A Course in Miracles – Clarification of Terms – 1. Mind – Spirit

Note: This graphic is my way of try to graphically understand A Course in Miracles clarification of terms: Mind – Spirit. While our ‘understanding’ is not required for the course to be effective, our logical minds are anxious without some tangible hierarchy to follow. The following two paragraphs are direct quotes with a reference to the source at the ‘acourseinmiraclesnow.com’ website.

C-1.1. The term mind is used to represent the activating agent of spirit, supplying its creative energy. 2 When the term is capitalized it refers to God or Christ (i.e., the Mind of God or the Mind of Christ). 3 Spirit is the Thought of God which He created like Himself. 4 The unified spirit is God’s one Son, or Christ.

C-1.2. In this world, because the mind is split, the Sons of God appear to be separate. 2 Nor do their minds seem to be joined. 3 In this illusory state, the concept of an “individual mind” seems to be meaningful. 4 It is therefore described in the course as if it has two parts; spirit and ego.
