Primary

Healing ▲ Milestone Healing follows laws: deny separation, accept no hierarchy, reunite cause and effect. Cause and Effect ▲ Milestone Healing joins cause and consequence, returning sickness to the mind. Miracle Miracles recognize what is already true when your will aligns with God’s. Forgiveness Let truth be true: forgiveness removes barriers and cancels attack’s effects.

Pillar

Sin / Error Place sin belief where it is—mind—and healing reverses projection’s laws. Illusions All shadows are equally false; purpose can turn any form to healing. Oneness Healing follows the law that blessing never remains private. Perception—Knowledge Healing reverses perception’s laws; truth is known beyond changing forms. Will of God Healing follows one Will that gives: conflict is only perception.

Supporting

Salvation A little wish for truth invites full salvation, shared and complete. Sinlessness Because there is no sin, every miracle is possible now. Guilt Trying to prove innocence while cherishing attack keeps guilt and seeks punishment. Joining Forgiveness joins what private wishes tried to keep apart. Projection Sin rests on the belief you can project attack beyond your mind. Separation Sickness reflects wishing to stay apart by putting sin between brothers. Form—Content Changing effects alone only moves the problem to another form. Sacrifice Even tiny sacrifice trades wholeness for a private treasure and fear. Sonship Healing follows one law: what saves one saves all, equally.

Minor

Attack The world hides attack under “innocence”; forgiveness removes its effects. Creation / Extension Ideas add to abundance because creation knows no loss. Death / Suffering Each instant offers life; the wish to hurt chooses death instead. Decision Each instant chooses life or death; forgiveness is the little wish. Changelessness Healing recognizes unchanged truth, not shifting symptoms or timelines. Giving / Receiving Salvation is one action: what you hold must be offered and received together. Sickness One answer fits every form: separation makes sickness, sanity undoes it. Willingness Let truth be true; little willingness overlooks what isn’t there. Crucifixion and Resurrection Attack chooses crucifixion; forgiveness brings rebirth in the instant. Defenses Healing begins when error is corrected, not protected from reason. Fear of God Healing denies the split‑Will picture that makes Love vengeful. Memory of God Healing remembers an ancient Name shared by brother and God. Peace Be the means of peace for your brother; unity fulfills wishes without conflict. Punishment Guilt asks for punishment, then projects it as God’s vengeance.

Echo

Body Separate bodies mirror the wish for separate spaces in time and place. Kingdom The Kingdom was created united; healing rests on remembering oneness. Specialness Unity leaves no room for specialness: what is one cannot compete. Time Healing answers from eternity while working within time and place.
