The Unwritten Doctrine of A Course in Miracles

. . . we are led, gentle step by gentle step, through the labyrinth of duality, learning to forgive instead of condemn, to choose the vision of sameness over our myriad and fragmenting judgments. We are guided by our Teacher through this circle of fear (T-18.IX.3) until we are no longer afraid to abandon the false selves masquerading as bodies, seeing ourselves now as decision-making minds that can choose love in place of guilt and terror.

Learning to Hear the Teaching Behind the Teaching

Can God Be Reached Directly?

God indeed can be reached directly, for there is no distance between Him and His Son. His awareness is in everyone's memory, and His Word is written on everyone's heart. Yet this awareness and this memory can arise across the threshold of recognition only where all barriers to truth have been removed. In how many is this the case? Here, then, is the role of God's teachers. They, too, have not attained the necessary understanding as yet, but they have joined with others. This is what sets them apart from the world. And it is this that enables others to leave the world with them. Alone they are nothing. But in their joining is the Power of God.
