If Miracles Exist There Is No World! - Perhaps You Think You Did Not Make The World

[Miracles Are Seen In Light]

"There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach."
- A Course in Miracles, Workbook, Lesson 132


If miracles exist there is no world. If the world exists, there are no miracles.


"This world is full of miracles."
- A Course in Miracles, Chapter 28, Section 2


"The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. And what you
behold upon it are your wishes, acted out so you can look on them and think them
real. Perhaps you think you did not make the world, but came unwillingly to what
was made already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in
truth you found exactly what you looked for when you came.

There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release.
Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change
accordingly. Ideas leave not their source. This central theme is often stated in
the text, and must be borne in mind if you would understand the lesson for today.
It is not pride which tells you that you made the world you see, and that it
changes as you change your mind.

But it is pride that argues you have come into a world quite separate from
yourself, impervious to what you think, and quite apart from what you chance to
think it is. There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts
to teach. Not everyone is ready to accept it, and each one must go as far as he
can let himself be led along the road to truth. He will return and go still
farther, or perhaps step back a while and then return again."

But healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world, and
can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some
form which they can understand and recognize. Some see it suddenly on point of
death, and rise to teach it. Others find it in experience that is not of this
world, which shows them that the world does not exist because what they behold
must be the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world.

And some will find it in this course, and in the exercises that we do today.
Today's idea is true because the world does not exist. And if it is indeed your
own imagining, then you can loose it from all things you ever thought it was by
merely changing all the thoughts that gave it these appearances. The sick are
healed as you let go all thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let
thoughts of life replace all thoughts you ever held of death. A lesson earlier
repeated once must now be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for
today's idea. You are as God created you. There is no place where you can suffer,
and no time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of time
and place exist, if you remain as God created you?"

"Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible.
Instead, only try to realize the truth...
there is no spoon.
Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends,
it is only yourself."

ACIM IS A CROCK OF CRAP


The so-called ACIM is a crock of crap,
fruitless verbiage, spewed by Satan
himself, to try to draw people away
from GOD's word The Holy Bible which
teaches and preaches that there IS a
fallen angel called Satan, and there IS a
hell prepared for Satan and his angels /
messengers both celestial and human,
and there IS law and sin IS breaking law -
all the things that ACIM say do not exist.

And I have already proven what crock of crap
the so-called ACIM IS in these previous reply

[Miracles Are Seen In Light]

"The secret of salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. No
matter what the form of the attack, this still is true. Whoever takes the role of
enemy and of attacker, still is this the truth. Whatever seems to be the cause of
any pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. For you would not react at
all to figures in a dream you knew that you were dreaming. Let them be as hateful
and as vicious as they may, they could have no effect on you unless you failed to
recognize it is your dream.

This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering, whatever form it
takes. The Holy Spirit will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until
it has been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you pain.
Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this very simple truth.
For this one answer takes away the cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. The
form affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you but the single cause of
all of them, no matter what their form. And you will understand that miracles
reflect the simple statement, " *I* have done this thing, and it is this I would
undo. "

Bring, then, all forms of suffering to Him Who knows that every one is like the
rest. He sees no differences where none exists, and He will teach you how each
one is caused. None has a different cause from all the rest, and all of them are
easily undone by but a single lesson truly learned. Salvation is a secret you
have kept but from yourself. The universe proclaims it so. Yet to its witnesses
you pay no heed at all. For they attest the thing you do not want to know. They
seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you need but learn you chose but not to
listen, not to see.

How differently will you perceive the world when this is recognized! When you
forgive the world your guilt, you will be free of it. Its innocence does not
demand your guilt, nor does your guiltlessness rest on its sins. This is the
obvious; a secret kept from no one but yourself. And it is this that has
maintained you separate from the world, and kept your brother separate from you.
Now need you but to learn that both of you are innocent or guilty. The one thing
that is impossible is that you be unlike each other; that they both be true. This
is the only secret yet to learn. And it will be no secret you are healed."
