ACIM suggests that time is a story we made up, a game we have agreed to play. An invention of the intellect, time expands or contracts according to the consciousness you hold at any given moment. It is more like rubber than concrete.
In my mind ACIM Original Edition is the absolute best version for self study, the additional material in the first eight or so chapters is worth having available.
In the language of A Course in Miracles, ego means something a little bit different than our common understanding. We think of ego as our own self-esteem or self-worth, hence the popular misinterpretation of my opening quote.
In ACIM, The person Jesus symbolizes the Love that is the essence of Jesus' teachings. Love, or God, is the moon. Jesus and his teachings are the finger. The word 'Jesus' is a symbol of his teachings.

The movie is not about the Jesus Christ of the Bible, but instead of another "Jesus" created by them. The Course in Miracles is based on the teachings of Helen Schucman and her pretended messages received by her "Jesus".
narrator Martin WeberThe narrator Martin Weber, [maz], is a longtime friend and member of CIMS Europe, a musician, and, of course, a student of A Course in Miracles.

Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result and not a cause. And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.

1.Our home is reality, Heaven, the Kingdom of God, a spiritual realm of pure oneness and boundless joy which can never be threatened. Since nothing real can be threatened, then the world is not real. Reality is formless, spaceless, timeless oneness, beyond all limitation, ...
Projection is motivated by the desire to get rid of our guilt, but its deeper motivation is the desire to make us powerless to change our beliefs. Projection produces a world that seems to have enormous power over us. Through projection, our self-imposed pain appears to come from an attacking world.
We tried to separate, motivated by a desire to elevate ourselves above our brothers and above God. The ego is the belief behind the separation; it is our core self-concept which says we are separate, autonomous beings. When we tried to separate, we seemed to shatter reality into countless separate fragments.
Extension is the dynamic of reality, in which reality timelessly extends itself and eternally increases. Reality is maximal; it is the supreme joy; it is absolute perfection. Reality is home, the longing of our hearts, the object of all our desires. 2.We tried to attack reality, to separate from it, thus making a separate identity—the ego—and ...
The special relationship is the biggest false promise of all, the one that motivates us to pursue all of the ego’s false promises. Through our normal daily activities the ego is carrying out its ancient attack on God. >All that the ego does is really designed to attack us, kill us and send us to hell.
12.We heal our perception by forgiving the world for what it did not do.
The result of sin was a massive sense of guilt, which we denied and so pushed into the unconscious. Guilt says that we deserve punishment. This belief is the source of all of our suffering. We project our belief that we deserve punishment onto God and so perceive a punitive, fearful God.
