JCIM, Miracle Principles

22. Miracles are associated with fear only because of the fallacious belief that darkness can HIDE. Man believes that what
he cannot see does not exist, and his physical eyes cannot see in the dark. This is a very primitive solution, and has led to a
denial of the Spiritual eye. * The escape from darkness involves two stages:

A. The recognition that darkness CANNOT hide. This step usually entails fear.

B. The recognition that there is nothing you WANT to hide, even if you COULD.
This step brings ESCAPE from fear.

JCIM, Miracle Principles

40. The miracle dissolves error because the Spiritual eye identifies error as false, or unreal. This is the same as saying that
by perceiving light, darkness automatically disappears.

Darkness is lack of light, as sin is lack of love. It has no unique properties of its own. It is an example of the “scarcity”
fallacy, from which ONLY error can proceed. Truth is always abundant. Those who perceive and acknowledge that they have
everything have no need for driven behavior of ANY kind.

[Miss Hepburn]

"...the attraction of love for love remains irresistible.
For it is the function of love to unite all things unto itself,
and to hold all things together by extending it's wholeness ."


Ch 12 ACIM

JCIM, CH3 Retraining the Mind -

Miracles as Accurate Perception

We have repeatedly stated that the basic concepts referred to in this course are NOT matters of degree. Certain fundamental
concepts CANNOT be meaningfully understood in terms of coexisting polarities. It is impossible to conceive of light and
darkness, or everything and nothing, as joint possibilities. They are all true OR all false. It is essential that you realize that
behavior is erratic until a firm commitment to one or the other is made.

From A Course In Miracles (ACIM) Text Ch 6:


Be vigilant only for God and his Kingdom. - Jesus


Text Ch 1:


There is nothing about me you cannot attain. -Jesus

[Miss Hepburn]

ACIM Text Ch 18

To do nothing is to rest, and make a place in you where the activity
of the body ceases to demand attention.
Into this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides.

JCIM, CH1 - Miracles Principles #42

The emptiness engendered by fear should be replaced by love, because love and its absence are in the same dimension, and
correction cannot be undertaken except WITHIN a dimension. Otherwise, there has been a confusion of levels.

Death is a human affirmation of a belief in “fate,” or level confusion. That is why the Bible says, “There IS no death,” and why I
demonstrated that death does not exist. I came to fulfill the law by REINTERPRETING it. The law itself, if properly understood,
offers only protection to man.

JCIM, CH7, The Total Commitment

When a brother acts insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless him. His need is YOURS. You NEED the blessing
you can offer him. There is no way for you to have it EXCEPT by giving it. This is the law of God, and it has NO exceptions.
What you deny you LACK, not because it IS lacking, but because you have denied it in another, and are therefore not aware of
it in YOU. Every response you make is determined by what you THINK you are, and what you WANT to be IS what you think you
are. Therefore, what you want to be determines every response you make.

JCIM, CH8 The Journey Back

The Body as Means of End

You might well ask how the voice of something which does not exist can be so insistent. Have you seriously considered the
distorting power of something you WANT, even if it is NOT true? You have had many instances of how what you want can
distort what you see and hear. No-one can doubt the ego’s skill in building up false cases. Nor can anyone doubt your willingness
to listen until YOU will not to tolerate anything EXCEPT truth. When YOU lay the ego aside, it will be gone. The Holy Spirit’s
Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen. It cannot be louder without violating your will, which the Holy Spirit seeks to free,
but NEVER to command.
