The Truth is Simple

So simple! So Clear! No one can misinterpret unless they choose to convolute and reject the simplicity of the truth!

The Responsibility for Sight

abridged from text of ACIM

We have repeated how little is asked of you
to learn this course.
It is the same small willingness
you need
to have your whole relationship
transformed to joy;
the little gift
you offer to the Holy Spirit
for which He gives you everything;
the very little
on which salvation rests;
the tiny change of mind
by which the crucifixion is changed
to resurrection.
And being true,
it is so simple
that it cannot fail to be completely understood.
Rejected yes, but not ambiguous.
And if you choose against it now
it will not be because it is obscure,
but rather
that this little cost
seemed, in your judgment,
to be too much to pay for peace.
This is the only thing
that you need do for
vision, happiness, release from pain
and
the complete escape from sin,
all to be given you.

Say only this,
but mean it with no reservations,
for here the power of salvation lies:

I am responsible for what I see.

I choose the feelings I experience,

and

I decide upon the goal I would achieve.

And everything that seems to happen to me

I ask for,

and

receive as I have asked.

Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.

All you are asked to do is let it in; only to stop your interference
with what will happen of itself;

simply to recognize again
the presence
of what you thought
you gave away.
Be willing, for an instant,
to leave your altars free
of what you placed upon them,
and
what is really there
you cannot fail to see.
The holy instant
is not an instant of creation,
but of recognition.
For recognition
comes of vision
and
suspended judgment.
Then only it is possible
to look within
and
see what must be there,
plainly in sight,
and
wholly independent of inference and judgment.
Undoing is not your task,
but
it is up to you
to welcome it or not.

Faith and desire go hand in hand,
for everyone believes in what he wants.

It is as needful that you recognize you made the world you see, as that you recognize that you did not create yourself.

They are the same mistake.
