— A Course in Miracles
This is a course in miracles. It is a required course.
This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way: "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists." Herein lies the peace of God.
There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not 'harder' or 'bigger' than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.
Each day should be devoted to miracles. The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end.
Whatever is true is eternal, and cannot change or be changed.
This is a course in mind training.
Forgiveness is the healing of the perception of separation.
The body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward.
This course is easy just because it makes no compromise. Yet it seems difficult to those who still believe that compromise is possible.
...you must realize that your hatred is in your mind and not outside it before you can get rid of it; and why you must get rid of it before you can perceive the world as it really is.
This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the extent of its insanity.
You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourself and your brother totally without judgement.
I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me.
The theoretical foundation such as the text provides is necessary as a framework to make the exercises in this workbook meaningful.
I am never upset for the reason I think.
There are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.
Very few have realized what is actually entailed in picturing the past or anticipating the future. The mind is actually blank when it does this, because it is not really thinking about anything.
These exercises are concerned with practice, not with understanding. You do not need to practice what you already understand. It would indeed be circular to aim at understanding, and assume that you already have it.
You think that what upsets you is a frightening world, or a sad world, or a violent world, or an insane world. All these attributes are given it by you. The world is meaningless in itself.
Purpose is meaning.
God is in that waste basket.
I could see peace instead of this.
There is a place in you where there is perfect peace.
Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
A mind and body cannot both exist.
God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
This is a manual for the teachers of God.
The world of time is an illusion.
There are no accidents in salvation.
There is nothing you say that contradicts what you think or do; no thought opposes any other thought; no act belies your word; and no word lacks agreement with another. Such are the truly honest.
Healing is accomplished when the sufferer no longer sees any value in pain.
Healing must occur in the exact proportion to which the valuelessness of sickness is recognized.
Healing is always certain.
Doubt is the result of conflicted wishes. Be sure of what you want, and doubt becomes impossible.
Heaven is here. There is nowhere else. Heaven is now. There is no other time.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
