"Open the temple doors and let them come from far
across the world, and near as well; your distant brothers and your
closest friends; bid them all enter here and rest with you." (A Course in Miracles workbook Lesson 109.)
"No one stays in transition indefinitely. The transition is completed in you. The question is what are you doing to bring about the resolution? What are you doing in transition in order to accelerate the completion, that is, the healing of the world altogether? That is physical resurrection. That is the mystery of you standing for an eternal instant at the birthplace of dreams." Birthplace of Dreams Ch 9
"A temple is not a structure at all. Its true holiness lies at the inner altar around which the structure is built." ACIM text Ch 2 Sect 3
"Guided by the Holy Spirit, the body becomes a means by which the part of the mind you tried to separate from spirit can reach beyond its distortions and return to spirit. The ego's temple thus becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this sense the body does become a temple to God; His Voice abides in it by directing the use to which it is put. Healing is the result of using the body solely for communication." ACIM text Ch 8 Sect 7
"Only God's Comforter can comfort you. In the quiet of His temple, He waits to give you the peace that is yours. Give His peace, that you may enter the temple and find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of God, or you will not know that you are there." ACIM text Ch 11 Sect 3
"In the temple, holiness waits quietly for the return of them that love it. The Presence knows they will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God will take them gently in, and cover all their sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's Love. There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of life." ACIM Ch 14 Sect 9
