1. The slave of idols is a willing slave. For willing he must be to let himself bow down in worship to what has no life and seek for power in the powerless. What happened to the holy Son of God that this could be his wish; to let himself fall lower than the stonesContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING IX The Forgiving Dream”

ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING VIII The Anti-Christ
1. What is an idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such, and never seen for what they really are. That is the only power that they have. Their purpose is to obscure, and they are feared and worshipped, both, because you do not know what they are for, and whyContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING VIII The Anti-Christ”
ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING VII. Seek Not Outside Yourself
1. Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an idol fails. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God calls will never answer in His place. There is no other answer you canContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING VII. Seek Not Outside Yourself”
ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING VI. Forgiveness and the End of Time
1. How willing are you to forgive your brother? How much do you desire peace instead of endless strife and misery and pain? These questions are the same, in different form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of separation and the dream of danger and destruction, sin and death, of madness andContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING VI. Forgiveness and the End of Time”
ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING V. The Changeless Dwelling Place
1. There is a place in you where this whole world is forgotten, where no memory of sin and of illusion lingers still. There is a place in you which time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard.

ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING IV. Dream Roles
1. Do you believe that truth can be but some illusions? They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have understood that dreams are dreams and that escape depends, not on the dream, but only on awakening. Could it beContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING IV. Dream Roles”
ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING III. God’s Witnesses
1. Condemn your savior not because he thinks he is a body. For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior first before he can remember what he is. And he must save who would be saved. On saving you depends his happiness. For who is savior but theContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING III. God’s Witnesses”
ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING II. The Coming of the Guest
1. Why would you not perceive it as relief from suffering to learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth instead of looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so clearly marked it is impossible to lose the way, seem thorny, rough, and far too difficult forContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING II. The Coming of the Guest”
ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING I. The Closing of the Gap
1. There is no time, no place, no state where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no way in which a gap could be conceived of in the wholeness that is His. The compromise the least and littlest gap would represent in His eternal love is quite impossible. For itContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 29 THE AWAKENING I. The Closing of the Gap”
