Nothingness - Words used in A Course in Miracles
As
nothingness cannot be pictured, so there is no symbol for totality.
Reality is ultimately known without a form, unpictured and unseen. T-27.III.5:1,2.
Symbols
which but represent ideas that cannot be must stand for empty space
and nothingness. Yet nothingness and empty space can not be
interference. What can interfere with the awareness of reality is the
belief that there is something there. T-27.III.2:6-8
That
is why the conflict cannot ultimately be resolved until all the parts
of the Sonship have returned. Only then can the meaning of wholeness
in the true sense be understood. Any part of the Sonship can believe
in error or incompleteness if he so chooses. However, if he does so,
he is believing in the existence of nothingness. T-2.VII.6:5-8.
Specialness
is the idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible even to imagine
without this base. For sin arose from it, out of nothingness; an evil
flower with no roots at all. T-24.II.3:1-3.
The
body that is asked to be a god will be attacked, because its
nothingness has not been recognized. And so it seems to be a thing
with power in itself. As something, it can be perceived and thought
to feel and act, and hold you in its grasp as prisoner to itself. ...
And you will hate it for its littleness, unmindful that the failure
does not lie in that it is not more than it should be, but only in
your failure to perceive that it is nothing. Yet its nothingness is
your salvation, … . T-29.II.9:1-3,5,6.
