A Course in Miracles

by Helen Schucman

First, the recognition that darkness cannot hide. This step usually entails fear. Second, the recognition that there is nothing you want to hide even if you could.

Any belief you accept apart from this will obscure God’s Voice in you, and will therefore obscure God to you.

by projecting your own rejection you then believe that others are taking it from you.

The value of deciding in advance what you want to happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to make it happen.

If the situation is used for truth and sanity, its outcome must be peace.

Had you not lacked faith that it could be solved, the problem would be gone.

Faith has accepted every aspect of the situation, and faithlessness has not forced any exclusion on it.

This simple courtesy is all the Holy Spirit asks of you.

Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing.

Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace.

When you seem to see some twisted form of the original error rising to frighten you, say only, “God is not fear, but Love,” and it will disappear.
