C 1: II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 4

II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 4 4 “No man cometh unto the Father but by me” does not mean that I am in any way separate or different from you except in time, and time does not really exist. The statement is more meaningful in terms of a vertical rather than a horizontal axis.Continue reading “C 1: II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 4”

C 1: II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 3

II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 3 3 Awe should be reserved for revelation, to which it is perfectly and correctly applicable.

You are a perfect creation, and should experience aweContinue reading “C 1: II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 3”

C 1: II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 2

II. Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 2 2 Revelation is intensely personal and cannot be meaningfully translated. That is why any attempt to describe it in words is impossible.

Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 2”

C 1:II.Revelation, Time and Miracles, P 1

C 1: I. Principles of Miracles, P 49

I. Principles of Miracles, P 49 49 The miracle makes no distinction among degrees of misperception. It is a device for perception correction, effective quite apart from either the degree or the direction of the error. This is its true indiscriminateness. Journal Perception is either true, or it isn’t. All errors are simply errors, notContinue reading “C 1: I. Principles of Miracles, P 49”

C 1: I. Principles of Miracles, P 48

I. Principles of Miracles, P 48 48 The miracle is the only device at your immediate disposal for controlling time.

C 1: I. Principles of Miracles, P 47

I. Principles of Miracles, P 47 47 The miracle is a learning device that lessens the need for time. It establishes an out-of-pattern time interval not under the usual laws of time. In this sense it is timeless.   Journal When I feel like someone has attacked me it is possible I will feel theContinue reading “C 1: I. Principles of Miracles, P 47”

C 1: I. Principles of Miracles, P 46

I. Principles of Miracles, P 46 46 The Holy Spirit is the highest communication medium. Miracles do not involve this type of communication because they are temporary communication devices.
