There is no statement that the world is more afraid to hear than this:
I do not know the thing I am, and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself.
Yet in this learning is salvation born.
And What you are will tell you of Itself.
A Course in Miracles, The Text Chapter 31
This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin,
all to be given you.
Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies:
I am responsible for what I see.
I choose the feelings I experience,
and I decide upon the goal I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for,
and receive as I have asked.
A Course in Miracles, The Text Chapter 21
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 the 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.
