If the body is unreal, and assigning reality to the unreality is something only the MIND does, how does the BODY make the world seem real?
"Only the body makes the world seem real."
Since the body is itself...
Read this carefully from ACIM.
"The Separation HAS occurred. To deny this is merely to misuse denial."
These are Jesus's words. They are correct. It does not say that impossible separation from God has been made possible. It does...
When we look at the nature of reality, of heaven's laws, we find that it's kind of a combination of "oneness" and "multiplicity." We're told in ACIM there are many creations of God, plus our own creations, plus the Holy...
A person has a real self, and temporarily an unreal self. The real self is the soul, and the unreal self is the ego. The ego is nothing more than the attempt to DENY the real self. Denying the...
The road to enlightenment really boils down to a matter of recognition. There's more than 100 references to "recognition" in ACIM.
"Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in...
It may be easier to understand the differences in perception, when you consider inanimate objects. Objects which appear to just sit there and do nothing at all.
A good example is a rock. It just sits there. It has...
It is clear from what Jesus says, and metaphysically, that physical matter, space and time are entirely illusions, made to oppose reality. The term physical always refers to literally PHYSICAL objects. Matter, bodies, planets, galaxies, animals, trees, flesh and bones,...
"Do not perceive ANYTHING God did not create, or you ARE denying Him."So you can PERCEIVE something God CREATED, which is in heaven?
"ALL His Thoughts are thus perfectly united within themselves and with each other because they were created neither...
"Reality is a constant state."
"Reality is changeless. It does not deceive at all."
"His REALITY is forever sinless."
"Reality is not insane"
"In Heaven, reality is SHARED"
"The only part of your mind that has reality, is the part that links you still with...
I received a large envelope in the mail. It was from a medical group that we depend on currently for a treatment. I wondered what it could be. Or more to the point, I feared what it might be. Was...
"Each Soul knows God completely. This IS the miraculous power of the Soul. The fact that each Soul has this power completely is a fact that is entirely alien to human thinking, in which if any ONE has everything, there...
We have to be careful when using terms like "real world" and so on. There is a propensity to associate "real" with "ultimate reality", permanence, eternity, heaven etc. As though describing "places". Like you can be "in" reality or outside...
"Your creations ARE the logical outcome of His premises. HIS thinking has established them FOR you. They are therefore THERE, EXACTLY where they belong. They belong to your mind, as part of your identification with HIS. But your state of...
"This is a very simple course. Perhaps you do not feel that a course which, in the end, teaches nothing more than that only reality is true is necessary. But do you believe it?"
Before the separation from God and the...
Nothing real can be hurt.
Nothing real can be attacked.
Nothing real can be damaged.
Nothing real can be made sick.
Nothing real can ever die.
Nothing real can suffer.
Nothing real can be afraid.
Nothing real can commit a...
Here is the main problem we all face day after day. The body makes an ILLUSORY WORLD seem real. The world is an illusion of a world, a picture of crucifixion, a vision of hell, a depiction of total lies,...
WHAT IS TIME? IS IT ETERNITY? IS TIME REALITY? GOD's CREATION?
There have been a couple of posts here talking about time, and speculating with wishful-thinking that time is eternal or a creation of God. This is not true. The course...
This is a potent, and clarifying passage, about the fact that ALL perception (even true) is totally OPPOSITE to reality still. Even Christ vision, even sight of the real world, is STILL a state of separation. "Perception is a separated...
<3 “Change", is the idea that Eternity has STOPPED being what it was, it has been destroyed, it has been replaced by something that did not exist, which also will be replaced by an upcoming denial of what is. Anything...
"Eternity will shine away the world."
"The world will spin into the nothingness from which it came."
"A forgiven world cannot last."
"There is no world."
This may seem obvious to say, but... whatever existed BEFORE the separation, is **all** that should exist AFTER...
