X: The Confusion of Pain and Joy The Kingdom is the result of premises, just as this world is. You may have carried the ego’s reasoning to its logical conclusion, which is total confusion about everything. If you really saw this result you could not want it. The only reason you could possibly want anyContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 7 The Gifts of the Kingdom”

IX: The Extension of the Kingdom Only you can limit your creative power, but God wills to release it. He no more wills you to deprive yourself of your creations then He wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the Sonship or you withhold yourself from God! Selfishness is ofContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 7 The Gifts of the Kingdom”

VIII: The Unbelievable Belief We have said that without projection there can be no anger, but it is also true that without extension there can be no love. These reflect a fundamental law of the mind, and therefore one that always operates. It is the law by which you create and were created. It isContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 7: The Gifts of the Kingdom”

VII: The Totality of the Kingdom 7-11 7. One child of God is the only teacher sufficiently worthy to teach another. One Teacher is in all minds and He teaches the same lesson to all.

VII: The Totality of the Kingdom 1-6 Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother, you will feel deprived, because denial is as total as love.

VI: From Vigilance to Peace 7-13 7. If you will keep in mind what the Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but God and His Kingdom.

VI: From Vigilance to Peace 1-6 Although you can love the Sonship only as one, you can perceive it as fragmented. It is impossible, however, to see something in part of it that you will not attribute to all of it.

V: Healing and the Changelessness of Mind 6-11 6. Fear does not gladden. Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. Healing never does. Fear produces dissociation because it induces separation. Healing always produces harmony because it proceeds from integration. It is predictable because it can be counted on. Everything that is of God can be countedContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 7: The Gifts of the Kingdom”

V: Healing and the Changelessness of Mind 1-5 The body is nothing more than a framework for developing abilities, which is quite apart from what they are used for. That is a decision. The effects of the ego’s decision in this matter are so apparent that they need no elaboration, but the Holy Spirit’s decisionContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 7: The Gifts of the Kingdom”
