A Course in Miracles distinguishes between making and creating. Making is what the ego does; it is always the attempt to work with illusions in the attempt to build a better illusion, the illusion to end all illusions. What is made always has form, and it always emphasizes form and appearance, and thus it cannot serve the function of communication. To make is to project and to take what is projected literally. Only the guilty can make, because they have forgotten what they are in truth, and thus have forsaken their true creativity.
