False projection and true projection - editing changes

In the Original Edition of A Course In Miracles Chapter 2, Jesus makes a clear distinction between false projection and true projection.

"My use of projection, which can also be yours, is not based on faulty denial. It does involve, however, the very powerful use of the denial of errors. The miracle worker is one who accepts my kind of denial and projection, unites his own inherent abilities to deny and project with mine, and imposes them back on himself and others. This establishes the total lack of threat anywhere. Together we can then work for the real time of peace, which is eternal."

This passage, along with the entire concept of true and false projection, was edited out of the FIP edition.

It was re-introduced and preserved, however, in Lesson 30.

"Today we are trying to use a new kind of “projection.” We are not attempting to get rid of what we do not like by seeing it outside. ³Instead, we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we want to recognize is there. ⁴Thus, we are trying to join with what we see, rather than keeping it apart from us. That is the fundamental difference between vision and the way you see."
