This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. only the time that you decide to take it is voluntary. Having free will does not mean that you can set the curriculum yourself. It only means that you can choose what you want to learn at any given time.
This course is not intended to teach the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It tries, however, to clear the obstacles that prevent experiencing the presence of love, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but that which is all-encompassing cannot have opposites. This course can therefore be summed up very simply as follows: Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. In this lies the peace of God.
