and why many sons)
Understand omnipresence and you will understand how God created many sons.
The course appears here to contradict itself, saying there is only one son, and yet that there are many sons, in the same...
In the ego mind, the mind is split, and so is your will. You have willed against yourself. So now your mind has more than one will in it, seeming to act in contradiction. You are at war with yourself.
So...
