Hi,

I'm Teresa Hubbard.

Welcome back to our continued reading of the text to A Course in Miracles.

We begin today in Chapter 14,

Teaching for Truth,

Introduction.

To summarize my takeaways,

In the introduction to Chapter 14,

We begin putting the rubber to the road,

So to speak.

Here is where we begin putting into practice the concepts we've learned in the first 13 chapters.

We are invited to turn away from the ego's logic and to follow the simple logic of the Holy Spirit,

The ever-present voice for God that speaks for truth and only truth.

This will lead us back to peace,

Reminding us of where our power lies.

And now,

On to the reading.

A Course in Miracles,

Chapter 14,

Teaching for Truth,

Introduction Yes,

You are blessed indeed,

Yet in this world you do not know it.

But you have the means for learning it and seeing it quite clearly.

The Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the ego,

Except that the Holy Spirit's conclusions are not insane.

They take a direction exactly opposite,

Pointing as clearly to heaven as the ego points to darkness and to death.

We have followed much of the ego's logic and have seen its logical conclusions.

And having seen them,

We have realized that they cannot be seen except in illusions,

For there alone their seeming clearness seems to be clearly seen.

Let us now turn away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy Spirit teaches the simple conclusions that speak for truth and only truth.
