acim "T-6.V.A.1. When your body and your_ego and your dreams_are_gone, you will know that you will last forever. 2 Perhaps you think this is accomplished through death, but nothing_is_accomplished_through_death, because death is nothing. 3 Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind. 4 The body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life. 5 If we_share_the_same_mind, you can overcome death because I did. 6 Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not deciding at all. 7 Like any other impossible solution the ego attempts, it will not work . T-6.V.A.2. God did not make the body, because it is destructible, and therefore not of the Kingdom. 2 The body is the symbol of what you think you are. 3 It is clearly a separation_device, and therefore does_not_exist. 4 The Holy_Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and translates it into a learning_device. 5 Again as always, He reinterprets what the ego uses as an argument for separation into a demonstration against it. 6 If the mind_can_heal_the_body, but the body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be stronger than the body. 7 Every miracle demonstrates this. T-6.V.A.3. I have said that the Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracles. 2 He always tells you that only the mind is real, because only the mind can be shared. 3 The body is separate, and therefore cannot be part of you. 4 To be of one_mind is meaningful, but to be one body is meaningless. 5 By the laws of mind, then, the body is meaningless. T-6.V.A.4. To the Holy Spirit, there_is_no_order_of_difficulty_in_miracles. 2 This is familiar enough to you by now, but it has not_yet_become_believable. 3 Therefore, you do not understand it and cannot use it. 4 We have too much to accomplish on behalf of the Kingdom to let this crucial concept slip away. 5 It is a real foundation stone of the thought system I teach and want you to teach. 6 You cannot perform miracles without believing it, because it is a belief in perfect equality. 7 Only one equal gift can be offered to the equal Sons_of_God, and that is full appreciation. 8 Nothing_more_and_nothing_less. 9 Without a range, order of difficulty is meaningless, and there must be no range in what you offer to your brother. T-6.V.A.5. The Holy Spirit, Who leads to God, translates communication into being, just as He ultimately translates perception_into_knowledge. 2 You do not lose what you communicate. 3 The ego uses the body for attack_for_pleasure_and_for_pride. 4 The insanity of this perception makes it a fearful one indeed. 5 The Holy Spirit sees the body only as a means of communication, and because communicating is sharing it becomes communion. 6 Perhaps you think that fear as well as love can be communicated; and therefore can be shared. 7 Yet this is not so real as it may appear. 8 Those who communicate fear are promoting attack, and attack_always_breaks_communication, making it impossible. 9 Egos do join together in temporary_allegiance, but always for what each one can get separately . 10 The Holy Spirit communicates only what each one can give to all. 11 He never takes anything back, because He wants you to keep it. 12 Therefore, His teaching begins with the lesson: 13 To have, give all to all. T-6.V.A.6. This is a very preliminary step, and the only one you must take for yourself. 2 It is not even necessary that you complete the step yourself, but it is necessary that you turn in that direction. 3 Having chosen to go that way, you place yourself in charge of the journey, where you and only you must remain. 4 This step may appear to exacerbate conflict rather than resolve it, because it is the beginning step in reversing your perception and turning it right_side_up. 5 This conflicts with the upside_down_perception you have not yet abandoned, or the change in direction would not have been necessary. 6 Some remain a_t_hi_s_tep for a long time, experiencing very acute conflict. 7 At_this_point they may try to accept the conflict, rather than take the next step towards its resolution. 8 Having taken the first step, however, they_will_be_helped. 9 Once they have chosen what they cannot complete alone, they are no_longer_alone."
