This came up on the panel, now unfolding, on New Age distortions, during the Aquarian High Council summit. Registration is free. The panel just began.
From A Course in Miracles, The Illusion and the Reality of Love
There are no triumphs of love. Only hate is at all concerned with the "triumph of love." The illusion of love can triumph over the illusion of hate, but always at the price of making both illusions. As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long will love be an illusion to you. And then the only choice remaining possible is which illusion you prefer. There is no conflict in the choice between truth and illusion. Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the instant the choice seems to be one between illusions, but this choice does not matter. Where one choice is as dangerous as the other, the decision must be one of despair.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false. Every illusion is one of fear, whatever form it takes. And the attempt to escape from one illusion into another must fail. If you seek love outside yourself you can be certain that you perceive hatred within, and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality.
👍 So the peril is the cleaved mind and our Tendency to see things as opposites. I tried to have a conversation recently along the lines of the Biblical story of Adam and Eve being a parable about the dangers of dualistic mindsets, rather than a literal story about man versus woman. The conversation went nowhere... of course...
