¹⁰Concerns about the body demonstrate how frail and vulnerable is your life; how easily destroyed is what you love. ¹¹Depression speaks of death, and vanity of real concern with anything at all. (ACIM, T-27.I.6:10-11)
3. When you are sad, know this need not be. ²Depression comes from a sense of being deprived of something you want and do not have. ³Remember that you are deprived of nothing except by your own decisions, and then decide otherwise. (ACIM, T-4.IV.3:1-3)
⁶When you equate yourself with a body you will always experience depression. ⁷When a child of God thinks of himself in this way he is belittling himself, and seeing his brothers as similarly belittled. ⁸Since he can find himself only in them, he has cut himself off from salvation. (ACIM, T-8.VII.1:6-8)
³Depression means that you have forsworn God. ⁴Many are afraid of blasphemy, but they do not understand what it means. ⁵They do not realize that to deny God is to deny their own Identity, and in this sense the wages of sin is death. ⁶The sense is very literal; denial of life perceives its opposite, as all forms of denial replace what is with what is not. ⁷No one can really do this, but that you can think you can and believe you have is beyond dispute. (ACIM, T-10.V.1:3-7)
²Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. ³So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering and intense fear of loss. (ACIM, W-41.1:2-3)
8. There is nothing so frustrating to a learner as a curriculum he cannot learn. ²His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must become depressed. ³Being faced with an impossible learning situation is the most depressing thing in the world. ⁴In fact, it is ultimately why the world itself is depressing. ⁵The Holy Spirit’s curriculum is never depressing, because it is a curriculum of joy. ⁶Whenever the reaction to learning is depression, it is because the true goal of the curriculum has been lost sight of. (ACIM, T-8.VII.8:1-6)
when you are tempted to judge read this vip. judging causes depression. 5. When you feel tired, it is because you have judged yourself as capable of being tired. ²When you laugh at someone, it is because you have judged him as unworthy. ³When you laugh at yourself you must laugh at others, if only because you cannot tolerate the idea of being more unworthy than they are. ⁴All this makes you feel tired because it is essentially disheartening. ⁵You are not really capable of being tired, but you are very capable of wearying yourself. ⁶The strain of constant judgment is virtually intolerable. ⁷It is curious that an ability so debilitating would be so deeply cherished. ⁸Yet if you wish to be the author of reality, you will insist on holding on to judgment. ⁹You will also regard judgment with fear, believing that it will someday be used against you. ¹⁰This belief can exist only to the extent that you believe in the efficacy of judgment as a weapon of defense for your own authority. (ACIM, T-3.VI.5:1-10)
Chapter 3.VI: Judgment and the Authority Problem | ACIM
In light, you see it as your special function in the plan to save the Son of God from all attack, and let him understand that he is safe, as he has always been, and will remain in time and in eternity alike. ⁸This is the function given you for your brother. ⁹Take it gently, then, from your brother’s hand, and let salvation be perfectly fulfilled in you. ¹⁰Do this one thing, that everything be given you. (ACIM, T-25.VI.7:7-10) rumble.com/v2sxdr6-three-little-birds-bob-marley-1-hour..html
8. What purpose has an idol, then? ²What is it for? ³This is the only question that has many answers, each depending on the one of whom the question has been asked. ⁴The world believes in idols. ⁵No one comes unless he worshipped them, and still attempts to seek for one that yet might offer him a gift reality does not contain. ⁶Each worshipper of idols harbors hope his special deities will give him more than other men possess. ⁷It must be more. ⁸It does not really matter more of what; more beauty, more intelligence, more wealth, or even more affliction and more pain. ⁹But more of something is an idol for. ¹⁰And when one fails another takes its place, with hope of finding more of something else. ¹¹Be not deceived by forms the “something” takes. ¹²An idol is a means for getting more. ¹³And it is this that is against God’s Will.
9. God has not many Sons, but only One. ²Who can have more, and who be given less? ³In Heaven would the Son of God but laugh, if idols could intrude upon his peace.
⁷God gave you all there is. ⁸And to be sure you could not lose it, did He also give the same to every living thing as well. ⁹And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of Himself. ¹⁰No idol can establish you as more than God. ¹¹But you will never be content with being less. (ACIM, T-29.VIII.9:7-11) 9. Whenever you feel fear in any form,—and you are fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you,—be sure you made an idol, and believe it will betray you. ²For beneath your hope that it will save you lie the guilt and pain of self-betrayal and uncertainty, so deep and bitter that the dream cannot conceal completely all your sense of doom. ³Your self-betrayal must result in fear, for fear is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for idols and for death. (ACIM, T-29.IX.9:1-3)
⁵No one is strong who has an enemy, and no one can attack unless he thinks he has. ⁶Belief in enemies is therefore the belief in weakness. Jesus in Acim.

The “you” who is the observer in the mind is not the body who is sitting at this table. The body who is sitting at this table is like a puppet who is re-experiencing what is chosen by the puppeteer. But you think the real “you” is the body sitting at the table.
The body was made to keep the awareness of Oneness away. That is why, relatively speaking, there are only a few passages in this course that speak of Oneness. Because how can you describe what is beyond all words?
