From the Course Handbook:

"To stay with one simple instruction in a sustained way is a challenge in and of itself. The mind is so addicted to believing that by collecting more and more information you will attain some advantage. However, in matters of the spirit less is often more. With this in mind, let me give you a simple instruction . . . "

"Experiment with different ways of framing the question regarding what awakens 'true action' within you. Over time your being will form a new energetic imprint of where to act and relate from, and the old operating system will have its programming upgraded to correspond with your current perception."

"Spirituality is full of people trying to act enlightened as a way to become enlightened, and by and large the results are dismal. Better to throw yourself open to the unknown, question all of your hidden assumptions, and be truly open to something beyond what the ego can fake or even know."

"While it is good advice not to grasp at moments of realization or awakening (for this makes them seem to be separate from you), it is also important to acknowledge the new perspective that reveals itself. Rest as the witness, as awareness itself, without grasping at it."
