"I saw myself entering a cave in a rock formation on a bleak, windswept seacoast. The entrance to the cave was low, and the cave was quite deep. All I found in it was a very old and large parchment scroll. Its ends were rolled around heavy, gold-tipped poles, the two sides touching at the scroll's center and tied together by a strip of parchment that fell away as my fingers touched it. I untied the ends and opened the scroll just enough to expose the center panel, on which only two words were written; 'God is', and nothing else. …"<p>As with the subway experience several years earlier, an aspect of the cave experience likewise found its way into the Course. The workbook states: "We say 'God is', and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless" (W-pi. 169.5:4).
I am a very careless person in some ways, I lose everything. But I never lost anything of this Course. People would would stop me in the subway and say, “Miss, you forgot your something or other, and hand it back to me.” Taxis would honk their horns, you know and say, “You left something in the back seat.” My secretary would say, “Are you sure this belongs in this case report, it doesn't sound right?” It was impossible to lose this Course, and I tried. But it...followed me around in an odd kind of way. People would send it back to me, anything. And I always got it back. We never lost anything, which is incredible.
There’s nothing that I would call ordinary audition about this at all. It doesn’t really.. It’s a curious thing that will be very difficult to explain. Somebody asked me, “Was it as though your hand was moving?” No. I wrote perfectly voluntarily in response to…I call it a voice, but “a voice” has sounds...or sounds as though it has something to do with hearing. And I didn’t hear anything. I think it’s the sort of hearing that you can’t really describe. It doesn’t have anything to do with ears, or waves hitting a drum or anything on that order. I don’t really know, I think maybe I’m using the wrong word when I say “hear.” I sort of recognized it, it was very rapid, I could even....if I didn’t catch a phrase, I could sort of say, “Would you mind doing that again?”

Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation’s ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You and cherish no beliefs of what we are or who created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of Heaven now. Amen.
Tu papel consiste únicamente en recordar esto: no quieres que nada que tú consideres valioso sea lo que tiene lugar en una relación. 2 No decides hacer nada a tu manera para deteriorarlas o para crear armonía en ellas. 3 No sabes lo que es curar. 4 Todo lo que has aprendido acerca de la empatía procede del pasado. 5 Y no hay nada del pasado que desees compartir, pues no hay nada del pasado que desees conservar. 6 No te valgas de la empatía para otorgarle realidad al pasado y así perpetuarlo. 7 Hazte a un lado tranquilamente y deja que la curación se lleve a cabo por ti. 8 Mantén un solo pensamiento en la mente y no lo pierdas de vista, por muy grande que sea la tentación de juzgar cualquier situación, y de determinar tu reacción basándote en los juicios que has hecho de la misma. 9 Concentra tu mente sólo en esto: 10 No estoy solo, y no quiero imponer el pasado a mi Invitado. 11 Lo invité y Él está aquí. 12 No tengo que hacer nada, excepto no interferir.
