Need - Words used in A Course in Miracles


The wholeness of God's creations has no needs, but within the dream, seeing clearly what is, and what is not, necessary leads towards awakening. 
A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need correct. This sense of separation would never have arisen if you had not distorted your perception of truth, and had thus perceived yourself as lacking. The idea of order of needs arose because, having made this fundamental error, you had already fragmented yourself into levels with different needs. T-1.VI.2.

Appetites are "getting" mechanisms, representing the ego's need to confirm itself. T-4.II.7:5.

When you make something to fill a perceived lack, you are tacitly implying that you believe in separation. T-3.V.2:4.
The ego can accept the idea that return is necessary because . ... you can make the idea of return both necessary and difficult. Yet it is surely clear that the perfect need nothing, and you cannot experience perfection as a difficult accomplishment, because that is what you are. T-6.II.11:1-4.

Your Self does not need salvation, but your mind needs to learn what salvation is. T-11.IV.1:3.

You will be told all you need to know. T-1.I.4:3.
