My body disappeared because I had no illusion about it. The last one had gone. It was laid in the tomb, but there was nothing left to bury. It did not disintegrate because the unreal cannot die. It merely became what it always was. And that is what “rolling the stone away” means. The body disappears, and no longer hides what lies beyond. It merely ceases to interfere with vision. To roll the stone away is to see beyond the tomb, beyond death, and to understand the body’s nothingness. What is understood as nothing must disappear.

I did assume a human form with human attributes afterwards, to speak to those who were to prove the body’s worthlessness to the world. This has been much misunderstood. I came to tell them that death is illusion, and the mind that made the body can make another since form itself is an illusion. They did not understand. But now I talk to you and give you the same message. The death of an illusion means nothing. It disappears when you awaken and decide to dream no more. And you still do have the power to make this decision as I did.

God holds out His hand to His Son to help him rise and return to Him. I can help because the world is illusion, and I have overcome the world. Look past the tomb, the body, the illusion. Have faith in nothing but the spirit and the guidance God gives you. He could not have created the body because it is a limit. He must have created the spirit because it is immortal. Can those who are created like Him be limited? The body is the symbol of the world. Leave it behind. It cannot enter Heaven. But I can take you there any time that you choose. Together we can watch the world disappear and its symbol vanish as it does so. And then, and then — I cannot speak of that.

A body can not stay without illusion and the last one to be overcome is death. This is the message of the crucifixion; There is no order of difficulties in miracles. This is the message of the resurrection: Illusions are illusions. Truth is true. Illusions vanish. Only truth remains.

These lessons needed to be taught but once, for when the stone of death is rolled away, what can be seen but an empty tomb? And that is what you see who follow me into the sunlight and away from death, past all illusions, on to Heaven’s gate, where God will come Himself to take you home.

-Jesus Christ
From the Original Text
of A Course In Miracles
(Urtext)

This is a truly unique and historic moment of transformation for the world. As grief, fear and anger grip the nation and indeed the world, the devastation we experience leads us to question if there can ever be a solution to our addiction to terror, war, conflict, pain, suffering and death. Every solution to date has either led to more problems or merely a change in the appearance of any problem.

“The separated ones have invented many ‘cures’ for what they believe to be the ‘ills of the world.’ But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality of the problem. Yet its effects cannot be cured because the problem is not real.” -A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles is the solution or healing of the apparent conditional situation between God and man, which is one of false separation, and to the manner in which that apparent schism is and was repaired. Its sole purpose is to bring enlightenment through the transformation of your mind. The Course teaches, “My thoughts are images I have made.” Everything is only your idea of it. Total responsibility for what one perceives permits one to change in an instant, perception in its entirety. This necessitates a transformation that is the mind-training program of A Course in Miracles for “an untrained mind can accomplish nothing.” To change your mind IS to change the world for “the world you see is of your own making and does not exist!”

Every great quantum discovery points to it. Neils Bohr tells me that the “fuzzy and nebulous world of the atom only sharpens into concrete reality when an observation is made”. From Einstein’s theory of relativity where time is relative to the observer, to Wheeler’s self-observing universe, it is clear that the world I see is a product of my own mind. No one argues the fact of it….that is, not until it comes to their own personal experience. What if I am totally responsible for the world I see?!

“There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change accordingly. And if it is indeed your own imagining, then you can loose it from all things you ever thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts that gave it these appearances. The sick are healed as you let go all thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let thoughts of life replace all thoughts you ever held of death.”
–A Course in Miracles
