I am as God created me.

In this ONE thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless future.

All that is asked of you is to make room for truth.



    You are asked to live so as to demonstrate that you are not an ego, and I do not choose God's channels wrongly.

EVERYTHING comes from God, and EVERYTHING is God.

Except ye become as little children” means that unless you fully recognize your complete dependence on God, you cannot know the real power of the Son in his true relationship with the Father. – ACiM Chapter 1, Section V, The Meaning of Miracles, Wholeness and Spirit
"A blessing is a circle of light drawn around a person to protect, heal and strengthen." - John O'Donohue

Knowledge is not the motivation for learning this course.

“Okay, I have forgotten what I am and I accept the truth of my identity and I’m not a body. I can’t be sick.”

“Let us not look east and west for materials of conversation, but rest in presence and unity. A just feeling will fast enough supply fuel for discourse, if speaking be more grateful than silence. When people come to see us, we foolishly prattle, lest we be inhospitable. But things said for conversation are chalk eggs. Don’t say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary. A lady of my acquaintance said, “I don’t care so much for what they say as I do for what makes them say it.”. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, from his essay “Letters and Social Aims” 1875
"How is it possible to get angry at yourself: who, exactly, is angry at whom?"

Forgiving is for giving.

When the ego was made, God placed in the mind the Call to joy [a shift in perception]. This Call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at Its sound.” – ACiM, Text, Chapter 5, The Voice for God


Very quietly now, with your eyes closed, try to let go of all the content that generally occupies your consciousness. Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy, dark clouds. You can see only the clouds because you seem to be standing outside the circle and quite apart from it.

That which we are, we shall teach, not voluntarily, but involuntarily. Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened. Character teaches over our head.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson, from his essay “The Over-Soul”, 1841
To teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration others learn, and so do you. The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no choice. The purpose of the course might be said to provide you with a means of choosing what you want to teach on the basis of what you want to learn. You cannot give to someone else, but only to yourself, and this you learn through teaching. Teaching is but a call to witnesses to attest to what you believe. It is a method of conversion. This is not done by words alone. Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are, and what they are to you. No more than that, but also never less.” -A Course in Miracles
