One Mind

One mind: 

ideas are of the mind, and the mind is all encompassing in its reach. There is nothing outside of this. That's the clear metaphysics of A Course in Miracles and it addresses both the nature of our problem as well as the immediacy of its solution. 

ideas leave not their source.

the problem is our ideas about the world, believing that we have somehow separated from the very source of creation, and that are adrift within an impersonal universe that doesn't care for our well-being. There is also immense guilt that we have caused our own downfall, having been removed from the metaphorical garden for the sin of seeking knowledge. We, our one mind, individually and collectively project this mis-belief outwards in the world's creation, with no idea leaving its source, and so we're now entrapped in a seemingly hopeless situation. 

and yet, 

ideas leave not their source.

and the original idea is of our innocence, existing still in the mind of God even at this very moment. So the solution of our miscreation is in simply remembering where we truly are right now - one mind, existing already and always within the reality of heaven. This isn't metaphorical, although the language is poetically descriptive - heaven is here, God is the One Mind of reality,

and we have never left the Source. 

with this...

our ideas turn only to awakening.
