T-1.1.0 Principles of Miracles
Please do not take these notes as my attempt at teaching you the Course, look at it rather as (hopefully!) the Holy Spirit's answers to my own struggles with the book...
T-1.1.1 There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not "harder" or "bigger" than another.
ACIM begins by stating some of it's concepts that are most difficult to grasp and so they will remain unknown to you for quite awhile. Don't push it, don't try to squeeze the meaning from it but allow it to surprise you and to reveal itself for you instead...

T-1.1.7 Miracles are everyone's right, but purification is necessary first.

T-1.1.20 Miracles reawaken the awareness that the spirit, not the body, is the altar of truth.
How many times you thought a heavy bank account will make you happy? How many times you thought the same about careers, romantic lovers, fame or children and villa on a sheer...

T-1.1.26 Miracles represent freedom from fear. "Atoning" means "undoing." The undoing of fear is an essential part of the atonement value of miracles.
This is a very crucial topic. Fear stands among the leaders of bad decisions' motivators so when you'll grasp the depth of meaning for this subject your life will never be the same...
T-1.1.27 A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive.
