"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. This is the Son of God's replacement for his will, a mad revolt against what must forever be. This is the statement that
he has the power to make God powerless and so to take it for himself, and leave himself without what God has willed for him. This is the mad idea you have enshrined upon your altars, and which you worship. And everything that threatens
this seems to attack your faith, for here is it invested. Think not that you are
faithless, for your belief and trust in this is strong indeed."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 21, Section 3, "The Responsibility for Sight"
"Your will be done, you holy child of God. It does not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father wills of you can never change. The truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure as light, as innocent as love
itself. And you are worthy that your will be done!"
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 31, Section 6
"God, being Love, is also happiness."
- A Course in Miracles, Workbook, Lesson 103
"Ultimately everyone must remember the Will of God, because ultimately everyone must recognize himself. This recognition is the recognition that his will and God's are one. In the presence of truth, there are no unbelievers and no sacrifices. In the security of reality, fear is totally meaningless. To deny what is can only seem to be fearful. Fear cannot be real without a cause, and God
is the only Cause. God is Love and you do want him. This is your will. Ask for
this and you will be answered, because you will be asking only for what belongs to
you."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 9, Section 1
"The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God's Will is outside yourself,
and therefore not yours. In this interpretation it seems possible for God's Will
and yours to conflict. God, then, may seem to demand of you what you do not want
to give, and thus deprive you of what you want. Would God, Who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your will is his life, which he has given to you. Even
in time you cannot live apart from him. Sleep is not death. What he created can
sleep, but cannot die. Immortality is his will for his Son, and his Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot will death for himself because his Father is life,
and his Son is like him. Creation is your will *because* it is his."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 11, Section 1, (2pdf)
"When you accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose in place of the ego's you renounced
death, exchanging it for life. We know that an idea leaves not its source. And
death is the result of the thought we call the ego, as surely as life is the result of the Thought of God."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 19, Section 9
The idea of God, has no meaning, apart from you.
"The world you perceive is a world of separation. Perhaps you are willing to accept even death to deny your Father. Yet he would not have it so, and so it is
not so. You still cannot will against him, and that is why you have no control over the world you made. It is not a world of will because it is governed by the
desire to be unlike God, and this desire is not will. The world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by arbitrary and senseless "laws," and without
meaning of any kind. For it is made out of what you do not want, projected from
your mind because you are afraid of it. Yet this world is only in the mind of its
maker, along with his real salvation. Do not believe it is outside of yourself,
for only by recognizing where it is will you gain control over it. For you do have control over your mind, since the mind is the mechanism of decision.
If you will recognize that all the attack you perceive is in your own mind and nowhere else, you will at last have placed its source, and where it begins it must
end. For in this same place also lies salvation.
The altar of God where Christ abideth is there. You have defiled the altar, but
not the world. Yet Christ has placed the Atonement on the altar for you. Bring your perceptions of the world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There
you will see your vision changed, and there you will learn to see truly. From this place, where God and his Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace and behold the world truly.
Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your investment in the world as you project it, allowing the Holy Spirit to extend the real world to you from the altar of God."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 12, Section 7
"If you will recognize that all the attack [disagreement] you perceive is in your
own mind and nowhere else, you will at last have placed its source, and where it
begins it must end. For in this same place also lies salvation.
...Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your investment in the world as you
_project_ it, allowing [Your] Holy Spirit to _extend_ the real world to you from
the altar of God."
- A Course in Miracles, "The Holy Spirit's Curriculum" Chapter 12; "The Investment in Reality" Section 3
"Possession is very closely related to projection. “Lucifer” could be literally translated “Light Bearer.” He literally PROJECTED himself from Heaven.
Projection still has this “hurling” connotation, because it involves hurling
something you DO NOT want, and regard as dangerous and frightening, to someone else. This is the opposite of the Golden Rule, and having placed this rule upside
down, the reverse of miracles, or projection, follows automatically.)"
"Possession really means “Not under Christ‐Control”, thus making him (the
mind?) vulnerable to projection. The references to the earth‐bound entering bodies really refer to the “taking over” by their own earth‐bound “thoughts.” This
IS Demon Possession. After all, Lucifer fell, but he was still an angel. He is thus the symbol for man. Atonement is the knowledge that the belief that angels
can fall is false."
"remember that error cannot really threaten Truth, which ALWAYS can withstand
its assaults. ONLY the error is really vulnerable."
“Casting spells” merely means “affirming error”, and error is lack of love.
When man projects this onto others, he DOES imprison them, but only to the extent
that he reinforces errors they have already made. This distortion makes them vulnerable to the curse of others, since they have already cursed themselves. The
miracle worker can only bless [*extend*], and this undoes the curse and frees the
soul from prison."
- A Course in Miracles, Unedited URTEXT, pages 22-24, Combined Version pages 30-33
"I said before that what you project or extend is up to you, but you must do one
or the other, for that is a law of mind, and you must look in before you look out.
As you look in, you choose the guide for seeing. And then you look out and behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you seek. What you want in yourself you will make manifest, and you will accept it from the world because you
put it there by wanting it. When you think you are projecting what you do not want, it is still because you *do* want it. This leads directly to dissociation,
for it represents the acceptance of two goals, each perceived in a different place; separated from each other because you made them different. The mind then
sees a divided world outside itself, but not within. This gives it an illusion of
integrity, and enables it to believe that it is pursuing one goal. Yet as long as
you perceive the world as split, you are not healed. For to be healed is to pursue one goal, because you have accepted only one and want but one.
When you want only love you will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of
the witnesses you perceive is merely the reflection of your conflicting invitations. You have looked upon your mind and accepted opposition there, having
sought it there. But do not then believe that the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest only to your decision about reality, returning to you the messages you gave them. Love, too, is recognized by its messengers. If you make
love manifest, its messengers will come to you because you invited them." Ch.12, Sec.7 - The Holy Spirit's Curriculum
"There is no will except the Will of Love."
- A Course in Miracles, Workbook, Lesson 331
"I can teach you, but only you can choose to listen to my teaching. How else can
it be, if God's Kingdom is freedom? Freedom cannot be learned by tyranny of any
kind, and the perfect equality of all God's Sons cannot be recognized through the
dominion of one mind over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all being the Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I came to teach."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 8, Section 4
"the advanced teachers of God... see no will as separate from their own, nor theirs as separate from God's."
- Manual for Teachers, Section 5, How Is Healing Accomplished?
We're all supposed to be totally willful, and not jack others.
If Solipsism *was* the truth, and you said that it wasn't, it certainly wouldn't
_be_, would _it_? But you say they hit you first hmm? But thought precedes action and:
"There is another vision and another voice in which your freedom lies, awaiting your choice. And if you place your faith in them, you will perceive another self
in you. This other self sees miracles as natural. They are as simple and as natural to it as breathing to the body. They are the obvious response to calls for help, the only one it makes. Miracles seem unnatural to the ego because it does not understand how separate minds can influence each other. Nor *could* they
do so. But minds cannot be separate. This other self is perfectly aware of this.
And thus it recognizes that miracles do not affect another's mind, only its own.
They always change *your* mind. There is no other."
- A Course in Miracles, "Reason and Perception" Chapter 21, "The Function of Reason" Section 5
"You do not realize the whole extent to which the idea of separation has interfered with reason."
"for now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face"
- 1 Corinthians 13:12
when the figure in the mirror moves, who moved? To control actions we must control thoughts.
I'm...
thinking you thinking me, thinking you thinking me,
thinking you thinking me, thinking you thinking me,
thinking you thinking me, thinking you thinking me,
thinking you thinking me, thinking you thinking me,
When you get to the point that you "perceive another self in you," it is not as if
"outside," like separate from you and the ego, which is merely the thought of separation. But...
there *is* One Self which runs through all things.
How do you reconcile duality.
Someone who hates themselves is communicating with me, and making me hate myself.
Therefore making me think like him. The murderous are suicidal, and the suicidal
are murderous. To respond to them in kind is to become murderous and suicidal.
How do I stop someone from communicating with me? How do I stop someone from hitting me in the face? How do I control other's thoughts and therefore other's
movements?
Someone is making me think like him and hate myself like he hates himself.
To know him is to hate him?? Irregardless, I don't want to know him.
What is the analytical religious scientific theory on people problems? "Solipsism"
- my dream, as "A Course in Miracles" says? Or "Duality," as "A Course in Miracles" apparently says elsewhere? What of someone meditating on peace, being
slapped in the face? I think when you manifest love, you shine away your adversary's error; for the fact is "his" error is merely and only in _your own mind_. There is no error. But I'm not sure how this applies completely when someone declares war or takes violence on you.
I think when you manifest love, you shine away your adversary's error; for the fact is "his" error is merely and only in _your own mind_. There is no error.
If Solipsism *was* the truth, and you said that it wasn't, it certainly wouldn't
_be_, would _it_? Moses was using war miracles, but Moses was therefore still getting jacked by the Egyptians. But you say they hit you first hmm? But that was in the past? Now you just say "oh that's not going to be," and you're not afraid? _But they attack you_, and apparently they mean to attack you? But you
can change their minds with your minds if you overcome the world in your mind? Is
this really the analytical theory?? We need the answers or we'll just be murdered
like so many Saints murdered gruesomely throughout the ages...
For what is salvation, but to overcome the world, or to know God, or both. And what is to overcome the world, but to overcome health, wealth, and people problems. Since the foundation of the world, only health, wealth and people problems have plagued mankind. If you don't overcome the world, then the world overcomes you. But when Jesus says in the Bible, and in A Course in Miracles, "Be
of good cheer, for I have overcome the world," does he mean to say he has overcome
people problems as well?
I mean, sure, he loves you. He loves them. But has he overcome the world, when
they won't let him live? How do you explain this. The Nazi says "God is not here
today," just before he shoots the Jew in front of you (and Jesus was Jewish), but
you say, "what motivates you," why get up in the morning. Why didn't the Stoneman
Douglas killer just stay in bed that day. "Why not just, walk away Nazi," "Let's
have a nicer time over there." "Put that razor blade away, and stop cutting yourself, stop self-harming."
The Children of the Corn need better direction. The boys in William Golding's book "The Lord of the Flies," need to meditate, find peace, and look to the light
within.
This light within gives infinite power and happiness...
