1. Temptation has one lesson it would teach, in all its forms, wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy Son of God he is a body, born in what must die, unable to escape its frailty, and bound by what it orders him to feel. It sets the limits on what he can do;Continue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION VIII Choose Once Again”

ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION VII. The Savior’s Vision 9-15
9. The veil across the face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they all are different names for just one error; that there is a space between you and your brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself that holds him off from you, andContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION VII.

ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION VII. The Savior’s Vision
1. Learning is change. Salvation does not seek to use a means as yet too alien to your thinking to be helpful, not to make the kinds of change you could not recognize. Concepts are needed while perception lasts, and changing concepts is salvation’s task. For it must deal in contrasts, not in truth, whichContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION VII.

ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION VI. Recognizing the Spirit
1. You see the flesh or recognize the spirit. There is no compromise between the two. If one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies its opposite.

1. There is a tendency to think the world can offer consolation and escape from problems that its purpose is to keep. Why should this be? Because it is a place where choice among illusions seems to be the only choice. And you are in control of outcomes of your choosing. Thus you think, withinContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION IV The Real Alternative”
ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION III. The Self-Accused
1. Only the self-accused condemn. As you prepare to make a choice that will result in different outcomes, there is first one thing that must be overlearned. It must become a habit of response so typical of everything you do that it becomes your first response to all temptation, and to every situation that occurs.Continue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION III. The Self-Accused”
ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION I. The Simplicity of Salvation
1. How simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true now, and never will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have no effects. And that is all. Can this be hard to learn by anyone who wants it to be true? Only unwillingness to learn it couldContinue reading “ACIM CHAPTER 31 THE FINAL VISION I. The Simplicity of Salvation”
