VI. Judgment and the Authority Problem 6-11 6. God offers mercy. Your words should reflect only mercy, because that is what you have received and that is what you should give. Justice is a temporary expedient, or an attempt to teach you the meaning of mercy. It is judgmental only because you are capable ofContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 3: The Innocent Perception”

A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 3: The Innocent Perception
VI. Judgment and the Authority Problem 1-5 We have already discussed the Last Judgment, but in insufficient detail. After the Last Judgment there will be no more. Judgment is symbolic because beyond perception there is no judgment. When the Bible says, “Judge not that ye be not judged,” it means that if you judge theContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 3: The Innocent Perception”

V. Beyond Perception 6-10 6. Prayer is a way of asking for something. It is the medium of miracles. But the only meaningful prayer is for forgiveness because those who have been forgiven have everything. Once forgiveness has been accepted, prayer in the usual sense becomes utterly meaningless. The prayer for forgiveness is nothing moreContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 3: The Innocent Perception”

V. Beyond Perception 1-5 I have said that the abilities you possess are only shadows of your real strength, and that perception, which is inherently judgmental, was introduced only after the separation.

Chapter 3 THE INNOCENT PERCEPTION IV. Error and the Ego The abilities you now possess are only shadows of your real strength. All of your present functions are divided and open to question and doubt. This is because you are not certain how you will use them and therefore incapable of knowledge. You are alsoContinue reading “A Course in Miracles CHAPTER 3: ERROR AND THE EGO”

Knowledge is power because it is certain, and certainty is strength. Continue reading “A Course in Miracles CHAPTER THREE: THE INNOCENT PERCEPTION”

II. Miracles as True Perception I have stated that the basic concepts referred to in this course are not matters of degree. Certain fundamental concepts cannot be understood in terms of opposites. It is impossible to conceive of light and darkness or everything and nothing as joint possibilities. They are all true or all false.

I. Atonement Without Sacrifice A further point must be perfectly clear before any residual fear still associated with miracles can disappear. The crucifixion did not establish the Atonement, the resurrection did. Many sincere Christians have misunderstood this. No one who is free of the belief in scarcity could possibly make this mistake. If the crucifixionContinue reading “A Course in Miracles 3: THE INNOCENT PERCEPTION”
