A Course In
Miracles
A Blueprint for real change
Never
before have we had a blueprint of the step-by-step procedure of how the mind
works, psychologically and theologically. Never before have we had a
psychological application for true change and true hope. For the thought system
taught in A Course In Miracles is not based on what one is thinking but how one
is thinking. It is not based on its conceptual content, but on its release.
The practice
of releasing EVERY thought awakens us to the memory of Our Self as One, as a
powerful expression of the Single Source of Reality, Eternally-Creating Life and
Love, which is our natural inheritance.
This
Self-Realization catalyzes a miraculous falling away of behaviors such as
substance abuse, self abuse, abuse of others and criminal behavior restoring the
mind to a thought system based on love instead of fear in the re- establishment
of communication with the Will of God our One True Universal Relationship.
This is an
historic moment for the world. Imagine the benefits to mankind when any
individual recognizes the imperative of hope this gift of Total Awareness
offers. With certainty, the recovery from man's false perception of fear,
conflict, and pain, will accelerate and accomplish a completely new horizon of
purpose based on the innate commonalty of the human species.
The
Transformation
This is a truly unique and
historic moment of transformation for the world. As grief, fear and anger grip
the nation and indeed the world, the devastation we experience leads us to
question if there can ever be a solution to our addiction to terror, war,
conflict, pain, suffering and death.
Every
solution to date has either led to more problems or merely a change in the
appearance of any problem. " The separated ones have invented many 'cures' for
what they believe to be the 'ills of the world.' But the one thing they do not
do is to question the reality of the problem. Yet its effects cannot be cured
because the problem is not real."
A Course
In Miracles
A Course In Miracles is the solution or healing of the apparent conditional
situation between God and man, which is one of false separation, and to the
manner in which that apparent schism is and was repaired. Its sole purpose is to
bring enlightenment through the transformation of your mind.
The Course teaches "My thoughts are images I have made". Everything is only your
idea of it. Total responsibility for what one perceives permits one to change in
an instant, perception in its entirety. This necessitates a transformation that
is the mind training program of A Course In Miracles for "an untrained mind can
accomplish nothing". To change your mind IS to change the world for "the world
you see is of your own making and does not exist!"
Every great
quantum discovery points to it. Neils Bohr tells me that the "fuzzy and nebulous
world of the atom only sharpens into concrete reality when an observation is
made". From Einstein's theory of relativity where time is relative to the
observer, to Wheeler's self-observing universe, it is clear that the world I see
is a product of my own mind. No one argues the fact of it….that is, not until it
comes to their own personal experience. What if I am totally responsible for the
world I see?!

"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.
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."
What Does It
Say?

You are as God created you.
"This
one thought would be enough to save you and the world, if you believed that it
is true. Its truth would mean that you have made no changes in yourself that
have reality, nor changed the universe so that what God created was replaced by
fear and evil, misery and death.
If you remain as God created you fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and
misery and death do not exist.
How can a world of time and place exist, if you remain as God created you?
What is this lesson except another way of saying that to know your Self is the
salvation of the world? To free the world from every kind of pain is but to
change your mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because
ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in
thought.
Yet if you are as God created you, you cannot think apart from Him, nor make
what does not share His timelessness and Love. Are these inherent in the world
you see? Does it create like Him? Unless it does, it is not real, and cannot be
at all. If you are real the world you see is false, for God's creation is unlike
the world in every way. And as it was His Thought by which you were created, so
it is your thoughts which made it and must set it free, that you may know the
Thoughts you share with God.
In this one thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly
extend into a timeless future. If you are as God created you, then there has
been no separation of your mind from His, no split between your mind and other
minds, and only unity within your own.
The healing
power of this idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great
restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. Accept this idea with
gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free. This is the truth that
God has promised you. This is the Word in which all sorrow ends. This is the key
that opens up the gate of Heaven, and that lets you enter in the peace of God
and His Eternity."
