A Course in Miracles Topic - Specialness




      Everything God created is like itself - there are no differences - everyone has everything equally.
     Recognize your Self in your brother/sister, and see them as God sees them - with Love.
You are not special. If you think you are, and would defend your specialness against the truth of what you really are, how can you know the truth?     T-24.II.4:1,2.
Only the special could have enemies, for they are different and not the same. And difference of any kind imposes orders of reality, and a need to judge that cannot be escaped. What God created cannot be attacked, for there is nothing in the universe unlike itself. But what is different calls for judgment, and this must come from someone "better," someone incapable of being like what he condemns, "above" it, sinless by comparison with it. And thus does specialness become a means and end at once. For specialness not only sets apart, but serves as grounds from which attack on those who seem "beneath" the special one is "natural" and "just." The special ones feel weak and frail because of differences, for what would make them special is their enemy.         T-24.I.3:5,6/4:1-5.
Your brother's specialness and yours are enemies, and bound in hate to kill each other and deny they are the same. …   Here is your savior from your specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of himself as part of you, as you for his. You are alike to God as God is to Himself.     T-24.II.9:3/10:1-3.
