A Course in Miracles Quotes:

A Course in Miracle T-28.IV.1.Accepting the Atonement for yourself means not to give support to someone's dream of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his wish to separate, and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned, instead, on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you and your brother both become illusions, and without identity. You could be anyone or anything, depending on whose evil dream you share. You can be sure of just one thing; that you are evil, for you share in dreams of fear.

 

A Course in Miracles W-pII.284.1.

I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.

Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. This is the truth, at first to be but said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words today, and past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in them.

With anger gone, you will indeed perceive that, for Christ's vision and the gift of sight, no sacrifice was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick and tortured mind. Is this unwelcome? Is it to be feared? Or is it to be hoped for, met with thanks and joyously accepted? We are one, and therefore give up nothing. But we have indeed been given everything by God.

W-pI.192.6.

 

"I rest in God." Completely undismayed, this thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no suffering it cannot heal. There is no problem that it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God.

W-pI.109.3.

 

In Him you have no cares and no concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no fear of future and no past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while time goes by without its touch upon you, for your rest can never change in any way at all. You rest today. And as you close your eyes, sink into stillness. Let these periods of rest and respite reassure your mind that all its frantic fantasies were but the dreams of fever that has passed away. Let it be still and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams will come, now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from dreams and into peace.

W-pI.109.5.

 

 

Life Purpose: Following
The time for the pain is over! I haven't the need for the pain. Not since I've known you (Spirit) You showed me how, how to leave myself behind. How to turn down the noise in my mind. 'Til you showed me how. How to fill my heart with love. How to open up and drink In all that white light Pouring down from the heaven

Another song of gratitude to sing to Spirit!

The time for the pain is over!

No more focusing on pain! Time to turn to the light and let love take the place we saved for pain. This song is another way of saying “no” to the  ego and “yes” to the Spirit. Following Spirit there is no pain!

Lyrics:

All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep .
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
'Cause I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind

Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you
I haven't got time for the pain (the pain)
I haven't got room for the pain (the pain)
I haven't the need for the pain

Suffering was the only thing
That made me feel I was alive
Thought that's just how much it cost
To survive in this world
'Til you showed me how,
How to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink
In all that white light
Pouring down from the heaven

Haven't got time for the pain (the pain)
I haven't got room for the pain (the pain)
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room or the need for the pain
No I haven't the need for the pain
No, I haven't got time

No I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain No, No, No
I haven't got need for the pain No, No, No
I haven't got time for the pain

I haven't got room for the pain
The time for the pain is over
