A Course in Miracles is not a handbook for a lifelong spiritual practice of nondual bliss. It is not a new age fantasy of oneness with the cosmos. Its lessons do not teach a post-Christian mysticism. It’s not a spiritual variation of “I’m okay, you’re okay.” Or rather, it is all of those things, butContinue reading “ACIM Miracle Principles: An Introduction”

The Fiftieth Principle of A Course in Miracles
The miracle compares what you have made with creation, accepting what is in accord with it as true, and rejecting what is out of accord as false (T-1.I.50:1). This penultimate principle of miracles identifies us as creators, participants in God’s Kingdom, created to create as God creates. We do this when we think as GodContinue reading “The Fiftieth Principle of A Course in Miracles”

The Holy Spirit is the highest communication medium. Miracles do not involve this type of communication, because they are temporary communication devices. When you return to your original form of communication with God by direct revelation, the need for miracles is over (T-1.I.46:1-3). The Holy Spirit is in our mind in a real and practicalContinue reading “The Forty-Sixth Principle of A Course in Miracles”
