Einstein's Final Equation


ACIM-short

For this to write down on the board, Einstein had to come back. To say, "God doesn't roll dice..." does not imply this idea that there is no world. Yet now is the time for us to hear and accept the idea of true freedom and who we are in truth. God does roll dice, but there are no spots on His dice. That leaves all judgment to His Son which is YOU, His only Son. God only gives. God only creates, extends outward and through You.

Caught in this dream of separation and death you are now - devastated by your need for revenge and attack upon yourself, and finally bored with the same old story over and over again - at the point of awakening to a new dream of forgiveness and healing. For this you need and have available a mind training called A Course In Miracles, to train your mind to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world.

You do not have to accept or even welcome the ideas the workbook of A Course In Miracles presents. In your application of its ideas as they are given, with no reservation as to what they can be applied, you experience a new perspective, a new frequency and harmony of mind that allows you to undergo a very real transformation of your self-identity that is not only mental, but also emotional and physical. This now is YOUR resurrection. It is your inclusion of yourself with what was always, is and always will be true.

It is truly a miracle to have this mind training available. It teaches you the curriculum that - finally - is not yours to choose. Accepting it provides you with the fundamentals of the act of forgiveness. Learning to forgive lets you easily stay free from the ravages of your conceptual fearful limited mind construct.

Remember, you are already perfect. All that is necessary is that the blocks to your awareness of the presence of love, which is what you are, which is your natural inheritance, are removed and undone. That is all. It is very simple. It is always only you in your own way, you being your own obstacle. One problem, one solution. There is no one else doing to you what you seem to go through. There is only you.

That is salvation's only secret.

Here are two beautiful prayers - lessons 243 and 244 - from the workbook of A Course in Miracles helping you to acquire a new perception:

"Today I will judge nothing that occurs."

"I will be honest with myself today. I will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from bits of my perception, which are all that I can see. Today I recognize that this is so. And so I am relieved of judgments that I cannot make. Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as God created us.

Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of us as one."

"Relieved of judgments that I cannot make..." Judge not that you may be free...


"I am in danger nowhere in the world."

"Your Son is safe wherever he may be, for You are there with him. He need but call upon Your Name, and he will recollect his safety and Your Love, for they are one. How can he fear or doubt or fail to know he cannot suffer, be endangered, or experience unhappiness, when he belongs to You, beloved and loving, in the safety of Your Fatherly embrace?

And there we are in truth. No storms can come into the hallowed haven of our home. In God we are secure. For what can come to threaten God Himself, or make afraid what will forever be a part of Him?"
No storms can threaten him who as accepted the love of God. And peace of mind is the only experience then, revealing to you who you really are.

You will experience the peace of God simply by desiring to do so. Start with the mind training of A Course In Miracles.

God is but Love, and therefore so are you.

I Am under no Laws but God's
Workbook Lesson 76, one of the most challenging lessons in A Course In Miracles: I Am under no Laws but God's.

We have observed before how many senseless things have seemed to you to be salvation. Each has imprisoned you with laws as senseless as itself. You are not bound by them. Yet to understand that this is so, you must first realize salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it in things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no sense. Thus do you seek to prove salvation is where it is not.

Today we will be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you would forever seek salvation where it is not, and never find it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be found. Look nowhere else, for it is nowhere else.

Think of the freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by all the strange and twisted laws you have set up to save you. You really think that you would starve unless you have stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal discs. You really think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle will ward off disease and death. You really think you are alone unless another body is with you.

It is insanity that thinks these things. You call them laws, and put them under different names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no purpose. You think you must obey the "laws" of medicine, of economics and of health. Protect the body, and you will be saved.

These are not laws, but madness. The body is endangered by the mind that hurts itself. The body suffers just in order that the mind will fail to see it is the victim of itself. The body's suffering is a mask the mind holds up to hide what really suffers. It would not understand it is its own enemy; that it attacks itself and wants to die. It is from this your "laws" would save the body. It is for this you think you are a body.

There are no laws except the laws of God. This needs repeating, over and over, until you realize it applies to everything that you have made in opposition to God's Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is meant to save does not exist. Only what it is meant to hide will save you.

The laws of God can never be replaced. We will devote today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no longer a truth that we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth that keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of God make free. The light has come because there are no laws but His.

We will begin the longer practice periods today with a short review of the different kinds of "laws" we have believed we must obey. These would include, for example, the "laws" of nutrition, of immunization, of medication, and of the body's protection in innumerable ways. Think further; you believe in the "laws" of friendship, of "good" relationships and reciprocity. Perhaps you even think that there are laws which set forth what is God's and what is yours. Many "religions" have been based on this. They would not save but damn in Heaven's name. Yet they are no more strange than other "laws" you hold must be obeyed to make you safe.

There are no laws but God's. Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs today, and hold your mind in silent readiness to hear the Voice That speaks the truth to you. You will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the laws of God. Payment is neither given nor received. Exchange cannot be made; there are no substitutes; and nothing is replaced by something else. God's laws forever give and never take.

Hear Him Who tells you this, and realize how foolish are the "laws" you thought upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more. About the Love your Father has for you. About the endless joy He offers you. About His yearning for His only Son, created as His channel for creation; denied to Him by his belief in hell.

Let us today open God's channels to Him, and let His Will extend through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat today's idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws but God's. Then we will tell ourselves, as a dedication with which the practice period concludes:

I am under no laws but God's.

We will repeat this dedication as often as possible today; at least four or five times an hour, as well as in response to any temptation to experience ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the day. It is our statement of freedom from all danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that God is our Father, and that His Son is saved.
