When I said, "I am with you always," I meant it literally. I am not absent to anyone in any situation. Because I am always with you, you are the way, the truth and the life.

My mind will always be like yours, because we were created as equals. It was only my decision that gave me all power in Heaven and earth. My only gift to you is to help you make the same decision.

This decision is the choice to share it, because the decision itself is the decision to share. It is made by giving, and is therefore the one choice that resembles true creation.

I am your model for decisions. By deciding for God I showed you that this decision can be made, and that you can make it.

My part in the Atonement is not complete until you join it and give it away.

Of yourself you can do nothing, because of yourself you are nothing. I am nothing without the Father and you are nothing without me, because by denying the Father you deny yourself.

A concept of the self is made by you. It bears no likeness to yourself at all. It is an idol, made to take the place of your reality as Son of God

The concept of yourself that now you hold would guarantee your function here remain forever unaccomplished and undone. And thus it dooms you to a bitter sense of deep depression and futility. Yet it need not be fixed, unless you choose to hold it past the hope of change and keep it static and concealed within your mind.

The secret of salvation is but this: That you are doing this unto yourself. No matter what the form of the attack, this still is true. Whoever takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this the truth. Whatever seems to be cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. For you would not react at all to figures in a dream you knew that you were dreaming. Let them be as hateful and as vicious as they may, they could have no effect on you unless you failed to recognize it is your dream.

Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this attack must be replaced by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.

Offer your faith to Me, and I will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You will find no deception there, but only the simple truth.

Deny me not the little gift I ask, when in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of God, and power to bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the world uncertain, lonely, and in constant fear.

As you teach so shall you learn. I will never leave you or forsake you, because to forsake you would be to forsake myself and God Who created me.

The world can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open mind that truth returns, unhindered and unbound.

I take the journey with you. For I share your doubts and fears a little while, that you may come to me who recognize the road by which all fears and doubts are overcome. We walk together. I must understand uncertainty and pain, although I know they have no meaning.

Yet a savior must remain with those he teaches, seeing what they see, but still retaining in his mind the way that led him out, and now will lead you out with him.

I have called and you will answer. Miracles are natural, because they are expressions of love. My calling you is as natural as your answer, and as inevitable.

The way is open. Now we follow in peace together. You have reached your hand to me and I will never leave you.

We are one, and it is but this oneness that we seek, as we accomplish these few final steps which end a journey that was not begun.

"Jesus is speaking an excerpt from a course in miracles "do u think it has any merit" ?



Jesus Christ has not spoken in A Course In Miracles;

His words to mankind are contained within the Word of God.

Jesus Christ is Himself the Word made flesh.



People have long hoped to discredit the Bible which has much documentation for it's authenticity yet embrace this ACIM book that has no verification for it's validity.

And that is to be expected.

People have always wanted a counterfeit Christ..

perhaps no longer plenty interior the Cup sequence, yet ringers run super in national. Scott Pruett could have gained approximately 5 races by skill of now, and at present Ron Fellows has run super or perhaps gained a race. If 2007 hadn't been a entire loose-for-all on the tip in Montreal, And Pilgram would have held the lead for greater then 2 feet in the process the eco-friendly-white-checkered and Patrick Carpentier would have had of undertaking. As for the Cup sequence, they won't win, yet whilst replaced into the final time a "ringer" had a real high quality experience? a minimum of the ringers can provide the communities close to the right 35 bubble a real shot interior the arm.

ACIM is a bunch of rehashed 19th century New thought nonsense--sorry. And yes I have a copy in my library. A very boring read.
