"I'm here to remind you, of something you once knew."

... "...That this world is not real."


"Awaken. And come back to the present with me."


"When you have looked on what seemed terrifying, and seen it change to sights of
loveliness and peace; when you have looked on scenes of violence and death, and watched them change to quiet views of gardens under open skies, with clear, life-giving water running happily beside them in dancing brooks that never waste
away; who need persuade you to accept the gift of vision? And after vision, who
is there who could refuse what must come after? Think but an instant just on this; you can behold the holiness God gave his Son. And never need you think that
there is something else for you to see."

- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 20, Section 8

This world is an hallucination and you are light.


"Awaken. And come back to the present with me."


And you shall remember yourself and see a world of light.


That there is only one Solipsist in the Universe, and that this Solipsist is you;


"this world is an hallucination... Hallucinations disappear when they are recognized for what they are..."
"And all you need to do is recognize that *you* did this."


"The miracle returns the cause of fear to you who made it. But it also shows that, having no effects, it is not cause, because the function of causation is to
have effects. And where effects are gone, there is no cause. Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the mind made sickness, and employed the body
to be victim, or effect, of what it made. Yet half the lesson will not teach the
whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but that the body can be healed, for
this is not the lesson it was sent to teach. The lesson is the *mind* was sick that thought the body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused nothing, and
had no effects."


"Child of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful and the holy. Do
not forget this. The love of God, for a little while, must still be expressed through one body to another, because vision is still so dim. You can use your body best to help you enlarge your perception so you can achieve real vision, of
which the physical eye is incapable. Learning to do this is the body's only true
usefulness."


That there is only one Solipsist in the Universe, and that this Solipsist is you;


"This world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within the world. No plans are possible, and no design exists that could be found and understood. What else could be expected from a thing that has no cause? Yet if
it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but never will you give it real effects. For that would change its cause, and it is this you cannot
do. The dreamer of a dream is not awake, but does not know he sleeps. He sees illusions of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without a stable cause with guaranteed effects."


is that what is, only because of human conflict? When everyone says yes, solipsism wins anyway; but how is it that somebody could say "no" and jack us, vs.
self-cut, and self-harm themselves? A relationship is both people saying "yes,"
"and saying what do you want(?)," not either one ruling the other. There is no valid relationship but friendship, and the function of relationships forever, is
to make happy,
_and nothing else_ .


"Healing can only be faith healing for sickness can only be faith in sickness:"

"The changes in wave length which the healing brings about, occur within the radius of 5 feet. It does not matter in what part of the body the healing takes
place, nor by what means it is brought about. From the theoretical point of view
it can be said that healing can only be the result of a change of mind which now
accepts healing where it formerly accepted sickness. The change of mind alters the thought field around the patient, which seems to represent the place where he
is. These changes cannot be different for a healing presumably brought about by medication, surgery, or faith. Healing can only be faith healing for sickness can
only be faith in sickness."

"{the machine[check]}...it is not capable of noting the more subtle changes that
accompany a healing, nor of measuring the almost incalculable distances across which they occur. Within the 5 foot radius, however, the equipment will pick up energy changes that "register" a healing. In a sense, these might be called shadows of an illusion; in the world of dreams they signify the sound of a different voice."
- Notes on Sound, Page 22, January 15, 1973


* "These changes cannot be different for a healing presumably brought about by medication, surgery, or faith. Healing can only be faith healing for sickness can
only be faith in sickness." *

Thus,
"These changes cannot be different, for an enrichment presumably brought about by
lottery winnings, work, or faith. Enrichment can only be faith enrichment, for poverty can only be faith in poverty."

Thus,
"These changes cannot be different, for a cleaning presumably brought about by vacuuming, sweeping, or faith. Cleaning a room can only be faith cleaning a room,
for a messy room can only be faith in a mess."

Thus,
"Change can only be faith change, for state can only be faith in state."


So you believe in the world you see?

So you believe the past creates the present?

You are lost in the past, and that is why you die:


"Awaken. And come back to the present with me."

And you shall remember yourself and see a world of light.


Choose once again


"All that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible that things should happen to
the Son of God without his will; and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose
Will cannot be separate from his own.... Think not that you are faithless, for your belief and trust in this is strong indeed."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 21, Section 2 (3pdf)
"Reason and Perception," "The Responsibility for Sight"


"You did this to yourself."

"The world you see is but the idle witness that you were right. This witness is
insane. You trained it in its testimony, and as it gave it back to you, you listened and convinced yourself that what it saw was true. You did this to yourself. See only this, and you will also see how circular the reasoning on which your "seeing" rests. This was not given you. This was your gift to you and
to your brother. Be willing, then, to have it taken from him and be replaced with
truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it will be given you to see it in
yourself."
"Your brother thinks he made the world with you. Thus he denies creation. With
you, he thinks the world he made, made him. Thus he denies he made it.
Yet the truth is you were both created by a loving Father"


Not only is A Course in Miracles, "non-dualism," A Course in Miracles, is also "non-materialism."


"It is as needful that you recognize you made the world you see, as that you recognize that you did not create yourself. *They are the same mistake* ."
