In this episode, Ezra talks about two practices as taught in ACIM. One is coming into the truth of the Self with sitting practice periods of experiencing more and more the stillness and silence of God's Presence, knowing we are His Son. And the other is abiding in the awareness of the Holy Spirit, watching all things that come up within the character that is our separated "self" in order to allow it to dissolve. God&...

The way is not hard, but it is very different. ²Yours is the way of pain, of which God knows nothing. ³That way is hard indeed, and very lonely. ⁴Fear and grief are your guests, and they go with you and abide with you on the way. ⁵But the dark journey is not the way of God’s Son. ⁶Walk in light and do not see the dark companions, for they are not fit companions for the Son of God, who was created of light and in light. ⁷The great l...

1 Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because nothing is beyond you. ²Time and eternity are both in your mind, and will conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to regain eternity. ³You cannot do this as long as you believe that anything that happens to you is caused by factors outside yourself.

2 God created nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for you are part of Him. ²What ...

When you heal, that is exactly what you are doing. You are recognizing the changeless mind in your brother by perceiving that he could not have changed his mind. That is how you perceive the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him that never changes His Mind. He himself must think he can, or he could not perceive himself as sick. He therefore does not know what his self is. If you see only the changeless in him, you h...

In your mind, and in your mind only, He sorts out the true from the false, and teaches you to judge every thought that you allow to enter in the light of what God put there. Whatever is in accord with this light He retains to strengthen the Kingdom in you. When it is partly in accord with truth, He accepts it and purifies it. But what is out of accord entirelyHe rejects by judging against. This is how He keeps the Kingdom perfectly...

The Holy Spirit, the shared Inspiration of all the Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which many elements are like those in the Kingdom of Heaven itself. First, its universality is perfectly clear, and no one who receives it could ever believe for one instant that sharing it involves anything but gain. Second, it is incapable of attack and is without judgment, and is therefore truly open. This means that, although it does not...

Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you through, and carry you beyond them all.

Refuse to be sidetracked into detours, illusions and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to salvat...

Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning, and thus keeping it unreal for you. ⁴Do not let any belief in its realness enter your mind, or you will also believe that you must undo what you have made in order to be forgiven. ⁵What has no effect does not exist, and to the Holy Spirit the effects of error are nonexistent.⁶By steadily and consistently cancelling out all its effects, every...

The result of genuine devotion is inspiration, a word which, properly understood, is the opposite of fatigue. ⁶To be fatigued is to be dispirited, but to be inspired is to be in the spirit. ⁷To be egocentric is to be dispirited, but to be self-centered in the right sense is to be inspired, or in the spirit. ⁸The truly inspired are enlightened and cannot abide in darkness.
