Teachings Drawn from This Section
-
Will of God. God’s Will is immutable—not as rigidity but as reliability. Love doesn’t have moods, doesn’t bargain or punish. Against that steadiness the ego’s volatility becomes obvious. The ego wants a god who can be managed through appeasement; the Course refuses that entire framework.
