It is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is nothing in the world that has the power to make you ill or sad, or weak or frail. But it is you who have the power to dominate all things you see by merely recognizing what you are.
~ Jesus, A Course in Miracles
True Self
You must join the great crusade to correct it
When you have been restored to the recognition of your original state, you will naturally become part of the Atonement yourself. As you share my unwillingness to accept error in yourself and others, you must join the great crusade to correct it. The power to work miracles belongs to you.
Jesus, A Course in Miracles
Every decision you make
Every decision you make stems from what you think you are, and represents the value that you put upon yourself.
~ Jesus, A Course in Miracles
The Kingdom of Heaven is you
It is hard to understand what “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you” really means. This is because it is not understandable to the ego, which interprets it as if something outside is inside, and this does not mean anything.
The word “within” is unnecessary. The Kingdom of Heaven is you.
What else but you did the Creator create and what else but you is His Kingdom?
J, A Course in Miracles
Love takes off masks
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
~ James Baldwin
