Introduction
This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the
time you take it is voluntary. 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.
The course does not
aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what
can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to
the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural
inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is allencompassing
can have no opposite.
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.
