Quote from A Course in Miracles Text Chapter 2 - THE SEPARATION AND THE ATONEMENT.

T-2.I.3. The Garden of Eden, or the pre-separation condition, was a state of mind in which nothing was needed. 2 When Adam listened to the "lies of the serpent,"all he heard was untruth. 3 You do not have to continue to believe what is not true unless you choose to do so. 4 All that can literally disappear in the twinkling of an eye because it is merely a misperception. 5 What is seen in dreams seems to be very real. 6 Yet the Bible says that a deep sleep fell upon Adam, and nowhere is there reference to his waking up. 7 The world has not yet experienced any comprehensive reawakening or rebirth. 8 Such a rebirth is impossible as long as you continue to project or miscreate. 9 It still remains within you, however, to extend as God extended His Spirit to you. 10 In reality this is your only choice, because your free will was given you for your joy in creating the perfect.
