1. ¹This is a course in miracles. ²It is a required course. ³Only the time you take it is voluntary. ⁴Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum.

I always thought that “free will” meant anything in the world…but here, it makes it a fact that “free will” does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. The curriculum came from another Source, another Light (notice big S in Source, and L in Light). And, it is only right, since it is a “required” course. But, you have free will, but you have to take it, which means this lifetime, or the next lifetime, you will have to take it.

1. ⁸The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.

2. ¹This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:

²Nothing real can be threatened. ³Nothing unreal exists. ⁴Herein lies the peace of God.

I love this passage. I am at home with this, because I am One with the Holy Spirit. I am One with the God. Illusions are unreal, and if we are here, we are an ego, we are unreal. But, I don’t include my self in this, because “Nothing real can be threatened.” I am not threatened because I am One with God, because I am One with the Holy Spirit, because I am One with Jesus…
