The Ideas of A Course in Miracles contain hidden energy. These ideas reach the most hidden recesses of the inner altar of a belief system based on the past, and once they have touched that inner state leave an everlasting trace.
Once touched by the truth as an experience of self-discovery a new world is born
The Idea of Trust
This is the foundation on which their ability to fulfill their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated.
The teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up. It is governed by a Power That is in them but not of them. It is this Power That keeps all things safe. It is through this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world.
When this Power has once been experienced, it is impossible to trust one's own petty strength again.
Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him? And who would place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God are laid before him? What is it that induces them to make the shift?
