This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite. 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. (Intro)
The hidden can terrify not for what it is, but for its hiddenness. (p. 265)
Nothing you see means anything alone. (p. 268)
Clean but the mirror and the message shines forth. (p. 271)
Fantasies are the veil behind which truth is hidden. (p. 316)
Whenever your thoughts wander, enter with Him into a holy instant, and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness to share His perspective to give it to you completely. (p. 323)
There is nothing outside you. (p. 358)
Heaven is not a place or a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect oneness. (p. 359)
Let your self be one with something beyond it. (p. 361)
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 to see. (p.445 – T-21.In.1:7)
Every thought you have makes up some segment of the world you see. It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work, if your perception of the world is to be changed. (p. 34 – Workbook for Students, 23:1.4 )
