"In order to change a man, spiritual facts must not be taken as dramatic sentiments. This common mistake is made by those with the urge to dramatize everything, especially themselves. By taking spiritual facts as practical pointers, there is no need for an exhausting stage performance. Deep down, every actor yearns to leave the stage and be himself." Vernon Linwood Howard
Do not believe it (the world you perceive) 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. ACiM Text - Chapter Twelve - The Holy Spirit's Curriculum - Section 1
There is nothing outside you. That is what you must ultimately learn, for it is the realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you. For God created only this, and he did not depart from it nor leave it separate from himself. The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling place of the Son of God, who left not his Father and dwells not apart from him. Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, and nothing else within. ACiM - Text Chapter Eighteen - The Passing of the Dream - Section 6 - Beyond the Body
Mind reaches to itself. It does not go out. Within itself it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. It encompasses you entirely; you within it and it within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or ever. ACiM - Text Chapter Eighteen - The Passing of the Dream - Section 6 - Beyond the Body
nothing outside yourself can give you peace.
or disturb your peace
or upset you in any way.
