A Course in Miracles

Manual For Teachers

What are the Levels of Teaching?

The teachers of God have no set teaching level. Each teaching-learning situation involves a different relationship at the beginning, although the ultimate goal is always the same...

to make of the relationship a holy relationship in which both can look upon the Son of God as sinless.

There is no one from whom a teacher of God cannot learn, so there is no one whom he cannot teach. However, from a practical point of view, he cannot meet everyone, nor can everyone find him.

Therefore, the plan includes very specific contacts to be made for each teacher of God.

There are no accidents in salvation. Those who are to meet will meet because together they have the potential for a holy relationship.

They are ready for each other.

From the ACIM Urtext (Miracle Principle #30):

One of the major problems with miracle workers is that they are so sure that what they are doing is right, because they know it stems from love, that they do not pause to let Me establish my limits.

While what he (Edgar Cayce) did came from Me, he could not be induced to ask me each time whether I wanted him to perform this particular miracle. If he had, he would not have performed any miracles that could not get thru constructively, and would thus have saved himself unnecessary strain.

He (Edgar Cayce) burned himself out with indiscriminate miracles, and to this extent did not fulfill his own full purpose…

The Disciples were also prone to this.

The answer is never perform a miracle without asking me if you should. This spares you from exhaustion…

Because miracles are expressions of love, it does not follow that they will always be effective.

I am the only one who can perform miracles indiscriminately, because I AM the Atonement.

You have a role in Atonement, which I will dictate to you...

Under Christ-control, Miracles replenish the doer as well as the receiver.

Every special relationship which you have ever undertaken has, as its fundamental purpose, the aim of occupying your minds so completely that you will not hear the call of truth. Chap 17 Perception & Two Worlds

We once said that the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does in your special relationship. He does not destroy it, nor snatch it away from you. Your special relationship will remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. Chap 18 Basis of the Dream
