BASIC CONCEPT #1: THE POWER OF YOUR MIND/BELIEF
(The Formula)
Before your
loveliness the stars stand
transfixed, and bow to the power of your
will. Urtext
only
Your will be done! In Heaven as on earth this is forever true. It matters not where you believe you are, or
what you think the truth about yourself must really be. It makes no difference what you look upon,
nor what you choose to feel or think or wish.
For God Himself hath said, “Thy
will be done.” And
it IS done to you accordingly. T-31.VI.4.3-8
...YOU can give [any belief] the power
of YOUR mind, whose power is without limit of ANY kind. T-7.VII.1.5 portion
Both the power and the strength of man’s
creative will must be understood, before the real meaning of denial [of
your reality] can be appreciated and abolished.
Denial is NOT mere negation. It is a positive miscreation. While the miscreation is NECESSARILY believed
in by its own creator, it does not exist at all at the level of true Creation. Urtext/OE only
The mind is
a very powerful creator, and it never
loses its creative force. It never sleeps. Every instant it is creating, and
ALWAYS as you will. T-2.VI.9.5-7 plus deleted
fragment
...what you
do not perceive you still know, and it
can retain a very active life BEYOND your awareness. Urtext/OE only
By the notion of PAYING FOR the past in the future [the belief in karma], the past becomes the DETERMINER of
the future, making THEM continuous, WITHOUT an intervening present. T-13.IV.4.4
You cannot resolve your ... problem[s] by
depreciating [denying] the power of your minds. ... you
CANNOT weaken it anymore than you can weaken God. T-3.VII.2.1
THE "FORMULA" THAT MAKES YOUR
WORLD
You see what you believe, and
what you believe, you invite; what you invite, you plan for and so will see
AGAIN.
- You see what you expect, and you expect what you invite.
Your perception is the result of your invitation, coming to you as you sent for
it. T-12.VII.5.1-2
- You would
anticipate the future on the
basis of your PAST experience and plan
for it accordingly. And by so doing, you
are ALIGNING past and future, and not
allowing the miracles, which could intervene BETWEEN them, to free you
to be born again. T-13.VI.4.7-8
The world
can give you ONLY what you gave it, for being
nothing but your own projection, it HAS no meaning apart from what you
found in it, and placed your faith in.
...and if you place your faith in the
past, the future WILL be like it. T-13.IX.3.1
[Blocking
love] loses the awareness of being; induces feelings of unreality; and results
in utter confusion. Your own thinking
has done this because of its power, but
your own thinking can also save you FROM this because its power is NOT of
your making. Your ability to DIRECT your thinking as you will is PART of
its power. Urtext/OE only
THE WAY OUT OF
THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF THE
"FORMULA"
If
I merely intervene between your thoughts and their results, I would be tampering with a basic law of
cause and effect, in fact the most fundamental one there is in this world. I
would hardly help if I depreciated the
power of your own thinking. This
would be in direct opposition to the purpose of this course. T-2.VII.1.4-6
... different experiences lead to different beliefs, and with
them different perceptions. For perceptions
are learned WITH beliefs, and experience
teaches. I am leading you to a new
kind of experience, which you will become less and less willing to deny. ...Let
the Christ in you interpret FOR you, and do
not try to limit what you see by narrow little beliefs, which
are unworthy of God’s Son.
T-11.VI.3.4-6 and 9
This year, determine NOT to deny what
has been given you BY God, to use for Him. He has Himself reminded you of Him.
Awake and SHARE it, for that is the only reason He has called to you. His Voice
has spoken clearly, and yet you have so little faith in what you heard, because
you have preferred to place still
greater faith in the disaster YOU have made. Today, let us resolve TOGETHER
to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is NOT real, and that reality is NOT
disaster. Reality is safe and sure
and wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love
than to accept this, and be glad. For love asks only that YOU BE HAPPY, and will GIVE you everything that makes
for happiness. T-16.II.8.2-8
