ACIM references: Reason and the Forms of Error (ACIM, T-22.III)
“See how the body’s eyes rest on externals and cannot go beyond. ⁶Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the form to meaning. ⁷Nothing so blinding as perception (interpretation) of form. ⁸For sight of form means understanding has been obscured.” (ACIM, T-22.III.6:5-8)
“If the crucifixion is seen from an upside-down point of view, it does appear as if God permitted and even encouraged one of His Sons to suffer because he was good. ⁶This particularly unfortunate interpretation, which arose out of projection, has led many people to be bitterly afraid of God.” (ACIM, T-3.I.1:5-6)
“All your difficulties stem from the fact that you do not recognize yourself, your brother or God. ²To recognize means to “know again,” implying that you knew before. ³You can see in many ways because perception involves interpretation, and this means that it is not whole or consistent. ⁴The miracle, being a way of perceiving, is not knowledge. ⁵It is the right answer to a question, but you do not question when you know. ⁶Questioning illusions is the first step in undoing them. ⁷The miracle, or the right answer, corrects them. ⁸Since perceptions change, their dependence on time is obvious. ⁹How you perceive at any given time determines what you do, and actions must occur in time. ¹⁰Knowledge is timeless, because certainty is not questionable. ¹¹You know when you have ceased to ask questions.” (ACIM, T-3.III.2:1-11)
“The ability to perceive made the body possible, because you must perceive something and with something. ²That is why perception involves an exchange or translation, which knowledge does not need. ³The interpretative function of perception, a distorted form of creation, then permits you to interpret the body as yourself in an attempt to escape from the conflict you have induced. ⁴Spirit, which knows, could not be reconciled with this loss of power, because it is incapable of darkness. ⁵This makes spirit almost inaccessible to the mind and entirely inaccessible to the body. ⁶Thereafter, spirit is perceived as a threat, because light abolishes darkness merely by showing you it is not there. ⁷Truth will always overcome error in this way. ⁸This cannot be an active process of correction because, as I have already emphasized, knowledge does not do anything. ⁹It can be perceived as an attacker, but it cannot attack. ¹⁰What you perceive as its attack is your own vague recognition that knowledge can always be remembered, never having been destroyed.” (ACIM, T-3.IV.6:1-10)
