• This is a course in miracles. It is a required course.
  • T-in.1:1-2

• This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way: "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists." Herein lies the peace of God.
  • T-in.2:1-4

• There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not 'harder' or 'bigger' than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.
  • T-1.I.1:1-4

• Each day should be devoted to miracles. The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end.
  • T-1.I.15:1-3

• Whatever is true is eternal, and cannot change or be changed.
  • T-1.V.5:1

• This is a course in mind training.

• ...you must realize that your hatred is in your mind and not outside it before you can get rid of it; and why you must get rid of it before you can perceive the world as it really is.
  • Text, Chapter 12

• This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the extent of its insanity.
  • Text, Chapter 13

• You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourself and your brother totally without judgement.
  • Text, Chapter 3

• I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.
  I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise.
  I want to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace.
  I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the
  consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him.
  I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me.

  • This passage is sometimes called "the Course in miniature"

Workbook for Students

• The theoretical foundation such as the text provides is necessary as a framework to make the exercises in this workbook meaningful.
  • W-in.1:1

• I am never upset for the reason I think.
  • W-5
• There are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.
  • W-6.3:2-3

• Very few have realized what is actually entailed in picturing the past or anticipating the future. The mind is actually blank when it does this, because it is not really thinking about anything.
  • W-8.2:3-4

• These exercises are concerned with practice, not with understanding. You do not need to practice what you already understand. It would indeed be circular to aim at understanding, and assume that you already have it.
  • W-9.1:5-7

• You think that what upsets you is a frightening world, or a sad world, or a violent world, or an insane world. All these attributes are given it by you. The world is meaningless in itself.
