A Course in Miracles Topic - Need
The wholeness of God's creations have no needs, but within the dream, seeing clearly what is, and what is not, necessary leads towards awakening.
A
sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need
correct.
This sense of separation would never have arisen if you had not
distorted your perception of truth, and had thus perceived yourself
as lacking. The idea of order of needs arose because, having made
this fundamental error, you had already fragmented yourself into
levels with different needs. T-1.VI.2.
Appetites are "getting" mechanisms, representing the ego's need to confirm itself. T-4.II.7:5.
When you make something to fill a perceived lack,
you are tacitly implying that you believe in separation. T-3.V.2:4.
The ego can accept the idea
that return is necessary because . ... you can make
the idea of return both necessary and difficult. Yet it is surely
clear that the perfect need nothing, and you cannot experience
perfection as a difficult accomplishment, because that is what you
are. T-6.II.11:1-4.
Your Self does not need
salvation, but your mind needs to learn what salvation is. T-11.IV.1:3.
You will be told all you need to know. T-1.I.4:3.
