“Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.” [ACIM CE W-79:1]

“The body is merely a fact in this world. Its abilities can be, and frequently are, overevaluated. However, it is almost impossible to deny its existence in this world. Those who do are engaging in a particularly unworthy form of denial.” [ACIM CE T-2.VII.7:1-4]

“Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.” [ACIM CE In.1:4-5] 

“As the course emphasizes, you are not free to choose the curriculum or even the form in which you will learn it. You are free, however, to decide when you want to learn it. And as you accept it, it is already learned.” [ACIM CE M-2.3:6-8]

“When time is abolished and all the Sons of God have come home, no special agents will be necessary. But do not underestimate the power of special agents now, or the great need there is for them. I do not claim to be more than that myself.” [ACIM CE T-1.48.6:3-5]

“…who except a patient could possibly have come here?” [ACIM, P-2.I.4:2]

“The body’s cause IS UNforgiveness of the Son of God. It has not left its source, and in its pain and aging and the mark of death upon it this is clearly shown.” [ACIM, S-3.I.2:1-2]

“The body can be healed as an effect of true forgiveness. Only THAT can give rememberance of immortality, which is the gift of holiness and love. Forgiveness must be given by a mind which understands that it must overlook all shadows on the holy face of Christ, among which sickness should be seen as one.” [ACIM, S-3.I.3:1-3]

“Father, today I would let all things be as You created them, and give Your Sons the honor due their sinlessness; the love of brother to his brother and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him.” [ACIM CE W-274]
