Sickness is of the Mind

There are people who have all the physical reasons to have heart disease and Alzheimer's disease, whose arteries are all clogged up or have unlucky family history, yet they show no symptoms of the diseases whatsoever. It's always the mind that decides whether or not to get sick - and whether or not to get well.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Nothing of Value Here

Anything in this world that you believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you, and will do so. Not because it has the power to hurt, but just because you have denied it is but an illusion, and made it real. ~ J-Dog, A Course in Miracles

Releasing the Hatred

You're secretly afraid of what's in your unconscious. That's why you have to be vigilant. There is hatred in your mind underneath the surface, but it can be released simply by noticing it when it does surface, and then taking the Holy Spirit's hand instead of the ego's. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Guiltless Mind Cannot Suffer

Another definitive idea in the Course would be that the guiltless mind cannot suffer. It blows the whole idea of glorifying sacrifice right out of the water. Because pain is not a physical process, it's a mental process, and if you healed all the unconscious guilt in the mind, then you couldn't feel any pain. That changes the message of the Crucifixion from the idea of worshiping suffering and sacrifice to a demonstration that if you were healed, then it would be impossible for you to feel any pain or to suffer. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Anger is Never Justified

A definitive statement in the Course would be the idea that anger is never justified. If you made the whole thing up, (which you did, albeit not on this level) then who is there to be angry at? And a related definitive idea would be, 'The secret of salvation is but this: That you are doing this unto yourself.' The two ideas fit together like a hand in a glove, and once you really get them then there's no getting away from them.    ~ Your Immortal Reality

A Tranquil Mind is not A LIttle Gift

You don't have to wait until your experience of enlightenment before you enjoy the benefits of forgiveness. As the Course tells you, "A tranquil mind is not a little gift." ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

A Course in Miracles Expresses the Truth

The Course is required because it expresses the truth. I'm sorry if that sounds arrogant. It doesn't mean that the Course is the only way for anyone to ever find the truth. The truth is an awareness – not a book. But you can’t find this awareness alone. Can a sick mind heal itself? On the level of the world, the answer is no. You need help. You need the miracle. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe
