Demonstrating the manner and method of

Although you are one Self, you experience yourself as two; as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant conflict, and leads to frantic attempts to reconcile the contradictory aspects of this self-perception. You have sought many such solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you will never be compatible. But one exists.
The fact that truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what means you use and where you see the problem, must be accepted if you would be saved. Until you have accepted this, you will attempt an endless list of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one before, and failing as the next one surely will.
Broadcasting in total the unity and singleness
of purpose of the universe.
ABOUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
The idea of “Unconditional Love” is not really very valuable because your whole method of thinking is conditional. Strange as it may seem, nothing is more conditional than the admonition that you must “Love Unconditionally”. Students practicing Course in Miracles inevitably become highly conditional in their “Unconditional Love” attempts. The eternal paradox rears its head as perforce it must. It is the false certainty of objective consciousness that unconditionally is itself a condition. This is inevitably true since the idea of conditions is all that objective consciousness is. Objective consciousness’ idea about subjectivity (unconditionality) is exactly the opposite of what it is.
