Miracles rearrange perception and place all levels in true perspective. This is healing because sickness comes from confusing the levels (T-1.I.23:1-2). Note that this principle subtly points out that miracles occur in the context of separation – the healing they produce (here defined as the end of level confusion) still relies on perspective, i.e., aContinue reading “The Twenty-Third Principle of A Course in Miracles”

The Twenty-Second Principle of A Course in Miracles
Miracles are associated with fear only because of the belief that darkness can hide. You believe that what your physical eyes cannot see does not exist.

Miracles unify all minds who yet believe they are separate and personal in God Who created all minds as one. In essence, theContinue reading “The Nineteenth Principle of A Course in Miracles”
