"The real world still is but a dream." - section 7 of Chapter 29, section 4 of ACIM.
In the Course, sometimes Jesus uses some terms which SEEM to imply something He did not mean to imply. When he referred to...
The tiny mad idea, a thought of separation, produced a "dream".
The dream is comprised of illusions. Thoughts of separation must always be illusory because reality is not separate. A thought of separation is also a thought of death (opposite to...
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...
There is no world.
The entire content of the physical world is happening within the split mind of the ego. It is all happening inside the one mind of the ego, shared collectively by all individuals within it.
Every event that takes...
Here is a very interesting paragraph from ACIM:
"The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. When the...
Separation is the idea that there is an opposite to love.
It has given rise to a world where both love and hate seem to coexist, where there is both joy and sadness, and where there is both Life and death.
The...
When you dream at night, your mind is perfectly capable of creating entire environments in great detail. These dreams are not real, and so are projections of ego thoughts from the mind, but at the time they seem like real...
Here is another way of interpreting this well-known quote:
"Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want...
YOU MADE UP THIS WORLD. IT DOES NOT EXIST. WILL YOU DENY IT?
"You made sickness and death and therefore can abolish both."
"The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self...
In this world, everything which is held to be most true and cherished is actually the most false, fake thing imaginable.
It will be considered highly controversial and even insensitive and deranged to suggest, for example, that every victim wants to...
Beyond the physical world, there are other universes. There is a spiritual universe, a higher universe, the christ universe (which is the "real world"), and Heaven.
If you are primarily located in the physical world, seeing God in it and saying...
Both sides of every war are run by the ego. The war is symptomatic of the ego attacking itself. War is self attack.
When you believe that one side of the war is the good guys and one side is the...
It is a scene in the mind. It is an imagined scene. A dream.
It is inside of a mind. It is made of thought. It presents images but these images are only there because of imagination.
Physical matter is not fixed...
You can't sell God, because God is not tangible. So what's the dam issue with supposedly being guilty for selling spirituality?
You can't really sell spirituality because you can't sell Spirit. You can't hoard and deny spirit to someone and then...
For karma to be possible, you'd have to believe that you are capable of really doing something to someone else.
The only thing that can ever really be shared is love. You are only ever attacking yourself. And you do not...
When I recently started to recognize that the whole world is fundamentally unreal, I started to experience "faith" in God. It seemed to require an UNBELIEF that this world is "true", in order to shift my allegiance and dependence over...
Those course students who believe they are only supposed to correct their own perceptions - perceptions of the physical world, as though the physical world is reality and you simply need to see it without judgement in order to keep...
What do you want more, this world, or God?
What do you want more, to be in a real body, or unlimited in God?
What do you want more, to trust that the real world of suffering and sickness and death is...
When the ego attacks, it does not see you for who you really are.
Its belief in sin and guilt heavily skews its perception. It perceives in you a sinful guilty person, which isn't really in you.
It then addresses that sinful...
There are two worlds before your eyes.
1) An illusory world
2) Your belief that the illusory world is reality.
You are meant to correct your misperception of the ILLUSORY world, by undoing your belief that it is REAL.
That's what it means...
