V: The Undivided Will of the Sonship Can you be separated from your identification and be at peace?  Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion.  The delusional believe that truth will assail them, and they do not recognize it because they prefer the delusion.

IV: The Gift of Freedom  If God’s Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His Will.  His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever.  When you are not at peace it can only be because you do not believe you are in Him. Continue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 8: The Journey Back”

It isContinue reading “A COURSE IN MIRACLES Chapter 8 The Journey Back”
