A Course in Miracles Made Easy: Mastering the Journey from Fear to Love

by Alan Cohen

Every moment, the Course tells us, offers us a choice between fear and love. When Cliff Klein encountered that robber, the scenario could have taken a hundred different directions, mostly dark. But when Cliff chose to view that situation as a call for love rather than an attack, he created an entirely different outcome than he would have generated if he had acted from fear. Miracles are the natural outcome of choosing love.

Boil every choice down to what heals versus what hurts, answer fear with love, and you will find the peace you seek.

The images we impress upon our mind, especially when accompanied by emotion, yield the same experience whether they are true or fictional.

When the world does not understand, accept, or support you, you do not walk alone. And if you should lose faith in yourself, God still has faith in you.

You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go.

You will never find peace by blaming external people and events for your misery, or by giving them credit for your salvation. You are doing it all to and for yourself.
