Tx:2.21 | imprisoned mind is not free by definition. It is possessed or held | back by itself. Its will is therefore limited and is not free to |
Tx:2.23 | inherent abilities to deny and project with mine, and imposes them | back on himself and others. This establishes the total lack of |
Tx:2.32 | state. It can thus be utilized to restore, rather than to go | back to the less mature. |
Tx:2.38 | could not withstand the strength of the attack and had to be brought | back. Angels came, too, but their protection did not suffice because |

Tx:4.1 | set him back on his journey. Devotion to a brother cannot set you | back either. It can lead only to mutual progress. The result of |
Tx:4.63 | this deception, and do not permit this shabby belief to pull you | back. The disheartened are useless to themselves and to me, but only |
Tx:4.90 | things right. Because you are all the Kingdom of God, I can lead you | back to your own creations, which you do not yet know. What has been |
Tx:4.105 | their own helpfulness and have thus set their own rehabilitation | back. Rehabilitation is not concerned either with the ego's fight |
Tx:5.12 | perceptions until they became so lofty that they could reach almost | back to Him. The Holy Spirit is the Mind of the Atonement. It |
Tx:5.19 | is in you in a very literal sense. His is the Voice that calls you | back to where you were before and will be again. |
Tx:5.29 | we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship and to bring it | back into the Oneness in which it was created. Remember that “yoke” |
Tx:5.43 | looks, and understand as He understands. His understanding looks | back to God in remembrance of me. He is in Holy Communion always, and |
Tx:5.54 | burden you have placed in your mind. By following Him, He leads you | back to God where you belong, and how can you find this way except by |
Tx:5.70 | delusional. Your mind does create your future, and it can turn it | back to full creation at any minute if it accepts the Atonement |
Tx:5.70 | at any minute if it accepts the Atonement first. It will also turn | back to full creation the instant it has done so. Having given up its |
Tx:5.85 | Holy Spirit's irrevocable set. “Irrevocable” means “cannot be called | back or redirected.” The irrevocable nature of the Holy Spirit's set |
Tx:5.89 | high that it cannot be surmounted. You are always being pulled | back to your Creator, because you belong to Him. |
Tx:6.44 | Only thus can you win | back the knowledge that you threw away. An idea which you share, |
Tx:6.66 | only what each one can give to all. He never takes anything | back, because He wants you to keep it. Therefore, His teaching |
Tx:7.53 | This light will shine | back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper |
Tx:7.86 | minds, but they also believe their projections are trying to creep | back into them. That is because the projections have not left |
Tx:8.11 | you how to disregard or look beyond everything that would hold you | back. |
Tx:8.39 | this confidence for both of us and all of us. I bring God's peace | back to all His Children, because I received it of Him for us all. |
Tx:8.40 | Ours is simply the journey | back to God, Who is our home. Whenever fear intrudes anywhere along |
Tx:8.41 | behind and reach beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you | back. I go before you, because I am beyond the ego. Reach therefore |
Tx:8.42 | of the Sonship, whose wholeness is for all. We begin the journey | back by setting out together and gather in our brothers as we |
Tx:9.43 | it. Its own range precludes this. You can only go beyond it, look | back from a point where sanity exists, and see the contrast. |
Tx:10.21 | His function became yours with His gift. Invite this knowledge | back into your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it enter. The |
Tx:10.33 | that you can only darken your own mind. As you bring him | back, so will your mind return. That is the law of God for the |
Tx:11.42 | chose to “sell” had to be kept for you since you could not “buy” it | back. Yet you must invest in it, not with money but with your |
Tx:11.84 | which is forever the only reality. The Atonement is but the way | back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to love His |
Tx:12.22 | is the reference point beyond illusions from which you can look | back on them and see them as insane. But seek this place, and you |
Tx:12.75 | me you have already overcome every temptation that would hold you | back. We walk together on the way to quietness that is the gift of |
Tx:13.61 | its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you will not look | back. |
Tx:15.104 | and your brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them | back and realize that they are where your invitation bids them be. |

Tx:17.3 | you take away from Him Who would release you. Unless you give it | back, it is inevitable that your perspective on reality be warped and |
Tx:17.59 | and makes no sense until it has already happened. Then you look | back at it and try to piece together what it must have meant. And you |
Tx:17.79 | that you have risen far beyond any situation that could hold you | back and keep you separate from Him Whose call you answered. |
Tx:18.8 | with you your mad journey outside yourself, leading you gently | back to the truth and safety within. He brings all your insane |
Tx:18.25 | seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, you have stepped | back. Let us then join quickly in an instant of light, and it will be |
Tx:18.27 | is given forever, for God Himself received it. You cannot take it | back. You have accepted God. The holiness of your relationship is |
Tx:18.30 | darkness. The darkness in you has been brought to light. Carry it | back to darkness from the holy instant to which you brought it. We |
Tx:18.31 | each other's way. And from this light will the Great Rays extend | back into darkness and forward unto God to shine away the past and so |
Tx:18.85 | is the little part of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it | back to Heaven. Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of |
Tx:18.86 | it as true. For you sent forth these messengers to bring this | back to you. |

Tx:19.42 | from each other seems mightier than the universe, for it would hold | back the universe and its Creator. This little wall would hide the |
Tx:19.68 | He gave instead, without the limits which would hold its extension | back and so would limit your awareness of it. For what He gives |
Tx:20.3 | lighting his way to his redemption and release. Hold him not | back with thorns and nails when his redemption is so near. But let |
Tx:20.20 | you who made it merciless, and now if mercilessness seems to look | back at you, it can be corrected. |
Tx:20.53 | what you really want. And from His holy temple, look you not | back on what you have awakened from. For no illusions can attract |

Tx:21.19 | is insane. You trained it in its testimony, and as it gave it | back to you, you listened and convinced yourself that what it saw was |
Tx:21.40 | and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be given | back to what produced them and can use them still to save itself from |
Tx:21.48 | of sin, follow in gladness the way to certainty. Be not held | back by fear's insane insistence that sureness lies in doubt. This |
Tx:22.6 | must make no sense to you. To whom would vision such as this send | back its messages? Surely not you, whose sight is wholly independent |
Tx:22.33 | at nothingness as if it were a solid wall see truly? It is held | back by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but |
Tx:22.39 | hard, for you have chosen, although you still may think you can go | back and make the other choice. This is not so. A choice made with |

Tx:24.3 | is not to know love's purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold | back but one belief, one offering, and love is gone because you asked |
Tx:24.32 | the savior God gave to you that you might look on him and give him | back his birthright. It is yours. |
Tx:25.52 | Let us go | back to what we said before and think of it more carefully. It must |
Tx:26.9 | door be opened that he may come forth to shine on you and give you | back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy |
Tx:26.29 | This tiny spot of sin that stands between you still is holding | back the happy opening of Heaven's gate. How little is the hindrance |
Tx:26.35 | judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one instant still called | back, as if it could be made again in time. You keep an ancient |
Tx:26.38 | to you to see the past and put it in the present? You can not go | back. And everything that points the way in the direction of the past |
Tx:26.40 | past that God remembers not and is not there? Now you are shifting | back and forth between the past and present. Sometimes the past seems |
Tx:26.72 | in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, looking | back but overlooking what is here and now. Yet only here and now |
Tx:27.47 | on as a condemnation by the one who could have saved it but stepped | back because he was afraid of being healed? The eyes of all the dying |
Tx:27.55 | but shift from name to name, as one steps forward and another | back. Yet which is foremost makes no difference. Sin's witnesses hear |
Tx:28.11 | And they will join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension | back into the mind Which caused all minds to be. Born out of sharing, |
Tx:28.24 | appearing as a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving | back to cause the function of causation, not effect. For this |
Tx:28.27 | role in making up the dream. They are the glad effects of taking | back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The body is released |
Tx:29.3 | turn again into an enemy. [Let him come close to you, and you jumped | back; as you approached, he instantly withdrew.] A cautious |
Tx:29.9 | Him? What toys or trinkets in the gap could serve to hold you | back an instant from His love? Would you allow the body to say “no” |
Tx:29.26 | The dreams you think you like would hold you | back as much as those in which the fear is seen. For every dream is |
Tx:30.62 | Yet God need not create His Son again that what is his be given | back to him. The gap between your brother and yourself was never |
Tx:30.63 | stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look | back and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path |
Tx:30.65 | from the world. And with it goes all hatred and all fear. Look | back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your |
Tx:30.66 | Do not look | back except in honesty. And when an idol tempts you, think of this: |
Tx:30.68 | pay the cost as well as you. For he will be delayed when you look | back, and you will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look |
Tx:30.83 | made on different aspects of experience. And then in looking | back you think you see another meaning in what went before. What have |
Tx:31.20 | let him be. We make no gains he does not make with us, and we fall | back if he does not advance. Take not his hand in anger but in love, |
Tx:31.23 | progress if you think the same, advancing only when he would step | back and falling back when he would go ahead? For so do you forget |

W1:42.8 | is not appropriate for today's exercises. Try merely to step | back and let the thoughts come. If you find this difficult, it is |
W1:45.4 | in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us | back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what |
W1:57.6 | upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines forgiveness | back at me. In this light, I begin to see what my illusions about |
W1:70.15 | My salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me | back. Within me is the world's salvation and my own. |
W1:73.3 | is lost to you in this strange bartering, in which guilt is traded | back and forth and grievances increase with each exchange. Can such a |
W1:75.13 | Should you be tempted, say to anyone who seems to pull you | back to darkness: |
W1:92.8 | and flicker and go out. It does not shift from night to day and | back to darkness till the morning comes again. The light of strength |
W1:95.9 | is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be held | back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be |
W1:97.10 | this gift which you received of Him, increase its power, and give it | back to you. |
W1:98.10 | that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and give them | back to you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady |
W1:100.10 | that you may look on Him? What little thought has power to hold you | back? What foolish goal can keep you from success when He Who calls |
W1:R3.6 | come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and then lean | back in quiet faith and let the mind employ the thoughts you gave as |
W1:123.1 | pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought of turning | back and no implacable resistance to the truth. A bit of wavering |
W1:123.6 | since He receives your gifts in loving gratitude and gives them | back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He |
W1:128.4 | temptation to believe the world has anything you want to hold you | back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one instant |
W1:129.5 | space away from timelessness. Here can you but look forward, never | back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the world that |
W1:131.5 | he is wrong, he finds correction; when he wanders off, he is led | back to his appointed task. |
W1:132.7 | road to truth. He will return and go still farther, or perhaps step | back a while and then return again. |
W1:133.1 | and far from what the student has already learned, to bring him | back to practical concerns. This we will do today. We will not speak |
W1:151.13 | that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them | back to you as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God. |
W1:151.14 | Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them | back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the |
W1:155.2 | Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then they step | back and let it lead the way. What other choice is really theirs to |
W1:155.6 | appears to cling to you that you may reach them. Yet it has stepped | back, and it is not illusion that they hear you speak of nor illusion |
W1:155.7 | for defeat, and aims which will remain impossible. All this steps | back as truth comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways |
W1:155.8 | holy Son of God. It is but from illusions he is saved. As they step | back, he finds himself again. |
W1:155.10 | to keep the truth apart from God's completion, holy as Himself. Step | back in faith, and let truth lead the way. You know not where you go, |
W1:155.15 | I will step | back and let Him lead the way, for I would walk along the road to |
W1:156.6 | This is the way salvation works. As you step | back, the Light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It |
W1:158.4 | For we but see the journey from the point at which it ended, looking | back on it, imagining we make it once again; reviewing mentally what |
W1:159.8 | set their roots. This is their home. They can be brought from here | back to the world, but they can never grow in its unnourishing and |
W1:159.9 | increase. His lilies do not leave their home when they are carried | back into the world. Their roots remain. They do not leave their |
W1:164.6 | vision, given you from far beyond all things within the world, looks | back on them in a new light. And what you see becomes the healing and |
W1:166.1 | He knows His Son. He gives without exception, holding nothing | back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet unless your will |

W1:169.13 | instant and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them | back to yourself. And revelation stands not far behind. Its coming is |
W1:R5.3 | sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us | back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and |
W1:R5.9 | and looks for me. I have forgotten no one. Help me now to lead you | back to where the journey was begun, to make another choice with me. |
W1:173.2 | [155] I will step | back and let Him lead the way. God is but Love, and therefore so am |
W1:182.7 | He whispers of His home unceasingly to you. For He would bring you | back with Him, that He Himself might stay and not return again where |
W1:184.10 | things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. And then step | back to darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim |
W1:185.1 | in any form, in any place or time. Heaven would be completely given | back to full awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the |
W1:188.1 | Source. It shines in you because it lights your home and leads you | back to where it came from and you are at home. |
W1:188.7 | were born within your mind as yours was born in God's. They lead you | back to peace from where they came but to remind you how you must |
W1:188.8 | in us today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently bring them | back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with |
W1:188.8 | them, ordering that they depart from us. But now we call them | back and wash them clean of strange desires and disordered wishes. We |
W1:192.10 | here on earth is only to forgive him, that you may accept him | back as your Identity. He is as God created him. And you are what he |
W1:193.2 | can correct his erring sight and give him vision that will lead him | back to where perception ceases. God does not perceive at all. Yet it |
W1:196.8 | without. And God, Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed | back within the holy mind He never left. |
W1:196.11 | yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon—today. Step | back from fear and make advance to love. |
W1:197.3 | released from hell forever. Is it this you would undo by taking | back your gifts because they were not honored? It is you who honor |
W1:197.4 | acknowledged by the Heart of God Himself. And would you take them | back when He has gratefully accepted them? |
W2:233.1 | wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step | back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide and I the follower who |
W2:248.1 | and lies about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him | back as God created him, and as he is. |
W2:WIS.5 | no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven | back? How long, oh holy Son of God, how long? |
W2:254.2 | our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step | back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what |
W2:265.1 | the world because I laid my “sins” on it and saw them looking | back at me. How fierce they seemed! And how deceived was I to think |
W2:266.1 | Voice to me. In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ look | back upon me from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. |
W2:WICR.4 | seem to be discrete and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet | back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. |
W2:324.1 | off a while and then return. Your loving Voice will always call me | back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can follow in the way |
W2:341.1 | love and tenderness so deep and dear and still the universe smiles | back on You and shares Your holiness. How pure, how safe, how sacred |
W2:345.1 | can be recognized and seen to work. The miracles I give are given | back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. |
W2:FL.3 | to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given | back completely and complete. |
M:13.4 | Does one whose vision has already glimpsed the face of Christ look | back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has escaped the |
M:13.4 | house? No one who has escaped the world and all its ills looks | back on it with condemnation. Yet he must rejoice that he is free of |
M:19.3 | eyes, distorts perception and brings witness of the distorted world | back to the mind that made the lens and holds it very dear. |
M:21.4 | process is merely a special case of the workbook lesson “I will step | back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of God accepts the words |
M:22.5 | not correct mistakes, and distorted perception does not heal. Step | back now, teacher of God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for |
M:25.5 | may still be strong enough to rally under this new temptation to win | back strength by guile. Many have not seen through the ego's defenses |

C:1.14 | from the conflict of this world that causes it, is to turn your | back on the real world and all that has meaning in it. In this you |
C:1.14 | you do not choose this option, thinking that to do so you turn your | back on responsibility and on duty, thus counting this action as a |
C:2.19 | use all you have learned for its own motivations and pat you on the | back for your new abilities. Without your vigilance it may even seem |
C:4.8 | that you have made to replace what you already have will lead you | back as surely as they can lead you astray. Where what you have made |
C:4.17 | will be some fairness here in what you give and what you are given | back. You hope your hard work will produce results, the dinner you |

C:9.10 | Would you keep that which you now look upon? As you stand | back and observe your body, always with the vision of your heart, |
C:9.15 | because it lies one step beneath the surface of your self. Peel | back the first level of what your eyes allow you to observe and you |
C:9.35 | that you can fix things by yourself and in so doing earn your way | back into your Father's home. Being willing to be forgiven is the |

C:10.5 | maladies. This is the separated self that you have made calling you | back to the body to prove to you that it is insurmountable. Many |
C:10.9 | still, you will begin to look for your rewards. Later you will look | back upon this time and smile and laugh out loud at the innocence of |
C:10.14 | your body. Even history would seem to prove this fact as you look | back and say even Jesus died before he could rise again as spirit. |
C:10.17 | This observation will help to put the responsibility of your life | back into your hands, where it belongs. You are not helpless, nor are |
C:10.20 | chances for unhappiness through the choices you would make. You look | back longingly at times of happiness and wonder what went wrong and |
C:10.20 | practicality needed to be made. Yet if the separated self can look | back and see that it chose being right over being happy, it will |

Tx:3.1 | You will also need them for preparation. Without this, you may | become much too fearful when the unexpected does occur to make |
Tx:3.53 | your own creation and what you create is so profound that it has | become literally impossible for you to know anything. Knowledge is |
Tx:3.79 | conflict. You have not yet gone back far enough, and that is why you | become so fearful. As you approach the beginning, you feel the fear |

Tx:5.30 | I could come to provide the model for how to think. Psychology has | become the study of behavior, but no one denies the basic law that |

Tx:5.59 | Perhaps some of our concepts will | become clearer and more personally meaningful if the ego's use of |

Tx:6.63 | This is familiar enough to you by now, but it has not yet | become believable. Therefore, you do not understand it and cannot |

Tx:7.110 | Sonship and given thanks to God. Everyone who learns this lesson has | become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of the Holy |
Tx:8.60 | which he cannot learn. His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must | become depressed. Being faced with an impossible learning situation, |
Tx:8.61 | to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this sense, the body does | become a temple to God, because His Voice abides in it by directing |
Tx:8.76 | you handle them results in nothing. The more complicated the results | become, the harder it may be to recognize their nothingness, but it |

Tx:9.35 | of what you have given them will teach you its value. They will | become the witnesses to your reality, as you were created witnesses |
Tx:9.42 | The ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they | become clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when |
Tx:9.48 | is of God and only of Him. Therefore, it is in you. Whenever you | become aware of it, however dimly, you abandon the ego automatically, |

Tx:9.87 | To be out of control is to be out of reason, and the mind does | become unreasonable without reason. This is merely a matter of |

Tx:10.61 | I am leading you to a new kind of experience, which you will | become less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for |
Tx:10.75 | good and the bad, the false and the true. For as Heaven and earth | become one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end |

Tx:11.59 | When this has been accomplished, perception and knowledge have | become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of God. |
Tx:11.64 | for it. For you can be aware of what you cannot see, and it can | become compellingly real to you as its presence becomes manifest |
Tx:11.72 | sought. That is because you do not yet want only that. Yet as I | become more real to you, you will learn that you do want only that. |
Tx:11.84 | upon it, you will remember that it was always so. Nothingness will | become invisible, for you will at last have seen truly. Redeemed |
Tx:12.6 | but if you will consider your reactions to it, you will | become increasingly convinced that this is so. |
Tx:12.56 | willingness is signified by giving. Those who accept love of you | become your willing witnesses to the love you gave them, and it is |
Tx:12.71 | comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will ensure it never can | become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. Under |

Tx:13.14 | Therefore, you cannot value one without the other, and guilt has | become as true for you as innocence. You do not believe the Son of |

Tx:13.92 | When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions | become as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you |

Tx:15.98 | of love, which must be paid by fear. How fearful, then, has God | become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you believe His love |
Tx:15.101 | yourself from where it is not. Your brothers and your Father have | become very fearful to you. And you would bargain with them for a few |
Tx:16.53 | power to what you think you have attacked? So fearful has the truth | become to you that unless it is weak and little, [and unworthy of |
Tx:16.58 | How simple does this choice | become when it is perceived as only what it is. For only fantasies |
Tx:16.62 | separate bodies seeking to join each other in separate unions and to | become one by losing. When two individuals seek to become one, they |
Tx:16.62 | unions and to become one by losing. When two individuals seek to | become one, they are trying to decrease their magnitude. Each would |
Tx:16.68 | the bridge. Yet as you cross to join it, it will join with you and | become one with you. And you will think in glad astonishment that for |
Tx:17.1 | Only in waking is the full release from them, for only then does it | become perfectly apparent that they had no effect on reality at all |
Tx:17.6 | He will accomplish it; not you. But forget not this: When you | become disturbed and lose your peace of mind because another is |
Tx:17.12 | that he has always rested there in peace. Even salvation will | become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation is the end |
Tx:17.16 | to go by the name of love. And finally why all such relationships | become the attempt at union through the body, for only bodies can |
Tx:17.21 | can see it more and more. For you will want it more and more and | become increasingly unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you |
Tx:17.47 | inevitably appalled. Their perception of the relationship may even | become quite disorganized. And yet, the former organization of their |
Tx:18.4 | of illusion for truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. It has | become so splintered and subdivided and divided again, over and over, |

Tx:18.20 | misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its holiness will | become an offering to everyone. |
Tx:18.22 | unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your relationship has | become one in which the wish has been removed because its purpose has |
Tx:18.40 | the holy instant is difficult for you, it is because you have | become the arbiter of what is possible and remain unwilling to give |
Tx:18.45 | to the Holy Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will | become the happy dream through which He can spread joy to thousands |
Tx:18.59 | encompass it. It becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both | become whole as neither is perceived as separate. What really happens |
Tx:19.9 | has hurt your mind and how confused your own identification has | become because of it! You do not see how great [is] the devastation |
Tx:19.25 | error. Sin will be repeated because of this attraction. Fear can | become so acute that the sin is denied the acting out, but while the |
Tx:19.43 | salvation away from the giver of salvation? For such have you | become. Peace could no more depart from you than from God. Fear not |
Tx:19.71 | which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter and | become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, |
Tx:20.11 | knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your vision has | become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God |
Tx:20.26 | and on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any separation between us | become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made |
Tx:21.6 | The blind | become accustomed to their world by their adjustments to it. They |
Tx:21.35 | Faith and belief | become attached to vision, as all the means that once served sin are |
Tx:22.10 | they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he sees about him will | become to him his comforters, and he will recognize his home and see |
Tx:22.37 | and is attracted to him to perpetuate his sins. And so it must | become impossible for each to see himself as causing sin by his |
Tx:22.40 | holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will | become His messengers, returning Him unto Himself. |
Tx:22.42 | Into your joined hands is it safely given, for you who share it have | become its willing guardians and protectors. |

Tx:22.62 | from its Creator]. And thus it seems as if love could attack and | become fearful. |
Tx:23.2 | You will believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and | become your enemy. And you will fight against it and try to weaken it |
Tx:23.18 | disappears. So is the memory of God obscured in minds that have | become illusion's battleground. Yet far beyond this senseless war it |
Tx:23.25 | becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now He has | become the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor |
Tx:23.25 | God. And now salvation must remain impossible because the savior has | become the enemy. |
Tx:23.44 | recognize assault upon your peace in any form, if only thus does it | become impossible that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining |
Tx:24.4 | reached, and meaningless decisions have been made and kept hidden to | become beliefs, now given power to direct all subsequent decisions. |
Tx:24.6 | “above” it, sinless by comparison with it. And thus does specialness | become a means and end at once. For specialness not only sets apart |
Tx:24.7 | Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your brother must | become to keep your specialness is an illusion. He who is “worse” |
Tx:24.71 | my own beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” | become the means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not |
Tx:25.44 | Eyes | become used to darkness, and the light of brilliant day seems painful |
Tx:25.48 | changed in form to let it serve his brother and himself and thus | become a means to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a |
Tx:25.86 | The little problems that you keep and hide | become your secret sins because you did not choose to let them be |
Tx:26.5 | special function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can | become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No |
Tx:26.29 | Where sin once was perceived will rise a world which will | become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of |
Tx:26.70 | wipe out the space you see between you still and let you instantly | become as one. And it is here you fear the loss would lie. Do not |
Tx:26.79 | and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a place of death has now | become a living temple in a world of light. Because of Them. It is |
Tx:26.82 | The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has | become a present love. And They come quickly to the living temple, |
Tx:27.11 | can come and perfect healing take the place of death. The body can | become a sign of life, a promise of redemption, and a breath of |
Tx:27.23 | punish sins you think are yours in someone else. And thus does he | become your victim, not your brother, different from you in that |
Tx:27.25 | half the error, which you think is all of it. Your brother's sins | become the central target for correction, lest your errors and his |
Tx:27.72 | you dream. Yet underneath this dream is yet another in which you | become the murderer, the secret enemy, the scavenger and the |
Tx:27.82 | of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought | become a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and real |
Tx:28.37 | you will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you | become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both |
Tx:28.37 | become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both | become illusions and without identity. You could be anyone or |
Tx:28.41 | as well as his. You cannot do his part, but this you do when you | become a passive figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your own. |
Tx:29.15 | to those who are confused is meaningless, and shift and change | become the law on which they predicate their lives. |
Tx:29.28 | failed to fill the function you allotted him? And does not this | become the “reason” your attack is justified? The dreams you think |
Tx:29.29 | How happy would your dreams | become if you were not the one who gave the “proper” role to every |
Tx:29.70 | attacked yourself. So do your childish terrors melt away and dreams | become a sign that you have made a new beginning, not another try to |
Tx:30.2 | form which sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself | become preoccupied with every step you take. The proper set, adopted |
Tx:30.9 | directed without fear, for opposition will not first arise and then | become a problem in itself. |
Tx:30.70 | by responding in a way which is not justified, your pardon will | become the answer to attack that has been made. And thus is pardon |
Tx:30.81 | to make an idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he has | become to you a graven image and a sign of death. Is this your |
Tx:30.86 | perception shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this | become impossible, for your agreement makes interpretation stabilize |
Tx:31.1 | exactly how to tell one from the other and just what to do if you | become confused. Why then do you persist in learning not such simple |
Tx:31.26 | outcomes, there is first one thing that must be overlearned. It must | become a habit of response so typical of everything you do that it |
Tx:31.29 | would abide in it. It sickens at the bidding of the mind that would | become its prisoner. And it grows old and dies because that mind is |
Tx:31.48 | your brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has now | become his sin. For this is no forgiveness possible. No longer does |
W1:1.5 | to apply it to everything you see, for these exercises should not | become ritualistic. Only be sure that nothing you see is specifically |
W1:4.5 | or so. You are too inexperienced as yet to avoid a tendency to | become pointlessly preoccupied. Further, since these exercises are |
W1:10.1 | This idea applies to all the thoughts of which you are aware or | become aware in the practice periods. The reason the idea is |
W1:12.2 | fairly constant time interval. Do not allow the time of the shift to | become markedly longer or shorter, but try, instead, to keep a |
W1:21.2 | The degree of the emotion you experience does not matter. You will | become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is |
W1:25.1 | that is what it means. It is in recognizing this that your goals | become unified. It is in recognizing this that what you see is given |
W1:27.2 | asked of you when you say you want to see above all else. If you | become uneasy about the lack of reservation involved, add: |
W1:30.5 | To aid in helping you to | become more accustomed to this idea as well, devote several practice |
W1:33.3 | be made immediately when any situation arises which tempts you to | become disturbed. For these applications, say: |
W1:39.10 | Sustained concentration is very difficult at first. It will | become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and less |
W1:43.1 | forever in your minds. With this link with God, perception will | become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. That |
W1:43.2 | purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must | become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his |
W1:43.11 | again. Do not allow any protracted period to occur in which you | become preoccupied with irrelevant thoughts. Return to the first |
W1:46.13 | are needed. They will be needed at any time during the day when you | become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, present or |
W1:65.8 | After a while, interfering thoughts will | become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so |
W1:66.3 | will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We will not | become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and determining the |
W1:68.2 | Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you think you have | become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself. |
W1:68.3 | holds grievances denies he was created by Love, and his Creator has | become fearful to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream of hatred |
W1:68.6 | hold against those you like and even think you love. It will quickly | become apparent that there is no one against whom you do not cherish |
W1:71.9 | will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to | become depressed or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the |
W1:72.11 | Our goal in the longer practice periods today is to | become aware that God's plan for salvation has already been |
W1:73.2 | that seem to attack you and call for “righteous” judgment. They | become the middlemen the ego employs to traffic in grievances and |
W1:82.2 | finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I | become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the |
W1:87.5 | God's. I am safe today because there is no will but God's. I can | become afraid only when I believe that there is another will. I try |
W1:91.3 | do not see is there sounds like insanity. It is very difficult to | become convinced that it is insanity not to see what is there and to |
W1:91.12 | Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You will | become accustomed to keeping faith with the more worthy in you as we |
W1:93.15 | of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to | become angry with someone, tell him silently: |
W1:101.4 | vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is real, salvation has | become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have |
W1:103.2 | and no opposite. Fear is associated then with love, and its results | become the heritage of minds that think what they have made is real. |
W1:105.3 | to reverse your view of giving, so you can receive. For giving has | become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by |
W1:106.7 | of all miracles has need that you receive them first and thus | become the joyous giver of what you received. Thus does salvation |
W1:108.2 | the light the body's eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has | become so unified that darkness cannot be perceived at all. And thus |
W1:121.7 | to you imploringly for Heaven here and now. It has no hope, but you | become its hope. And as its hope, do you become your own. The |
W1:121.7 | It has no hope, but you become its hope. And as its hope, do you | become your own. The unforgiving mind must learn through your |
W1:123.5 | loving may the message be. Thanks be to you who heard, for you | become the messenger who brings His Voice with you and let it echo |
W1:135.21 | Without defenses, you | become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. |
W1:136.7 | the whole and seen as separate and as wholes within themselves, they | become symbols standing for attack upon the whole, successful in |
W1:136.20 | before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has | become impossible. |
W1:137.11 | Those who are healed | become the instruments of healing. Nor does time elapse between the |
W1:138.3 | what appears as opposites. Decision lets one of conflicting goals | become the aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without decision, |
W1:153.3 | can be hoped for nor obtained. Attack, defense; defense, attack, | become the circles of the hours and the days that bind the mind in |
W1:154.3 | It is through His ability to hear One Voice Which is His own that you | become aware at last there is One Voice in you. And that One Voice |
W1:154.6 | And it is only as they can accept them for themselves that they | become able to bring them further and to give them everywhere that |
W1:154.6 | messengers, they did not write the messages they bear, but they | become their first receivers in the truest sense, receiving to |
W1:154.8 | Would you receive the messages of God? For thus do you | become His messengers. You are appointed now. And yet you wait to |
W1:157.7 | As this experience increases and all goals but this | become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a |
W1:159.8 | provides. They need the love with which He looks on them. And they | become His messengers who give as they received. |
W1:161.6 | text, where it is often emphasized. This is the reason bodies easily | become fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to look beyond |
W1:163.5 | Unholy in defeat, he has | become what death would have him be. His epitaph, which death itself |
W1:166.3 | must believe that, to accept God's gifts, however evident they may | become, however urgently he may be called to claim them as his own, |
W1:166.15 | Betray it not. | Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer everyone. |
W1:169.3 | the call to waken. It is not shut tight against God's Voice. It has | become aware that there are things it does not know and thus is ready |
W1:170.7 | With love as enemy must cruelty | become a god, and gods demand that those who worship them obey their |
W1:R5.12 | Let this review | become a time in which we share a new experience for you, yet one as |
W1:I2.2 | speaks for itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that words | become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you want and |
W1:181.3 | little focuses give way to our great need to let our sinlessness | become apparent. We instruct our minds that it is this we seek and |
W1:181.9 | And the love He feels for us becomes our own as well. This will | become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in ourselves. |
W1:182.9 | Rest with Him frequently today. For He was willing to | become a little child that you might learn of Him how strong is he |
W1:183.4 | gods you value. They have lost the name of god you gave them. They | become anonymous and valueless to you, although before you let the |
W1:183.6 | but this today; repeat God's Name slowly again and still again. | Become oblivious to every name but His. |
W1:183.7 | Hear nothing else. Let all your thoughts | become anchored on this. No other words we use except at the |
W1:183.9 | is part of Him, creating in His Name. Sit silently, and let His Name | become the all-encompassing idea which holds your mind completely. |
W1:183.11 | when God's Son calls on his Father's Name. His Father's Thoughts | become his own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave, is giving |
W1:184.4 | a lack of space, a sense of unity or vision which sees differently | become the threats which it must overcome, conflict with, and deny. |
W1:184.9 | practicing, it is this thought that will release you from them. They | become but means by which you can communicate in ways the world can |
W1:185.3 | Two minds with one intent | become so strong that what they will becomes the Will of God. For |
W1:188.2 | so easily be looked upon that arguments which prove it is not there | become ridiculous. Who can deny the presence of what he beholds in |
W1:188.6 | thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, | become the holy messengers of God Himself. These thoughts you think |
W1:192.8 | he spends his time in keeping watch on him. The bars which limit him | become the world in which the jailer lives, along with him. And it is |
W1:197.2 | what their thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and weakness must | become salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and bars become your |
W1:197.2 | must become salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and bars | become your home. Nor will you leave the prison house or claim your |
W1:R6.11 | trusting Him completely for the way each practice period can best | become a loving gift of freedom to the world. |
W2:WIW.2 | thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes | become quite possible, for certainty has gone. |
W2:WIW.4 | sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds | become the call of God. And all perception can be given a new purpose |
W2:WIS.4 | sin perceives is but a childish game. The Son of God may play he has | become a body, prey to evil and to guilt, with but a little life that |
W2:269.1 | blessing on my sight today. It is the means which You have chosen to | become the way to show me my mistakes and look beyond them. It is |
W2:276.1 | Word of God? “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God | become the Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This |
W2:318.2 | Atonement for myself. For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me | become as surely reconciled to You. |
W2:WIE.2 | in separation from the Infinite. In its insanity it thinks it has | become a victor over God Himself, and in its terrible autonomy, it |
W2:356.1 | he is, what seems to be his problem, nor what he believes he has | become. He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects |
M:I.5 | not perfect or they would not be here. Yet it is their mission to | become perfect here, and so they teach perfection over and over in |
M:1.1 | an agreement with God even if he does not yet believe in Him. He has | become a bringer of salvation. He has become a teacher of God. |
M:1.1 | not yet believe in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has | become a teacher of God. |
M:1.3 | does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the Call. He has | become a savior by his answering. He has seen someone else as |
M:3.2 | not scold the child for bumping into him; perhaps the students will | become friends. Even at the level of the most casual encounter, it is |
M:3.4 | someday meet again, for it is the destiny of all relationships to | become holy. God is not mistaken in His Son. |
M:3.5 | and can be learned. And if they decide to learn that lesson, they | become the saviors of the teachers who falter and may even seem to |
M:4.1 | relationship toward which the teaching-learning situation is geared, | become characteristic of all teachers of God who have advanced in |
M:4.17 | Who created them. And does what God created need defense? No one can | become an advanced teacher of God until he fully understands that |
M:5.8 | mind he has no function except to rejoice with them, for they have | become teachers of God with him. He has, however, a more specific |
M:7.2 | is not love but fear and therefore hate. His position has thus | become untenable, for he is offering hate to one to whom he offered |
M:7.6 | Conflict about what you are has entered your mind, and you have | become deceived about yourself. And you are deceived about yourself, |
M:10.2 | or better, he has an illusion of giving up. He has actually merely | become more honest. Recognizing that judgment was always impossible |
M:12.2 | Thus does the son of man | become the Son of God. It is not really a change; it is a change of |
M:12.4 | purpose of the body. As they advance in their profession, they | become more and more certain that the body's function is but to let |
M:12.5 | lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it will | become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as |
M:16.2 | in his own way. Routines as such are dangerous because they easily | become gods in their own right, threatening the very goals for which |
M:18.3 | its ears alone are thought to hear. Its little space and tiny breath | become the measure of reality. And truth becomes diminutive and |
M:22.3 | salvation is impossible. What then is left to heal? The body has | become lord of the mind. How could the mind be returned to the Holy |
M:23.2 | so. Temptation may recur to others, but never to this one. He has | become the risen Son of God. He has overcome death, because he has |
M:23.2 | limit on his power, because it is the Power of God. So has his name | become the name of God, for he no longer sees himself as separate |
M:23.5 | complete and flawless that he sees in it an image of his Father. You | become the symbol of his Father here on earth. To you he looks for |
M:23.6 | would we teach the limitations we have laid on us. No one who has | become a true and dedicated teacher of God forgets his brothers. Yet |
M:24.4 | finally accomplished, issues such as the validity of reincarnation | become meaningless. Until then they are likely to be merely |
M:27.2 | not of love, because he has denied that life is real. Death has | become life's symbol. His world is now a battleground where |

C:32.3 | are the learner here until you realize that you are Love. You then | become the teacher of what you are. Your mind and heart join in |
T1:1.8 | Without this “Treatise on the Art of Thought,” too many of you would | become muddled in your feelings and know not where to turn to explain |
T1:3.14 | this final choice, this choice to leave fear behind for good and to | become who you are. |
T1:4.2 | Treatise must change that habit in order for all your thoughts to | become the miracles that express the truth of who you are. This |
T1:4.7 | This is an enormous shift in your habit of thought as you | become the center of the universe. |
T1:4.10 | Think of all you now feel responsible for and this lesson will | become more clear. While your first thoughts will automatically go to |
T1:4.27 | nothing new, but a confusion so deeply ingrained in you that it has | become an aspect of yourself as human being. From time immemorial, |
T1:6.3 | choosing union. With this definition, you can see how your life can | become a prayer. This does not negate the fact that a prayer is also |
T1:6.8 | umbrella of a new way of thought? The different personalities | become one, the different paths become one path, the future |
T1:6.8 | thought? The different personalities become one, the different paths | become one path, the future experiences become one. And in this |
T1:6.8 | one, the different paths become one path, the future experiences | become one. And in this oneness is peace everlasting. |
T1:9.8 | Only through the Christ within you does this giving and receiving | become one in truth. |
T1:9.9 | also; that this new form would exist within you; that you would | become the Body of Christ and giving and receiving would be complete. |
T1:9.12 | In the broadest of terms, this is already happening. As the ego has | become threatened and allowed the coming of guidance, males and |
T1:9.13 | to cull from your own recent experience. What has caused the ego to | become more apparent to you as you have learned this Course? Has it |
T1:10.5 | you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you choose peace long enough to | become accustomed to joy without sorrow? If you cannot, you will |
T2:1.1 | be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it will | become your identity. We will begin by discussing the nature of |
T2:1.4 | related to those internal treasures you had once hoped to have | become abilities. You think this willingness to accept who you are |
T2:1.5 | how peaceful this place of rest may at first seem, it will soon | become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in such a place without |
T2:4.19 | that your heart alone can hear. As I have said, your heart has now | become your eyes and ears. Your heart hears only one call, one voice, |
T2:6.5 | what it is of which I speak. You believe that your treasures only | become accomplished abilities within time. You believe that your |
T2:6.5 | abilities within time. You believe that your treasures only | become part of your identity when you have passed beyond the time it |
T2:6.5 | when you have passed beyond the time it takes for those treasures to | become abilities. Thus all that you might wish to accomplish stands |
T2:7.10 | of who you are that does not allow for change. But once you have | become happier with who you are, you will, if left un-schooled, turn |
T2:7.17 | answer has changed greatly over time. But for many of you, you have | become less, rather than more forthcoming about your thoughts and |
T2:7.21 | experience giving and receiving being one in truth, your belief will | become true conviction. Your ability to recognize giving and |
T2:8.6 | paths of seeking. The truth of yourself that you reveal now will not | become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path now is sure and |
T2:9.13 | progress? You need a means of disconnecting this drive that has | become instinctual to you. As a being existing in form, you have |
T2:10.1 | you will not tire of this work until you succeed. This is how truths | become dogma and dogma becomes tyranny. This happens by accepting a |
T2:10.5 | in order to provide the information sought, so too do you need to | become knowledgeable in order to access all that is available to you. |
T2:10.13 | Christ in you is the real you. The Christ in you is the Self who you | become when you have united heart and mind once again in |
T2:11.3 | Doing battle with the ego has | become the preoccupation of many gifted and learned people. This is |
T2:11.12 | belief that this has occurred; that what could never be true has | become the truth. |
T2:12.6 | need of miracles. For as you live in the world as who you are, you | become a miracle and the constant expression of the miracle. |
T2:12.13 | Let the beliefs we have set forth | become one with you so that they enable you to live and express and |
T3:1.4 | as your personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will | become who you are in truth. |
T3:1.9 | is in the process of coming about has to do with awareness. When you | become aware of the personal self as a representation, you become |
T3:1.9 | When you become aware of the personal self as a representation, you | become aware of the Self whom the personal self is representing. To |
T3:1.12 | To | become a whole Self, with no parts hidden, a Self with no parts in |
T3:4.1 | that you were once bad but that by following these tenets you can | become good. It gives no credence and no blame to any past cause for |
T3:5.1 | easiest and most available replacement (the ego or that which has | become familiar, if not known). While few of you have ever before |
T3:6.1 | up your desire for reward is to give up a childish desire that has | become like unto a plague among you. While many of you see it not, |
T3:6.5 | it has not caused you to be unlovable or unrecognizable. But it has | become, like the ego, so much a part of your reality that it must, |
T3:10.7 | seem much unchanged in its outward appearance, it is up to you to | become aware of the total change that has, in truth, taken place. |
T3:10.8 | Along with forgetting there is another practice that will help you to | become aware of this change. While much the same as forgetting it |
T3:11.2 | the self alone. For those existing in the House of Truth, “I am” has | become something larger, an all-encompassing recognition of the unity |
T3:12.5 | identity. By changing our goal now, I am assuring you that you have | become aware of the truth of your identity. The goal of this Course |
T3:14.1 | You may live a more peaceful and meaningful life, but you will not | become the savior I ask you to be, or the architects of the new world |
T3:16.4 | in order to reflect, within your daily life, the new Self you have | become. |
T3:17.8 | the illusion and the truth, must end in order for the truth to | become the one reality. |
T3:18.2 | now accept and learn from observable truth. This is why you must | become that observable truth. |
T3:18.10 | relationship of the truth that unites all things and that must now | become observable. |
T3:19.7 | While some of you may have less desire for physical joining as you | become more aware of unity, some may have more desire for physical |
T3:19.16 | found to come to the truth. But a way of getting to the truth will | become so attractive that few will be able to resist. What will make |
T3:20.1 | will serve you. Time was wasted on illusion and so but seemed to | become a master that made of you a slave. Now time must be thought of |
T3:20.2 | remembering and since this is what we work to have occur, time can | become our ally by using it for effectiveness. |
T3:21.9 | once lived with the truth. You must find it unobservable! It must | become a concept only. Illusion is a set of facts, or in other words, |
T3:22.10 | and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have needed to | become bored with what has been, tired of the way things were, |
T4:1.13 | to feel, something is different now. You are beginning to | become excited by the feeling that something different is possible; |
T4:1.23 | between good and evil and feel now as if these distinctions have | become more and more obscure. Some have yearned for a return to days |
T4:1.25 | is occurring during which those unable to allow themselves to | become aware of the new state of consciousness are resisting it, |
T4:1.25 | to try before they give into its pull and settle there. But all have | become aware that a new experience awaits and that they stand at the |
T4:1.27 | and contrast. But this also means that the great majority will | become aware of the new state of consciousness and that learning will |
T4:2.7 | over those who came before. That those who came before did not | become aware of their true nature does not mean that it did not |
T4:2.7 | that there are others living among you in this time who will not | become aware of their true nature does not mean that it does not |
T4:2.10 | others, or cause you, as the chosen, to be separate, you will not | become fully aware of the new time. Full awareness of the new is what |
T4:2.12 | has led them to achieve their desired end, most who so achieve and | become the first to set records, discover, or invent the new, are not |
T4:3.6 | world, became subject to the tests of time. Thus did the world | become a world of effort with all things in it and beyond it, |
T4:3.12 | in physical form, physical form will surpass what it once was and | become the new nature of the created. There is no reason why the |
T4:3.12 | There is no reason why the original nature of your being cannot | become a being the nature of which is form if you so choose it to be. |
T4:4.13 | unknown were not unknown faith would not be necessary. Faith will | become unnecessary, as life everlasting becomes known to you. |
T4:4.15 | is only in the relationship of matter to the divine that matter can | become divine and thus eternal. If you can abide in unity while in |
T4:5.2 | So that you can join your accomplishment with that of all others and | become the body of Christ. |
T4:10.1 | willing to give up the role of learner and to believe that you will | become comfortable and more in your new role as the accomplished. |
T4:10.14 | those are who have joined you in Christ-consciousness, for you have | become who you are and move on from this starting point to creating |
D:1.2 | of the Son of God. In going forth with the vision of unity you | become as I was during life. You “receive” and you “give” from the |
D:1.17 | fully accomplished. They can serve as reminders as you continue to | become the Self you have learned that you are. But further learning |
D:2.13 | your personal control and so patterns of personal control have | become particularly entrenched. Thus have you learned ideas such as |
D:2.19 | need to be endlessly repeated. Now these systems and patterns have | become so entrenched that no new learning is seen as possible or |
D:3.4 | triumph, words unusual to the body of this work but words that will | become usual in our normal conversation in this dialogue. I use them |
D:3.14 | Giving and receiving as one has | become one in form as well as one in idea. What this means, simply |
D:3.19 | in the way separate forms express content. It will be challenging to | become aware that different expressions do not make different. These |
D:4.2 | living organism now raised above the level of the organism as you | become aware of unity of form. |
D:4.7 | fills the mind with fear. And yet those who are imprisoned often | become so acclimated to prison life, that life on the “outside” is no |
D:4.16 | lessons it was meant to provide. In addition, believing the ego had | become an externalized self took you, the true Self and the true |
D:4.23 | authority you must claim before your externally structured life can | become an internally structured life. |
D:4.24 | as one. Let the authority of the new be given and received. | Become the author of your own life. Live it as you feel called to |
D:4.31 | reasons will disappear. All the different reasons you would cite | become what they are—one reason, the same reason—and you will see |
D:5.4 | was created as a true representation of the world within, and as you | become aware of the truth represented in all that encompasses and |
D:5.8 | nothing but a lie. The false is nothing but the false. It does not | become some “thing,” for in the becoming it would need to take on the |
D:5.12 | of learning are all that exist in all you see. But what now will | become of these patterns that are no longer needed as your learning |
D:5.12 | to represent what is and aid you in your return to what is, will | become what is once again. What you can see with your body's eyes |
D:5.18 | that isn't changing fast enough to suit the new you whom you have | become. |
D:6.4 | Self is beginning to reveal itself to you in ways of which you will | become increasingly aware. As you identify more intimately with the |
D:7.9 | of all that you are. You are thus now called to discover and to | become aware of all that you are. The body, rather than aiding you in |
D:7.17 | and awareness of who you are now and what this means as you | become the elevated Self of form. |
D:7.28 | an address, perhaps a yard, or farm, perhaps a public spot that has | become a favorite park or lake or beach that you consider partially |
D:8.1 | you as possible, because here is where all that you can imagine can | become your new reality. |
D:8.8 | What was learned was only able to be learned because you chose to | become the wholehearted. You chose to join mind and heart and it was |
D:8.9 | As the mind opens and accepts the new, the art of thought will | become your new means of thinking. What has been learned will become |
D:8.9 | will become your new means of thinking. What has been learned will | become an ability to think wholeheartedly, or with mind and heart in |
D:8.9 | and then that ability will transcend ability and wholehearted will | become what you are, and wholeheartedness your sole means of |
D:8.13 | When you choose to take this step it is taken. What you will | become aware of on the other side of that door will require a new way |
D:9.2 | on acceptance is what is spoken of here. There you were asked to | become aware of what imprisons you, only to have it later suggested |
D:9.14 | to see, on a small scale, the action that, on a large scale, will | become the new way. |
D:10.5 | becoming sharable in form—or in other words, what is continues to | become through the continuation of relationship and the creation of |
D:11.13 | of the Son of God. In going forth with the vision of unity you | become as I was during life. You do not think your way through life, |
D:12.8 | their thoughts through the form of the spoken word. They do not then | become “your” thoughts, but they do “enter” you. Their words must |
D:12.8 | you in order for them to provide a source for your response—to | become a means of communication and exchange. The same is true of the |
D:12.12 | of the self in its unguarded moments. I am attempting to help you to | become aware and comfortable with the idea that, released of old |
D:12.17 | your realization that it seems crazy or impossible to you, you may | become more aware than ever before that what I have said about your |
D:13.7 | no intermediaries are needed or required. Thus you are not called to | become an intermediary trying to bridge the knowing of the separated |
D:13.12 | becomes effortless and joyful and effective. Cause and effect | become one. Means and end the same. |
D:14.3 | and discovery needs to be invited and experienced before you | become partners in the creation of the new. |
D:14.11 | To expand is to open “out,” to spread “out,” to increase, to | become. It is, for us, about bringing “out” what is within. As you |
D:14.11 | become. It is, for us, about bringing “out” what is within. As you | become aware “within” your Self, you enable the expansion of |
D:14.12 | signal a recognition that what you are is not complete, has not yet | become whole, has not been fully birthed. Your forms are complete in |
D:14.13 | be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it will | become your identity.” That treasure is the new way of thought put |
D:14.13 | acceptance, and discovery are, in short, what allow form to | become the more it has so long been seeking to become. |
D:14.13 | what allow form to become the more it has so long been seeking to | become. |
D:14.14 | the more subtle memory of this state that is behind your striving to | become. Now you are beginning to see the vastness of what is meant by |
D:15.22 | point of the highest peak of the highest mountain, you pause and | become accustomed to the thinner air, the view from above, to what |
D:16.5 | the ability to create. Through the art of thought, these abilities | become who we are. God and Creation are synonymous, and you are |
D:16.5 | are synonymous, and you are reminded of that here as you and God | become synonymous through Creation. Means and end are one. Cause and |
D:16.5 | you will have moved through the act of creation and you will have | become a creator. You will be ready for creation of the new. |
D:16.7 | state of unity, the only relationship through which the Self and God | become known to you. Love, God, Creation, are all that remained in |
D:Day1.24 | your true home, is written within you. It only needs to be lived to | become real. You must accept me because I lived it and made it real |
D:Day3.9 | But given time to consider such an idea, you are likely to | become more and more agitated, to go back and forth between the |
D:Day3.36 | It is only in relationship with the God within that the way will | become clear. |
D:Day3.40 | which can be gained through the mind. As you advance, and as you | become more open to other means of accessing the wisdom you once |
D:Day4.33 | natural serve the natural. Some might “go into” the breathing and | become one with it. Others might become the observer and in so doing |
D:Day4.33 | might “go into” the breathing and become one with it. Others might | become the observer and in so doing remove themselves from the body |
D:Day4.43 | to fast and pray only to have to return when you have once again | become a glutton of want, when you once again feel the lack that you |
D:Day4.57 | is your enlightenment realized without judgment. These things | become not achievements, but the acknowledgments of the |
D:Day6.12 | and within the relationship of creation in which created and creator | become one. |
D:Day6.24 | your learning and your teacher has stepped aside as a teacher and | become a companion. Would you desire to prolong your time as an |
D:Day7.2 | about fear is life giving. You thus were given life only to have it | become degenerated by fear. |
D:Day7.13 | there is no need for me to list every new condition here. As you | become increasingly aware of your relationship with union, each of |
D:Day7.13 | and your relationship with each of these new conditions will | become clear to you. |
D:Day8.15 | construct or rule that says you do not tolerate it, then you will | become intolerant. And because you will then act from a predetermined |
D:Day8.18 | matter. This will only happen if you allow yourself to deny and thus | become distanced from your own feelings. |
D:Day9.21 | To represent an image is to | become an image. To become an image, even an idealized image, is to |
D:Day9.21 | To represent an image is to become an image. To | become an image, even an idealized image, is to still become a false |
D:Day9.21 | an image. To become an image, even an idealized image, is to still | become a false idol or even what is referred to in more common usage |
D:Day10.12 | that comes from access to unity may be less difficult for you to | become aware of and accept than the confidence in the self of form |
D:Day10.12 | all know from the time of learning, it is often more difficult to | become adept in doing something in a way different than you have done |
D:Day10.24 | it may seem when presented in this way, is an exchange and will only | become more so as we proceed. I am not imparting wisdom that you are |
D:Day12.1 | We realize this because we realize the sacred space we have | become. Our space is the space of unity. It is the space of ease |
D:Day13.7 | you realize that all exist within. It is only in this way that you | become completely fearless and totally spacious, for fear is part of |
D:Day15.12 | together of spacious Selves. It is a joining without boundaries. You | become clear pools flowing into each other. You make your spirits |
D:Day15.15 | healing properties. To heal is to make whole. To make whole is to | become the spacious Self. To become the spacious Self is to become |
D:Day15.15 | is to make whole. To make whole is to become the spacious Self. To | become the spacious Self is to become ready to be informed and to |
D:Day15.15 | is to become the spacious Self. To become the spacious Self is to | become ready to be informed and to inform with the spirit of creation. |
D:Day15.20 | that movement will always be needed for the clear pool to not | become a stagnant pond. |
D:Day15.26 | as the spacious Self and are made known, your purpose here will | become more clear. Thus your ability to embrace all while focusing on |
D:Day16.9 | also no escape, however, because in Christ-consciousness, you must | become fully aware of the present. The present is the time of no |
D:Day18.4 | of joy and harmony for only through joy and harmony can true service | become true action. It is the way for those who desire to bring |
D:Day18.12 | Both the self and the relationship of self to all must | become known in order for the paradise that has been re-found to be |
D:Day19.1 | does not have a form within your mind and so you see not how it can | become manifest in the world. In other words, you know not what to |
D:Day19.4 | “doing” find their way to true contentment and true creation. They | become who they are to be through their acts of creation. Those |
D:Day19.4 | that this reflection is the new way of creation. In their being they | become what they want to create. |
D:Day19.10 | All are called to | become, but some must “do” in order to “become.” Those called to the |
D:Day19.10 | to do in the sense of fulfilling a specific function that will | become manifest in the world, but are required to do in the sense of |
D:Day19.10 | in the sense of receiving, sharing, and being what they are asked to | become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new pattern, a |
D:Day19.14 | in form but through relationship. Those following the way of Mary | become mirrors of the truth they discover, reflecting the way to |
D:Day24.6 | cocoon, is to attempt the impossible. It is the nature of spirit to | become. Its wings poke and prod from within as its potential is |
D:Day24.6 | potential is triggered. Only with release from its container can it | become. |
D:Day25.1 | the mind was searching, yearning, questioning, now it is likely to | become still. From the stillness comes its emergence as what it is. |
D:Day25.5 | you might think of this time as a time of sorting and culling. | Become used to letting what comes to you come to you without |
D:Day27.8 | to practice your apprehension of this new situation, it will | become more than a concept. As was spoken of in “A Treatise on the |
D:Day27.8 | in “A Treatise on the Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”, it will | become a trusted ability and, through practice, lose its dualistic |
D:Day27.8 | ability and, through practice, lose its dualistic seeming nature and | become as intrinsic to who you are as is breathing. In this same way, |

D:Day28.4 | are at least college age, the opportunity to move away, move out, | become more independent increases the awareness of self as self. As |
D:Day28.4 | of self as self. As the self matures beyond school age, the choices | become those of degrees of independence, moving away, moving into |
D:Day29.7 | This is why experience has needed to find a place in which it could | become the common denominator between wholeness and separation. Once |
D:Day32.18 | Could it be that while we are one in being with God we can also | become more god-like through the practice of holy relationship? Could |
D:Day32.20 | embrace holy relationship. As you embrace holy relationship you can | become powerful as God is powerful. |
D:Day33.15 | us, it is only in relationship that it is expressed and that we | become powerful. To realize that you are in relationship with |
D:Day35.1 | relationship, you are in relationship with all. Thus you need not | become a world traveler, a joiner, an activist. You simply must |
D:Day35.1 | not become a world traveler, a joiner, an activist. You simply must | become aware of all that you are. |
D:Day36.16 | of being, or individuating God. You accept the power of God. You | become powerful. |
D:Day36.19 | that has been stated here in many different ways to allow you to | become accustomed to the idea of a truth that may seem heretical to |

D:Day39.30 | career, beauty, fame, celebrity, intellect? Then these things have | become the content of who you are. Science, money, fame, celebrity, |

Tx:2.43 | of Atonement to the protection of the inner self, which, as it | becomes more and more secure, assumes its natural talent of |
Tx:2.48 | The misuse of will engenders a situation which in the extreme | becomes altogether intolerable. Pain thresholds can be high, but they |
Tx:2.48 | dimly, that there must be a better way. As this recognition | becomes more firmly established, it becomes a perceptual |
Tx:2.48 | better way. As this recognition becomes more firmly established, it | becomes a perceptual turning-point. This ultimately reawakens the |
Tx:2.49 | tolerate at all. The pain threshold drops accordingly, and the mind | becomes increasingly sensitive to what it would once have regarded as |
Tx:2.66 | the learner, but if it is falsely endowed with self-initiative, it | becomes a serious obstruction to the very learning it should |
Tx:2.68 | own defiled altar. But since the altar has been defiled, his state | becomes doubly dangerous unless it is perceived. |
Tx:2.80 | made up your mind. Your will is split, and your behavior inevitably | becomes erratic. Correcting at the behavioral level can shift the |
Tx:2.105 | that he did not create himself. He is apt to forget this when he | becomes egocentric, and this places him in a position where the |
Tx:3.11 | before any residual fear which may still be associated with miracles | becomes entirely groundless. The crucifixion did not establish the |
Tx:3.27 | are apt to be quite stupid at times. It is not until their innocence | becomes a genuine viewpoint which is universal in its application |
Tx:3.27 | a genuine viewpoint which is universal in its application that it | becomes wisdom. Innocent (or true) perception means that you never |
Tx:3.56 | Once forgiveness has been accepted, prayer in the usual sense | becomes utterly meaningless. Essentially, a prayer for forgiveness is |
Tx:3.58 | no judgments and there is nothing but perfect equality? Perception | becomes impossible. Truth can only be known. All of it is equally |
Tx:4.6 | the idea to others to be their own. The idea does not lessen; it | becomes stronger. |
Tx:4.32 | This means that equality is beyond its grasp and charity | becomes impossible. The ego never gives out of abundance, because |
Tx:4.38 | be accepted or rejected accordingly. If it is shown to be true, it | becomes a fact, after which no one attempts to evaluate it unless its |
Tx:4.71 | the body is good enough to be its home. Here is where the mind | becomes actually dazed. Being told by the ego that it is really part |
Tx:4.92 | to associate the opposite of misery with its presence. It gradually | becomes desirable as he changes his mind about its worth. |
Tx:4.94 | and although the mind is naturally abstract. The mind nevertheless | becomes concrete voluntarily as soon as it splits. However, only |
Tx:4.98 | curtailed, you are limiting your sense of your own reality, which | becomes total only by your recognizing all reality in the glorious |
Tx:5.39 | of reality, war is the guarantee of its survival. The ego | becomes strong in strife. If you believe there is strife, you will |
Tx:5.70 | Having given up its thought disorder, the proper ordering of thought | becomes quite apparent. |
Tx:6.43 | peace is to teach peace. By learning it through projection, it | becomes a part of what you know, because you cannot teach what you |
Tx:6.65 | a means of communication and because communicating is sharing, it | becomes communion. You might argue that fear as well as love can be |
Tx:7.71 | be used for attack, but in the service of the Holy Spirit, [the law | becomes as beneficent as all of the laws of God. Stated positively,] |
Tx:7.103 | is a confusion in motivation and, given this confusion, trust | becomes impossible. |
Tx:7.108 | natural environment and does not function well. Everything he does | becomes a strain, because he was not created for the environment that |
Tx:8.7 | must be fully recognized before a real change in direction | becomes possible. You cannot learn simultaneously from two teachers |
Tx:8.27 | goes with you everywhere, you shine it away with me. The light | becomes ours, and you cannot abide in darkness any more than |
Tx:8.40 | defeat and angered by it, the ego regards itself as rejected and | becomes retaliative. You are invulnerable to its retaliation, |
Tx:8.55 | this, you cannot use it for attack. In the service of uniting, it | becomes a beautiful lesson in communion, which has value until |
Tx:8.56 | you will see the use to which you have put yours. If the body | becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy Spirit to use on |
Tx:8.61 | by the ego, it is. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it is not. It | becomes only a means by which the part of the mind you have separated |
Tx:8.61 | its distortions and return to the Soul. The ego's temple thus | becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces |
Tx:8.65 | If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body | becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can only |
Tx:8.86 | results. Thus, “hellfire” means “burning,” but raising the dead | becomes allegorical. Actually, it is particularly the references to |
Tx:9.5 | over to the Holy Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this | becomes the one way in which you handle all errors, you cannot |
Tx:9.33 | you call upon in yourself. And as you call upon it in them, it | becomes real to you. God has but one Son, knowing them all as |
Tx:9.48 | the presence of the grandeur of God the meaninglessness of the ego | becomes perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, the |
Tx:9.90 | When you have experienced the protection of God, the making of idols | becomes inconceivable. There are no strange images in the Mind of |
Tx:10.3 | you approach the center of His thought system, the clearer the light | becomes. The closer you come to [the foundation of] the ego's thought |
Tx:10.3 | foundation of] the ego's thought system, the darker and more obscure | becomes the way. Yet even the little spark in your mind is enough to |
Tx:10.17 | Healing thus | becomes a lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it, |
Tx:10.20 | want Him. Think like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark | becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that He becomes your |
Tx:10.20 | little spark becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that He | becomes your only Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you |
Tx:10.43 | fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not true. Fear | becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the ego's |
Tx:10.51 | have pursued quite diligently, has [only] brought you fear, and it | becomes difficult to maintain that fear is happiness. |
Tx:10.55 | perceptions which it unifies on behalf of itself. This, then, | becomes the universe it perceives. And it is this universe which, in |
Tx:10.55 | the universe it perceives. And it is this universe which, in turn, | becomes its demonstration of its own reality. |
Tx:10.58 | Every brother you meet | becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you |
Tx:11.1 | but to stimuli as you interpret them. Your interpretation thus | becomes the justification for the response. That is why analyzing the |
Tx:11.12 | what fear conceals to clear-cut, unequivocal predominance, fear | becomes meaningless. You have denied its power to conceal love, which |
Tx:11.14 | they could not be sick. The task of the miracle-worker thus | becomes to deny the denial of truth. The sick must heal |
Tx:11.59 | of your training under the Holy Spirit's guidance increases and | becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and |
Tx:11.60 | of knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy perception of God's Son | becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the Spirit of |
Tx:11.60 | it, and the Spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind of the Father and | becomes one with it. Very gently does God shine upon Himself, loving |
Tx:11.64 | are His witnesses and speak for His Presence. What you cannot see | becomes real to you only through the witnesses who speak for it. For |
Tx:11.64 | see, and it can become compellingly real to you as its presence | becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy Spirit's work, for you |
Tx:12.23 | with you, as its reasoning goes, it offers you oblivion. When it | becomes overtly savage, it offers you hell. |
Tx:12.26 | By the notion of paying for the past in the future, the past | becomes the determiner of the future, making them continuous |
Tx:13.2 | The very real difference between perception and knowledge | becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is nothing partial |
Tx:13.80 | what God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind | becomes impossible. Why would you struggle so frantically to |
Tx:13.88 | and restore what always was to your unforgiving mind. Atonement | becomes real and visible to them that use it. On earth this is your |
Tx:14.12 | Peace, then, be unto everyone who | becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the acknowledgment of |
Tx:14.14 | cannot crucify nor suffer crucifixion. The temple you restore | becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And everything |
Tx:14.24 | Yet the perception must be without deceit, for otherwise it | becomes the messenger of ignorance rather than a helper in the search |
Tx:14.25 | or unrecognized, real or false to you. If you hide it, it | becomes unreal to you because you hid it and surrounded it with |
Tx:14.25 | at fear, the less you see it, and the clearer what it conceals | becomes. |
Tx:14.27 | keep them both alive and equal in their reality. Their joining thus | becomes the source of fear, for if they meet, acceptance must be |
Tx:14.47 | shared and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here, its truth | becomes the only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus, |
Tx:14.57 | We have already learned that this identity is shared. The miracle | becomes the means of sharing it. By supplying your identity |
Tx:14.61 | be seen, for it is nothing more than a condition in which seeing | becomes impossible. You who have not yet brought all of the darkness |
Tx:15.8 | is nothing but a teaching device for compounding guilt until it | becomes all-encompassing and demands vengeance forever. |
Tx:15.45 | past, for past experience is the basis on which you judge. Judgment | becomes impossible without the past, for without it you do not |
Tx:15.48 | which points to truth. Under His teaching, every relationship | becomes a lesson in love. |
Tx:15.60 | holding it within itself, there was no loss. The holy instant thus | becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind, |
Tx:15.70 | the ego makes is based on the idea that by sacrificing itself, it | becomes bigger. The “sacrifice,” which it regards as purification, |
Tx:15.71 | other accept the guilt and sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness | becomes impossible, for the ego believes that to forgive another is |
Tx:15.75 | are together your minds remain your own. The union of bodies thus | becomes the way in which you would keep minds apart. For bodies |
Tx:15.91 | limits on your union with Him.] The reality of this relationship | becomes the only truth that you could ever want. All truth is |
Tx:15.105 | justified. And as long as you would retain the deprivation, attack | becomes salvation, and sacrifice becomes love. |
Tx:15.105 | retain the deprivation, attack becomes salvation, and sacrifice | becomes love. |
Tx:16.32 | of love. If the illusion goes, the relationship is broken or | becomes unsatisfying on the grounds of disillusionment. |
Tx:16.60 | closer you look at the special relationship, the more apparent it | becomes that it must foster guilt and therefore must imprison. |
Tx:16.70 | and deprivations all enter into the special relationship, which | becomes a way in which you seek to restore your wounded self-esteem. |
Tx:16.74 | yourself. You have denied that it is there, and the relationship | becomes your substitute for it. And vengeance becomes your |
Tx:16.74 | and the relationship becomes your substitute for it. And vengeance | becomes your substitute for Atonement, and the escape from |
Tx:16.74 | your substitute for Atonement, and the escape from vengeance | becomes your loss. |
Tx:17.12 | twisted your perception and fixed it on the past. The smallest leaf | becomes a thing of wonder and a blade of grass a sign of God's |
Tx:17.18 | that enters into the unholy relationship, the less satisfying it | becomes. And the more the fantasies can encompass, the greater |
Tx:17.19 | The “ideal” of the unholy relationship thus | becomes one in which the reality of the other does not enter at all |
Tx:17.19 | dream. And the less the other really brings to it, the “better” it | becomes. Thus, the attempt at union becomes a way of excluding even |
Tx:17.19 | brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union | becomes a way of excluding even the one with whom the union was |
Tx:17.39 | seems to shine in darkness from the frame is exposed to light, it | becomes dull and lifeless and ceases to distract you from the |
Tx:17.44 | accomplishment. In all its aspects, as it begins, develops, and | becomes accomplished, it represents the reversal of the unholy |
Tx:17.46 | The temptation of the ego | becomes extremely intense with this shift in goals. For the |
Tx:17.58 | outcome. In the ego's procedure, this is reversed. The situation | becomes the determiner of the outcome, which can be anything. The |
Tx:17.60 | to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and falsity. The true | becomes what can be used to meet the goal. The false becomes the |
Tx:17.60 | The true becomes what can be used to meet the goal. The false | becomes the useless from this point of view. The situation now has |
Tx:17.66 | an error in your thoughts about the situation, which then | becomes the justification for your lack of faith. You will make |
Tx:17.76 | demonstrated has called for faith and has been given it. Now it | becomes a fact from which faith can no longer be withheld. The |
Tx:18.15 | because the fact that reality is so outrageously violated in them | becomes apparent. Yet they are a way of looking at the world and |
Tx:18.59 | and something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It | becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both become whole as |
Tx:18.73 | illusion, holding itself apart against the universe. The sun | becomes the sunbeam's “enemy” which would devour it, and the ocean |
Tx:18.79 | the barren ground. See how life springs up everywhere! The desert | becomes a garden, green and deep and quiet, offering rest to those |
Tx:19.2 | Every situation properly perceived | becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is healed |
Tx:19.3 | as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the body | becomes its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the |
Tx:19.3 | demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The body thus | becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what |
Tx:19.4 | a body, you have established a condition in which uniting with him | becomes impossible. Your faithlessness to him has separated you from |
Tx:19.34 | perception, the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it | becomes invisible. And errors are quickly recognized and quickly |
Tx:19.72 | is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception, the body | becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the |
Tx:20.1 | peace, not pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ | becomes the symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the |
Tx:20.23 | and so meaningless it slips unnoticed through the universe of truth, | becomes your guide. To it you turn to ask the meaning of the |
Tx:20.72 | in unadjusted form and suited perfectly to meet it. Destructiveness | becomes benign, and sin is turned to blessing under His gentle gaze. |
Tx:21.25 | When vision is denied, confusion of cause and effect | becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause |
Tx:21.25 | confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose now | becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make effect |
Tx:21.72 | no reason in them. A flower turns into a poisoned spear, a child | becomes a giant, and a mouse roars like a lion. And love is turned to |
Tx:21.82 | for constancy in your desire to see the real world, so the desire | becomes the only one you have. By answering the final question |
Tx:22.4 | sense of differences so that the sameness that lies beneath them all | becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the |
Tx:23.2 | How strange indeed | becomes this war against yourself! You will believe that everything |
Tx:23.17 | altar disappears, the light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One | becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions. |
Tx:23.22 | the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction | becomes inevitable. |
Tx:23.23 | aspects of the Son meet only to conflict but not to join. One | becomes weak, the other strong by his defeat. And fear of God and of |
Tx:23.25 | See how the fear of God is reinforced by this third principle. Now it | becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now He has |
Tx:23.26 | There can be no release and no escape. Atonement thus | becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the Will of God. |
Tx:23.27 | the belief you have what you have taken. By this, another's loss | becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never |
Tx:24.10 | wish to separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share | becomes obscured from both of you. You would oppose this course |
Tx:24.34 | yourself. Faith is invested in yourself alone. Everything else | becomes your enemy—feared and attacked, deadly and dangerous, hated |
Tx:24.48 | the way that He must go to find Himself complete. His quietness | becomes your certainty. And where is doubt when certainty has come? |
Tx:25.19 | you to look upon. His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness | becomes your strength, and both will gladly look within and see the |
Tx:25.31 | your future? For you make it now, the instant when all time | becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your choice. But recognize |
Tx:25.80 | When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned. And punishment | becomes his due instead of justice. |
Tx:25.86 | for yourself. The miracle that you receive, you give. Each one | becomes an illustration of the law on which salvation rests—that |
Tx:26.3 | the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed. For sight of bodies | becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited and something still |
Tx:26.25 | and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus | becomes the means by which he learns he has done nothing to forgive. |
Tx:26.52 | creation be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers until God | becomes impatient, splits the world apart, and relegates attack unto |
Tx:26.82 | resting-place as well as yours. What hatred has released to love | becomes the brightest light in Heaven's radiance. And all the lights |
Tx:27.3 | no pain and no reproach at all. And what was martyred to his guilt | becomes the perfect witness to his innocence. |
Tx:27.9 | perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself. For it | becomes the symbol of reproach, the sign of guilt whose consequences |
Tx:27.32 | an unused interval of time not seen as spent and fully occupied, | becomes a silent invitation to the truth to enter and to make itself |
Tx:27.50 | despite their different forms. All learning aims at transfer, which | becomes complete within two situations which are seen as one, for |
Tx:27.69 | No one can waken from a dream the world is dreaming for him. He | becomes a part of someone else's dream. He cannot choose to waken |
Tx:28.23 | and cause are first split off and then reversed, so that effect | becomes a cause; the cause, effect. |
Tx:28.48 | Where one appears, the other disappears. And which you share | becomes the only one you have. You have the one which you accept, |
Tx:29.17 | For it asks that God be less than all He really is. What, then, | becomes of you, for it is you of whom the sacrifice is asked? For |
Tx:29.17 | and He is lessened by the loss of you. And what is gone from Him | becomes your god, protecting you from being part of Him. |
Tx:29.22 | brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions, he | becomes your savior from your dreams. And as you see him shining in |
Tx:29.25 | are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth | becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have |
Tx:29.29 | they seem to be what they are for. A shadow figure who attacks | becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the |
Tx:29.29 | who attacks becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this | becomes the function of the dream. And dreams of sadness thus are |
Tx:29.30 | given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each dream | becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His love for you, |
Tx:29.50 | which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the world | becomes the means by which this idol can be saved. Salvation thus |
Tx:29.65 | his thoughts and gives them to the toys instead. And their reality | becomes his own because they seem to save him from his thoughts. |
Tx:29.66 | more. The dream of judgment is a children's game in which the child | becomes the father, powerful, but with the little wisdom of a child. |
Tx:30.1 | The new beginning now | becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now you |
Tx:30.57 | to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt | becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the |
Tx:30.58 | the means by which it can be gained can now be understood. The world | becomes a place of hope because its only purpose is to be a place |
Tx:30.92 | gifts upon God's Son. When he is tempted, he denies reality. And he | becomes the willing slave of what he chose instead. |
Tx:31.11 | want? It is the recognition that it is a state of mind unwanted that | becomes the means whereby the choice is reassessed; another outcome |
Tx:31.15 | roles, forever split between the two. And every friend or enemy | becomes a means to help you save yourself from this. |
Tx:31.26 | become a habit of response so typical of everything you do that it | becomes your first response to all temptation and to every situation |
Tx:31.68 | “bad” must lurk behind. This concept emphasizes treachery, and trust | becomes impossible. Nor could it change while you perceive the “bad” |
W1:3.1 | ones, without making distinctions of any kind. Whatever you see | becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be sure that you do |
W1:5.1 | true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each form | becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the |
W1:22.1 | at him. His own attack is thus perceived as self defense. This | becomes an increasingly vicious circle until he is willing to change |
W1:39.10 | is very difficult at first. It will become much easier as your mind | becomes more disciplined and less distractible. |
W1:43.2 | Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception | becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother and |
W1:64.2 | your sins. In this perception, the physical appearance of temptation | becomes the spiritual recognition of salvation. |
W1:64.4 | your function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness | becomes inevitable. |
W1:84.5 | I am attacking love and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus | becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self today, so |
W1:91.13 | will see miracles because Their strength is yours. Their strength | becomes your eyes that you may see. |
W1:97.4 | still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas | becomes a time which has no length and which has no end. Give, then, |
W1:99.2 | illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible | becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation |
W1:103.6 | welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy | becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it |
W1:106.10 | the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world | becomes ready to understand and to receive. |
W1:122.10 | hopefulness, for we have reached the turning point at which the road | becomes far easier. And now the way is short that yet we travel. We |
W1:134.8 | illusions as illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that it | becomes the undeceiver in the face of lies, the great restorer of the |
W1:134.14 | would meet with our reality in freedom and in peace. Our practicing | becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who |
W1:135.9 | defense, need merely be perceived as quite apart from you, and it | becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument through which the mind can |
W1:135.16 | it will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions. Time | becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by learning and experience |
W1:135.17 | is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned before | becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs |
W1:135.20 | trace of sorrow and with joy which constantly increases as this life | becomes a holy instant, set in time but heeding only immortality. Let |
W1:135.20 | no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this life | becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses |
W1:137.1 | Sickness is a retreat from others and a shutting off of joining. It | becomes a door that closes on a separate self and keeps it isolated |
W1:137.6 | think not healing is unworthy of your function here. For anti-Christ | becomes more powerful than Christ to those who dream the world is |
W1:137.6 | body seems to be more solid and more stable than the mind. And love | becomes a dream, while fear remains the one reality that can be seen |
W1:137.10 | His life | becomes your own as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you |
W1:137.11 | to God does not exist. And who accepts it not within his mind | becomes a haven where the weary can remain to rest. For here is truth |
W1:139.3 | states that he is not himself and therefore, being something else, | becomes a questioner of what that something is. |
W1:139.4 | that he does not know the only certainty by which he lives. Thus he | becomes uncertain of his life, for what it is has been denied by him. |
W1:153.6 | attack is folly or a silly game a tired child might play when he | becomes too sleepy to remember what he wants. |
W1:153.15 | attention to the daily thought as long as possible. Five minutes now | becomes the least we give to preparation for a day in which salvation |
W1:154.3 | is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son | becomes His messenger of unity with Him. |
W1:154.4 | guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. Now this mind | becomes aware again of Who created it and of His lasting union with |
W1:157.5 | you. For your experience today will so transform your mind that it | becomes the touchstone for the holy thoughts of God. |
W1:157.7 | but this become of little worth, the world to which you will return | becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more like Heaven |
W1:159.7 | new again but in a different light. What was to be the home of sin | becomes the center of redemption and the hearth of mercy where the |
W1:164.6 | the world, looks back on them in a new light. And what you see | becomes the healing and salvation of the world. The valuable and |
W1:164.7 | given us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing today | becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness and |
W1:166.8 | at this perception of yourself. Where is self-pity then? And what | becomes of all the tragedy you sought to make for him whom God |
W1:166.12 | of all the gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what | becomes your will when you accept these gifts and recognize they are |
W1:166.14 | What you fear but teaches them their fears are justified. Your hand | becomes the giver of Christ's touch; your change of mind becomes the |
W1:166.14 | Your hand becomes the giver of Christ's touch; your change of mind | becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer |
W1:166.15 | to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind | becomes which chooses to accept His gifts and feel the touch of |
W1:167.12 | what is reflected there. And now it is no more a mere reflection. It | becomes the thing reflected and the light which makes reflection |
W1:169.1 | come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. Grace | becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a table where |
W1:170.6 | Next are the attributes of love bestowed upon its “enemy.” For fear | becomes your safety and protector of your peace, to which you turn |
W1:170.11 | in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a part of love. And what | becomes more fearful than the heart of Love Itself? The blood appears |
W1:181.9 | are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us | becomes our own as well. This will become the only thing we see |
W1:181.10 | The world which once proclaimed our sins | becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for everyone we |
W1:183.4 | of God and little names have lost their meaning. No temptation but | becomes a nameless and unwanted thing before God's Name. Repeat His |
W1:183.7 | beginning, when we say today's idea but once. And then God's Name | becomes our only thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies |
W1:183.11 | he made be nameless now, and in their place the holy Name of God | becomes his judgment of their worthlessness. |

W1:199.4 | body will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. It thus | becomes a vehicle which helps forgiveness be extended to the |
W1:199.6 | what they have sought. The body's purpose now is unambiguous. And it | becomes perfect in the ability to serve an undivided goal. In |

W2:264.1 | every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears and place | becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps |

M:I.4 | as they teach His lessons of joy and hope, their learning finally | becomes complete. |
M:2.5 | share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner | becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision |
M:4.10 | learning is consolidated. Now what was seen as merely shadows before | becomes solid gains, to be counted on in all “emergencies” as well as |
M:4.15 | of gentleness, for it is in this that the function of salvation | becomes easy. To those who would do harm, it is impossible. To those |
M:6.4 | by God. What concern, then, can a teacher of God have about what | becomes of his gifts? Given by God to God, who in this holy exchange |

M:14.2 | becomes the home in which forgiveness is born and where it grows and | becomes stronger and more all embracing. Here is it nourished, for |

M:16.3 | practice periods which the workbook contains, individual need | becomes the chief consideration. |
M:17.1 | magic seem quite real to both of them. How to deal with magic thus | becomes a major lesson for the teacher of God to master. His first |
M:17.5 | reaction means, and its centrality in the world's thought system | becomes apparent. A magic thought, by its mere presence, acknowledges |
M:17.9 | In truth it has no power to make anything. Like the magic which | becomes its servant, it neither attacks nor protects. To see it and |
M:18.3 | space and tiny breath become the measure of reality. And truth | becomes diminutive and meaningless. Correction has one answer to all |
M:18.5 | In order to heal, it thus | becomes essential for the teacher of God to let all his own mistakes |
M:18.5 | of errors. When this has been accomplished, the teacher of God | becomes a miracle worker by definition. His sins have been forgiven |
M:19.2 | It is, however, the one interpretation that leads to truth. This | becomes possible because, while it is not true in itself, justice |
M:19.2 | is but the first small step in the direction of the other. The path | becomes quite different as one goes along. Nor could all the |

M:22.5 | it is because he has forgotten Who he is. Another's sickness thus | becomes his own. In allowing this to happen, he has identified with |
M:23.4 | as a replacement for the many names of all the gods you pray to. It | becomes the shining symbol for the Word of God, so close to what it |
M:23.4 | for all the gifts that God has given you. And gratitude to God | becomes the way in which He is remembered, for love cannot be far |
M:27.5 | the perception of the real world and that of the world of illusions | becomes more sharply evident. Death is indeed the death of God if He |

D:17.20 | You have realized now that you remain in a state of | becoming, and any disappointment you may have initially felt with |

D:Day4.57 | We are here for the final stage of your | becoming, not because you have reached some ideal of enlightenment or |

Tx:1.29 | my brothers, you do it unto yourself and me. The reason you come | before me is that I do not need miracles for my own Atonement, but |
Tx:1.77 | of awe is worshipful. It implies that one of a lesser order stands | before a greater one. This is the case only when a Soul stands |
Tx:1.77 | before a greater one. This is the case only when a Soul stands | before its Creator. Souls are perfect creations and experience awe |
Tx:1.84 | We said | before that the miracle abolishes time. It does this by a process of |
Tx:1.89 | it only by complete forgiveness. You never really wanted peace | before, so there was no point in being told how to achieve it. No |
Tx:1.92 | man can be separated from God, requires correction at its own level | before the error of perceiving levels at all can be corrected. Man |
Tx:1.97 | The power and strength of man's creative will must be understood | before the real meaning of denial can be appreciated and |
Tx:2.4 | also an overly literal figure. These concepts need to be clarified | before the real meaning of the separation, or the “detour into fear,” |
Tx:2.11 | of what actually occurred in the separation. None of this existed | before, nor does it actually exist now. The world was made as “a |
Tx:2.21 | itself. The real meaning of “are of one kind,” which was mentioned | before, is “are of one mind or will.” When the will of the Sonship |
Tx:2.36 | was generated by man. The Atonement principle was in effect long | before the Atonement itself began. The principle was love, and the |
Tx:2.36 | the Atonement itself was an act of love. Acts were not necessary | before the separation because the time-space belief did not exist. It |
Tx:2.38 | The Atonement actually began long | before the crucifixion. Many Souls offered their efforts on behalf of |
Tx:2.46 | it undoes the separation and restores the wholeness of the mind. | Before the separation, the mind was invulnerable to fear because fear |
Tx:2.60 | Before miracle workers are ready to undertake their function in this | |
Tx:2.67 | is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual eye will see. We said | before that the Spiritual eye cannot see error and is capable only of |
Tx:2.69 | himself. Healing is an ability lent to man after the separation, | before which it was completely unnecessary. Like all aspects of the |
Tx:2.71 | the human limitations, though toward its higher levels. We said | before that only revelation transcends time. The miracle, as an |
Tx:2.75 | but the fundamental error does. The correction is always the same. | Before you will to do anything, ask me if your will is in accord with |
Tx:2.93 | complain about fear still persist in creating it. I told you | before that you cannot ask me to release you from fear because I |
Tx:3.11 | There is another point which must be perfectly clear | before any residual fear which may still be associated with miracles |
Tx:3.30 | cognition is because you must get your perceptions straightened out | before you can know anything. To know is to be certain. Uncertainty |
Tx:3.31 | or God. To recognize means to “know again,” implying that you knew | before. You can see in many ways, because perception involves |
Tx:3.36 | correctly so that you can know him. Right perception is necessary | before God can communicate directly to His own altars which He has |
Tx:3.40 | is an example of the created-creator confusion we have spoken of | before. Yet man can only know himself as he is because that is |
Tx:3.51 | We said | before that the abilities which man possesses are only shadows of his |
Tx:3.61 | which perception, but not cognition, rests. We have discussed this | before in terms of the selectivity of perception, pointing out that |
Tx:3.74 | as beyond his control. We have discussed the fall, or separation, | before, but its meaning must be clearly understood without symbols. |
Tx:3.77 | do more than believe it. He cannot make it true. And, as we said | before, when you finally perceive correctly, you can only be glad |
Tx:4.35 | with physical birth, because no one maintains that the ego existed | before that point in time. The religiously ego-oriented believe that |
Tx:4.35 | in time. The religiously ego-oriented believe that the Soul existed | before and will continue to exist afterwards, after a temporary lapse |
Tx:4.36 | not the One-Mindedness of the Soul, but which must be accomplished | before One-Mindedness can be restored. Right-mindedness dictates the |
Tx:4.51 | who call truly are always answered. Thou shalt have no other gods | before Him because there are none. |
Tx:4.54 | has already been accepted. That is why we made no distinction | before between having the Kingdom of God and being the Kingdom of |
Tx:4.57 | by changing your behavior, but we have also said, and many times | before, that you can change your mind. When your mood tells you |
Tx:4.89 | because my will is never out of accord with His. I have told you | before that I am in charge of the whole Atonement. This is only |
Tx:5.1 | To heal is to make happy. I have told you | before to think how many opportunities you have to gladden yourselves |
Tx:5.11 | that it calls it forth; or better, allows it to come. We have spoken | before of the higher or the “true” perception, which is so close to |
Tx:5.11 | inspiring the beginning of the Atonement at the same time. | Before that, there was no need for healing and no one was comfortless. |
Tx:5.17 | healing by looking beyond it to what the Children of God were | before healing was needed and will be when they have been healed. |
Tx:5.18 | of the mind. The mind had no calling until the separation, because | before that it had only being and would not have understood the |
Tx:5.19 | sense. His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were | before and will be again. |
Tx:5.21 | that you must let banish the idea of darkness. His is the glory | before which dissociation falls away and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks |
Tx:5.21 | falls away and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks through into its own. | Before the separation you did not need guidance. You knew as you |
Tx:5.32 | This needs clarification, not in statement, since we have said it | before, but in experience. |
Tx:5.35 | That is why you must share it. It must be increased in strength | before you can hear it. It is impossible to hear it in yourself |
Tx:5.36 | idea. Both time and delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said | before that the Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything |
Tx:5.61 | God detach itself without believing it is attacking Him? We spoke | before of the authority problem as involving the concept of |
Tx:5.63 | mind, as God created it, is capable of creating reality. We said | before that you must learn to think with God. To think with Him is |
Tx:5.65 | We said | before that illness is a form of magic. It might be better to say |
Tx:5.70 | possible reason for continuing guilt feelings. We have said this | before, but we did not emphasize the destructive results of this |
Tx:5.73 | until the first one was made, and speaking itself was unnecessary | before the ego was made. |
Tx:5.79 | to share the light with you. Remember the symbolic reference we made | before to the ego's dark glass, and remember also that we said, “Do |
Tx:5.93 | to work out the plan of salvation yourselves because, as I told you | before, the remedy is not of your making. God Himself gave you the |
Tx:6.4 | let us consider the crucifixion again. We have not dwelt on it | before because of its fearful connotations. The only emphasis we laid |
Tx:6.5 | anyone who understands it. While we emphasized only the resurrection | before, the purpose of the crucifixion and how it actually led to |
Tx:6.9 | We have said | before, “As you teach, so shall you learn.” If you react as if you |
Tx:6.25 | are synonymous, as are separation and dissociation. We have said | before that the separation was and is dissociation and also that, |
Tx:6.39 | above all, projecting and being. This is because, as we have said | before, every idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends |
Tx:6.41 | this, you made what you are something you must learn. We said | before that the message of the crucifixion was, “Teach only love, for |
Tx:6.76 | which was made irrevocably for you. That is why we suggested | before that there was help in reminding yourselves to allow the Holy |
Tx:6.82 | since your salvation is critical to the whole Sonship. We said | before that the Holy Spirit is evaluative and must be. Yet His |
Tx:7.13 | that exists among different or separate people. When we spoke | before of the extremely personal nature of revelation, we followed |
Tx:7.17 | That is why the Holy Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said | before that He teaches remembering and forgetting, but the forgetting |
Tx:7.27 | to peace. The ego's “enemy” is therefore your friend. We said | before that the ego's friend is not part of you, since the ego |
Tx:7.34 | the laws of God and forgetting the laws of the ego. We said | before that forgetting is merely a way of remembering better. It is |
Tx:7.60 | which they engender by perceiving conflict as meaningless. We said | before that the Holy Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is, |
Tx:7.83 | mind is life. The ego's use of projection must be fully understood | before its inevitable association between projection and anger can be |
Tx:7.105 | We said | before that you are the Will of God. His Will is not an idle wish, |
Tx:7.112 | you do not know your brothers, who created them with you. We said | before that only the whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with |
Tx:8.7 | The total senselessness of such a curriculum must be fully recognized | before a real change in direction becomes possible. You cannot |
Tx:8.12 | We said | before that the Holy Spirit teaches you the difference between pain |
Tx:8.41 | and reach beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you back. I go | before you, because I am beyond the ego. Reach therefore for my |
Tx:9.44 | We said | before that the ego does not know what a real question is. Lack of |
Tx:9.49 | It is a delusional attempt to outdo but not to undo. We said | before that the ego vacillates between suspiciousness and |
Tx:9.81 | from all illusions because you heard. But have no other gods | before Him, or you will not hear. God is not jealous of the gods |
Tx:9.82 | with Him, because reality is not divided. To accept other gods | before Him is to place other images before yourself. |
Tx:9.82 | divided. To accept other gods before Him is to place other images | before yourself. |
Tx:9.84 | you to return, and He will be heard when you place no other gods | before Him. You can give up the god of sickness for your brothers; in |
Tx:9.85 | perfect. If you believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods | before Him. God is not at war with the god of sickness you made, but |
Tx:9.96 | Son is helpless without the Father, Who alone is his help. We said | before that of yourselves you can do nothing, but you are not of |
Tx:10.28 | deny Him, remember that there are no other gods that you can place | before Him, and accept His Will for you in peace. For you cannot |
Tx:10.69 | To perceive anew is merely to perceive again, implying that | before, or in the interval, you were not perceiving at all. What, |
Tx:11.31 | must realize that your hatred is in your mind and not outside it | before you can get rid of it and why you must get rid of it before |
Tx:11.39 | His is the journey to accomplishment, and the goal He sets | before you He will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, |
Tx:11.67 | We said | before that what you project is up to you, but it is not up to |
Tx:12.17 | not hide suffering from His sight, but bring it gladly to Him. Lay | before His eternal sanity all your hurt, and let Him heal you. Do |
Tx:12.50 | time and thus enables them to reach each other. The present is | before time was and will be when time is no more. In it is everything |
Tx:12.74 | through all dangers to your peace of mind that this world sets | before you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and seek not |
Tx:12.74 | to your peace of mind that this world sets before you. Kneel not | before the altars to sacrifice and seek not what you will surely |
Tx:13.34 | brightness so intense that none of us alone can even think on it. | Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom, guilt melts away and, |
Tx:13.34 | never cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand | before the gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in our |
Tx:13.60 | for when you look at it in simple honesty, it is undone. We said | before, “Be not content with nothing,” for you have believed that |
Tx:13.61 | true and built on truth. The universe of learning will open up | before you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you |
Tx:13.61 | will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth | before you, you will not look back. |
Tx:13.88 | truth in your most holy mind be undone for you and stand in grace | before your Father, He will give Himself to you as He has always |
Tx:13.89 | here? You need not understand creation to do what must be done | before that knowledge would be meaningful to you. God breaks no |
Tx:13.91 | Before you make any decisions for yourself, remember that you have | |
Tx:14.35 | your recognition. They are joined in giving you the gift of oneness, | before which all separation vanishes. Unite with what you are. |
Tx:14.60 | you only what you are now. Learning has been accomplished | before its effects are manifest. Learning is therefore in the past, |
Tx:14.71 | your voice against Him. For He teaches the miracle of oneness, and | before His lesson division disappears. Teach like Him here, and you |
Tx:15.4 | We have seen this strange paradox in the ego's thought system | before, but never so clearly as here. For the ego must seem to keep |
Tx:15.17 | is for you because His joy is yours. Through Him you stand | before God's altar, where He gently translates hell into Heaven. For |
Tx:15.21 | Presence of what the universe bows to in appreciation and gladness? | Before the recognition of the universe which witnesses to It, your |
Tx:15.26 | content with less than his Father has given him. We asked you once | before, “Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God?” Let this |
Tx:15.30 | is not little, and love dwells in you, for you are host to Him. | Before the greatness that lives in you, your poor appreciation of |
Tx:15.34 | it protects only the peace in which He dwells. Lay not littleness | before His holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches even |
Tx:15.37 | Be humble | before Him and yet great in Him. And value no plan of the ego |
Tx:15.37 | before Him and yet great in Him. And value no plan of the ego | before the plan of God. For you leave empty your place in His plan, |
Tx:15.46 | and acquired methods for meeting them on your own terms. We said | before that to limit love to part of the Sonship is to bring guilt |
Tx:15.68 | We said | before that the ego attempts to maintain and increase guilt, but in |
Tx:16.21 | have taught through Him, have nothing in common with what you taught | before He came. And the results have been to bring peace where there |
Tx:16.30 | the hate but not to let it go. Your salvation will rise clearly | before your open eyes as you look on this. You cannot limit hate. |
Tx:16.43 | on the self to make the other guilty. We have spoken of this | before, but there are some aspects of what is really being attempted |
Tx:16.55 | nothing more than a meaningless attempt to raise other gods | before Him and by worshiping them to obscure their tininess and His |
Tx:16.55 | you do not want this. For every idol which you raise to place | before Him stands before you in place of what you are. |
Tx:16.55 | this. For every idol which you raise to place before Him stands | before you in place of what you are. |
Tx:16.65 | your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will hurt you now more than | before only because you realize it is delay and that escape from |
Tx:16.75 | of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said | before that the Holy Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses |
Tx:17.22 | All this you will do gladly if you but let Him hold the spark | before you to light your way and make it clear to you. God's Son is |
Tx:17.77 | the strain of not responding to His call seems to be greater than | before. This is not so. Before, the strain was there but you |
Tx:17.77 | to His call seems to be greater than before. This is not so. | Before, the strain was there but you attributed it to something else, |
Tx:17.78 | the Son of God. His faithlessness did this to him. Think carefully | before you let yourself use faithlessness against him. For he is |
Tx:18.14 | Yet think what this world is. It is clearly not the world you saw | before you slept. Rather, it is a distortion of the world, planned |
Tx:18.20 | have used them to remain asleep. We once said that the first change, | before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to |
Tx:18.27 | your relationship is this world's light. And fear must disappear | before you now. Be tempted not to snatch away the gift of faith you |
Tx:18.89 | you see the light behind it. And then you see it as a fragile veil | before the light. |
Tx:18.90 | is like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a solid wall | before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is wholly an illusion. It |
Tx:18.95 | way. Where learning ends there God begins, for learning ends | before Him Who is complete where He begins and where there is no |
Tx:18.97 | the course it took, lifted high above the darkness and gently placed | before the gates of Heaven. The holy instant in which you were united |
Tx:19.1 | We said | before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to truth, |
Tx:19.10 | which you received. You do not use anything your brother has done | before to condemn him now. You freely choose to overlook his |
Tx:19.14 | In the holy instant, you stand | before the altar God has raised unto Himself and both of you. Lay |
Tx:19.14 | the glad tidings that it was done to you who stand together | before the altar from which they were sent forth. |
Tx:19.24 | it is far better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you carefully | before you allow yourself to make this choice. Approach it not |
Tx:19.32 | what God created holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself | before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, |
Tx:19.32 | before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, | before which God Himself must bow and offer His creation to its |
Tx:19.33 | has been removed, and so it can be cherished but a little while | before it vanishes. Only the habit of looking for it still remains. |
Tx:19.35 | to what you now can see. The barriers to heaven will disappear | before your holy sight, for you who were sightless have been given |
Tx:19.38 | within must first expand and flow across the obstacles you placed | before it. This will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy |
Tx:19.39 | thanks and gratitude which you have offered Him and lay them gently | before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father |
Tx:19.43 | messengers from you to all the world. And barriers will fall away | before their coming as easily as those which you would interpose will |
Tx:19.46 | land and settle briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose now. | Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a |
Tx:19.47 | makes its results appear to be more erratic and unpredictable than | before. Yet what could be more unstable than a tightly-organized |
Tx:19.48 | How mighty can a little feather be | before the great wings of truth? Can it oppose an eagle's flight or |
Tx:19.50 | losing none of them on pain of death and laying them respectfully | before their lord and master. Perception cannot obey two masters, |
Tx:19.54 | but theirs, you will see fear no more. The world will be transformed | before your sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with |
Tx:19.55 | Love, too, would set a feast | before you on a table covered with a spotless cloth, set in a quiet |
Tx:19.55 | grace is said by everyone together as they join in gentleness | before the table of communion. And I will join you there, as long ago |
Tx:19.64 | cannot be asked of you? There is no obstacle which you can place | before our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there already. |
Tx:19.85 | by its orders, proof in his decay that God Himself is powerless | before the ego's might, unable to protect the life that He created |
Tx:19.91 | The fourth obstacle to be surmounted hangs like a heavy veil | before the face of Christ. Yet as His face rises beyond it, shining |
Tx:19.95 | And now you stand in terror | before what you swore never to look upon. Your eyes look down, |
Tx:19.98 | the Atonement and learned illusions are not real. No one can stand | before this obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus far |
Tx:19.99 | realize its purpose is accomplished? Here, with the journey's end | before you, you see its purpose. And it is here you choose whether |
Tx:19.100 | you look upon each other with perfect faith and love and tenderness. | Before complete forgiveness, you still stand unforgiving. You are |
Tx:19.105 | redemption is accomplished and received. Think who your brother is | before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that he is holy |
Tx:20.15 | one another the freedom and the strength to lead you there. And come | before each other's holy altar where the strength and freedom wait, |
Tx:20.16 | is a change; a shift in perception or a belief that what was so | before has been made different. Every adjustment is therefore a |
Tx:20.19 | and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a little longer | before it overtakes you and you disappear? You made this up. It is |
Tx:20.22 | will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he will not remain | before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered and you accepted. |
Tx:20.35 | when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done | before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to |
Tx:20.36 | He will go | before you making straight your path and leaving in your way no |
Tx:20.36 | will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away | before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of |
Tx:20.41 | that runs through time like golden light is all the same—nothing | before it, nothing afterwards. |
Tx:20.56 | the holy instant, offered him to replace the unholy one he chose | before. And here can he learn relationships are his salvation and |
Tx:20.58 | discrepancies of means and end and how these must be brought in line | before your holy relationship can bring you only joy. But we have |
Tx:20.60 | They guarantee the goal, and they are perfectly in line with it. | Before we look at them a little closer, remember that if you think |
Tx:20.63 | relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of sin an instant | before he dies. |
Tx:20.69 | Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless that Christ may rise | before your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your |
Tx:20.72 | Look through its eyes, and everything will stand condemned | before you. All that could save you, you will never see. Your holy |
Tx:21.3 | go through the doors you thought were closed but which stand open | before unseeing eyes, waiting to welcome you. |
Tx:21.4 | necessary to imagine what the world must look like. It must be seen | before you recognize it for what it is. You can be shown which doors |
Tx:21.10 | into a great and shining circle. And all the circle fills with light | before your eyes. The edges of the circle disappear, and what is in |
Tx:22.24 | form of the same fundamental illusion we have seen many times | before. Only if it were possible the Son of God could leave his |
Tx:22.38 | way or the other. For now if you go straight ahead, the way you went | before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The whole |
Tx:22.40 | And so you stand, here in this holy place, | before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the face of Christ. |
Tx:22.40 | almost over in your awareness, and peace has reached you even here | before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ |
Tx:22.43 | And so they learn that it is theirs forever. All barriers disappear | before their coming, as every obstacle was finally surmounted which |
Tx:22.43 | was finally surmounted which seemed to rise and block their way | before. This veil you lift together opens the way to truth to more |
Tx:22.44 | —to receive together and give as you received. Standing | before the veil, it still seems difficult. But hold out your joined |
Tx:22.48 | How weak is fear—how little and how meaningless! How insignificant | before the quiet strength of those whom love has joined! This is your |
Tx:22.53 | from means to end as easy as is the shift from hate to gratitude | before forgiving eyes. You will be sanctified by one another, using |
Tx:22.55 | Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no | |
Tx:23.10 | “enemy” you fought as an intruder on your peace is here transformed | before your sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God |
Tx:23.32 | And if it is the truth, then must its opposite, which was the truth | before, be madness now. Such a reversal, completely turned around, |
Tx:23.34 | is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears to function many times | before. In truth it does not function, yet in dreams, where only |
Tx:23.44 | impossible that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining | before your vision, forever clear and never out of sight if you |
Tx:24.15 | song of honor and of love for what you are seems silent and unheard | before its “mightiness.” You strain your ears to hear its soundless |
Tx:24.27 | alone and unforgiven and yourself in sin beside him, both in misery | before the idol that can save you not. |
Tx:24.37 | all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not stand | before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them that you would keep |
Tx:24.43 | Yet think not that it looked upon your brother first, nor hated him | before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in him and love to look |
Tx:24.48 | There must be doubt | before there can be conflict. And every doubt must be about yourself. |
Tx:24.48 | your hands are His. He is within you, yet He walks beside you and | before, leading the way that He must go to find Himself complete. His |
Tx:24.49 | Before your brother's holiness the world is still and peace descends | |
Tx:24.49 | offered you that all your doubts about yourself may disappear | before his holiness. See in him God's creation. For in him, his |
Tx:24.51 | in all the universe. Nothing that God created has He failed to lay | before you lovingly as yours forever. And no thought within His Mind |
Tx:24.51 | for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you | before the world began and as He knows you still. God changes not His |
Tx:24.58 | happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear | before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love |
Tx:25.7 | the face of Christ from its beholders. And both of you stand there, | before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you |
Tx:25.14 | that it will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never brought | before? |
Tx:25.16 | Who hangs an empty frame upon a wall and stands | before it, deep in reverence, as if a masterpiece were there to see? |
Tx:25.28 | what is given him, then will he see each situation that he thought | before was means to justify his anger turned to an event which |
Tx:25.28 | his love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard | before are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave |
Tx:25.34 | revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die will disappear | before the sun you bring. |
Tx:25.35 | off because the sun in you has risen that they may be pushed away | before the light. They linger for a while, a little while, in |
Tx:25.36 | be restored to him for whom it was created as his only home? Nothing | before and nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time. |
Tx:25.38 | see the Son of God as innocent and wish him dead? Christ stands | before you both each time you look on one another. He has not gone |
Tx:25.52 | Let us go back to what we said | before and think of it more carefully. It must be so that either God |
Tx:25.57 | to an alternative, another way of looking at what he has seen | before and recognizes as the world in which he lives and thought he |
Tx:25.57 | recognizes as the world in which he lives and thought he understood | before. |
Tx:26.4 | love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to make the world recede | before his song and sight of him replace the body's eyes. |
Tx:26.16 | form you will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved | before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are little |
Tx:26.16 | are little in His sight and worth no more than just a tiny sigh | before they disappear, to be forever undone and unremembered. What |
Tx:26.28 | Forgiveness brings no little miracles to lay | before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to |
Tx:26.32 | eternity. And so is all time passed and everything exactly as it was | before the way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in |
Tx:26.33 | past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago | before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one illusion still |
Tx:26.33 | ago that it is hard indeed to hold it to your heart as if it were | before you still. |
Tx:26.35 | as if it could be made again in time. You keep an ancient memory | before your eyes. And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of |
Tx:26.47 | in miracles. And as such, the laws of healing must be understood | before the purpose of the course can be accomplished. Let us review |
Tx:27.3 | of attack upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion | before his eyes that he may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your |
Tx:27.3 | may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your blood and death and go | before him, closing off the gate and damning him to hell. Yet this is |
Tx:27.15 | true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin | before his brother's eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and |
Tx:27.18 | can never be undone. And hopelessness and death must disappear | before the ancient clarion call of life. This call has power far |
Tx:28.13 | speaks in gentle sounds of love the Son of God remembers from | before his own remembering came in between the present and the past |
Tx:28.24 | other way, begins. This final step is an effect of what has gone | before, appearing as a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving |
Tx:28.35 | who would no longer starve and would enjoy the feast of plenty set | before them there. And they will meet with your invited Guests the |
Tx:28.36 | no one is deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the Father lays | before His Son and shares it equally with him. And in Their sharing |
Tx:28.42 | if you see there is no truth in yours, his dreams will [disappear | before his eyes], and he will understand what made the dream. |
Tx:28.59 | lets his mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless | before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he |
Tx:29.16 | is to attain a state unlike the one in which you found yourself | before. There is no change in immortality, and Heaven knows it not. |
Tx:29.20 | his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior first, | before he can remember what he is. And he must save who would be |
Tx:29.22 | the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body is. | Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way |
Tx:29.54 | it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and fall | before His face like a dark veil which seems to shut you off from |
Tx:29.56 | What is an idol? Nothing! It must be believed | before it seems to come to life and given power that it may be |
Tx:29.68 | is heard which everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since | before all time began. Forgiveness, once complete, brings |
Tx:30.10 | and cannot see the question. Now you need a quick restorative | before you ask. |
Tx:30.30 | you have sought perceives your happiness. You always ask advice | before you can decide on anything. Let this be understood, and you |
Tx:30.31 | is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you want | before it can occur. It is but this agreement which permits all |
Tx:30.32 | that it will ever have. It needs but two. These two are joined | before there can be a decision. Let this be the one reminder that |
Tx:30.44 | unchanged by your forgetting. It will always be exactly as it was | before the time when you forgot and will be just the same when you |
Tx:30.63 | look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon | before the Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His |
Tx:30.83 | then in looking back you think you see another meaning in what went | before. What have you really done except to show there was no |
Tx:30.89 | For everything you see will change, and yet you thought it real | before, and now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to |
Tx:31.4 | —an enormity so great the Holy Spirit's Voice seems small and still | before its magnitude. The world began with one strange lesson, |
Tx:31.5 | made to teach. Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable | before the Voice of truth and teach you that Its lessons are not |
Tx:31.14 | Neither is true. Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both | before you can look past them to the one alternative that is a |
Tx:31.18 | Before you answer, pause to think of this: | |
Tx:31.22 | still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned | before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away |
Tx:31.22 | before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away | before the new without your opposition or intent. There will be no |
Tx:31.25 | and how it must be made. For next to you is One Who holds the light | before you so that every step is made in certainty and sureness of |
Tx:31.34 | All of them will lead to death. On some you travel gaily for a while | before the bleakness enters. And on some the thorns are felt at once. |
Tx:31.35 | where every end is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all | before you really learn they are but one. The roads this world can |
Tx:31.51 | know exactly what would happen? Could he see your future and ordain | before it came what you should do in every circumstance? He must have |
Tx:31.55 | it for him in the image of your own. While only he was treacherous | before, now must you be condemned along with him. |
Tx:31.66 | clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived | before will change the world for eyes that learn to see, because the |
Tx:31.74 | The concept of the self stands like a shield, a silent barricade | before the truth, and hides it from your sight. All things you see |
Tx:31.75 | as he beholds this One. For there is light where darkness was | before, and now the veil is lifted from his sight. |
Tx:31.87 | to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice | before, you now can make a better one and thus escape all pain which |
Tx:31.87 | can make a better one and thus escape all pain which what you chose | before has brought to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and |
Tx:31.88 | every circumstance and every place you raised an image of yourself | before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless |
Tx:31.88 | before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless | before His majesty and disappears before His holy sight. The saviors |
Tx:31.88 | the face of Christ is powerless before His majesty and disappears | before His holy sight. The saviors of the world who see like Him are |
Tx:31.91 | And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony appeared to be | before the choice for holiness was made. For in that choice are false |
Tx:31.92 | see all pain in every form wherever it occurs but disappear as mists | before the sun. A miracle has come to heal God's Son and close the |
Tx:31.93 | Deny me not the little gift I ask when in exchange I lay | before your feet the peace of God and power to bring this peace to |
Tx:31.93 | and clean and fresh you will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw | before. Yet this a vision is which you must share with everyone you |
Tx:31.94 | to our sight to lift us high above the thorny roads we traveled on | before the Christ appeared. Hear me, my brothers, hear and join with |
Tx:31.97 | “Amen.” For Christ has come to dwell in the abode You set for Him | before time was, in calm eternity. The journey closes, ending at the |
W1:6.3 | required should be preceded by a minute or so of mind searching, as | before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting thought |
W1:9.2 | for the untrained mind to believe that what seems to be pictured | before it is not there. This idea can be quite disturbing and may |
W1:10.1 | that they are not your real thoughts. We have made this distinction | before and will again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When |
W1:10.6 | The exercises consist, as | before, in searching your mind for all the thoughts which are |
W1:10.8 | experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat the idea slowly | before applying it specifically, and also to add: |
W1:16.3 | but equally unreal. We will practice this idea in many forms | before you really understand it. |
W1:25.4 | Before you can make any sense out of the exercises for today, one | |
W1:25.8 | Then move on to the next subject, and apply today's idea as | before. |
W1:30.1 | is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the world open up | before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have |
W1:30.1 | and you will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen | before. Nor will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you. |
W1:30.1 | and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor will what you saw | before be even faintly visible to you. |
W1:36.5 | and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as | before. |
W1:44.3 | purpose, we will use a form of practice which has been suggested | before and which we will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly |
W1:46.1 | because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation | before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of |
W1:51.4 | willing to do so. Is not this a better choice than the one I made | before? |
W1:52.3 | no “enemies.” And I will look with love on all that I failed to see | before. |
W1:53.6 | will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods | before Him. |
W1:54.2 | I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise | before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be |
W1:54.4 | a private world. Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared | before it could form the basis of the world I see. Yet that sharing |
W1:65.8 | to catch a few of the idle thoughts which escaped your attention | before, but do not strain or make undue effort in doing this. Then |
W1:69.2 | Today let us make another real attempt to reach the light in you. | Before we undertake this in our more extended practice period, let us |
W1:70.12 | light beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds | before you can reach the light. But remember also that you have never |
W1:73.9 | Today it is the ego which stands powerless | before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against |
W1:75.4 | single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises | before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given us, now |
W1:75.7 | the world today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it | before. You do not know yet what it looks like. You merely wait to |
W1:76.1 | We have observed | before how many senseless things have seemed to you to be salvation. |
W1:78.1 | and a miracle. Each grievance stands like a dark shield of hate | before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up before |
W1:78.1 | of hate before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up | before your eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the |
W1:78.2 | We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop | before it sees. We will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay |
W1:78.2 | see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We will not wait | before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our eyes |
W1:78.3 | lay them down, he will appear in shining light where each one stood | before. For every grievance is a block to sight, and as it lifts, you |
W1:81.2 | been given the function of lighting up the world! Let me be still | before my holiness. In its calm light, let all my conflicts |
W1:81.4 | the world shine through this appearance. This shadow will vanish | before the light. |
W1:81.5 | in this light will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous | before my sight. My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what |
W1:90.5 | time. I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse | before it can be worked out. I do not see the problem and the answer |
W1:92.1 | what you see by putting little bits of glass or other clear material | before your eyes held in a frame or placed against the eye. |
W1:92.8 | its sight, and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle | before his eyes and strength and light abiding in his heart. |
W1:96.2 | and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one | before and failing as the next one surely will. |
W1:101.3 | must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking everything away | before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are little |
W1:101.3 | the welcome boon of death to victims who are little more than bones | before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but |
W1:104.2 | which are our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited | before time was and which will still be ours when time has passed |
W1:104.7 | We clear a holy place within our minds | before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome and to |
W1:105.5 | in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less | before. It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim |
W1:109.3 | which it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth | before the eyes of you who rest in God. |
W1:R3.8 | so you undertake one in the morning and the other in the hour just | before you go to sleep. |
W1:122.5 | thankful it remains exactly as He planned it. Changelessly it stands | before you, like an open door with warmth and welcome calling from |
W1:122.6 | All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear | before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement |
W1:122.12 | Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it | |
W1:124.3 | is our eternal gift to those who follow after and to those who went | before or stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves us with the |
W1:127.9 | the legion of the future years of waiting for salvation disappears | before the timelessness of what you learn. Let us give thanks today |
W1:128.7 | you will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it | before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a |
W1:130.10 | it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen | before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you made this |
W1:131.15 | Seek for that door and find it. But | before you try to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who asks |
W1:131.15 | has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing | before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you |
W1:131.16 | you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause | before you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects |
W1:131.16 | perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the world you see | before you in the light reflects the truth you knew and did not quite |
W1:132.3 | You free the past from what you thought | before. You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what |
W1:135.17 | that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned | before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience |
W1:136.11 | planning for your own defense. And you believe that Heaven quails | before such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your |
W1:136.20 | weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you made it serve | before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has |
W1:137.7 | so healing must replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold | before the simple truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in |
W1:138.9 | Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the mind had made | before are open to correction as the truth dismisses them as |
W1:138.12 | Before we close our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice | |
W1:140.2 | awakened from the dream, and so his mind remains exactly as it was | before. He has not seen the light that would awaken him and end the |
W1:140.11 | the day begins and end the day by listening again five minutes more | before we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let our interfering |
W1:R4.12 | His Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the day again | before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you in the peace wherein He |
W1:151.7 | light of what He sees do all the ego's dreams of what you are vanish | before the splendor He beholds. |
W1:151.8 | because it rests on certainty so great that doubt is meaningless | before Its face. Christ cannot doubt Himself. The Voice of God can |
W1:151.8 | now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the body's witnesses | before the rapture of His holy face. |
W1:151.15 | Spend 15 minutes thus when you awake, and gladly give another 15 more | before you go to sleep. Your ministry begins as all your thoughts are |
W1:152.3 | that the truth is true and nothing else is true. This you have heard | before, but may not yet accept both parts of it. Without the first, |
W1:155.1 | recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you were | before. |
W1:155.8 | and nothing more. It asks that you accept the truth, and let it go | before you, lighting up the path of ransom from illusion. It is not a |
W1:155.9 | as you walk with certainty of purpose to the truth. It goes | before you now, that they may see something with which they can |
W1:155.11 | we make for everyone. We must not lose our way. For as truth goes | before us, so it goes before our brothers who will follow us. |
W1:155.11 | We must not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes | before our brothers who will follow us. |
W1:155.12 | content the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks | before us now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always |
W1:156.4 | feet. The scent of flowers is their gift to you. The waves bow down | before you, and the trees extend their arms to shield you from the |
W1:156.4 | extend their arms to shield you from the heat and lay their leaves | before you on the ground that you may walk in softness, while the |
W1:156.5 | is what the universe longs to behold. All living things are still | before you, for they recognize Who walks with you. The light you |
W1:161.1 | fail to welcome in the Christ where fear and anger had prevailed | before. Here is Atonement made complete, the world passed safely by, |
W1:162.2 | sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away | before their might. They are the trumpet of awakening that sounds |
W1:162.3 | and his body healed because he sleeps and wakens with the truth | before him always. He will save the world because he gives the world |
W1:163.2 | its sightless eyes. The frail, the helpless, and the sick bow down | before its image, thinking it alone is real, inevitable, worthy of |
W1:164.2 | The world fades easily away | before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far beyond the |
W1:164.4 | so great and so completely different from all things you sought | before that you will know that here your treasure is and here your |
W1:164.5 | true. And in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence | before your eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is |
W1:165.4 | need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be | before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. |
W1:166.5 | his so great that everything the world contains is valueless | before its magnitude. |
W1:169.8 | We have repeated several times | before that you but make a journey that is done. For oneness must be |
W1:170.9 | of your release from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing | before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to |
W1:170.9 | you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and lay | before this mindless piece of stone? Or will you make another idol to |
W1:170.12 | you made and call it god no longer. You have reached this place | before, but you have chosen that this cruel god remain with you in |
W1:R5.10 | I am made whole, we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us | before time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as |
W1:R5.12 | His extension in your own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew | before illusion seemed to claim the world. And we remind the world |
W1:R5.14 | we review but we surround with it and use the thoughts to hold it up | before our minds and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the |
W1:181.2 | to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held | before. Remove your focus on your brother's sins, and you experience |
W1:181.4 | the goals this course is advocating are from those you held | before. And you have also been dismayed by the depressing and |
W1:183.4 | meaning. No temptation but becomes a nameless and unwanted thing | before God's Name. Repeat His Name and see how easily you will forget |
W1:183.4 | you gave them. They become anonymous and valueless to you, although | before you let the Name of God replace their little names, you stood |
W1:183.4 | before you let the Name of God replace their little names, you stood | before them worshipfully, naming them as gods. |
W1:187.1 | he has. In fact, giving is proof of having. We have made this point | before. What seems to make it hard to credit is not this. No one can |
W1:187.3 | Ideas must first belong to you | before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept |
W1:187.8 | to give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure | before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself. |
W1:187.9 | The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness | before the purity that you will look on here. Be not afraid to look. |
W1:187.10 | Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. And here, | before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one thought, |
W1:189.7 | you one thought the past has taught nor one belief you ever learned | before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come |
W1:190.8 | and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and little joys give way | before the onslaught of the savage pain that waits to end all joy in |
W1:192.4 | the Word of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there | before. Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is |
W1:193.12 | Would you fail to learn the simple lessons Heaven's Teacher sets | before you that all pain may disappear and God may be remembered by |
W1:193.16 | happenings the hour brought, so that the next one is free of the one | before. The chains of time are easily unloosened in this way. |
W1:195.2 | to take the steps which He directs and follow in the way He sets | before them to escape a prison that they thought contained no door to |
W1:197.6 | you can never think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while | before He snatches them away again in death. For death will have no |
W1:198.13 | is there silence all around the world. Now is there stillness where | before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense. Now |
W1:200.3 | when you have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies | before you, through a door that opens easily to welcome you? |
W1:200.10 | of false desires, fallen from the trees of hopelessness you sought | before. Now are they underfoot. And you look up and on toward Heaven, |
W2:227.1 | reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up and lay them down | before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is |
W2:WS.2 | his mind had thought of war. There was no need for such a thought | before, for peace was given without opposite and merely was. But when |
W2:WS.3 | whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid | before it and the memory of God not far behind. |

W2:260.1 | me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again | before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my brothers |
W2:264.1 | Father, You stand | before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and |
W2:WIC.3 | rest is dreams. Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ to fade | before His glory and reveal your holy Self, the Christ, to you at |
W2:WIHS.1 | He provides are dreams all carried to the truth, to be dispelled | before the light of knowledge. There are sights and sounds forever |
W2:WIHS.1 | sights and sounds forever laid aside. And where they were perceived | before, forgiveness has made possible perception's tranquil end. |
W2:287.1 | What could be a substitute for happiness? What gift could I prefer | before the peace of God? What treasure would I seek and find and keep |
W2:293.2 | holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this world | before my eyes today. |
W2:300.1 | are the certain lot of all who come here. For their joys are gone | before they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea |
W2:305.1 | that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still | before this peace. And all the world departs in silence as this peace |
W2:320.1 | can never be denied because his Father shines upon his mind and lays | before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven. I am he to |
W2:WICR.2 | not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was | before the thought of time began. |
W2:325.1 | Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while | before he journeys on and help his brothers walk ahead with him and |
W2:WIE.2 | at the figures in its dreams, its enemies who seek to murder it | before it can ensure its safety by attacking them. |
W2:WIE.4 | of God is offered daily at its darkened shrine and blood must flow | before the altar where its sickly followers prepare to die. |
W2:WIM.2 | its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside-down | before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. |
W2:WIM.3 | offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid | before the Word of God upon the universal altar to Creator and |
W2:WIM.4 | in it and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw | before—a world redeemed from what you thought you saw. |
W2:342.1 | I have reached the door beyond which lies the end of dreams. I stand | before the gate of Heaven, wondering if I should enter in and be at |
W2:WAI.5 | Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open | before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God. |
W2:E.2 | as certain of arriving home as is the pathway of the sun laid down | before it rises, after it has set, and in the half-lit hours in |
M:1.3 | any place or time or manner. It does not matter who the teacher was | before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He |
M:2.4 | together in the present, finding each other as if they had not met | before. The pupil comes at the right time to the right place. This is |
M:3.5 | for life. Yet should they decide to learn it, the perfect lesson is | before them and can be learned. And if they decide to learn that |
M:4.4 | in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God are laid | before him? What is it that induces them to make the shift? |
M:4.6 | it. He will find that many if not most of the things he valued | before will merely hinder his ability to transfer what he has learned |
M:4.8 | mighty companions beside him. Now he rests a while and gathers them | before going on. He will not go on from here alone. |
M:4.10 | that learning is consolidated. Now what was seen as merely shadows | before becomes solid gains, to be counted on in all “emergencies” as |
M:4.16 | God's teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher goes | before them, making sure no harm can come to them. They hold His |
M:4.24 | formerly. Nothing but sparkles now which seemed so dull and lifeless | before. And above all are all things welcoming, for threat is gone. |
M:6.2 | Where healing has been given, it will be received. And what is time | before the gifts of God? We have referred many times in the text to |
M:8.6 | others, and the body's eyes will report their changed appearances as | before. But the mind will put them all in one category—they are |
M:11.4 | turns hell to Heaven merely by being what it is? The earth bows down | before its gracious Presence, and it leans down in answer to raise it |
M:13.1 | can finally disappear. The first illusion, which must be displaced | before another thought system can take hold, is that it is a |
M:16.1 | set and sees the road on which he walks stretch surely and smoothly | before him. |
M:16.5 | early in the evening if it is not feasible for you to take it just | before going to sleep. It is not wise to lie down for it. It is |
M:16.5 | come to some conclusions in this respect. If possible, however, just | before going to sleep is a desirable time to devote to God. It sets |
M:16.7 | the teacher of God who has accepted His protection! All that he did | before in the name of safety no longer interests him. For he is safe |
M:16.7 | difficulty in resolving them. He is as safe in the present as he was | before illusions were accepted into his mind and as he will be when |
M:19.3 | about the past stem from injustice. Here is the lens which, held | before the body's eyes, distorts perception and brings witness of the |
M:19.5 | it is entirely impartial. It accepts all evidence that is brought | before it, omitting nothing and assessing nothing as separate and |
M:20.2 | unlike all previous experiences. It calls to mind nothing that went | before. It brings with it no past associations. It is a new thing |
M:22.2 | teacher of God may have accepted the function God has given him long | before he has learned all that his acceptance holds out to him. It is |
M:27.1 | losing vitality, and dying in the end? We have asked this question | before, but now we need to consider it still more carefully. It is |
M:28.6 | because he let God's Voice proclaim the truth. And all he sought | before to crucify are resurrected with him, by his side as he |

C:P.10 | of your brothers and sisters is what the world is for. To stop | before this is accomplished when it is in reach is every bit as |
C:P.14 | awaken to the same world, a world that seems a little more sane than | before but still governed by insanity, a world in which it seems |
C:P.14 | you see changed within your world is a little less insanity than | before, then you have not awakened but still are caught in the |
C:P.27 | Those who believe the story have accepted that Jesus was God's son | before he was born, while he walked the earth, and after he died and |
C:P.35 | form, but by giving a true rather than a false picture of power. | Before the coming of the word made flesh, the incarnation, the only |
C:P.43 | You were your Self | before you began your learning, and the ego cannot take your Self |
C:1.9 | ready to lead. She does not strike out on her own at the beginning, | before she knows the way. There is no shame in learning. No shame in |
C:2.9 | thought process and the world you perceive must be made known to you | before you are willing to give it up. You do know this, and yet you |
C:2.13 | Reverse this thought and see if it makes any more sense than it did | before. In this scenario a benevolent and loving God who has extended |
C:2.19 | Without your vigilance it may even seem to have become stronger than | before and fiercer in its criticism. It pretends to hold you to new |
C:2.22 | upon a hallowed ground where neutrality will for a short time reign | before peace breaks out with glad rejoicing. |
C:3.5 | All that you now see are but symbols of what is really there | before you, in glory beyond your deepest imaginings. Yet you persist |
C:3.10 | provable. The birth of an idea is thus the result of what has come | before, of seeing something old as new, of improving on a former |
C:3.11 | it together so that it will provide an improvement to what has been | before. You look for evidence that shows that if you behave in a |
C:3.13 | you accepted that you can learn in a way that you have not learned | before. Thus we move from head to heart to take advantage of your |
C:4.2 | must be brought to light and there seen as the nothing that they are | before you can love for love's sake. What is a false idol? What you |
C:4.6 | long march toward death. Recognize who you are and God's light goes | before you, illuminating every path and shining away the fog of |
C:5.7 | beginning now to paint you a new picture, a picture of things unseen | before but visible to your heart if not your eyes. Your heart knows |
C:6.1 | Joining rests on forgiveness. This you have heard | before without understanding what it is you would forgive. You must |
C:6.1 | cannot be alone. You must forgive God for creating a shared reality | before you can understand it is the only one you would want to have. |
C:6.12 | live for, with the undying hope that it will not be that which came | before. For every challenge faced is but a call to face the next. And |
C:6.13 | and new reason to exist awaits. The carrot of fulfillment you hold | before yourself when grasped is quickly eaten and life feeds on |
C:6.21 | will embrace, but thoughts of resurrection and new life you still | before they have a chance at birth and call them wishful thinking. |
C:7.1 | A major thought reversal is required now | before we can go on. It has been stated and emphasized countless |
C:7.1 | we can go on. It has been stated and emphasized countless times | before, and it will be here as well: What you give you will receive |
C:8.18 | element of your existence, you are perhaps more aware than ever | before of being in a particular place and time. As you stand back and |
C:9.5 | is, really, who might have seen a use for a body such as yours | before it was created? What kind of creator would create it and for |
C:9.8 | as you have done this, you can undo this. This is the choice set | before you—to go on believing in the illusion you have made, or to |
C:9.9 | to let lead you to this strange world. You travel lightly now where | before you walked in chains. You travel now with a companion who |
C:9.12 | As stated | before, what is most useful to us now is your perception of your |
C:9.15 | nor to protect would exist without the layer of fear that comes | before it. |
C:9.34 | your Father. You would prove to God that you can “make a go of it” | before you would ask Him for His help. |
C:9.50 | be if you would but attempt for one day to replace use with union! | Before you can begin, however, we must expand on the lessons you are |
C:10.3 | embrace and others that you do not understand and would wait awhile | before implementing. What you truly do not understand is wholeness. |
C:10.14 | seem to prove this fact as you look back and say even Jesus died | before he could rise again as spirit. |
C:10.15 | the earth I was a body, or do you believe that I was the Son of God | before I was born into human form, during the time I existed in human |
C:10.17 | have led to this situation or event?” For choice is always involved | before the fact. Nothing happens to the Son of God by accident. This |
C:10.20 | of happiness and say how glad it is that it came to its senses | before it was too late. |
C:10.24 | hear our thoughts—it is the nature of thought.” But have you ever | before considered the nature of your thoughts, or have you merely |
C:10.27 | a desk in a building with many others. You will realize how seldom | before you were aware of the street you walked down, of the buildings |
C:11.3 | in to conquer this new territory as you have others that have come | before. These would read each book as quickly as they can, with |
C:11.3 | teach and rush on to the next. Those of you less confident may quit | before you begin in order to keep from failing one more time. Even |
C:11.10 | This right to make your own decisions, and the power to flaunt them | before God, is all that makes your little separated self feel |
C:11.13 | line of defense, the site where the final battle will take place. | Before this final battle is reached your willingness to change your |
C:11.14 | with a temporary choice, though a lasting choice will be required | before you will feel the shift of cause and quit worrying about |
C:12.2 | text to tell you love is the answer, as if it has not been said | before. This message was preached long ago and still the world |
C:12.4 | We have said | before the only meaning possible for your free will is your choice of |
C:12.17 | An idea, birthed one day, does not seem to have been there the day | before. Perhaps it is the idea of taking a trip or having a baby, of |
C:12.20 | the idea of separation came the idea of an external aspect of life. | Before the idea of the separation, there was no such thing—and |
C:14.12 | at the cost of pain and to leave you more alone and comfortless than | before. How could this be said of love? And how could it have failed |
C:14.13 | it was quite real in a way that is different from your relationships | before or since. No other relationship affected you in such a way. |
C:14.15 | this desire pride or security, or even accept that it is vanity, | before you would call it fear. But fear is what it is. |
C:14.28 | result only of that which does discard and replace. As we have said | before, there are but two emotions. One is love, the other fear. |
C:14.28 | you feel may be threatened. Love threatens most your specialness. | Before your conscious mind has any awareness of what is happening, |
C:15.12 | it both ways, give up your fantasy and realize that real choice lies | before you. No, this is not an easy choice, or it would have been |
C:16.15 | While you claim you need proof | before you can believe or accept something as a fact or as the truth, |
C:16.15 | believe or accept something as a fact or as the truth, and certainly | before you can act upon it, you live as if you believe that what has |
C:16.15 | act upon it, you live as if you believe that what has never worked | before will somehow miraculously work in the future. You have nothing |
C:17.12 | you can reverse or “turn back” to the state in which you existed | before the original error, then you never shall. |
C:18.6 | it as what it is, a learning device given you by a loving creator. | Before the idea of separation, there was no need for learning. But a |
C:18.7 | This is the error birthed by perception, | before which there was no possibility of misinterpretation, because |
C:18.11 | from separation, however, each must experience unity individually | before their belief system can be changed, even when what is learned |
C:18.12 | of time, and thus it seems that great amounts of time are needed | before change of a lasting nature can occur. This is why miracles |
C:18.16 | is but the Source in which all exist as one mind. To say this to you | before we loosened some of your perceptions about the supremacy of |
C:18.22 | of the body to stimulus, we did not speak of this stimulus itself. | Before we do so, we must clarify further the function of the body as |
C:19.15 | experiences of others. Yet, in the case of coming to know what lies | before you now—coming to know your own Self—it is obvious that |
C:19.18 | which you ask is what is in need of adjustment and thus of training | before you can be aware of the answer you will receive. It is clear |
C:19.20 | We are on the home stretch and all you long for is nearer than ever | before. To talk of going “back” will undoubtedly make you feel |
C:19.20 | will in any way resemble the “going back” that you have tried to do | before. While it is, in a sense, a request to review your life, it is |
C:19.20 | review your life, it is the last such review that will be required | before letting the past go completely. All your previous attempts to |
C:19.21 | a passing glance of compassion, the merest moment of reflection, | before it will dissipate and show a new reflection. |
C:19.23 | your mind, and your perception, can be changed. This is necessary | before you can look back in a new way and not simply cover the same |
C:20.1 | burning in your heart quite different from that which you have felt | before. Your heart may even feel as if it is stretching outward, |
C:20.35 | You have not | before now been able to even imagine knowing what you do. You hope to |
C:20.43 | you will receive from them is far grander than anything you would | before have wished to take from them. |
C:20.46 | Before you begin to resist the notion that you could have anything to | |
C:22.22 | quickly with an intimacy with your surroundings that you never felt | before. |
C:23.19 | the spark that allows you to conceive of what never was conceived of | before. This spark is inspiration, the infusion of spirit. Taking the |
C:24.4 | compassion. The time of tenderness is thus the final learning ground | before accomplishment is complete. The learning that occurs during |
C:25.25 | while taking the time for discernment is uncommon. Putting action | before stillness, activity before rest, is seen as synonymous with a |
C:25.25 | discernment is uncommon. Putting action before stillness, activity | before rest, is seen as synonymous with a full life. We must, |
C:26.1 | very far, had few possessions or influential friends. We have talked | before of the tragedy you feel when anyone dies young. You each have |
C:26.7 | No fear is greater than the fear of meaninglessness. And, as stated | before, the quest for meaning is how you have described your purpose |
C:26.9 | Your reliance on these scenes and memories must be broken | before my words can reach your mind and begin to replace these scenes |
C:26.11 | not lost. It does not require you to define it or put a name to it | before it can be yours. Is this not what you have cried about in |
C:27.11 | Heaven to Earth. Although these are complementary goals, as stated | before, these are goals that you cannot accomplish “on your own” or |
C:27.19 | the “right” thing to do without knowing the details of what came | before and what was to come? Sometimes you have acted on this |
C:28.6 | learning both. It is the time of planting and of harvest that comes | before the time of rest. It is the time of celebration that comes |
C:28.6 | before the time of rest. It is the time of celebration that comes | before the quiet and the settling of the dusk. |
C:28.11 | and inspired to act and yet awkward in your actions. We have spoken | before of the desire to create that may arise as you begin to enter |
C:29.9 | can open it once again. It is a gate of illusion, of mist, of clouds | before the sun. Your hand is outstretched now and your light is |
C:29.9 | your light is clearing away the mist. The gateway to unity stands | before you, an arch of golden light beneath a rainbow vibrant with |
C:29.16 | created all notions of distrust, starting with—as we have stated | before—your ideas of using the very body you call your home rather |
C:29.18 | The choice to change your belief is | before you. Are you not ready to make it? |
C:29.19 | that unity was a choice prevented you from making this choice | before now. Now I tell you clearly, the choice is yours. Choose once |
T1:2.16 | It may signal many things ranging from a desire to get safely home | before it is dark, to a desire to eat an evening meal. It signals |
T1:3.5 | it truly is otherwise, or based on a wisdom other than what has come | before. |
T1:3.9 | You will almost feel panic at the thought of such a choice being put | before you. If you will agree to choose a miracle at all, which many |
T1:4.20 | uniquely you. But you must give up your penchant for interpretation | before you can learn to respond. I realize that this will concern you |
T1:10.7 | up all that would take peace from you. But as you have been told | before, you will be giving up nothing. It will seem as if it is so |
T2:1.11 | creator who creates with thought unlike to any thoughts you have had | before. Your thoughts of a grand piano will never create a grand |
T2:2.7 | could be considered unexplainable. Those who seek an explanation | before following a calling, who look for reasons of a practical |
T2:4.1 | but life in all its aspects. It is life beyond death as well as life | before birth and life during your time here. It is all one because it |
T2:9.2 | and words that would be inconceivable to you in the state of unity | before you left it. Now, they are just tools, as are many other means |
T2:11.15 | good and evil, while you believe in it still, will be demonstrated | before you just as it has been from time immemorial. Is this what you |
T3:1.12 | parts hidden, a Self with no parts in truth, is the task that I set | before you and am here to help you fulfill. I can do this because I |
T3:4.3 | Before we can go on you must take all such ideas from your mind. Such | |
T3:4.7 | been seen as the rise and fall of civilizations. But as we have said | before, the only replacement that will work is the replacement of |
T3:4.8 | not. This A Course of Love has accomplished. Now the choice is | before you to do one of two things: to proceed toward love or fear. |
T3:5.1 | which has become familiar, if not known). While few of you have ever | before reached the emptiness caused by the complete absence of the |
T3:8.3 | resistance is the reason you have been taken on such a long journey | before we ever once talked of an idea as crucial as that of |
T3:8.4 | place still believes in its own history and that of those who came | before it. These beliefs hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you |
T3:8.5 | are the beliefs that would say that you, and all of those who came | before you, have been falsely made to suffer, a suffering for which |
T3:9.3 | within the house of illusion and call them what you called them once | before. But here you will find yourself gently corrected and when |
T3:9.5 | be held within illusion no more. This was the work of many who came | before you but the time of such work, for you, is past. Many remain |
T3:10.4 | You will be surprised at how many times you recognize blame where | before you saw it not, just as in the beginning you did not recognize |
T3:10.6 | lessons of old, they will not be repeats of lessons that have come | before. They will not be lessons that you find difficult or |
T3:12.2 | self is a step in the chain of consciousness. The steps that came | before that of the personal self did not come within time. The |
T3:12.2 | with the creation of the personal self. Because the steps that came | before that of the personal self did not come in time, they are |
T3:12.4 | to an eternal state of consciousness. This change, as has been said | before, is the miracle. This miracle is the goal toward which we now |
T3:12.8 | in the realm of physicality. You were not “better” or more “right” | before this choice was made than you are now. You made a choice |
T3:14.8 | uncertainty that will make you fear the matters of choice that lie | before you. But this choice is not the choice of continuous decision |
T3:15.8 | ego, special relationships too have breathed their last. As I said | before, these will seem to be remedial lessons. What they are, in |
T3:15.11 | of the ego to the thought system of the truth. As we have said | before, it is impossible to learn the new with the thought system of |
T3:16.4 | like and while its limitations may seem even more frustrating than | before, I am also confident in saying that a hope has been instilled |
T3:16.5 | We spoke once | before within A Course of Love of your impatience and of this Course |
T3:17.4 | As has been said | before, time is a measurement of the “time” it takes for learning to |
T3:17.4 | thought system of the physical, a thought system that was not needed | before there was physical form. The creation story of Adam and Eve, |
T3:18.8 | seem at first as if you are asked to deny the facts that you see | before you in order to observe something other than what is there. |
T3:18.9 | eyes will learn to observe only the truth, even unto seeing what | before but seemed unobservable. |
T3:20.1 | every thought and action will have effect, and the choices that lie | before you will be choices of where your thoughts and actions will |
T3:20.7 | in positive outcomes. You listen to statistics of what has occurred | before and in similar situations, and you believe in what the |
T4:1.11 | The choice that lies | before you now concerns what it is you would come to know. The |
T4:1.13 | and has been possible, are you to look on all of those who have come | before you as failures? Has the seed of the future lain dormant in |
T4:1.13 | make you believe it could come to be now when it didn't come to be | before? |
T4:1.17 | between this time and the time that has but seemed to have gone | before has already been stated as the difference between the time of |
T4:1.25 | They are in the desperate throes of wanting to experience everything | before they allow themselves to directly experience the truth, |
T4:1.25 | of the truth will exclude much that they would want to try | before they give into its pull and settle there. But all have become |
T4:2.4 | There was no Way or path or process back to God and Self | before me. It was the time of man wandering in the wilderness. I came |
T4:2.7 | But | before we can proceed forward, I must return to and dispel any |
T4:2.7 | dispel any illusion you may have of superiority over those who came | before. That those who came before did not become aware of their true |
T4:2.7 | have of superiority over those who came before. That those who came | before did not become aware of their true nature does not mean that |
T4:2.8 | while ideas such as more and better remain in you. As I have said | before, this is not about evolution unless you wish to speak of |
T4:2.8 | a process of evolution that has made you better than those who came | before, you are carrying judgment. While you continue to believe that |
T4:2.15 | you were a child, and there in all the years since then, and there | before you began your learning of this Course. Your awareness of the |
T4:3.15 | fulfilled. It is you who have chosen the means. Now a new choice is | before you. |
T4:4.4 | Even | before the planet reached the state of over-population, this idea was |
T4:5.1 | many of you believed that I was the Son of God and more than a man | before my birth, during my lifetime and after my death and |
T4:5.1 | and after my death and resurrection, so are you. So are all who came | before me and all who came after me. All that being a Son of God |
T4:6.7 | the nature of the human being any more than have those who have come | before. The changes those who have existed in Christ-consciousness |
T4:7.3 | must realize the many choices that will seem to lie | before you and your brothers and sisters in this time. The |
T4:8.4 | Let us dwell again, for just a moment | before we let this dwelling in the past go forever, on what has “gone |
T4:8.9 | drive to fulfill its purpose, like a drive to explore the ocean | before knowing how to swim or the drive to explore new lands while |
T4:12.15 | is over. Grow not impatient or desirous of a return to journeying | before you begin to experience the joy of sharing and the new |
T4:12.19 | in order to realize some bit of knowledge that you feel is necessary | before you can go on. But I ask you to try to remember to turn to the |
T4:12.31 | you to adapt to the truth of a sharing you will have received even | before it is communicated through the means to which you are |
T4:12.32 | in form are yet to be revealed and shared. This is the time that is | before us, the time of creation of the future, the time of the |
T4:12.33 | This time is | before us. Because you are a being still existing in form, you still |
T4:12.33 | that reveals our lack of separation is part of the creation that is | before us. It will be mutually decided through the coming revelations |
D:1.3 | “see” the pattern of the personal self going forth much as it did | before. You do not “see” the new, the new Self of elevated form or |
D:3.13 | of who you are is different than helping you to learn. As was said | before, you know what you need to know. What we seek to achieve |
D:4.23 | claim in order for it to be your own. An authority you must claim | before your externally structured life can become an internally |
D:5.11 | join with the truth, your representation, in the new time that is | before us, will be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this |
D:5.22 | willingness exceed your trepidation. No longer wait to be told more | before you accept what you have already been told. Do not wait for a |
D:5.22 | what you have already been told. Do not wait for a grander call | before you accept the call that has already sounded in your heart. |
D:6.9 | In the Bible there were many stories about miracles, both | before and after the time in which I lived. If you were to pose to a |
D:6.16 | Be jubilant rather than hesitant about the time of discovery that is | before you. Calling what you think you know into question is not a |
D:7.3 | learning in separation, unity had to be experienced individually | before learning could be shared at another level, and that levels are |
D:8.2 | no learning is needed. Ah, you might say now, this you have heard | before. This idea of no longer needing to learn has intrigued you |

D:12.11 | your ego is still at work because you still think in the same way as | before. I am about to make the two main points of this discussion: |
D:12.17 | crazy or impossible to you, you may become more aware than ever | before that what I have said about your way of thinking being insane |

D:14.3 | why the key to unlocking the secrets of all you might want to know | before beginning the creation of the new are the ideas we have just |
D:14.3 | this exploration and discovery needs to be invited and experienced | before you become partners in the creation of the new. |
D:15.1 | Before creation of the new can begin, you must come to know the way | |
D:15.6 | of wholeness: Movement, being, expression. One did not occur | before the other, as they are not separate. There was movement into |
D:15.6 | into being and an expression of being. But what was there to move | before there was being? This is the way the mind looks at principles, |
D:15.6 | must be seen as the undivided wholeness of the principle of unity | before creation of the new can begin. |
D:15.7 | use the creation story of what was once my tradition as an example. | Before God “said” anything, a mighty wind swept over the wasteland |
D:15.10 | Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren form | before movement swept across it and animated it with the attention |
D:16.1 | Barren forms might be seen as forms that existed | before the onset of the state of becoming. You are now in the final |

D:17.6 | glory is realized. But the desire, the desire is stronger than ever | before. |

D:17.12 | But your desire has not left you. Your desire is stronger than ever | before. |
D:17.15 | you. But your desire is still with you. It is stronger than ever | before. |
D:17.24 | Desire calls here, louder and stronger than ever | before, because of your proximity to what you have desired. Every |

D:Day3.39 | an answer that “came to you” through no process you had known | before. We spoke of this as thoughts you did not think. We spoke of |

D:Day4.23 | You needed to first know yourself as a being existing in union | before you could know anything else with the certainty you seek, for |

D:Day4.52 | I have not so directly linked fear and the time of learning | before, but now you need to see their connection, for if you do not, |
D:Day4.56 | This choice has come | before you might have expected it to. It does not come at the end but |
D:Day4.58 | nostalgia for the way things were. These things will not leave you | before you leave them. But you will leave them. |
D:Day6.3 | Before we can continue to expand on your awareness of the difference | |
D:Day8.16 | of certainty will cause you to be even less certain than you were | before. You will be less certain in your judgments and opinions, but |

D:Day1.18 | beyond form. Adam and Eve represent what occurred within you at the | beginning of the story of your creation. I represent what occurred |
D:Day1.20 | The New Testament was the | beginning of the new. My life represented fulfillment of scripture, |

D:Day4.58 | Here is the | beginning point from which we continue to burn away the remnants of |

Tx:5.8 | Thoughts increase by | being given away. The more who believe in them, the stronger they |
Tx:5.11 | which senses the knowledge that lies beyond perception. It came into | being with the separation as a protection, inspiring the beginning of |
Tx:5.33 | The Holy Spirit is the idea of healing. | Being thought, the idea gains as it is shared. Being the Call for |
Tx:5.33 | idea of healing. Being thought, the idea gains as it is shared. | Being the Call for God, it is also the idea of God. Since you |
Tx:5.33 | the Universe of which it is a part. Therefore, it is strengthened by | being given away. It increases in you as you give it to your |
Tx:5.35 | to hear it. Will itself is an idea and is therefore strengthened by | being shared. If you make the mistake of looking for the Holy Spirit |
Tx:5.56 | Ideas do not leave the mind which thought them to have a separate | being, nor do separate thoughts conflict with one another in space, |
Tx:5.56 | them in the light of the Kingdom, making them, too, worthy of | being shared. When they have been sufficiently purified, He lets you |
Tx:5.58 | as strong as the wisdom of God, in Whose heart and hands we have our | being. His quiet Children are His blessed Sons. The thoughts of God |
Tx:5.64 | learn to regard it as freedom. The guiltless mind cannot suffer. | Being sane, it heals the body because it has been healed. The sane |
Tx:5.76 | is easily explained if you remember that ideas increase only by | being shared. This quotation therefore emphasizes the fact that |
Tx:5.88 | fixation remained and could never be eliminated by any living human | being. Essentially, this was the basis of Freud's pessimism, |
Tx:5.89 | on a level so high that it cannot be surmounted. You are always | being pulled back to your Creator, because you belong to Him. |
Tx:5.91 | has not learned that every mind God created is equally worthy of | being healed because God created it whole. You are merely asked to |
Tx:6.6 | You have reacted for years as if you were | being crucified. This is a marked tendency of the separated ones, who |
Tx:6.11 | offer to defend me with the sword, which I naturally refused, not | being at all in need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my |
Tx:6.39 | are not ordinarily regarded as the same. We began with having and | being and more recently have used others. Hearing and being are |
Tx:6.39 | having and being and more recently have used others. Hearing and | being are examples, to which we can also add teaching and being, |
Tx:6.39 | and being are examples, to which we can also add teaching and | being, learning and being and, above all, projecting and being. |
Tx:6.39 | examples, to which we can also add teaching and being, learning and | being and, above all, projecting and being. This is because, as we |
Tx:6.39 | and being, learning and being and, above all, projecting and | being. This is because, as we have said before, every idea begins in |
Tx:6.39 | here, even though the ego does not know and is not concerned with | being at all. |
Tx:6.40 | He presents no barrier at all to the communication of God. Thus, | being is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. |
Tx:6.44 | through the conviction of teaching. Remember that, if teaching is | being and learning is being, [then] teaching is learning. |
Tx:6.44 | of teaching. Remember that, if teaching is being and learning is | being, [then] teaching is learning. Everything you teach, you are |
Tx:6.51 | asked. Having finally been wholly answered, it has never been. | Being alone lives in the Kingdom, where everything lives in God |
Tx:6.52 | only the ability for certainty. The introduction of abilities into | being was the beginning of uncertainty because abilities are |
Tx:6.56 | did not blot it out, because to eradicate it would be to attack it. | Being questioned, He did not question. He merely gave the Answer. His |
Tx:6.65 | The Holy Spirit, who leads to God, translates communication into | being, just as He ultimately translates perception into knowledge. |
Tx:6.73 | the first lesson seems to contain a contradiction since it is | being learned by a conflicted mind. This means conflicting |
Tx:6.73 | ego in himself and responding primarily to the ego in others, he is | being taught to react to both as if what he does believe is not |
Tx:6.83 | is because they are in fundamental disagreement about everything, | being in fundamental disagreement about what you are. The ego's |
Tx:6.89 | God. He is getting you ready for the translation of having into | being by the very nature of the steps you must take with Him. |
Tx:6.93 | It is only your awareness which needs protection since your | being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of being cannot be |
Tx:6.93 | since your being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of | being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you are. |
Tx:6.93 | what you are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts about | being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are |
Tx:7.3 | to love. Love extends outward simply because it cannot be contained. | Being limitless, it does not stop. It creates forever, but not in |
Tx:7.6 | know yourself, since by it you know what you are. This is your | being. |
Tx:7.14 | There is only certainty. God and His Sons, in the surety of | being, know that what you project you are. That form of the law |
Tx:7.14 | you project you are. That form of the law is not adapted at all, | being the law of creation. God Himself created the law by creating |
Tx:7.24 | lesson and applies it to all individuals in all situations. | Being conflict-free, He maximizes all efforts and all results. By |
Tx:7.27 | The ego, then, is always | being undone and does suspect your motives. Your mind cannot be |
Tx:7.29 | Reality is yours, because you are reality. This is how having and | being are ultimately reconciled, not in the Kingdom, but in your |
Tx:7.36 | of healing. Healing is the way to undo the belief in differences, | being the only way of perceiving the Sonship without this belief. |
Tx:7.38 | is nothing else. God is all in all in a very literal sense. All | being is in Him who is all Being. You are therefore in Him since |
Tx:7.38 | all in all in a very literal sense. All being is in Him who is all | Being. You are therefore in Him since your being is His. |
Tx:7.38 | in Him who is all Being. You are therefore in Him since your | being is His. Healing is a way of forgetting the sense of danger |
Tx:7.38 | needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the Sonship, | being what the Sonship is. By your awakening to it, you are |
Tx:7.46 | your self from your Creator, Who created you by sharing His | being with you. |
Tx:7.55 | it cannot perceive itself as loving. This loses the awareness of | being, induces feelings of unreality, and results in utter confusion. |
Tx:7.64 | understand is up to you to decide. The ego believes this totally, | being fully committed to it. It is not true. The ego therefore is |
Tx:7.65 | be perceived with meaning only by the Holy Spirit, because your | being is the knowledge of God. Any belief that you accept which is |
Tx:7.66 | believing that it can be understood and is therefore capable of | being appreciated and loved. That would justify it, and it cannot |
Tx:7.69 | it is God's, and nothing that opposes this means anything at all. | Being a perfect accomplishment, the Sonship can only accomplish |
Tx:7.71 | in this world. Yet denial is a defense, and so it is as capable of | being used positively as it is of being used destructively. Used |
Tx:7.71 | and so it is as capable of being used positively as it is of | being used destructively. Used negatively it will be destructive |
Tx:7.75 | the gift you both have and are, and so you do not know your | being. All confusion comes from not extending life, since that is |
Tx:7.79 | Being the part of your mind which does not believe it is responsible | |
Tx:7.79 | your mind which does not believe it is responsible for itself and | being without allegiance to God, the ego is incapable of trust. |
Tx:7.90 | doubt as it is beyond belief. Your wholeness has no limits, because | being is in infinity. |
Tx:7.91 | partiality, and it therefore responds as if it were the part that is | being sided against. To the Soul, this is truth, because it knows |
Tx:7.92 | is given all His power, because it is part of Him and shares His | Being with Him. Creating is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the |
Tx:7.92 | is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the opposite of sacrifice. | Being must be extended. That is how it retains the knowledge of |
Tx:7.93 | The Soul yearns to share its | being as its Creator did. Created by sharing, its will is to |
Tx:7.93 | is to create. It does not wish to contain God but to extend His | Being. The extension of God's Being is the Soul's only function. |
Tx:7.93 | to contain God but to extend His Being. The extension of God's | Being is the Soul's only function. Its fullness cannot be contained |
Tx:7.93 | reality than your unawareness of your Soul can interfere with its | being. |
Tx:7.95 | whenever you will let Him. They are there as part of your own | being, because your fulfillment includes them. The creations of |
Tx:7.95 | every Son of God are yours since every creation belongs to everyone, | being created for the Sonship as a whole. |
Tx:7.106 | are denying joy. The miracle is therefore a lesson in what joy is. | Being a lesson in sharing, it is a lesson in love, which is joy. |
Tx:7.107 | and is therefore natural. The world goes against your nature, | being out of accord with God's laws. The world perceives orders of |
Tx:7.113 | any more than you can establish God's. But you can know both. | Being is known by sharing. Because God shared His Being with you, |
Tx:7.113 | can know both. Being is known by sharing. Because God shared His | Being with you, you can know Him. But you must also know all He |
Tx:8.17 | its accomplishment, because God's Will cannot be forced upon you, | being an experience of total willingness. The Holy Spirit knows how |
Tx:8.17 | as God shares them, because this is the natural outcome of their | being. |
Tx:8.25 | be refusing to acknowledge His Will. His Will does not vacillate, | being changeless forever. When you are not at peace, it can only be |
Tx:8.27 | to unite the will of the Sonship with the Will of the Father by | being aware of the Father's Will myself. This is the awareness I came |
Tx:8.32 | dominion of one will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all | being the Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I came to |
Tx:8.34 | Freedom is the only gift you can offer to God's Sons, | being an acknowledgment of what they are and what He is. Freedom |
Tx:8.36 | whose power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not | being separate, the Will of God is established in ours and as |
Tx:8.36 | undivided. The undivided will of the Sonship is the perfect creator, | being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it is. You cannot |
Tx:8.50 | of the value He puts upon you. My devotion to you is of Him, | being born of my knowledge of myself and Him. We cannot be |
Tx:8.50 | His Sons with Himself. Can you be separated from your life and your | being? |
Tx:8.54 | Holy Spirit interprets the body only as a means of communication. | Being the communication link between God and His separated Sons, the |
Tx:8.60 | His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must become depressed. | Being faced with an impossible learning situation, regardless of why |
Tx:8.70 | inferior is that they may well be inaccurate. Functions are part of | being since they arise from it, but the relationship is not |
Tx:8.77 | that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is | being and the ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no being. |
Tx:8.79 | life under the guidance of the one Teacher Who knows what life is, | being the Voice for Life Itself. |
Tx:8.86 | which should be taken literally because the Bible is about love, | being about God. |
Tx:8.100 | of a request. The Holy Spirit is not concerned with form at all, | being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit for |
Tx:8.100 | everything of the Holy Spirit because your requests are real, | being of your will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And |
Tx:8.117 | have. What you give is therefore the value you put on what you have, | being the exact measure of the value you put upon it. And this, in |
Tx:9.6 | You will not escape paying the price for this, not because you are | being punished for it, but because you are following the wrong guide |
Tx:9.28 | he cannot bring light of himself, for light is not of him. Yet, | being for him, it must also be for his patient. The Holy Spirit is |
Tx:9.29 | work. Nothing else works at all. This course is a guide to behavior. | Being a very direct and very simple learning situation, it provides |
Tx:9.37 | Eternity is one time, its only dimension | being “always.” This cannot mean anything to you, however, until you |
Tx:9.53 | awareness since both are untrue and are therefore on the same level. | Being the level of shift, it is experienced as shifting, and extremes |
Tx:9.58 | in littleness with His own exalted answer to the question of your | being, so that you can cease to question it and know it for what it |
Tx:9.61 | exceed your will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, | being in God, you encompass everything. Believe this, and you |
Tx:9.66 | that reality is in accord with neither? You do not remember | being awake. When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely feel better |
Tx:9.67 | Dreams will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and | being at last your will, it will be yours. |
Tx:9.100 | to acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you lies your | Being. You are not sick, and you cannot die. But you can confuse |
Tx:10.11 | that you will to create since your will follows from His. And | being an extension of His Will, yours must be the same. |
Tx:10.16 | and Son because he is both Father and Son. To unite having and | being is only to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. |
Tx:10.18 | will seem to be unintegrated and therefore without meaning. And | being without meaning to you, you will not understand it. To deny |
Tx:10.23 | there is no conflict in Him. Conflict is the root of all evil, for | being blind, it does not see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks |
Tx:10.44 | results is merely to recognize that their source is not natural, | being out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to |
Tx:10.70 | he is separate. Yet they are eternal because they are loving. And | being loving, they are like the Father and therefore cannot die. The |
Tx:10.82 | His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by His | Being. |
Tx:10.84 | in God's Son, for thereby you must be deceived in yourself. And | being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your Father in Whom |
Tx:11.38 | obvious that no one wants to find what would utterly defeat him. | Being unable to love, the ego would be totally inadequate in love's |
Tx:11.59 | Every Child of God is one in Christ, for his | Being is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is |
Tx:11.60 | in perfect love of God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and | being in God, it must also be in you. |
Tx:11.62 | it must be there. By perceiving what it does, you recognize its | being. And by what it does, you learn what it is. You cannot |
Tx:11.80 | minds and cannot be obliterated. It is no more past than future, | being forever always. |
Tx:11.83 | a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who share God's | Being with Him could never be content without reality. What God did |
Tx:11.84 | perception is capable of error, and perception has never been. | Being corrected, it gives place to knowledge, which is forever the |
Tx:11.85 | the mind that judges perceives itself as separate from the mind | being judged, believing that by punishing another, it will escape |
Tx:11.93 | prison he has made, and the way to find release is not denied him. | Being in him, he has found it. When he finds it is only a |
Tx:11.94 | know that you are God's Son. You have denied the condition of his | Being, which is his perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was |
Tx:11.95 | no time to travel through. For God waits not for His Son in time, | being forever unwilling to be without him. And so it has always been. |
Tx:11.97 | and what he is in truth. For God has never condemned His Son, and | being guiltless, he is eternal. |
Tx:11.98 | of dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement through attack, | being fully committed to the insane notion that attack is |
Tx:11.99 | He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is true. And | being true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without |
Tx:11.99 | You, then, are saved because God's Son is guiltless. And | being wholly pure, you are invulnerable. |
Tx:12.33 | love and fear. One is changeless but continually exchanged, | being offered by the eternal to the eternal. In this exchange it |
Tx:12.34 | and that they are not whole. For these figures have no witnesses, | being perceived in one separate mind only. |
Tx:12.62 | what you call with love will come to you. Love always answers, | being unable to deny a call for help or not to hear the cries of pain |
Tx:12.63 | recognized. Christ is still there, although you know Him not. His | Being does not depend upon your recognition. He lives within you in |
Tx:12.66 | in time, and it will fade. But this one thing is always yours, | being the gift of God unto His Son. Your one reality was given you, |
Tx:13.2 | therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of knowledge, | being in the Mind of God, Who knows you. All knowledge must be |
Tx:13.4 | the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, | being in the mind of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a |
Tx:13.6 | Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision is His gift to you. His | Being is His Father's gift to Him. |
Tx:13.13 | The world can give you only what you gave it, for | being nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning apart from |
Tx:13.38 | shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of | being wholly shared. It can also show you the results of sharing |
Tx:13.66 | only guiltlessness allays. Learning is living here, as creating is | being in Heaven. Whenever the pain of guilt seems to attract you, |
Tx:13.71 | one can hurt the Son of God. His guilt is wholly without cause, and | being without cause, cannot exist. |
Tx:13.76 | He created, for it is wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for | being of Him, it must be true. Peace abides in every mind that |
Tx:13.92 | There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were | being carried along a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition |
Tx:14.25 | neither lost nor sought nor found. It is there, wherever you are, | being within you. Yet it can be recognized or unrecognized, real |
Tx:14.40 | Merely by | being what it is does truth release you from everything that it is |
Tx:14.47 | The miracle is the one thing you can do that transcends order, | being based not on differences but on equality. |
Tx:14.51 | also why everyone shares in it. The power of God is limitless. And | being always maximal, it offers everything to every call from |
Tx:14.56 | everything of Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all, | being for all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide |
Tx:14.67 | God lose His Identity, for if He did, you would lose yours. And | being yours, He cannot change Himself, for your identity is |
Tx:15.16 | The Atonement is in time but not for time. | Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be |
Tx:15.17 | is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will come, | being the lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has appointed |
Tx:15.42 | For the holy instant is given and received with equal willingness, | being the acceptance of the single will that governs all thought. |
Tx:15.65 | This is the only love that is fully given and fully returned. | Being complete, it asks nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined |
Tx:15.65 | is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. | Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything. This is |
Tx:15.82 | yours. Your relationships are with the universe. And this universe, | being of God, is far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies |
Tx:15.90 | His attraction for you remains unlimited, but because your power, | being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from love. What you |
Tx:15.98 | you are both destroyer and destroyed in part, but with the idea of | being able to be neither completely. And this you think saves you |
Tx:15.100 | You will not succeed in | being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no bargains and would |
Tx:15.100 | as it is that makes the decision so easy! Salvation is simple, | being of God and therefore very easy to understand. Do not try to |
Tx:15.105 | in the reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack, | being the belief that attack is justified. And as long as you would |
Tx:15.109 | Him into ourselves. Those who receive the Father are one with Him, | being host to Him Who created them. And by allowing Him to enter, the |
Tx:16.10 | are at all, their attributes would have to be miraculous, | being part of them. |
Tx:16.28 | of Heaven and by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is, | being joined within it. And so the one who would cross over is |
Tx:16.43 | spoken of this before, but there are some aspects of what is really | being attempted that we have not touched upon. |
Tx:16.45 | be the unnatural ones. For this world is the opposite of Heaven, | being made to be its opposite, and everything here takes a |
Tx:16.46 | the ego would never have you see that separation can only be loss, | being the one condition in which Heaven cannot be. |
Tx:16.76 | and your illusions of time will not prevent the timeless from | being what it is nor you from experiencing it as it is. |
Tx:17.17 | vengeance is really sought are centered on and separated off as | being the only parts of value. Every step taken in the making, the |
Tx:17.36 | marshaled to defend you from your own attack. For you attack Them, | being part of Them, and They must save you, for They love |
Tx:17.48 | of faith. Do not abandon faith, now that the rewards of faith are | being introduced. If you believed the Holy Spirit was there to |
Tx:17.63 | except in fantasy. Truth has not come because faith has been denied, | being withheld from where it rightfully belonged. Thus do you lose |
Tx:17.65 | done and where you see it done. A situation is a relationship, | being the joining of thoughts. If problems are perceived, it is |
Tx:18.2 | indivisible. He does not judge between them, knowing they are one. | Being united, they are one because they are the same. Substitution |
Tx:18.21 | gratitude! Or mine through His! For we are joined as in one purpose, | being of one mind with Him. |
Tx:18.53 | at all. And what God created is only what He would have it be, | being His Will. You cannot make His Will destructive. You can make |
Tx:18.55 | prison, removed and unreachable, incapable of reaching out as | being reached. You hate this prison you have made and would destroy |
Tx:18.58 | encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of | being transported beyond himself. This feeling of liberation far |
Tx:18.74 | thinks it is in no way changes its total dependence on them for its | being. Its whole existence still remains in them. Without the sun the |
Tx:18.76 | from its Creator. This little aspect is no different from the whole, | being continuous with it and at one with it. It leads no separate |
Tx:18.76 | no separate life because its life is the oneness in which its | being was created. |
Tx:18.86 | How is this done? It is extremely simple, | being based on what this little kingdom really is. The barren sands, |
Tx:19.3 | not there, hearing what truth has never said, and behaving insanely, | being imprisoned by insanity. |
Tx:19.4 | to him has separated you from him and kept you both apart from | being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's |
Tx:19.16 | you do to you. Whom God created as His Son is slave to nothing, | being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a body, but |
Tx:19.16 | Creator. You can enslave a body, but an idea is free, incapable of | being kept in prison or limited in any way except by the mind that |
Tx:19.49 | only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. | Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is |
Tx:20.28 | power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. | Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives |
Tx:20.58 | Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose. | Being so simple and direct, this course has nothing in it that is not |
Tx:21.13 | of mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And | being true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely |
Tx:21.53 | Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you now, | being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy |
Tx:21.64 | alone. But neither can accept a miracle instead without the other | being blessed by it and healed of pain. |
Tx:21.67 | was given love by Love. And what Love plans is like Itself in this: | being united, It would have you learn what you must be. And being |
Tx:21.67 | this: being united, It would have you learn what you must be. And | being one with It, it must be given you to give what It has given and |
Tx:21.70 | your misery comes from the strange belief that you are powerless? | Being helpless is the cost of sin. Helplessness is sin's condition |
Tx:21.88 | it but once to have it always. And if you do not have it always, | being what it is, you did not ask for it. For no one fails to ask for |
Tx:22.5 | And where, you wonder, does your strange uneasiness, your sense of | being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in |
Tx:22.13 | Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of | being joined. Nor is it possible that anything not part of Him can |
Tx:22.21 | impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever | being done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what |
Tx:22.64 | Joy is unlimited because each shining thought of love extends its | being and creates more of itself. There is no difference anywhere in |
Tx:23.1 | the belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the Will of God. | Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is feared as an |
Tx:23.13 | fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with themselves. | Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far |
Tx:23.15 | it is His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no illusions, | being as true and holy as Himself. |
Tx:23.22 | which God Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, | being the belief the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own |
Tx:24.6 | and this must come from someone “better,” someone incapable of | being like what he condemns, “above” it, sinless by comparison with |
Tx:24.53 | Voice that speaks for God in everything that lives and shares His | Being. |
Tx:24.68 | a Son. Yet must this Son have been created like Himself. A perfect | being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed, nothing to add and |
Tx:25.20 | you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His perfect Son for | being what he is. And all His thanks and gladness shine on you who |
Tx:25.30 | cannot change. What has been damned is damned and damned forever, | being forever unforgivable. If then it is forgiven, sin's |
Tx:25.43 | it offers others. For he would only heal and only bless. And | being in accord with what God wills, he has the power to heal and |
Tx:25.66 | in the total cost, the greater his, the less is yours. And justice, | being blind, is satisfied by being paid, it matters not by whom. Can |
Tx:25.66 | his, the less is yours. And justice, being blind, is satisfied by | being paid, it matters not by whom. Can this be justice? God knows |
Tx:25.71 | punishment. But vengeance without love has gained in strength by | being separate and apart from love. And what but vengeance now can |
Tx:27.10 | of fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose | being open and the mind made free again to choose what it is for. |
Tx:27.25 | the fact that every thought extends because that is its purpose, | being what it really is. From an idea of self as two, there comes a |
Tx:27.27 | goal divided and distinct for each of you preserves your Self from | being made aware of any function other than Its own. And thus is |
Tx:27.47 | who could have saved it but stepped back because he was afraid of | being healed? The eyes of all the dying bring reproach, and suffering |
Tx:27.48 | is there received is left behind on your returning to the world. And | being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the |

Tx:27.83 | what you did is being done to you. The guilt for what you thought is | being placed outside yourself and on a guilty world which dreams your |
Tx:28.1 | merely takes away. And what it takes away is long since gone, but | being kept in memory, appears to have immediate effects. This world |
Tx:28.2 | not desire its effects? Remembering is as selective as perception, | being its past tense. It is perception of the past as if it were |
Tx:28.28 | a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear to one that is already | being dreamed. Without support, the dream will fade away without |
Tx:28.45 | all. How holy is the smallest grain of sand when it is recognized as | being part of the completed picture of God's Son! The forms the |
Tx:28.61 | apart from it. For healing will be one or not at all, its oneness | being where the healing lies. What could correct for separation but |

Tx:29.48 | All idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from | being known to you and to maintain allegiance to the dream that you |

Tx:29.68 | the mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to prove the dream is | being dreamed by someone else. And in these dreams a melody is heard |
Tx:30.14 | opposition. For you have already gotten angry, and your fear of | being answered in a different way from what your version of the |
Tx:30.20 | against the sense of opposition and reminds you that help is not | being thrust upon you but is something that you want and that you |
Tx:30.21 | this point is reached, you will believe your happiness depends on | being right. But this much reason have you now attained—you would |
Tx:30.24 | been obscured by the insane belief you want it for the goal of | being right when you are wrong. Thus is the readiness for asking |
Tx:30.38 | Idols are quite specific. But your will is universal, | being limitless. And so it has no form nor is content for its |
Tx:30.41 | will to be complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by | being His. God knows not form. He cannot answer you in terms which |

W1:23.9 | periods, be sure to include both your thoughts of attacking and of | being attacked. Their effects are exactly the same because they are |

W1:103.2 | no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting | being Love, He must be joy. |
W1:103.4 | God, | being Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy. |

W1:R4.5 | they are—defenses which protect your unforgiving thoughts from | being seen and recognized. Their purpose is to show you something |

W2:307.1 | into peace where conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in | being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I |
W2:311.1 | made to be a weapon used against the truth. It separates what it is | being used against and sets it off as if it were a thing apart. And |
W2:314.1 | shadows on it, so that fear has lost its idols and its images, and | being formless, it has no effects. Death will not claim the future |
W2:WICR.4 | is certainty. For Love remains with all Its thought, Its sureness | being theirs. God's memory is in our holy minds, which know their |

M:5.4 | the existence of the world as we perceive it depends on the body | being the decision-maker. Terms like “instincts,” “reflexes” and the |

M:11.4 | What else but a thought of God turns hell to Heaven merely by | being what it is? The earth bows down before its gracious Presence, |
M:12.1 | as a body or even as in a body. Therefore He is limitless. And | being limitless, His Thoughts are joined with God's forever and ever. |

C:2.13 | In this scenario a benevolent and loving God who has extended His | being into the creation of the universe has somehow managed to extend |
C:2.13 | to extend what is not of Him, to create what is unlike to His | being in every way. Would even you attempt such folly? Would you |

C:6.1 | have always imagined it to be. You have to forgive yourself for not | being able to make it on your own, because you have realized the |

C:6.8 | What is the opposite of separation but | being joined in relationship? Everything joined with you in |
C:7.13 | pieces, not knowing that you can prevent the loss entirely by | being one. What is joined cannot be parceled out and scattered, but |

C:8.18 | of your existence, you are perhaps more aware than ever before of | being in a particular place and time. As you stand back and observe |
C:9.26 | And yet the very reality that you have set up—the reality of not | being able to succeed in what you must constantly strive to do—is a |
C:9.32 | of use to others and to yourself, the more worthwhile you see it as | being. Ages have passed since creation began, and still you have not |
C:9.35 | yourself and in so doing earn your way back into your Father's home. | Being willing to be forgiven is the precursor of atonement, the state |

C:10.9 | curriculum. To want a reward for goodness, for trying harder, for | being closer to God than your brother or sister, are all desires of |
C:10.13 | This is not as easily said about the concept of not | being separate, however. The only thing you find really difficult to |
C:10.17 | be “Would you rather be right or happy?” Only the ego would choose | being right over happiness. As you observe your body, also observe |
C:10.19 | system of the separated self. Happiness is not a priority here, but | being right is quite important to it. It would prefer to be serious |
C:10.19 | to be serious and heavy-hearted rather than light-hearted and gay. | Being serious about life is a major strategy of the separated self, |
C:10.20 | made. Yet if the separated self can look back and see that it chose | being right over being happy, it will congratulate itself despite its |
C:10.20 | separated self can look back and see that it chose being right over | being happy, it will congratulate itself despite its unhappiness and |
C:10.27 | from behind as you follow it about its day, without, at first even | being aware that this is happening. And you will find that as you |
C:12.2 | You feel a little duped at | being told love is the answer. You feel a little chastised to be told |
C:12.12 | that creation's paradise still exists, but nowhere can you find the | being God created in His image. |
C:13.6 | offer you the evidence you seek to confirm the truth of what you are | being told here. All that is required to gather this new evidence is |
C:13.10 | other thing you value. And there is not even the slightest chance of | being made to look foolish by what you are asked to do. |
C:14.2 | as the epitome of God's creation, you see the rest of creation as | being meant to serve your ends. And since your end or goal is that of |
C:14.2 | your ends. And since your end or goal is that of separation and | being different from all the rest, this is the goal you ask creation |
C:14.3 | all this effort and conflict arises simply from your insistence upon | being separate. He who is your enemy you cannot help but be at war |
C:14.4 | Do you not see how your notion of heaven | being an attainment you can reach only after death fits your goal of |
C:14.21 | but confirmation of your separate state? What is loss of love but | being left alone? |
C:15.3 | both. The desire for specialness is what calls your little self into | being. This is the self that is easily wounded, the self that takes |
C:15.4 | feel special—and you along with them—then what is the point of | being here at all? For this is indeed the point you have made of your |
C:15.5 | way and choose your own look, lifestyle, or attitude, you might risk | being seen as special within this group, and your choices might |
C:16.10 | of making good judgments and poor judgments, and you deem love as | being capable of neither. Love seems to operate on its own apart from |
C:16.17 | making of it something even darker than it started out as | being. It no longer seems like a choice that the child has made, but |
C:17.1 | Being who you are is no luxury reserved for the idle rich, or the | |

C:17.9 | Receiving implies that something is | being given. Receiving implies a willingness to accept what is given. |
C:17.13 | And yet all you need do is turn back. | Being an observer of your body has prepared you for this. Step back |
C:18.14 | to moment. What you desired you experienced fully with your whole | being, making it one with you. That you keep yourself from desiring |
C:18.21 | or union of the highest level, and of remembrance of who you are | being the means by which communion can return to you. So what we |
C:18.22 | While we spoke of what you think of as emotion | being reactions of the body to stimulus, we did not speak of this |
C:19.1 | where the whole range of experiences available to a separate | being would exist. |
C:19.14 | of non-duality itself. It would be impossible for you to be a | being that can yearn for knowledge of your Creator without this |
C:19.14 | that can yearn for knowledge of your Creator without this knowledge | being available. In creation, all needs are fulfilled the instant |
C:19.16 | often brought you close to a “thought-less” and “word-less” state of | being, and it can do so again. As you join with your own Self in |
C:19.17 | figure. Still, oneness and unity go together, the unity of creation | being part of the oneness of God, and the oneness of God part of the |
C:19.18 | ask for unity to return for it to be so. The condition or state of | being from which you ask is what is in need of adjustment and thus of |
C:20.9 | lays it aside. Time has ended and there is nothing you must do. | Being replaces identity and you say, I am. I am, and there is nothing |
C:20.19 | exists along with you? And is the you who shed such tears a personal | being? A thing? A mass of flesh and bone? Or are you, like the world |
C:20.24 | self and the identity you have given your personal self is your | being. This is the face of Christ where all being resides. This is |
C:20.24 | personal self is your being. This is the face of Christ where all | being resides. This is your true identity. |
C:20.25 | Thankfulness is the nature of your | being. It could not be otherwise when awe and magnificence encompass |
C:20.26 | Peace is the foundation of your | being. Not a peace that implies an absence but a peace that implies a |
C:20.27 | Love is the source of your | being. You flow from love, an outpouring without end. You are thus |
C:20.45 | It will be helpful if you keep in mind that the idea of to serve is | being used to replace the idea of to use and is its opposite. It |
C:20.45 | you change your actions from those of resistance and use to those of | being willing to serve and be served, it will assist not only you and |
C:20.47 | of perception, and are things your mind has been trained to see as | being within its scope. It is as if you have cordoned off a little |
C:21.2 | meaning or the meaning of eternity. This is because, as a particular | being, you are time-bound. You can realize the eternal even in your |
C:21.2 | Particularity has to do with mass, substance, form. Your | being is far beyond your imagined reliance on the particular. The |
C:21.7 | situation, even if you do not label one way of viewing or perceiving | being of the mind and the other of the heart. And you accept this |
C:21.8 | In extreme instances this is considered moral conflict, an example | being the individual knowing the “right” thing to do but acting |
C:22.2 | relationship. While we have previously discussed relationship as not | being one thing or the other but a third something, we have not as |
C:22.18 | Obviously two kinds of meaning are | being talked about. The first we talked of earlier as the finding of |
C:23.8 | to others. This comes of seeing oneself as an image rather than as a | being existing in relationship. This comes from ego rather than from |
C:23.17 | to believe that what is possible depends upon what you can imagine | being possible. You must cease to see the difficulty and begin to see |
C:23.23 | you begin the process of unlearning you may feel tested. You are not | being tested but given opportunities for unlearning. To learn that a |
C:23.26 | taking control, however, is the key to unlearning. What you term as | being in control is simply another way of saying acting on old |
C:24.4 | a commitment. It requires participation, involvement, attention, | being present. These are the lessons with which we will conclude. |
C:25.2 | in this instance is an action word, a verb, a means of serving and | being served by love. Devotion is a particular type of participation. |
C:25.10 | just as to perform a concert, is contingent on harmony. It is | being in agreement about the purpose for which you are here and your |
C:25.13 | as you are healed you will realize you are no longer vulnerable to | being wounded. Fear of being wounded—physically, mentally, |
C:25.13 | will realize you are no longer vulnerable to being wounded. Fear of | being wounded—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually— |
C:25.13 | emotionally, and spiritually—has kept you from engaging with life. | Being healed and recognizing your own state of being healed is a key |
C:25.13 | engaging with life. Being healed and recognizing your own state of | being healed is a key purpose of the time of tenderness. You cannot |
C:25.22 | Practice discernment by | being still and awaiting wisdom. Your feeling of being identity-less |
C:25.22 | discernment by being still and awaiting wisdom. Your feeling of | being identity-less will make decision-making and choices of all |
C:25.25 | Being fully engaged with life while taking the time for discernment | |
C:26.18 | come. This is because you are ready for the next step, the step of | being engaged with life. The step of living from love. And I assure |
C:26.25 | believe you created, and what you feel deprived of creating. As a | being birthed by a thought of God, you grew simultaneously with God's |

C:27.1 | We return now to what your | being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached being to being |
C:27.1 | We return now to what your being is. | Being is. As love is. You have attached being to being human. In your |
C:27.1 | now to what your being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached | being to being human. In your quest to identify yourself, you simply |
C:27.1 | what your being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached being to | being human. In your quest to identify yourself, you simply narrowed |
C:27.2 | Your | being here is not futile or without purpose. Your being is itself all |
C:27.2 | Your being here is not futile or without purpose. Your | being is itself all purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no being |
C:27.2 | Your being is itself all purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no | being apart from being. There is no being alive and being dead, being |
C:27.2 | all purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no being apart from | being. There is no being alive and being dead, being human or being |
C:27.2 | honor, all glory. There is no being apart from being. There is no | being alive and being dead, being human or being divine. There is |

C:27.2 | no being apart from being. There is no being alive and being dead, | being human or being divine. There is only being. Being is. |

C:27.2 | and being dead, being human or being divine. There is only being. | Being is. |
C:27.3 | Yet | being, like love, is in relationship. Thus, your purpose here, rather |
C:27.3 | like love, is in relationship. Thus, your purpose here, rather than | being one of finding meaning, is one of coming to know through |
C:27.6 | “known” in an unknowable world. We have already stated that the only | being who is not beyond the limits of total knowing is the Self. Thus |
C:27.12 | and separate. Your heart understands relationship as its source of | being. You are not separate from your Source. |
C:27.16 | pray for specific outcomes or for God's Will to be done. You fear | being a miracle worker because you do not think that you will ever |
C:28.7 | You would think of this as the time of work | being done. This it is, but without the drudgery of time spent. It is |
C:28.10 | of day as the sun slowly rises and as slowly sets. This is a time of | being both guided and restrained. A time of realizing that you can |
C:29.3 | to do have both welcomed and feared the idea of some kind of service | being required of you. There is no mystery to this, as the idea of |
C:29.3 | military service. You have no notion, as did people of the past, of | being of service to God. This is a symptom of the reign of the ego |
C:30.1 | How is | being present different than being? Are they not the same thing? |
C:30.1 | How is being present different than | being? Are they not the same thing? Should they not be? And yet how |
C:30.1 | are you fully present for your own life, your own Self, your own | being. If you were fully aware of your own being, you would be in |
C:30.1 | your own Self, your own being. If you were fully aware of your own | being, you would be in oneness with Your Father. |
C:30.2 | self-actualization. Where are they as they search? Where is their | being? If reaching a particular destination is all that is sought, |
C:30.2 | for the future, or for some eventual outcome, rather than for your | being. You attempt to learn for something other than your Self, for |
C:30.2 | other than your Self. Thus was service given another route for | being separated from the Self and your function here. When you learn |
C:30.4 | Being in relationship is being present. Being present has nothing to | |
C:30.4 | Being in relationship is | being present. Being present has nothing to do with time as you think |
C:30.4 | Being in relationship is being present. | Being present has nothing to do with time as you think of it. You |
C:30.6 | Universal consciousness is | being in relationship. It is the true Self, the known Self, in all |
C:30.7 | of fear, a fear that stemmed from the belief in finite life, in | being born into a body and dying to the body. The person who knows, |
C:30.8 | seen as the key that unlocks the door to universal consciousness, | being present. There is no being and no present in matter. In matter, |
C:30.8 | the door to universal consciousness, being present. There is no | being and no present in matter. In matter, being must be attached to |
C:30.8 | present. There is no being and no present in matter. In matter, | being must be attached to form. In the sense of time described by the |
C:30.9 | is a demonstration and a description of universal consciousness, of | being in relationship. |
C:31.1 | threatens your independence, something you consider a state of | being to be highly prized. This statement, however, more rightly |
C:31.3 | of the truth? Fear of the truth is like a fear of the impossible | being possible. Like the fear of death, it is the product of |
C:31.6 | This is the difficulty with studying the mind. The mind is your | being and so you can study it not, no more than you can ever see the |
C:31.7 | So too is it with mind. Mind is your | being. It is no accident that it has become synonymous to many of you |
C:31.9 | the nature of perfection and your own Self as Creator and Created. | Being part of the whole that is your known universe has made you and |
C:31.9 | of the whole that is your known universe has made you and no other | being less consequential. All over the world people of good faith |
C:31.14 | keep you lose. This is the principle of giving and receiving that, | being finally and totally understood, will free you to be |
C:31.17 | you must relearn who you are. You can only relearn who you are by | being who you are. You can only be who you are by sharing who you are. |
C:31.18 | The truth is your identity. Honesty is | being free of deception. You, who are already worrying about honesty |
C:31.18 | deception. You, who are already worrying about honesty and sharing | being about some need to confess, think a moment about why you are |
C:31.18 | is an idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of who you are | being all tied up with sin and a need for forgiveness, think of this |
C:31.19 | yourself. If you remembered your Self, notions such as confession | being good for the soul would be no more. But in order to remember |
C:31.25 | as an opposite to telling an untruth or lie. Thus were born ideas of | being able to keep truth a secret, one of the most ridiculous ideas |
C:31.27 | is not a thing, but a devotion to the one truth, the whole truth. | Being of one mind is being of one truth, and how can you be of |
C:31.27 | a devotion to the one truth, the whole truth. Being of one mind is | being of one truth, and how can you be of anything less? Only the ego |
C:31.33 | can this work? This is but another aspect of giving and receiving | being one in truth. Giving and receiving are both taking place, both |
T1:1.1 | by the desire for peace and the ways in which peace is seen as | being approachable. Peace is seen as being outside of one's being and |
T1:1.1 | ways in which peace is seen as being approachable. Peace is seen as | being outside of one's being and the means are sought for the union |
T1:1.1 | seen as being approachable. Peace is seen as being outside of one's | being and the means are sought for the union of being with that which |
T1:1.1 | outside of one's being and the means are sought for the union of | being with that which will provide for peace. Knowing not what this |
T1:1.2 | and heart, or wholeheartedness, your realization of this state of | being requires further guidance. Thus this Treatise will attempt to |
T1:1.4 | the present-moment experience that you will receive the blessing of | being able to respond differently to love. |
T1:1.7 | to continue. The mechanics of the mind were what were in need of | being overcome in order for you to listen once again to the wisdom of |
T1:1.8 | You are a thinking | being. This cannot be denied nor should it be. Thus a Course that |
T1:2.5 | Thoughts that were guarded by the ego-mind were in need of | being set free. Appealing to your heart was the means or cause of |
T1:2.5 | free. Appealing to your heart was the means or cause of this freedom | being accomplished in you. What was spoken of within A Course of Love |
T1:2.8 | valiant and are no cause for anxiety. But now this alternative is | being revealed to you, and it does call for a change of thought so |
T1:2.11 | can be summarized by the simple statement of giving and receiving | being one in truth. The implications of this statement are far |
T1:2.17 | it is. It is acknowledged. It is a fact of your existence as a human | being, a part of the natural world, a gift of the Creator. Secondly, |
T1:2.17 | It binds you to all those who have and will experience the sunset by | being a shared experience. It is there not for you alone, but in |
T1:2.17 | it becomes a gift for you that is in no way diminished by it | being a gift for all. |
T1:2.19 | to acknowledge what is, both as a fact of your existence as a human | being and as a gift of the Creator. Second, to acknowledge the |
T1:2.19 | experience, the call for a response, and the nature of all gifts as | being given to all. |
T1:2.21 | is and to acknowledge what is, one must be present, present as human | being. To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as being a |
T1:2.21 | as human being. To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as | being a gift of God is to be present as a divine being having a human |
T1:2.21 | what is as being a gift of God is to be present as a divine | being having a human experience. No part of being is negated. All |
T1:2.21 | be present as a divine being having a human experience. No part of | being is negated. All senses and feelings of the human being are |
T1:2.21 | No part of being is negated. All senses and feelings of the human | being are called into awareness and yet there is also acknowledgment |
T1:3.9 | miracle. You will almost feel panic at the thought of such a choice | being put before you. If you will agree to choose a miracle at all, |
T1:3.11 | your own loss. As great as the fear of miracles is, the fear of not | being able to perform is greater. You think of this as a test and one |
T1:3.18 | Secondly you would object to | being asked to choose a miracle. Surely you cannot know the |
T1:3.20 | grant miracles on such a whim, such a fanciful idea as that of your | being convinced of your own power. How could this possibly be |
T1:3.25 | to try. In short, you are not willing and have many reasons for not | being willing. What we have done here is bring your fears to light, |
T1:4.4 | acknowledging what is both as a fact of your existence as a human | being and as a gift of the Creator. Now that we have more properly |
T1:4.4 | of A Course of Love. It does not negate your existence as a human | being nor does it deny your existence as being a gift of the Creator. |
T1:4.4 | your existence as a human being nor does it deny your existence as | being a gift of the Creator. Recall the sunset. Are you any less the |
T1:4.4 | This is a call to be as aware of your Self as you are capable of | being aware of the sunset. |
T1:4.6 | the call for a response, and the nature of all gifts as | being given to all. This is thus a call to realize that you exist in |
T1:4.8 | self. This subjugation to the ego-mind is what led to the ego-mind | being able to develop the “laws of man.” These laws of man are the |
T1:4.18 | The art of thought is | being taught here in order to prevent just such a conclusion. The |
T1:4.21 | place and your inability to respond need not be repeated. You are | being revisited with these lessons expressly for the purpose of not |
T1:4.21 | repeating your former reaction or interpretation of them. You are | being revisited with these lessons so that you may apply to them the |
T1:4.27 | is the providence of God and not due miracles or any other thing or | being. I bring up this point to assure you that this confusion is |
T1:4.27 | ingrained in you that it has become an aspect of yourself as human | being. From time immemorial, fear has been associated with God. This |
T1:5.4 | that both welcomes and fears visions and abilities you see as | being currently beyond your capabilities. |
T1:5.10 | you know it as the cause. This is what is meant by mind and heart | being joined in union, or being wholehearted. It is the real you or |
T1:5.10 | This is what is meant by mind and heart being joined in union, or | being wholehearted. It is the real you or center of your Self, being |
T1:5.10 | or being wholehearted. It is the real you or center of your Self, | being joined with the only thought system that is real, the thought |
T1:5.13 | art of thought invites the experience of the new thought system by | being willing to replace the old with the new. While this will at |
T1:6.3 | negate the fact that a prayer is also a constant dialogue of asking, | being answered, and responding. This is the aspect of prayer that |
T1:6.4 | they are. Do not forget what union is. Union is the mind and heart | being joined in wholeheartedness. It is your union with your Self. |
T1:6.4 | as it is, like much you have learned, close to the truth without | being the truth. |
T1:6.9 | This is miracle-mindedness. The accomplishment of this state of | being is the reason for which you are here. It is your return to your |
T1:7.1 | You have perceived this inability to be who you are in terms of not | being able to do as you would desire to do, live as you would desire |
T1:7.1 | suffering is as the perceived inability to be who you truly are, a | being existing in union. Take away all, for the moment, that you |
T1:7.1 | for the moment, that you would strive to be, and the feeling of not | being able to be accomplished or complete will still be with you. |
T1:7.2 | as these may not see suffering as pain but only as a natural part of | being human that calls for acceptance. They thus find peace within |
T1:7.6 | This is why we must speak now of | being human in a new way. We must reconcile the differences between |
T1:8.16 | your natural state. It is one more demonstration of cause and effect | being one in truth. It is one more demonstration of what needs to |
T1:9.4 | manifestations, but reflects inner change. The growth of a new | being within the womb of another is a visible manifestation of |
T1:9.14 | have taken on different forms. You may for instance, have reacted by | being hurt or angry. Your response may then have been either an |
T1:9.16 | What “was” is | being thrown out and the first step in this is embracing what you |
T1:10.7 | Are you | being asked to give up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to give up |
T1:10.7 | Are you being asked to give up extremes? Yes. You are | being asked to give up all that would take peace from you. But as you |
T1:10.12 | behind are extremes of reaction to a chosen lesson. What you are | being asked to leave behind is the need for such lessons. If you have |
T2:1.3 | and foremost, something that you believe exists and have defined as | being of value. As this Treatise is not concerned with material |
T2:1.3 | that cause one to think that any physical thing is capable of | being a treasure or being treasured are of the ego. We will instead |
T2:1.3 | to think that any physical thing is capable of being a treasure or | being treasured are of the ego. We will instead assume that you have |
T2:1.4 | a sense of relief in having learned that who you are right now is a | being of perfection, and you may find in this a somewhat peaceful |
T2:1.5 | soon return to your old ideas of heaven and see peace as a state of | being for those too weary to fully live. Done with the adventures of |
T2:1.6 | you arrive, never to depart. Rest, when truly learned, is a state of | being in which struggle has ceased and peace has triumphed over |
T2:2.3 | the sun is in their blood, in the very nature of who they are. That | being one with the land is essential to them. |
T2:2.9 | You think that what prevents you from | being who you are is far broader than this simple idea of hearing and |
T2:2.9 | following a calling would indicate. You think what prevents you from | being who you are is far broader than a division between mind and |
T2:3.2 | outwardly what exists within. What I refer to so often here as | being within, as if “within” is a place in which something resides, |
T2:3.2 | place in which something resides, is unity and it is the place where | being resides. It is the place or realm of one heart and one mind. It |
T2:3.2 | to the human world. As I have said, in the realm of unity where your | being resides, this is already accomplished. Your link between the |
T2:3.3 | the means for union between where you think you are and where your | being actually resides. Remember always that your heart is where the |
T2:4.13 | Being who you are is what you are called to do. You are here asked to | |
T2:5.1 | this Course calls you to, we must also talk of another aspect of | being called. While we have concluded that when you listen to your |
T2:5.2 | Again let me stress the present-moment nature of | being called. A call is, at its most basic level, a means of |
T2:6.5 | What does this mean in regards to time? You might think of | being accomplished as all of your work being done. If there is no |
T2:6.5 | to time? You might think of being accomplished as all of your work | being done. If there is no work to be done, nothing for you to do, |
T2:6.5 | that this trick of your mind has worked, you act as if you are | being kept from accomplishment by time, and this “seems” quite real |
T2:6.6 | what is. Thus the limits you would place on the concept of something | being what it is, must be part of this discussion. |
T2:7.5 | would view as others are separate from you. Those you would view as | being in relationship with you are not separate from you. The |
T2:7.11 | world and remain who you are. This relates to giving and receiving | being one in truth in a very concrete way. For to go out into the |
T2:7.13 | and to do good. This is not about doing good works. This is about | being who you are and seeing the truth rather than the illusion that |
T2:7.14 | then, includes accepting that you have needs. That you are a | being who exists in relationship is the same as saying you are a |
T2:7.14 | a being who exists in relationship is the same as saying you are a | being who needs relationship. The only thing that keeps you, in this |
T2:7.14 | The only thing that keeps you, in this new pattern, from | being needy and dependent in an unhealthy way, is that you believe in |
T2:7.14 | be provided for, thus ceasing to be needs. To deny that you are a | being with needs is not the aim of this Course. To come to believe |
T2:7.14 | that includes all “others” is to believe in giving and receiving | being one in truth. |
T2:7.16 | Trusting is not a condition or state of | being that you have heretofore seen as being an active one. Your |
T2:7.16 | not a condition or state of being that you have heretofore seen as | being an active one. Your attitude toward trust is one of waiting, as |
T2:7.16 | acts from who you truly are. Real trust requires the discipline of | being who you are in every circumstance and in every relationship. |
T2:7.21 | into practice, and while your recognition of receiving and of needs | being met may seem to still take time, this belief builds on the |
T2:7.21 | through experience. As you experience giving and receiving | being one in truth, your belief will become true conviction. Your |
T2:8.2 | learning ground on which you now stand. All that prevents you from | being who you are within these relationships must be let go. All that |
T2:8.3 | While your dedication to the goal of | being who you are may at first seem selfish, it will soon be revealed |
T2:8.6 | acceptance of the unchangeable nature of this truth. This is akin to | being done with seeking. This is the final acceptance that you have |
T2:9.4 | meeting of needs. When your life is running smoothly and needs are | being continuously met, you begin to want to hang on to the |
T2:9.4 | needs because of their ability to meet them. When your needs cease | being met, you believe there has been a loss such as with the loss of |
T2:9.7 | of correspondence. They are shared because they are known. Every | being inherently knows that it shares the same needs as every other |
T2:9.7 | being inherently knows that it shares the same needs as every other | being of its kind. Every being also inherently knows that needs and |
T2:9.7 | it shares the same needs as every other being of its kind. Every | being also inherently knows that needs and the fulfillment of needs |
T2:9.7 | as feeling that one has a need. Needs are the domain of the thinking | being only. Thinking beings share needs because of the way in which |
T2:9.8 | What is shared by all is not owned. What all have is in no danger of | being taken away. All that you are capable of having you already have |
T2:9.13 | of disconnecting this drive that has become instinctual to you. As a | being existing in form, you have honed certain instincts over |
T2:9.16 | An understanding of the mutuality of needs will aid you in | being honest about your needs, thus allowing them to be met. Then the |
T2:10.7 | While you are | being told that you can no longer believe that what you know is |
T2:10.7 | believe that what you know is related to experience, you are not | being told that you have exactly the same knowledge as does every |
T2:10.18 | think of life as your learning ground. You still think of lessons as | being about specific subject matter. When life does not go as you |
T2:11.1 | As you were told within the pages of A Course of Love, you are a | being who exists in relationship. This is how you were created and |
T2:11.1 | our aim is to show you how to integrate the belief that you are a | being who exists in relationship into the living of your life. |
T2:11.7 | belief in unity that is inherent in the acceptance that you are a | being who exists in relationship. Separation is all that opposes |
T2:11.8 | must complement your new beliefs, the ultimate goal of this learning | being the end of the need for beliefs at all. |
T2:11.9 | It is the holiest of work and the final evidence of means and end | being the same. Your devotion to this learning must now be complete, |
T2:11.11 | can it be that we speak both of the Christ in you and of Christ as | being relationship itself? How can it be that we have spoken of |
T2:11.11 | relationship itself? How can it be that we have spoken of Christ | being both wholly human and wholly divine? These statements can only |
T2:11.13 | than as a state that does not exist. If you exist as a separate | being but your being is contingent upon relationship for its |
T2:11.13 | state that does not exist. If you exist as a separate being but your | being is contingent upon relationship for its existence, is this not |
T2:11.13 | its existence, is this not the same thing as saying that you are a | being who exists in relationship? Is this not similar to saying that |
T2:11.13 | under which you are here and able to experience life as a separate | being. That condition is relationship and relationship is what keeps |
T2:11.14 | Here that relationship is | being called Christ in order to keep the holiness and importance of |
T2:12.4 | to truth. They are the ultimate acceptance of giving and receiving | being one in truth. |
T2:12.6 | As with the learning goal | being set here of going beyond belief to simply knowing, the learning |
T2:12.8 | to the treasure within, how can it be that you, as a miracle-minded | being, are not called upon to also call forth the treasure that |
T2:12.9 | to happen. As we spoke within A Course of Love of relationship | being not one thing or another but a third something, this is what we |
T2:12.11 | as the ego would tell you that you are, it still would thwart you | being who you are through its denial of the relationships essential |
T2:13.4 | corrector of false thinking because I lived among you as a thinking | being. Think not that I was different than you and you will realize |
T2:13.4 | was different than you and you will realize that we are truly one in | being with our Father. As you move into the world with the end of the |
T3:1.11 | as that which an actor might portray. You saw nothing more amiss in | being a professional self in one instance and a social self in |
T3:2.1 | terms of original purpose and the original purpose of representation | being to share the Self in a new way. Expressions you call art are |
T3:2.7 | And yet the truth has as many ways of | being represented as does illusion. |
T3:2.8 | of the self of illusion have been called the self without this | being so. In each, however, is the self you believe is real revealed. |
T3:2.11 | within certain parameters, for it has not allowed you to imagine | being able to take steps “back” to the God you believe you left in |
T3:2.11 | would cause you much suffering and strife, for the sole reason of | being separate from that to which you long to return? The only |
T3:2.12 | desire was for you to “grow up” into its version of an independent | being—no matter what the cost. |
T3:3.3 | despite your best intentions calling disappointment to yourself and | being constantly under the pall of having disappointed others. Still |
T3:3.3 | in between, living a life full of good intentions and effort and | being surprised neither by what seems to work nor what seems to fail. |
T3:3.8 | way to the new life that calls to you. You can only get there by | being who you are in truth. |
T3:3.9 | are not good enough or that you do not want to put the effort into | being good enough. Like a person who believes she has a weight |
T3:4.6 | dismantle the structure and begin again with a foundation capable of | being built upon. This is what we have done. We have taken away the |
T3:4.6 | Does it not make sense that the only error possible is that of not | being who you are? |
T3:6.3 | Reward is intricately tied to your notions of | being good, performing deeds of merit, and taking care of, or |
T3:6.4 | This blame is as old as time itself and the cause of bitterness | being able to exist, even within your hearts. |
T3:6.5 | have always been convinced existed in the hearts of some, but even | being that it is just another word, it is one chosen to introduce an |
T3:8.1 | explosions that have rocked your faulty foundation. To work toward | being a representation of such great power is still a worthy goal and |
T3:10.7 | house of illusion and the present is lived in the House of Truth? | Being cognizant of this is the only way that the simultaneous |
T3:10.9 | The first step in | being able to forget such thoughts is in recognizing them as separate |
T3:10.11 | in the past and that all that is from the past is what you are | being called to forget. Thus when uncertainty arises, you need but |
T3:11.2 | House of Truth also feel an awareness of Self. Without necessarily | being able to put it into words, they no longer feel the statement of |
T3:11.14 | I remind you here that you are not | being asked to see anything that is not the truth. This is why the |
T3:12.7 | awaits you, you will grow fearful if you do not realize that what is | being proposed to you here is something completely new, something you |
T3:12.9 | a state inconsistent with that of the laws of God, it made of God a | being to be feared, thus continuing, and being unable to find release |
T3:12.9 | of God, it made of God a being to be feared, thus continuing, and | being unable to find release from, the cycle of fear. |
T3:13.6 | that it has cost you. To replace this idea with the idea of there | being no loss but only gain under the laws of love, is to resist the |
T3:13.9 | You believe, but you cannot imagine the truth of these words really | being represented in the life you live here. This you must now do. |
T3:13.14 | of them here, are thoughts or images originating from the Self and | being represented by the personal self. It is only in this way that |
T3:14.11 | in your world. This is the only act you can choose worthy of | being called selfishness. Be self “less” rather than selfish now and |
T3:15.3 | the past that is most often what prevents new beginnings from truly | being new. |
T3:15.4 | change. You cannot imagine those with whom you are in relationship | being other than who they are. This is consistent with the truth. Yet |
T3:15.5 | who failed to learn the prior year, while eager and confident in | being able to succeed in the current year, will continue to be |
T3:15.16 | change the very nature of the self described by the words human | being. This calls for still more forgetting as you must consciously |
T3:15.16 | limitations inherent in your concept of what it means to be a human | being. |
T3:15.17 | than who you are, who you are is not limited to the concept of human | being nor to the laws of man. If you continue to act as if you are |
T3:15.17 | the laws of man. If you continue to act as if you are still the same | being that you have represented yourself to be in the past, you will |
T3:16.8 | that you are not only accomplished, but The Accomplished, it is | being said that you are already what you have sought to be. Thus, in |
T3:16.10 | By saying that giving and receiving are one in truth it is | being said that you are lacking only in what you do not give. The |
T3:16.10 | have gone unfulfilled. While you may think that this means you are | being asked to do without, this is not the case. You are simply being |
T3:16.10 | are being asked to do without, this is not the case. You are simply | being asked to give that you might receive and to receive that you |
T3:16.12 | that there is no loss but only gain within the laws of love, you are | being told to have no fear. Fear of loss is a great temptation of the |
T3:16.14 | special relationships have been replaced by holy relationship it is | being said that your only relationship is with the truth and that you |
T3:17.2 | self “fell” from unity through this judgment of what it observed as | being other than itself, through this beginning of making |
T3:18.3 | making of a separate self. Observance is linked to cause and effect | being one. What is observed is in relationship with the observer and |
T3:19.14 | how many saints and miracles you have heard of in the past without | being moved to believe that they mean anything at all about the |
T3:19.14 | you are. This is why no more time can be wasted and why so many are | being called in the strongest manner it is possible to call them. It |
T3:20.6 | is a judgment, for some illnesses and suffering are surely seen as | being worse than others—encouragement is given despite the “fact” |
T3:20.6 | a repetition of the present or as a long war with little chance of | being won. You chide yourself not to deny the facts, and you begin, |
T3:20.9 | with compassion or even verbalize your new beliefs, you are | being told directly here that no circumstance should call you to |
T3:20.10 | them as do “bad.” I am not calling you to just another version of | being good or mentally healthy, to exercises in visualization or |
T3:21.6 | a personal self because it is attached to a person. A person is a | being born into time, a being whose existence began in time and will |
T3:21.6 | it is attached to a person. A person is a being born into time, a | being whose existence began in time and will end in time. |
T3:21.11 | you could not exist without an identity. You might think of this as | being certain of facts and information, for these are the things |
T3:21.16 | these things have contributed to your idea that you are a separate | being and as such incapable of truly understanding or knowing your |
T3:21.17 | Now however, you are | being called to accept your true identity even while you retain the |
T3:21.21 | east from west. This is why this call to return to your Self is | being sounded far and wide and why it goes out to humble and ordinary |
T3:21.23 | It is not | being said that anyone should, or will, remain blind to the unity |
T3:21.23 | seeming differences such as those of race and religion. It is simply | being said that they do not matter. It will not matter if a person |
T3:22.6 | state, nor one familiar to most of you. While you cannot “work” at | being receptive, and while I also do not ask you to “work” to break |
T3:22.7 | speaking of it and teaching it, makes you one with what you observe. | Being one with what you observe causes you to know the proper |
T3:22.9 | and your attention has begun to wander from this topic even as it is | being concluded. |
T4:1.3 | so, it may seem to you as if some will be left out and as if you are | being told that you can achieve what many others have tried and |
T4:1.3 | and particularly in your own chosenness. It is this idea of | being chosen that will cause your mind to conclude that some are not |
T4:1.6 | chosen used, when many other words would do, and when the concept of | being chosen is one laden with so many false ideas about exclusivity? |
T4:1.8 | As is clearly | being seen amid many school systems in the current time, the choice |
T4:1.10 | because they have chosen another means of learning. Means is what is | being spoken of here. But all means are for one end. All will learn |
T4:1.11 | choice to come to know your Self and God now. This is the same as | being asked if you are willing to be the chosen of God. This is the |
T4:2.8 | you are carrying judgment. While you continue to believe that | being chosen means that some are not chosen, you are carrying |
T4:2.11 | Being first does not mean being better. That I was the first to | |
T4:2.11 | Being first does not mean | being better. That I was the first to demonstrate what you can be |
T4:2.11 | as someone had to be “first” to fly a plane or land on the moon, | being first implies only that there will be a second and a third. |
T4:2.25 | relationship to grow in you, you will learn the lessons that are | being spoken of within this Treatise. |
T4:3.1 | observable. The embrace is not an action so much as a state of | being. Awareness of the embrace comes from the vision of which I have |
T4:3.3 | The personal self is still in need of | being elevated—elevated to its original nature—by its original |
T4:3.4 | or cause formed the true nature of the personal self capable of | being observed in relationship. The displacement of the original |
T4:3.6 | For every | being there is a natural state of being that is joyful, effortless, |
T4:3.6 | For every being there is a natural state of | being that is joyful, effortless, and full of love. For every being |
T4:3.6 | of being that is joyful, effortless, and full of love. For every | being existing in time there is also an unnatural state of being. |
T4:3.6 | For every being existing in time there is also an unnatural state of | being. Both states of being—the natural and the unnatural—exist |
T4:3.6 | in time there is also an unnatural state of being. Both states of | being—the natural and the unnatural—exist in relationship. While |
T4:3.6 | kept you seemingly forever unable to return to your natural state of | being. The fear that was birthed along with the erroneously inherited |
T4:3.12 | of the created. There is no reason why the original nature of your | being cannot become a being the nature of which is form if you so |
T4:3.12 | is no reason why the original nature of your being cannot become a | being the nature of which is form if you so choose it to be. There is |
T4:3.12 | choose it to be. There is a reason why the original nature of your | being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A form whose nature |
T4:3.13 | since the beginning of time to be done with the separated state of a | being of form, and at the same time to hang on to life; not realizing |
T4:4.13 | Being fully aware that you have life everlasting is totally different | |
T4:4.18 | thus create the union of the human and the divine as a new state of | being. This union will take you beyond the goal of expressing your |
T4:4.18 | you create the union of the human and the divine as a new state of | being, this choice will be eternally yours. It will be a choice of |
T4:5.1 | So are all who came before me and all who came after me. All that | being a Son of God means is that you represent the continuity of |
T4:5.2 | This could as easily be stated as your | being a Song of God. You are God's harmony, God's expression, God's |
T4:5.2 | and chorus of creation. You might think of your time here as that of | being apprentice musicians. You must learn or relearn what you have |
T4:5.3 | also what we have been referring to as heart, as the center of your | being. What would the center of your being be but the Source of your |
T4:5.3 | as heart, as the center of your being. What would the center of your | being be but the Source of your being? |
T4:5.3 | being. What would the center of your being be but the Source of your | being? |
T4:5.7 | Just as your finger is but one part of your body, without | being separate from your body, or other than your body, you are part |
T4:5.11 | glory of your true nature. You are given the chance, just as you are | being given the chance now, to choose your true nature with your free |
T4:5.13 | the consciousness returned to those loosed of the body by death. | Being loosed of the body by death was the chosen means of the time of |
T4:6.1 | and currently. What you envision, imagine, desire, hold as | being possible, is possible, because you make it so. It is your |
T4:6.7 | in love, without changing the world and the nature of the human | being any more than have those who have come before. The changes |
T4:7.7 | learning and thus ends the conditions of learning. In other words, | being in harmony with poor health and learning the lesson that it has |
T4:8.2 | only now reaching a stage wherein you can know, within your inner | being, that this is the truth. I say this because it is only now that |
T4:8.3 | the center of the universe, as your own heart is the center of your | being. The mind of God is the source of all ideas, just as “your” |
T4:8.6 | Each expression of God's love, | being of God, continued to express love through expression of its |
T4:8.7 | but you cannot imagine what a creative undertaking the human | being was! If you can imagine for a moment yourself as a being whose |
T4:8.7 | the human being was! If you can imagine for a moment yourself as a | being whose every thought became manifest, as perhaps you can |
T4:8.8 | What God could not disconnect from was the true nature of the | being of God, which is love. What God could not disconnect from was |
T4:8.8 | was disconnect from God. Since God was the center of your | being, it was impossible to disconnect your heart and still live. |
T4:8.9 | mind chose to rebel against: that creation is perfect. Your mind, | being of God, was constrained by the learning limits of the body and |
T4:8.9 | that was needed in order to come into the time of fullness of a | being able to express itself in form, never realizing that this just |
T4:8.13 | if it were not for the expansion and enrichment it would add to His | being? What purpose is behind your own desire to do thus? |
T4:8.14 | anything other than the purpose of expansion and enrichment of your | being. If it is only in sharing who you are through expression of who |
T4:8.14 | you are, then this is true of God as well. God could not be the only | being in all of creation who remains static and unchanging! How could |
T4:8.16 | You think of a state of knowing as a state of there | being nothing you do not know about something. This is why you study |
T4:8.16 | there is to know about this one thing. This was the ego's answer to | being a learning being—choosing something to learn that it could |
T4:8.16 | about this one thing. This was the ego's answer to being a learning | being—choosing something to learn that it could master. Yet all |
T4:9.4 | time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of | being who you are. |
T4:10.1 | becoming a true student, and to now leading you beyond the time of | being a student to the realization of your accomplishment. You were |
T4:10.1 | to the realization of your accomplishment. You were once comfortable | being your own teacher. You willingly gave up this role and became |
T4:10.10 | ability to recognize or identify your Self as other than a separate | being, and led the way to your recognition of the state of union. |
T4:10.11 | who you are and how to express who you are. No longer learning, or | being accomplished, is synonymous with knowing who you are and the |
T4:10.12 | of gladness. Expression of the Self of love is the natural state of | being of those who have moved beyond learning to creating through |
T4:12.6 | Surprises cannot be figured out! They are meant to be joyous gifts | being constantly revealed. Gifts that need only be received and |
T4:12.10 | you will be prone to continue to think of yourself as a learning | being. While these dialogues continue to address these same questions |
T4:12.21 | relationship and thus creating unity and relationship are only now | being created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with |
T4:12.23 | In other words, you, as a | being of singular consciousness, could learn the thought patterns of |
T4:12.23 | was a finite consciousness, a consciousness with limits. You, as a | being joined in Christ-consciousness, must share this consciousness |
T4:12.26 | Realize this without fear, for I am with you. This is akin to | being stranded in a foreign land with none of the ways you learned |
T4:12.26 | land with none of the ways you learned how to adapt in the past | being of service to you. That is how new this is—and more. But the |
T4:12.33 | This time is before us. Because you are a | being still existing in form, you still exist in the realm of time |
D:1.8 | to move about within the world, a faceless and nameless entity, a | being without an identity, humble and selfless and ineffective. For |
D:1.10 | occurs through the acceptance of your true identity, not through | being identity-less. The reign of the ego began during just such a |
D:1.11 | this opening and this replacement occurring with every fiber of your | being. Imagine the separate self being enfolded, embraced, and |
D:1.11 | occurring with every fiber of your being. Imagine the separate self | being enfolded, embraced, and finally consumed—taken into the Self |
D:1.26 | true identity cannot be taught but is the condition necessary for | being who you are and the realization that learning is no longer |
D:2.1 | behind your effort to “learn” this Course, began the work that is | being continued here, the work of replacing the old patterns of |
D:2.15 | had to do with learning because you were, as a separated self, a | being whose only function was learning. The function of all learning |
D:3.4 | accept and deny. As the old must be denied for the new to come into | being, the old must be vanquished in order for the truth to triumph |
D:3.8 | of in a new way. These are ideas that address your true nature as a | being existing in union, and this is why we call them ideas to carry |
D:3.15 | words on this page are but a representation of what is continuously | being shared. So too is it with you. You, as the elevated Self of |
D:3.15 | Self of form, are a continual representation of what is continuously | being given and received, what is continuously being shared. You are |
D:3.15 | what is continuously being given and received, what is continuously | being shared. You are a representation, for instance, of this |
D:3.17 | and yourself as student. While you think of yourself as a learning | being you will still be looking to something or someone “other” than |
D:3.20 | this be said of any of the systems you have developed as a learning | being? Are your systems life-giving and life-supporting? The patterns |
D:3.21 | step revealed and that many of you will feel already as if you are | being asked to learn again and not only that, but as if I have |
D:3.21 | Thus you are already aware of the truth of giving and receiving | being one. This awareness exists within you and you cannot any longer |
D:4.2 | the time of learning, differences that made you feel as if each | being stood separate and alone, you are now called to see no more. In |
D:4.5 | For the moment, disregard any idea you may have of there | being those who deserve the prison system you have developed and any |
D:4.11 | have either seen and learned enough during your time as a learning | being that you accept that a divine design created the universe and |
D:4.13 | exist in a complementary fashion. Both of these divine patterns are | being newly recreated and we will talk much more of them and of the |
D:4.14 | and live according to the system of thought of giving and receiving | being one. Systems of thought are thus the foundation upon which how |
D:4.15 | of the divine pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a learning | being, you accepted that you learned through contrast, knowing that |
D:4.16 | loop. Obviously these systems, built as they were upon patterns now | being recreated, are part of the old. |
D:4.26 | your release is possible, to desire it without fear, to call it into | being. |
D:5.5 | one aspect of what was created in the pattern of learning, while not | being seen in the way it was intended, still represents what is and |
D:5.6 | —to point the way—to your true desire for your true identity as a | being joined in oneness. This seeking of completion through oneness, |
D:5.11 | means that form will never be all that you are, but will return to | being as it was intended and will represent the truth of who you are. |
D:5.11 | will represent the truth of who you are. This true representation, | being of the truth, returns you to the reality of the truth where you |
D:5.13 | to help you do so. This would assume that you are still a learning | being and have need of such help. You are no longer a learning being |
D:5.13 | being and have need of such help. You are no longer a learning | being and need not this assistance. |
D:5.19 | This is what we discuss today. We discuss | being what you represent in truth. We discuss the elevation of form. |
D:5.21 | in form, while still in a form that seems inconsistent with your | being, while still in a form that exists within a form, within a |
D:5.21 | within a form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your | being. You will wonder how, if you are done learning, the patterns of |
D:5.21 | this new time of no time. You will wonder how to live in time as a | being no longer bound by time. And I tell you truly, that once |
D:6.21 | will see that belief in fate is just as systematic and in need of | being left behind as is belief that illness can be blamed on certain |
D:6.21 | then that” thought system we are leaving behind. As a non-learning | being you are now called to accept that you no longer need this type |
D:6.25 | The body was, in the time of learning, representative of a learning | being. The ego, however, narrowed your ideas of what the body was |
D:6.25 | rather than to live. You increased the life span of the human | being, but you increased not its capacity for true living or true |
D:6.27 | in its experiences and feelings. The elevated Self of form, however, | being a form that still exists in time, must realize the |
D:6.28 | time is a measurement of learning. If you are no longer a learning | being, for what is time needed? Time is needed now only for the |
D:6.28 | needed now only for the transformation of the self from a learning | being to a being that can accept the shared consciousness of unity |
D:6.28 | only for the transformation of the self from a learning being to a | being that can accept the shared consciousness of unity and begin to |
D:7.1 | Just as when you were a | being existing in the shared consciousness of unity you couldn't know |
D:7.2 | language was used because you were still, at that time, a learning | being. Now we will adjust our language somewhat to represent the new |
D:7.3 | into night. Resting and waking will be part of the same continuum of | being. |
D:7.5 | you outside of time. In this state, no duality exists. Doing and | being are one. |
D:7.6 | self in form. “Right” action comes from the unity in which doing and | being are one, or in other words from the state in which there is no |
D:7.6 | and what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of wholeness. | Being whole is being all you are. Being all you are is what the |
D:7.6 | do. “Right” action comes from the state of wholeness. Being whole is | being all you are. Being all you are is what the elevated Self of |
D:7.6 | comes from the state of wholeness. Being whole is being all you are. | Being all you are is what the elevated Self of form represents. |
D:7.7 | history. Now you are called to discover how to exist in form without | being defined by this time-bound particularity. |
D:7.12 | you to your Self. Discovery will allow the new you to come into | being by revealing what you do not yet know about how to live as the |
D:7.14 | Being in love is a definition of what you now are as you accept the | |
D:7.17 | the uniqueness of each Self, and is a demonstration of means and end | being the same. Desire keeps you focused on your own path and leaves |
D:7.18 | body, one Christ, you have accepted existence as a non-particular | being in a state outside of time—you have accepted existence as a |
D:7.20 | new ways. Those ways thus now include the form of your body without | being limited to creation of, and in, form. The body has thus joined |
D:7.23 | It is a provision of the time of learning that allows the learning | being to learn at his or her own pace and to pass this learning on in |
D:8.1 | your body as the dot within the circle, I ask you to imagine now | being able to take a step outside of the area of this dot, and into |
D:8.2 | to be true. You are too used to thinking of yourself as a learning | being to truly experience the freedom of not being bound by this |
D:8.2 | yourself as a learning being to truly experience the freedom of not | being bound by this constraint. In all of your life, you can think of |
D:8.2 | are prone to comparison, many of you have been discouraged by not | being able to be the “best” despite your natural talent or ability, |
D:8.6 | cannot be figured out! Surprises are meant to be joyous gifts | being constantly revealed. Gifts that need only be received and |
D:9.1 | The door that is | being opened to you here is the door of awareness of what is, a door |
D:9.5 | and truthful way of expressing what was true for you as a learning | being. |
D:9.7 | As we continue, you may feel as if contradictory things are | being said, such as being called to consider what imprisons you and |
D:9.7 | you may feel as if contradictory things are being said, such as | being called to consider what imprisons you and then being called to |
D:9.7 | said, such as being called to consider what imprisons you and then | being called to reconsider. The call is still the same, but the means |
D:9.8 | The aims we clearly embraced together when you were still a learning | being were meant to allow you to come to know your true identity. “A |
D:9.12 | learning and thinking merely resulted eventually in a new idea | being birthed, but this is not the case. Heredity can be cited as a |
D:11.6 | you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution is | being made, will desire still be with you? |
D:11.11 | this belief from becoming an ability and prevents it from going from | being an ability to simply being who you are, is your thoughts— |
D:11.11 | ability and prevents it from going from being an ability to simply | being who you are, is your thoughts—thoughts that need an |

D:12.17 | than ever before that what I have said about your way of thinking | being insane is true. You think it is perfectly sane to go through |
D:13.1 | in the beginning, in discounting what you know rather than in | being adamant in the proclamation of what you know. But this desire |
D:13.6 | that exists in relationship. Once you have attained a state of | being able to sustain Christ consciousness, this will no longer be a |
D:13.9 | as you were taught that you could not learn on your own, you are now | being told by one who knows that you also do not come to the knowing |
D:13.12 | union, is what negates the need for such intermediary functions. By | being who you are, and seeing others as who they truly are, you |
D:14.5 | what would happen if I disregarded the facts and was open to this | being something else?” These questions could be asked in situations |
D:14.8 | but for cooperation. Cooperation comes from the All of All | being in harmony and relationship. When this harmony and relationship |
D:14.8 | believe you have cause for stress and effort rather than for just | being open to what comes. |
D:14.15 | beyond body and mind, form and time. It proceeds to this awareness | being accepted, adopted as an ability, and then to becoming your new |
D:14.16 | Being whole is being present. Being whole is being all you are. Being | |

D:15.3 | into form is what occurred when God “spoke” and the Word came into | being. Movement is energy, the life force of creation and of being, |

D:15.3 | life force of creation and of being, both in unity and in time. By | being you are in movement. By being you are an expression of being. |
D:15.3 | being, both in unity and in time. By being you are in movement. By | being you are an expression of being. |
D:15.3 | By being you are in movement. By being you are an expression of | being. |
D:15.4 | The second principle of creation, then, is that | being is. It is what is and it is the expression of what is. |
D:15.6 | principles, but a single unifying principle of wholeness: Movement, | being, expression. One did not occur before the other, as they are |
D:15.6 | before the other, as they are not separate. There was movement into | being and an expression of being. But what was there to move before |
D:15.6 | are not separate. There was movement into being and an expression of | being. But what was there to move before there was being? This is the |
D:15.6 | an expression of being. But what was there to move before there was | being? This is the way the mind looks at principles, one coming after |
D:15.8 | Then God, a | being, spoke. Here we have both the introduction of a being and the |
D:15.8 | Then God, a being, spoke. Here we have both the introduction of a | being and the continuation of movement. Speaking denotes not only a |
D:15.8 | continuation of movement. Speaking denotes not only a speaker, the | being, but the movement of sound. Then we are told the content of the |
D:15.8 | was said, “Let there be light.” More movement. Only when movement, | being, and expression came together, however, was there light. Light |
D:15.12 | Expression, movement, and | being are about what is eternal passing through what is temporal. |
D:15.20 | which sustains life. Sustaining unity or Christ-consciousness is | being done with the need to maintain conditions that allow it to be |
D:16.1 | stage of becoming who you are. This is the stage in which movement, | being, and expression come together into the recreation of wholeness |
D:16.4 | You can be an expression of | being and yet not express the wholeness of being. This is a |
D:16.4 | can be an expression of being and yet not express the wholeness of | being. This is a description of the state of becoming. It is a |
D:16.5 | and effect. When you move from the state of becoming to the state of | being whole, you will have moved through the act of creation and you |
D:16.6 | You were told within this Course that | being is as love is. Here you are told that being is a principle of |
D:16.6 | within this Course that being is as love is. Here you are told that | being is a principle of creation and you are not told that love is a |
D:16.6 | cannot be learned, and so has stood apart from the time of learning. | Being could be learned here, because it was not yet whole. Being is |
D:16.6 | learning. Being could be learned here, because it was not yet whole. | Being is synonymous with identity. When your being and your identity, |
D:16.6 | it was not yet whole. Being is synonymous with identity. When your | being and your identity, your Self and your awareness of Self are |
D:16.6 | your Self and your awareness of Self are whole and complete, | being, like love, is no longer capable of being learned, for it no |
D:16.6 | are whole and complete, being, like love, is no longer capable of | being learned, for it no longer has attributes. |
D:16.7 | that remained in union, in eternal completion, when form came into | being. |
D:16.8 | Yet movement, | being, and expression are also what is because they are the givens. |
D:16.8 | the way of the unified principles of creation, the way of movement, | being, and expression. |
D:16.9 | existing in time and form, choose to stand apart from movement, | being, and expression. You can choose, in other words, to exist |
D:16.9 | because you exist and that as long as you exist in form you are | being because you are being something. You are alive. You have form. |
D:16.9 | and that as long as you exist in form you are being because you are | being something. You are alive. You have form. You think and feel. |
D:16.9 | you think, you must at least be. You are, after all, called a human | being. |
D:16.10 | While you are becoming you are still | being acted upon by creation. You are still being acted upon by |
D:16.10 | becoming you are still being acted upon by creation. You are still | being acted upon by creation because you are not yet whole. When you |
D:16.10 | time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of | being who you are,” it was not said that this time of becoming was |
D:16.11 | is movement. Movement is given and becomes movement in form. | Being is given and becomes being in form. Expression is given and |
D:16.11 | is given and becomes movement in form. Being is given and becomes | being in form. Expression is given and becomes expression in form. |
D:16.11 | you were in movement. Since you were conceived in form, you were | being. Since you were conceived in form, you were expressing. It |
D:16.13 | unity, in form. In your time of directly experiencing the movement, | being, and expression of unity, you are being who you are. At other |
D:16.13 | experiencing the movement, being, and expression of unity, you are | being who you are. At other times, you are becoming who you are. |
D:16.14 | In your time of directly experiencing the movement, | being, and expression of unity, you are whole and complete, you feel |
D:16.14 | what you know. You realize fully that you are no longer a learning | being and that you have no need for teachers or for guidance other |
D:16.15 | At times when you are not directly experiencing the movement, | being, and expression of unity, you realize the state of becoming. To |
D:16.15 | an in-between exists between the time of learning and the time of | being the elevated Self of form; that times still exist in which you |
D:16.21 | This image, | being but an image, is incapable of true joining in relationship. You |
D:17.14 | you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution is | being made, will desire still be with you? |
D:Day1.2 | Beliefs are not what is | being spoken of here. Acceptance is. Acceptance is not belief, it is |
D:Day1.12 | It matters not. The power of God is not what is | being spoken of here. It is our power that is being spoken of here. |
D:Day1.12 | of God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our power that is | being spoken of here. The power of the god man. The power of God |
D:Day1.13 | can be returned. This is simply the way it is. It is not about | being right or being wrong, about one being more and others less. |
D:Day1.13 | This is simply the way it is. It is not about being right or | being wrong, about one being more and others less. This is simply the |
D:Day1.13 | the way it is. It is not about being right or being wrong, about one | being more and others less. This is simply the way to sameness of |
D:Day1.13 | being more and others less. This is simply the way to sameness of | being, to the reunion of all, from the holiest of the holy to the |
D:Day1.26 | The chain of events of creation include, thus far, the movement of | being into form and the movement of being beyond form. What will be |
D:Day1.26 | thus far, the movement of being into form and the movement of | being beyond form. What will be realized through the secret of |
D:Day2.3 | that has brought a new “haunting” to some of you. Your life is | being seen more as a whole now. The parts are fitting together. You |
D:Day2.6 | is as if, at this mountain peak, you have discovered a lightness of | being, and yet within it is this stone of regret. You continue to |
D:Day3.5 | product of the condition of learning. It always was, but now this is | being revealed to you not just through my words, but by your |
D:Day3.6 | Some of you will feel excitement at the idea of this issue | being finally discussed; but be aware of your feelings as we proceed, |
D:Day3.7 | of a certain type, even extending to a new comfortableness of | being. You believe having a spiritual context for your life can, in |
D:Day3.13 | this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The idea of nothing | being truly free. Not you, and not your gifts. Everything coming with |
D:Day3.14 | in which you know and have no idea what to do with what you know. | Being unable to replace, in application, the false with the true, the |
D:Day3.17 | Let's be clear that we are not speaking of money or abundance as | being “given” when it is hard work to attain. Not even when it seems |
D:Day3.40 | “concept” or idea about what you have gained from unity thus far | being that which can be gained through the mind. As you advance, and |
D:Day3.44 | just as joy rather than sorrow is your natural state. What you are | being asked to do here, is to open the self of form to the place of |
D:Day3.45 | Being open to the divine flow of union is the exact opposite of the | |
D:Day3.49 | realizing that you are still acting in accord with ideas of it | being an “if this, then that” world. You try to guess what God might |
D:Day3.49 | that” world. You try to guess what God might want you to do, be it | being still and not worrying about money, or taking actions, |
D:Day3.52 | surrender that is necessary for the final acceptance to come into | being. |
D:Day3.53 | Just as you were told you cannot “think” great ideas into | being, or great talent into fruition, just as you were told, in other |
D:Day3.61 | of abundance is the way to abundance. Active acceptance is a way of | being in relationship with all that flows from unity. This you cannot |
D:Day4.5 | within you. Although the divine design of the time of learning is | being recreated, the ceaseless pattern of learning remains. |
D:Day4.7 | creation story that symbolizes man's journey, early man was not a | being who learned in the same way that you do. Early man had no |
D:Day4.13 | words if you do not feel you have access to this place. It is like | being told that all of the treasure you might desire is locked away |
D:Day4.21 | This feeling of | being misled is another cause of your anger—one of the primary |
D:Day4.22 | solace to an anger so profound? How can you be certain you are not | being misled once again? |
D:Day4.23 | Establishing your identity. You needed to first know yourself as a | being existing in union before you could know anything else with the |
D:Day4.27 | To know the basic truth of who you are—that you are a | being who exists in unity rather than in separation—is thus the |
D:Day4.39 | acceptance of the truth of who you really are, then our purpose of | being together here on this mountain top will go unfulfilled. |
D:Day4.49 | choice, if you do not truly and wholeheartedly meet the condition of | being fearless, you will know this, and you will pass through the |
D:Day5.16 | A “healer” for instance, might, thus, feel her access point as | being the hands and express what is gained through unity by a laying |
D:Day5.17 | clones or one specific type of idealized holy person. Union is | being fully who you are and expressing fully who you are. This is the |
D:Day5.19 | doubts. Doubts are never more pronounced than when specifics are | being dealt with. Yet you continue to desire specifics. This is |
D:Day5.20 | effort to what you read here. Just accept what is given. All that is | being given is the helpful hints you have desired from an older |
D:Day5.21 | as a needle but as the wisdom you seek. Imagine this wisdom not as | being stopped by the layers of thinking and feeling that we used the |
D:Day5.26 | air you breathe is “of” you. You may think of the air you exhale as | being more “of” you, but there is no more or less to the relationship |
D:Day6.1 | We now will discuss | being the true Self while becoming the true Self—the time in |
D:Day6.1 | an in-between exists between the time of learning and the time of | being the elevated Self of form. This is what our time on this holy |
D:Day6.2 | holy mountain. This is not a second-best situation. Although it is | being handled in this way partially because to ask you to walk away |
D:Day6.4 | to this example. We have spoken of becoming as the time of movement, | being, and expression coming together. We have further spoken of your |
D:Day6.5 | Movement , | Being, Expression; Convergence, Intersection, Pass-through. |
D:Day6.6 | I choose this particular example to address this particular time of | being in-between. Let us consider the creation of a piece of music. |
D:Day6.11 | where there is no distinction between Creator and created. You are | being who you are right now and eliciting the expression that will |
D:Day6.11 | eliciting the expression that will take you to the final stage of | being who you will be in oneness. |
D:Day6.18 | Changes you feel called to make are not discouraged here. The point | being made is simply that removal from life is not possible or |
D:Day6.21 | your scientists to know what to look for, they would find it. It is | being created to exist both within the body and beyond the body. It |
D:Day6.24 | companion. Would you desire to prolong your time as an apprentice by | being removed from the performance of your tasks? Perhaps you would. |
D:Day6.30 | than yourself in order to navigate your daily life? What you are | being shown here is that you do not. What you are going to realize |
D:Day6.30 | the qualities that will allow this. This is the point of movement, | being, and expression coming together. The point of convergence, |
D:Day7.1 | imply but that you were previously unaccepting? And what does | being unaccepting imply but the very denial of yourself that you have |
D:Day7.11 | of creation and include those we have already spoken of as movement, | being, and expression; and convergence, intersection and pass-through. |
D:Day8.3 | acceptance of what you do not like. Do you really think you are | being called to accept “normal life?” Called to accept those |
D:Day8.3 | accept those conditions that have made you feel unhappy? No! You are | being called to an acceptance of new conditions! |
D:Day8.16 | just as you cannot predetermine either your likes or dislikes. | Being aware of how you feel in the present moment is the only way to |
D:Day8.20 | you see not the true Self and the holiness of the true Self | being expressed in the feelings of a present moment situation, but |
D:Day8.21 | your feelings in present time. This is a recognition that by | being in the present you know your feelings are of the truth. This is |
D:Day8.26 | self of potential, the future self you think you can only dream of | being. The ego-self was the self you felt safe presenting to the |
D:Day8.29 | not allowed yourself to enjoy the freedom of the new, the freedom of | being your true Self. |
D:Day9.10 | come to see as enlightened ones. It may be linked to your ideas of | being able to express wisdom or compassion. The image of the ideal |
D:Day9.13 | well. It is the epitome of learning, what you have seen learning as | being for. While other learning goals may have receded, this one |
D:Day9.27 | beauty and truth. You express the beauty and truth of who you are by | being alive. It has only been your inability to accept this that has |
D:Day10.12 | the perfect vehicle for learning in the time of learning, it is now | being transformed into the perfect vehicle for the realization of the |
D:Day10.19 | You needed the reference point of a “person,” of a | being who had lived and breathed and met challenges similar to your |
D:Day10.27 | than they were in life, even while you are able to imagine them | being peaceful and free of the constraints of the body. This is as |
D:Day10.30 | to acknowledge that feelings are involved at every level of every | being you can imagine. Consciousness is about what you are aware of, |
D:Day10.31 | If you are | being called to acknowledge these feelings, what are you being called |
D:Day10.31 | If you are being called to acknowledge these feelings, what are you | being called to do with them? You are being called to respond to them |
D:Day10.31 | these feelings, what are you being called to do with them? You are | being called to respond to them with acceptance and love. As a man, I |
D:Day10.36 | from one another and from God—until recently. Now unity is | being sought and unity is being found. |
D:Day10.36 | from God—until recently. Now unity is being sought and unity is | being found. |
D:Day11.5 | relationships joining in union that the One Self is capable of | being either the observer or the observed. This is as true of God as |
D:Day11.8 | of the unknowable and the knowable through movement, expression, and | being. |
D:Day12.2 | Imagine the air around you | being visible and your form an invisible space within the visible |
D:Day12.9 | Non-human obstacles have no need of | being deflected for their boundaries have not been made solid by |
D:Day13.2 | through relationship with other selves experiencing oneness through | being selves of form. |
D:Day13.4 | is the love of God. There is no other love. God's love is constantly | being given, received, and felt in relationship. God's love is your |
D:Day13.6 | transparent. Through this transparency, the reality of the One Self | being also the many, or the all, is apparent. The spaciousness of |
D:Day13.7 | and totally spacious, for fear is part of the density of form, | being a lack of love. |
D:Day14.7 | you did not understand them and could not assign meaning to them. | Being inexplicable the “holding pattern” that you entered into with |
D:Day15.3 | to maintain Christ-consciousness you begin the movement away from | being observed to being in-formed by the spirit which animates all |
D:Day15.3 | you begin the movement away from being observed to | being in-formed by the spirit which animates all things. You begin |
D:Day15.7 | practiced has prepared you to move from observation to informing and | being informed. |
D:Day15.9 | observation without judgment, you learned to be neutral observers. | Being neutral observers allowed cause and effect to occur naturally |
D:Day15.11 | level of neutrality along with you. This is why observation is not | being replaced. Observation is needed until this level of neutrality |
D:Day15.12 | What does it mean to practice informing and | being informed? It means to join together with others who have the |
D:Day15.13 | and seek to keep your unworthiness hidden? Do you still fear | being known? |
D:Day15.16 | of the One Self with the “one group self.” This is not a time of | being judged or of adopting the beliefs of others but one of finally |
D:Day15.22 | depriving them of anything when you slip into observable states of | being. There is a purpose for this time in which both informing and |
D:Day15.22 | is a purpose for this time in which both informing and observing, | being informed and being the observed coexist. You must respect the |
D:Day15.22 | this time in which both informing and observing, being informed and | being the observed coexist. You must respect the boundaries of those |
D:Day15.24 | such, this time is also a beginning to the practice of realizing and | being able to accept a certain duality. Without necessarily realizing |
D:Day15.24 | it, your consciousness has been in two places at once without | being divided. As you re-enter life on level-ground, this ability to |
D:Day15.26 | your ability to embrace all while focusing on your own purpose in | being here, will begin a new process of individuation. The |
D:Day15.27 | eager to strike out on your own. You may have thought the joining | being done here was the joining with a specific group rather than a |
D:Day15.28 | identity. We have now debunked your myths about your true identity | being an idealized form of the self. Now are you ready, through your |
D:Day17.1 | and Christ-consciousness, since you have been life-conscious without | being Christ-conscious. You have been the created without being the |
D:Day17.1 | without being Christ-conscious. You have been the created without | being the creator. Something has been missing. What is Christ? What |
D:Day17.2 | and the animated, the informer and the informed, the movement, | being, and expression of creation. Christ is that which anointed form |
D:Day17.3 | the time, once again, for you to claim your identity. Although | being who you are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still |
D:Day17.3 | who you are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still await | being different than who you are. This is because you realize that |
D:Day17.3 | being different than who you are. This is because you realize that | being your true Self is being in union, undivided and inseparable |
D:Day17.3 | you are. This is because you realize that being your true Self is | being in union, undivided and inseparable from God, the All of All. |
D:Day17.5 | let that consciousness be their guiding force—that by which their | being gained movement and expression. Those like Jesus, who fully |
D:Day17.5 | in form, did so as individuals, by not negating their | being as they realized this connection. Many others with realization |
D:Day17.7 | the second coming of Christ but the first coming—the movement of | being into form. This being was fully expressed by Jesus Christ, who |
D:Day17.7 | Christ but the first coming—the movement of being into form. This | being was fully expressed by Jesus Christ, who represented, in form, |
D:Day18.3 | and appropriate in this final period are those of acceptance and of | being an example life. |
D:Day18.4 | Only those who have fully accepted who they are, are capable of | being example lives. These example lives are evidenced through the |
D:Day18.5 | of the One Self amongst the many. They find renewed pleasure in | being who they are because they have been renewed through |
D:Day19.1 | purposeless at times, while at other times, you feel as if you are | being exactly as you are meant to be. |
D:Day19.2 | this is overly simplified, you might think of this as the artist | being content in creating art, the musician in creating music, the |
D:Day19.4 | Being content is being fulfilled by the way in which you express who | |
D:Day19.4 | Being content is | being fulfilled by the way in which you express who you are—by the |
D:Day19.4 | that this reflection is the new way of creation. In their | being they become what they want to create. |
D:Day19.10 | but are required to do in the sense of receiving, sharing, and | being what they are asked to become. This is an act of incarnation, |
D:Day19.10 | incarnation, and is a new pattern, a pattern of what can be imagined | being made real, not through doing, but through the creative act of |
D:Day19.11 | in the world but what they do will be a byproduct of their way of | being rather than a means of facilitating that way of being. Many of |
D:Day19.11 | their way of being rather than a means of facilitating that way of | being. Many of the way of Mary will find acclaim, yet neither acclaim |
D:Day19.11 | acclaim nor obscurity will matter to those following these ways. | Being true to the self and the calling of the One Self is all that |
D:Day19.15 | of the new. It was spoken of earlier as the act of informing and | being informed, as the step beyond that of observing and being |
D:Day19.15 | and being informed, as the step beyond that of observing and | being observed. It is where creation of the new can begin because it |
D:Day19.15 | the observer, that is the creative force, the animator and informer. | Being joined in union and relationship allows for the channeling of |
D:Day19.16 | the way of Mary to support, encourage, and reflect the new to those | being examples of the way of Jesus. This too is tricky for it can |
D:Day20.4 | is new, but the way of saying this is the expression of the human | being receiving it. The way in which you are hearing and responding |
D:Day20.4 | to these truths is perhaps new, but that way too is of the human | being receiving it, in this case, you. |
D:Day21.3 | Nothing was capable of | being taught or learned without the reception of what the giver gave. |
D:Day21.7 | available within each moment and that the interaction, rather than | being one of taking something from an outside source into the self |
D:Day21.9 | offered himself as a teacher in order to bring you to the place of | being willing to accept that a teacher was not needed. He joined you |
D:Day22.1 | can occur in regards to channeling. Yesterday we spoke of teachers | being channels during the time of learning. It was also noted that |
D:Day22.2 | in the example used was also an intermediary with the separation | being between the known and the unknown. Thus, a channel could be |
D:Day22.3 | is seen as having something unavailable to everyone rather than | being seen as a means to provide, or channel, availability to |
D:Day22.8 | stream and every blowing wind. It is there in each and every human | being. It is now time to quit acting as if it is not. It is time to |
D:Day22.8 | for the awareness of union with God that exists in every living | being. |
D:Day23.1 | you are is what you are here to make known and thus you must be a | being who knows love without fear, joy without sorrow, and life |
D:Day23.3 | As we spoke earlier of | being a channel, today we speak of being a carrier. Your instruction |
D:Day23.3 | As we spoke earlier of being a channel, today we speak of | being a carrier. Your instruction has been given. Now the task before |
D:Day27.1 | Think now not of | being apprehensive in terms of being fearful of the rest of your |
D:Day27.1 | Think now not of being apprehensive in terms of | being fearful of the rest of your life, but apprehensive in terms of |
D:Day27.6 | Now you contain within you the ability to combine both levels of | being through the experience of life. You have already been doing |
D:Day27.16 | but the experience of separation. What we are speaking of now is | being able to experience wholeness and the variability of experience |
D:Day28.8 | is new, but the reality of wholeness that is new. The reality of | being able to experience the variability of separation from within |
D:Day28.25 | but experience is. Your will and God's are one and thus it is | being made so. |
D:Day29.5 | of another kind, it is, in actuality, access to a state of | being. |
D:Day29.6 | of interaction, it has been, in actuality, access to a new state of | being. |
D:Day29.7 | A new state of | being is a new reality. It is linked with your notion of who and |
D:Day30.3 | Self as what is common to wholeness. Despite unlimited variations | being available, commonality is also always available. Thus no matter |
D:Day31.4 | without division. Wholeness and oneness are the same. You are one in | being with your Father, your Creator, the originator and denominator |
D:Day32.5 | First we will look at the concept of God as Supreme | Being—God as one being, one entity. When thought of in such a way, |
D:Day32.5 | we will look at the concept of God as Supreme Being—God as one | being, one entity. When thought of in such a way, it is somewhat |
D:Day32.7 | Big Bang or evolution, this notion presents the concept of something | being begun and then turned loose, proceeding from its beginnings |
D:Day32.8 | a force, a unifying factor. God is closer, within this idea, to | being a participatory being, but still falls short. Man lives and has |
D:Day32.8 | factor. God is closer, within this idea, to being a participatory | being, but still falls short. Man lives and has free will. Animals |
D:Day32.13 | Whether God is seen as Creator or Supreme | Being, God is still seen as the All Powerful. While God is seen as |
D:Day32.15 | relationship, then separation would truly exist. Each entity or | being would be singular and alone. Yet God has been referred to as |
D:Day32.17 | of God to Jesus was that of Father to Son but also as one in | being. One in being, but different in relationship. |
D:Day32.17 | to Jesus was that of Father to Son but also as one in being. One in | being, but different in relationship. |
D:Day32.18 | Could God be one in | being, but different in relationship, to each of us? Could not God's |
D:Day32.18 | different in relationship, to each of us? Could not God's oneness of | being be the consciousness we all share? Could not God's relationship |
D:Day32.18 | God from us and us from God? So that we are both one in | being and different? Could it be that while we are one in being with |
D:Day32.18 | one in being and different? Could it be that while we are one in | being with God we can also become more god-like through the practice |
D:Day32.18 | can be more like unto God in relationship, even while you are God in | being? |
D:Day32.19 | power stems from His relationship to everything rather than from His | being? This is the easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. |
D:Day32.19 | being? This is the easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. | Being is power. But being, like oneness, cannot know itself without |
D:Day32.19 | easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. Being is power. But | being, like oneness, cannot know itself without relationship. You are |
D:Day32.19 | oneness, cannot know itself without relationship. You are one in | being with your Father, with God, with the Creator and with all of |
D:Day32.19 | with the Creator and with all of creation. You are also, however, a | being that exists in relationship. The extent of your ability to be |
D:Day32.20 | God is the | being and the relationship. You are capable of all the power of God's |
D:Day32.20 | and the relationship. You are capable of all the power of God's | being but you are powerful only as God is powerful—in relationship. |
D:Day33.1 | The power of God exists within everyone because all are one in | being with God. And yet this power cannot be used. It can only serve. |
D:Day33.2 | situations and events are relationships too—lies within your own | being. Being in relationship. This is what you are and what your |
D:Day33.2 | and events are relationships too—lies within your own being. | Being in relationship. This is what you are and what your world is. |
D:Day33.2 | Being in relationship. This is what you are and what your world is. | Being in relationship. |
D:Day33.3 | All relationship is holy because it is within relationship that | being is found and known and interacted with. Relationship is thus |
D:Day33.3 | and interacted with. Relationship is thus the route or access to | being and being the route or access to relationship. One cannot exist |
D:Day33.3 | with. Relationship is thus the route or access to being and | being the route or access to relationship. One cannot exist without |
D:Day33.3 | This is the divine marriage, the divine relationship of form and | being. |
D:Day33.4 | While these may seem like simple words, or like a theory | being proposed, these words are at the heart of the new way of seeing |
D:Day33.5 | you confront the events and situations of your world, that you are | being in relationship. It is to your being that the people, places, |
D:Day33.5 | of your world, that you are being in relationship. It is to your | being that the people, places, events and situations that make up |
D:Day33.5 | make up your world appeal. It is in your response that who you are | being is revealed. |
D:Day33.6 | You are | being a who. Your who is your individuated self. But your who is also |
D:Day33.6 | your individuated self. But your who is also your representation of | being. The two becoming one—the individuated self becoming one in |
D:Day33.6 | being. The two becoming one—the individuated self becoming one in | being—is the aim toward which we have journeyed together. |
D:Day33.7 | You might think of | being as what you are, and responding as who you are. You have been |
D:Day33.7 | responding as who you are. You have been told that these words are | being given to you so that you do not respond to love in the same way |
D:Day33.7 | that comes to you or happens to you. Yet if relationship and | being are one, and you are one in being and different in |
D:Day33.7 | to you. Yet if relationship and being are one, and you are one in | being and different in relationship, what is being said is that being |
D:Day33.7 | one, and you are one in being and different in relationship, what is | being said is that being and relationship are of one piece, one |
D:Day33.7 | in being and different in relationship, what is being said is that | being and relationship are of one piece, one whole, and that whole is |
D:Day33.7 | everything that comes to you, every event, every situation, is of | being, which is God, which is love. |
D:Day33.10 | this is by always knowing and never forgetting who you are. You are | being in relationship: The creator of events as well as the |
D:Day33.11 | is with love because all relationship is with God, who is one in | being with you. |
D:Day33.12 | Being is power. Relationship is powerful. In other words, | |
D:Day33.12 | of power. In the time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as | being blessed by God and the powerless as not being so blessed. This |
D:Day33.12 | powerful were seen as being blessed by God and the powerless as not | being so blessed. This way of seeing has gone much unchanged. All are |
D:Day33.13 | everyone does have a relationship with power. Power is one in | being with each and every one of us. Every single individual has |
D:Day33.13 | their power. A baby realizes the power of its cry within moments of | being born. Many a teenager develops full realization of the power of |
D:Day33.14 | This is the power of | being. The power to individuate the Self. The power to be who you |
D:Day33.15 | of oneness and unity, the realization that you are one in | being, creator and created. This is a realization that only comes of |
D:Day34.1 | the new way of seeing the Self just spoken of—seeing the Self as | being in relationship—is key to creating a new world, how does this |
D:Day34.3 | with everything creates sameness—or the very oneness in | being that we have been talking about. |
D:Day34.4 | is upon you now is the desire to know and experience this oneness of | being in relationship rather than the difference of being in |
D:Day34.4 | this oneness of being in relationship rather than the difference of | being in relationship—the wholeness of being in relationship rather |
D:Day34.4 | than the difference of being in relationship—the wholeness of | being in relationship rather than the separation of being in |
D:Day34.4 | the wholeness of being in relationship rather than the separation of | being in relationship. |
D:Day34.5 | This wholehearted desire can be fulfilled in you—it is | being fulfilled in you. As it is fulfilled in you, you will create a |
D:Day34.7 | you will experience yourself as powerless. If you experience your | being as powerless, you are negating the power of God who is one in |
D:Day34.7 | being as powerless, you are negating the power of God who is one in | being with you. |
D:Day34.8 | asking each other to experience our power—the power of sameness of | being. Are you willing to experience the power of God? To let it flow |
D:Day35.1 | In your relationship to God, who is your | being, you can know relationship to everything, because in this one |
D:Day35.2 | In this fullness of | being there is only love. In this fullness of being is found the |
D:Day35.2 | In this fullness of being there is only love. In this fullness of | being is found the means for the extension of love. In this fullness |
D:Day35.2 | is found the means for the extension of love. In this fullness of | being is found the cause for love. Means and end are one. Cause and |
D:Day35.2 | love. Means and end are one. Cause and effect the same. Fullness of | being is thus the answer that you have sought and that you have |
D:Day35.3 | This fullness of | being is different for each one of you because it is the cause and |
D:Day35.3 | You have always existed in relationship with God who is your | being. But while it has been said that you are one in being and |
D:Day35.3 | who is your being. But while it has been said that you are one in | being and different in relationship, relationship is also God. God is |
D:Day35.4 | in relationship to yourself and others, without realizing that your | being is God, that others are one with you, that God is the |
D:Day35.5 | you might ask, was it once possible for you to be so unaware of your | being that you were not sharing the relationship of everything with |
D:Day35.7 | and equal manner, to the most elemental and fundamental aspects of | being human, while carrying within you a very elemental and |
D:Day35.7 | a very elemental and fundamental idea—the idea that you are one in | being and different in relationship. The idea that you return to your |
D:Day35.11 | a desire to know a higher self. You return knowing you are one in | being with your Creator and accepting your power to create. You |
D:Day35.13 | Unity is oneness of | being. Relationship is different expressions of oneness of being. |
D:Day35.13 | of being. Relationship is different expressions of oneness of | being. |
D:Day35.14 | Being a creator must begin with full realization of oneness of being, | |
D:Day35.14 | Being a creator must begin with full realization of oneness of | being, which is unity, because without this full realization the |
D:Day35.18 | Being a creator, and creating anew, is different than being affected | |
D:Day35.18 | Being a creator, and creating anew, is different than | being affected by the ongoing nature of creation. Saying that you |
D:Day35.20 | And yet you are not | being called upon to create as you have been, but to create as who |
D:Day35.20 | upon to create as you have been, but to create as who you truly are | being. You are called to nothing short of creating a new heaven and a |
D:Day35.20 | than the miracle does. It does not entail choice. It is a way of | being. When you are fully aware of your oneness of being and begin to |
D:Day35.20 | It is a way of being. When you are fully aware of your oneness of | being and begin to create in unity and relationship, you will do so |
D:Day35.20 | begin to create in unity and relationship, you will do so by simply | being who you are being, just as you have “created” during the time |
D:Day35.20 | unity and relationship, you will do so by simply being who you are | being, just as you have “created” during the time of your separation |
D:Day35.20 | just as you have “created” during the time of your separation by | being who you have thought yourself to be. |
D:Day36.4 | Powerlessness is moving through life as a | being without the power to create. |
D:Day36.7 | in creatorship. Creator and creation are one. You are one in | being with the power of creation and different in your relationship |
D:Day36.9 | You have always been creating because you have always been one in | being with God who is endlessly creating. But you are only now a |
D:Day36.10 | same difference is what is meant when it is said that you are one in | being and different in relationship. Without your awareness of unity |
D:Day36.10 | just as with all and nothing, there was no difference between your | being and God's being without relationship. You could conceive of |
D:Day36.10 | and nothing, there was no difference between your being and God's | being without relationship. You could conceive of self and God in |
D:Day36.10 | but only perceive of difference. You thus always remained one in | being with God, yet continued to relate only to a world and to |
D:Day36.10 | to relate only to a world and to experiences you perceived as | being either created by a separate God or created by your separate |
D:Day36.10 | God or created by your separate self. You experienced the power of | being because you were a being who existed, but you did not |
D:Day36.10 | separate self. You experienced the power of being because you were a | being who existed, but you did not experience being powerful. |
D:Day36.10 | because you were a being who existed, but you did not experience | being powerful. |
D:Day36.11 | There is only difference between your | being and God in relationship. This is the example that the ideas of |
D:Day36.11 | Spirit in relationship. Without relationship, God is simply all— | being. Without relationship, what is not God is simply being—simply |
D:Day36.11 | simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not God is simply | being—simply existing at the opposite end of the continuum of |
D:Day36.12 | to the power of creation. The illusion is an illusion of simply | being. Is this not how you have seen yourself? As a simple being |
D:Day36.12 | of simply being. Is this not how you have seen yourself? As a simple | being doing your best to live the life you've been given? All the |
D:Day36.12 | this one before you now, have made no difference to your state of | being. You have just kept being, kept making choices between one |
D:Day36.12 | have made no difference to your state of being. You have just kept | being, kept making choices between one illusion and another in your |
D:Day36.13 | felt completely real to you and is completely real to the separate | being you have been being. |
D:Day36.13 | to you and is completely real to the separate being you have been | being. |
D:Day36.14 | Because you have always been one in | being with God, this power—this power of being—has always been |
D:Day36.14 | have always been one in being with God, this power—this power of | being—has always been yours. The power to feel—love, hate, anger, |
D:Day36.15 | To be a | being of feeling, thought, creativity and knowing or perception is to |
D:Day36.15 | thought, creativity and knowing or perception is to be one in | being with God. Accept this, for this is what God is and what you |
D:Day36.15 | God. Accept this, for this is what God is and what you are. This is | being. To be one in being with God and yet to exist outside of the |
D:Day36.15 | this is what God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in | being with God and yet to exist outside of the powerful state of |
D:Day36.16 | When you realize that you are one in | being with God and different in relationship you accept the power of |
D:Day36.16 | being with God and different in relationship you accept the power of | being, or individuating God. You accept the power of God. You become |
D:Day36.17 | God remains God who is one in | being with all, and God also is given form, or is, in other words, |
D:Day36.17 | differentiation, God is you as you are God. God retains oneness of | being and also becomes a being in union and relationship—in short— |
D:Day36.17 | you as you are God. God retains oneness of being and also becomes a | being in union and relationship—in short—a being in union and |
D:Day36.17 | and also becomes a being in union and relationship—in short—a | being in union and relationship with you. |
D:Day36.18 | You are not replaced by God whom you have always been one with in | being. You simply accept the truth of being and the truth of being in |
D:Day36.18 | have always been one with in being. You simply accept the truth of | being and the truth of being in union and relationship. Both at the |
D:Day36.18 | with in being. You simply accept the truth of being and the truth of | being in union and relationship. Both at the same time. Both/and |
D:Day36.19 | seem heretical to some of you when it is stated as directly as it is | being stated here. But our time together is coming to an end and your |
D:Day37.2 | If you no longer believe in God as a supreme and separate | being, why should it be difficult to see that God is being? This is |
D:Day37.2 | and separate being, why should it be difficult to see that God is | being? This is not much different than saying that the most basic |
D:Day37.2 | than saying that the most basic truth about you is that you are | being—and that the most basic truth about God is that God is being. |
D:Day37.2 | are being—and that the most basic truth about God is that God is | being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define who you are |
D:Day37.2 | truth about God is that God is being. Yet the fact that you are | being does not define who you are any better than the earlier example |
D:Day37.2 | example of your experiences would define who you are, because | being, by itself, does not differentiate or individuate you. |
D:Day37.3 | Recall that creation begins with movement. | Being is only being in relationship. Movement nor experience exist |
D:Day37.3 | Recall that creation begins with movement. Being is only | being in relationship. Movement nor experience exist without |
D:Day37.3 | —as nothing exists without relationship. But relationship, like | being and experience, does not differentiate or individuate you in |
D:Day37.3 | thinking: that is, you are a woman and not a man, you are a human | being and not a divine being, you are a person and not a tree. As a |
D:Day37.3 | are a woman and not a man, you are a human being and not a divine | being, you are a person and not a tree. As a separate being, you only |
D:Day37.3 | not a divine being, you are a person and not a tree. As a separate | being, you only relate to other separate things. In short, who you |
D:Day37.3 | you only relate to other separate things. In short, who you are | being is all predicated, first and foremost, by the relationship that |
D:Day37.3 | see yourself as separate from it, all that you experience with your | being is separation. All that you represent with your being is a |
D:Day37.3 | with your being is separation. All that you represent with your | being is a separate being or a separate self. |
D:Day37.3 | is separation. All that you represent with your being is a separate | being or a separate self. |
D:Day37.4 | This could not help but be your perception since you came into | being in a known world, where you were told that you are a person |
D:Day37.4 | and yet you were taught to experience only in separation from the | being you were being. And thus, not knowing your union and |
D:Day37.4 | were taught to experience only in separation from the being you were | being. And thus, not knowing your union and relationship with your |
D:Day37.4 | being. And thus, not knowing your union and relationship with your | being, but only your separate relationships with “others,” you saw |
D:Day37.4 | separate relationships with “others,” you saw yourself as a separate | being, and incapable of creating anything except, just possibly, the |
D:Day37.6 | The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth. God is | being in unity and relationship. So are you. |
D:Day37.7 | God as if distinction means separation—as if God is a separate | being. If this were all this idea was, it would not be so difficult |
D:Day37.7 | you are separate, you created God as a particular and separate | being. |
D:Day37.8 | to continue a certain reliance. Your differentiation from the | being of God can only come through the relationship and unity that |
D:Day37.9 | God is that you want to believe that there is a compassionate | being in charge of everything, looking out for you, there to help |
D:Day37.9 | you, there to help when you are in need. God is all compassionate | being everywhere—not one being of compassion! In union and |
D:Day37.9 | you are in need. God is all compassionate being everywhere—not one | being of compassion! In union and relationship you realize this. And |
D:Day37.9 | you realize this. And you realize that all compassionate | being everywhere is a consciousness or beingness that you share. And |
D:Day37.9 | you realize that what is possible is for you to become the one | being of compassion that you already are in God. |
D:Day37.10 | And then you realize that Jesus was | being God and was called Jesus Christ because he lived within |
D:Day37.11 | was not destroyed by the removal of the parts. You “remain” one in | being. You “remain,” just as the numbers of simple mathematics |
D:Day37.11 | remain, one with the whole. You have seen yourself as capable of | being divisible from that which is your Source, but division, like |
D:Day37.12 | Let us look for a moment at what and who you have been | being and what and who God has been being. |
D:Day37.12 | at what and who you have been being and what and who God has been | being. |
D:Day37.13 | You have, quite simply, been | being. The simple truth that you are a being makes you one with God, |
D:Day37.13 | You have, quite simply, been being. The simple truth that you are a | being makes you one with God, who is being. This truth, however, has |
D:Day37.13 | The simple truth that you are a being makes you one with God, who is | being. This truth, however, has escaped you. So you have been being |
D:Day37.13 | who is being. This truth, however, has escaped you. So you have been | being the particular self you have “known” or perceived yourself to |
D:Day37.13 | yourself to be—the self you were defined as at birth—a human | being—something you have seen as separate rather than distinct from |
D:Day37.13 | you have seen as separate rather than distinct from the divine | being who is God. Because you are being, however, (and note here that |
D:Day37.13 | than distinct from the divine being who is God. Because you are | being, however, (and note here that you are being, and God is being, |
D:Day37.13 | is God. Because you are being, however, (and note here that you are | being, and God is being, and that it is not being said that either |
D:Day37.13 | are being, however, (and note here that you are being, and God is | being, and that it is not being said that either you or God are “a” |
D:Day37.13 | note here that you are being, and God is being, and that it is not | being said that either you or God are “a” being) you have power—the |
D:Day37.13 | being, and that it is not being said that either you or God are “a” | being) you have power—the power of being which is the power of |
D:Day37.13 | that either you or God are “a” being) you have power—the power of | being which is the power of thought, feeling, creating, and |
D:Day37.15 | than even all of this, you might ask, if you are one in | being with God, is it being said that you are being God? That you |
D:Day37.15 | all of this, you might ask, if you are one in being with God, is it | being said that you are being God? That you have been being God even |
D:Day37.15 | ask, if you are one in being with God, is it being said that you are | being God? That you have been being God even within the limited |
D:Day37.15 | God, is it being said that you are being God? That you have been | being God even within the limited parameters of life as you have |
D:Day37.16 | Unfortunately, this is not what is | being said. What is being said is that you are simply being. You are |
D:Day37.16 | Unfortunately, this is not what is being said. What is | being said is that you are simply being. You are being a feeling, |
D:Day37.16 | is not what is being said. What is being said is that you are simply | being. You are being a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving human |
D:Day37.16 | being said. What is being said is that you are simply being. You are | being a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving human being because |
D:Day37.16 | being. You are being a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving human | being because this is what you believe yourself to be. You may see |
D:Day37.16 | you believe yourself to be. You may see yourself as a separate human | being having a separate and distinct relationship with God, by which |
D:Day37.16 | for which you have experiential or scientific proof. As a separate | being unable to know, you have been forced, or so you think, to rely |
D:Day37.17 | knowing have been used together here in describing the conditions of | being because you must be able to perceive in order to be a being. |
D:Day37.17 | of being because you must be able to perceive in order to be a | being. But knowing is also used because you are, as a being, just as |
D:Day37.17 | order to be a being. But knowing is also used because you are, as a | being, just as capable of knowing as you are of perceiving. In |
D:Day37.17 | it would be like to know God, but you cannot know, and your separate | being “knows” of this impossibility. This is why this Course has had, |
D:Day37.17 | objective, returning you to true knowing of your Self. A separate | being can only truly know itself. Yet in knowing yourself, you can |
D:Day37.18 | Certainly you “feel” like an individuated | being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you feel pain, and both |
D:Day37.18 | Certainly you “feel” like an individuated being, a unique | being. You “feel” love and you feel pain, and both feel quite |
D:Day37.18 | one else's. You feel like a “you.” This too is “who” you have been | being, because as a being you feel. But here again, you have felt |
D:Day37.18 | like a “you.” This too is “who” you have been being, because as a | being you feel. But here again, you have felt only as a being in |
D:Day37.18 | because as a being you feel. But here again, you have felt only as a | being in separation can feel. You know that despite how often someone |
D:Day37.18 | how you feel and who you are. But you have felt doomed to never | being known and to never really sharing how you feel. |
D:Day37.19 | This is “who” you have been | being. |
D:Day37.21 | God is | being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you. |
D:Day37.21 | and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you. God is one in | being with you because you are one aspect of everything. As one being |
D:Day37.21 | in being with you because you are one aspect of everything. As one | being in unity and relationship with everything God is one with every |
D:Day37.21 | and the collective consciousness is that which links every | being with every other being in unity and relationship. |
D:Day37.21 | consciousness is that which links every being with every other | being in unity and relationship. |
D:Day37.22 | can also be confusing if it leads to thoughts of God as a particular | being. Yet the idea of God as Father, introduced and championed by |
D:Day37.24 | life used throughout this Course, was both man and God. He was | being in unity and relationship. Being God did not negate his being |
D:Day37.24 | was both man and God. He was being in unity and relationship. | Being God did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not |
D:Day37.24 | He was being in unity and relationship. Being God did not negate his | being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate God being God. Jesus |
D:Day37.24 | and relationship. Being God did not negate his being Jesus. And | being Jesus did not negate God being God. Jesus could create God the |
D:Day37.24 | did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate God | being God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a being |
D:Day37.24 | God being God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a | being consistent with his being, because he was a creator. He was, in |
D:Day37.24 | create God the Father, could create a being consistent with his | being, because he was a creator. He was, in short, being in union and |
D:Day37.24 | with his being, because he was a creator. He was, in short, | being in union and relationship. |
D:Day37.25 | Jesus while at the same time each was different or individuated by | being in union and relationship. |
D:Day37.26 | to “all” that exists in union and relationship through your | being. |
D:Day37.27 | By simply | being, you have been “part” of God but you have not seen this as what |
D:Day37.27 | not seen this as what it really means either. You have seen this as | being separate, or at most as being “a” part of God—as if you are a |
D:Day37.27 | means either. You have seen this as being separate, or at most as | being “a” part of God—as if you are a drop of water in the ocean— |
D:Day37.27 | of God and the lowliness of man. The “part” of God you have been | being is being. You have been a feeling, thinking, creating, |
D:Day37.27 | and the lowliness of man. The “part” of God you have been being is | being. You have been a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving being. |
D:Day37.27 | is being. You have been a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving | being. The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember, |
D:Day37.27 | creating, perceiving being. The “part” of God you have not been | being is union. Remember, God is being in union and relationship. |
D:Day37.27 | The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember, God is | being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is being. |
D:Day37.27 | God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is | being. God is relationship. God is union. |
D:Day37.29 | Like heart, mind, and body is to your form, | being, union, and relationship is to God's “form.” |
D:Day37.30 | You have been | being, and you have been being in relationship because you could not |
D:Day37.30 | You have been being, and you have been | being in relationship because you could not “be” otherwise, but you |
D:Day37.30 | because you could not “be” otherwise, but you have not been | being in union. |
D:Day37.31 | The divineness of your | being is most revealed in relationship. The divineness of your being |
D:Day37.31 | your being is most revealed in relationship. The divineness of your | being is most revealed when you cooperatively join with another or |
D:Day37.31 | you move the particular self aside and sometimes glimpse the divine | being in relationship. But because you have so clung to separation, |
D:Day37.32 | Glimpses of the | being you are being when you are in unity and relationship have been |
D:Day37.32 | Glimpses of the being you are | being when you are in unity and relationship have been offered to |
D:Day38.3 | set aside once again the “we” of Christ-consciousness, of our shared | being, and enter into relationship with one another. I ask you to |
D:Day38.4 | Being full of love for one another is the beginning of extension, the | |
D:Day38.4 | the feelings of withdrawal you experienced when you felt loved for | being something other than that which you are. Know, through your |

D:Day38.10 | Relationship and union are not other than this. | Being in relationship and union means just that. It means a love |
D:Day38.10 | any love you have known, for in not owning and possessing, in not | being owned and possessed by, and in, union and relationship, you |
D:Day38.11 | who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of individuated or differentiated | being in union and relationship. |
D:Day38.13 | who are separate but relating in union. We are each other's own | being. We are one and we are many. We are the same and we are |
D:Day38.13 | we are different. In “own”-ership we are full of one another's own | being. We are each other's own. |

D:Day39.3 | have heard of life spoken of as a projection. Because we are all one | being, we must either extend or project in order to individuate and |
D:Day39.5 | importance of your knowing who I Am to you, and of the importance of | being able to continually discover who I Am to you. Of your embrace |
D:Day39.5 | me as your God and as God of all. Of knowing you are no longer | being on your own and yet of having to come to this realization of |
D:Day39.6 | all and still hold the mystery. This revelation is not something | being withheld from you. But it is a revelation that can only come to |
D:Day39.6 | But it is a revelation that can only come to you as an individuated | being in union and relationship. This is what makes it a true |
D:Day39.7 | the Christ “in” you. Remember that you have been told of Christ | being a bridge. When you relate to anyone, Christ is there, bridging |
D:Day39.8 | because the boundaries of separation have fallen. To be individuated | being in union and relationship is to be Christ, to realize that what |
D:Day39.9 | Being in union is being all. Being in union and relationship requires | |

D:Day39.11 | relationships, love relationships and work relationships, and that | being in relationship with “others” is an inescapable truism of your |
D:Day39.11 | of union, for union is no more than this, as we are one in | being and when you have discovered relationship, we are one in union |

D:Day40.5 | bridges through relationship. Your attributes are the attributes of | being in relationship. You came into the world, into form, as a being |
D:Day40.5 | of being in relationship. You came into the world, into form, as a | being in relationship. The application of your being to relationship, |

D:Day40.6 | separate rather than distinct from who I am being and who others are | being. Your attempt at individuation and extension, an attempt |
D:Day40.6 | and extension, an attempt consistent with the nature of your | being, failed only because you experienced separation rather than |
D:Day40.7 | When I created, I extended my | being, a being of love, into form. Through that extension, I became I |
D:Day40.7 | When I created, I extended my being, a | being of love, into form. Through that extension, I became I Am. I |
D:Day40.8 | When you create, you create as my relation. You extend your | being into form. That form then becomes. It becomes who you are. Both |
D:Day40.9 | within you as you return to love and to level ground as who I Am | being. |
D:Day40.10 | tries to bring form to the formless. Why? Because the nature of a | being of love is to extend. The nature of a being of love is to bring |
D:Day40.10 | Because the nature of a being of love is to extend. The nature of a | being of love is to bring form to the formless—to bring love into |

D:Day40.12 | Help you understand that you are being, and that you are also | being some one? You have been being separate—a separate being with |

D:Day40.28 | Further, this is saying that who you are | being in relationship to all that is love is up to you. That through |
D:Day40.28 | the application of your thinking, feeling, creating, and knowing | being to all that you are in relationship with, you extend who you |
D:Day40.28 | who you are. This is saying that through the application of your | being to all that you are in relationship with you create. You give |
D:Day40.28 | You give attributes and you take on attributes. You individuate your | being in union and relationship. And in union and relationship, you |
D:Day40.29 | Who you are | being in union and relationship with me, is me, as well as you. This |
D:Day40.30 | greatest gift of all. It is the end of becoming and the beginning of | being who you are. With this gift comes the ability to be known and |
D:Day40.31 | this Course and the related materials? Has it not been a feeling of | being known? Has this Course not addressed the questions, the |
D:Day40.33 | of our relationship within you? Will you be one with me, and in | being one with me never feel alone again? Will you let the emptiness |

E.20 | your being will not have the chance to realize and make real its | being. You will be different, only if you allow and will yourself to |
E.20 | make real this difference. It is a difference between becoming and | being. It is all the difference in the world. It is the difference |
E.21 | would consider character flaws or faults, forget about them now. In | being they will be yours or they will not. You will be happy that you |
E.21 | not expect the same unhappiness with yourself. You are fine. You are | being. You are being fine. So be it. |
E.21 | same unhappiness with yourself. You are fine. You are being. You are | being fine. So be it. |
E.22 | If you will but let it come, you will see that you are | being who you are being for a reason, for a purpose, a purpose that |
E.22 | will but let it come, you will see that you are being who you are | being for a reason, for a purpose, a purpose that will be so clear to |
E.22 | clear to you that you will joyously accept yourself for who you are | being. So be it. |
E.23 | It will be possible for you, for a while, to drift between | being and becoming if you are not vigilant of your thought processes. |

Tx:1.22 | 22. Miracles are associated with fear only because of the fallacious | belief that darkness can hide. Man believes that what he cannot see |
Tx:1.65 | has been a confusion of levels. Death is a human affirmation of a | belief in “[hate],” or level confusion. That is why the Bible says, |
Tx:1.66 | whatever extent he permits it. Your witnessing demonstrates your | belief and thus strengthens it. Those who witness for me are |
Tx:1.66 | are expressing through their miracles that they have abandoned the | belief in deprivation in favor of the abundance they have learned |
Tx:1.90 | not a divine attribute. The body is the mechanism for behavior. The | belief that he could be better off is the reason why man has this |
Tx:1.93 | Who has perfect faith in His creations because He created them. | Belief in a creation produces its existence. That is why a man can |

Tx:2.9 | Third, the | belief that man can distort the creations of God, including |
Tx:2.19 | denial is a powerful protective device. You can and should deny any | belief that error can hurt you. This kind of denial is not a |

Tx:2.53 | result of level confusion in the sense that it always entails the | belief that what is amiss in one level can adversely affect another. |

Tx:2.60 | may unwittingly foster the belief that release is imprisonment, a | belief that is very prevalent. This misperception arose from the |
Tx:2.67 | the awakening of the Spiritual eye and the turning away from the | belief in physical sight. The reason this so often entails fear is |
Tx:2.69 | it was completely unnecessary. Like all aspects of the space-time | belief, healing ability is temporary. However, as long as time |
Tx:2.90 | It is hard to recognize that thought and | belief combine into a power surge that can literally move mountains. |
Tx:2.98 | believes he cannot control fear because he himself created it. His | belief in it seems to render it out of his control by definition. Yet |
Tx:2.105 | he becomes egocentric, and this places him in a position where the | belief in magic in some form is virtually inevitable. His will to |
Tx:2.110 | will inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's | belief, will no longer exist. The term “Last Judgment” is frightening |
Tx:3.16 | of error is responsible for a host of related errors including the | belief that God rejected man and forced him out of the Garden of |
Tx:3.27 | lack confidence in what someone will do, you are attesting to your | belief that he is not in his right mind. This is hardly a |

Tx:3.57 | else. Perception, on the other hand, is impossible without a | belief in “more” and “less.” Perception at every level involves |
Tx:3.62 | been perceived. One of the illusions from which man suffers is the | belief that what he judged against has no effect. This cannot be true |
Tx:3.62 | whether you judge right or wrong. Either way, you are placing your | belief in the unreal. This cannot be avoided in any type of judgment, |

Tx:3.67 | The | belief is very frightening to them but hardly troubles God. He is, |
Tx:3.72 | lies in what rests upon them. Both are cornerstones for systems of | belief by which men live. It is a mistake to believe that a thought |
Tx:3.76 | only sense in which God and His Souls are not co-creators. The | belief that they are is implicit in the “self concept,” a concept |
Tx:3.77 | correctly, you can only be glad that you cannot. But until then, the | belief that you can is the central foundation stone in your thought |
Tx:3.78 | The mind can make the | belief in separation very real and very fearful, and this belief |
Tx:3.78 | the belief in separation very real and very fearful, and this | belief is the “devil.” It is powerful, active, destructive, and |

Tx:4.28 | Belief is an ego function, and as long as your origin is open to | |
Tx:4.28 | Belief is an ego function, and as long as your origin is open to | belief at all, you are regarding it from an ego viewpoint. [That is |
Tx:4.28 | Bible quotes me as saying “Ye believe in God, believe also in me.” | Belief does apply to me, because I am the teacher of the ego.] When |
Tx:4.28 | When teaching is no longer necessary, you will merely know God. | Belief that there is another way is the loftiest idea of which ego |
Tx:4.33 | itself, because this premise is its foundation. The ego is the | belief of the mind that it is completely on its own. Its ceaseless |
Tx:4.48 | separation, and its continued existence depends on your continuing | belief in the separation. Having reduced the Soul impulses to the |
Tx:4.48 | the ego has to offer you some sort of reward for maintaining this | belief. All it can offer is a sense of temporary existence, which |

Tx:4.55 | would undertake to believe what is not true and then protect this | belief at the cost of truth? |
Tx:4.63 | slip away. The problem is not one of concentration; it is the | belief that no one, including yourself, is worth consistent effort. |
Tx:4.63 | consistently against this deception, and do not permit this shabby | belief to pull you back. The disheartened are useless to themselves |
Tx:4.71 | is its own best argument that you cannot be of God. This is the | belief that the ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego hates the body |
Tx:4.85 | The ego is nothing more than a part of your | belief about yourselves. Your other life has continued without |
Tx:4.88 | to believe that you are. The ego is a device for maintaining this | belief, but it is still only your willingness to use the device |
Tx:4.104 | broken bodies are often looked down on by the ego because of its | belief that nothing but a perfect body is worthy as its own temple. |

Tx:5.21 | You are the Kingdom of Heaven, but you have let the | belief in darkness enter your minds, and so you need a new light. The |
Tx:5.31 | The power of our joint motivation is beyond | belief but not beyond accomplishment. What we can accomplish |
Tx:5.37 | is an idea of God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a | belief of the ego, so the lower mind, which is the ego's domain, |

Tx:5.89 | This knowledge plagued Freud's | belief in his own thought system at every turn because he was both an |

Tx:6.27 | Projection will always hurt you. It reinforces your | belief in your own split mind, and its only purpose is to keep the |
Tx:6.30 | You cannot change it now or ever. It is forever true. It is not a | belief but a fact. Anything that God create[s] is as true as He is. |
Tx:6.54 | to the awareness of their perfection and thus side with the | belief that those who have everything need help and are therefore |
Tx:6.64 | You cannot perform miracles without believing it, because it is a | belief in perfect equality. Only one equal gift can be offered to |
Tx:6.88 | are not recognizing this mutual exclusiveness and are holding the | belief that you can choose either one. By teaching what to |
Tx:6.90 | the Kingdom and have therefore excluded yourself from it in your | belief. It is therefore essential to teach you that you must be |
Tx:6.91 | said that altars are beliefs, but God and His creations are beyond | belief, because they are beyond question. The Voice for God speaks |
Tx:6.91 | which is the preparation for being without question. As long as | belief in God and His Kingdom is assailed by any doubts in your |
Tx:6.91 | creation and therefore does engender doubt. You cannot go beyond | belief until you believe fully. |
Tx:7.28 | this idea, because all your conflicts come from it. It is the | belief that conflicting interests are possible, and therefore you |
Tx:7.36 | Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the way to undo the | belief in differences, being the only way of perceiving the Sonship |
Tx:7.36 | being the only way of perceiving the Sonship without this | belief. This perception is therefore in accord with the laws of |
Tx:7.41 | or for magic, but you must remember that magic is always the | belief that healing is harmful. This is its totally insane premise, |
Tx:7.43 | not be experiencing himself as truly helpful at the time, but the | belief that he is, in the mind of another, helps him. |
Tx:7.61 | find this difficult is because you think there is something else. | Belief does not require vigilance unless it is conflicted. If it |
Tx:7.65 | the Holy Spirit, because your being is the knowledge of God. Any | belief that you accept which is apart from this will obscure God's |
Tx:7.79 | to God, the ego is incapable of trust. Projecting its insane | belief that you have been treacherous to your Creator, it |
Tx:7.85 | do not want by giving it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The | belief that by giving it out you have excluded it from within is |
Tx:7.87 | to break into pieces, and mind cannot attack or be attacked. The | belief that it can, a fallacy which the ego always makes, |
Tx:7.87 | its existence is dependent on your mind, because the ego is your | belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in identification which |
Tx:7.88 | you made it by believing in it, so you can dispel it by withdrawing | belief from it. Do not project the responsibility for your belief |
Tx:7.88 | belief from it. Do not project the responsibility for your | belief in it onto anyone else, or you will preserve the belief. |
Tx:7.88 | for your belief in it onto anyone else, or you will preserve the | belief. When you are willing to accept sole responsibility for the |
Tx:7.89 | The Holy Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond | belief, because truth is beyond belief, and His perception is |
Tx:7.89 | teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond | belief, and His perception is true. The ego can be completely |
Tx:7.89 | can be completely forgotten at any time, because it was always a | belief that is totally incredible. No one can keep a belief he has |
Tx:7.89 | was always a belief that is totally incredible. No one can keep a | belief he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you learn about the |
Tx:7.89 | unbelievable must be apparent, but it is not recognized as beyond | belief, because it was made by belief. |
Tx:7.89 | it is not recognized as beyond belief, because it was made by | belief. |
Tx:7.90 | accepting the Atonement for yourself, you are deciding against the | belief that you can be alone, thus dispelling the idea of |
Tx:7.90 | of you. This identification is as beyond doubt as it is beyond | belief. Your wholeness has no limits, because being is in infinity. |
Tx:7.104 | the follower is. However, this too is merely a matter of his own | belief. Believing that he can betray, he believes that everything |
Tx:8.28 | The world must despise and reject me, because the world is the | belief that love is impossible. Your reactions to me are the |
Tx:8.50 | God's own treasure do not regard yourselves as valuable. Given this | belief, you cannot understand anything. I share with God the |
Tx:8.53 | to accept this interpretation. You are accepting it simply by the | belief that attack can get you something you want. If you did not |
Tx:8.57 | to belittle himself in your mind, but give him freedom from his | belief in littleness and thus escape from yours. As part of you, |
Tx:8.59 | orders of miracles do. Thought cannot be made into flesh except by | belief, since thought is not physical. Yet thought is |
Tx:8.62 | by making whole, which is also natural. All mind is whole, and the | belief that part of it is physical, or not mind, is a fragmented |
Tx:8.68 | from the results of what is not true. Free your minds from the | belief that this is possible. In its complete impossibility and |
Tx:8.72 | It has been particularly difficult to overcome the ego's | belief in the body as an end, because this is synonymous with the |
Tx:8.72 | belief in the body as an end, because this is synonymous with the | belief in attack as an end. The ego has a real investment in |
Tx:8.72 | in sickness. If you are sick, how can you object to the ego's firm | belief that you are not invulnerable? This is a particularly |
Tx:8.80 | to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's | belief that the body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that |
Tx:8.96 | it is the same as God's. The separation is nothing more than the | belief that it is different. |
Tx:8.101 | the impossible, believing that to achieve it is success? The | belief that you must have the impossible in order to be happy is |
Tx:8.102 | The fact that God is love does not require | belief, but it does require acceptance. It is indeed possible for |
Tx:8.114 | your brothers because I believe in you, and you will learn that my | belief in you is justified. Believe in me by believing in them for |
Tx:9.9 | Atonement is for all, because it is the way to undo the | belief that anything is for you alone. To forgive is to overlook. |
Tx:9.14 | the beginning and thus keeping it unreal for you. Do not let any | belief in its realness enter your minds at all, or you will also |
Tx:9.43 | You cannot evaluate an insane | belief system from within it. Its own range precludes this. You can |
Tx:9.44 | that arises from it means anything. The Holy Spirit judges every | belief you hold in terms of where it comes from. If it comes from |
Tx:9.49 | real. It is an attempt to counteract your littleness, based on the | belief that the littleness is real. Without this belief, |
Tx:9.49 | based on the belief that the littleness is real. Without this | belief, grandiosity is meaningless, and you could not possibly want |
Tx:9.54 | have replaced it with something you have made. Perhaps it is the | belief in littleness; perhaps it is the belief in grandiosity. Yet it |
Tx:9.54 | have made. Perhaps it is the belief in littleness; perhaps it is the | belief in grandiosity. Yet it must be insane because it is not |
Tx:9.58 | hear, for God does not deceive. He would have you replace the ego's | belief in littleness with His own exalted answer to the question of |
Tx:9.77 | power and never usurps it. Sickness is idolatry, because it is the | belief that power can be taken from you. Yet this is impossible, |
Tx:9.84 | and worship him because he was made as God's replacement. He is the | belief that you can choose which god is real. Although it is |
Tx:10.14 | to know God's Will because you believe it is not yours. This | belief is your whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of |
Tx:10.14 | Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here because this is the | belief that makes you want not to know. Believing this, you hide in |
Tx:10.41 | to do something, and the whole separation fallacy lies in the | belief that the ego has the power to do anything. The ego is |
Tx:10.44 | that stems from the ego is the natural outcome of its central | belief, and the way to undo its results is merely to recognize that |
Tx:10.45 | Can you believe that autonomy is meaningful apart from Him? The | belief in ego autonomy is costing you the knowledge of your |
Tx:10.47 | to your allegiance is that it can give power to you. Without this | belief, you would not listen to it at all. How, then, can its |
Tx:10.53 | and truth lie in separation, and to establish this | belief it must attack. Unaware that the belief cannot be |
Tx:10.53 | and to establish this belief it must attack. Unaware that the | belief cannot be established and obsessed with the conviction that |
Tx:10.60 | interpreting against it and therefore do not believe it. And if | belief determines perception, you do not perceive what it means and |
Tx:11.11 | false, for it was made out of denial, and denial depends on the real | belief in what is denied for its own existence. |
Tx:11.12 | fear correctly as a positive affirmation of the underlying | belief it masks, you are undermining its perceived usefulness by |
Tx:11.26 | to be saved by attack. If he attacks, you are agreeing with this | belief, and if you attack, you are reinforcing it. Remember that |
Tx:11.65 | you have two functions, so long will you need correction. For this | belief is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct opposition to |
Tx:11.86 | They appear to lose what they love, perhaps the most insane | belief of all. And their bodies wither and gasp and are laid in the |
Tx:11.87 | that it was the Father Who drove him out of paradise. For in that | belief, the knowledge of the Father was lost, since only those who do |
Tx:11.94 | can you understand his oneness. For the idea of guilt brings a | belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting separation in |
Tx:12.3 | The darkest of your hidden cornerstones holds your | belief in guilt from your awareness. For in that dark and secret |
Tx:12.14 | You have built your whole insane | belief system because you think you would be helpless in God's |
Tx:13.12 | in it is pain. And faith can be rewarded only in terms of the | belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the power of |
Tx:13.12 | the belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the power of | belief, and where it is invested determines its reward. For faith is |
Tx:13.15 | believe this not. For sin and condemnation are the same, and the | belief in one is faith in the other, calling for punishment instead |
Tx:13.33 | Like you my faith and my | belief are centered on what I treasure. The difference is that I love |
Tx:13.33 | placed upon you. I love all that He created, and all my faith and my | belief I offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the love I |
Tx:13.42 | cannot be broken. You may believe you want it broken, and this | belief does interfere with the deep peace in which the sweet and |
Tx:13.51 | he gives to them. The thoughts he shares with God are beyond his | belief, but those he made are his beliefs. And it is these, and |
Tx:13.71 | whatever he may try to do to you, your perfect freedom from the | belief that you can be harmed shows him he is guiltless. He can do |
Tx:13.72 | The causeless cannot be. Do not attest to it, and do not foster | belief in it in any mind. Remember always that mind is one and |
Tx:14.19 | perfectly clear. Keep not guilt and guiltlessness apart, for your | belief that you can have them both is meaningless. All you have |
Tx:14.25 | cornerstone of fear on which you have erected your insane system of | belief, the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by |
Tx:14.26 | impossible. It is therefore not a point of view at all but merely a | belief in something that does not exist. It is only this belief that |
Tx:14.26 | merely a belief in something that does not exist. It is only this | belief that the unknowing have, and by it they are wrong about |
Tx:14.27 | is a distorted process of thinking whereby two systems of | belief which cannot coexist are both maintained. It has been |
Tx:14.28 | from sight, for each in a separate place can be endowed with firm | belief. Bring them together, and the fact of their complete |
Tx:15.2 | One source of perceived discouragement from which you suffer is your | belief that this takes time, and that the results of the Holy |
Tx:15.2 | to your identification with the ego, which uses time to support its | belief in destruction. The ego, like the Holy Spirit, uses time to |
Tx:15.3 | that Heaven is not for you. How can the guilty hope for Heaven? The | belief in hell is inescapable to those who identify with the ego. |
Tx:15.7 | still believe that it can offer the escape from it. But the | belief in guilt must lead to the belief in hell, and always |
Tx:15.7 | the escape from it. But the belief in guilt must lead to the | belief in hell, and always does. The only way in which the ego |
Tx:15.8 | no hell. Hell is only what the ego has made of the present. The | belief in hell is what prevents you from understanding the present, |
Tx:15.22 | little because it is a world made out of littleness in the strange | belief that littleness can content you. When you strive for anything |
Tx:15.22 | can content you. When you strive for anything in this world with the | belief that it will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and |
Tx:15.28 | Decide for God through Him. For littleness and the | belief that you can be content with littleness are the decisions you |
Tx:15.47 | relationships, with special love, can offer you salvation is the | belief that separation is salvation. For it is the complete |
Tx:15.68 | The ego wishes no one well. Yet its survival depends on your | belief that you are exempt from its evil intentions. It counsels, |
Tx:15.68 | relationships, forged out of anger and dedicated to but one insane | belief—that the more anger you invest outside yourself, the safer |
Tx:15.90 | and what the Holy Spirit must undo to set him free. For his | belief in limits has imprisoned him. |
Tx:15.105 | accomplish this yourselves when the basis of your attempts is the | belief in the reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds |
Tx:15.105 | of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack, being the | belief that attack is justified. And as long as you would retain |
Tx:16.75 | to truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed | belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy |
Tx:17.5 | trying to make illusions real and keep them by justifying your | belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to |
Tx:18.40 | and remain unwilling to give place to One Who knows. The whole | belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. |
Tx:18.50 | God give but knowledge of Himself? What else is there to give? The | belief that you could give and get something else, something |
Tx:18.71 | that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The | belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the |
Tx:19.6 | upon the mind and not the body. The inevitable compromise is the | belief that the body must be healed, and not the mind. For this |
Tx:19.17 | made right. But sin, were it possible, would be irreversible. The | belief in sin is necessarily based on the firm conviction that |
Tx:19.17 | Sin calls for punishment as error for correction, and the | belief that punishment is correction is clearly insane. |
Tx:19.30 | In error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind. But sin is the | belief that your perception is unchangeable and that the mind must |
Tx:19.32 | will find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the | belief that bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the world in |
Tx:19.33 | of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and the | belief in sin has been uprooted in its smile of love. You see it |
Tx:19.34 | other overcome mistakes by joyously releasing one another from the | belief in sin. |
Tx:19.47 | of a wish, this tiny illusion, this microscopic remnant of the | belief in sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be the |
Tx:19.59 | peace must flow across, and closely related to the first, is the | belief that the body is valuable for what it offers. For here is the |
Tx:19.61 | What has the body really given you that justifies your strange | belief that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the |
Tx:19.61 | belief that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the | belief in death? Here is the focus of the perception of Atonement as |
Tx:19.66 | you that its power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, when the | belief in sin is gone? And where is death, when its great advocate is |
Tx:19.74 | The ego's messages are always sent away from you in the | belief that for your message of attack and guilt will someone other |
Tx:19.92 | This is the darkest veil, upheld by the | belief in death and protected by its attraction. The dedication to |
Tx:19.93 | See how the | belief in death would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what |
Tx:20.16 | The | belief in sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a change; a |
Tx:20.16 | And an adjustment is a change; a shift in perception or a | belief that what was so before has been made different. Every |
Tx:20.17 | Adjustments of any kind are of the ego. For it is the ego's fixed | belief that all relationships depend upon adjustments to make of |
Tx:20.22 | The world believes in sin, but the | belief that made it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to |
Tx:20.55 | The body is the ego's idol; the | belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This produces |
Tx:21.21 | for here is it invested. Think not that you are faithless, for your | belief and trust in this is strong indeed. |
Tx:21.32 | Faith and | belief and vision are the means by which the goal of holiness is |
Tx:21.32 | you wander, He reminds you there is but one. His faith and His | belief and vision are all for you. And when you have accepted them |
Tx:21.32 | you will have need of them no longer. For faith and vision and | belief are meaningful only before the state of certainty is |
Tx:21.33 | faith in his illusions about himself. For faith, perception, and | belief you made as means for losing certainty and finding sin. This |
Tx:21.35 | Faith and | belief become attached to vision, as all the means that once served |
Tx:21.35 | for sin are dear to you. And so the body has your faith and your | belief. But holiness would set your brother free, removing hatred by |
Tx:21.36 | Desiring to look upon their brothers in holiness, the power of | belief and faith goes far beyond the body, supporting vision, not |
Tx:21.38 | mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable | belief of those who value sin. And so is sacrifice invariably a means |
Tx:21.40 | in their seeing, they look past it, as do you. The faith and the | belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and belief |
Tx:21.40 | and the belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and | belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be given back to |
Tx:21.41 | It has no fear to let you feel ashamed. It doubts not your | belief and faith in sin. Its temples do not shake because of this. |
Tx:21.43 | who have joined their brothers have detached themselves from their | belief that their identity lies in the ego. A holy relationship is |
Tx:21.43 | one in which you join with what is part of you in truth. And your | belief in sin has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely |
Tx:21.49 | and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely your whole | belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this and |
Tx:21.56 | Faith and perception and | belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's needs as well |
Tx:21.56 | at all in madness, nor can it be adjusted to fit its end. Faith and | belief are strong in madness, guiding perception toward what the mind |
Tx:21.58 | You have come very close to this. Faith and | belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego |
Tx:21.58 | something that you do not know but must belong to you? Faith and | belief, upheld by reason, cannot fail to lead to changed perception. |
Tx:21.59 | yours to give. And so you will not give it, thus maintaining the | belief. For uncorrected error of any kind deceives you about the |
Tx:21.59 | deny it to yourself and to your brother. And if he shares this same | belief, you both will think that you are damned. This you could spare |
Tx:21.70 | Do you not see that all your misery comes from the strange | belief that you are powerless? Being helpless is the cost of sin. |
Tx:21.76 | rest have lost for you. And this imagined difference attests to your | belief that truth may be the enemy you yet may find. Here, then, |
Tx:22.4 | Think what a holy relationship can teach! Here is | belief in differences undone. Here is the faith in differences |
Tx:22.19 | truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the power of | belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in sin |
Tx:22.19 | It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in sin if the | belief excludes one living thing and holds it out apart from its |
Tx:22.20 | only means by which escape from guilt can be attained, then the | belief in sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, |
Tx:22.21 | in trying to avoid this one decision. It must be made. Faith and | belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you that misery lies |
Tx:22.24 | that what you made has power to enslave its maker. This is the same | belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless idea that |
Tx:22.30 | The ego's whole continuance depends on its | belief you cannot learn this course. Share this belief, and reason |
Tx:22.30 | depends on its belief you cannot learn this course. Share this | belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and make way for |
Tx:22.30 | been an error. The ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed | belief in sin and disregard of errors. It looks on nothing that can |
Tx:22.46 | from the truth? And what would you be saved from but what you fear? | Belief in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the |
Tx:22.50 | alone. This is the cost of all illusions. Not one but rests on the | belief that you are separate. Not one that does not seem to stand, |
Tx:22.60 | Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this | belief has done. You see yourself as vulnerable, frail, and easily |
Tx:22.62 | yourself or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. And this | belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value except in the desire to |
Tx:23.1 | who has an enemy, and no one can attack unless he thinks he has. | Belief in enemies is therefore the belief in weakness, and what is |
Tx:23.1 | attack unless he thinks he has. Belief in enemies is therefore the | belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the Will of God. Being |
Tx:23.7 | the warlike would remember is not love. War is impossible unless | belief in victory is cherished. Conflict within you must imply that |
Tx:23.7 | God. Certain it is it has no enemy. Yet just as certain is its fixed | belief it has an enemy that it must overcome and will succeed. |
Tx:23.8 | is possible. And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad | belief the Will of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may |
Tx:23.8 | of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with this | belief, but never will it be more than madness. And fear will reign |
Tx:23.12 | illusions, struggling to make them different from each other in the | belief the one which conquers will be true. There is no conflict |
Tx:23.16 | His most holy home and let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the | belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His Son with Him. You are |
Tx:23.20 | which sets him off from others. This principle evolves from the | belief there is a hierarchy of illusions; some are more valuable and |
Tx:23.22 | Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being the | belief the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction |
Tx:23.24 | He be asked about the truth of what has been established for His | belief. His Son can tell Him this, and He has but the choice whether |
Tx:23.24 | for it or be mistaken. This leads directly to the third preposterous | belief that seems to make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be |
Tx:23.24 | For if God cannot be mistaken, then He must accept his Son's | belief in what he is and hate him for it. |
Tx:23.27 | if the others are accepted, must be true. This seeming law is the | belief you have what you have taken. By this, another's loss |
Tx:23.32 | if he sees that this is what it is. What protects madness is the | belief that it is true. It is the function of insanity to take the |
Tx:23.34 | major roles, it seems most powerful. No law of chaos could compel | belief but for the emphasis on form and disregard of content. No |
Tx:23.38 | to value some above the others. Yet each one rests as surely on the | belief the laws of chaos are the laws of order as do the others. Each |
Tx:23.39 | From the | belief in sin, the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it |
Tx:23.43 | is denied where compromise has been accepted, for compromise is the | belief salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a |
Tx:23.44 | not see that, if it is, salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the | belief that salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm |
Tx:23.45 | could they know? Could they accept forgiveness side by side with the | belief that murder takes some forms by which their peace is saved? |
Tx:24.2 | be kept hidden and obscure but it will jeopardize your learning. No | belief is neutral. Every one has the power to dictate each decision |
Tx:24.2 | based on everything that you believe. It is the outcome of | belief and follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and |
Tx:24.3 | love's purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold back but one | belief, one offering, and love is gone because you asked a substitute |
Tx:24.4 | because conflicting outcomes are impossible. But an unrecognized | belief is a decision to war in secret, where the results of conflict |
Tx:24.5 | All that is ever cherished as a hidden | belief, to be defended though unrecognized, is faith in specialness. |
Tx:24.9 | let you think that you are better off apart. Is it not always your | belief your specialness is limited by your relationship? And is not |
Tx:24.10 | The fear of God and of each other comes from each unrecognized | belief in specialness. For each demands the other bow to it against |
Tx:24.52 | in all temptation to perceive what is not there and all | belief God's Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not. |
Tx:25.14 | task you set yourself. Can it make sense to hold the fixed | belief that there is reason to uphold pursuit of what has always |
Tx:25.24 | real at all. Only because His Son believes it is, and from His Son's | belief He could not let Himself be separate entirely. He could not |
Tx:25.26 | is another Maker of the world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad | belief that anything could be established and maintained without some |
Tx:25.29 | is made. For it is seeing them as one that brings release from the | belief there are two ways to see. This world has much to offer to |
Tx:25.30 | eyes. And therefore it need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed | belief perception cannot change. What has been damned is damned and |
Tx:25.42 | His Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of your own | belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness |
Tx:25.52 | is insanity. And what is madness cannot be the truth. If one | belief so deeply valued here were true, then every Thought God ever |
Tx:25.53 | the Father and the Son. This you believe. Think not that this | belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the world is sane |
Tx:25.60 | The whole | belief that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God must |
Tx:25.60 | lost. If this were true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this | belief except a form of the more basic tenet, “Sin is real and rules |
Tx:25.62 | Remember all temptation is but this—a mad | belief that God's insanity would make you sane and give you what you |
Tx:25.68 | their own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance that their own | belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit and |
Tx:26.6 | it and rejoice with him. Make not his holiness a sacrifice to your | belief in sin. You sacrifice your innocence with his and die each |
Tx:26.35 | Yet in each unforgiving act or thought, in every judgment, and in all | belief in sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could |
Tx:26.36 | delude himself that this is true and pass from mere imagining into | belief and into madness, quite convinced that where he would prefer |
Tx:26.42 | long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of time is but the mad | belief that what is over is still here and now. |
Tx:26.44 | perceived reality has entered all the world of sick illusions. All | belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and |
Tx:26.50 | God's answer lies where the | belief in sin must be, for only there can its effects be utterly |
Tx:26.52 | not error, for it goes beyond correction to impossibility. Yet the | belief that it is real has made some errors seem forever past the |
Tx:26.59 | Sin is | belief attack can be projected outside the mind where the belief |
Tx:26.59 | Sin is belief attack can be projected outside the mind where the | belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that ideas can leave |
Tx:26.72 | he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous now? | Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, |
Tx:26.87 | the other must be seen. You cannot be unfairly treated. The | belief you are is but another form of the idea you are deprived by |
Tx:27.4 | The power of witness is beyond | belief because it brings conviction in its wake. The witness is |
Tx:27.9 | These are not sins, but witnesses unto the strange | belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end |
Tx:27.16 | to him, you will believe. The power of witness comes from your | belief. And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what |
Tx:27.30 | What can interfere with the awareness of reality is the | belief that there is something there. |
Tx:27.45 | Only when demonstrated has it been proved and must compel | belief. No one is healed through double messages. If you wish only to |
Tx:28.30 | sickness is kept carefully protected, cherished, and upheld by firm | belief, lest God should come to bridge the little gap that leads to |
Tx:28.46 | you perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the | belief that there is joy in separation, and its giving up would be |
Tx:29.16 | to alter it. Yet this but means the mind remains unchanged in its | belief of what the purpose of the body is. |
Tx:29.54 | An idol is a false impression or a false | belief—some form of anti-Christ which constitutes a gap between the |
Tx:29.56 | the truth shine unencumbered, being what it is. It does not need | belief to be itself, for it has been created, so it is. An idol |
Tx:29.56 | for it has been created, so it is. An idol is established by | belief, and when it is withdrawn, the idol “dies.” |
Tx:30.24 | really want. Its purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane | belief you want it for the goal of being right when you are wrong. |
Tx:30.38 | its expression in the terms of form. Idols are limits. They are the | belief that there are forms which will bring happiness and that, by |
Tx:30.40 | of an idol—that you will not look beyond it to the source of the | belief that you are incomplete. Only if you had sinned could this |
Tx:30.58 | no one stands outside this hope because the world has been united in | belief the purpose of the world is one which all must share if hope |
Tx:30.75 | There is no surer proof idolatry is what you wish than a | belief there are some forms of sickness and of joylessness |
Tx:30.75 | not appearances at all. Be not deceived about the meaning of a fixed | belief that some appearances are harder to look past than others are. |
Tx:30.92 | awareness is unreal and does not interfere at all. The cost of the | belief there must be some appearances beyond the hope of change is |
Tx:31.62 | have you established what you are, as flesh or Spirit in your own | belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your |
W1:16.1 | The idea for today is a beginning step in dispelling the | belief that your thoughts have no effect. Everything you see is the |
W1:21.3 | are more “obvious.” This is not so. It is merely an example of the | belief that some forms of attack are more justified than others. |
W1:26.3 | that you always attack yourself. If attack thoughts must entail the | belief that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your |
W1:50.3 | yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from the | belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about |

W1:72.6 | real. It overlooks entirely what your brother is. It reinforces your | belief that he is a body and condemns him for it. And it asserts that |
W1:72.8 | This is the universal | belief of the world you see. Some hate the body and try to hurt and |
W1:73.1 | in the sense that they can make a world of illusions in which your | belief can be very strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of |
W1:73.9 | of strength. Today let your will be done. And end forever the insane | belief that it is hell in place of Heaven that you choose. |
W1:74.1 | have recognized this, you have recognized that your will is His. The | belief that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has replaced the |

W1:91.8 | to be undone. But what you really are must be revealed to you. The | belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. The |
W1:91.12 | strength. Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the | belief that you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no |
W1:91.12 | of weakness is associated with the belief that you are a body, a | belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. Try to remove your |
W1:97.12 | temptation, and escape its sorry consequences if you yield to the | belief that you are something else. The Holy Spirit gives you peace |
W1:99.5 | that its Source is timeless. Yet it operates in time because of your | belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what |
W1:100.1 | in it completes your Father's plan. Salvation must reverse the mad | belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate |
W1:100.8 | Think what this means. You have indeed been wrong in your | belief that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God's |
W1:101.5 | Accept Atonement with an open mind which cherishes no lingering | belief that you have made a devil of God's Son. |
W1:101.9 | to remove the heavy load you laid upon yourself with the insane | belief that sin is real. |
W1:102.1 | may still believe a little that it buys you what you want. Yet this | belief is surely shaken now, at least enough to let you question it |
W1:103.2 | This strange | belief would limit happiness by redefining love as limited and |
W1:103.5 | of practicing today with this association, which corrects the false | belief that God is fear. It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you |
W1:106.2 | you they have found the source of life and offer it to you for your | belief. Attend them not, but listen to the truth. |
W1:107.1 | not a trace by which to be remembered. They are gone because without | belief they have no life, and so they disappear to nothingness, |
W1:116.2 | Will is perfect happiness for me. And I can suffer but from the | belief there is another will apart from His. |
W1:127.8 | place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false | belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He |
W1:132.1 | but your beliefs? And what can save the world except your Self? | Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and |
W1:135.2 | the past, or organize the present as you wish. You operate from the | belief you must protect yourself from what is happening because it |
W1:135.2 | A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness, a | belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make |
W1:135.3 | The world is based on this insane | belief. And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its |
W1:135.7 | endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your own | belief? It is your mind which gave the body all the functions that |
W1:135.13 | A healed mind is relieved from the | belief that it must plan, although it cannot know the outcome which |
W1:139.6 | this prove except the world is mad? Why share its madness in the sad | belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the world |
W1:139.9 | teach and demonstrates the oneness of God's Son is unassailed by his | belief he knows not what he is. Today accept Atonement, not to change |
W1:140.1 | Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for illusion. One | belief in sickness takes another form, and so the patient now |
W1:151.6 | let the Voice for God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your own | belief. |
W1:154.12 | You have heard this said a hundred ways, a hundred times, and yet | belief is lacking still. But this is sure—until belief is given it, |
W1:154.12 | times, and yet belief is lacking still. But this is sure—until | belief is given it, you will receive a thousand miracles and then |
W1:167.4 | is the thought that you are separate from your Creator. It is the | belief conditions change, emotions alternate because of causes you |
W1:167.4 | control, you did not make, and you can never change. It is the fixed | belief ideas can leave their source and take on qualities the source |
W1:170.11 | Where does the totally insane | belief in gods of vengeance come from? Love has not confused its |
W1:186.8 | the function God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird | belief that we can make another for ourselves. Our self-made roles |
W1:189.7 | Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught nor one | belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, |
W1:196.1 | another is but to attack yourself. You will be free of the insane | belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. And you will |
W1:196.5 | Perhaps it seemed to be salvation. Yet it merely stood for the | belief the fear of God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could |
W1:197.1 | Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the | belief in outside force pitted against your own. You make attempts at |
W1:197.7 | And with the end of this | belief is fear forever over. Thank your Self for this, for He is |
W2:264.1 | for my own. In You time disappears and place becomes a meaningless | belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love |
W2:290.1 | to behold. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the | belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I |
W2:WIE.4 | its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost | belief in it entails. In suffering, the price for faith in it is so |
W2:FL.1 | we give our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the | belief in sin, which made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking |
M:8.1 | The | belief in order of difficulties is the basis for the world's |
M:8.5 | merely because all sickness is illusion. Is it harder to dispel the | belief of the insane in a larger hallucination as opposed to a |
M:14.1 | now it has no purpose and is gone. The father of illusions is the | belief that they have a purpose; that they serve a need or gratify a |
M:15.3 | judgment and to recognize that it is true. One instant of complete | belief in this, and you will go beyond belief to certainty. One |
M:15.3 | true. One instant of complete belief in this, and you will go beyond | belief to certainty. One instant out of time can bring time's end. |
M:16.11 | this is so and have learned that everything but this is magic. All | belief in magic is maintained by just one simple-minded illusion— |
M:17.1 | any form, God's teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own | belief in sin and has condemned himself. He can be sure as well that |
M:18.3 | screeches, “Guilt is real.” Reality is blotted out as this insane | belief is taken as replacement for God's Word. The body's eyes now |
M:20.4 | in whatever form, will drop the heavy curtain once again, and the | belief that peace cannot exist will certainly return. War is again |
M:24.3 | acceptance of the course merely because it advocates a long-held | belief of his own. |
M:24.4 | from its appointed purpose. If there are aspects to any concept or | belief that will be helpful, he will be told about it. He will also |
M:24.5 | in reincarnation, it would be a mistake for him to renounce the | belief unless his Internal Teacher so advised. And this is most |
M:24.5 | this is most unlikely. He might be advised that he is misusing the | belief in some way which is detrimental to his pupil's advance or his |
M:27.1 | consider it still more carefully. It is the one fixed, unchangeable | belief of the world that all things in it are born only to die. This |
M:27.4 | The curious | belief that there is part of dying things that may go on apart from |
M:27.5 | The “reality” of death is firmly rooted in the | belief that God's Son is a body. And if God created bodies, death |
M:29.4 | this image assumes it knows all things because you have given that | belief to it. Such is your teaching and the teaching of the world |

C:19.18 | more afraid to ask. All your asking or prayer awaits is but your | belief in the love without fear that has always responded. |
C:20.39 | All service is cooperative and depends on a | belief in mutuality. All fear that what is good for one may not be |
C:20.40 | gifts of God are given equally and distributed equally. It is your | belief that this is not so that causes judgment. All who believe they |
C:20.47 | They are small concerns and they are among the reasons for your | belief in your inability to effect change within your own life and |
C:23.9 | imagine communities of faith. Around the world, people are united in | belief, and not only in religious beliefs. Ideology, politics, |
C:23.9 | “associations” are formed to foster the idea of unity through shared | belief. They are not necessary, as is seen by the reality that they |

C:23.12 | taken an opposite approach, beginning with exercises to alter your | belief in your identity and concluding with exercises to alter your |
C:23.12 | belief in your identity and concluding with exercises to alter your | belief in form. This is consistent with our primary focus on learning |
C:23.13 | I repeat: | Belief of another kind can foster the creation of form of another |
C:23.13 | kind can foster the creation of form of another kind. A wholehearted | belief in the truth about your Self is what is required to cause this |
C:23.14 | Belief of another kind is what miracles are all about. It is what you | |
C:23.15 | Obviously, your | belief in who and what you are is the basis for your entire |
C:23.15 | entire foundation, a foundation previously built on fear. Clearly, | belief in the body was easily translated into a belief in the |
C:23.15 | on fear. Clearly, belief in the body was easily translated into a | belief in the validity of fear. When you are free of this |
C:23.15 | of fear. When you are free of this misperception, this inaccurate | belief, your body will be freed. It will no longer be an object of |
C:23.16 | Freeing your perception from your nearly immutable | belief in form will allow for all changes in form required by the |
C:23.16 | miracle. Form is not a constant but a result. While you believe that | belief is the result of form, it is not. Form is the result of |
C:23.16 | that belief is the result of form, it is not. Form is the result of | belief. Thus belief is not only capable of changing form but also is |

C:23.23 | held belief is no longer valid is the only way to truly purge that | belief. |
C:23.27 | to exert control over learning situations is a reflection of | belief that you have nothing to learn. An attitude of openness is |
C:25.12 | in concert with the universe. These attitudes confirm a continuing | belief in your separated and vulnerable state. During the time of |
C:25.13 | you hang on to wounds of any kind. All wounds are evidence of your | belief that you can be attacked and hurt. You have not necessarily |
C:28.3 | in a theory of mass that purports that when a certain magnitude of | belief occurs, evolutionary steps are brought about. This, however, |
C:28.3 | so a process intent upon bringing the collective to a fever pitch of | belief through common testimony is not our aim. |
C:28.12 | Again, as when you feel the need to convince others of your | belief, the need to give form to what is beyond form misses the point |
C:29.17 | as the nature of relationship is joy. Once you have given up your | belief in separation this will be known to you. |
C:29.18 | The choice to change your | belief is before you. Are you not ready to make it? |
C:30.7 | is built around the foundation of fear, a fear that stemmed from the | belief in finite life, in being born into a body and dying to the |
C:30.11 | and loss. This is why we have worked to leave thinking behind. This | belief in gain and loss is a cornerstone of your system of perception |
C:31.11 | them an identity we have called the ego. Without dislodging your | belief in your ego as yourself you will never realize your true |
T1:3.17 | unworthiness to perform miracles. Your unworthiness stems from your | belief that you are “only” human. You are not God. You are not a holy |
T1:4.17 | quite similarly and this would but lead to a continuation of the | belief in different forms of the truth. |
T1:7.2 | rather than abolishing suffering. This acceptance is due to the | belief that spirit has chosen a form, and more accurately put a |
T1:7.2 | to exist, and that that choice includes the choice to suffer. This | belief may accept suffering as a learning device rather than a |
T1:7.2 | still, in its acceptance of a false notion, invites suffering. This | belief accepts learning through contrast, that evil is seen in |
T1:7.2 | to good, peace in relation to chaos, love in relation to fear. This | belief exists in the in-between, where on the one hand there is |
T1:7.2 | absence of peace is conflict, the absence of truth illusion. This | belief does not accept that there is only one reality and that it |
T1:7.3 | away from all such beliefs to a knowing that precludes the need for | belief at all. |
T2:2.9 | than what they feel called to do. All of these ideas illustrate your | belief that something other than your own willingness is necessary. |
T2:6.8 | It is your | belief that change and growth are indicative of all that can be |
T2:7.5 | source of your unity. That you exist in relationship with all is a | belief that you must now incorporate into living. Further, you must |
T2:7.7 | This is the most difficult | belief of all to integrate into the living of your life. Each time |
T2:7.20 | with the recognition of your accomplishment, the acceptance of the | belief that giving and receiving are one in truth changes the |
T2:7.21 | While as stated previously, this | belief will at times seem difficult to put into practice, and while |
T2:7.21 | receiving and of needs being met may seem to still take time, this | belief builds on the belief of the already accomplished through |
T2:7.21 | being met may seem to still take time, this belief builds on the | belief of the already accomplished through experience. As you |
T2:7.21 | As you experience giving and receiving being one in truth, your | belief will become true conviction. Your ability to recognize giving |
T2:8.1 | this learning to come to completion, you must put into practice the | belief that no relationships are special. Your loyalty must be |
T2:9.4 | a way you believe in loss and gain rather than in the replacement | belief that there is no loss but only gain. |
T2:9.9 | This could be restated as the | belief that there is no loss but only gain. |

T2:11.1 | than who you are. Now our aim is to show you how to integrate the | belief that you are a being who exists in relationship into the |
T2:11.7 | is shared does the ego lose its power. The ego was made from the | belief in separation and all that followed from it. Thus your true |
T2:11.7 | followed from it. Thus your true identity must be recreated from the | belief in unity that is inherent in the acceptance that you are a |
T2:11.12 | available and did not overturn the laws of God. The ego is but your | belief that this has occurred; that what could never be true has |
T2:11.15 | from. This is how the notion of Christ as savior arose. This is the | belief in a good self and a bad self with Christ acting as conscience |
T2:11.16 | insanity exists. The alternative is removing all faith from your | belief in the ego-self. The alternative is replacing belief in an |
T2:11.16 | faith from your belief in the ego-self. The alternative is replacing | belief in an ego-self with belief in a Christ-Self. Total |
T2:11.16 | ego-self. The alternative is replacing belief in an ego-self with | belief in a Christ-Self. Total replacement. As long as you hang on to |

T2:12.5 | see yourself as a miracle worker. Your belief in miracles and your | belief in atonement or correction are the same thing. While you |
T2:12.6 | As with the learning goal being set here of going beyond | belief to simply knowing, the learning goal in relation to the |
T2:12.6 | in relation to the miracle is the same—it is one of going beyond | belief in the miracle to simply knowing. Knowing is knowing the |
T3:1.8 | to exist. This statement implies and acknowledges your previous | belief in a personal self who existed as more than a representation. |
T3:2.4 | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you are asked to accept a new | belief regarding the choice we have called the separation, a choice |
T3:2.5 | separated state was a step away from God and your real Self. This | belief was based in logic, but the logic of the illusion—in which |
T3:2.5 | and is the cause of all your suffering, for contained within this | belief was the belief that with each successful step toward |
T3:2.5 | of all your suffering, for contained within this belief was the | belief that with each successful step toward independence came a |
T3:2.11 | to which you long to return? The only alternative has seemed to be a | belief in a God that would banish you from paradise for your sins. We |
T3:3.6 | this means is that you have replaced judgment with forgiveness as a | belief. You have put this belief into practice in each instance where |
T3:3.6 | replaced judgment with forgiveness as a belief. You have put this | belief into practice in each instance where you have seen it to be |
T3:7.1 | the initial idea of the separation. Where is there a corresponding | belief system that formed around the idea of God? |
T3:7.2 | A | belief system is not needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the |

T3:7.3 | While there is no need for a belief system and no | belief system that can represent the truth, you have been told that |

T3:13.13 | for action, but one of the factors that distinguishes an idea from a | belief is a requirement of action. That action, while not necessarily |
T3:16.10 | is being said that you are lacking only in what you do not give. The | belief in lack is a temptation of the human experience. This will |
T3:21.13 | hold yourself to behaviors that fall within the parameters of your | belief system. You think of these things as part of what make up the |

C:23.27 | Neither can occur if you would truly choose to change your | beliefs and move on to the new or the truth. |
C:23.28 | both forgiveness and atonement occur. You recognize that your false | beliefs were the result of faulty learning. As unlearning is replaced |
C:23.29 | have led to the learning you have accumulated and translated into | beliefs. Only your own life experiences will reverse the process. |
C:25.11 | The holy relationship of unity depends on the release of the | beliefs that foster special relationships. |
C:25.19 | grace, and love. You will learn that other things you have done, | beliefs you have held, patterns and habits that have occupied you, |

T1:7.3 | We are moving you now away from all such | beliefs to a knowing that precludes the need for belief at all. |
T2:6.3 | This return to unity is reliant upon the changes in your | beliefs that this Course has brought about. Let us review these |
T2:6.3 | your beliefs that this Course has brought about. Let us review these | beliefs and how they relate to your concept of time. |
T2:6.7 | Course in Miracles began with asking you to call into question these | beliefs in known, observable, facts. You may have regarded these |
T2:11.8 | replaced by new learning. Learning thus must complement your new | beliefs, the ultimate goal of this learning being the end of the need |
T2:11.8 | the ultimate goal of this learning being the end of the need for | beliefs at all. |
T2:12.3 | power of miracles is but the culmination and the integration of the | beliefs we have put forth here. The miracle I am offering you here is |
T2:12.13 | Let the | beliefs we have set forth become one with you so that they enable you |
T2:13.4 | beginning of the time of unity taking place around you, practice the | beliefs that have been put forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the |
T3:2.4 | that has been built around this system. Now, along with the | beliefs put forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you are asked to accept a |
T3:2.5 | in a need to both glorify the self and denigrate the self. These | beliefs have shaped your dualistic view of the world and all that |

T3:3.7 | you know God for you know love. Beliefs, and especially the changed | beliefs we have worked together to integrate into your thought |
T3:3.7 | are only a first step, a step toward holy relationship. These new | beliefs of your new thought system must be wholehearted. They cannot |
T3:3.7 | of your new thought system must be wholehearted. They cannot be | beliefs that exist only in your mind, a new philosophy to be applied |
T3:3.9 | has brought you to where you now are, you might be able to put the | beliefs of this Course into practice. If not quite this drastic, your |
T3:3.9 | obligations, you would be much better suited to putting these | beliefs into practice. Or you might look at your behaviors, your |
T3:7.1 | As you have seen by now, we have moved from talking of | beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,” to speaking here of ideas. God's |
T3:7.1 | or idea, of absolute untruth. The ego's thought system then formed | beliefs that supported the initial idea of the separation. Where is |
T3:7.2 | belief system is not needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the | beliefs put forth in “A Treatise on Unity” are necessary only to |
T3:7.2 | are necessary only to return you to the truth. Since there are no | beliefs that represent the truth of who you are and who God is, we |
T3:7.3 | told that you can represent the truth here. You cannot do this with | beliefs but you can do this with ideas. Ideas leave not their source, |
T3:8.1 | Symbols are needed only in the house of illusion, just as are | beliefs. The most enlightened among you have beautifully symbolized |
T3:8.4 | in its own history and that of those who came before it. These | beliefs hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you feel towards God |
T3:8.5 | These are the | beliefs that would say that you, and all of those who came before |
T3:8.5 | rationale. Those who believe in past lives have also often adopted | beliefs regarding choice and believe that choices for suffering were |
T3:9.1 | without accepting their ability to be applied is to change your | beliefs without changing your ideas. This many have done. This you |
T3:9.7 | remained metaphorical because it did not pass beyond the arena of | beliefs into the arena of ideas. The Israelites believed in a |
T3:13.5 | are from the same source. That source has not been the body but your | beliefs about your body and yourself. You have believed pleasure to |
T3:13.7 | paying your way can be found. This old idea is consistent with all | beliefs of an “if this then that” nature. You might start practicing |
T3:13.13 | yourself. But it is not until you have your own ideas about those | beliefs that you own those beliefs in terms of making them your |

T3:16.6 | of the human experience. All of these temptations relate to the | beliefs set forth in “A Treatise on Unity.” |
T3:19.10 | of these temptations has been revealed to lie within the faulty | beliefs to which the body merely responded. The body's response to |

T3:19.12 | you that new beliefs and ideas will lead to a new reality, old | beliefs and ideas led to the old reality, a reality that will still |
T3:20.9 | act in ways inconsistent with compassion or even verbalize your new | beliefs, you are being told directly here that no circumstance should |
T3:20.10 | Your new thought system is not tied to | beliefs of an “if this, then that” nature. Look at the examples all |
T3:21.13 | So too is it with | beliefs. Many of you have a religious identity as well as a |
T3:21.13 | You may call yourself Christian or doctor or Democrat. You may have | beliefs you hold strongly, such as a stance against capital |
T3:21.13 | And you may, even while recognizing, as you surely do, that these | beliefs are subject to change, hold yourself to behaviors that fall |
T3:21.14 | an aspect we will call self-image, and an aspect that has to do with | beliefs. |
T3:21.15 | and sexual preferences, and so on. The aspect that has to do with | beliefs is linked to your thoughts and ideas about the world you live |
T3:21.17 | all the things we have enumerated above will act to challenge these | beliefs unless you are able to see them in a new light. No matter |
T4:1.2 | uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge your former ideas and | beliefs as have the previous Treatises. But it will do this only to |

Tx:6.46 | the Kingdom without love, and since the Kingdom is love, you | believe that you are without it. This enables the ego to regard |
Tx:6.48 | The ego cannot hear the Holy Spirit, but it does | believe that part of the same mind that made it is against it. It |
Tx:6.48 | It believes that the best defense is attack and wants you to | believe it. Unless you do believe it you will not side with it, |
Tx:6.48 | defense is attack and wants you to believe it. Unless you do | believe it you will not side with it, and the ego feels badly in need |
Tx:6.49 | is more real than it is. No one in his right mind could possibly | believe this, and no one in his right mind does believe it. |
Tx:6.49 | could possibly believe this, and no one in his right mind does | believe it. |
Tx:6.50 | you will see the truth around you and in you, and you will no longer | believe in dreams because they will have no reality for you. |
Tx:6.57 | taught wrongly, having believed what was not true. You did not | believe in your own perfection. Could God teach you that you had |
Tx:6.71 | his thought system, and every thought system centers on what you | believe you are. If the center of the thought system is true, only |
Tx:6.73 | in others, he is being taught to react to both as if what he does | believe is not true. |
Tx:6.77 | you are free to think you are. It must, however, be insane to | believe that it is up to you to decide what God's creations are. |
Tx:6.89 | as it is. Since it is whole, you are teaching peace because you | believe in it. The final step will still be taken for you by God, |
Tx:6.91 | does engender doubt. You cannot go beyond belief until you | believe fully. |
Tx:6.94 | will to teach the same thing must be in agreement about what they | believe. |
Tx:6.95 | The third step, then, is a statement of what you want to | believe and entails a willingness to relinquish everything else. I |
Tx:7.5 | to the Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you | believe you are determines your gifts, and if God created you by |
Tx:7.10 | by increasing and integrates by extending. What you project you | believe. This is an immutable law of the mind in this world as well |
Tx:7.12 | Those who are against freedom | believe that its outcome will hurt them, which cannot be true. |
Tx:7.14 | you are from what you have projected onto others and therefore | believe they are. In the Kingdom there is no teaching or |
Tx:7.29 | is merely to focus your full attention on it. As long as you | believe that you can attend to what is not true, you are accepting |
Tx:7.31 | means to make joyous. The dispirited are depressed, because they | believe that they are literally “without the Spirit,” which is an |
Tx:7.32 | what already is and perceived as a means for establishing it. To | believe this is possible is to believe you can do it. This can |
Tx:7.32 | as a means for establishing it. To believe this is possible is to | believe you can do it. This can only be the voice of the ego. |
Tx:7.35 | tries to use all abilities, since its goal is always to make you | believe that you are in opposition. |
Tx:7.40 | must be so, since you can act in accordance with what you do not | believe. To do this, however, will weaken you as teachers and |
Tx:7.40 | because, as has been repeatedly emphasized, you teach what you do | believe. An inconsistent lesson will be poorly taught and poorly |
Tx:7.42 | he can offer as a gift to someone who does not have it. He may | believe that the gift comes from God to Him, but it is quite |
Tx:7.55 | your thinking as you will is part of its power. If you do not | believe you can do this, you have denied the power of your thought |
Tx:7.59 | illusions, but it does follow that if it makes illusions it will | believe in them, because that is how it made them. |
Tx:7.61 | if you had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when you | believe something, you have made it true for you. |
Tx:7.62 | When you | believe what God does not know, your thought seems to contradict |
Tx:7.62 | are attacking Him. We have repeatedly emphasized that the ego does | believe it can attack God and tries to persuade you that you have |
Tx:7.63 | only as long as you do not recognize what is true.] While you | believe that two totally contradictory thought systems share truth, |
Tx:7.64 | They are problems of understanding, since they mean that you | believe what you can understand is up to you to decide. The ego |
Tx:7.65 | in the universe [of thought] as if it were weak, because you do not | believe you are part of it. |
Tx:7.77 | who attack do not know they are blessed. They attack because they | believe they are deprived. Give therefore of your abundance and |
Tx:7.78 | you feel deprived of it, and by projecting your own rejection, you | believe that others are taking it from you. One must be fearful |
Tx:7.79 | Being the part of your mind which does not | believe it is responsible for itself and being without allegiance |
Tx:7.86 | afraid that their projections will return and hurt them. They do | believe they have blotted their projections from their own minds, |
Tx:7.86 | have blotted their projections from their own minds, but they also | believe their projections are trying to creep back into them. That |
Tx:7.99 | of what is in your mind depend at any given moment on what you | believe about your mind. Whatever these beliefs may be, they are |
Tx:7.102 | the obvious to yourself. It is not obvious to you. You | believe that doing the opposite of God's Will can be better for |
Tx:7.102 | doing the opposite of God's Will can be better for you. You also | believe that it is possible to do the opposite of God's Will. |
Tx:7.102 | it is possible to do the opposite of God's Will. Therefore, you | believe that an impossible choice is open to you and one which is |
Tx:8.12 | them apart? Can you ask the part of your mind that taught you to | believe they are the same to teach you the difference between |
Tx:8.25 | When you are not at peace, it can only be because you do not | believe you are in Him. Yet He is all in all. His peace is |
Tx:8.35 | Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional | believe that truth will assail them, and so they do not see it, |
Tx:8.53 | belief that attack can get you something you want. If you did not | believe this, the idea of attack would have no appeal for you. When |
Tx:8.55 | harmful to you. If you use it only to reach the minds of those who | believe they are bodies and teach them through the body that this |
Tx:8.97 | No mind can | believe that its will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind |
Tx:8.104 | of reality is fearful, and fear cannot be created. As long as you | believe that fear is possible, you will not create. Opposing orders |
Tx:8.110 | is your faith in yourself. If you would know God and His Answer, | believe in me whose faith in you cannot be shaken. Can you ask of the |
Tx:8.110 | shaken. Can you ask of the Holy Spirit truly and doubt your brother? | Believe his words are true because of the truth which is in him. |
Tx:8.112 | extend it. You will not trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit or | believe that it is for you unless you hear it in others. It must be |
Tx:8.114 | Believe in your brothers because I believe in you, and you will | |
Tx:8.114 | Believe in your brothers because I | believe in you, and you will learn that my belief in you is |
Tx:8.114 | in you, and you will learn that my belief in you is justified. | Believe in me by believing in them for the sake of what God gave |
Tx:8.115 | To disbelieve is to side against or to attack. To | believe is to accept and to side with. To believe is not to be |
Tx:8.115 | or to attack. To believe is to accept and to side with. To | believe is not to be credulous but to accept and appreciate. What |
Tx:8.115 | not to be credulous but to accept and appreciate. What you do not | believe, you do not appreciate, and you cannot be grateful for what |
Tx:8.117 | value on what you receive and have priced it by what you give. To | believe that it is possible to get much for little is to believe that |
Tx:8.117 | give. To believe that it is possible to get much for little is to | believe that you can bargain with God. God's laws are always fair |
Tx:9.7 | love. Any attempt you make to correct a brother means that you | believe correction by you is possible, and this can only be the |
Tx:9.9 | error, and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will | believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your |
Tx:9.14 | belief in its realness enter your minds at all, or you will also | believe that you must undo what you have made in order to be |
Tx:9.19 | fearful, pretty or ugly, but no one calls them true. Children may | believe them, and so for a while the tales are true for them. Yet |
Tx:9.57 | To accept your littleness is arrogant, because it means that you | believe your evaluation of yourself is truer than God's. |
Tx:9.59 | as a means to regain eternity. You cannot do this as long as you | believe that anything which happens to you is caused by factors |
Tx:9.61 | from beyond it because, being in God, you encompass everything. | Believe this, and you will realize how much is up to you. When |
Tx:9.73 | not make such an insane decision. You make it only because you still | believe that it can get you something you want. It follows, then, |
Tx:9.76 | is the awareness that no one is separate, and so no one is sick. To | believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of |
Tx:9.76 | so no one is sick. To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to | believe that part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, because it |
Tx:9.77 | remind him of his wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To | believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God |
Tx:9.81 | make, but you are. You would save them and serve them, because you | believe that they made you. You think they are your father because |
Tx:9.85 | If God created you perfect, you are perfect. If you | believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods before Him. God |
Tx:9.93 | No one can really do this, but that you can think you can and | believe you have is beyond dispute. |
Tx:9.94 | that to deny God will inevitably result in projection, and you will | believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you. You |
Tx:9.94 | the message you give, because it is the message you want. You may | believe that you judge your brothers by the messages they give you, |
Tx:9.105 | Fatherhood must be acknowledged if the real Son is to be known. You | believe that the sick things which you have made are your real |
Tx:9.105 | sick things which you have made are your real creations, because you | believe that the sick images you perceive are the Sons of God. |
Tx:10.6 | Father are one with you, for you are part of us. Do you really | believe that part of God can be missing or lost to Him? |
Tx:10.8 | simply because you have tried to limit what He created, and so you | believe that all creation is limited. How, then, could you know |
Tx:10.8 | not permit contradiction. What holds for God holds for you. If you | believe you are absent from God, you will believe that He is |
Tx:10.8 | for you. If you believe you are absent from God, you will | believe that He is absent from you. |
Tx:10.14 | have been extended. You are afraid to know God's Will because you | believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and |
Tx:10.36 | Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will | believe that the door is barred and you cannot enter. The door is |
Tx:10.41 | the power to do anything. The ego is fearful to you because you | believe this. Yet the truth is very simple: |
Tx:10.45 | of you. He has included you in His Autonomy. Can you | believe that autonomy is meaningful apart from Him? The belief in |
Tx:10.52 | Upheld by fear, this is what the ego would have you | believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot believe it. Let him |
Tx:10.52 | ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot | believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he will not accept it. |
Tx:10.52 | would choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could | believe that love can be gained by attack. But the sane know that |
Tx:10.59 | It is impossible not to | believe what you see, but it is equally impossible to see what you do |
Tx:10.59 | what you see, but it is equally impossible to see what you do not | believe. Perceptions are built up on the basis of experience, and |
Tx:10.59 | are fixed that perceptions stabilize. In effect, then, what you | believe, you do see. That is what I meant when I said, “Blessed are |
Tx:10.59 | I meant when I said, “Blessed are ye who have not seen and still | believe,” for those who believe in the resurrection will see it. |
Tx:10.59 | “Blessed are ye who have not seen and still believe,” for those who | believe in the resurrection will see it. The resurrection is the |
Tx:10.62 | And can you perceive it in yourself and not perceive it in God? | Believe in the resurrection because it has been accomplished, and |
Tx:10.66 | the Son of God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as you | believe that you can crucify him, you are only having nightmares. |
Tx:10.67 | that I have done them unto you. Do not set limits on what you | believe I can do through you, or you will not accept what I can do |
Tx:10.68 | For your part must be like mine if you learn it of me. If you | believe that yours is limited, you are limiting mine. There is |
Tx:10.71 | illusion and reality. For perceptions cannot be partly true. If you | believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is true. To |
Tx:10.73 | To | believe that you can perceive the real world is to believe that you |
Tx:10.73 | To believe that you can perceive the real world is to | believe that you can know yourself. You can know God because it is |
Tx:10.74 | more than that only reality is true is necessary. But do you | believe it? When you have perceived the real world, you will |
Tx:10.74 | have perceived the real world, you will recognize that you did not | believe it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real |
Tx:10.80 | The Holy Spirit will answer every specific problem as long as you | believe that problems are specific. His answer is both many and |
Tx:10.80 | are specific. His answer is both many and one, as long as you | believe that the one is many. Realize that you are afraid of His |
Tx:10.81 | You are refusing to ask because you | believe that asking is taking, and you do not perceive it as |
Tx:10.82 | Little Children of God, you do not understand your Father. You | believe in a world that takes, because you believe that you can get |
Tx:10.82 | your Father. You believe in a world that takes, because you | believe that you can get by taking. And by that perception, you |
Tx:10.83 | Child of God, you are asking only for what I promised you. Do you | believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. |
Tx:10.83 | believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. | Believe that the truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. |
Tx:11.1 | error real, and the way to do this is very simple. If you want to | believe in error, you would have to make it real because it is not |
Tx:11.1 | because it is not true. But truth is real in its own right, and to | believe in truth, you do not have to do anything. Understand that |
Tx:11.17 | recognizes that he does not know what his perceptions mean. Yet you | believe that you do know. Little children, you are hiding your |
Tx:11.28 | only answer. Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to | believe even for an instant that there is another answer. For you |
Tx:11.34 | in the mind of its maker along with his real salvation. Do not | believe it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing where it |
Tx:11.40 | search for your home whether you know where it is or not. If you | believe it is outside yourself, the search will be futile, for you |
Tx:11.41 | treasure, you will sell everything else to purchase it. And you will | believe that you have purchased it because you have sold |
Tx:11.43 | the situation you have made. You use attack to do so because you | believe that attack was successful in weakening you. |
Tx:11.65 | As long as you | believe you have two functions, so long will you need correction. For |
Tx:11.65 | you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you will | believe in what you manifest, and as you look out, so will you see |
Tx:11.66 | and if it is split and wants to keep the split, it will | believe it has one goal by making it one. |
Tx:11.68 | within. This gives it an illusion of integrity and enables it to | believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you perceive the |
Tx:11.69 | accepted opposition there, having sought it there. But do not then | believe that the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest |
Tx:11.75 | to Whom treachery is impossible, but it is a traitor to you who | believe you have been treacherous to your Father. That is why the |
Tx:11.75 | from the ego because, by confusing yourself with the ego, you | believe that you want death. And from what you want, God does not |
Tx:11.77 | Do you really | believe that you can kill the Son of God? The Father has hidden His |
Tx:11.87 | was lost, since only those who do not understand Him could | believe it. |
Tx:11.91 | spread along the past behind you and will disappear. As long as you | believe the Son of God is guilty, you will walk along this carpet, |
Tx:11.98 | that attack is salvation. And you who cherish guilt must also | believe it, for how else but by identifying with the ego could you |
Tx:12.5 | In the calm light of truth, let us recognize that you | believe you have crucified God's Son. You have not admitted to this |
Tx:12.5 | ego does want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must | believe its goal is yours. |
Tx:12.7 | its results and you still lack faith in it. You must, then, | believe that by not learning the course, you are protecting |
Tx:12.8 | alternative with gladness. You are afraid of redemption, and you | believe it will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your |
Tx:12.8 | will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you | believe that in the presence of truth you will turn on yourself and |
Tx:12.11 | upon the ego's darkest cornerstone without fear if you did not | believe that, without the ego, you would find within yourself |
Tx:12.12 | to look even upon your savage wish to kill God's Son if you did not | believe that it saves you from love. For this wish caused the |
Tx:12.12 | Father would impel you to answer His call and leap into Heaven. You | believe that attack is salvation to prevent you from this. For |
Tx:12.14 | it would sweep you away from yourself and make you little. For you | believe that magnitude lies in defiance and that attack is grandeur. |
Tx:12.21 | live in the light, and it must seek a place of darkness where it can | believe it is where it is not. God did not allow this to happen. Yet |
Tx:12.24 | reality to establish yours. If their reality is questioned, you | believe that yours is. For you believe that attack is your |
Tx:12.24 | their reality is questioned, you believe that yours is. For you | believe that attack is your reality and that your destruction is |
Tx:12.48 | and make them so for you. But do not be deceived and then | believe that this is how it is, for to believe that reality is what |
Tx:12.48 | do not be deceived and then believe that this is how it is, for to | believe that reality is what you would have it be according to your |
Tx:13.11 | its laws, for they are laws of punishment. And those who follow them | believe that they are guilty, and so they must condemn. Between the |
Tx:13.14 | and guilt has become as true for you as innocence. You do not | believe the Son of God is guiltless because you see the past and see |
Tx:13.18 | afraid to look upon the light within. Within you is not what you | believe is there and what you put your faith in. |
Tx:13.22 | who suffer guilt will attempt to displace it, because they do | believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they will not look within and |
Tx:13.25 | As long as you | believe that guilt is justified in any way in anyone whatever he |
Tx:13.25 | find Atonement. The end of guilt will never come as long as you | believe there is a reason for it. For you must learn that guilt is |
Tx:13.42 | within you, joining your minds with His, cannot be broken. You may | believe you want it broken, and this belief does interfere with |
Tx:13.52 | And while you think it possible to learn to do this, you will not | believe all that is possible to learn to do. |
Tx:13.54 | happy. The Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you | believe that misery is happiness. This has so confused you that you |
Tx:13.55 | already burdened or you would not have sought another. You will | believe that nothing is of value and will value it. A little |
Tx:13.62 | was? This simple lesson holds the key to the dark door which you | believe is locked forever. You made this door of nothing and behind |
Tx:13.65 | of guilt and do not look upon it as having value in itself. You | believe that guilt and guiltlessness are both of value, each |
Tx:13.73 | of. Those who accept the Atonement are invulnerable. But those who | believe they are guilty will respond to guilt because they think it |
Tx:13.74 | All this arises because they do not | believe that what they want is good. Yet will was given them |
Tx:13.86 | of your brother's guiltlessness shining within him while you still | believe it is not there. His guiltlessness is your Atonement. |
Tx:14.13 | Remember for everyone your Father's power that He has given him. | Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect peace. Stand not |
Tx:14.25 | cannot know this, for by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to | believe the more you look at fear, the less you see it, and the |
Tx:14.52 | for you are much too confused either to recognize love or to | believe that everything else is nothing but a need for love. You are |
Tx:14.53 | the content must be. Otherwise, it will attack the form. You who | believe you understand something of the dynamics of the mind, let me |
Tx:14.62 | each one for the bright lesson He has learned for you. Never | believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him means |
Tx:15.7 | advertise its final threat, for it would have its worshipers still | believe that it can offer the escape from it. But the belief in |
Tx:15.7 | the future. For no one who considers himself as deserving hell can | believe that punishment will end in peace. |
Tx:15.24 | you are and represents the value that you put upon yourself. | Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you |
Tx:15.35 | This course is not beyond immediate learning unless you prefer to | believe that what God wills takes time. And this means only that you |
Tx:15.41 | perfect communication that makes the holy instant what it is. You | believe that it is possible to harbor thoughts you would not share |
Tx:15.45 | not know what anything means. You are afraid of this because you | believe that without the ego all would be chaos. Yet I assure you |
Tx:15.46 | is the source of guilt, and to appeal to it for salvation is to | believe you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to |
Tx:15.47 | to God, Who knows no special love, how can you understand it? To | believe that special relationships, with special love, can offer |
Tx:15.58 | in gratifying your needs as you perceive them, you must | believe that strength comes from another, and what you gain he |
Tx:15.59 | You do not find it difficult to | believe that, when another calls on God for love, your call remains |
Tx:15.72 | What releases him from guilt is “bad,” because he would no longer | believe that bodies communicate, and so he would be “gone.” |
Tx:15.73 | seek relief from guilt by increasing it in the other. For they | believe that this decreases it in them. The other seems always to |
Tx:15.75 | teach through fear. And how can He communicate with you while you | believe that to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is |
Tx:15.75 | to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is clearly insane to | believe that by communicating you will be abandoned. And yet you do |
Tx:15.75 | that by communicating you will be abandoned. And yet you do | believe it. For you think that your minds must be kept private or you |
Tx:15.76 | of the ego's plan to establish its own autonomy. As long as you | believe that to be with a body is companionship, you will be |
Tx:15.77 | It is the Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct those who | believe that communication is damnation that communication is |
Tx:15.83 | communication, for He does not share it with you. It is only you who | believe that it is understandable. |
Tx:15.95 | you do not want, they go together. The idea is simply this—you | believe that it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God. |
Tx:15.95 | This is the choice you think you have, and the decision which you | believe that you must make. |
Tx:15.97 | As host to the ego, you | believe that you can give all your guilt away whatever you think |
Tx:15.98 | then, has God become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you | believe His love demands! For total love would demand total |
Tx:15.104 | You who | believe that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is |
Tx:16.13 | clearly been accomplished through your willingness, as long as you | believe that you must understand it or else it is not real. |
Tx:16.14 | of understanding is a loss to you, and so you are unwilling to | believe that what has happened is true. But can you really believe |
Tx:16.14 | to believe that what has happened is true. But can you really | believe that all that has happened, even though you do not |
Tx:16.22 | you not have faith in what you have so diligently taught yourself to | believe? Yet remember how much care you have exerted in choosing its |
Tx:16.23 | of you. You could never have taught freedom unless you did | believe in it. And it must be that what you taught came from |
Tx:16.44 | considers it bizarre to love and hate together, and even those who | believe that hate is sin merely feel guilty and do not correct it. |
Tx:16.46 | He denied. It is essential to the preservation of the ego that you | believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For the ego would |
Tx:17.3 | is that there are some things you would withhold from truth. You | believe that truth cannot deal with them only because you would |
Tx:17.8 | world and this is so little and so easy to cross that you could not | believe it is the meeting place of worlds so different. Yet this |
Tx:17.35 | gift is given you for your damnation, and if you take it, you will | believe that you are damned. You cannot have the frame without |
Tx:17.48 | was there to accept the relationship, why would you now not still | believe that He is there to purify what He has taken under His |
Tx:17.51 | hand to walk together along a road far more familiar than you now | believe. Is it not certain that you will remember a goal unchanged |
Tx:17.64 | witnesses to your lack of faith. They demonstrate that you did not | believe that the situation and the problem were in the same place. |
Tx:17.79 | and you had faith in it, for no one accepts what he does not | believe is real. Your purpose has not changed and will not change, |
Tx:18.4 | You who | believe that God is fear made but one substitution. It has taken many |
Tx:18.27 | hold mine, for when you joined each other you were not alone. Do you | believe that I would leave you in the darkness you agreed to leave |
Tx:18.34 | God did not create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And if you | believe He cannot enter where He wills to be, you must be |
Tx:18.35 | is impossible to make arrogant preparations for holiness and not | believe that it is up to you to establish the conditions for peace. |
Tx:18.40 | everything that is natural and easy for you impossible. What you | believe to be impossible will be if God so wills it, but you will |
Tx:18.40 | if God so wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you | believe the holy instant is difficult for you, it is because you have |
Tx:18.45 | dream through which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who | believe that love is fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the |
Tx:18.46 | to experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never | believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet just as this is |
Tx:18.68 | do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. | Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is |
Tx:18.89 | remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as long as you | believe that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion |
Tx:19.30 | to look on time differently and see beyond it, but not while you | believe in sin. In error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind. |
Tx:19.31 | When you are tempted to | believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and |
Tx:19.31 | to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it not easier to | believe that you have been mistaken than to believe in this? |
Tx:19.31 | Is it not easier to believe that you have been mistaken than to | believe in this? |
Tx:19.32 | While you | believe that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you |
Tx:19.32 | that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you will | believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you will |
Tx:19.32 | brother's is bounded by a body, you will believe in sin. While you | believe that bodies can unite, you will find guilt attractive and |
Tx:19.32 | believe that bodies can unite, you will find guilt attractive and | believe that sin is precious. For the belief that bodies limit mind |
Tx:19.57 | not real. The body does appear to be the symbol of sin while you | believe that it can get you what you want. While you believe that it |
Tx:19.57 | sin while you believe that it can get you what you want. While you | believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also believe that it |
Tx:19.57 | want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also | believe that it can bring you pain. |
Tx:19.60 | the value that you think peace would rob you of. This is what you | believe that it would dispossess and leave you homeless. And it is |
Tx:19.75 | Hear not its madness, and | believe not the impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has |
Tx:19.75 | in solemn celebration of the ego's rule. Not one but must | believe that yielding to the attraction of guilt is the escape from |
Tx:19.81 | and lamented by every mourner who looks upon it as himself. You who | believe you have condemned the Son of God to this are arrogant. But |
Tx:19.96 | of your will. Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore | believe that you are at the mercy of things beyond you, forces you |
Tx:20.20 | you in the world. And to this world must you adjust, as long as you | believe this picture is outside and has you at its mercy. This world |
Tx:20.74 | recognized for what they are. This is the healing and the remedy. | Believe them not, and they are gone. And all you need to do is |
Tx:21.6 | do not understand the lessons keep them blind. This they do not | believe. And so they keep the world they learned to “see” in their |
Tx:21.33 | to illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of God | believe that he is powerless. Thus is he faithless to himself, but |
Tx:21.37 | Those who | believe in sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for |
Tx:21.42 | your eyes will light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you | believe, and so you do not look. Yet this is not the ego's hidden |
Tx:21.50 | worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. You will | believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own |
Tx:21.50 | made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But never | believe because it is your faith it makes reality. |
Tx:21.59 | help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you will not | believe that it is yours to give. And so you will not give it, thus |
Tx:21.62 | insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their will. For they | believe they see the body and let their madness tell them it is real. |
Tx:21.70 | that it demands to be believed. Only the helpless could | believe in it. Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only |
Tx:21.70 | Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only those who first | believe that they are little could see attraction there. Treachery |
Tx:21.71 | of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as helpless must | believe that they are not the Son of God. What can they be except |
Tx:21.74 | faith in sin without an enemy. Who that believes in sin would dare | believe he has no enemy? Could he admit that no one made him |
Tx:22.5 | a different will. Yet if you are his will, what you must then | believe is that you are not yourself. You can indeed believe this, |
Tx:22.5 | you must then believe is that you are not yourself. You can indeed | believe this, and you do. And you have faith in this and see much |
Tx:22.8 | What could be secret from God's Will? Yet you | believe that you have secrets. What could your secrets be except |
Tx:22.19 | other in every way, in every instance, and without exception. To | believe that one exception can exist is to confuse what is the same |
Tx:22.25 | your Creator and with a will opposed to His. For only if you would | believe His Son could be His enemy does it seem possible that what |
Tx:22.32 | its church is built and where its worshipers are bound to bodies and | believe the body's freedom is their own. |
Tx:22.36 | would attack except what you associate with his body, which you | believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness and your |
Tx:22.51 | will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will | believe it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other serve |
Tx:22.62 | know His power is yours. But you will not remember this while you | believe attack of any kind means anything. It is unjustified in any |
Tx:23.2 | How strange indeed becomes this war against yourself! You will | believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and become your |
Tx:23.7 | in victory is cherished. Conflict within you must imply that you | believe the ego has the power to be victorious. Why else would you |
Tx:23.9 | beliefs converge upon the body, the ego's chosen home, which you | believe is yours. You meet at a mistake—an error in your |
Tx:23.11 | in the body's life, and if you think you are a body, you will | believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be forgotten by |
Tx:23.24 | the Creator of reality must be; what He must think and what He must | believe; and how He must respond, believing it. It is not seen as |
Tx:23.31 | He must have this substitute for love and kill you both. You who | believe you walk in sanity, with feet on solid ground and through a |
Tx:23.36 | You would maintain and think it true that you do not | believe these senseless laws nor act upon them. And when you look at |
Tx:23.36 | at what they say, they cannot be believed. Brothers, you do | believe them. For how else could you perceive the form they take with |
Tx:23.36 | content such as this? Can any form of this be tenable? Yet you | believe them for the form they take and do not recognize the |
Tx:23.44 | it makes no compromise. Yet it seems difficult to those who still | believe that compromise is possible. They do not see that, if it is, |
Tx:23.45 | Those who | believe that peace can be defended and that attack is justified on |
Tx:23.49 | to create unto His Son because it is His own. It is not sinful to | believe the function of the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What |
Tx:24.1 | wills to be? Peace will be yours because it is His Will. Can you | believe a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the universe |
Tx:24.2 | make. For a decision is a conclusion based on everything that you | believe. It is the outcome of belief and follows it as surely as |
Tx:24.43 | still with joy. Yet is it joy to look upon decay and madness and | believe this crumbling thing, with flesh already loosened from the |
Tx:24.61 | You who | believe it easier to see your brother's body than his holiness, be |
Tx:25.2 | to recognize Him everywhere. Except in bodies. And as long as they | believe they are in bodies, where they think they are He cannot be. |
Tx:25.5 | you are manifest in what you see. Behold the body, and you will | believe that you are there. And every body that you look upon reminds |
Tx:25.21 | may see His Son as one and thank his Father as He thanks you. Nor | believe that all His praise is given not to you. For what you give is |
Tx:25.23 | is in strict accord with vision's fundamental law: you see what you | believe is there, and you believe it there because you want it |
Tx:25.23 | vision's fundamental law: you see what you believe is there, and you | believe it there because you want it there. Perception has no other |
Tx:25.37 | upon the other for whatever sense it seems to have. And no one could | believe in one unless the other were the truth, for each attests the |
Tx:25.38 | have hurt yourself and made your Self your “enemy.” And now you must | believe you are not you but something alien to yourself and |
Tx:25.42 | will you understand His love for you; through your attack | believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look once again |
Tx:25.51 | would not be difficult for you. For it is this that you do not | believe. Yet there is nothing else you could believe if you but |
Tx:25.51 | this that you do not believe. Yet there is nothing else you could | believe if you but looked at what it really is. |
Tx:25.53 | with the mind Whose Thought created him. And if he chooses to | believe one thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his |
Tx:25.55 | Test everything that you | believe against this one requirement. And understand that |
Tx:25.55 | Love is the basis for a world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who | believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within |
Tx:25.56 | and where you can be free of place and time and all that you | believe must limit you. The Son of God cannot be bound by time nor |
Tx:25.60 | and destruction be the total cost of any gain at all. You who | believe that God is mad, look carefully at this and understand that |
Tx:25.63 | take it from you without your willingness. For if He did, you would | believe He wrested it from you against your will. And so you would |
Tx:25.64 | asked of you. What but a little faith remains to those who still | believe in sin? What could they know of Heaven and the justice of the |
Tx:25.67 | perceive it is not true? It is extremely hard for those who still | believe sin meaningful to understand the Holy Spirit's justice. |
Tx:25.68 | They must | believe He shares their own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance |
Tx:25.68 | torn from the “fires” of Heaven by God's own angry hand. They do | believe that Heaven is hell and are afraid of love. And deep |
Tx:25.71 | who think that all of this is true? Could He, in justice and in love | believe in your confusion you have much to give? You are not asked to |
Tx:25.86 | that you perceive and leave you fair to no one. Not one right do you | believe you have. And bitterness, with vengeance justified and mercy |
Tx:26.14 | You who | believe it safe to give but some mistakes to be corrected while you |
Tx:26.15 | then can there be no problems that justice cannot solve. But you | believe that some injustices are fair and good and necessary to |
Tx:26.31 | meaningless to the real Teacher of the world. Yet since you do | believe in [its reality], why should you waste it going nowhere when |
Tx:26.33 | To you who still | believe you live in time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit |
Tx:26.44 | Anything in this world that you | believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you and |
Tx:26.44 | prefers and find the safety that the truth alone can give? Who can | believe illusions are the same and still maintain that even one is |
Tx:26.60 | can wish to be deceived but cannot make it be what it is not. And to | believe ideas can leave their source is to invite illusions to be |
Tx:26.62 | to them all as one. And what is one to Him must be the same. If you | believe what is the same is different, you but deceive yourself. What |
Tx:26.69 | from one another, and this space you see as time because you still | believe you are external to each other. This makes trust impossible. |
Tx:26.69 | external to each other. This makes trust impossible. And you cannot | believe that trust would settle every problem now. Thus do you |
Tx:26.88 | for your own attack upon the Son of God you seek? Is it not safer to | believe that you are innocent of this and victimized despite your |
Tx:27.8 | could there be that will endure? Are not the frail entitled to | believe that every stolen scrap of pleasure is their righteous |
Tx:27.16 | separation is without effect. What you would prove to him, you will | believe. The power of witness comes from your belief. And |
Tx:27.57 | He knows it is not real. For nothing could contain what you | believe it holds within. Nor could it tell a part of God Himself what |
Tx:27.84 | The world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you will | believe that others do to you exactly what you think you did to |
Tx:28.4 | events, but only of a present state. You are so long accustomed to | believe that memory holds only what is past that it is hard for you |
Tx:28.18 | to be his Father's Son. For this impossible desire, he does not | believe that he is Love's effect and must be cause because of what he |
Tx:28.41 | Call not to him to meet you in the gap between you, or you must | believe that it is your reality as well as his. You cannot do his |
Tx:28.49 | Remember if you share an evil dream, you will | believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you will not |
Tx:28.53 | You who | believe there is a little gap between you, do not understand that |
Tx:29.1 | to attack; and His eternal patience sometimes fail. All this do you | believe, when you perceive a gap between your brother and yourself. |
Tx:29.4 | you time in which to build again your separate selves, which you | believe diminish as you meet. |
Tx:29.14 | can see the gifts He brought. And when you look on them, you will | believe His Presence must be there. For what you now can do could not |
Tx:29.25 | Do you | believe that truth can be but some illusions? They are dreams |
Tx:29.35 | to find its peace? Your brother thinks he holds the hand of death. | Believe him not. But learn instead how blessed are you who can |
Tx:29.46 | as major beneficiary, you try to bring about your death. For you | believe that you can suffer lack, and lack is death. To sacrifice |
Tx:29.53 | you. Idols are but substitutes for your reality. In some way, you | believe they will complete your little self [and let you walk in] |
Tx:29.61 | the dream you made, and ask yourself if it be not the truth that you | believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment came into the |
Tx:29.64 | dreaming it. For idols must be part of it to save you from what you | believe you have accomplished and have done to make you sinful and |
Tx:29.65 | grow large and dangerous and fierce and wild? This does the child | believe because he fears his thoughts and gives them to the toys |
Tx:29.69 | a calm assurance Heaven goes with you—be sure you made an idol and | believe it will betray you. For beneath your hope that it will save |
Tx:30.14 | what your version of the question asks will gain momentum until you | believe the day you want is one in which you get your answer to |
Tx:30.21 | you have decided is not so. Until this point is reached, you will | believe your happiness depends on being right. But this much reason |
Tx:30.40 | thing to add to you to make yourself complete can only mean that you | believe some form is missing. And by finding this, you will achieve |
Tx:30.52 | It is His laws which guarantee your safety. All illusions that you | believe about yourself obey no laws. They seem to dance a little |
Tx:30.54 | you decide one very simple thing—you do not want whatever you | believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is |
Tx:30.88 | see means nothing. It will shift in what it stands for, and you will | believe the world is an uncertain place in which you walk in danger |
Tx:31.2 | This cannot be confusing, yet you are confused. For somehow you | believe that what is totally confused is easier to learn and |
Tx:31.11 | another outcome seen to be preferred. You are deceived if you | believe you want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call |
Tx:31.26 | form his sins appear to take, it but obscures the fact that you | believe them to be yours and therefore meriting a “just” attack. |
Tx:31.27 | Why should his sins be sins if you did not | believe they could not be forgiven in you? Why are they real in him |
Tx:31.27 | not be forgiven in you? Why are they real in him if you did not | believe that they are your reality? And why do you attack them |
Tx:31.27 | deserve. And what can you deserve but what you are? If you did not | believe that you deserved attack, it never would occur to you to |
Tx:31.31 | Let us be glad that you will see what you | believe, and that it has been given you to change what you believe. |
Tx:31.31 | you believe, and that it has been given you to change what you | believe. The body will but follow. It can never lead you where you |
Tx:31.36 | is the answer to the search that all must undertake who still | believe there is another answer to be found. Learn now, without |
Tx:31.50 | For otherwise you would be asked to make exchange of what you now | believe for total loss of self, and greater terror would arise in you. |
Tx:31.65 | Heaven as on earth, this is forever true. It matters not where you | believe you are nor what you think the truth about yourself must |
Tx:31.66 | You who | believe that you can choose to see the Son of God as you would have |
Tx:31.92 | choice you make establishes your own identity as you will see it and | believe it is. |
W1:I.5 | Some of the ideas you will find hard to | believe, and others will seem quite startling. It does not matter. |
W1:I.5 | them to what you see. You are not asked to judge them nor even to | believe them. You are asked only to use them. It is their use which |
W1:I.5 | to you and show you they are true. Remember only this—you need not | believe them, you need not accept them, and you need not welcome |
W1:5.1 | you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you | believe is the cause of your upset, using the description of the |
W1:5.4 | which you first search your mind for “sources” of upset in which you | believe and forms of upset which you think result. |
W1:7.1 | This idea is particularly difficult to | believe at first. Yet it is the rationale for all of the preceding |
W1:7.8 | ideas about time are very difficult to change because everything you | believe is rooted in time and depends on your not learning these new |
W1:9.2 | It is difficult for the untrained mind to | believe that what seems to be pictured before it is not there. This |
W1:13.8 | because of the “vengeance” of the “enemy.” You are not expected to | believe the statement at this point and will probably try to dismiss |
W1:17.1 | It is always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation to | believe that it is really the other way around. This is not the way |
W1:17.8 | As usual, it is essential to make no distinction between what you | believe to be animate or inanimate, pleasant or unpleasant. |
W1:17.8 | or inanimate, pleasant or unpleasant. Regardless of what you may | believe, you do not see anything which is really alive and really |
W1:21.3 | not really recognize what arouses anger in you, and nothing that you | believe in this connection means anything. You will probably be |
W1:25.2 | anything is for. As a result, you are bound to misuse it. When you | believe this, you will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to |
W1:26.1 | invulnerable. You see attack as a real threat. That is because you | believe that you can really attack. And what would have effects |
W1:26.2 | be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must | believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack thoughts therefore make |
W1:26.3 | Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And because you | believe in them, you can no longer believe in yourself. A false image |
W1:26.3 | of yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no longer | believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to take the |
W1:27.2 | There may be a great temptation to | believe that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you |
W1:35.1 | you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to | believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world |
W1:35.1 | Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he does not | believe it. |
W1:35.2 | You will | believe that you are part of where you think you are. That is because |
W1:35.2 | made. The image is part of this environment. What you see while you | believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. This is |
W1:39.2 | in answering is not due to the ambiguity of the question. But do you | believe that guilt is hell? If you did, you would see at once how |
W1:41.1 | of loss. The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they | believe to be the “ills of the world.” But the one thing they do not |
W1:41.4 | We understand that you do not | believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within |
W1:41.7 | it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open if you | believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling |
W1:44.5 | you practice in this form, you leave behind everything that you now | believe and all the thoughts which you have made up. Properly |
W1:44.6 | that to reach light is to escape from darkness, whatever you may | believe to the contrary. God is the Light in which you see. You are |
W1:47.2 | Of yourself, you can do none of these things. To | believe that you can is to put your trust where trust is unwarranted |
W1:47.6 | is associated with feelings of inadequacy, since otherwise you would | believe that you could deal with the situation successfully. It is |
W1:48.1 | idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who | believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is |
W1:50.1 | you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you | believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed |
W1:55.6 | that I attempt to use everyone and everything. It is this that I | believe the world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real |
W1:68.2 | split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It makes you | believe that He is like what you think you have become, for no one |
W1:68.9 | surrounding you, hovering over you, and holding you up. Try to | believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. At |
W1:69.5 | From where you stand, you can see no reason to | believe there is a brilliant light hidden by the clouds. The clouds |
W1:70.1 | is nothing more than some form of the basic temptation not to | believe the idea for today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere |
W1:71.1 | for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you | believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to |
W1:71.1 | in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also | believe that to accept God's plan in place of the ego's is to be |
W1:71.1 | you will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do | believe it. |
W1:71.3 | grievance you hold is a declaration and an assertion in which you | believe that says, “If this were different, I would be saved.” The |
W1:72.2 | the best means to expand communication. Yet the ego would have you | believe that it is. |
W1:75.9 | Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. | Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He |
W1:76.8 | of the body's protection in innumerable ways. Think further—you | believe in the laws of friendship, of “good” relationships, and |
W1:87.5 | because there is no will but God's. I can become afraid only when I | believe that there is another will. I try to attack only when I am |
W1:87.5 | to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I | believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I will recognize |
W1:88.7 | My perception of this shows me I | believe in laws which do not exist. I see only the laws of God at |
W1:90.5 | solved. I seem to have problems only because I am misusing time. I | believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it |
W1:92.1 | is tied up with the body and its eyes and brain. This is why you | believe that you can change what you see by putting little bits of |
W1:92.2 | the conviction you are a body and the body's eyes can see. You also | believe the body's brain can think. If you but understood the nature |
W1:92.2 | bound until you let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to | believe the body's eyes can see, the brain can think. |
W1:93.2 | bowed down to idols made of dust—all this is true by what you now | believe. |
W1:95.1 | accept this and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you | believe that you have changed yourself already. You see yourself as a |
W1:99.16 | of doubt and fear forever from your mind. If you are tempted to | believe them true, remember that appearances cannot withstand the |
W1:101.1 | This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means. You still | believe it asks for suffering as penance for your “sins.” This is not |
W1:101.1 | for your “sins.” This is not so. Yet you must think it so while you | believe that sin is real and that God's Son can sin. If sin is real, |
W1:101.5 | periods today. The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you | believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. |
W1:102.1 | want to suffer. You may think it buys you something and may still | believe a little that it buys you what you want. Yet this belief is |
W1:121.9 | The unforgiving mind does not | believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will try to |
W1:124.9 | Your benefit will not be less if you | believe that nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain |
W1:126.2 | Let us consider what you do | believe in place of this idea. It seems to you that other people are |
W1:126.13 | to His correction and His Love. And what you hear of Him you will | believe, for what He gives will be received by you. |
W1:127.2 | on one and yet remain itself although it is withheld from others. To | believe these things of love is not to understand it. If it could |
W1:127.7 | For 15 minutes twice today escape from every law in which you now | believe. Open your mind and rest. The world that seems to hold you |
W1:128.1 | can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. | Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from |
W1:128.4 | thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to | believe the world has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is |
W1:130.4 | separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you | believe make up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made |
W1:133.10 | will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will | believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And though he |
W1:133.11 | to the dictates of his guide. This guidance teaches it is error to | believe that sins are but mistakes, for who would suffer for his sins |
W1:133.12 | And so we come to the criterion for choice which is the hardest to | believe, because its obviousness is overlaid with many levels of |
W1:133.17 | Should you begin to let yourself collect some needless burdens or | believe you see some difficult decisions facing you, be quick to |
W1:134.3 | that you find in genuine forgiveness on your part is that you still | believe you must forgive the truth and not illusions. You conceive of |
W1:134.4 | as deception. For it is impossible to think of sin as true and not | believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness really but a sin, |
W1:135.28 | Try not to shape this day as you | believe would benefit you most. For you cannot conceive of all the |
W1:136.3 | magic wands you wave when truth appears to threaten what you would | believe. They seem to be unconscious but because of the rapidity with |
W1:136.11 | Such is your planning for your own defense. And you | believe that Heaven quails before such mad attacks as these, with God |
W1:138.1 | In this world, Heaven is a choice because here we | believe there are alternatives to choose between. We think that all |
W1:139.3 | To be alive and not to know yourself is to | believe that you are really dead. For what is life except to be |
W1:139.7 | to ask what it must be is all the proof you need to show that you | believe the contradiction that you know not what you cannot fail to |
W1:151.2 | what is shown you through the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you | believe it, even though you learned a long while since your senses do |
W1:151.2 | you learned a long while since your senses do deceive. That you | believe them to the last detail which they report is even stranger |
W1:151.4 | is a right to be withheld from you. You cannot judge. You merely can | believe the ego's judgments, all of which are false. It guides your |
W1:151.5 | it speaks of and would yet defend it tells you is yourself. And you | believe that this is so with stubborn certainty. Yet underneath |
W1:151.5 | that what it shows you as reality with such conviction it does not | believe. It is itself alone that it condemns. It is within itself it |
W1:151.6 | not share the doubts their lord cannot completely vanquish. You | believe to doubt his vassals is to doubt yourself. Yet you must learn |
W1:152.2 | You may | believe that this position is extreme and too inclusive to be true. |
W1:152.6 | Is it not strange that you | believe to think you made the world you see is arrogance? God made it |
W1:152.7 | And can you see what God created not? To think you can is merely to | believe you can perceive what God willed not to be. And what could be |
W1:153.7 | you now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful image you | believe you see at work in all the evils of the world? What but |
W1:154.1 | not in hell. And what we think is weakness can be strength; what we | believe to be our strength is often arrogance. |
W1:155.1 | those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also and | believe that you are like them as you were before. |
W1:160.1 | Who could be sane in such a circumstance? Who but a madman could | believe he is what he is not and judge against himself? |
W1:166.2 | God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must still | believe there is another will, and one that leads to opposite effects |
W1:166.3 | are not acceptable to anyone who holds such strange beliefs. He must | believe that, to accept God's gifts, however evident they may become, |
W1:169.2 | that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace cannot | believe the world of fear is real. |
W1:170.1 | is protection; you are safe because of cruelty. You mean that you | believe to hurt another brings you freedom. And you mean that to |
W1:170.10 | stressed about the obstacles to peace. The final one, the hardest to | believe is nothing and a seeming obstacle with the appearance of a |
W1:181.5 | by a little while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will | believe will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the time of |
W1:184.5 | to teach the mind a thousand alien names and thousands more. Yet you | believe this is what learning means—its one essential goal by which |
W1:184.8 | you make appeal. His true Identity is hidden from you by what you | believe he really is. His body makes response to what you call him, |
W1:185.8 | the words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you | believe will comfort you and bring you happiness. But be you not |
W1:187.3 | the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not | believe that this is done until you see the miracles it brings to |
W1:187.8 | Never | believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice in |
W1:188.2 | This light cannot be lost. Why wait to find it in the future or | believe it has been lost already or was never there? It can so easily |
W1:191.4 | You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is folly to | believe. In this one thought is everything set free. In this one |
W1:193.10 | Shall we not learn to say these words when we are tempted to | believe that pain is real and death becomes our choice instead of |
W1:196.3 | would distort the truth will not deceive you longer. You will not | believe you are a body to be crucified. And you will see within |
W1:196.5 | belief the fear of God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could | believe his Father is his deadly enemy, separate from him and waiting |
W1:196.6 | Such is the form of madness you | believe if you accept the fearful thought you can attack another and |
W1:196.8 | by your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not now | believe that fear is caused without. And God, Whom you had thought to |
W1:198.8 | How foolish to | believe that They could die! How foolish to believe you can attack! |
W1:198.8 | How foolish to believe that They could die! How foolish to | believe you can attack! How mad to think that you could be condemned |
W1:199.7 | Be free today, and carry freedom as your gift to those who still | believe they are enslaved within a body. Be you free, so that the |

W2:228.1 | My Father knows my holiness. Shall I deny His knowledge and | believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? Shall I accept as |
W2:246.1 | his Father or my Self. Let me not fail to recognize myself and still | believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive |
W2:WIB.5 | with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will | believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and not in |

M:I.2 | There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you | believe one or the other is true all the time. From your |

M:I.3 | determined exclusively by what you think you are and what you | believe the relationship of others is to you. In the formal teaching |
M:I.3 | what you say that teaches you. Teaching but reinforces what you | believe about yourself. Its fundamental purpose is to diminish self |
M:1.1 | enough. He has entered an agreement with God even if he does not yet | believe in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has become a |
M:5.8 | do not realize they have chosen sickness. On the contrary, they | believe that sickness has chosen them. Nor are they open-minded on |
M:5.10 | for God's Voice in this brother who would so deceive himself as to | believe God's Son can suffer. And they remind him that he has not |
M:11.3 | These problems are not real, but that is meaningless to those who | believe in them. And everyone believes in what he made, for it was |
M:12.4 | separation, but because of what they use the body for, they do not | believe in the illusion despite appearances. |
M:13.6 | You may | believe this course requires sacrifice of all you really hold dear. |
M:13.7 | A split that cannot happen. Yet a split in which you surely will | believe, because you have set up a situation that is impossible. And |
M:15.3 | Is this your judgment on yourself, teacher of God? Do you | believe that this is wholly true? No, not yet, not yet. But this is |
M:17.6 | is inevitable, for its outcome must be death. How then can one | believe in one's defenses? Magic again must help. Forget the battle. |
M:17.6 | Accept your separation, but do not remember how it came about. | Believe that you have won it, but do not retain the slightest memory |
M:17.9 | that is not there, yet is the anger certain witness that you do | believe in it as fact. Now is escape impossible until you see you |
M:20.3 | way or any circumstance proclaims that peace is meaningless and must | believe that it cannot exist. In this condition peace cannot be |
M:22.4 | sickness does not appear to be a decision. Nor would anyone actually | believe he wants to be sick. Perhaps he can accept the idea in |
M:22.6 | the power to heal all individuals of all forms of sickness. Not to | believe this is to be unfair to God and thus unfaithful to Him. A |
M:24.2 | however, that the way to salvation can be found by those who | believe in reincarnation and by those who do not. The idea cannot, |
M:24.3 | on reincarnation. A teacher of God should be as helpful to those who | believe in it as to those who do not. If a definite stand on it were |
M:24.5 | Does this mean that the teacher of God should not | believe in reincarnation himself or discuss it with others who do? |
M:24.5 | it with others who do? The answer is certainly not! If he does | believe in reincarnation, it would be a mistake for him to renounce |
M:27.7 | thus: accept no compromise in which death plays a part. Do not | believe in cruelty nor let attack conceal the truth from you. What |
A Course of Love (329) | ||
C:P.9 | There are still few who dare to | believe in the glory of who they are, few who can lay aside the idea |
C:P.15 | rejecting who you are, you are demonstrating that you think you can | believe in some of the truth but not all of it. Many of you have |
C:P.15 | self that represents to you an invisible world in which you can | believe but not take part. You thus have placed the ego at odds with |
C:P.17 | from a place of misery and despair. What is more arrogant? To | believe that you alone can do what millions of others have not been |
C:P.17 | alone can do what millions of others have not been able to do? Or to | believe that you, in union with God, can? What makes more sense? To |
C:P.24 | A spirit that seeks to know what to do, a spirit that does not | believe in the answers it has been given. |
C:P.27 | again to live on in some form other than that of a man. Those who | believe the story have accepted that Jesus was God's son before he |
C:P.28 | who walk this world with you. And yet your history, in which you so | believe, will tell you that the world has always been thus and that |
C:P.29 | back when heaven could have been reached, the cost in continuing to | believe in the laws of the world that govern the survival of the |
C:P.31 | What does it mean to | believe in God? You recognize that you cannot know God in the same |
C:P.40 | transformation take place “with your own two eyes,” you would not | believe that the two seemingly disparate creatures were the same. |
C:1.13 | ego has you endlessly striving to achieve. Your ego would have you | believe that only when you need no one to achieve all you desire, |
C:2.3 | Because love has no physical form you cannot | believe that love could be what you are, what you strive to be, what |
C:2.3 | you are, what you strive to be, what you seek to return to. Thus you | believe you are something other than love and separate from love. You |
C:2.6 | To | believe that you are able to act in love in one instance and act in |
C:2.8 | This is the most you have any hope of doing, and few of you | believe you will succeed. Others refuse to think of life in terms of |
C:2.8 | options available to creatures of a loving God is insane. Yet you | believe that to think the opposite is true insanity. Given even your |
C:2.11 | compassionate. You have defined it unlike the compassion of God. To | believe God looks upon misery and responds with sympathy and concern |
C:2.11 | responds with sympathy and concern and does not end the misery is to | believe in a God who is compassionate as you are compassionate. You |
C:2.12 | I am not an advocate of heartlessness but wholeheartedness. If you | believe even the tiniest fraction of what is true, if you but believe |
C:2.12 | If you believe even the tiniest fraction of what is true, if you but | believe you are a small part of God no bigger than a pinprick of |
C:2.12 | bigger than a pinprick of light in a daunting sun, you still cannot | believe in the reality of misery and despair. If you do, you believe |
C:2.12 | cannot believe in the reality of misery and despair. If you do, you | believe this is the state of God as well. And if this were true, what |
C:2.16 | heart and think you can involve one without involving the other. You | believe that to know with your mind is a learning process that stands |
C:2.21 | Do not | believe that all that you have learned will not do what it was given |
C:2.21 | you have learned will not do what it was given you to do. Do not | believe in your failure or the ego's success. All you have learned is |
C:3.5 | these things real and all else unreal. You can close your eyes and | believe that you are in the dark, but you will not believe that you |
C:3.5 | your eyes and believe that you are in the dark, but you will not | believe that you are no longer real. Close your eyes on all that you |
C:3.9 | It is in what they symbolize that help arrives. You do not need to | believe in the words nor the potential of the exercises to change |
C:3.10 | within the mind. While you know this is true, you continue to | believe you are the effect and not the cause. This is partially due |
C:3.10 | been unable to let new learning have its effect. This is because you | believe your mind is in control of what it thinks. You believe in a |
C:3.10 | because you believe your mind is in control of what it thinks. You | believe in a process of input and output, all completely human and |
C:3.11 | thousand tests dependent on your senses and your judgment. While you | believe you know what will hurt you and what you will find |
C:3.12 | one reacts another, and it is only in the study of the two that you | believe learning takes place. |
C:3.16 | and over-trusted brain, a mind we cannot separate from where we | believe it to be. |
C:4.8 | is simply this: to proceed toward love or to withdraw from it, to | believe it is given or withheld. |
C:4.11 | perceptions of your brothers and sisters are what have caused you to | believe that love can fail, be lost, withdrawn, or turned to hate. |
C:4.12 | as joy. You each have an image in your mind of someone you | believe knows what love is. This is perhaps an elderly person who is |
C:4.12 | when the time is right. For that kind and gentle stance you do not | believe will serve you now, that blindness and self-sacrifice is |
C:4.15 | and the trappings of good upbringing. Those most insecure will | believe in a partner who would shower him or her with praise and |
C:4.16 | You | believe you can fall in love with the wrong person and make a better |
C:4.16 | better choice based upon criteria more important than love. You thus | believe love is a choice, something to be given to some and not to |
C:4.21 | your forays into the world that you have made and upon entering | believe you leave the world's madness outside your door. Here you |
C:4.22 | their backs upon the world even for the scanty hours that they make | believe they can do so. Full-scale interaction with the world of |
C:5.11 | You do not yet | believe nor understand that the urges that you feel are real, and |
C:5.15 | upon it with your body's eyes. The one you do not see and do not | believe in is the one you cannot look outward to see, but is the one |
C:5.22 | You cling to effort as if it is the way to God, not wanting to | believe all effort is in vain or that a simple solution exists. A |
C:5.23 | with a thousand choices to make, not once but many times, until you | believe that your power of choice is a fantasy and that you are |
C:6.6 | can do for you. Forgiveness of the original error—the choice to | believe that you are separate despite the fact that this is not so |
C:6.20 | yet you imagine them happy and at peace. Even those who claim not to | believe in God or an afterlife of any sort will, when prompted to be |
C:7.9 | is what you have chosen to keep secure and set aside there. When you | believe that this is so and that what you give away you will receive |
C:7.21 | their version of the truth, and for consistency's sake you choose to | believe in the version of the truth most predominate in your society. |
C:7.23 | your heart, you will deny it not, nor its source. You do not need to | believe that this will happen, but only to allow for the possibility |
C:9.3 | that you have distorted. Your faulty memory has caused you to | believe love can be used to keep you safe, to make you happy and bind |
C:9.8 | what God created and turned it into an illusion so powerful that you | believe it is what you are, rather than believing in the truth. But |
C:9.11 | simple idea that you do not have what you need. You will continue to | believe this while your allegiance remains split. Until you have |
C:9.11 | Until you have withdrawn all faith in what you have made, you will | believe that what you made remains useful to you. Since this is the |
C:9.21 | it. All of your behavior and even your fantasies testify that you | believe an absence of cold makes for warmth. That the absence of |
C:9.23 | feel lacking and so you want. You want and want and want. You truly | believe you do not have what you need, and so make yourself |
C:9.35 | this forgiveness, as there is no truth to this big change that you | believe you have undergone, your desire to be forgiven is a first |
C:9.38 | it. You have forgotten that only you can be accomplished. You | believe that by putting various parts together a whole can be |
C:10.6 | it whispers constantly in your ear, the lie that it would have you | believe makes all else you would learn here as impossible as this. |
C:10.8 | but a fact,” all you need tell yourself is, “I am still willing to | believe otherwise.” |
C:10.10 | Again but state your willingness. A willingness to | believe that you have everything you need despite the “fact” that it |
C:10.11 | stages of your learning, you will be tempted to play a game of make | believe. You will not believe that you are not your body, but you |
C:10.11 | you will be tempted to play a game of make believe. You will not | believe that you are not your body, but you would make believe that |
C:10.11 | You will not believe that you are not your body, but you would make | believe that you are not. You may then be tempted to believe that |
C:10.11 | you would make believe that you are not. You may then be tempted to | believe that because you are pretending you are not a body, you can |
C:10.12 | and bones. Belief is not your problem. Understanding is. While you | believe in God, you do not understand God. While you believe in me, |
C:10.12 | is. While you believe in God, you do not understand God. While you | believe in me, you do not understand how these words have come from |
C:10.12 | you do not understand how these words have come from me. While you | believe in heaven and an afterlife, you do not understand what or |
C:10.12 | an afterlife, you do not understand what or where they are. And to | believe in something that you do not understand makes you feel |
C:10.12 | feel peculiar at the least and delusional at the worst. You want to | believe and so you believe. But you also want to be “right” about |
C:10.12 | least and delusional at the worst. You want to believe and so you | believe. But you also want to be “right” about what you believe. The |
C:10.12 | and so you believe. But you also want to be “right” about what you | believe. The convenient thing about your belief in God, in me, in |
C:10.13 | being separate, however. The only thing you find really difficult to | believe is that you are in union with your brothers and sisters, |
C:10.13 | are in union with your brothers and sisters, right now, today. To | believe in God without understanding God is one thing. To believe in |
C:10.13 | today. To believe in God without understanding God is one thing. To | believe in your union with your neighbor without understanding either |
C:10.13 | not necessarily bring you comfort or do you no harm. What if you | believe in the goodness of your neighbor and that belief is |
C:10.14 | your heart when you consider giving up your belief in the body. To | believe you are not your body while you walk around within it is |
C:10.15 | here to teach you once again because I was the example life. Do you | believe that when I walked the earth I was a body, or do you believe |
C:10.15 | Do you believe that when I walked the earth I was a body, or do you | believe that I was the Son of God before I was born into human form, |
C:10.16 | it is illusion because you have no need of tools. But while you | believe you do, it is quite real to you. To give up the body entirely |
C:11.12 | is powerful as it is part, but only part, of what has allowed you to | believe in your separated state. While you could have used your free |
C:12.1 | you would say, “A new discovery has been found and I am willing to | believe it may be true, especially if others are also going to |
C:12.1 | to believe it may be true, especially if others are also going to | believe it to be true.” |
C:12.3 | and to believing you have already tried and failed. For all of you | believe that you have tried this idea called love, and all of you |
C:12.3 | believe that you have tried this idea called love, and all of you | believe you have evidence that it is not the answer at all. What is |
C:12.12 | too, seem to have remained the same for countless ages. Perhaps you | believe that long ago you evolved from a form different than that |
C:12.23 | Separation is painful only to those who | believe it can occur in truth. What would a child's rejection or a |
C:12.23 | a child's rejection or a parent's death mean to those who did not | believe in separation? Do you believe that God believes in |
C:12.23 | death mean to those who did not believe in separation? Do you | believe that God believes in separation? He knows it not, and because |
C:12.24 | of what cannot truly be personified. You find it hard to | believe Creation itself can be benevolent and kind, or just another |
C:13.6 | this new evidence is to trust in your own heart. Are you willing to | believe what your heart would tell you? |
C:14.6 | the senselessness of a creator and a creation such as this and still | believe in it, then you must believe in a god who is insane. You— |
C:14.6 | and a creation such as this and still believe in it, then you must | believe in a god who is insane. You—who pride yourself on reason |
C:14.6 | such as this could contain any reason whatsoever. Why then do you | believe in it? |
C:14.7 | at all? Those who have turned their backs on God and refused to | believe in such nonsense have simply refused to make reason try to |
C:14.8 | You are not asked to | believe the unbelievable, or to disregard all that reason would say |
C:14.16 | This universe is yourself and you are everything in it. Do you not | believe that were you to perish something quite unique would be lost |
C:14.21 | those who would admit to fear, and those who would not, would still | believe that love exists despite fear's claim upon it, and think that |
C:15.4 | can see that this desire can wreak havoc; but still you would not | believe that your own desire for specialness or to make another |
C:16.5 | a body condemned to death is what judgment does to all of you who | believe that what is the same can be made different. This is as true |
C:16.6 | you choose to see. Your choice lies with God or with the self you | believe you have succeeded in separating from Him, and based on this |
C:16.10 | that reason does not oppose love, as your split mind would have you | believe it does. For your split mind judges even love and opposes it |
C:16.14 | cannot guarantee your safety against everything all of the time, you | believe you can guarantee your safety against some things some of the |
C:16.15 | While you claim you need proof before you can | believe or accept something as a fact or as the truth, and certainly |
C:16.15 | truth, and certainly before you can act upon it, you live as if you | believe that what has never worked before will somehow miraculously |
C:16.16 | proves anything, it proves the opposite of what you would care to | believe. The more the individual, society, and culture indulge in the |
C:16.19 | evil does not abolish it, but only makes it real to you. Yet you | believe judgment to be based on justice, and justice to include the |
C:16.20 | that is known to many of you, and even those who know the saying not | believe in the tenets it represents. This, you will claim, you have |
C:17.6 | even those of you who would listen to what the experts have to say | believe this not. |
C:17.10 | the impossible has become possible. If you were not so determined to | believe correction cannot be made, correction would have occurred. |
C:17.11 | of criminals as well as of your own self and those you love? You | believe mistakes must be paid for, not once but many times, and no |
C:17.12 | belief in sin and the irreversibility of all errors. If you do not | believe you can reverse or “turn back” to the state in which you |
C:18.1 | Many of you | believe God's creation included the fall from paradise as described |
C:18.9 | to learn what the idea of separation would teach you, you needed to | believe that you existed in a separated state. Thus, “forgetting” |
C:18.10 | of your perception of yourself and the limited range of power you | believe your decision making to have. The only way to make the |
C:19.5 | itself, that sounds like fiction. You are not, however, expected to | believe all I have told you on faith alone. Experience is needed to |
C:19.15 | are willing to exchange experience for second-hand knowledge and to | believe you can come to know through the experiences of others. Yet, |
C:19.17 | view those who worship many gods as primitive, although those who | believe in a god synonymous with creation are closer to a true |
C:19.18 | you are beginning to shed the concept of the separate self and to | believe in the possibility of response, you will find yourself more |
C:20.14 | I am alive and you do | believe this or you would not be here. Yet you think not of me living |
C:20.40 | It is your belief that this is not so that causes judgment. All who | believe they have “more” fall prey to righteousness. All who believe |
C:20.40 | All who believe they have “more” fall prey to righteousness. All who | believe they have “less” fall victim to envy. Both “fall” from grace |
C:20.43 | To | believe in your perfection and the equality of your gifts is peaceful |
C:20.46 | have reacted with resistance. You must replace your willingness to | believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your willingness to |
C:20.46 | to believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your willingness to | believe in your ability and mightiness. Remember not your ego |
C:20.47 | Your personal concerns are concerns you have been taught to | believe you have. They are small concerns and they are among the |
C:22.7 | life, where you experience those things that cause you to feel or | believe in a certain way—and it is at this point of intersection |
C:23.2 | your remaining fears about the loss of your individuality that you | believe will accompany the loss of your separated self. For, as each |
C:23.12 | If form is an extension of belief you can see why what you | believe is critical to how you live with form. We are speaking here |
C:23.16 | by the miracle. Form is not a constant but a result. While you | believe that belief is the result of form, it is not. Form is the |
C:23.17 | History has shown you that what you | believe is possible becomes possible. Science has proven the link |
C:23.17 | researcher and research findings. Still you find it difficult to | believe that what is possible depends upon what you can imagine being |
C:25.9 | life day after day and year after year until you realize and truly | believe the basic tenets this Course has put forward. |
C:25.10 | are here and your entitlement to be fully present here. If you still | believe you are here to acquire some perceived ideal separated state, |
C:25.10 | If, however, you have accepted the basic tenets of this Course and | believe you are here to realize unity, then all action will be in |
C:25.10 | here to realize unity, then all action will be in harmony. If you | believe you and your brothers and sisters are here in a state of |
C:25.10 | fallen from grace, then all action will be out of harmony. If you | believe you and all other living things are here in a state of grace, |
C:25.10 | here in a state of grace, then all action will be in harmony. If you | believe one living thing is more important than any other, then all |
C:25.10 | than any other, then all action will be out of harmony. If you | believe all are essential, then all action will be in harmony. |
C:25.12 | To | believe you are in concert with the universe is to believe that you |
C:25.12 | To believe you are in concert with the universe is to | believe that you have no need for struggle, to believe you have no |
C:25.12 | the universe is to believe that you have no need for struggle, to | believe you have no lack, to believe in your state of grace. While |
C:25.12 | that you have no need for struggle, to believe you have no lack, to | believe in your state of grace. While you believe even one person is |
C:25.12 | you have no lack, to believe in your state of grace. While you | believe even one person is against you, you are not in concert with |
C:25.12 | person is against you, you are not in concert with God. While you | believe fate works against you, you are not in concert with the |
C:25.13 | or disillusion, every attack and every hurt, a person you | believe acted toward you without love. While you believe feelings of |
C:25.13 | hurt, a person you believe acted toward you without love. While you | believe feelings of lack of love come from anywhere but within, you |
C:26.1 | feel when anyone dies young. You each have some notion of what you | believe a full life to be. For some of you it would include marriage |
C:26.10 | struggle and your striving. You find it almost impossible still to | believe effort is not called for—that what your heart but wishes |
C:26.25 | next. This is, in effect, your attempt to control what you do not | believe you created, and what you feel deprived of creating. As a |
C:28.3 | personal and universal, this is the source of all proof. And so you | believe coming together to share common testimony validates the proof |
C:28.3 | shared beliefs amass, like a congregation around a pulpit, and even | believe in a theory of mass that purports that when a certain |
C:28.10 | is seen and felt as a reward, a prize, a confirmation that you | believe allows your conviction to grow. Because you believe it, this |
C:28.10 | that you believe allows your conviction to grow. Because you | believe it, this is, at first, quite true. But now it is no longer |
C:29.17 | of existence and cannot be changed and has not changed, although you | believe it not. It is a joyful relationship, as the nature of |
C:30.11 | without loss. You will never be aware of gain without loss while you | believe in what is finite in nature. The cycle of giving and |
C:31.1 | Mind, just as there is only one Will. This you are afraid of, as you | believe this statement threatens your independence, something you |
C:31.8 | is something that the Earth and all on the Earth are part of. You | believe fully that you are inseparable from the Earth, the cosmos, |
C:31.8 | the cosmos, gravity, the laws that rule the universe, just as you | believe your brain and, erroneously, your mind, is inseparable from |
C:31.9 | yet you allow yourself to resist the whole idea of God because you | believe that what is one cannot also be many. |
C:31.13 | cannot be split and must be total to be at all. Thus while you | believe you are devoted to the thoughts of a split mind you are |
C:31.16 | that you let decide upon your truth. For what you live is what you | believe is the truth about yourself. While you continue to live |
C:31.18 | go and getting rid of that which you do not want. Some of you | believe this can be done and others don't. Those who believe in it |
C:31.18 | Some of you believe this can be done and others don't. Those who | believe in it believe in sin, and that it can be replaced by |
C:31.18 | believe this can be done and others don't. Those who believe in it | believe in sin, and that it can be replaced by forgiveness. Those who |
C:31.18 | in sin, and that it can be replaced by forgiveness. Those who do not | believe in it do not believe that sin can be forgiven and do not seek |
C:31.18 | be replaced by forgiveness. Those who do not believe in it do not | believe that sin can be forgiven and do not seek forgiveness, |
C:31.18 | forgiveness is something that they do not deserve. Few truly | believe in atonement or undoing. Few truly believe there is no sin. |
C:31.18 | do not deserve. Few truly believe in atonement or undoing. Few truly | believe there is no sin. Few truly believe that they are not the sum |
C:31.18 | atonement or undoing. Few truly believe there is no sin. Few truly | believe that they are not the sum of their behaviors. How, then, is |
C:31.30 | specific. You are looking for a friend, a spouse, a mentor. You | believe you are seeking something other than you to complete |
C:32.5 | them to you transformed by Love. Do not grieve your thoughts or | believe in loss of anything of any kind. Thus will all you have |
T1:1.1 | for what they already know how to find or for what they already | believe they possess. |
T1:1.5 | and truth. This is a simple act of recognizing meaning. All that you | believe you learned from illusion will have no meaning to you now and |
T1:3.1 | other words they will relate to the re-experiencing of all that you | believe has shaped your life. These opportunities are but the |
T1:3.23 | Proof of nothing and easily discounted and explained away. Surely to | believe that where one miracle worked another might be possible would |
T1:4.18 | A response is an expression of who you are rather than of what you | believe something else to be. |
T1:5.11 | dictated by the ego-mind, and this experience is all that makes you | believe you are other than who you are. Thus the abolishing of the |
T1:8.11 | forth of the new through union with the divine Self. Whether you | believe the virgin birth was reality or myth matters not as myth and |
T1:10.8 | of God. There is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether you | believe it now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of God is all |
T1:10.12 | What quiet knowing cannot come to you in peace? Why would you | believe you can learn from the turmoil of extremes what you cannot |
T2:1.3 | in the first sense is, first and foremost, something that you | believe exists and have defined as being of value. As this Treatise |
T2:1.4 | of returning to it, often turn away from internal treasures that you | believe, when realized, might feed the ego. Despite many observations |
T2:5.7 | the truth that giving and receiving are one, you will not fully | believe that needs are not lacks. Until you have fully integrated the |
T2:6.2 | time that govern your days and years but the rules of time that you | believe govern your days and years and that you thus allow to govern |
T2:6.5 | of treasure and you will understand what it is of which I speak. You | believe that your treasures only become accomplished abilities within |
T2:6.5 | your treasures only become accomplished abilities within time. You | believe that your treasures only become part of your identity when |
T2:6.5 | this trick of your mind has not worked. And yet, if you | believe that this trick of your mind has worked, you act as if you |
T2:6.5 | real to you. This “seems” quite real to you because of what you | believe. |

T2:7.4 | been so often defined and repeated within this Course. In order to | believe in giving and receiving as one, you must believe in |
T2:7.4 | Course. In order to believe in giving and receiving as one, you must | believe in relationship rather than in others. |
T2:7.6 | ego you will not understand giving and receiving as one and will not | believe in it. |
T2:7.7 | of your life. Each time another thwarts you, you will be tempted to | believe that giving and receiving as one is not taking place. Your |
T2:7.13 | cannot be independent and still be of service. For as long as you | believe in your independence you will not accept your dependence. You |
T2:7.14 | from being needy and dependent in an unhealthy way, is that you | believe in giving and receiving as one. You believe, in other words, |
T2:7.14 | way, is that you believe in giving and receiving as one. You | believe, in other words, that your needs will be provided for, thus |
T2:7.14 | you are a being with needs is not the aim of this Course. To come to | believe that your needs are provided for by a Creator and a creation |
T2:7.14 | for by a Creator and a creation that includes all “others” is to | believe in giving and receiving being one in truth. |
T2:9.4 | of their ability to meet them. When your needs cease being met, you | believe there has been a loss such as with the loss of a job or loved |
T2:9.4 | of the promise of some service. When you think in such a way you | believe in loss and gain rather than in the replacement belief that |
T2:9.12 | and unlearning cease to occur. The desire to maintain a state you | believe you have achieved and have labeled a state in which your |
T2:10.7 | While you are being told that you can no longer | believe that what you know is related to experience, you are not |
T2:10.15 | was said in the beginning, it is realized that it is hard for you to | believe that the Christ in you is in need of learning. Think a moment |
T2:11.15 | remain if you remain convinced that the ego is real. As long as you | believe that the ego is real, you will feel as if there are two |
T2:11.15 | to you within your world. This battle of good and evil, while you | believe in it still, will be demonstrated before you just as it has |
T2:12.5 | feel as if you do not understand miracles, you will be reluctant to | believe in them or to see yourself as a miracle worker. Your belief |
T2:12.5 | your belief in atonement or correction are the same thing. While you | believe there is anything other than your own thinking that is in |
T3:2.4 | necessary to thoroughly discuss the ego's thought system. What you | believe about yourself is part of the foundation that has been built |
T3:2.8 | the self without this being so. In each, however, is the self you | believe is real revealed. Thus, not all that is called art is art, |
T3:2.11 | you to imagine being able to take steps “back” to the God you | believe you left in defiance, or the Self you believe you abandoned |
T3:2.11 | “back” to the God you believe you left in defiance, or the Self you | believe you abandoned there. Be truthful with yourself now and |
T3:2.11 | need to abandon your Self or God. Why should you be more inclined to | believe that you left a paradise in order to live a while in a form |
T3:2.12 | the cost. This discussion merely examined the reality you chose to | believe in, the reality of an ego-self, a self-concept seemingly |
T3:3.9 | still believes you are not good enough to be the “good” self you | believe this Course calls you to be. Most of you have now believed |
T3:6.5 | have denied the existence of, it is not evil but bitterness. You may | believe that bitterness is just another word, another label for the |
T3:7.2 | you are and who God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you | believe that God created you with a thought or idea, then you can |
T3:7.2 | or idea, then you can begin to see the power of thought. If you can | believe that you created the ego with a thought or an idea, you can |
T3:8.4 | personal self and the experience of the personal self. Whether you | believe the personal self is comprised of the one identity you now |
T3:8.5 | to suffer, a suffering for which you see no rationale. Those who | believe in past lives have also often adopted beliefs regarding |
T3:8.5 | in past lives have also often adopted beliefs regarding choice and | believe that choices for suffering were made for some greater good or |
T3:8.5 | to leave this idea behind. The choice that has been made is to | believe in a savior who could have, but did not, keep you from this |
T3:8.5 | this suffering. The choice that has not been made is the choice to | believe in the Christ-Self who is the only savior, rather than the |
T3:8.6 | What happens when you | believe the choice to suffer, as well as the choice to leave |
T3:8.8 | suffer and eventually die? Why should you not be bitter when you | believe you are powerless? How difficult it is to believe that you |
T3:8.8 | be bitter when you believe you are powerless? How difficult it is to | believe that you need not change the world but only your own self. |
T3:10.13 | a child and then learned and spoke English for many years, you might | believe your Spanish to be forgotten. However, if you were to return |
T3:11.1 | in the house of illusion are aware of the personal self alone and | believe the personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe |
T3:11.1 | and believe the personal self to be who they are. Further, they | believe the personal self to be the truth of the statement, “I am.” |

T3:13.13 | physical, is the action of giving birth. Realize that you | believe in many things that did not originate with yourself. But it |
T3:13.13 | that you own those beliefs in terms of making them your beliefs. To | believe without forming your own ideas about your beliefs is to be in |
T3:14.2 | of the ego into the thought system of the truth, you will begin to | believe in such things as benevolence and abundance. What this means |
T3:15.5 | give oneself or another a new beginning, you often act “as if” you | believe a new beginning is possible, even while awaiting the lapse |
T3:19.14 | and miracles you have heard of in the past without being moved to | believe that they mean anything at all about the nature of who you |
T3:20.7 | You cannot imagine not offering sympathy. You think it naïve to | believe in positive outcomes. You listen to statistics of what has |
T3:20.7 | of what has occurred before and in similar situations, and you | believe in what the statistics would seem to tell you. You might |
T3:20.8 | the response of love to love. Why think you it is loving to | believe in suffering? Do you not begin to see that in so doing you |
T3:21.8 | This certainty is antithetical to you. You think that to | believe in one truth is to deny other truths. There is only one |

T3:22.13 | in the here and now that is and brings what is into existence. You | believe that what does not appear to exist with you in the here and |

T4:1.13 | come to be? Why has it not been known? What could possibly make you | believe it could come to be now when it didn't come to be before? |
T4:2.8 | can be no judgment carried forward with you and when you continue to | believe in a process of evolution that has made you better than those |
T4:2.8 | who came before, you are carrying judgment. While you continue to | believe that being chosen means that some are not chosen, you are |
T4:2.8 | are not chosen, you are carrying judgment. While you continue to | believe that a final judgment will separate the good from the evil, |
T4:2.14 | It is difficult for you, because of the patterns of the past, to | believe that you are chosen to be the pioneers into a new time |
T4:2.23 | an impact on your life or on your part of the world. But unless you | believe in the ability for what happens to have an effect on you, you |
T4:2.29 | why you can still think of observance of what is as a game of make | believe and feel that you will have to trick yourself into believing |

T4:5.13 | At that time it is your judgment of yourself and your ability to | believe in the glory that is yours, that determines the way in which |
T4:6.3 | Those who | believe that only some will be chosen can create a scenario in which |

D:Day1.7 | this mountain peak and this dialogue that is occurring here. If you | believe this mountain peak is merely metaphorical, you will not |

D:Day1.10 | I have been trained, I understand the truth about outer space, I | believe in my abilities; but I do not accept the spacecraft as |
D:Day2.17 | the reasons you hesitate to fully accept me. It is hard for you to | believe that my suffering was symbolic of the end of yours when so |
D:Day2.17 | will add here the example of my resurrection. It is hard for you to | believe that my resurrection heralded eternal life when death has |
D:Day2.17 | all those who have lived since my time. It is difficult for you to | believe that by following me you will not walk in my footsteps. |
D:Day3.7 | You may | believe a spiritual context for your life can change your life, make |
D:Day3.7 | certain type, even extending to a new comfortableness of being. You | believe having a spiritual context for your life can, in other words, |
D:Day3.8 | You may | believe that having a spiritual context for your life will assist you |
D:Day3.8 | and possibly even assist you in finding some one to love. You may | believe that this spirituality can help mend a feeling of |
D:Day3.8 | guilty or bitter, shamed or rejected because of them. But you do not | believe this spiritual context is capable of bringing you the lack of |
D:Day3.9 | living abundantly will cause you to think, “I doubt it.” Or, “I'll | believe it when I see it.” You might think spirituality can assist |
D:Day3.29 | secret of money, the secret of success: Answer truly if you really | believe this, or if you are merely covering over your fear of not |

D:Day6.19 | and discovery cannot occur in a place set apart from “normal” life. | Believe me when I tell you that the elevation you are currently |
D:Day9.7 | you know you have not allowed yourself freedom of expression, you | believe you have allowed yourself freedom of thought. You believe you |
D:Day9.7 | you believe you have allowed yourself freedom of thought. You | believe you have allowed yourself freedom of feeling. And yet if the |

D:Day9.20 | is not a cause for predetermination that we can proceed. For if you | believe that we are proceeding to some predetermined ideal state, we |

D:Day10.6 | of form, you will instinctively have greater trust in it. You will | believe it comes from a place “other than” or beyond the self of form |
D:Day10.14 | Because you | believe that your feelings have misled you in the past, you now still |
D:Day10.27 | review your ideas about the afterlife, a life in which most of you | believe peacefulness reigns and the spirit is free of the body. Yet |
D:Day32.12 | Yet to | believe that God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are |
D:Day32.13 | be endless, just as one could make an endless list of what they | believe differentiates God from man. The example lives in which the |
D:Day34.6 | This is your life and your experience of life. Now you must | believe that you are its creator and powerful in your relationship to |
D:Day37.2 | If you no longer | believe in God as a supreme and separate being, why should it be |
D:Day37.7 | and the image you hold of yourself has been inaccurate. Because you | believe you are separate, you created God as a particular and |
D:Day37.9 | on your idea of a separate and particular God is that you want to | believe that there is a compassionate being in charge of everything, |
D:Day37.14 | that power only in relationship to the separate reality in which you | believe yourself to exist. You have exercised that power by making |
D:Day37.14 | life just “happens” to you, and then responding to what happens. You | believe either that you are in complete control of your life, or that |
D:Day37.14 | life, or that God or fate have as much control as you do. You may | believe yourself, God, and fate to be benevolent, or you may believe |
D:Day37.14 | You may believe yourself, God, and fate to be benevolent, or you may | believe that everything, including yourself, works against you. You |
D:Day37.16 | thinking, creating, perceiving human being because this is what you | believe yourself to be. You may see yourself as a separate human |
D:Day37.16 | but a perceived relationship only—and only because you do not | believe that you can “know,” truly know, what you do in truth know. |
D:Day37.16 | what you do in truth know. You know that you know, but you do not | believe that you know, because you believe you are separate and so |

Tx:6.9 | it cannot be assailed. Do not protect it yourselves, or you have | believed that it is assailable. You are not asked to be |
Tx:6.10 | in them. God placed it there Himself, and so it is true forever. I | believed in it and therefore made it forever true for me. Help me to |
Tx:6.52 | that when you put yourselves in an impossible situation, you | believed that the impossible was possible. |
Tx:6.57 | with Him. This is because you had already taught wrongly, having | believed what was not true. You did not believe in your own |

Tx:7.5 | I gave only love to the Kingdom because I | believed that was what I was. What you believe you are determines |

Tx:7.61 | never have been called upon by the Holy Spirit if you had not | believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when you believe |
Tx:7.89 | you learn about the ego, the more you realize that it cannot be | believed. The incredible cannot be understood, because it is |
Tx:7.101 | nothing. On the contrary, you will be gaining everything. If you | believed this, there would be no conflict. |
Tx:8.22 | this choice, you will begin to learn and understand why you have | believed that when you met someone else, you had thought that he |
Tx:10.2 | Yet what would you say to someone who really | believed this question involves conflict? If you made the ego, how |
Tx:10.82 | the answer, but you have misunderstood the question. You have | believed that to ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit is to ask for |
Tx:11.21 | the denial of truth, and what we can accomplish together must be | believed when you see it as accomplished. |

Tx:11.87 | of it. Adam's “sin” could have touched none of you, had you not | believed that it was the Father Who drove him out of paradise. For |
Tx:12.21 | this to happen. Yet you demanded that it happen and therefore | believed that it was so. |

Tx:13.29 | reason to look within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you | believed you were. Your guilt is without reason, because it is not in |
Tx:13.55 | one to you. For if you value one thing made of nothing, you have | believed that nothing can be precious and that you can learn how to |
Tx:13.60 | We said before, “Be not content with nothing,” for you have | believed that nothing could content you. It is not so. |

Tx:4.27 | is. The question is not how man responds to his ego, but what he | believes he is. |
Tx:4.33 | The ego | believes it is completely on its own, which is merely another way of |
Tx:4.94 | part of it is concrete. The concrete part is the same part that | believes in the ego because the ego depends on the specific. It is |
Tx:4.94 | ego because the ego depends on the specific. It is the part that | believes your existence means you are separate. |
Tx:5.61 | The ego is the part of the mind which | believes in division. How can part of God detach itself without |
Tx:5.61 | problem as involving the concept of usurping God's power. The ego | believes that this is what you did because it believes it is you. |

Tx:6.46 | outside its maker, thus speaking for the part of your mind that | believes you are separate and outside the Mind of God. The ego, then, |
Tx:6.48 | It interprets this as a justification for attacking its maker. It | believes that the best defense is attack and wants you to believe |
Tx:7.37 | or the Will of God is not an ability but a real delusion. The ego | believes that it has this ability and can offer it to you as a |
Tx:7.42 | him. Magic always sees something “special” in the healer which he | believes he can offer as a gift to someone who does not have it. He |
Tx:7.50 | it does not love it. It incorporates to take away. It literally | believes that every time it deprives someone of something, it has |
Tx:7.55 | The mind that accepts attack cannot love. That is because it | believes that it can destroy love and therefore does not understand |
Tx:7.64 | believe what you can understand is up to you to decide. The ego | believes this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not true. |
Tx:7.78 | that others are taking it from you. One must be fearful if he | believes that his brother is attacking him to tear the Kingdom of |
Tx:7.79 | insane belief that you have been treacherous to your Creator, it | believes that your brothers, who are as incapable of this as you |
Tx:7.79 | from you. Whenever a brother attacks another, this is what he | believes. Projection always sees your will in others. If you will |
Tx:7.104 | a matter of his own belief. Believing that he can betray, he | believes that everything can betray him. Yet this is only because |
Tx:8.63 | which is working through the body but not in it. If the mind | believes the body is its goal, it will distort its perception of |
Tx:8.69 | definitions of everything are childish and always based on what it | believes a thing is for. This is because it is incapable of true |
Tx:8.69 | it teaches that you are to attack with, because this is what it | believes. The body, then, is not the source of its own health. The |
Tx:8.85 | the mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, yet the ego actually | believes that it is protecting it. This is because the ego believes |
Tx:8.85 | believes that it is protecting it. This is because the ego | believes that mind is dangerous and that to make mindless is to |
Tx:8.97 | can believe that its will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind | believes that its will is different from His, it can only decide |
Tx:8.97 | basic type of insane decision will induce panic, because the atheist | believes he is alone, and the martyr believes that God is crucifying |
Tx:8.97 | panic, because the atheist believes he is alone, and the martyr | believes that God is crucifying him. Both really fear abandonment and |
Tx:9.15 | of the ego that you should be quite familiar with it by now. The ego | believes that all functions belong to it, even though it has no |
Tx:9.20 | likely to start with the equally incredible idea that he really | believes in attack and so does the patient, but it does not matter in |
Tx:9.25 | He cannot correct because he is not working correctively. He | believes that it is up to him to teach the patient what is real, |
Tx:9.27 | of one whose direction has been changed for him and who no longer | believes in nightmares of any kind. The light in his mind will |
Tx:9.48 | perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, the ego | believes that its “enemy” has struck and attempts to offer gifts to |
Tx:9.51 | be a real part of you because of the littleness in which it | believes. |
Tx:9.77 | not side with sickness in the presence of a Son of God even if he | believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him acknowledges |
Tx:10.49 | have become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to learn what he | believes would destroy him. |
Tx:10.51 | Him and fulfilling your function as it exists in truth. The ego | believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. But it is given |
Tx:10.53 | approach of the ego to everything. Never forget that the ego | believes that power, understanding, and truth lie in separation, |
Tx:10.70 | world's only reality. They are still perceptions because he still | believes that he is separate. Yet they are eternal because they are |
Tx:11.16 | in sickness but another call for love and offer your brother what he | believes he cannot offer himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but |
Tx:11.25 | want to do. The very fact of his insistence should tell you that he | believes salvation lies in it. If you insist on refusing and |
Tx:11.30 | your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for everyone | believes that identification is salvation. Yet consider what has |
Tx:11.36 | teaching. It never puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who | believes that the ego is salvation is intensely engaged in the search |
Tx:11.37 | off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is your mind that | believes in it and gives existence to it. Yet it is also your mind |
Tx:11.74 | to death. The death penalty is the ego's ultimate goal, for it fully | believes that you are a criminal, as deserving of death as God knows |
Tx:11.92 | he fears and which he sees will never touch him, for although he | believes in it, the Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy |
Tx:11.96 | on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past to future. No one who | believes this can understand what always means. And therefore guilt |
Tx:11.98 | the ego's plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The ego | believes in atonement through attack, being fully committed to the |
Tx:12.26 | might well begin. The ego invests heavily in the past and in the end | believes that the past is the only aspect of time that is |
Tx:12.35 | one hears their answer save him who called upon them, and he alone | believes they answered him. Projection makes perception, and you |
Tx:13.27 | to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God | believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark world where pain |
Tx:13.35 | no one sees himself in conflict and ravaged by a cruel war unless he | believes that both opponents in the war are real. Believing this, |
Tx:14.28 | is seen in the same place. Light cannot enter darkness when a mind | believes in darkness and will not let it go. Truth does not |
Tx:15.66 | the ego to enter into any relationship without anger, for the ego | believes that anger makes friends. This is not its statement, but |
Tx:15.67 | in it, to learn to let it go. No one would choose to let go what he | believes has value. Yet the attraction of guilt has value to you only |
Tx:15.71 | he wants. He is not in love with the other at all. He merely | believes he is in love with sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, |
Tx:15.71 | himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the ego | believes that to forgive another is to lose him. For it is only by |
Tx:16.72 | escape from the past, it sees itself deprived of the vengeance it | believes that you so justly merit. Yet without your alliance in your |
Tx:17.61 | again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of looking, for the ego | believes the situation brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows |
Tx:17.62 | give. Yet this is so only from the viewpoint of the ego, for the ego | believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation and does not |
Tx:18.51 | is never what the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind | believes the body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will |
Tx:18.52 | attack, but it can deceive itself. And this is all it does when it | believes it has attacked the body. It can project its guilt, but it |
Tx:18.57 | from himself except in illusions. This is not his reality, though he | believes it is. Yet this could only be if God were wrong. God would |
Tx:19.49 | not be afraid. Fear is attracted to what love sees not, and each | believes that what the other looks upon does not exist. Fear looks on |
Tx:19.110 | the journey was your choice. And no one undertakes to do what he | believes is meaningless. What you had faith in still is faithful and |
Tx:21.23 | to welcome it or not. Faith and desire go hand in hand, for everyone | believes in what he wants. |
Tx:21.31 | a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as long as he | believes he is in chains. And when he is released from them, it |
Tx:21.31 | he is released from them, it will be simply because he no longer | believes in them, withdrawing faith that they can hold him and |
Tx:21.38 | to use the body to carry out the means for sin in which the mind | believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable belief |
Tx:21.63 | if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a purpose and | believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. To see the |
Tx:21.71 | No one | believes the Son of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as |
Tx:21.74 | a target. There can be no faith in sin without an enemy. Who that | believes in sin would dare believe he has no enemy? Could he admit |
Tx:21.88 | ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his desire of something he | believes holds out some promise of the power of giving it. He may be |
Tx:22.21 | You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what you made | believes it is not so. Now must you choose between yourself and an |
Tx:22.51 | for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he will seek for it where he | believes it is and can be found. He will believe it possible of mind |
Tx:24.41 | effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the dream | believes that what he made is happening to him. He does not realize |
Tx:25.24 | world where this reflection is, is real at all. Only because His Son | believes it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let Himself be |
Tx:25.26 | God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of God | believes he has. Corrected error is the error's end. And thus has God |
Tx:25.52 | makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world | believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes no |
Tx:25.53 | in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any form of reason | believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the Father and |
Tx:26.21 | Nothing the Son of God | believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must be brought |
Tx:26.25 | into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has believed in sin and still | believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus becomes |
Tx:27.14 | of the guilt they overlook. Yet no one can forgive a sin which he | believes is real. And what has consequences must be real because |
Tx:27.81 | and dreaming in the world remembers his attack upon himself. No one | believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body and |
Tx:29.53 | to supply your lacks and add the value which you do not have. No one | believes in idols who has not enslaved himself to littleness and |
Tx:31.44 | at times with pity on the suffering and sometimes offers solace. It | believes that it is good within an evil world. |
Tx:31.56 | has always been the great preoccupation of the world. And everyone | believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself. |
W1:127.5 | the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the world | believes was made to hide love's meaning and to keep it dark and |
W1:130.1 | has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look upon what he | believes he wants. |

W1:139.6 | sad belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the world | believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where |
W1:159.1 | Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The world | believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation teaches |

Tx:1.10 | 10. The use of miracles as spectacles to induce belief is wrong, or | better, is a misunderstanding of their purpose. They are really used |
Tx:1.89 | lack by definition. It involves the recognition that you would be | better off in a state which is somehow different from the one you are |
Tx:1.90 | Until the “separation,” which is a | better term than the “fall,” nothing was lacking. This meant that man |
Tx:1.90 | body is the mechanism for behavior. The belief that he could be | better off is the reason why man has this mechanism at his disposal. |
Tx:2.34 | is that you can defend truth as well as error and, in fact, much | better. |
Tx:2.40 | Men can learn to improve their behavior and can also learn to become | better and better learners. This serves to bring them into closer and |
Tx:2.40 | to improve their behavior and can also learn to become better and | better learners. This serves to bring them into closer and closer |
Tx:2.48 | everyone begins to recognize, however dimly, that there must be a | better way. As this recognition becomes more firmly established, it |
Tx:2.60 | of the mind do not really exist. This recognition is a far | better protective device than any form of level confusion, because |
Tx:2.81 | willing and doing become discordant. This cannot be corrected by | better doing, but it can be corrected by higher willing. |
Tx:3.61 | be no more. This is symbolic only in the sense that everyone is much | better off without judgment. When the Bible says, “Judge not that |
Tx:4.19 | inherit the earth because their egos are humble, and this gives them | better perception. The Kingdom of Heaven is the right of the Soul, |
Tx:4.25 | relative perception as is physical interaction. There could be no | better example of the fact that the ego is an idea, though not a |
Tx:4.30 | give only because you believe that you are somehow getting something | better so that you can do without the thing you give. “Giving to get” |
Tx:5.11 | Holy Inspiration is so close to knowledge that it calls it forth; or | better, allows it to come. We have spoken before of the higher or the |
Tx:5.28 | the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. What | better vocation could there be for any part of the Kingdom than to |
Tx:5.55 | that he belongs to God as you do. How could you treat your brother | better than by rendering unto God the things which are God's? |
Tx:5.65 | We said before that illness is a form of magic. It might be | better to say that it is a form of magical solution. The ego believes |
Tx:5.83 | The idea of “set” is among the | better psychological concepts. Actually, it is used quite frequently |
Tx:5.87 | although Freud misinterpreted what the Holy Spirit told him, or | better, reminded him of, he was too honest to deny more than was |
Tx:5.90 | Do you really believe that you can plan for your safety and joy | better than He can? You need be neither careful nor careless; you |
Tx:6.3 | quite evident that you had already developed the ability to follow a | better model if you could accept it. |
Tx:6.28 | there is another use of projection. Every ability of the ego has a | better counterpart, because its abilities are directed by the mind |
Tx:6.28 | because its abilities are directed by the mind which has a | better Voice. The Holy Spirit as well as the ego utilizes projection, |
Tx:6.58 | How can you wake children | better and more kindly than by a gentle Voice that will not frighten |
Tx:7.22 | ability which was applied to the learning. You could not have a | better example of the Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. |
Tx:7.33 | therefore does not exist, but those who sleep are stupefied, or | better, unaware. [And because] they are unaware, they do not |
Tx:7.49 | voices, so you can see in two ways. One way shows you an image, or | better, an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you will |
Tx:7.73 | You cannot love this. Yet you can very easily escape from it or, | better, leave it behind. You are not there, and that is not you. |
Tx:7.102 | to you. You believe that doing the opposite of God's Will can be | better for you. You also believe that it is possible to do the |
Tx:9.66 | remember being awake. When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely feel | better because loving seems possible to you, but you do not |
Tx:10.17 | a lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it, the | better teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, |
Tx:10.17 | teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, what | better witnesses to its reality could you have than those who have |
Tx:11.13 | look upon love, which is the world's reality, how could you do | better than to recognize in every defense against it the underlying |
Tx:11.13 | against it the underlying appeal for it? And how could you | better learn of its reality than by answering the appeal for it by |
Tx:14.49 | to classifying some of your thoughts as more important, larger or | better, wiser or more productive and valuable than others. And this |
Tx:14.50 | examples to show you that your way of ordering is wrong, but that a | better way is offered you. |
Tx:16.11 | or looking away from the whole to what you think you might be | better able to understand. For this is but another way in which you |
Tx:16.11 | in which you would still try to keep understanding to yourself. A | better and far more helpful way to think of miracles is this: You |
Tx:16.17 | considering honestly what they have been? God wills you | better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom God loves |
Tx:16.48 | and the basis for the attempt at union rests on exclusion. What | better example could there be of the ego's maxim, “Seek but do not |
Tx:16.49 | value can he place upon a self that he would give away to get a | better one? |
Tx:17.39 | You who have tried so hard and are still trying to fit the | better picture into the wrong frame and so combine what cannot be |
Tx:18.15 | are a way of looking at the world and changing it to suit the ego | better. They provide striking examples both of the ego's inability to |
Tx:19.24 | Perhaps you would be tempted to agree with the ego that it is far | better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you carefully before you |
Tx:19.57 | cannot keep us apart? Mine was no greater value than yours; no | better means for communication of salvation, but not its Source. No |
Tx:19.83 | through your acceptance the power to release from corruption. What | better way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a course |
Tx:20.46 | Nothing can show the contrast | better than the experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship. |
Tx:20.70 | What can you value more than this? Why do you think the body is a | better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you rather look |
Tx:20.76 | the world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw within; or | better, if you saw at all or merely judged against. Vision is the |
Tx:21.24 | is how the ego deals with what it wants to make it so. There is no | better demonstration of the power of wanting, and therefore of faith, |
Tx:24.9 | each other only partial welcome or would let you think that you are | better off apart. Is it not always your belief your specialness is |
Tx:24.65 | show, as bait to catch another fish, to house your specialness in | better style or weave a frame of loveliness around your hate, and you |
Tx:25.13 | this respect is hardly worth delaying change that might result in | better outcome? For one thing is sure—the way you see, and long |
Tx:25.36 | thoughts that entered it and were mistaken for a little while. How | better could your own mistakes be brought to truth than by your |
Tx:25.44 | and the clarity it brings to what they look upon. Dimness seems | better—easier to see and better recognized. Somehow, the vague and |

Tx:30.21 | right. But this much reason have you now attained—you would be | better off if you were wrong. |

Tx:15.35 | This course is not | beyond immediate learning unless you prefer to believe that what |
Tx:15.35 | is lost to you. You must decide on when it is. Delay it not. For | beyond the past and future, in which you will not find it, it stands |
Tx:15.65 | Beyond the poor attraction of the special love relationship and | |
Tx:15.79 | leave you as your Teacher until the holy instant has extended far | beyond time. For a teaching assignment such as His, He must use |
Tx:15.81 | more than a mistake in who you are. For the holy host of God is | beyond failure, and nothing that he wills can be denied. You are |
Tx:15.82 | are with the universe. And this universe, being of God, is far | beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies you perceive. For |
Tx:16.10 | do not understand. Nor do you do them. It is their extension, far | beyond the limits you perceive, that demonstrates you did not do |
Tx:16.21 | knew, you will be compelled to recognize that your Teacher came from | beyond your thought system and so could look upon it fairly and |
Tx:16.26 | You are not two selves in conflict. What is | beyond God? If you who hold Him and whom He holds are the universe, |
Tx:16.26 | is. You have taught this, and from far off in the universe, yet not | beyond yourself, the witnesses to your teaching have gathered to help |

Tx:17.70 | so great it reaches past the stars and to the universe that lies | beyond them, your little faithlessness can make it useless if you |
Tx:17.79 | Give as you have received. And demonstrate that you have risen far | beyond any situation that could hold you back and keep you separate |

Tx:18.92 | light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon the world | beyond them, still further from the light. Yet from them to the |

Tx:18.95 | This course will lead to knowledge, but knowledge itself is still | beyond the scope of our curriculum. Nor is there any need for us to |
Tx:18.95 | is there any need for us to try to speak of what must forever lie | beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real |
Tx:18.95 | words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real world, | beyond which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a |
Tx:18.95 | attains the real world, beyond which learning cannot go, will go | beyond it but in a different way. Where learning ends there God |
Tx:18.97 | in which you were united is but the messenger of love, sent from | beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that lies beyond it. Yet it |
Tx:18.97 | of love, sent from beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that lies | beyond it. Yet it is through forgiveness that it will be remembered. |
Tx:19.9 | withholding faith, you see what is unworthy of it and cannot look | beyond the barrier to what is joined with you. |
Tx:19.13 | body, but to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly | beyond the body and sees the holy place where it was healed. There |
Tx:19.33 | If sin were real, it would forever be | beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power beyond God's, |
Tx:19.33 | forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power | beyond God's, capable of making another will which could attack His |
Tx:19.58 | for it. Communion is another kind of completion which goes | beyond guilt because it goes beyond the body. |
Tx:19.58 | another kind of completion which goes beyond guilt because it goes | beyond the body. |
Tx:19.61 | idea that love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far | beyond the body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and be at |
Tx:19.90 | and of the universe of universes and of everything that lies even | beyond them would you remember. And as this memory rises in your |
Tx:19.91 | like a heavy veil before the face of Christ. Yet as His face rises | beyond it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's Love, peace |
Tx:19.91 | with glory appear as streams of blood, fades in the blazing light | beyond it when the fear of death is gone. |
Tx:19.92 | This is the secret bargain made with the ego to keep what lies | beyond the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is your |
Tx:19.94 | is lost forever as love's attraction stirs and calls to you. From | beyond each of the obstacles to love, Love Itself has called, and |
Tx:19.94 | each has been surmounted by the power of the attraction of what lies | beyond. Your wanting fear seemed to be holding them in place. Yet |
Tx:19.94 | to be holding them in place. Yet when you heard the voice of love | beyond them, you answered and they disappeared. |
Tx:19.96 | and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things | beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that come to you |
Tx:19.96 | death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from | beyond the veil is also deep within you, unseparated from it and |
Tx:19.97 | It does not open up its secrets and bid you look on them and go | beyond them. It would not have you see its weakness and learn it |
Tx:19.108 | Together we will disappear into the Presence | beyond the veil, not to be lost, but found; not to be seen, but |
Tx:19.110 | the long journey through this world whatever meaning lies in them. | Beyond this they are meaningless. You stand together, still without |
Tx:20.3 | of crucifixion and delay him there. Help him to go in peace | beyond it, with the light of his own innocence lighting his way to |
Tx:20.11 | and crown him king of death. Your chosen home is on the other side, | beyond the veil. It has been carefully prepared for you, and it is |
Tx:20.13 | new vision that looks upon the lilies and brings you joy. We go | beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's way. The holiness that |
Tx:20.14 | and his strong arm is free to guide you safely through them and | beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from illusions |
Tx:20.38 | sings of the end of sin and fear. Each speaks in time of what is far | beyond it. Two voices raised together call to the hearts of everyone |
Tx:20.39 | that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so far | beyond your judgment you cannot even see it? Judge not what is |
Tx:21.10 | Beyond the body, beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see | |
Tx:21.10 | Beyond the body, | beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see and yet somehow |
Tx:21.22 | is to make room for truth. You are not asked to make or do what lies | beyond your understanding. All you are asked to do is let it in; |
Tx:21.36 | their brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far | beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first |
Tx:21.40 | past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs | beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to body. |
Tx:21.50 | unreality. You will believe that you are helpless prey to forces far | beyond your own control and far more powerful than you. And you will |
Tx:21.55 | and redirected from the goal of sin as are the others. For reason is | beyond the ego's range of means. |
Tx:21.57 | gained a means which cannot be applied to sin. Knowledge is far | beyond attainment of any kind. But reason can serve to open doors you |
Tx:21.58 | And in this change is room made way for vision. Vision extends | beyond itself, as does the purpose which it serves and all the means |
Tx:22.4 | It must extend, as you extended when you joined. It must reach out | beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body to let yourselves |
Tx:22.4 | when you joined. It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out | beyond the body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness |
Tx:22.23 | bless. Whose function is to save will save. How he will do it is | beyond your understanding, but when must be your choice. For time |
Tx:22.27 | Beyond the bodies that you interposed between you and shining in the | |
Tx:22.27 | beloved of God Himself. How still it rests, in time and yet | beyond, immortal yet on earth. How great the power that lies in it. |
Tx:22.28 | who is but willing to see his brother sinless. And no one can remain | beyond this willingness if you would be released entirely from all |
Tx:22.33 | prevent correction. The body's eyes see only form. They cannot see | beyond what they were made to see. And they were made to look on |
Tx:22.33 | strange perception, for they can see only illusions, unable to look | beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside form of |
Tx:22.34 | seeing. See how the body's eyes rest on externals and cannot go | beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the |
Tx:22.34 | cannot go beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go | beyond the form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as perception of |
Tx:22.35 | are seeing what can not be real as if it were. What cannot see | beyond what is not there must be distorted perception and must |
Tx:22.36 | what you associate with his body, which you believe can sin? | Beyond his errors is his holiness and your salvation. You gave |
Tx:22.41 | the Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw | beyond the veil which you will bring to light the tired eyes of those |
Tx:22.49 | be long defended from what is quietly passed through and gone | beyond? |
Tx:23.4 | distractions, lay Heaven aside? Your destiny and purpose are far | beyond them in the clean place where littleness does not exist. Your |
Tx:23.13 | Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far | beyond their little reach. You will remember what you know when you |
Tx:23.18 | obscured in minds that have become illusion's battleground. Yet far | beyond this senseless war it shines, ready to be remembered when you |
Tx:23.19 | and to truth. Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may look | beyond them, understanding what they are, not what they would |
Tx:23.19 | govern nothing and need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone | beyond. |
Tx:23.22 | For the destruction of the one who makes the error places him | beyond correction and beyond forgiveness. What he has done is thus |
Tx:23.22 | of the one who makes the error places him beyond correction and | beyond forgiveness. What he has done is thus interpreted as an |
Tx:23.25 | and justified in its attack. And now is conflict made inevitable and | beyond the help of God. And now salvation must remain impossible |
Tx:23.37 | only the conflict of illusions stands; senseless, impossible, and | beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven. |
Tx:24.39 | dream in which God is bereft of what He loves and you remain | beyond salvation. Only this is certain in this shifting world which |
Tx:24.52 | not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you to be | beyond its laws in all respects, in every way, and every |
Tx:24.59 | self-maintained, in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything | beyond the body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all |
Tx:24.71 | body made a theory of yourself with no provisions made for evidence | beyond itself and no escape within its sight. Its course is sure when |
Tx:25.10 | to the truth, taking all false ideas of what you are and leading you | beyond them to the truth that is beyond them. All this can very |
Tx:25.10 | of what you are and leading you beyond them to the truth that is | beyond them. All this can very simply be reduced to this: |
Tx:25.27 | remains an instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged | beyond the pitiful attempts of specialness to put it out of mind |
Tx:25.30 | change made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far | beyond the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot encroach, |
Tx:25.32 | the aim is seen that makes the choice of means inevitable and | beyond the hope of change unless the aim is changed. And then the |
Tx:25.36 | nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time. Nothing | beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you bring to |
Tx:25.36 | your willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk | beyond the world of darkness into light? |
Tx:25.55 | insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look | beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a world |
Tx:26.1 | Look at the world, and you will see nothing attached to anything | beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a little nearer or go a |
Tx:26.8 | same forever—born again each instant, untouched by time, and far | beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For neither did |
Tx:26.17 | be as He created it. Nothing He loves but must be sinless and | beyond attack. Your special function opens wide the door beyond which |
Tx:26.17 | sinless and beyond attack. Your special function opens wide the door | beyond which is the memory of His love kept perfectly intact and |
Tx:26.19 | Yet is this magnitude | beyond the scope of this curriculum. Nor is it necessary we dwell on |
Tx:26.19 | truth where they are judged to be untrue. This borderland is just | beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and wholly |
Tx:26.22 | difference is the learning goal this course has set. It will not go | beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the same and |
Tx:26.25 | world of sin into a simple world where justice can be reflected from | beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits lies. Nothing in |
Tx:26.27 | for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above the world and reach | beyond the universe to touch the heart of all creation? What is |
Tx:26.52 | Sin is not error, for it goes | beyond correction to impossibility. Yet the belief that it is real |
Tx:26.54 | because it still conceives of other choices and has not yet reached | beyond the world of choice entirely. |
Tx:26.59 | why. Effects are seen as separate from their source and seem to be | beyond you to control or to prevent. What is thus kept apart can |
Tx:26.68 | one illusion which takes different forms. If it has been projected | beyond your minds, you think of it as time. The nearer it is brought |
Tx:27.3 | to hell. Yet this is writ in hell and not in Heaven, where you are | beyond attack and prove his innocence. The picture of yourself you |
Tx:27.4 | The power of witness is | beyond belief because it brings conviction in its wake. The witness |
Tx:27.4 | conviction in its wake. The witness is believed because he points | beyond himself to what he represents. A sick and suffering you but |
Tx:27.5 | witnesses to the eternal truth that you cannot be hurt and points | beyond itself to both your innocence and his. |
Tx:27.6 | he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look | beyond it to the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is the proof |
Tx:27.16 | justified unless his sins have no effect to warrant guilt? Sins are | beyond forgiveness just because they would entail effects which |
Tx:27.18 | before the ancient clarion call of life. This call has power far | beyond the weak and miserable cry of death and guilt. The ancient |
Tx:27.32 | what creation is. For this there are no symbols. Nothing points | beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than everything? Yet |
Tx:27.33 | and learning done. No learning aid has use which can extend | beyond the goal of learning. When its aim has been accomplished, it |
Tx:27.35 | nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power | beyond forgiveness and beyond the world of symbols and of |
Tx:27.35 | kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power beyond forgiveness and | beyond the world of symbols and of limitations. He would merely be, |
Tx:27.48 | instant's radiance will light your eyes and give them sight to see | beyond all suffering and see Christ's face instead. Healing |
Tx:27.52 | first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and | beyond each one there are a thousand more. Each one may seem to have |
Tx:27.64 | world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there is no need to go | beyond the obvious in terms of cause. |
Tx:27.66 | which then bear witness to the cause and not themselves. Look, then, | beyond effects. It is not here the cause of suffering and sin must |
Tx:28.14 | a different past or future. Its effects are changelessly eternal, | beyond fear, and past the world of sin entirely. |
Tx:28.15 | flow across it, making it a bridge an instant will suffice to reach | beyond? For God has closed it with Himself. His memory has not gone |
Tx:28.28 | What waits in perfect certainty | beyond salvation is not our concern. For you have barely started to |
Tx:29.20 | Condemn your savior not because he thinks he is a body. For | beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior |
Tx:29.35 | If you but knew the glorious goal that lies | beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought, however |
Tx:29.37 | aside from dreaming of a world outside yourself. And leading finally | beyond all dreams unto the peace of everlasting life. |
Tx:29.45 | illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek | beyond them for a thousand more. And each will fail him, all |
Tx:29.53 | has not enslaved himself to littleness and loss. And thus must seek | beyond his little self for strength to raise his head and stand apart |
Tx:29.57 | —the strange idea there is a power past omnipotence, a place | beyond the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the world |
Tx:29.58 | separated off from what is endless, has no place to be. An idol is | beyond where God has set all things forever and has left no room for |
Tx:30.40 | you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not look | beyond it to the source of the belief that you are incomplete. |
Tx:30.42 | the function of God's Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. | Beyond all idols stands his holy will to be but what he is. For more |
Tx:30.45 | The Thoughts of God are far | beyond all change and shine forever. They await not birth. They wait |
Tx:30.47 | Beyond all idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely | |
Tx:30.49 | you attack them for the things you think they represent. What lies | beyond them cannot be attacked. |
Tx:30.54 | And you can make a simple choice that will forever place you far | beyond deception. You need not concern yourself with how this will be |
Tx:30.59 | of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will go | beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made perfect in |
Tx:30.63 | is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His Son has reached | beyond forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ |
Tx:30.74 | were, it would be necessary first there be some sin which stands | beyond forgiveness. There would be an error that is more than a |
Tx:30.74 | —a special form of error which remains unchangeable, eternal, and | beyond correction or escape. There would be one mistake which had the |
Tx:30.89 | is changeless. It does not deceive at all, and if you fail to see | beyond appearances, you are deceived. For everything you see will |
Tx:30.90 | showing they can change. Your brother has a changelessness in him | beyond appearance and deception both. It is obscured by changing |
Tx:30.92 | at all. The cost of the belief there must be some appearances | beyond the hope of change is that the miracle cannot come forth from |
Tx:31.6 | will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and far | beyond all doubt and question? Can it be your little learning, |
Tx:31.10 | love restore the dying world! You do not understand Who calls to you | beyond each form of hate, each call to war. Yet you will recognize |
Tx:31.11 | for this within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call | beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will |
Tx:31.35 | have learned their greatest lesson. All must reach this point and go | beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all within the |
Tx:31.36 | your learning now, and understand you but waste time unless you go | beyond what you have learned to what is yet to learn. For from this |
Tx:31.50 | you will choose to follow this world's laws and never seek to go | beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must the |
Tx:31.70 | will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the world | beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you will |
Tx:31.74 | from everything you see. At most, you glimpse a shadow of what lies | beyond. At least, you merely look on darkness and perceive the |
Tx:31.80 | face of Christ to shine upon the one who asks in innocence to see | beyond the veil of old ideas and ancient concepts held so long and |
Tx:31.96 | and who looks with fixed determination toward the light that shines | beyond in perfect constancy. Give me my own, for they belong to You. |
W1:4.2 | The “good” ones of which you are aware are but shadows of what lies | beyond, and shadows make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks |
W1:14.3 | you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You will go far | beyond it. Our direction is toward perfect safety and perfect peace. |
W1:29.3 | is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy purpose stands | beyond your little range. When vision has shown you the holiness that |
W1:30.4 | To help you begin to get used to this idea, try to think of things | beyond your present range as well as those you can actually see, as |

W1:49.4 | eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you | beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and sights of this |
W1:56.5 | I have drawn across the face of love, its light remains undimmed. | Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united with the Will of my |
W1:56.5 | of Him will yet look past all appearances and recognize the truth | beyond them all. |
W1:59.4 | I can see what God wants me to see. I cannot see anything else. | Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I think |
W1:61.9 | Today's idea goes far | beyond the ego's petty views of what you are and what your purpose |
W1:66.4 | it appears to be different. Today's exercises are an attempt to go | beyond these differences in appearance, and recognize a common |
W1:70.12 | for it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the light | beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds before |
W1:73.6 | it is not so. You cannot want this for yourself. There is a point | beyond which illusions cannot go. |
W1:78.1 | as you raise it up before your eyes, you will not see the miracle | beyond. Yet all the while it waits for you in light, but you behold |
W1:78.2 | Today we go | beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. We will |
W1:78.10 | of him who grieved you, let your mind be shown the light in him | beyond your grievances. What you have asked for cannot be denied. |
W1:R2.3 | all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you through and carry you | beyond them all. |
W1:85.5 | found outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach | beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines |
W1:89.2 | of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles | beyond. Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to |
W1:92.4 | past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that lies | beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a part. It sees |
W1:98.8 | you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go | beyond their sound to what they really mean. Today you practice with |
W1:107.6 | and love which does not falter in the face of pain but looks | beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the |
W1:107.6 | can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth stands far | beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them to turn them into |
W1:109.2 | has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees | beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything |
W1:122.5 | before you, like an open door with warmth and welcome calling from | beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and make yourself at home |
W1:122.6 | that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, | beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the complexities the world has |
W1:127.6 | today, you have advanced in distance without measure and in time | beyond the count of years to your release. |
W1:128.1 | this thought as true, if he would leave this world behind and soar | beyond its petty scope and little ways. |
W1:128.5 | lift the chains which bar the door to freedom from the world and go | beyond all little values and diminished goals. |
W1:129.10 | lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest | beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. |
W1:129.12 | The world I see has nothing that I want. | Beyond this world there is a world I want. |
W1:130.5 | the other disappears. But one remains. They are the range of choice | beyond which your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all |
W1:130.7 | minutes to the thought which ends all compromise and doubt and go | beyond them all as one. We will not make a thousand meaningless |
W1:130.8 | Begin your searching for the other world by asking for a strength | beyond your own, and recognize what it is you seek. You do not want |
W1:131.4 | to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that lies | beyond the world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you |
W1:131.9 | He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is present now | beyond the reach of time. |
W1:131.14 | in your mind which you could not completely lock to hide what lies | beyond. |
W1:131.16 | and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go | beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes and |
W1:131.17 | and all the seeking of the world, which ends together as you pass | beyond the door. |
W1:134.10 | and the truth, between the world you see and that which lies | beyond, between the hell of guilt and Heaven's gate. |
W1:135.7 | the body all the functions that you see in it and set its value far | beyond a little pile of dust and water. Who would make defense of |
W1:135.8 | not abuse it by assigning it to roles it cannot fill, to purposes | beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish. |
W1:136.4 | made it, so it seems to be external to your own intent—a happening | beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a real effect on you |
W1:136.5 | you play in making your “reality” which makes defenses seem to be | beyond your own control. But what you have forgot can be remembered, |
W1:136.9 | and the strange, haunting thought that you might be something | beyond this little pile of dust silenced and stilled. For see, this |
W1:136.15 | Truth has a power far | beyond defense, for no illusions can remain where it has been allowed |
W1:138.5 | lies, and as it is accepted, it is known. But knowledge is | beyond the goals we seek to teach within the framework of this |
W1:139.7 | is set forever in the holy Mind of God and in your own. It is so far | beyond all doubt and question that to ask what it must be is all the |
W1:140.9 | We will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go | beyond appearances today and reach the source of healing from which |
W1:145.1 | [129] | Beyond this world there is a world I want. |
W1:151.10 | disaster, suffering, and loss. He gives you vision which can look | beyond these grim appearances and can behold the gentle face of |
W1:151.11 | of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you will see the love | beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure in sin, and only |
W1:151.12 | for your life is not a part of anything you see. It stands | beyond the body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, |
W1:153.4 | in a form so grim that hope of sanity seems but to be an idle dream, | beyond the possible. The sense of threat the world encourages is so |
W1:153.4 | sense of threat the world encourages is so much deeper and so far | beyond the frenzy and intensity of which you can conceive that you |
W1:154.1 | Let us today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone | beyond such foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor need we do |
W1:154.12 | a thousand more but will not know that God Himself has left no gift | beyond what you already have nor has denied the tiniest of blessings |
W1:155.3 | need a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can look | beyond illusion to the simple truth in them. |
W1:157.2 | it can possibly attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go | beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal. |
W1:158.6 | Experience, unlearned, untaught, unseen, is merely there. This is | beyond our goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished. Our |
W1:158.7 | body and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light | beyond the body, an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity |
W1:158.7 | Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an idea | beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful |
W1:158.9 | they merely disappear because a vision of the holiness which lies | beyond them comes to take their place. It matters not what form they |
W1:159.3 | Christ's vision is a miracle. It comes from far | beyond itself, for it reflects eternal love and the rebirth of love |
W1:159.5 | at times forgot, and never able to obscure the light that shines | beyond them. Holiness has been restored to vision, and the blind can |
W1:161.6 | easily become fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to look | beyond the body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's “enemy” |
W1:162.4 | simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need no thoughts | beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. So wholly |
W1:163.8 | take today. And it is given us to look past death and see the life | beyond. |
W1:164.1 | the senseless busy world engenders, yet He hears them faintly, for | beyond them all He hears the song of Heaven and the Voice of God more |
W1:164.2 | easily away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far | beyond the world increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient |
W1:164.3 | the call He hears. How quiet is the time you give to spend with Him | beyond the world. How easily are all your seeming sins forgot and all |
W1:164.5 | the day when vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what lies | beyond them. Now is what is really there made visible, while all the |
W1:164.6 | this day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far | beyond all things within the world, looks back on them in a new |
W1:164.7 | judge today. We will receive but what is given us from judgment made | beyond the world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of |
W1:165.1 | this world seem real except your own denial of the truth which lies | beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the |
W1:165.7 | in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies | beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear. The |
W1:165.7 | we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains | beyond our every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams |
W1:165.7 | His love remains beyond our every fear. The thought of Him is still | beyond all dreams and in our minds according to His Will. |
W1:167.5 | can extend all that their source contains. In that they can go far | beyond themselves. But they cannot give birth to what was never given |
W1:169.1 | of truth. It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads | beyond the world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of |
W1:169.3 | Grace is not learned. The final step must go | beyond all learning. Grace is not the goal this course aspires to |
W1:169.6 | present, where the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies | beyond salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the |
W1:169.7 | This is | beyond experience we try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and |
W1:169.9 | Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of things | beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is past |
W1:169.13 | it offers everyone. We do not ask for the unaskable. We do not look | beyond what grace can give. For this we can give in the grace that |
W1:170.10 | with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, fearful and | beyond surmounting, is the fear of God Himself. Here is the basic |
W1:170.11 | the fire comes from Him. And He is terrible above all else, cruel | beyond conception, striking down all who acknowledge Him to be their |
W1:R5.15 | here conviction lies. We use the words, and try and try again to go | beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond their sound. The |
W1:R5.15 | try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far | beyond their sound. The sound grows dim and disappears as we approach |
W1:I2.3 | And so we start our journey | beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes our progress |
W1:I2.3 | first on what impedes our progress still. Experience of what exists | beyond defensiveness remains beyond achievement while it is denied. |
W1:I2.3 | still. Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness remains | beyond achievement while it is denied. It may be there, but you |
W1:181.1 | he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not look | beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to |
W1:181.1 | magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies | beyond your own mistakes and past his seeming sins as well as yours. |
W1:181.2 | you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies | beyond. |
W1:181.9 | For what we seek to look upon is really there. And as our focus goes | beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing |
W1:182.8 | you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, | beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that |
W1:184.8 | the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is | beyond your naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to his body |
W1:184.9 | It would indeed be strange if you were asked to go | beyond all symbols of the world, forgetting them forever; yet were |
W1:184.14 | disappear which kept us blind. And we are given strength to see | beyond them. Now our sight is blessed with blessings we can give as |
W1:185.5 | He has looked on them and found them wanting. Now he seeks to go | beyond them, recognizing that another dream would offer nothing more |
W1:185.14 | the need of every heart, the call of every mind, the hope that lies | beyond despair, the love attack would hide, the brotherhood that hate |
W1:186.5 | sure that it is so. The arrogant must cling to words, afraid to go | beyond them to experience which might affront their stance. Yet are |
W1:186.6 | you that you have the strength, the wisdom, and the holiness to go | beyond all images. You are not weak, as is the image of yourself. You |
W1:188.4 | the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates with gifts | beyond all measure, given and returned. To you, the giver of the |
W1:190.5 | to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. There is no cause | beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. No one but |
W1:192.1 | in the world in its own terms. For who can understand a language far | beyond his simple grasp? |
W1:196.12 | that does not go with you to help you reach that instant and to go | beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the fear of God is gone, |
W1:199.2 | mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, | beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and |
W1:200.8 | leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way | beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless |
W1:R6.5 | in between we have a function that transcends the world we see. | Beyond this and a repetition of the special thought we practice for |
W1:R6.6 | We will attempt to get | beyond all words and special forms of practicing for this review. For |
W1:R6.10 | the idea for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought. | Beyond such special applications of each day's idea, we will add but |
W2:I.6 | of thanks from us, as through Christ's vision we behold a world | beyond the one we made and take that world to be the full replacement |
W2:230.2 | be here now, for my creation was apart from time and still remains | beyond all change. The peace in which Your Son was born into Your |
W2:243.1 | myself today. I will not think that I already know what must remain | beyond my present grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from |
W2:252.1 | My Self is holy | beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. Its |
W2:252.1 | move the world but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far | beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close |
W2:264.1 | This, and nothing is that does not share Its holiness, that stands | beyond Your one creation or without the Love Which holds all things |
W2:269.1 | You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes and look | beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception through the |
W2:277.2 | God. He is not bound except by his beliefs. Yet what he is, is far | beyond his faith in slavery or freedom. He is free, because he is his |
W2:WIHS.2 | it to the outcome He perceives for it, becomes the means to go | beyond itself, to be replaced by the Eternal Truth. |
W2:281.2 | I will not hurt myself today. For I am far | beyond all pain. My Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over |
W2:284.1 | truth. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go | beyond these words today, go past all reservations, and arrive at |
W2:299.1 | My holiness is far | beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God my Father, Who |
W2:300.2 | give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. We would go | beyond that tiny instant to eternity. |
W2:WISC.3 | in which learning ends in one last summary that will extend | beyond itself and reaches up to God. The Second Coming is the time in |
W2:315.1 | moment. I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far | beyond all things of which I can conceive. A brother smiles upon |
W2:WICR.3 | is forever guaranteed inviolate, forever held within His holy will | beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection, and of |
W2:WIE.2 | The ego is insane. In fear it stands | beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the |
W2:335.1 | is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far | beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see |
W2:336.1 | and sounds at best can serve but to recall the memory that lies | beyond them all. Forgiveness sweeps away distortions and opens the |
W2:WIM.1 | what it sees is false. It undoes error but does not attempt to go | beyond perception nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it |
W2:342.1 | unreality to me. The key is in my hand, and I have reached the door | beyond which lies the end of dreams. I stand before the gate of |
W2:344.1 | can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts | beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven brothers fill |
W2:354.1 | My oneness with the Christ establishes me as Your Son, | beyond the reach of time and wholly free of every law but Yours. I |
W2:FL.1 | beginning of our practicing and only to remind us that we seek to go | beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our |
W2:FL.1 | attacking and destroying, dangerous in all its ways, and treacherous | beyond the hope of trust and the escape from pain. |
M:2.4 | Time really, then, goes backward to an instant so ancient that it is | beyond all memory and past even the possibility of remembering. Yet |
M:4.12 | the world and all things in it, for the unchanging and unchangeable | beyond appearances, and for the Son of God and his Creator. How could |
M:4.24 | the final goal of the curriculum. It paves the way for what goes far | beyond all learning. The curriculum makes no effort to exceed its |
M:4.25 | They would be most inappropriate here. What God has given is so far | beyond our curriculum that learning but disappears in its presence. |
M:12.6 | And it is this God's teachers acknowledge as behind the dream, | beyond all seeing and yet surely theirs. |
M:13.7 | The Word of God has no exceptions. It is this that makes it holy and | beyond the world. It is its holiness that points to God. It is its |
M:14.4 | be grasped by those not yet prepared to leave the world and go | beyond its tiny reach. What, then, is the function of the teacher of |

M:17.7 | pursues His guilty Son. Kill or be killed, for here alone is choice. | Beyond this there is none, for what was done cannot be done without. |

C:21.2 | has to do with mass, substance, form. Your being is far | beyond your imagined reliance on the particular. The particular is |

T2:10.8 | Just | beyond your mind's ability to call it forth lies the truth that you |

T2:12.6 | goal in relation to the miracle is the same—it is one of going | beyond belief in the miracle to simply knowing. Knowing is knowing |
T2:13.5 | of the state of grace in which you exist here and remain forever | beyond all time and the passing of all form. It is an attitude of |

T3:9.3 | doors of this house of illusion and finding a completely new reality | beyond its walls. You might think, at first, that you are in a place |
T3:9.4 | contains everything within its benevolent embrace. No one stands | beyond the embrace of love and you will be glad to see that those who |
T3:9.5 | you, is past. Many remain to shake the walls of illusion. Few stand | beyond it to beckon to those within. |
T3:9.6 | The paradise that is the truth seems to lie far | beyond the house of illusion in the valley of death. Survivors of |
T3:9.6 | long for life after death rather than life. You who have followed me | beyond the walls of the house of illusion are now called to begin the |

Tx:10.35 | If your brothers are part of you and you | blame them for your deprivation, you are blaming yourself. And |
Tx:10.35 | for your deprivation, you are blaming yourself. And you cannot | blame yourself without blaming them. That is why blame must be |

Tx:16.71 | past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do not seek to lay the | blame for deprivation on it, for the past is gone. You cannot really |
Tx:17.50 | work in it to make it holy. You will find many opportunities to | blame each other for the “failure” of your relationship, for it will |
Tx:17.53 | the light of the mistakes? You are now entering upon a campaign to | blame each other for the discomfort of the situation in which you |

C:9.30 | similar to what you have attempted to do and it is like placing the | blame for a car accident on the automobile. You have attempted to |
C:9.45 | force of such abuse is easily apparent. Again you would place the | blame outside yourself and label drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, |
C:9.45 | and even food as destructive forces. Like the automobile you would | blame for an accident, user and usee have become confused. All such |
C:9.46 | much as you have desired anonymity and autonomy from God, still you | blame God for creating a situation in which you think you have been |
C:11.9 | your own. You think you can be grateful to Him for some things and | blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this God you think you know has |
C:19.23 | you have covered a million times, seeing causes for recriminations, | blame, and guilt. Looking back in judgment is not what is required |
C:19.24 | undesirable to you. The concept that in oneness there is no need for | blame or guilt or even for redemption is inconceivable to the |
T1:4.14 | ego-mind. Is this not the kind of thinking that has caused you to | blame God for what you have labeled “bad” as well as to praise God |
T3:3.5 | reflected this hatred of the self and that functioned on finding | blame for every misfortune. Your illnesses became the result of |
T3:3.5 | smoking to too little exercise. Your accidents caused lawsuits where | blame could be rightly placed. Your depression was blamed on the |
T3:4.1 | these tenets you can become good. It gives no credence and no | blame to any past cause for your depression, anxiety, meanness, |
T3:6.4 | the idea of a self the ego is not. Thus has the ego had a self to | blame for everything, including your very existence. This blame is as |
T3:6.4 | a self to blame for everything, including your very existence. This | blame is as old as time itself and the cause of bitterness being able |
T3:8.6 | Who then are you to be angry with for all that has occurred? Do you | blame yourself and your ancestors for the history, both ancient and |
T3:8.6 | would have given anything to change? Do you look upon the ill and | blame them for their illness? Do you not look upon all suffering and |
T3:8.6 | to relieve it? And do you not thus attempt to see it not and then | blame yourself for looking the other way? |
T3:10.3 | first thing I ask you to forget is your need to find a place where | blame can be placed. You who have been waiting to get to the “hard |
T3:10.3 | get to the “hard part” of this Course may find it here. The idea of | blame is incongruous with the idea of a benevolent Creator and a |
T3:10.3 | and a benevolent creation and as such is the only blasphemy. To | blame yourself is as senseless as blaming others and your inclination |
T3:10.3 | is as senseless as blaming others and your inclination to place | blame upon yourself must be given up as well. When it is said that |
T3:10.3 | it is said that you are the cause it is not meant that you are to | blame for anything. Although many a child has been blamed for his or |
T3:10.3 | many a child has been blamed for his or her failure to learn, | blame of yourself is as uncalled for as is blaming a child for |
T3:10.4 | Taking away the idea of placing | blame will change your thought processes beyond your wildest |
T3:10.4 | imagining. You will be surprised at how many times you recognize | blame where before you saw it not, just as in the beginning you did |
T3:10.4 | been able to bring those concerns to love, you can now do so with | blame. All you need do is catch yourself in the act of placing blame |
T3:10.4 | with blame. All you need do is catch yourself in the act of placing | blame and say to yourself, “I was placing blame again and I choose to |
T3:10.4 | in the act of placing blame and say to yourself, “I was placing | blame again and I choose to do so no longer.” You need not spend any |
T3:10.4 | I choose to do so no longer.” You need not spend any more time with | blame than this and I offer you no word or sentiment to replace it. I |
T3:10.5 | this easier if a replacement were offered, for ridding your mind of | blame will leave an empty space you will long to fill. This act of |
T3:10.5 | you will long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to place | blame will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would attach to |
T3:10.5 | behaviors that you had no realization were birthed from the idea of | blame. Although I offer it not as a replacement, what you will find |
T3:10.5 | not as a replacement, what you will find will come in the place of | blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is needed now. |
T3:10.8 | reactions to people and situations and much like forgetting to place | blame. |
T3:14.2 | all ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all ideas of | blame into ideas of benevolence. Thus you might, after this period of |
T3:14.2 | A “god” outside of the self would soon be called upon to intercede. | Blame would be placed. A return to equanimity would soon prevail, for |
T3:14.10 | of yourself behind, no matter what it is you feel you have need to | blame yourself for. You would not be here if you had not already felt |
T3:14.11 | We have spoken already of historical causes for vengeance and | blame. The suffering that has been chosen has been mighty. The choice |
T3:14.11 | for all time. If you are holding onto regrets you are holding on to | blame. If you are holding onto blame you are holding onto bitterness. |
T3:14.11 | onto regrets you are holding on to blame. If you are holding onto | blame you are holding onto bitterness. If these regrets and blame |
T3:14.11 | onto blame you are holding onto bitterness. If these regrets and | blame have to do with yourself you may not feel as if you have the |
T3:14.11 | “less” rather than selfish now and allow the self that you would | blame to pass away into the illusion from which it came. Remember |
T3:14.13 | point for the future. Just as we talked of the consequences of | blame and how you are unaware of all that proceeds from the idea of |
T3:14.13 | blame and how you are unaware of all that proceeds from the idea of | blame, so too is it with the past. Like a story yet to be written, |
T3:19.5 | and in the acting out cause harm to other bodies, is the cause for | blame and fear of the body. So too is it with actions linked with |
T3:19.12 | These lessons could not be taught while | blame remained within your thought system. No victim is to blame for |

T3:19.12 | is to blame for the violence done to them. No sick person is to | blame for the illness within them. But you must be able to look at |
T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” all notions of | blame must be gone from you. Thus, you are asked not to look back |
T4:1.16 | must be gone from you. Thus, you are asked not to look back with | blame, for no such cause for blame exists. No cause to look back |
T4:1.16 | you are asked not to look back with blame, for no such cause for | blame exists. No cause to look back exists at all, for the truth |
D:6.21 | for the present. And yet, what ridding your mind of ideas of placing | blame does, is take it one step away from the thinking of the “if |
D:Day16.4 | into the spacious Self. Rejected feelings are those for which you | blame yourself. Sickness is the form of manifestation of rejected |

Tx:6.48 | something alien to itself in your mind, the ego turns to the | body, not the mind, as its ally, because the body is not part of |
Tx:6.48 | the ego turns to the body, not the mind, as its ally, because the | body is not part of you. This makes the body the ego's friend. It |
Tx:6.48 | as its ally, because the body is not part of you. This makes the | body the ego's friend. It is an alliance frankly based on separation. |
Tx:6.49 | The ego and the | body conspire against your minds, and because the ego realizes that |
Tx:6.61 | When your | body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you |
Tx:6.61 | through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind. The | body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are |
Tx:6.62 | God did not make the | body because it is destructible and therefore not of the Kingdom. The |
Tx:6.62 | because it is destructible and therefore not of the Kingdom. The | body is the symbol of what you think you are. It is clearly a |
Tx:6.62 | into a demonstration against it. If the mind can heal the | body but the body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be |
Tx:6.62 | a demonstration against it. If the mind can heal the body but the | body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be stronger. Every |
Tx:6.63 | only the mind is real since only the mind can be shared. The | body is separate and therefore cannot be part of you. To be of |
Tx:6.65 | [You do not lose what you communicate.] The ego uses the | body for attack, for pleasure, and for pride. The insanity of this |
Tx:6.65 | perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The Holy Spirit sees the | body only as a means of communication and because communicating |
Tx:7.13 | separate largely because he perceives of himself as bounded by a | body. Only if he perceives himself as a mind can [he overcome |
Tx:7.39 | The | body is nothing more than a framework for developing abilities. It is |
Tx:7.39 | need no elaboration here, but the Holy Spirit's decision to use the | body only for communication has such a direct connection with |
Tx:7.40 | does not need the mind. The ego thus tries to teach you that the | body can act like the mind and is therefore self-sufficient. Yet we |
Tx:7.41 | no other, because He does not accept the ego's confusion of mind and | body. Minds can communicate, but they cannot hurt. The body in the |
Tx:7.41 | of mind and body. Minds can communicate, but they cannot hurt. The | body in the service of the ego can hurt other bodies, but this |
Tx:7.41 | of the ego can hurt other bodies, but this cannot occur unless the | body has already been confused with the mind. This fact, too, can |
Tx:8.53 | in any form enters your mind, you are equating yourself with a | body. This is the ego's interpretation of the body. You do not have |
Tx:8.53 | yourself with a body. This is the ego's interpretation of the | body. You do not have to attack physically to accept this |
Tx:8.53 | attack would have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself with a | body, you will always experience depression. When a Child of God |
Tx:8.54 | Remember that the Holy Spirit interprets the | body only as a means of communication. Being the communication link |
Tx:8.54 | made in the light of what He is. The ego separates through the | body. The Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not |
Tx:8.54 | and uniting them with yours and mine. This interpretation of the | body will change your mind entirely about its value. Of itself it has |
Tx:8.55 | If you use the | body for attack, it is harmful to you. If you use it only to reach |
Tx:8.55 | of those who believe they are bodies and teach them through the | body that this is not so, you will begin to understand the power of |
Tx:8.55 | the power of the mind that is in both of you. If you use the | body for this and only for this, you cannot use it for attack. In |
Tx:8.55 | unlimited what you have limited. The Holy Spirit does not see the | body as you do, because He knows the only reality anything can have |
Tx:8.56 | Communication ends separation. Attack promotes it. The | body is beautiful or ugly, holy or savage, helpful or harmful, |
Tx:8.56 | or harmful, according to the use to which it is put. And in the | body of another you will see the use to which you have put yours. |
Tx:8.56 | another you will see the use to which you have put yours. If the | body becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy Spirit to use |
Tx:8.59 | is not physical. Yet thought is communication, for which the | body can be used. This is the only natural use to which it can |
Tx:8.59 | This is the only natural use to which it can be put. To use the | body unnaturally is to lose sight of the Holy Spirit's purpose and |
Tx:8.61 | In the world, not even the | body is perceived as whole. Its purpose is seen as fragmented into |
Tx:8.61 | devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this sense, the | body does become a temple to God, because His Voice abides in it by |
Tx:8.62 | Healing is the result of using the | body solely for communication. Since this is natural, it heals by |
Tx:8.62 | but it can be made manifest through the physical if it uses the | body to go beyond itself. By reaching out, the mind extends |
Tx:8.62 | reaching out, the mind extends itself. It does not stop at the | body, for if it does, it is blocked in its purpose. A mind which has |
Tx:8.63 | are the normal expressions of a mind which is working through the | body but not in it. If the mind believes the body is its goal, it |
Tx:8.63 | working through the body but not in it. If the mind believes the | body is its goal, it will distort its perception of the body and, |
Tx:8.63 | the body is its goal, it will distort its perception of the | body and, by blocking its own extension beyond it, will induce |
Tx:8.63 | it, will induce illness by fostering separation. Perceiving the | body as a separate entity cannot but foster illness because it is |
Tx:8.64 | with the same thing and not suffer? Perception of the | body can be unified only by one purpose. This releases the mind |
Tx:8.64 | one purpose. This releases the mind from the temptation to see the | body in many lights and gives it over entirely to the One Light in |
Tx:8.64 | or the learning's real purpose. Learning must lead beyond the | body to the reestablishment of the power of the mind in it. This can |
Tx:8.65 | to God's joyous Teacher, and you must be learning amiss. To see a | body as anything except a means of pure extension is to limit your |
Tx:8.65 | Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If the | body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes |
Tx:8.65 | purpose. If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the | body becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can |
Tx:8.65 | purpose is one. Attack can only be an assumed purpose of the | body, because apart from the mind the body has no purpose at all. |
Tx:8.65 | an assumed purpose of the body, because apart from the mind the | body has no purpose at all. |
Tx:8.66 | You are not limited by the | body, and thought cannot be made flesh. Yet mind can be manifested |
Tx:8.66 | cannot be made flesh. Yet mind can be manifested through the | body if it goes beyond it and does not interpret it as limitation. |
Tx:8.66 | as limitation. Whenever you see another as limited to or by the | body, you are imposing this limit on yourself. Are you willing to |
Tx:8.66 | learning should be to escape from limitations? To conceive of the | body as a means of attack of any kind and to entertain even the |
Tx:8.67 | of the results of your condemnation. When you see a brother as a | body, you are condemning him because you have condemned yourself. |
Tx:8.69 | Attitudes toward the | body are attitudes toward attack. The ego's definitions of |
Tx:8.69 | to it. It does not equate it with what it is. To the ego, the | body is to attack with. Equating you with the body, it teaches |
Tx:8.69 | To the ego, the body is to attack with. Equating you with the | body, it teaches that you are to attack with, because this is what |
Tx:8.69 | that you are to attack with, because this is what it believes. The | body, then, is not the source of its own health. The body's condition |
Tx:8.71 | The | body exists in a world which seems to contain two voices which are |
Tx:8.71 | fighting for its possession. In this perceived constellation, the | body is regarded as capable of shifting its control from one to the |
Tx:8.71 | confusion between means and ends, as it always does. Regarding the | body as an end, the ego has no real use for it because it is not |
Tx:8.72 | has been particularly difficult to overcome the ego's belief in the | body as an end, because this is synonymous with the belief in |
Tx:8.75 | It is still true that the | body has no function of itself, because it is not an end. The ego, |
Tx:8.75 | sole aim is to lose sight of the function of everything. A sick | body does not make any sense. It could not make sense, because |
Tx:8.75 | sense. It could not make sense, because sickness is not what the | body is for. Sickness is meaningful only if the two basic premises |
Tx:8.75 | if the two basic premises on which the ego's interpretation of the | body rests are true. Specifically, these are that the body is for |
Tx:8.75 | of the body rests are true. Specifically, these are that the | body is for attack and that you are a body. Without these premises, |
Tx:8.75 | these are that the body is for attack and that you are a | body. Without these premises, sickness is completely inconceivable. |
Tx:8.79 | The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your | body only to reach your brothers, so He can teach His message |
Tx:8.79 | cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do not allow the | body to be a mirror of a split mind. Do not let it be an image of |
Tx:8.79 | Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the | body lovelessly. Health is the beginning of the proper perspective on |
Tx:8.80 | ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the | body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's belief that the |
Tx:8.85 | The ego, which always weakens the will, wants to separate the | body from the mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, yet the ego |
Tx:8.87 | you to be perfect, to heal all errors, to take no thought of the | body as separate, and to accomplish all things in my name. This is |
Tx:8.88 | not of one mind and that is sickness. Yet sickness is not of the | body, but of the mind. All forms of dysfunction are merely signs |
Tx:13.55 | and will value it. A little piece of glass, a speck of dust, a | body or a war are one to you. For if you value one thing made of |
Tx:15.72 | goes or what it thinks, for this seems unimportant. As long as the | body is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content. To the ego, |
Tx:15.72 | shared. Ideas are basically of no concern, except as they draw the | body of another closer or farther. And it is in these terms that it |
Tx:15.75 | Yet remember this—to be with a | body is not communication. And if you think it is, you will feel |
Tx:15.76 | The illusion of the autonomy of the | body and its ability to overcome loneliness is but the working of |
Tx:15.76 | its own autonomy. As long as you believe that to be with a | body is companionship, you will be compelled to attempt to keep your |
Tx:15.76 | you will be compelled to attempt to keep your brother in his | body, held there by guilt. And you will see safety in guilt and |
Tx:15.85 | As the ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the | body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see |
Tx:15.86 | as wholly without gratification what you think you want. The | body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the |
Tx:15.87 | by God. In the holy instant, where the Great Rays replace the | body in awareness, the recognition of relationships without limits is |
Tx:15.87 | see this, it is necessary to give up every use the ego has for the | body and to accept the fact that the ego has no purpose you would |
Tx:15.87 | you would share with it. For the ego would limit everyone to a | body for its purposes, and while you think it has a purpose, you |
Tx:15.88 | make little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his | body, which you will do as long as you would not release him from |
Tx:15.88 | not release him from it, and you have denied his gift to you. His | body cannot give it. And seek it not through yours. Yet your |
Tx:15.89 | Would you not exchange your little relationships for this? For the | body is little and limited, and only those whom you would see |
Tx:15.91 | When the | body ceases to attract you and when you place no value on it as a |
Tx:15.91 | free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the | body only for purposes of communication and renounce its use for |
Tx:15.91 | which the ego sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a | body at all. In the holy instant there are no bodies, and you |
Tx:15.105 | As long as you perceive the | body as your reality, so long will you perceive yourself as lonely |
Tx:15.107 | of love by teaching that communication remains unbroken, even if the | body is destroyed, provided that you see not the body as the |
Tx:15.107 | even if the body is destroyed, provided that you see not the | body as the necessary means of communication. And if you understand |
Tx:15.107 | you understand this lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the | body is to sacrifice nothing, and communication, which must be of |
Tx:16.53 | two separate people on which each seeks to kill his self and on his | body raise another self which takes its power from his death. Over |
Tx:16.61 | The special relationship is totally without meaning without a | body. And if you value it, you must also value the body. And what |
Tx:16.61 | without a body. And if you value it, you must also value the | body. And what you value, you will keep. The special relationship |
Tx:16.61 | The special relationship is a device for limiting your self to a | body and for limiting your perception of others to theirs. The |
Tx:16.61 | the special relationship if they were seen. For in seeing them, the | body would disappear because its value would be lost. And so your |
Tx:16.63 | Across the bridge, it is so different! For a time the | body is still seen but not exclusively, as it is seen here. For the |
Tx:16.63 | to littleness. Once you have crossed the bridge, the value of the | body is so diminished in your sight that you will see no need at all |
Tx:16.63 | to magnify it. For you will realize that the only value which the | body has is to enable you to bring your brothers to the bridge with |
Tx:17.17 | In the unholy relationship, it is not the | body of the other with which union is attempted but the bodies of |
Tx:17.17 | is attempted but the bodies of those who are not there. Even the | body of the other, already a severely limited perception of him, is |
Tx:17.19 | “bliss.” How can the Holy Spirit bring His interpretation of the | body as a means of communication into relationships whose only |
Tx:18.3 | from which the behavior stems. No one is seen complete. The | body is emphasized, with special emphasis on certain parts, and used |
Tx:18.50 | You have displaced your guilt to your bodies from your minds. Yet a | body cannot be guilty, for it can do nothing of itself. You who |
Tx:18.51 | bodies are not. Only by assigning to the mind the properties of the | body does separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that seems |
Tx:18.51 | and alone. Its guilt, which keeps it separate, is projected to the | body, which suffers and dies because it is attacked, to hold the |
Tx:18.51 | Mind cannot attack, but it can make fantasies and direct the | body to act them out. Yet it is never what the body does that seems |
Tx:18.51 | and direct the body to act them out. Yet it is never what the | body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind believes the body is |
Tx:18.51 | the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind believes the | body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will attack the body by |
Tx:18.51 | the body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will attack the | body by increasing the projection of its guilt upon it. |
Tx:18.52 | attack, but it maintains it can and uses what it does to hurt the | body to prove it can. The mind cannot attack, but it can deceive |
Tx:18.52 | itself. And this is all it does when it believes it has attacked the | body. It can project its guilt, but it will not lose it through |
Tx:18.52 | And though it clearly can misperceive the function of the | body, it cannot change its function from what the Holy Spirit |
Tx:18.52 | its function from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The | body was not made by love. Yet love does not condemn it and can use |
Tx:18.53 | fantasies of vengeance to release from them? Your perception of the | body can clearly be sick, but project not this upon the body. For |
Tx:18.53 | of the body can clearly be sick, but project not this upon the | body. For your wish to make destructive what cannot destroy can have |
Tx:18.54 | It is insane to use the | body as the scapegoat for guilt, directing its attack and blaming it |
Tx:18.54 | the fantasies you want, and they have nothing to do with what the | body does. It does not dream of them, and they but make it a |
Tx:18.54 | a liability where it could be an asset. For fantasies have made your | body your “enemy,” weak, vulnerable, and treacherous, worthy of the |
Tx:18.56 | house your hate is not a prison but an illusion of yourself. The | body is a limit imposed on the universal communication which is an |
Tx:18.57 | The | body is outside you, and but seems to surround you, shutting you |
Tx:18.58 | to Heaven. You whose hands are joined have begun to reach beyond the | body, but not outside yourselves, to reach your shared Identity |
Tx:18.58 | Could this be outside you? Where God is not? Is He a | body, and did He create you as He is not and where He cannot be? You |
Tx:18.59 | entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the | body and a joining of yourself and something else in which your mind |
Tx:18.59 | but merely accepting it. You have accepted this instead of the | body and have let yourself be one with something beyond it simply by |
Tx:18.60 | it, letting your limits melt away, suspending all the “laws” your | body obeys and gently setting them aside. |
Tx:18.61 | There is no violence at all in this escape. The | body is not attacked, but simply properly perceived. It does not |
Tx:18.61 | of peace and joy, and, above all, the lack of awareness of the | body and of the questioning whether or not all this is possible. |
Tx:18.63 | You still have too much faith in the | body as a source of strength. What plans do you make that do not |
Tx:18.64 | have never done—not for one instant have you utterly forgotten the | body. It has faded at times from your sight, but it has not yet |
Tx:18.64 | that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the | body again, but never quite the same. And every instant that you |
Tx:18.65 | At no single instant does the | body exist at all. It is always remembered or anticipated, but never |
Tx:18.66 | and long periods of meditation aimed at detachment from the | body necessary. All such attempts will ultimately succeed because of |
Tx:18.69 | To do anything involves the | body. And if you recognize you need do nothing, you have withdrawn |
Tx:18.69 | is to rest and make a place within you where the activity of the | body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit |
Tx:18.70 | are sent. For from this center will you be directed how to use the | body sinlessly. It is this center, from which the body is absent, |
Tx:18.70 | how to use the body sinlessly. It is this center, from which the | body is absent, that will keep it so in your awareness of it. |
Tx:18.71 | It is only the awareness of the | body that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. |
Tx:18.71 | only the awareness of the body that makes love seem limited. For the | body is a limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin, |
Tx:18.71 | for it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves within a | body know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you |
Tx:18.71 | something outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a | body or some form you think you recognize. |
Tx:18.72 | The | body cannot know. And while you limit your awareness to its tiny |
Tx:18.72 | not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God cannot come into a | body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on love will always seem to |
Tx:18.72 | will always seem to shut Him out and to keep you apart from Him. The | body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete |
Tx:18.75 | in which those in a world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each | body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living |
Tx:18.81 | answer is inevitable. It will come because you came without the | body and interposed no barriers which would interfere with its glad |
Tx:18.87 | no messages which speak of what lies underneath, for it is not the | body that could speak of this. Its eyes perceive it not; its senses |
Tx:18.88 | The circle of fear lies just below the level the | body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is |
Tx:18.88 | coverings and kept apart from what was made to keep it hidden. The | body cannot see this, for the body arose from this for its |
Tx:18.88 | what was made to keep it hidden. The body cannot see this, for the | body arose from this for its protection, which must always depend on |
Tx:18.89 | The | body will remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as long |
Tx:19.2 | purpose real because you make it whole. And this is healing. The | body is healed because you came without it and joined the mind in |
Tx:19.3 | The | body cannot heal because it cannot make itself sick. It needs no |
Tx:19.3 | as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the | body becomes its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate |
Tx:19.3 | Purpose to demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The | body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; |
Tx:19.4 | illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a | body, and the body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, |
Tx:19.4 | faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a body, and the | body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your |
Tx:19.4 | be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your brother as a | body, you have established a condition in which uniting with him |
Tx:19.4 | illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the | body will seem to be sick, for you have made of it an “enemy” of |
Tx:19.6 | forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the | body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality through attack, |
Tx:19.6 | part would heal and therefore calls upon the mind and not the | body. The inevitable compromise is the belief that the body must be |
Tx:19.6 | reality, which could be possible only if the mind is limited to the | body and divided into little parts of seeming wholeness but without |
Tx:19.6 | of seeming wholeness but without connection. This will not harm the | body, but it will keep the delusional thought system in the mind. |
Tx:19.8 | separate from its source. The idea of separation produced the | body and remains connected to it, making it sick because of its |
Tx:19.8 | of its identification with it. You think you are protecting the | body by hiding this connection, for this concealment seems to keep |
Tx:19.13 | Who joined you and in Whom you are united. Grace is not given to a | body, but to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly |
Tx:19.13 | a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the | body and sees the holy place where it was healed. There is the |
Tx:19.16 | nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a | body, but an idea is free, incapable of being kept in prison or |
Tx:19.30 | which could change perception is thus kept impotent, held to the | body by the fear of changed perception which its teacher, who is |
Tx:19.32 | While you believe that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a | body, you will believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can |
Tx:19.57 | Yet would I offer you my | body, you whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I teach |
Tx:19.57 | not atone for sin. Yet you can live to show it is not real. The | body does appear to be the symbol of sin while you believe that it |
Tx:19.58 | of completion which goes beyond guilt because it goes beyond the | body. |
Tx:19.59 | across, and closely related to the first, is the belief that the | body is valuable for what it offers. For here is the attraction of |
Tx:19.59 | it offers. For here is the attraction of guilt made manifest in the | body and seen in it. |
Tx:19.61 | Is it a sacrifice or a release? What has the | body really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it |
Tx:19.61 | love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the | body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and be at peace. |
Tx:19.62 | It is only the messengers of fear that see the | body, for they look for what can suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be |
Tx:19.69 | only with what already is at peace in you, immortal as itself. The | body can bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. |
Tx:19.69 | It has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The | body will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that |
Tx:19.70 | with it, and what you think you are can never be apart from it. The | body is the great seeming betrayer of faith. In it lies |
Tx:19.71 | It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the | body and not find pain. It is essential that this relationship be |
Tx:19.71 | all. It is but the inevitable result of equating yourself with the | body, which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter |
Tx:19.71 | of guilt must enter with it, and whatever fear directs the | body to do is therefore painful. It will share the pain of all |
Tx:19.72 | Is not this inevitable? Under fear's orders, the | body will pursue guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt |
Tx:19.72 | then, is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception, the | body becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying |
Tx:19.72 | is this idea that underlies all of the ego's heavy investment in the | body. And it is this insane relationship which it keeps hidden and |
Tx:19.73 | Why should the | body be anything to you? Certainly what it is made of is not |
Tx:19.73 | you the feelings that you want. Like any communication medium, the | body receives and sends the messages that it is given. It has no |
Tx:19.74 | free yourself. And to convince you this is possible, it bids the | body search for pain in attack upon another, calling it pleasure and |
Tx:19.75 | the impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the | body to the goal of sin and places in it all its faith that this can |
Tx:19.75 | of guilt is the escape from pain. Not one but must regard the | body as himself, without which he would die, and yet within which is |
Tx:19.81 | And what is the black-draped | body they would bury? A body which they dedicated to death, a |
Tx:19.81 | And what is the black-draped body they would bury? A | body which they dedicated to death, a symbol of corruption, a |
Tx:19.81 | dedication to death. The glitter of guilt you laid upon the | body would kill it. For what the ego loves, it kills for its |
Tx:19.82 | You have another dedication which would keep the | body incorruptible and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy |
Tx:19.82 | and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy purpose. The | body no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. Of itself, it |
Tx:19.83 | the one which seems to be the hardest can be accomplished first? The | body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem |
Tx:19.85 | grim commandments nor twisted rituals of condemnation to which the | body leads you. Ask not release of it. But free it from the |
Tx:19.88 | of fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and makes your | body tremble and the cold sweat of fear comes over it, remember it is |
Tx:19.94 | of the quiet recognition that you love Him. The exaltation of the | body is given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could |
Tx:19.94 | in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could never love the | body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as love's attraction |
Tx:20.5 | Look upon all the trinkets made to hang upon the | body or to cover it or for its use. See all the useless things made |
Tx:20.8 | If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red light, the | body is your chosen home, and it is separation that you offer me. And |
Tx:20.41 | Your brother's | body is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as |
Tx:20.41 | Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the | body to communicate. The sight that sees the body has no use which |
Tx:20.41 | for minds need not the body to communicate. The sight that sees the | body has no use which serves the purpose of a holy relationship. And |
Tx:20.43 | pain and death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's | body offers you. The veil that hides the gift hides him as well. He |
Tx:20.46 | first is based on love and rests on it, serene and undisturbed. The | body does not intrude upon it. Any relationship in which the body |
Tx:20.46 | The body does not intrude upon it. Any relationship in which the | body enters is based not on love, but on idolatry. Love wishes to be |
Tx:20.48 | from the sun. It does not seek for power, but for relationships. The | body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking power through |
Tx:20.49 | The Holy Spirit's temple is not a | body, but a relationship. The body is an isolated speck of darkness; |
Tx:20.49 | The Holy Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship. The | body is an isolated speck of darkness; a hidden secret room, a tiny |
Tx:20.50 | You cannot make the | body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it will never be the seat of |
Tx:20.51 | them as love's approach. Let love draw near them and overlook the | body, as it will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the |
Tx:20.51 | in your relationship and not your bodies. You have escaped the | body. Where you are the body cannot enter, for the Holy Spirit has |
Tx:20.51 | and not your bodies. You have escaped the body. Where you are the | body cannot enter, for the Holy Spirit has set His temple there. |
Tx:20.53 | instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the | body and quietly transcend it, rising to welcome what you really |
Tx:20.54 | held gently open, through which you walk together, leaving the | body thankfully behind and resting in the Everlasting Arms. Love's |
Tx:20.55 | The | body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then |
Tx:20.56 | is given him to choose to spend this instant paying tribute to the | body or let himself be given freedom from it. Here he can accept the |
Tx:20.57 | that to those who have been given one true relationship beyond the | body? Can they be long held back from looking on the face of Christ? |
Tx:20.61 | to see your brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as a | body. Is this not perfectly consistent with the goal of holiness? For |
Tx:20.61 | a sinless body is impossible, for holiness is positive, and the | body is merely neutral. It is not sinful, but neither is it sinless. |
Tx:20.61 | not sinful, but neither is it sinless. As nothing, which it is, the | body cannot meaningfully be invested with attributes of Christ or |
Tx:20.62 | The | body is the means by which the ego tries to make the unholy |
Tx:20.62 | be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a brother as a | body is quite in keeping with the purpose of unholiness. Because of |
Tx:20.62 | to wish, for sight is always secondary to desire. And if you see the | body, you have chosen judgment and not vision. For vision, like |
Tx:20.63 | Who sees a brother's | body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He does not really |
Tx:20.63 | it. And here in darkness is your brother's reality imagined as a | body, in unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of |
Tx:20.65 | The | body cannot be looked upon except through judgment. To see the body |
Tx:20.65 | The body cannot be looked upon except through judgment. To see the | body is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the |
Tx:20.65 | from Him Who would undo your teaching. His vision cannot see the | body because it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. |
Tx:20.66 | Your question should not be, “How can I see my brother without the | body?” Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him sinless?” And as you |
Tx:20.69 | your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your brother's | body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire |
Tx:20.70 | to be given. You have the vision which enables each one to see the | body not. And as you look upon each other, you will see an altar to |
Tx:20.70 | upon it. What can you value more than this? Why do you think the | body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you |
Tx:20.71 | The | body is the sign of weakness, vulnerability, and loss of power. Can |
Tx:21.7 | to lose the little that they have. And so it is with all who see the | body as all they have and all their brothers have. They try to reach |
Tx:21.7 | again. And they adjust to loneliness, believing that to keep the | body is to save the little that they have. Listen and try to think if |
Tx:21.10 | Beyond the | body, beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see and yet |
Tx:21.11 | in you. Accept the vision which can show you this and not the | body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing will ever |
Tx:21.35 | you think is sin is limitation, and whom you try to limit to the | body you hate because you fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you |
Tx:21.35 | fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you would condemn him to the | body because the means for sin are dear to you. And so the body has |
Tx:21.35 | to the body because the means for sin are dear to you. And so the | body has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your |
Tx:21.36 | Those who would free their brothers from the | body can have no fear. They have renounced the means for sin by |
Tx:21.36 | in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far beyond the | body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose |
Tx:21.38 | you cannot see because of it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a | body and by another body. The mind could neither ask it nor receive |
Tx:21.38 | of it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a body and by another | body. The mind could neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no |
Tx:21.38 | could neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no more could the | body. The intention is in the mind, which tries to use the body to |
Tx:21.38 | could the body. The intention is in the mind, which tries to use the | body to carry out the means for sin in which the mind believes. |
Tx:21.38 | sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and | body an inescapable belief of those who value sin. And so is |
Tx:21.40 | The | body was made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the darkness so it |
Tx:21.40 | beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to | body. Let them now be given back to what produced them and can use |
Tx:21.51 | as natural. They are as simple and natural to It as breathing to the | body. They are the obvious response to calls for help, the only one |
Tx:21.61 | could this be. Nor could one mind think only for itself unless the | body were the mind. For only bodies can be separate and therefore |
Tx:21.62 | But the insane know not their will. For they believe they see the | body and let their madness tell them it is real. Reason would be |
Tx:21.62 | real. Reason would be incapable of this. And if you would defend the | body against your reason, you will not understand the body or |
Tx:21.62 | defend the body against your reason, you will not understand the | body or yourself. |
Tx:21.63 | The | body does not separate you from your brother, and if you think it |
Tx:21.63 | believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. To see the | body as a barrier between what reason tells you must be joined must |
Tx:22.3 | no difference between these selves, for differences are only of the | body. Therefore, he looks on nothing he would take. He denies not his |
Tx:22.4 | It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the | body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness which you |
Tx:22.6 | vision sees. This you would understand. The brain interprets to the | body, of which it is a part. But what it says, you cannot |
Tx:22.8 | be. This is the emotion of secrecy, of private thoughts, and of the | body. This is the one emotion that opposes love and always leads to |
Tx:22.13 | you that they must have seen each other through a vision not of the | body and communicated in a language the body does not speak. Nor |
Tx:22.13 | through a vision not of the body and communicated in a language the | body does not speak. Nor could it be a fearful sight or sound that |
Tx:22.36 | brother not be blocked by your perception of his sins and of his | body. What is there in him that you would attack except what you |
Tx:22.36 | in him that you would attack except what you associate with his | body, which you believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his |
Tx:22.49 | foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes it looks like an enormous solid | body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet within you there is a Force |
Tx:22.49 | Yet within you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This | body only seems to be immovable; this Force is irresistible in truth. |
Tx:22.51 | Do you want freedom of the | body or of the mind? For both you cannot have. Which do you value? |
Tx:22.51 | it is and can be found. He will believe it possible of mind or | body, and he will make the other serve his choice as means to find it. |
Tx:22.52 | Where freedom of the | body has been chosen, the mind is used as means whose value lies in |
Tx:22.52 | to contrive ways to achieve the body's freedom. Yet freedom of the | body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to serve illusions. |
Tx:22.53 | is the only service which leads to freedom. To serve this end, the | body must be perceived as sinless because the goal is sinlessness. |
Tx:23.9 | on grounds that have no meaning. For your beliefs converge upon the | body, the ego's chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet |
Tx:23.11 | It is forgotten in the body's life, and if you think you are a | body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never |
Tx:23.29 | enemy and hidden where you would not think to look. He hid it in his | body, making it the cover for his guilt, the hiding place for what |
Tx:23.29 | his guilt, the hiding place for what belongs to you. Now must his | body be destroyed and sacrificed that you may have that which |
Tx:23.30 | Behold, unveiled, the ego's secret gift, torn from your brother's | body, hidden there in malice and in hatred for the one to whom the |
Tx:23.46 | of protection stands against the faith in murder. Here stands the | body, torn between the natural desire to communicate and the |
Tx:23.48 | from one another. So will they be to those who see God's Son a | body. For it is not the body that is like the Son's Creator. And what |
Tx:23.48 | So will they be to those who see God's Son a body. For it is not the | body that is like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be |
Tx:23.48 | Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of Life. How can a | body be extended to hold the universe? Can it create and be what it |
Tx:23.49 | God does not share His function with a | body. He gave the function to create unto His Son because it is His |
Tx:23.53 | unifies, and those who share a purpose have a mind as one. The | body has no purpose and must be solitary. From below, it cannot be |
Tx:23.53 | it exerts on those in battle still are gone and not perceived. The | body stands between the Father and the Heaven He created for His Son |
Tx:23.55 | perfection? For everything fought for on the battleground is of the | body—something it seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that |
Tx:24.7 | you are and what your brother is. And here is what must make the | body dear and worth preserving. Specialness must be defended. |
Tx:24.24 | The hope of specialness makes it seem possible God made the | body as the prison-house which keeps His Son from Him. For it demands |
Tx:24.35 | What could the purpose of the | body be but specialness? And it is this that makes it frail and |
Tx:24.35 | cannot change. But what they hold as purpose can be changed, and | body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the body can do |
Tx:24.35 | be changed, and body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the | body can do nothing. See it as means to hurt, and it is hurt. See it |
Tx:24.54 | hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your brother's | body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth within his holiness. |
Tx:24.55 | Choose, then, his | body or his holiness as what you want to see, and which you choose |
Tx:24.55 | denial of Christ in him. And where is your salvation if he is but a | body? Where is your peace but in his holiness? And where is God |
Tx:24.56 | Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your specialness looks on his | body and beholds him not. |
Tx:24.59 | in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the | body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all the power to |
Tx:24.61 | You who believe it easier to see your brother's | body than his holiness, be sure you understand what made this |
Tx:24.65 | Ask yourself this: can you protect the mind? The | body, yes, a little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you |
Tx:24.70 | Look at yourself, and you will see a | body. Look at this body in a different light, and it looks different. |
Tx:24.70 | Look at yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this | body in a different light, and it looks different. And without a |
Tx:24.71 | Thus is the | body made a theory of yourself with no provisions made for evidence |
Tx:24.71 | Him joy and witness to His love and shared His purpose, so does the | body testify to the idea that made it and speak for its reality and |
Tx:25.1 | The Christ in you inhabits not a | body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within |
Tx:25.1 | Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a | body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that |
Tx:25.2 | holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth within his | body. |
Tx:25.3 | The | body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is |
Tx:25.3 | The body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a | body is sick indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the |
Tx:25.3 | it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose folds the | body in His light and fills it with the holiness that shines from |
Tx:25.3 | it with the holiness that shines from Him. And nothing that the | body says or does but makes Him manifest. To those who know Him not, |
Tx:25.4 | it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the | body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is His. And |
Tx:25.4 | the mind is His. And so it must be yours. His holiness directs the | body through the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your |
Tx:25.5 | Perception tells you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the | body, and you will believe that you are there. And every body that |
Tx:25.5 | Behold the body, and you will believe that you are there. And every | body that you look upon reminds you of yourself—your sinfulness, |
Tx:25.5 | are one. And you must see your brother as yourself. Framed in his | body, you will see your sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set |
Tx:25.7 | all that it looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each | body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light |
Tx:25.16 | if a masterpiece were there to see? Yet if you see your brother as a | body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God has set |
Tx:25.16 | that God has set within this frame is all there is to see. The | body holds it for a while without obscuring it in any way. Yet what |
Tx:25.27 | of specialness to put it out of mind where it must be and light the | body up instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it to choose |
Tx:26.1 | of the central theme that somebody must lose. Its focus on the | body is apparent, for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The |
Tx:26.1 | body is apparent, for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The | body is itself a sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of |
Tx:26.1 | of saving just a little for yourself. To see a brother in another | body separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a little |
Tx:26.3 | The little that the | body fences off becomes the self, preserved through sacrifice of |
Tx:26.3 | giving and receiving are the same. And to accept the limits of a | body is to impose these limits on each brother whom you see. For you |
Tx:26.4 | The | body is a loss and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see |
Tx:26.4 | and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your brother as a | body, apart from you and separate in his cell, you are demanding |
Tx:26.7 | God willed not they be. In Heaven God's Son is not imprisoned in a | body nor is sacrificed in solitude to sin. |
Tx:26.54 | to him. This separating off is symbolized in your perception by a | body which is clearly separate and a thing apart. Yet what this |
Tx:26.70 | time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as neutral as the | body is except in terms of what you see it for. If you would keep a |
Tx:27.5 | Holy Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a | body still, for what you really are cannot be seen nor pictured. |
Tx:27.7 | tongues. And yet to both the message is the same. Adornment of the | body seeks to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns |
Tx:27.7 | to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns about the | body demonstrate how frail and vulnerable is your life, how easily |
Tx:27.9 | cherish little pleasures where you can. Yet in this picture is the | body not perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself. |
Tx:27.10 | function is can never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the | body into something it is not. It only takes away from it all signs |
Tx:27.11 | its peace can come and perfect healing take the place of death. The | body can become a sign of life, a promise of redemption, and a breath |
Tx:27.12 | The simple way to let this be achieved is merely this—to let the | body have no purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its |
Tx:27.13 | and will attack again. Protect him not, because your damaged | body shows that you must be protected from him. To forgive may be an |
Tx:27.16 | forgiving, offering salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken | body shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves |
Tx:27.17 | Your | body can be means to teach that it has never suffered pain because of |
Tx:27.39 | one which you should choose. The others are not true. What can the | body get that you would want the most of all? It is your servant and |
Tx:27.54 | Pain demonstrates the | body must be real. It is a loud, obscuring voice whose shrieks would |
Tx:27.54 | purpose is the same as pleasure, for they both are means to make the | body real. What shares a common purpose is the same. This is the law |
Tx:27.55 | is the same and carries but one message: “You are here within this | body, and you can be hurt. You can have pleasure, too, but only at |
Tx:27.56 | This | body, purposeless within itself, holds all your memories and all your |
Tx:27.57 | God's Witness sees no witnesses against the | body. Neither does He harken to the witnesses by other names which |
Tx:27.57 | Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He brings is witness that the | body is not real. Its pains and pleasures does He heal alike, for |
Tx:27.77 | The | body is the central figure in the dreaming of the world. There is no |
Tx:27.77 | of how it was made by other bodies, born into the world outside the | body, lives a little while and dies, to be united in the dust with |
Tx:27.78 | The dreaming of the world takes many forms, because the | body seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous and real. It puts |
Tx:27.80 | out of places and events which it contrives. That this is all the | body does is true, for it is but a figure in a dream. But who |
Tx:27.81 | No one believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a | body and could never have conceived this world as real. He would have |
Tx:27.83 | can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a | body, all are forms of circularity whose ending starts at its |
Tx:27.83 | its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined within a | body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the body |
Tx:27.83 | a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the | body does within its dream. You have no power to make the body stop |
Tx:27.83 | things the body does within its dream. You have no power to make the | body stop its evil deeds because you did not make it and cannot |
Tx:28.5 | does not write the message nor appoint what it is for. Like to the | body, it is purposeless within itself. And if it seems to serve to |
Tx:28.17 | without a barrier or limitation. Thus is purity not of the | body. Nor can it be found where limitation is. The body can be healed |
Tx:28.17 | purity not of the body. Nor can it be found where limitation is. The | body can be healed by its effects, which are as limitless as is |
Tx:28.17 | healing come about because the mind is recognized as not within the | body, and its innocence is quite apart from it and where all |
Tx:28.18 | causelessness is given no effects and none are seen. A mind within a | body and a world of other bodies, each with separate minds, are your |
Tx:28.20 | In dreams of murder and attack are you the victim in a dying | body slain. But in forgiving dreams is no one asked to be the victim |
Tx:28.23 | hated his Creator, so the figures in the dream have hated him. His | body is their slave which they abuse because the motives he has given |
Tx:28.23 | for the vengeance it would offer them. It is their vengeance on the | body which appears to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the |
Tx:28.26 | And where effects are gone, there is no cause. Thus is the | body healed by miracles because they show the mind made sickness |
Tx:28.26 | miracles because they show the mind made sickness and employed the | body to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson will |
Tx:28.26 | teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but that the | body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to teach. |
Tx:28.26 | sent to teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that thought the | body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused nothing and had |
Tx:28.27 | effects of taking back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The | body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is not done to |
Tx:28.29 | it perceive itself as separate and apart from you. Thus is the | body not perceived as sick by both your minds, from separate points |
Tx:28.31 | cause that sickness has. For it was made to keep you separated in a | body which you see as if it were the cause of pain. |
Tx:28.32 | The cause of pain is separation, not the | body, which is only its effect. Yet separation is but empty space, |
Tx:28.39 | is to you. He is not brother made by what he dreams, nor is his | body, “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his reality that is |
Tx:28.39 | as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in brotherhood. His | body and his dreams but seem to make a little gap, where yours have |
Tx:28.50 | voices which its ears were made to hear. Yet sights and sounds the | body can perceive are meaningless. It cannot see nor hear. It does |
Tx:28.54 | Who punishes the | body is insane. For here the little gap is seen, and yet it is not |
Tx:28.56 | The thing you hate and fear and loathe and want, the | body does not know. You send it forth to seek for separation and to |
Tx:28.57 | The | body represents the gap between the little bit of mind you call |
Tx:28.58 | Sickness is anger taken out upon the | body, so that it will suffer pain. It is the obvious effect of what |
Tx:28.62 | his home upon a straw and count on it as shelter from the wind? The | body can be made a home like this because it lacks foundation in the |
Tx:28.63 | With this as purpose is the | body healed. It is not used to witness to the dream of separation and |
Tx:28.66 | between the safety of this shelter and its Source? From here the | body can be seen as what it is and neither less nor more in worth |
Tx:29.4 | of separation, which protect you from the “sacrifice” of love. The | body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and gives you |
Tx:29.5 | The | body could not separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a |
Tx:29.6 | The | body will accommodate to this if you would have it so. It will |
Tx:29.8 | The | body, innocent of any goal, is your excuse for variable goals you |
Tx:29.8 | any goal, is your excuse for variable goals you hold and force the | body to maintain. You do not fear its weakness, but its lack of |
Tx:29.8 | no more. There is a wariness that is aroused by learning that the | body is not real. And there are overtones of seeming fear around the |
Tx:29.9 | serve to hold you back an instant from His love? Would you allow the | body to say “no” to Heaven's calling, were you not afraid to find a |
Tx:29.16 | The | body does not change. It represents the larger dream that change is |
Tx:29.16 | things. And they reflect the teacher who is teaching them. The | body can appear to change with time, with sickness or with health, |
Tx:29.16 | the mind remains unchanged in its belief of what the purpose of the | body is. |
Tx:29.17 | Sickness is a demand the | body be a thing that it is not. Its nothingness is guarantee that it |
Tx:29.18 | The | body that is asked to be a god will be attacked because its |
Tx:29.19 | As “something” is the | body asked to be God's enemy, replacing what He is with littleness |
Tx:29.19 | limit and despair. It is His loss you celebrate when you behold the | body as a thing you love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if |
Tx:29.20 | Condemn your savior not because he thinks he is a | body. For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a |
Tx:29.21 | he made, that he be free of it. He must see someone else as not a | body, one with him, without the wall the world has built to keep |
Tx:29.22 | within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his | body is. Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must |
Tx:29.22 | see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this light the | body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light. The |
Tx:29.28 | some function which you have assigned, some goal which an event, or | body, or a thing should represent and should achieve for you. If |
Tx:29.42 | This world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your | body only if you think that it was made to crucify God's Son. For |
Tx:29.44 | all the rest of it is not. This is the purpose he bestows upon the | body—that it seek for what he lacks and give him what would make |
Tx:29.52 | And it is this which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a | body or a thing, a place, a situation or a circumstance, an object |
Tx:31.28 | but actions. Bodies act, and minds do not. And therefore must the | body be at fault for what it does. It is not seen to be a passive |
Tx:31.28 | and doing nothing of itself at all. If you are sin you are a | body, for the mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the |
Tx:31.28 | you are a body, for the mind acts not. And purpose must be in the | body, not the mind. The body must act on its own and motivate itself. |
Tx:31.28 | mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the mind. The | body must act on its own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you |
Tx:31.28 | and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind within the | body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which acts |
Tx:31.29 | Yet is the body prisoner and not the mind. The | body thinks no thoughts. It has no power to learn, to pardon, nor |
Tx:31.29 | sick within itself. Learning is all that causes change. And so the | body, where no learning can occur, could never change unless the mind |

Tx:31.30 | The mind that thinks it is a sin has but one purpose—that the | body be the source of sin and keep it in the prison-house it chose |
Tx:31.31 | and that it has been given you to change what you believe. The | body will but follow. It can never lead you where you would not be. |
Tx:31.31 | not guard your sleep nor interfere with your awakening. Release your | body from imprisonment, and you will see no one as prisoner to what |
Tx:31.62 | in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the | body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. |
Tx:31.63 | Salvation is undoing. If you choose to see the | body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated things, and |
Tx:31.64 | Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit and perceive the | body not. It merely asks that this should be your choice. For you |
Tx:31.64 | merely asks that this should be your choice. For you can see the | body without help but do not understand how to behold a world apart |
Tx:31.66 | and so it looks on you with eyes that see as yours. Are you a | body? So is all the world perceived as treacherous and out to kill. |

W1:72.4 | On the contrary, we are exclusively concerned with what he does in a | body. We are doing more than failing to help in freeing him from its |

W1:91.10 | If you are not a | body, what are you? Ask this in honesty, and then devote several |
W1:91.12 | all sense of weakness is associated with the belief that you are a | body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. Try to remove |
W1:92.1 | That is because your idea of what seeing means is tied up with the | body and its eyes and brain. This is why you believe that you can |
W1:92.2 | the many magical beliefs that come from the conviction you are a | body and the body's eyes can see. You also believe the body's brain |
W1:96.1 | yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and | body. This sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of |
W1:96.4 | A mind and | body cannot both exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one |
W1:96.4 | in which it could be really part of you. If you are Spirit, then the | body must be meaningless to your reality. |
W1:96.5 | also see itself divorced from Spirit and perceive itself within a | body it confuses with itself. Without its function then, it has no |

W1:128.4 | Let nothing which relates to | body thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation |
W1:135.5 | unable to protect itself, and needing your defense. What but the | body has such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern |
W1:135.5 | deep concern are needful to protect its little life? What but the | body falters and must fail to serve the Son of God as worthy host? |
W1:135.6 | Yet it is not the | body that can fear, nor be a thing to fear. It has no needs but those |
W1:135.7 | be at peace with such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the | body with the right to serve you thus except your own belief? It is |
W1:135.7 | you thus except your own belief? It is your mind which gave the | body all the functions that you see in it and set its value far |
W1:135.8 | The | body is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. |
W1:135.9 | The “self” that needs protection is not real. The | body, valueless and hardly worth the least defense, need merely be |
W1:135.10 | Defend the | body, and you have attacked your mind. For you have seen in it the |
W1:135.10 | the weaknesses, the limits, and the lacks from which you think the | body must be saved. You will not see the mind as separate from bodily |
W1:135.10 | as separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the | body all the pain that comes from the conception of the mind as |
W1:135.11 | These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the | body will respond with health when they have been corrected and |
W1:135.13 | the problem that the plan is made to solve. It must misuse the | body in its plans until it recognizes this is so. But when it has |
W1:135.13 | when it has accepted this as true, then is it healed and lets the | body go. |
W1:135.14 | Enslavement of the | body to the plans the unhealed mind sets up to save itself must make |
W1:135.14 | to the plans the unhealed mind sets up to save itself must make the | body sick. It is not free to be a means of helping in a plan which |
W1:136.9 | can succeed in shielding you from truth? Because it proves the | body is not separate from you, and so you must be separate from the |
W1:136.9 | so you must be separate from the truth. You suffer pain because the | body does, and in this pain are you made one with it. Thus is your |
W1:136.10 | Thus is the | body stronger than the truth, which asks you live but cannot overcome |
W1:136.10 | asks you live but cannot overcome your choice to die. And so the | body is more powerful than everlasting life, Heaven more frail than |
W1:136.18 | be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize the | body to obey. |
W1:136.19 | Now is the | body healed because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. |
W1:136.19 | to relief. And you will recognize you practiced well by this—the | body should not feel at all. If you have been successful, there will |
W1:136.19 | of pain or pleasure. No response at all is in the mind to what the | body does. Its usefulness remains and nothing more. |
W1:136.20 | do not realize that this removes the limits you had placed upon the | body by the purposes you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the |
W1:136.20 | purposes you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the strength the | body has will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. |
W1:136.21 | misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will attack the | body, for the mind is sick. Give instant remedy should this occur by |
W1:136.22 | I have forgotten what I really am for I mistook my | body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth, but I am |
W1:136.22 | for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth, but I am not a | body. And my mind cannot attack. So I cannot be sick. |
W1:137.2 | all the rest to suffer what the others do not feel. It gives the | body final power to make the separation real and keep the mind in |
W1:137.3 | unity that gives it life. But healing is accomplished as he sees the | body has no power to attack the universal oneness of God's Son. |
W1:137.6 | more powerful than Christ to those who dream the world is real. The | body seems to be more solid and more stable than the mind. And love |
W1:137.8 | hand is weakness overcome. And minds which were walled off within a | body free to join with other minds, to be forever strong. |
W1:140.1 | What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the | body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no separation |
W1:140.1 | When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no separation from the | body, where it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must |
W1:151.9 | and the Mind Whose thought created your reality. What can the | body mean to Him Who knows the glory of the Father and the Son? What |
W1:151.12 | your life is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the | body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, within the |
W1:152.5 | includes all shifts in feeling, alterations in conditions of the | body and the mind, in all awareness, and in all response. This is the |
W1:152.6 | afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the mind that lives within a | body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made |
W1:157.6 | Your | body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring |
W1:158.7 | Christ's vision has one law. It does not look upon a | body and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light |
W1:158.7 | it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the | body, an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by |
W1:158.8 | this has been perceived. And this you give today—see no one as a | body. Greet him as the Son of God he is, acknowledging that he is one |
W1:161.5 | It seems to be the | body that we feel limits our freedom, makes us suffer, and at last |
W1:161.6 | fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to look beyond the | body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's “enemy” Christ's |
W1:161.6 | the symbol of love's “enemy” Christ's vision does not see. The | body is the target for attack, for no one thinks he hates a mind. Yet |
W1:161.6 | for no one thinks he hates a mind. Yet what but mind directs the | body to attack? What else could be the seat of fear except what |
W1:161.8 | Who sees a brother as a | body sees him as fear's symbol. And he will attack because what he |
W1:162.3 | His dreams are happy and his rest secure, his safety certain and his | body healed because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him |
W1:163.4 | and laid to rest beneath the headstone death has placed upon the | body of the holy Son of God. |
W1:167.3 | You think that death is of the | body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. |
W1:167.6 | is all. It cannot change what is its waking state. It cannot make a | body nor abide within a body. What is alien to the mind does not |
W1:167.6 | what is its waking state. It cannot make a body nor abide within a | body. What is alien to the mind does not exist because it has no |
W1:182.4 | your childhood home that you would find again. The childhood of your | body and its place of shelter are a memory now so distorted that you |
W1:184.8 | is beyond your naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to his | body that you make appeal. His true Identity is hidden from you by |
W1:184.8 | Identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is. His | body makes response to what you call him, for his mind consents to |
W1:190.3 | that God is dead, has shown that death is victor over life. The | body is the Son of God, corruptible in death, as mortal as the Father |
W1:192.5 | Forgiveness lets the | body be perceived as what it is—a simple teaching aid to be laid by |
W1:192.5 | but hardly changing him who learns at all. The mind without the | body cannot make mistakes. It cannot think that it will die nor be |
W1:192.6 | Only forgiveness can relieve the mind of thinking that the | body is its home. Only forgiveness can restore the peace that God |
W1:196.1 | full awareness, you will not attempt to harm yourself nor make your | body slave to vengeance. You will not attack yourself, and you will |
W1:196.3 | truth will not deceive you longer. You will not believe you are a | body to be crucified. And you will see within today's idea the light |
W1:199.1 | Freedom must be impossible as long as you perceive a | body as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would seek for freedom in |
W1:199.1 | must be impossible as long as you perceive a body as yourself. The | body is a limit. Who would seek for freedom in a body looks for it |
W1:199.1 | as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would seek for freedom in a | body looks for it where it cannot be found. The mind can be made free |
W1:199.1 | The mind can be made free when it no longer sees itself as in a | body, firmly tied to it and sheltered by its presence. If this were |
W1:199.3 | not concerned that to the ego it is quite insane. The ego holds the | body dear because it dwells in it and lives united with the home that |
W1:199.4 | be seen as what it is. Declare your innocence, and you are free. The | body disappears because you have no need of it except the need the |
W1:199.4 | no need of it except the need the Holy Spirit sees. For this, the | body will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. It thus |
W1:199.6 | response to mind with but the thought of freedom as its goal, the | body serves, and serves its purpose well. Without the power to |
W1:199.7 | as your gift to those who still believe they are enslaved within a | body. Be you free, so that the Holy Spirit can make use of your |
W1:199.9 | I am not a | body. I am free. I hear the Voice that God has given me, and it is |
W1:R6.4 | I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:200.1 | of the whole that is my Self, forever one with me. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:202.1 | God Himself has given me His Voice to call me home? I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:203.1 | evil and of sin, because it is my own as well as His. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:204.1 | free in God, forever and forever one with Him. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:205.1 | and my life while I abide where I am not at home. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:206.1 | I would give His gifts where He intended them to be. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:207.1 | melts away as I accept His boundless Love for me. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:208.1 | It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:209.1 | me as His Son. The Love of God within me sets me free. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:210.1 | beloved Son. And that I choose instead of what I made. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:211.1 | to behold it in the Son whom He created as my Self. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:212.1 | Only this I seek, and only this will I accept as mine. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:213.1 | And so I choose to learn His lessons and forget my own. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:214.1 | And I accept but what He gives as what belongs to me. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:215.1 | And I give thanks to Him for showing me the way to go. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:216.1 | I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be given me. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:217.1 | can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due? I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:218.1 | glory. Yet today I can behold this glory and be glad. I am not a | body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:219.1 | [199] I am not a | body. I am free. I am God's Son. Be still, my mind, and think a |

W2:WIS.1 | where the truth should be and where it really is. Sin gave the | body eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold? What need have |
W2:WIS.2 | The | body is the instrument the mind made in its striving to deceive |
W2:WIS.2 | is to strive. Yet can the goal of striving change. And now the | body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for now is |
W2:WIS.4 | is but a childish game. The Son of God may play he has become a | body, prey to evil and to guilt, with but a little life that ends in |
W2:WIB.1 | The | body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built to separate |
W2:WIB.1 | his safety is. How else could he be certain he remains within the | body, keeping love outside? |
W2:WIB.2 | The | body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double “safety.” For the Son |
W2:WIB.3 | The | body is a dream. Like other dreams, it sometimes seems to picture |
W2:WIB.3 | in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the | body serve the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose which |
W2:WIB.3 | serve the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose which the | body will obey by changing what we think that it is for. |
W2:WIB.4 | The | body is the means by which God's Son returns to sanity. Though it was |
W2:WIB.4 | his brother and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the | body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill. |
W2:267.1 | action and in every thought. Peace fills my heart and floods my | body with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all |
W2:277.1 | Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to rule the | body. He is not subject to any laws I made by which I try to make the |
W2:277.1 | He is not subject to any laws I made by which I try to make the | body more secure. He is not changed by what is changeable. He is not |
W2:278.1 | If I accept that I am prisoner within a | body in a world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, |
W2:294.2 | My | body, Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be |
W2:WIE.1 | ego is idolatry—the sign of limited and separated self, born in a | body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the will |
M:5.4 | First, it is obvious that decisions are of the mind, not of the | body. If sickness is but a faulty problem-solving approach, it is a |
M:5.4 | is a decision. And if it is a decision, it is the mind and not the | body that makes it. The resistance to recognizing this is enormous, |
M:5.4 | because the existence of the world as we perceive it depends on the | body being the decision-maker. Terms like “instincts,” “reflexes” and |
M:5.4 | “instincts,” “reflexes” and the like represent attempts to endow the | body with non-mental motivators. Actually, such terms merely state or |
M:5.5 | as a decision of the mind for a purpose for which it would use the | body is the basis of healing. And this is so for healing in all |
M:5.8 | has chosen them. Nor are they open-minded on this point. The | body tells them what to do, and they obey. They have no idea how |
M:12.1 | God. He who was always wholly spirit now no longer sees Himself as a | body or even as in a body. Therefore He is limitless. And being |
M:12.1 | wholly spirit now no longer sees Himself as a body or even as in a | body. Therefore He is limitless. And being limitless, His Thoughts |
M:12.3 | becomes possible to those who do not realize that they are spirit. A | body they can see. A voice they understand and listen to without the |
M:12.3 | only where it is welcomed without fear. So do God's teachers need a | body, for their unity could not be recognized directly. |
M:12.4 | God's teachers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the | body. As they advance in their profession, they become more and more |
M:12.4 | share the illusion of separation, but because of what they use the | body for, they do not believe in the illusion despite appearances. |
M:12.5 | The central lesson is always this—that what you use the | body for, it will become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which |
M:12.5 | Use it to bring the Word of God to those who have it not, and the | body becomes holy. Because it is holy it cannot be sick, nor can it |
M:12.5 | does not make this decision alone. To do that would be to give the | body another purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God's Voice |
M:13.2 | There is no sacrifice in the world's terms that does not involve the | body. Think a while about what the world calls sacrifice. Power, |
M:13.2 | whom all these things belong? Could they mean anything except to a | body? Yet a body cannot evaluate. By seeking after such things, the |

C:P.15 | Many of you have accepted, for instance, that you are more than your | body while retaining your belief in the body. You thus have confused |
C:P.15 | that you are more than your body while retaining your belief in the | body. You thus have confused yourself further by accepting that you |
C:P.15 | accepting that you are two selves—an ego self represented by the | body—and a spirit self that represents to you an invisible world in |
C:P.29 | to believe in the laws of the world that govern the survival of the | body. This is the way of those who know this is not the way it is |
C:P.36 | exchange this world at last for your true home. But it is not your | body that will pass through heaven's gates, nor your body's eyes that |
C:1.2 | feelings are generated by the heart and have nothing to do with the | body. The heart of the body is the altar at which all your offerings |

C:1.3 | your reality. Love is as essential to your being as the heart to the | body. You would not exist without love. It is there even if you are |
C:1.4 | the nature of your own thoughts. You have placed them inside your | body, conceptualizing them in a form that makes no sense. |
C:3.6 | son of man. He walked the world with a face much like your own, a | body with two legs and two arms, ten fingers and ten toes. And yet |
C:3.14 | These words of love do not enter your | body through your eyes and take up residence in your brain, there to |
C:3.16 | You who have been unable to separate mind from | body, brain from head, and intelligence from knowledge, take heart. |
C:3.17 | in contrast, go out to the world, to the suffering, to the weak of | body and of mind. Our hearts are not so easily contained within the |
C:3.19 | tissue, brain, and cells. And then you call it illness and allow the | body to let you down, still and always holding love unto yourself. |
C:4.17 | such exchange of equal value. You give your mind to an idea, your | body to a job, your days to activities that do not interest or |
C:5.5 | or forms of your world. You think relationship exists between one | body and another, and while you think this is so, you will not |
C:5.18 | You thus become a | body moving through a world of illusion where nothing is real and |
C:5.23 | efforts to be an individual are concentrated on the life of your | body. Your concentration on the life of your body is meant to keep |
C:5.23 | on the life of your body. Your concentration on the life of your | body is meant to keep your body separate. “Overcoming” is your catch |
C:5.23 | Your concentration on the life of your body is meant to keep your | body separate. “Overcoming” is your catch phrase here as you struggle |
C:6.2 | brother. This is reality. Your mind is not contained within your | body but is one with God and shared equally with all alike. This is |
C:6.20 | that they still exist, but without the pain and burden of the | body, without the limits placed upon those who remain? You imagine |
C:7.5 | world as love is. The harsh realities of the world may claim your | body and your time, but this one piece of yourself that you have set |
C:7.21 | is easy to see the relationship between a pencil and your hand, your | body and another, the actions that you do and the effects they seem |
C:8.6 | with your heart. Emotions, however, are really reactions of your | body to stimuli that arrive through your senses. Thus, the sight of a |
C:8.6 | your feelings, emotions that seem to have a life of their own, and a | body that reacts to all of it in ways that make you uncomfortable, |
C:8.15 | Think of your | body now as the surface of your existence and look upon it. Stand |
C:8.15 | you of the illusion of your separateness. Step back. See your | body as just the surface layer of your existence. It is what appears |
C:8.15 | found the truth, you have recognized what is not the truth. Your | body is not the truth of who you are, no matter how much it appears |
C:8.16 | for many of you are thinking still that it is what is within the | body that is real: your brain and heart, your thoughts and emotions. |
C:8.16 | is real: your brain and heart, your thoughts and emotions. If your | body contained what was real, it too would be real. Just as if a |
C:8.16 | situation contained the truth, it would be the truth. If your | body and what lies within it are not who you are, you feel as if you |
C:8.16 | to your real home, for were you locked up and contained within your | body, and were you to accept this container as your home, you would |
C:8.17 | it, the terms that set your reality in a location, on a planet, in a | body. God is here and you belong to God. This is the only sense in |
C:8.18 | Now that you are standing back from your | body, participating in this experiment to recognize the surface |
C:8.18 | in a particular place and time. As you stand back and observe your | body, this is what you will see: a form moving through time and |
C:8.19 | This moment without awareness of the | body was beautifully described in A Course in Miracles as the Holy |
C:8.19 | Miracles as the Holy Instant. You may not think observation of your | body is a good way to achieve this, but as you observe you learn to |
C:8.20 | You may begin by feeling compassion toward this | body that you have long viewed as your home. There it goes again, one |
C:8.21 | the opposite, and you will wonder where you are. Yes, there your | body is, but where are you? |
C:8.28 | it be that you move through the same world day by day in the same | body, observing many situations like onto each other, awakening to |
C:9.5 | in it. How many items would you keep that you now look upon? Your | body too was created for its usefulness. It sets you apart, just as |
C:9.5 | apart by what it is useful for. Ask yourself now: To whom is your | body useful? This question does not apply to those for whom you cook |
C:9.5 | improve. The question is, really, who might have seen a use for a | body such as yours before it was created? What kind of creator would |
C:9.6 | You did not create your Self, but your | body you did create. It was created for its usefulness just like |
C:9.6 | space you occupy. Think for a moment of what the creator of such a | body would have intended the body to be. The body is a finite entity, |
C:9.6 | a moment of what the creator of such a body would have intended the | body to be. The body is a finite entity, created to be self-contained |
C:9.6 | the creator of such a body would have intended the body to be. The | body is a finite entity, created to be self-contained but also to |
C:9.7 | The | body could not help but be thus, as it was made with dual purposes in |
C:9.7 | for the separation. Its creator had in mind what is reflected in the | body: self-aggrandizement and self-effacement, pleasure and pain, |
C:9.7 | these desires it is easy to see how a world such as that of the | body developed. Alongside the desire to know was the desire not to |
C:9.10 | Look upon your | body now as you earlier looked upon the space you occupy. Take away |
C:9.10 | that which you now look upon? As you stand back and observe your | body, always with the vision of your heart, think about just what it |
C:9.15 | faces to the world. If, for the purposes of our discussion, the | body is the surface aspect of your self, and if beneath that surface |
C:9.22 | the eternal, to nourishment and rest of the spirit rather than the | body. That your sights are set on the care of the body alone is |
C:9.22 | rather than the body. That your sights are set on the care of the | body alone is another example of choosing an opposite for replacement. |
C:9.25 | up is your insane notion that you are alone. We speak much of your | body here only because it is your proof of this insane idea's |
C:9.25 | How could you not fear for the safety of a home as fragile as the | body? How could you fail to provide the next meal for yourself and |
C:9.30 | on the automobile. You have attempted to change places with the | body, claiming that it is using you rather than that you are using |
C:9.30 | out of guilt in an attempt to place your guilt outside yourself. “My | body made me do it” is like the cry of the child with an imaginary |
C:9.30 | With his claim of an imaginary friend, the child announces that his | body is not within his control. What is your ego but an imaginary |
C:9.32 | of using others from the reality you have made in which you use the | body that you call your home and identify as your own self. How can |
C:9.32 | the purpose of your life seem to be one of usefulness. The more your | body can be of use to others and to yourself, the more worthwhile you |
C:9.33 | alone can give free will. In giving your power to things like your | body and to ideas like time your imitation of the gift of free will |
C:9.33 | illusion that you cannot see this madness for what it truly is. Your | body has no use for your power, and time was not made for happiness. |
C:9.42 | and the same laws bind both. Who is master and who is slave in this | body you would call your home? What freedom would you have without |
C:9.42 | call your home? What freedom would you have without the demands your | body places upon you? The same question can be asked of this world |
C:9.42 | The same question can be asked of this world you see as home to the | body. Which is master and which is slave when both are held in |
C:9.43 | can be used, how lucky you think you are. A beautiful face and a fit | body can be traded for so much. It is no secret that you live in a |
C:9.45 | confusion stems from the initial confusion of the use you think your | body would put you to. All such confusion stems from your |
C:9.50 | Now we seek to uncover the illusion that you can be used by your | body, for your own seeming use by such as this leads to all other |
C:10.1 | First let us consider what it is the | body would use. Although you feel slave to it and under the weight of |
C:10.1 | lies the cure to all disease and the hope of all healing. While the | body seems to tell you what you feel and bid you act in accordance |
C:10.1 | bid you act in accordance with its feelings, how can this be so? The | body by itself is neutral. But as long as you attribute the body with |
C:10.1 | so? The body by itself is neutral. But as long as you attribute the | body with bringing you pleasure, the body will bring you pain as |
C:10.1 | as long as you attribute the body with bringing you pleasure, the | body will bring you pain as well. You cannot choose one without the |
C:10.1 | choose one without the other, because the choice is the same. The | body is a tool made for your use in maintaining the illusion of your |
C:10.1 | could you be more linked with anything than you are with your own | body? If you are not even joined with this presence that you call |
C:10.2 | bodies joined in union closer than the union that you feel with the | body you call your own is indeed ridiculous. Joining happens in |
C:10.3 | to make. Your heart—not to be confused with the pump that runs the | body, but identified as the center of yourself—has no thought |
C:10.4 | and this is as true of illusion as of the truth. You see your | body as your self, and your self as “source” of all that you have |
C:10.5 | as well as those of you just beginning, this abandonment of the | body as your home and source of all you are is the greatest hurdle to |
C:10.5 | all you are is the greatest hurdle to overcome. As you observe the | body and dare to think of life without it, you again and again |
C:10.5 | is the separated self that you have made calling you back to the | body to prove to you that it is insurmountable. Many people at this |
C:10.5 | they see this as further evidence of their entrenchment in the | body. Beware all attempts to think the body away and to think |
C:10.5 | of their entrenchment in the body. Beware all attempts to think the | body away and to think miracles into existence. This desire merely |
C:10.6 | out to you the impossibility of being other than what you are—a | body. This is the “fact” it whispers constantly in your ear, the lie |
C:10.8 | all that is needed. When your separated self whispers to you, “Your | body is but a fact,” all you need tell yourself is, “I am still |
C:10.11 | a game of make believe. You will not believe that you are not your | body, but you would make believe that you are not. You may then be |
C:10.11 | be tempted to believe that because you are pretending you are not a | body, you can pretend you do not feel the pain of a headache or the |
C:10.12 | belief. You would not still be reading if you believed you were your | body and that alone. Long have you known that there is more to you |
C:10.14 | strikes your heart when you consider giving up your belief in the | body. To believe you are not your body while you walk around within |
C:10.14 | giving up your belief in the body. To believe you are not your | body while you walk around within it is something quite different |
C:10.14 | eyes and ears, as well as that of science, would say you are your | body. Even history would seem to prove this fact as you look back and |
C:10.15 | example life. Do you believe that when I walked the earth I was a | body, or do you believe that I was the Son of God before I was born |
C:10.15 | Nowhere in the mystery of faith is it stated that Christ became a | body. |
C:10.16 | You have not been told that the | body does not exist, only that it is not you. Like all tools you |
C:10.16 | while you believe you do, it is quite real to you. To give up the | body entirely is a choice you need not make. As your learning |
C:10.16 | choose this. At this point, however, all that is asked is that your | body is seen as what it is—both in terms of what you made it for |
C:10.17 | the ego would choose being right over happiness. As you observe your | body, also observe its actions in terms of the choices it makes. Ask |
C:10.23 | If the | body is the surface aspect of your existence and fear lies beneath |
C:10.23 | beneath the surface, see the advantage of this exercise: Place your | body out in front of yourself where you can be its silent observer. |
C:10.24 | You will find that you are full of thoughts—thoughts about your | body, the same kind of thoughts you might have of someone else's |
C:10.24 | body, the same kind of thoughts you might have of someone else's | body. The difference will be that these thoughts will not seem to |
C:10.25 | more so than as you conduct your experiment in detachment from the | body. This is why we conduct this experiment. Whether you term |
C:10.25 | anew that your thoughts more accurately define who you are than your | body does. Whether they wander aimlessly or are quite focused, your |
C:10.25 | are more the source of all you are and all you do than is the | body you observe. |
C:10.27 | falling as you walk—but more and more you will come to see the | body as a whole. You will see it from behind as you follow it about |
C:10.27 | you are more aware of your surroundings, and more aware that your | body is part of everything that is happening. There is your body and |
C:10.27 | your body is part of everything that is happening. There is your | body and six more crossing the street. There is your body sitting at |
C:10.27 | There is your body and six more crossing the street. There is your | body sitting at a desk in a building with many others. You will |
C:10.28 | upon yourself? And can you skip along and get in front to see your | body coming toward you? |
C:10.29 | This | body that you claim to be your “self” is but a form—how can it be |
C:10.30 | you will begin to be aware of feelings too that are not bound to the | body. Like the thoughts you neither see nor hear with your body's |
C:10.31 | that your feet still touch the ground and that the boundary of your | body is still intact. But you will remember the urge to laugh gently |
C:10.31 | expanded vision as well. You will remember that for a moment your | body did not seem to be a boundary that kept you contained within its |
C:11.1 | stems from this confusion. If your “source” were truly your | body and the brain that causes it to function, then you would indeed |
C:11.9 | to take anything away from you. While you still view yourself as a | body, you cannot help but think of God as a vengeful God whose final |
C:11.9 | vengeance is your own death. While you still think of your self as a | body, it is easier to accept that your banishment from paradise was |
C:13.1 | of it. This is all the exercises that call you to observe your | body are for. They are the preparation for what is to come: the |
C:13.1 | is to come: the preparation for feeling that which is not of your | body. Our next exercise takes this one step further, and is merely an |
C:13.1 | than you are yours. This is a natural extension of observing your | body in action, because as your body seems to interact with others |
C:13.1 | natural extension of observing your body in action, because as your | body seems to interact with others and as you observe this |
C:13.1 | interaction, you will “see” yourself and others in a new light. Your | body will seem more connected with those of the others it interacts |
C:13.7 | exercise, remember that you already know that you are more than your | body, and ask yourself if it makes sense to not do all you can to |
C:14.18 | The laws of your universe are for the maintenance of your | body, because without it you would not exist. And when you cease to |
C:16.4 | your judgment justified any more than the judgment that condemns a | body to death or to “life” in prison. |
C:16.5 | Life in prison and a | body condemned to death is what judgment does to all of you who |
C:17.13 | And yet all you need do is turn back. Being an observer of your | body has prepared you for this. Step back now to the place that has |
C:18.6 | While you have been taught that you are not your | body, it is impossible for you to deny the body here. Yet you can |
C:18.6 | that you are not your body, it is impossible for you to deny the | body here. Yet you can change the function you have ascribed to it, |
C:18.22 | While we spoke of what you think of as emotion being reactions of the | body to stimulus, we did not speak of this stimulus itself. Before we |
C:18.22 | itself. Before we do so, we must clarify further the function of the | body as a learning device. Your body seems to experience both |
C:18.22 | clarify further the function of the body as a learning device. Your | body seems to experience both pleasure and pain, yet as a learning |
C:18.22 | reaction back to it. This circular relationship between you and the | body is the perfect relationship for the purpose of learning, since |
C:18.22 | however, the perfect relationship when you have misperceived the | body as your home rather than as a learning device. Because you have |
C:18.22 | rather than as a learning device. Because you have misperceived the | body as your home, there is, in a sense, no “you” to which the body |
C:18.22 | the body as your home, there is, in a sense, no “you” to which the | body can send its signals. And so the body seems to be in charge and |
C:18.22 | a sense, no “you” to which the body can send its signals. And so the | body seems to be in charge and to be both the experiencer and the |

C:18.23 | believes it is the body, but that it is at the body's mercy. Yet the | body has no mercy to offer the separated self. It is only a learning |
C:19.1 | There was no evil intent in the creation of the | body as a learning device, and as a learning device it was perfectly |

C:23.10 | this loving relationship can help you to experience freedom of the | body, which is an extension, in form, of your belief in the personal |
C:23.15 | a foundation previously built on fear. Clearly, belief in the | body was easily translated into a belief in the validity of fear. |
C:23.15 | you are free of this misperception, this inaccurate belief, your | body will be freed. It will no longer be an object of use but a means |
C:23.22 | The | body encompasses or holds the belief. It is the composite of your |
C:29.16 | with—as we have stated before—your ideas of using the very | body you call your home rather than allowing it to serve you. |
C:30.7 | that stemmed from the belief in finite life, in being born into a | body and dying to the body. The person who knows, truly knows, the |
C:30.7 | belief in finite life, in being born into a body and dying to the | body. The person who knows, truly knows, the simplest truth of the |
C:30.13 | its location is your own heart. Think now of the created form, the | body. When the heart stops beating, life is seen to be over. Are you |
C:31.2 | guarded and regarded thoughts are what A Course in Miracles calls | body thoughts. Distinctions are made in many religions and |
C:31.2 | and philosophies that separate thought—as dictated by the | body—from thought of a higher order, or spiritual thought. Thoughts |
C:31.2 | Thoughts related to your personal self and the “laws” of the | body, such as those of survival, are not the thoughts of the true |
C:31.6 | can study it not, no more than you can ever see the entirety of your | body unaided, or remove your own brain to view it beneath a |
C:31.6 | your own brain to view it beneath a microscope. Yet you call your | body your own and identify it as your self. Your body moves and |

T1:2.10 | survival of the body is to exist in a lower order. The laws of the | body have thus subjected you to conditions that invited the ego-mind |
T1:4.5 | you. So too has your Self. When your Self is seen as no more than a | body it is seen as little more than an object. |
T1:4.8 | in its imitation of creation, put the “you” of the ego or the | body at the center of its thought system and from this central |
T1:4.10 | a lengthy list of those concerns associated with the survival of the | body, they will miss a whole aspect of concerns associated with |
T1:5.9 | Again I tell you that it is only your | body and the thinking of your ego-mind that make the in-between state |
T1:5.10 | The | body, and thus the “you” whom you think you are, would not experience |
T1:9.9 | that this new form would exist within you; that you would become the | Body of Christ and giving and receiving would be complete. |
T1:9.10 | You are the | Body of Christ. |
T1:9.11 | union and a time of miracles. It will mean that you are the living | Body of Christ. |
T1:10.14 | God's answer to you. Peace is the inheritance I left you. Peace of | body, mind and heart. Peace is the realm of miracles, the condition |
T2:2.5 | What overriding kindness calls one to take care of another's | body, to be a healer? |
T2:4.6 | remembrance, trust, and a wholehearted approach that allows the | body, mind and heart to act in unison. This wholehearted approach is |
T2:9.2 | commonly thought of as tools might be meditation, exercises of the | body such as yoga, or exercises of the mind such as affirmations. |
T2:11.4 | until now, it will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the | body that is your form will remain with you until your death. But |
T2:11.4 | remain with you until your death. But while your perception of your | body as your identity and your home has given way to an idea of it as |
T2:11.13 | in relationship? Is this not similar to saying that a living human | body does not exist without its heart? Is not what is essential to a |
T2:11.13 | not exist without its heart? Is not what is essential to a living | body a fact of that body's existence? While this illustration is not |
T2:11.13 | is not attempting to say that life does not exist apart from the | body, it is attempting to reveal, in an easily understandable way, |
T3:1.6 | ego, what I mean is that the personal self, as represented by your | body, while adhering to the ego's thought system, became an ego-self |
T3:1.13 | There is a danger even now in focusing upon the self of the | body, as this self has been so long bound to the ego-self. Even with |

T3:10.16 | these lessons in forgetting practical lessons for the life of the | body. They are lessons that will soon be translated in another way. |

T3:12.6 | All temptations originate in the mind and are transferred to the | body. Temptations do not originate from love. While some temptations |
T3:13.5 | Remember now that pleasure and pain as perceived by the | body are from the same source. That source has not been the body but |
T3:13.5 | by the body are from the same source. That source has not been the | body but your beliefs about your body and yourself. You have believed |
T3:13.5 | That source has not been the body but your beliefs about your | body and yourself. You have believed pleasure to come at a cost, the |
T3:14.12 | nature's ability to correct itself. You are a part of nature. Your | body can correct or heal itself, and so can your mind and heart—if |
T3:18.9 | of your physical form to the new thought system of the truth. Your | body, as has been often said, is a neutral form that will serve you |
T3:19.5 | That these feelings can be “acted out” by the | body and in the acting out cause harm to other bodies, is the cause |
T3:19.5 | cause harm to other bodies, is the cause for blame and fear of the | body. So too is it with actions linked with survival needs. |
T3:19.6 | For ages the survival needs of the | body have gone unquestioned and been held tantamount. The will of the |
T3:19.6 | have gone unquestioned and been held tantamount. The will of the | body to survive has thus been blamed for all actions that have arisen |
T3:19.6 | all actions that have arisen from real and perceived lack. Yet the | body has no will and the survival of the true Self is not based upon |
T3:19.10 | Leave all blaming of the | body behind and see it not as the source of temptations of the human |
T3:19.10 | has been revealed to lie within the faulty beliefs to which the | body merely responded. The body's response to the new thought system |
T3:21.15 | The self-image aspect is based upon your race, ethnicity, culture, | body size and shape, sex and sexual preferences, and so on. The |
T3:21.17 | them in a new light. No matter what you believe, while you have a | body that is different from all the rest, a name that distinguishes |
T3:21.18 | thoughts of a separated mind or the circumstances of the physical | body. |
T3:22.11 | about your new Self you will observe about all. We will be one | body, one Self. No comparison will be possible. You will realize that |
T4:5.2 | can join your accomplishment with that of all others and become the | body of Christ. |
T4:5.3 | The many forms are made one | body through Christ-consciousness. The one body is one energy given |
T4:5.3 | many forms are made one body through Christ-consciousness. The one | body is one energy given many expressions in form. The same |
T4:5.4 | In order for your | body to live, this one Energy had to enter your form and exist where |
T4:5.5 | It encompasses you. It is you and all who exist with you. It is the | body of Christ. It is like unto what the water of the ocean is to the |
T4:5.6 | God can thus be seen as the All of everything and life, or the | Body of Christ, as all that makes up the seemingly individual parts |
T4:5.7 | Just as your finger is but one part of your | body, without being separate from your body, or other than your body, |
T4:5.7 | is but one part of your body, without being separate from your | body, or other than your body, you are part of the body of Christ, |
T4:5.7 | your body, without being separate from your body, or other than your | body, you are part of the body of Christ, the body of energy that |
T4:5.7 | from your body, or other than your body, you are part of the | body of Christ, the body of energy that makes up the universe. |
T4:5.7 | or other than your body, you are part of the body of Christ, the | body of energy that makes up the universe. |

T4:5.12 | Because you have now made a new choice, a collective choice as one | body, one consciousness, to end the time of the intermediary and to |
T4:5.13 | because it has been a time of increased awareness. Loosed of the | body and the body's limited vision, real choice has been revealed to |

T4:7.5 | The only thing that has created an unreal reality for your heart and | body has been the inability of the mind to join the truth with your |
T4:7.5 | it existed in a reality of fear and judgment, and bound heart and | body to this reality. Your heart has now heard the appeal of this |
T4:7.6 | to relearn the thought system of the truth. Your mind, heart, and | body have joined in alignment to bring this learning about. They now |
T4:7.6 | harmony. Your mind and heart in union have brought harmony to your | body. Sustaining this harmony will keep your body in perfect health, |
T4:7.6 | brought harmony to your body. Sustaining this harmony will keep your | body in perfect health, even while the manner of this perfection of |
T4:8.7 | expressing yourself depended upon what you could “do” with the human | body, you can imagine the learning process that ensued. If your |
T4:8.9 | mind, being of God, was constrained by the learning limits of the | body and chose to rebel against the learning that was needed in order |
T4:12.35 | is up to us dear brothers and sisters. It is up to us acting as one | body, one mind, one heart. It is up to us creating as one body, one |
T4:12.35 | as one body, one mind, one heart. It is up to us creating as one | body, one mind, one heart. Because it is the new future of a new form |
D:1.11 | embraced, and finally consumed—taken into the Self of union. The | body of Christ becomes real through this indwelling of Christ in form. |
D:1.23 | for you would realize that your Self is all there is. We are one | body, one Christ. We are one Self. |
D:1.24 | Your Self is not the person you have been since birth. Your | body does not contain you. What you are going to find happening, as |
D:1.24 | your true identity, is a transference of purpose concerning your | body. What once you saw as yourself, you now must come to see only as |
D:1.25 | We are one | body. |
D:1.27 | in the love and unity in which we truly exist together, as one | body, one Christ, one Self. |
D:3.4 | used words such as victory and triumph, words unusual to the | body of this work but words that will become usual in our normal |
D:3.18 | Self of form. The Self was and will always remain more than the | body. The body, however, is also newly the Self. The body is also, |
D:3.18 | of form. The Self was and will always remain more than the body. The | body, however, is also newly the Self. The body is also, newly, one |

D:3.18 | body, however, is also newly the Self. The body is also, newly, one | body, one Christ. |

D:5.7 | of creating desire for oneness if you truly saw and understood the | body and its acts as representative of truth. You have thought the |
D:5.18 | ways to have literally died and been released from the prison of the | body, the prison of the Earth and your immediate environment, the |
D:5.20 | a prison may no longer be a prison! If you continue to think of your | body as a prison, if you continue to think of your environment, your |
D:6.4 | While the false representation of the | body as the self was almost as detrimental to your learning as the |
D:6.4 | learning as the false representation of the ego as the self, the | body, given your choice to return to who you truly are while still in |
D:6.4 | Thus what is required now is a new way of envisioning the | body and its service to you. |
D:6.5 | Like all that was created for the time of learning, the | body was the perfect learning device. Seeing it as such assisted us |
D:6.5 | us in bringing about the end of the time of learning. But now your | body—your form—must be seen in a new way. It is thus with new |
D:6.5 | —must be seen in a new way. It is thus with new ideas about the | body that we will begin the final thought reversal that will allow |
D:6.6 | The | body, as all else you see among the living, is, in fact, living. It |
D:6.11 | This same kind of attitude still governs your ideas about the | body and the systems of the world in which you exist. If you are no |
D:6.14 | belief. If you continue into the new with your old ideas about your | body, the old body will be what you carry into the new with you. So |
D:6.14 | continue into the new with your old ideas about your body, the old | body will be what you carry into the new with you. So let us begin |
D:6.14 | with a suspension of belief in what you think you know about the | body, in what science would tell you about the body, in what you have |
D:6.14 | you know about the body, in what science would tell you about the | body, in what you have experienced as a body—a suspension of belief |
D:6.14 | would tell you about the body, in what you have experienced as a | body—a suspension of belief that comes in the same spirit as that |
D:6.17 | As I said earlier, we begin by applying this new attitude to the | body. |
D:6.18 | You have been taught that if you take care of the | body in certain ways, then good health will result. You have been |
D:6.18 | then good health will result. You have been taught that if your | body expends energy, then it will need the refueling provided by food |
D:6.18 | these examples will suffice. These modes of behavior concerning the | body were given to teach and to represent. What you have done is turn |
D:6.22 | Let us return now to the beginning and start with the | body as a given. It is what it is in terms of flesh and bone, and it |
D:6.22 | the truth of who you are. How might this change the “laws” of the | body, the laws you gave the body in the time of learning, knowing not |
D:6.22 | How might this change the “laws” of the body, the laws you gave the | body in the time of learning, knowing not what the design of the body |
D:6.22 | the body in the time of learning, knowing not what the design of the | body represented? What might the bodily design now represent? |
D:6.23 | The first example of the | body we presented newly was that of the perfect design of the joining |
D:6.24 | the pattern of learning—the pattern of acceptance. What might the | body be called to accept? This is an easy answer, as you have already |
D:6.24 | accept? This is an easy answer, as you have already called upon the | body to accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the |
D:6.24 | the true Self. You have accepted your true identity. How could the | body now be the same as it once was? |
D:6.25 | The | body was, in the time of learning, representative of a learning |
D:6.25 | a learning being. The ego, however, narrowed your ideas of what the | body was here to learn to ideas of survival. You thus learned to |
D:6.26 | The | body is now the embodiment of the true Self, the embodiment of love, |
D:7.8 | not require you to be defined by particularity. You can accept the | body now as what it is in all its manifestations while not seeing it |
D:7.9 | now called to discover and to become aware of all that you are. The | body, rather than aiding you in learning as it once did, will aid you |
D:7.10 | all of yourself. You who once could love spirit or mind, mind or | body—because of the dualistic nature associated with them—now can |
D:7.11 | But again, we start with the | body, returning love to it now. It is what it is, and nothing that it |
D:7.14 | particular to the universal. Loving all that you are, including your | body, is not love of the particular but universal love. The old way |
D:7.14 | but universal love. The old way in which you related to your | body, be it a love or a hate relationship, was a particular |
D:7.14 | love from the particular to the universal by loving all. We are one | body, one Christ. |
D:7.18 | in union or the state of Christ-consciousness. By becoming one | body, one Christ, you have accepted existence as a non-particular |
D:7.20 | express in new ways. Those ways thus now include the form of your | body without being limited to creation of, and in, form. The body has |
D:7.20 | of your body without being limited to creation of, and in, form. The | body has thus joined creation in a non-time-bound way. |
D:7.21 | Evolution is the time-bound way in which the | body has participated in creation. This is why you have been told |
D:7.26 | to facilitate your understanding, I call you now to imagine your | body as a dot in the center of a circle and the circle as |
D:7.26 | and the circle as representing all that you are. The dot of your | body is all that is bound by time. What transformation outside of |
D:7.26 | What transformation outside of time asks you to do is to see the | body as but this one, small, aspect of what you are. In observing |
D:7.26 | In observing both yourself and others, you have learned to view your | body in the field of time. This will be helpful now as you begin to |
D:7.27 | This circle in which you have placed your | body is not a circle of time and space. It is not a circle that can |
D:7.28 | I ask you to do is to think of these areas as the territory of your | body, and to remember that while this is your territory, it is a |
D:7.29 | the larger consciousness of unity, just as the territory of your | body is shared with those who live and work nearby. This territory of |
D:7.29 | the larger consciousness of unity, just as the territory of your | body exists within the larger territory of the planet Earth. We will |
D:8.1 | Continuing to imagine your | body as the dot within the circle, I ask you to imagine now being |
D:8.4 | of the wider circle of who you are to infiltrate the dot of the | body, or, conversely, as the body having taken a step outside of the |
D:8.4 | you are to infiltrate the dot of the body, or, conversely, as the | body having taken a step outside of the dot of self to infiltrate the |
D:8.4 | of the Self. When you have realized that you are “more” than your | body, your natural talent or ability has been one of the primary |
D:8.4 | such talents or abilities, you have known that they are not of the | body. |
D:8.5 | that exists beyond the boundary we have described as the dot of the | body. |
D:8.7 | have an already existing awareness of the Source of unity beyond the | body will increase your comfort level, and will help establish it as |
D:9.1 | your thoughts. Thoughts are a greater boundary than the dot of your | body and a greater means of imprisonment than bars and walls. They |
D:9.14 | If we return to the image of the | body as the dot in the wider circle and accept that your discovery of |
D:9.14 | discoveries of something that already existed beyond the dot of the | body; and if you accept that these ideas that already exist were able |
D:11.9 | of these words? To the discussion we have been having about the | body and the elevation of the self of form? How might this relate to |
D:11.14 | Self of form does not remain contained within the dot of the | body but draws its sustenance from the larger circle, the circle of |
D:12.1 | the terms in which you are used to thinking, terms that have put the | body at the center of your universe and yourself, there is no |
D:12.1 | and are themselves the product of your brain, which lies within your | body. Since it is believed that a cessation of brain activity is |
D:12.4 | enter the place of unity, to take the step outside of the dot of the | body. |
D:12.5 | something different is going on here, you might also say that your | body has felt no “step” into the realm of unity, and you may rightly |
D:12.13 | at the center of yourself, a place that has nothing to do with the | body. That you listen, hear, and respond may at times be of the body, |
D:12.13 | the body. That you listen, hear, and respond may at times be of the | body, but it may also at times not be of the body. The main idea to |
D:12.13 | may at times be of the body, but it may also at times not be of the | body. The main idea to hold in your mind and heart is the idea of |
D:12.19 | of wholeness, the one of oneness, include you. We are, in unity, one | body. We are, in Christ consciousness, one Christ. We are, in |
D:13.1 | know, especially as what you know grows beyond the realm of mind and | body, form and time. |
D:14.3 | are the ideas we have just explored, ideas of how what is not of the | body can still be known to you. And this is why this exploration and |
D:14.4 | and to fully participate in the discovery that lies beyond the | body and mind, form and time. You will need to put into practice the |
D:14.15 | This reality begins with awareness of what is beyond | body and mind, form and time. It proceeds to this awareness being |
D:14.17 | This wholeness of being is what lies beyond | body and mind, form and time. Becoming the elevated Self of form is |
D:14.17 | whole, and will be the way in which source and cause transform | body and mind, form and time. |
D:Day3.3 | In the area of the | body came another form of learning about which you saw yourself as |
D:Day3.3 | about which you saw yourself as having little choice. When the | body had something to teach you, what choice did you have but to |
D:Day3.3 | teach you, what choice did you have but to listen? So the mind and | body were both conditioned to have learning thrust upon them. You |
D:Day3.30 | your financial “health” is any more secure than the “health” of your | body. |
D:Day4.32 | much like breathing is simply a fact of the natural life of the | body. |
D:Day4.33 | might become the observer and in so doing remove themselves from the | body entirely. |
D:Day5.3 | beyond your physical concept of the mind but, since you are not your | body, the idea of what originates “within” coming from a point beyond |
D:Day5.3 | the idea of what originates “within” coming from a point beyond the | body is not now too unbelievable to contemplate. |
D:Day5.5 | your head. It may be your heart, or some mid-point just beyond the | body. It may, for some, feel like a connection that arises from the |
D:Day5.5 | from the earth and as if it is just below the form of the physical | body. Some could feel it in their hands and others as if it comes |
D:Day5.9 | of the Self rather than the pump that functions as part of your | body, it will be helpful to have identified this chosen access point |
D:Day5.9 | access point for unity even while remembering it is not of the | body alone. |
D:Day6.21 | they would find it. It is being created to exist both within the | body and beyond the body. It is, in truth, the portal of access we |
D:Day6.21 | it. It is being created to exist both within the body and beyond the | body. It is, in truth, the portal of access we have spoken of, a |
D:Day7.9 | The conditions that affect life are conditions that affect the | body. Yet it was only your mind's acceptance of the condition of fear |
D:Day7.9 | only your mind's acceptance of the condition of fear that led the | body to exhibit the conditions of fear in the time of learning. Thus |
D:Day7.9 | Thus it is the mind's acceptance of love that will lead the | body to exhibit the effects of love in the time of acceptance. |
D:Day8.22 | revealed, not in the feeling itself. The feeling is provided by the | body, a helpmate now in your service as a route to true expression. |
D:Day10.12 | from the innate knowing of the self of form—in short, from the | body. The body is the “given” form and while it was the perfect |
D:Day10.12 | innate knowing of the self of form—in short, from the body. The | body is the “given” form and while it was the perfect vehicle for |

D:Day10.27 | to imagine them being peaceful and free of the constraints of the | body. This is as good an idea as I can give you of how to imagine the |
D:Day10.27 | than you are now, but peaceful and free of the constraints of the | body. |
D:Day12.2 | by form but the reverse is true and has always been true. The | body is now ready to know that it is embodied, enclosed, surrounded, |

D:Day16.4 | were made separate from the self and yet were maintained within the | body, thus interrupting the body's natural means of functioning. |
D:Day16.5 | Ejected feelings are projected outside of the | body. These are the unwanted feelings that are blamed on others. |
D:Day17.10 | the truth of union, the birth of form, and the ascension of the | body. Both ways were necessary. Both ways were necessarily |
D:Day18.9 | Just as neither brain nor heart alone provide for a functioning | body, mind and heart in separation could not truly exist and allow |
D:Day18.10 | is that of spirit resurrected in form. It is the ascension of the | body, or elevation of the self of form. You are called to demonstrate |
D:Day23.4 | mountain top must now be surrendered, much as a woman surrenders her | body to the growth of a child within. This is a willing but not an |
D:Day24.5 | self with which you began your journey. You might think of your | body as the cocoon, the carrier of your potential. You might think of |
D:Day24.6 | To attempt to remain within the cocoon of the | body, to attempt to contain the spirit within that cocoon, is to |
D:Day24.7 | Yet the | body is not left behind. The caterpillar, the cocoon, and the |
D:Day27.12 | you never chose union, or wholeness, you did not experience lack of | body temperature or the effects of weather, but it is as if you |
D:Day27.12 | or the effects of weather, but it is as if you denied your | body the ideal 98.6 degrees internally and 78 degrees externally. |
D:Day27.12 | degrees internally and 78 degrees externally. There is no living | body that does not exhibit a temperature, no environment that does |
D:Day37.6 | Relationship and union are the way of God. The way of heart and mind, | body and soul, heaven and earth. God is being in unity and |
D:Day37.7 | How then, you might ask, are you distinct from God? Is your | body distinct from your aliveness? You keep looking for distinction |
D:Day37.8 | in your quest for separation! This would be like demanding to be a | body and not a mind! Your reliance on God can only come through the |
D:Day37.8 | for separation! This would be like demanding that the mind send the | body the signals it needs while proclaiming their separation. |
D:Day37.29 | Like heart, mind, and | body is to your form, being, union, and relationship is to God's |

Tx:5.29 | this goal we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship and to | bring it back into the Oneness in which it was created. Remember that |
Tx:6.20 | guilty, they never could have quoted me as saying, “I come not to | bring peace but a sword.” This is clearly the exact opposite of |
Tx:6.54 | wrong. This would demonstrate that the perfect were inadequate to | bring themselves to the awareness of their perfection and thus side |
Tx:7.95 | because the Holy Spirit, Who is in your mind, knows of them and can | bring them into your awareness whenever you will let Him. They are |
Tx:8.15 | its own acknowledgment of what it is. When you acknowledge this, you | bring the acknowledgment automatically to everyone, because you |

Tx:9.101 | pain, and wholly without suffering of any kind. If you deny Him, you | bring sin, pain, and suffering into your own mind because of the |
Tx:10.3 | way. Yet even the little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it. | Bring this light fearlessly with you and hold it up to the foundation |

Tx:14.31 | with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you will | bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so |
Tx:14.39 | Bringing the ego to God is but to | bring error to truth, where it stands corrected because it is the |
Tx:14.44 | the power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can | bring to all the world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your |
Tx:14.44 | upon it is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the same. All | bring their different problems to its healing light, but all their |
Tx:14.46 | which you accept into the mirror of your minds in time but | bring eternity nearer or farther. But eternity itself is beyond all |
Tx:14.46 | to lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and | bring this world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws |
Tx:14.50 | which you establish. Yet the very fact that you can do this and | bring any order into chaos shows you that you are not an ego and |
Tx:14.55 | with you in seeking it. If you undertake the search together, you | bring with you a light so powerful that what you see is given |
Tx:14.62 | open to receive, not closed to take. Every dark lesson that you | bring to Him Who teaches light He will accept from you because you do |
Tx:14.67 | The miracle brings the effects which only guiltlessness can | bring and thus establishes the fact that guiltlessness must be. |
Tx:15.2 | not waste Him as it does you.] And all the waste that time seems to | bring with it is due but to your identification with the ego, which |
Tx:15.7 | way in which the ego allows the fear of hell to be experienced is to | bring hell here, but always as a foretaste of the future. For no |
Tx:15.22 | you strive for anything in this world with the belief that it will | bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding yourself to |
Tx:15.27 | with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and will | bring you awareness of what you decided for. The Holy Spirit can |
Tx:15.35 | stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance. Yet you cannot | bring it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds |
Tx:15.36 | by so much is it far from you. By so much as you want it will you | bring it nearer. Think not that you can find salvation in your own |
Tx:15.36 | for God's. His will content you, and there is nothing else that can | bring you peace. For peace is of God and of no one beside Him. |
Tx:15.44 | keep unto yourself. Let the Holy Spirit's purity shine them away and | bring all your awareness to the readiness for purity He offers you. |
Tx:15.46 | We said before that to limit love to part of the Sonship is to | bring guilt into your relationships and thus make them unreal. If you |
Tx:15.52 | and although this is not so in Heaven, the Holy Spirit knows how to | bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the holy instant no one is |
Tx:15.54 | told to offer miracles as Christ directs and let the Holy Spirit | bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy instant, you |
Tx:15.67 | at what it is and have judged it completely in the dark. As we | bring it to light, your only question will be why it was you ever |
Tx:16.6 | this. This is not knowledge, and the form of empathy that would | bring this about is so distorted that it would imprison what it would |
Tx:16.6 | the Teacher. Do not confuse your role with His, for this will never | bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His |
Tx:16.16 | upon is with you. Bid Him welcome and honor His witnesses, who | bring you the glad tidings He has come. It is true, just as you fear, |
Tx:16.21 | with what you taught before He came. And the results have been to | bring peace where there was pain, and suffering has disappeared, to |
Tx:16.30 | merely drive it underground and out of sight. It is essential to | bring it into sight and to make no attempt to hide it. For it is |
Tx:16.36 | from illusion: The special love relationship is an attempt [to | bring love into separation. And, as such, it is nothing more than |
Tx:16.36 | separation. And, as such, it is nothing more than an attempt] to | bring love into fear and make it real in fear. In fundamental |
Tx:16.55 | that you have set up in which the dance of death delights you can | bring death to the eternal. Nor can your chosen substitute for the |
Tx:16.63 | realize that the only value which the body has is to enable you to | bring your brothers to the bridge with you and to be released |
Tx:16.76 | For a time you may attempt to | bring illusions into the holy instant to hinder your full awareness |
Tx:16.76 | Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you | bring with you will weaken the experience of Him for a while and will |
Tx:16.78 | illusions. In the holy instant, this is done for you in time to | bring to you the true condition of Heaven. |
Tx:17.5 | Think you that you can | bring truth to fantasy and learn what truth means from the |
Tx:17.5 | frame of reference for its meaning must be itself. When you try to | bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real and |
Tx:17.7 | ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will | bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You will behold the |
Tx:17.14 | for what he did not do. The shadow figures are the witnesses you | bring with you to demonstrate he did what he did not. Because you |
Tx:17.15 | They represent the evil that you think was done to you. You | bring them with you only that you may return evil for evil, hoping |
Tx:17.19 | with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can the Holy Spirit | bring His interpretation of the body as a means of communication into |
Tx:17.26 | fantasies. Let my relationship to you be real to you, and let me | bring reality to your perception of your brothers. They were not |
Tx:17.26 | cherished have excluded me. Let me enter in the Name of God and | bring you peace that you may offer peace to me. |
Tx:17.49 | will go, and you will see the justification for your faith emerge to | bring you shining conviction. Abandon Him not now, nor each other. |
Tx:17.59 | you have no idea what should happen. No goal was set with which to | bring the means in line. And now the only judgment left to make is |
Tx:17.63 | you lose the understanding of the situation the goal of truth would | bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of experience, |
Tx:17.63 | the situation the goal of truth would bring. For fantasy solutions | bring but the illusion of experience, and the illusion of peace is |
Tx:17.75 | do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and | bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks |
Tx:18.9 | to which the Holy Spirit has committed your relationship. Let Him | bring it here, where you would have it be. Give Him but a little |
Tx:18.24 | dream has led to other dreams, and every fantasy which seemed to | bring a light into the darkness but made the darkness deeper. Your |
Tx:18.29 | to the Son of God, who hid in darkness. You have been willing to | bring the darkness to light, and this willingness has given strength |
Tx:18.38 | made guilt and that your plan for the escape from guilt has been to | bring Atonement to it and make salvation fearful. And it is only |
Tx:18.44 | accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would merely | bring unholy means to its accomplishment. The little faith it needed |
Tx:18.78 | your little kingdom. And realize the life and joy which love would | bring to it from where it comes and where it would return with you. |
Tx:18.79 | love for them where once a desert was. And everyone you welcome will | bring love with him from Heaven for you. They enter one by one into |
Tx:18.80 | Go out and find them, for they | bring your Self with them. And lead them gently to your quiet garden |
Tx:18.84 | You have been told to | bring the darkness to the light and guilt to holiness. And you have |
Tx:18.86 | pronouncing it as true. For you sent forth these messengers to | bring this back to you. |
Tx:18.87 | unaware of it; its tongue cannot relay its messages. Yet God can | bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit through |
Tx:18.88 | enough to hold its most external manifestations in darkness and to | bring despair and loneliness to it and keep it joyless. Yet its |
Tx:18.91 | however long you play it, and regardless of how much imagination you | bring to it, you do not confuse it with the world below, nor seek to |
Tx:19.30 | of changed perception which its teacher, who is one with it, would | bring. |
Tx:19.37 | of the Holy Spirit's purpose from your relationship to others to | bring them gently in [has already begun. This is the way in which He |
Tx:19.37 | them gently in [has already begun. This is the way in which He will | bring means and goal in line. The peace He laid deep within both of |
Tx:19.40 | must begin with you and from you reach to everyone who calls and | bring him rest by joining you. |
Tx:19.41 | go for yourselves alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would | bring peace to everyone, and how can He do this except through you? |
Tx:19.52 | the world to feast upon it and to prey upon reality. For they will | bring you word of bones and skin and flesh. They have been taught to |
Tx:19.57 | that it can give you pleasure, you will also believe that it can | bring you pain. |
Tx:19.62 | body's pleasure; it has no hope of pleasure. But neither can it | bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit |
Tx:19.67 | joined already, will be the focus of the new perception that will | bring light to all the world, contained in you. |
Tx:19.69 | what already is at peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can | bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. It is a |
Tx:20.58 | how these must be brought in line before your holy relationship can | bring you only joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy |
Tx:21.65 | which is one with you, in just an instant. And any instant serves to | bring complete correction of his errors and make him whole. The |
Tx:22.16 | and different from each other. In truth they are the same. Both | bring the same amount of misery, though each one seems to be the way |
Tx:22.41 | How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which you will | bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were. |
Tx:22.55 | are you who let this gift be given! Each part of Heaven that you | bring is given you. And every empty place in Heaven that you fill |
Tx:22.55 | empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal Light you | bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can know no fear |
Tx:22.56 | Children of peace, the light has come to you. The light you | bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can deny |
Tx:22.56 | You who are now His means must love all that He loves. And what you | bring is your remembrance of everything that is eternal. No trace of |
Tx:23.38 | in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is illusions will | bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their |
Tx:24.13 | from limits? You have a function in salvation. Its pursuit will | bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you pain. |
Tx:24.13 | pursuit will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must | bring you pain. Here is a goal that would defeat salvation and thus |
Tx:24.25 | and the awareness that your plan has failed and will forever fail to | bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel |
Tx:25.14 | what has always failed on grounds that it will suddenly succeed and | bring what it has never brought before? |
Tx:25.28 | And he will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to | bring him joy. How can a misperception be a sin? Let all your |
Tx:25.32 | their purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone seeks for what will | bring him joy as he defines it. It is not the aim as such that |
Tx:25.32 | is changed. And then the means are chosen once again, as what will | bring rejoicing is defined another way and sought for differently. |
Tx:25.33 | it to rejoice.” And while you think that suffering and sin will | bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see. Nothing is |
Tx:25.33 | joy. Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of God creates to | bring him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in his own creation that |
Tx:25.34 | rest and comfort in another world where peace abides. This world you | bring with you to all the weary eyes and tired hearts that look on |
Tx:25.34 | wish to hurt and kill and die will disappear before the sun you | bring. |
Tx:25.36 | Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you | bring to all the world and all the thoughts that entered it and were |
Tx:25.36 | your own mistakes be brought to truth than by your willingness to | bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond the world of |
Tx:25.82 | vengeance. Problem solving cannot be vengeance, which at best can | bring another problem added to the first, in which the murder is not |
Tx:26.11 | now has been corrected. One mistake is not more difficult for Him to | bring to truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the |
Tx:26.18 | an opposite. And how could strife enter in its simple presence and | bring complexity where oneness is? The truth makes no decisions, for |
Tx:26.53 | is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only function here and serves to | bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's Son where |
Tx:27.39 | are true? Which ones establish peace and offer joy? And which can | bring escape from all the pain of which this world is made?” Whatever |
Tx:27.43 | no problems in a world from which the answer has been barred. But | bring the problem to the only place which holds the answer lovingly |
Tx:27.43 | though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can | bring the question to the answer and receive the answer that was made |
Tx:27.46 | that war has no effects. For all the hurt that war has sought to | bring, the broken bodies, and the shattered limbs, the screaming |
Tx:27.47 | because he was afraid of being healed? The eyes of all the dying | bring reproach, and suffering whispers, “What is there to fear?” |
Tx:27.48 | behind on your returning to the world. And being blessed, you will | bring blessing. Life is given you to give the dying world. And |
Tx:27.51 | for learning does not jump from situations to their opposites and | bring the same results. All healing must proceed in lawful manner in |
Tx:27.85 | your error, who have overlooked the cause entirely? He bids you | bring each terrible effect to Him that you may look together on its |
Tx:27.87 | of the form of suffering that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you | bring to Him He will make answer with this very simple truth. For |
Tx:27.89 | Bring, then, all forms of suffering to Him Who knows that every one | |
Tx:28.7 | will surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new ideas they | bring will be the happy consequences of a cause so ancient that it |
Tx:28.35 | that you never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to | bring you witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it will |
Tx:29.2 | fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence the little gap must | bring to those who cherish it and think that it is their salvation |
Tx:29.30 | obscure to you. Do not ascribe a role to him which you imagine would | bring happiness to you. And do not try to hurt him when he fails to |
Tx:29.44 | or some dream that there is something outside of himself that will | bring happiness and peace to him. If everything is in him, this |
Tx:29.46 | which the body's betterment is cast as major beneficiary, you try to | bring about your death. For you believe that you can suffer lack, and |
Tx:29.70 | dreams are kind to everyone who figures in the dream. And so they | bring the dreamer full release from dreams of fear. He does not fear |
Tx:30.38 | are limits. They are the belief that there are forms which will | bring happiness and that, by limiting, is all attained. It is as if |
Tx:30.53 | Dwell not on them in any form. They but obscure reality, and they | bring fear because they hide the truth. Do not attack what you have |
Tx:30.65 | never wanted it. What happiness have you sought here that did not | bring you pain? What moment of content has not been bought at fearful |
Tx:31.27 | could the outcome be that you would want? And how could murder | bring you benefit? |
Tx:31.73 | the changes that it needs to let it serve the function given you to | bring you peace that you may offer peace to have it yours. |
Tx:31.93 | in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of God and power to | bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the world uncertain, |
Tx:31.93 | it is but a step from there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I | bring a vision of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you |
W1:27.1 | it. This does not matter. The purpose of today's exercises is to | bring the time when the idea will be wholly true a little nearer. |

W1:93.17 | which God has assigned to you. And you can do much today to | bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day is true |
W1:95.16 | You are God's Son, One Self with one Creator and one goal—to | bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may |

W1:97.3 | Today we try to | bring reality still closer to your mind. Each time you practice, |
W1:97.6 | not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gift they | bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. |

W1:103.3 | This basic error we will try again to | bring to truth today and teach ourselves: |
W1:104.8 | come to seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder will we | bring to mind as often as we can: |
W1:107.14 | And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world. For you will | bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes |
W1:108.5 | all correction or that to forgive one brother wholly is enough to | bring salvation to all minds. For these are but some special cases of |

W1:109.7 | born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to | bring the peace of God into the world that it might take its rest |
W1:110.2 | to learn escape from time and every change that time appears to | bring in passing by. |

W1:156.4 | that the world is sanctified because of you. All things that live | bring gifts to you and offer them in gratitude and gladness at your |
W1:157.6 | Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to | bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world. |
W1:157.7 | Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its deliverance. And you who | bring it light will come to see the light more sure, the vision more |
W1:161.4 | do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these words | bring perfect clarity with them to you? What can they seem to be but |
W1:164.4 | this today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will | bring rewards so great and so completely different from all things |
W1:170.14 | our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We | bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. And we give |
W1:R5.3 | So do we | bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. |

W1:185.5 | words who wants illusions and who therefore seeks the means which | bring illusions. He has looked on them and found them wanting. Now he |
W1:185.5 | he has learned their only difference is one of form, for one will | bring the same despair and misery as do the rest. |
W1:185.8 | your requests. Consider but what you believe will comfort you and | bring you happiness. But be you not dismayed by lingering illusions, |
W1:188.1 | and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you | bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because |
W1:188.8 | to the light in us today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently | bring them back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we |
W1:189.7 | and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not | bring with you one thought the past has taught nor one belief you |
W1:190.5 | any way. There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and | bring oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is nothing |
W1:190.7 | you will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. Your strange desires | bring it evil dreams. Your thoughts of death envelop it in fear, |
W1:191.2 | within you and without, no breath you draw that does not seem to | bring you nearer death, no hope you hold but will dissolve in tears. |
W1:191.12 | the world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to | bring your weary brothers rest? |
W1:194.7 | loving hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause him pain or | bring experience of loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he |
W1:195.3 | Now is vengeance all there is to wish for. Now can you but try to | bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as yourself, as |
W1:196.7 | accomplished, you cannot perceive that it is but your thoughts that | bring you fear and your deliverance depends on you. |
W2:237.1 | allow the light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I | bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my Father |
W2:245.1 | peace goes there with me. It sheds its light on everyone I meet. I | bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I give Your peace to |
W2:245.1 | are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my Father. Let me | bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your Will, |
W2:254.2 | at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would | bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are |
W2:272.1 | Heaven by Your will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions | bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will |
W2:275.2 | thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The safety that I | bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all things through me. |
W2:281.1 | who he is, and that he is as You created him. Your Thoughts can only | bring me happiness. If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten |
W2:307.1 | for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your will alone can | bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only |
W2:334.2 | his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and | bring him peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your |
W2:339.1 | when he receives it? He has asked for what will frighten him and | bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to ask for what we really |
W2:340.1 | I thank You for today and for the freedom I am certain it will | bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. His |
W2:WIM.4 | of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will | bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. |
W2:WAI.5 | about the aim for which we came and which we seek to serve. We | bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is |
M:1.4 | an ending, and it is this that the teachers of God are appointed to | bring about. For time is in their hands. Such was their choice, and |
M:4.21 | in the curriculum. Does he still select some aspects of his life to | bring to his learning while keeping others apart? If so, his |
M:4.25 | belongs on the curriculum. It is the function of God's teachers to | bring true learning to the world. Properly speaking it is unlearning |
M:4.25 | learning to the world. Properly speaking it is unlearning that they | bring, for that is “true learning” in the world. It is given to the |
M:4.25 | “true learning” in the world. It is given to the teachers of God to | bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the world. Blessed |
M:5.5 | to him, yet they but give form to his own choice. He chooses them to | bring tangible form to his desires. And it is this they do, and |
M:8.2 | it for itself. Illusions are travesties of creation, attempts to | bring truth to lies. Finding truth unacceptable, the mind revolts |
M:8.3 | see except through differences. Yet it is not the messages they | bring on which perception rests. Only the mind evaluates their |
M:8.4 | correction must be made. The mind classifies what the body's eyes | bring to it according to its preconceived values, judging where each |
M:10.6 | choice, have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step will | bring you peace. Can it be difficult to want but this? |
M:12.1 | upon God's Judgment, not His own. Thus does He share God's Will and | bring His Thoughts to still deluded minds. He is forever One, because |
M:12.5 | it is weak, and being weak, it suffers and it dies. Use it to | bring the Word of God to those who have it not, and the body becomes |
M:15.3 | you will go beyond belief to certainty. One instant out of time can | bring time's end. Judge not, for you but judge yourself and thus |
M:16.9 | advanced state. All intermediate lessons will but lead to this and | bring this goal nearer to recognition. For magic of any kind, in all |
M:17.8 | Into this hopeless situation God sends His teachers. They | bring the light of hope from God Himself. There is a way in which |
M:18.2 | God created. Now He can speak the Word of God to listening ears and | bring Christ's vision to the eyes that see. Now is He free to teach |
M:21.3 | The prayer for things of this world will | bring experiences of this world. If the prayer of the heart asks for |
M:29.4 | the Teacher Who knows the truth has not forgotten it. His decisions | bring benefit to all, being wholly devoid of attack. And therefore |
M:29.8 | He offers you, and all the world stands silent in the grace you | bring from Him. You are the Son He loves, and it is given you to be |
A Course of Love (108) | ||
C:I.5 | of love are not rules, facts, or right answers. The laws of love | bring spiritual freedom, the freedom that lies beyond belief, beyond |
C:P.17 | God as well. Your good intentions will not overcome the world and | bring an end to hell. In all the history of the world, many have done |
C:P.17 | way in which you become the accomplished, and in your accomplishment | bring the new into being? |
C:2.8 | option to the next, giving up on one and hoping that the other will | bring them some peace. To think that these are the only options |
C:3.21 | Think not that these are senseless questions, made to | bring love and pain together and there to leave you unaided and |
C:4.22 | or themselves. These are the angry ones who would demand that others | bring what love they have into the madness to take responsibility for |
C:4.26 | this joining is a metaphor, a string of pleasant words that will | bring you comfort if you heed them, one more sentiment in a world |
C:5.10 | can be made to make sense. With understanding they can begin to | bring sanity to an insane world. |
C:5.11 | are misguided concerning what your feelings mean and how they would | bring love to you and you to love. |
C:6.9 | Choose again! And let go your fear of what the truth will | bring. What could be more insane than that which you now call sanity? |
C:7.1 | mind is not. Your mind would hold on to every idea for what it might | bring you, and is resentful of those whose ideas do come to fruition |
C:7.16 | for yourself alone as they would be if they did not exist. They | bring you not to truth or happiness, nor can they buy you love or the |
C:8.6 | arrive through your senses. Thus, the sight of a lovely sunset can | bring tears to your eyes. The slightest contact between your hand and |
C:8.7 | claim to have them not. It is not your thoughts to which you turn to | bring you evidence for your resentment, ammunition for your |
C:8.11 | what you desire is further separation, and that separation cannot | bring about the truth nor arise from unity. |
C:9.13 | because what you have named and classified is harder to dislodge and | bring to light. Even those feelings you attempt to name and keep |
C:9.20 | This is the only way you have been able to see to | bring relief to the nightmare of a life of fear. You project fear |
C:9.21 | the life of fear you deny yourself. And imagine that you could | bring this one in from that dark and dangerous place. She is cold, |
C:9.39 | found it you will know that it has been found. This is what will | bring you happiness and peace, contentment and a sense of belonging. |
C:10.1 | as you attribute the body with bringing you pleasure, the body will | bring you pain as well. You cannot choose one without the other, |
C:10.13 | or your neighbor is something else. This belief will not necessarily | bring you comfort or do you no harm. What if you believe in the |
C:11.14 | willingness will be enough to begin to effect cause and in so doing | bring some sanity to your restless mind and heart. |
C:12.9 | him as well as you. This is the one joining that needs to occur to | bring about all the rest. |
C:12.22 | Thus, the son's participation in the idea of separation seemed to | bring about a completely reshaped life, a destiny different than that |
C:14.16 | events that you would influence, would behave quite differently and | bring about different results than are somehow meant to occur. |
C:14.25 | This is why this Course cannot just talk of love and | bring you any closer to it than you are. While you realize not the |
C:14.31 | Let us ask instead how loving all as one can | bring harm? If you love all the same, what loss is there to anyone, |
C:15.4 | see that this desire for specialness does not stop with what would | bring misery to your own mind and heart. Perhaps the leader of some |
C:16.8 | Only from this world can your special function be fulfilled and | bring the light to those who still live in darkness. |
C:17.2 | has never left it. It is the reunion of these two selves that will | bring about the completion of the universe and the return of heaven. |
C:19.15 | your own Self—it is obvious that another's experience will not | bring this knowledge to you, not even my experience. If this were so, |
C:20.19 | you never felt as if you would wrap your arms around the world and | bring it comfort if you could? This you can do. Not with physical |
C:20.45 | served, it will assist not only you and your peacefulness, but will | bring peacefulness to the world as well. |
C:22.17 | You have made of yourself a laboratory where you | bring everything for examination, categorization, testing, and filing |
C:26.11 | on happiness? Have you not long lamented that if you knew what would | bring you happiness you would surely pursue it? Have you not long |
C:26.11 | pursue it? Have you not long stated that if you knew what would | bring meaning to your life you would surely do it? Have you not long |
C:27.11 | better understand yourself or your world, or even so that you can | bring Heaven to Earth. Although these are complementary goals, as |
C:28.4 | welcomed or appreciated, so even were the intent of this Course to | bring testimony together in such a way as to cause an evolutionary |
C:29.2 | of service into your lives. But now you shall. For you cannot | bring the learning you have done here into an engagement with life |
C:29.4 | your goals. These adjustments in your attitude toward service will | bring about the completion of the cycle of giving and receiving, and |
T1:1.4 | This reproducing and recollecting are acts of creation. They do not | bring back a reality that once was but transform that reality into a |
T1:1.11 | You can already imagine what an extensive change this will | bring, and, as you are still experiencing change in time, without |
T1:3.25 | have many reasons for not being willing. What we have done here is | bring your fears to light, fears that you did not even realize you |
T1:4.4 | How can the rules of thought we have identified serve to | bring about the miracle that you are? The first means identified was |
T1:4.27 | of God and not due miracles or any other thing or being. I | bring up this point to assure you that this confusion is nothing new, |
T1:7.1 | among you have found that your worldly success has been unable to | bring you the satisfaction and the peace you desire. |
T1:9.1 | return begun through the coursework in A Course of Love. This will | bring about the union of the male and female, of conception and |

T1:10.2 | You will wonder at the lack of extremes in your feelings and want to | bring them back. You will experience this loss of extremes as a lack. |

T2:3.2 | is wholeheartedly recognize the treasure you have already chosen to | bring to the world. Your heart speaks to you of this treasure and |
T2:4.12 | and all those things that at one time or another you thought would | bring you fulfillment. This is about recognizing who you are now. |
T2:5.7 | this learning and making it one with who you are. These lessons will | bring who you are into focus within your mind through the vehicle of |

T2:7.19 | and feeling that comes your way? No, but this does mean that you | bring the thoughts and feelings that arise to the place within your |
T2:7.19 | heart that has been prepared for them. You do not deny them. You | bring them first to your Self, to the Self joined in unity at the |
T2:12.11 | here is that the Christ is also the relationship of all that would | bring the seed to fruition. The ego could be here compared to a |
T3:1.13 | have, a form fully able to represent the truth and, in so doing, we | bring the truth to life and life to the truth. |
T3:4.4 | for the idea of the ego was “wrong” or inaccurate. The only way to | bring that inaccuracy to light was through contrast. |
T3:6.6 | as all of your reasons for bitterness, and bitterness itself behind. | Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling place of Christ and we |
T3:8.8 | your own self. How difficult to imagine that this one change could | bring about all the changes you would imagine that even an army of |
T3:8.8 | the changes you would imagine that even an army of angels could not | bring about. While such a thought remains inconceivable to you it |
T3:10.4 | just as you have, from recognizing what it is you fear, been able to | bring those concerns to love, you can now do so with blame. All you |
T3:14.1 | but to experience the new thought system as thought alone will not | bring about the changes you would so desire to have come about within |
T3:16.12 | you fear to do because of the consequences your actions might | bring. These fears rob you of your certainty and result in a lack of |
T3:20.17 | continue to live by the laws of love in every circumstance, and you | bring love to every circumstance. Be neither dismayed nor discouraged |
T3:20.17 | willingness to offer. Just know these aren't the ones given you to | bring to love and trust that none will remain forever lost to his or |
T3:22.3 | representation of the truth and cannot be otherwise. You may | bring this beauty to any number of walks of life, to what you |

D:4.30 | Understand—this cannot be fearful. This cannot fail. This will not | bring suffering but will end suffering. Your part is to invite it and |

D:Day3.49 | opposed to your idea of the wrong-actions of the past, in order to | bring money or abundance flowing to you. All that this period of |
D:Day4.22 | What could | bring solace to an anger so profound? How can you be certain you are |

D:10.4 | nothing to call your own. You thus must begin to realize that the | bringing forth of the accomplishment that already exists in unity is |
D:14.11 | “out,” to spread “out,” to increase, to become. It is, for us, about | bringing “out” what is within. As you become aware “within” your |

Tx:3.34 | for knowing. It is, however, a means of right perception, which | brings it into the proper domain of the miracle. Properly speaking, |
Tx:3.35 | you are really confusing perception and cognition. Knowledge | brings the mental strength for creative thinking but not for |
Tx:4.86 | you can make. No one who has learned from experience that one choice | brings peace and joy while another brings chaos and disaster needs |

Tx:5.24 | It is compelling only because of what it reminds you of. It | brings to your mind the other way, remaining quiet even in the |
Tx:6.88 | must learn. The way to learn it is inherent in the third step, which | brings together the lessons implied in the others and goes beyond |
Tx:7.36 | with His. The strength of right perception is so great that it | brings the mind into accord with His, because it yields to His pull |
Tx:7.60 | it cannot be understood. We have already said that understanding | brings appreciation, and appreciation brings love. Nothing else can |
Tx:7.60 | said that understanding brings appreciation, and appreciation | brings love. Nothing else can be understood, because nothing else |
Tx:8.93 | He is your reality. If, then, His perception of your mind | brings its reality to you, He is teaching you what you are. |
Tx:9.69 | Yet to give up the dissociation of reality | brings more than merely lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and |
Tx:9.76 | suffer, because it cannot attack. The remembrance of love therefore | brings invulnerability with it. |
Tx:9.94 | that could bring joy to you. It is the denial of the spark that | brings depression, and whenever you see your brothers without it, |
Tx:10.16 | Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing thought | brings it closer. The Son of God has both Father and Son because he |
Tx:11.8 | will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of Christ | brings the remembrance of your Father closer to your awareness. For |
Tx:11.94 | as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the idea of guilt | brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting |
Tx:12.26 | the present only as a brief transition to the future, in which it | brings the past to the future by interpreting the present in past |
Tx:12.54 | light to them, they will return it. Everyone you see in light | brings your light closer to your own awareness. Love always leads |
Tx:13.5 | light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus | brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and healing |
Tx:13.14 | Atonement | brings a re-evaluation of everything you cherish, for it is the means |
Tx:13.59 | Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He | brings the light of truth into the darkness and lets it shine on |
Tx:13.59 | see. They will be happy learners of the lesson which this light | brings to them because it teaches them release from nothing and |
Tx:14.30 | darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He | brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him. |
Tx:14.38 | Atonement does not make holy. You were created holy. It merely | brings unholiness to holiness, or what you made to what you |
Tx:14.47 | has a unique function and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who | brings the laws of another world to this one. The miracle is the |
Tx:14.67 | Son as he always was and not as he would make himself. The miracle | brings the effects which only guiltlessness can bring and thus |
Tx:14.72 | and understanding go together and never can be found alone. Each | brings the other with it, for it is the law of God they be not |

Tx:15.74 | those who will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what | brings guilt cannot be love and must be anger. All anger is |
Tx:15.104 | must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice | brings guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition |
Tx:15.104 | separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love | brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the |
Tx:16.72 | which offended it and seeks retribution of you. The fantasies it | brings to the special relationships it chooses in which to act out |
Tx:17.11 | for your making it. In the light of the real reason which He | brings, as you follow Him, He will show you that there is no reason |
Tx:17.19 | enter at all to “spoil” the dream. And the less the other really | brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union |
Tx:17.61 | of the ego's way of looking, for the ego believes the situation | brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as |
Tx:18.8 | yourself, leading you gently back to the truth and safety within. He | brings all your insane projections and your wild substitutions which |
Tx:18.33 | in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve the state its coming | brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies in your |
Tx:19.14 | faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm sight, which | brings the miracle of healing with equal ease to all of them. For |
Tx:19.15 | ground for the most holy garden which He would make of it. For faith | brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make lovely what |
Tx:19.26 | fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego | brings sin to fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but |
Tx:19.82 | insane idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore | brings the Creator to the awareness of every mind which heard His |
Tx:20.13 | and look on him with the new vision that looks upon the lilies and | brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of fear, lighting each |
Tx:20.71 | when looked upon with vision. For this is not your sight, and | brings with it the laws beloved of Him Whose sight it is. |
Tx:21.30 | but always with faith and with the persistence that faith inevitably | brings. The power of faith is never recognized if it is placed in |
Tx:21.37 | is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice | brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, |
Tx:21.47 | The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another world, | brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it |
Tx:21.66 | want, and all you want. Listen to Him Who speaks with reason and | brings your reason into line with His. Be willing to let reason be |
Tx:22.16 | though each one seems to be the way to lose the misery the other | brings. Every illusion carries pain and suffering in the dark folds |
Tx:22.31 | Reason is not salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and | brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can be given you. |
Tx:22.56 | and yet you will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he | brings to others? And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be |
Tx:22.64 | From loving minds there is no separation. And every thought in one | brings gladness to the other because they are the same. Joy is |
Tx:24.18 | meaning. And it is one you both can understand, and one which | brings release to both of you. Here stands your brother with the |
Tx:25.29 | the same, your choice is made. For it is seeing them as one that | brings release from the belief there are two ways to see. This |
Tx:25.44 | at twilight. And they turn away from sunlight and the clarity it | brings to what they look upon. Dimness seems better—easier to see |
Tx:25.44 | The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and | brings the gift of light that makes sight possible. |
Tx:25.63 | it than that you keep it for yourself alone and recognize that what | brings loss to no one you would not know. This much is necessary to |
Tx:25.72 | you the gifts the innocent deserve. And every one that you accept | brings joy to Him as well as you. He knows that Heaven is richer made |
Tx:25.77 | Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit | brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing else but |
Tx:26.28 | Forgiveness | brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the |
Tx:26.28 | Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that | brings him nearer to his home. Not one is lost, and none is cherished |
Tx:26.46 | your Friend. And it is He who is your only Friend in truth. He | brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to whom they |
Tx:26.73 | not come, although already there? You have been told that everything | brings good that comes from God. And yet it seems as if this is not |
Tx:27.4 | The power of witness is beyond belief because it | brings conviction in its wake. The witness is believed because he |
Tx:27.16 | Forgiveness is not real unless it | brings a healing to your brother and yourself. You must attest his |
Tx:27.47 | apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy instant | brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves |
Tx:27.57 | a witness to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He | brings is witness that the body is not real. Its pains and pleasures |
Tx:27.58 | which you called your suffering. It is no longer there. The One Who | brings the miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of |
Tx:27.58 | It is a witness no one can deny, for it is the effects of life it | brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and pain has vanished. Yet a |
Tx:27.74 | the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He | brings forgiving dreams in which the choice is not who is the |
Tx:27.74 | who is the murderer and who shall be the victim. In the dreams He | brings, there is no murder and there is no death. The dream of |
Tx:27.83 | which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of you. It | brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined |
Tx:27.87 | until it has been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that | brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer |
Tx:28.56 | punish you and thus deserve your hatred for the limitations which it | brings to you. Yet you have made of it a symbol for the limitations |
Tx:29.14 | else His gifts of peace and joy and all the happiness His Presence | brings can be obtained. For they are where He is Who brought them |
Tx:29.32 | can but be found in him. And every thought of love you offer him but | brings you nearer to your wakening to peace eternal and to endless |
Tx:29.43 | no other answer you can substitute and find the happiness His answer | brings. Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain comes simply |
Tx:29.63 | idols which are interposed between your judgment and the penalty it | brings. |

W1:16.3 | salvation requires that you recognize that every thought you have | brings either peace or war, either love or fear. A neutral result is |
W1:52.2 | never frightening. It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality | brings only perfect peace. When I am upset, it is always because I |
W1:58.3 | Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it | brings to me. There is nothing that is apart from this joy because |
W1:61.4 | perfect answer to all illusions and therefore to all temptation. It | brings all the images you have made about yourself to the truth and |
W1:63.4 | The light of the world | brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the means God |
W1:74.2 | to recognize this today and experience the peace this recognition | brings. |
W1:80.3 | One problem—one solution. Accept the peace this simple statement | brings. |
W1:80.5 | Now let the peace that your acceptance | brings be given you. Close your eyes and receive your reward. |
W1:82.2 | [63] The light of the world | brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is |
W1:92.4 | It unites with light, of which it is a part. It sees itself. It | brings the light in which your Self appears. In darkness you perceive |
W1:94.1 | Today we continue with the one idea which | brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of |
W1:99.6 | This is the thought which | brings illusions to the truth, and sees them as appearances behind |
W1:101.10 | from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now today's idea | brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster to the |
W1:103.6 | your mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the happiness it | brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to |
W1:108.3 | and vision, being healed, has power to heal. This is the light that | brings your peace of mind to other minds, to share it and be glad |
W1:108.3 | you and with themselves. This is the light which heals because it | brings single perception, based upon one frame of reference from |
W1:117.2 | also happiness. Let me remember love is happiness and nothing else | brings joy. And so I choose to entertain no substitutes for love. |
W1:122.4 | promise never to be kept can hold more hope than what forgiveness | brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will |
W1:122.11 | of questions answered, and what your acceptance of the answer | brings. Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness |
W1:123.5 | be. Thanks be to you who heard, for you become the messenger who | brings His Voice with you and let it echo round and round the world. |
W1:133.6 | you just a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make | brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you learn the |
W1:136.8 | a thing that happens to you quite unsought, which makes you weak and | brings you suffering. It is a choice you make, a plan you lay when |
W1:140.3 | The happy dreams the Holy Spirit | brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one can |
W1:140.7 | world provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that | brings illusions to the truth is really changed. There is no change |
W1:153.2 | The world gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat | brings anger, anger makes attack seem reasonable, honestly provoked, |
W1:153.12 | gladly laid aside when children come to see the benefits salvation | brings. |
W1:154.5 | nor ask why he has chosen those who will receive the message that he | brings. It is enough that he accept it, give it to the ones for whom |
W1:157.2 | learned already and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It | brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse |
W1:157.3 | learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, | brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you for a |

W1:169.7 | experience we try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and learned, | brings with it the experiences which bear witness that the time the |
W1:170.1 | safe because of cruelty. You mean that you believe to hurt another | brings you freedom. And you mean that to attack is to exchange the |
W1:R5.7 | that waits to meet us at the journey's ending. Every step we take | brings us a little nearer. This review will shorten time immeasurably |
W1:I2.2 | alone cannot convey the sense of liberation which their lifting | brings. But the experience of freedom and of peace that comes as you |
W1:182.4 | go is holy ground. It is His holiness that lights up Heaven and that | brings to earth the pure reflection of the light above, wherein are |
W1:187.3 | you will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it | brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the idea of giving |
W1:188.3 | eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It | brings renewal to all tired hearts and lights all vision as it passes |
W1:193.12 | God would have him not forget His Love and all the gifts His Love | brings with it. Would you now renounce your own salvation? Would you |
W1:193.20 | words. And then you hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and | brings the Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it |
W1:198.8 | but Truth could have a thought which builds a bridge to truth which | brings illusions to the other side? |
W1:199.8 | more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your practice | brings even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness |
W2:267.1 | healed, and all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat | brings me peace; each breath infuses me with strength. I am a |
W2:288.1 | This is the thought that leads the way to You and | brings me to my goal. I cannot come to You without my brother. And to |
W2:WIRW.1 | to what you made. Your world is seen through eyes of fear and | brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be |
W2:WISC.2 | things with you. There is no end to the release the Second Coming | brings, as God's creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the |
W2:E.5 | sure that hell will claim you not and that each choice you make | brings Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk with Him from this |
M:14.2 | real. Here is His home, for here there is need of Him indeed. He | brings the ending of the world with Him. It is His Call God's |
M:14.4 | of its thinking will still seem sensible. The final lesson which | brings the ending of the world cannot be grasped by those not yet |
M:14.5 | is laughter, who can longer weep? And only complete forgiveness | brings all this to bless the world. In blessing it departs, for it |
M:19.3 | the lens which, held before the body's eyes, distorts perception and | brings witness of the distorted world back to the mind that made the |

Tx:1.72 | the stranger without. By bringing in the stranger, he becomes your | brother. |
Tx:1.78 | It is therefore an inappropriate reaction to me. An elder | brother is entitled to respect for his greater experience and a |
Tx:1.78 | his greater wisdom. He is also entitled to love because he is a | brother and also to devotion if he is devoted. It is only my devotion |
Tx:1.80 | I bridge the distance as an elder | brother to man on the one hand and as a Son of God on the other. My |
Tx:2.43 | talent of protecting others. The inner self knows itself as both a | brother and a Son. You know that when defenses are disrupted, there |
Tx:4.1 | The Bible says that you should go with a | brother twice as far as he asks. It certainly does not suggest that |
Tx:4.1 | does not suggest that you set him back on his journey. Devotion to a | brother cannot set you back either. It can lead only to mutual |
Tx:4.20 | for your Soul. A father can safely leave a child with an elder | brother who has shown himself responsible, but this involves no |
Tx:4.20 | but this involves no confusion about the child's origin. The | brother can protect the child's body and his ego, which are very |
Tx:4.58 | your ego together but has literally split your mind. As a loving | brother, I am deeply concerned with your mind and urge you to follow |
Tx:4.90 | I want. I will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your | brother is to know God. A little knowledge is an all-encompassing |
Tx:4.91 | As you come closer to a | brother, you do approach me and, as you withdraw from him, I |
Tx:5.4 | Let me know this | brother as I know myself. |
Tx:5.32 | The way to learn to know your | brother is by perceiving the Holy Spirit in him. We have already said |
Tx:5.33 | brothers. Since thoughts do not have to be conscious to exist, your | brother does not have to be aware of the Holy Spirit either in |
Tx:5.34 | Your | brother may have dissociated the Call for God, just as you have. |
Tx:5.34 | and thus acknowledge its being. There are two ways of seeing your | brother which are diametrically opposed to each other. They must both |
Tx:5.34 | and you will recognize Him in yours. What you acknowledge in your | brother you are acknowledging in yourself, and what you share you |
Tx:5.53 | It means that you cannot be hurt and do not want to show your | brother anything except your wholeness. Show him that he cannot |
Tx:5.54 | you belong, and how can you find this way except by taking your | brother with you? |
Tx:5.55 | know that he belongs to God as you do. How could you treat your | brother better than by rendering unto God the things which are God's? |
Tx:6.1 | wholly irrational premises, the equally irrational conclusion that a | brother is worthy of attack rather than of love follows. What can |
Tx:6.21 | to have called forth upon Judas was a similar reversal. Judas was my | brother and a Son of God, as much a part of the Sonship as myself. |
Tx:7.9 | of the elements which they share, can transfer to it. When a | brother perceives himself as sick, he is perceiving himself as not |
Tx:7.10 | To heal, then, is to correct perception in your | brother and yourself by sharing the Holy Spirit with him. This |
Tx:7.48 | you are learning. You are recognizing the changeless mind in your | brother by realizing that he could not have changed his mind. That |
Tx:7.70 | Whenever you deny a blessing to a | brother, you will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total |
Tx:7.72 | When a | brother acts insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless |
Tx:7.73 | Teach no one that he is what you would not want to be. Your | brother is the mirror in which you will see the image of yourself as |
Tx:7.78 | taking it from you. One must be fearful if he believes that his | brother is attacking him to tear the Kingdom of Heaven from him. This |
Tx:7.79 | of this as you are, are out to take God from you. Whenever a | brother attacks another, this is what he believes. Projection |
Tx:7.111 | and appreciate and know. Perceiving the Majesty of God as your | brother is to accept your own inheritance. God gives only equally. |
Tx:7.112 | only the whole Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a | brother by recognizing his worth, you are acknowledging his power |
Tx:8.21 | Whenever you are with a | brother, you are learning what you are because you are teaching |
Tx:8.57 | Loss of any kind is impossible. When you look upon a | brother as a physical entity, his power and glory are lost to |
Tx:8.67 | more are any of the results of your condemnation. When you see a | brother as a body, you are condemning him because you have |
Tx:8.110 | be shaken. Can you ask of the Holy Spirit truly and doubt your | brother? Believe his words are true because of the truth which is |
Tx:8.111 | The message your | brother gives you is up to you. What does he say to you? What would |
Tx:8.111 | him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What can so holy a | brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it? Your |
Tx:8.111 | brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it? Your | brother may not know who he is, but there is a light in his mind |
Tx:8.112 | Salvation is of your | brother. The Holy Spirit extends from your mind to his and answers |
Tx:8.112 | it is for you unless you hear it in others. It must be for your | brother because it is for you. Would God have created a Voice for |
Tx:8.112 | His answer except as He answers all of God's Sons? Hear of your | brother what you would have me hear of you, for you would not want |
Tx:8.119 | Because I will to know myself, I see you as God's Son and my | brother. |
Tx:9.2 | lies solely in the relinquishment of the ego. When you correct a | brother, you are telling him that he is wrong. He may be making no |
Tx:9.4 | you are listening to your ego and making as little sense as the | brother whose errors you perceive. This cannot be correction. Yet it |
Tx:9.5 | When a | brother behaves insanely, you can heal him only by perceiving the |
Tx:9.5 | this different from telling you that what you teach you learn? Your | brother is as right as you are, and if you think he is wrong, you are |
Tx:9.7 | The Holy Spirit in you forgives all things in you and in your | brother. His errors are forgiven with yours. Atonement is no more |
Tx:9.7 | because it comes from love. Any attempt you make to correct a | brother means that you believe correction by you is possible, and |
Tx:9.9 | believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your | brother is if you would know yourself. Perceive what he is not, |
Tx:9.32 | will not always recognize His consistency. What you offer to your | brother, you offer to Him because He cannot go beyond your offering |
Tx:9.33 | than He is. Would you know what this means? If what you do to my | brother you do to me, and if you do everything for yourself because |
Tx:9.37 | you, and you are incomplete without your creations. Accept your | brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you will |
Tx:9.37 | know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that your | brother is a co-creator with you. |
Tx:9.80 | When a | brother is sick, it is because he is not asking for peace and |
Tx:9.91 | It is an act of faith, because it is the recognition that his | brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy Spirit in his mind, a |
Tx:9.91 | the miracle worker has heard Him, he strengthens His Voice in a sick | brother by weakening his belief in sickness, which he does not |
Tx:10.4 | My | brother, you are part of God and part of me. When you have at last |
Tx:10.5 | it to yourself. For you dwell in the Mind of God with your | brother, for God Himself did not will to be alone. |
Tx:10.17 | of God. Every healing thought which you accept, either from your | brother or in your own mind, teaches you that you are God's Son. In |
Tx:10.33 | because the light He created is one with Him. Would you cut off a | brother from the light that is yours? You would not do so if you |
Tx:10.58 | Every | brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, |
Tx:10.58 | is a witness to the thought system you want to be true. Every | brother has the power to release you if you will to be free. You |
Tx:10.62 | as you live in everyone. Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a | brother and not perceive it in yourself? And can you perceive it in |
Tx:10.84 | Do not, then, be deceived in your | brother and see only his loving thoughts as his reality, for by |
Tx:10.85 | presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your | brother because this is what you will perceive in him, and you will |
Tx:10.86 | you cannot perceive part of you as sick and achieve your own goal. | Brother, we heal together as we live together and love together. Be |
Tx:10.87 | If you perceive offense in a | brother, pluck the offense from your mind, for you are offended by |
Tx:11.6 | need His. Only appreciation is an appropriate response to your | brother. Gratitude is due him for both his loving thoughts and his |
Tx:11.7 | them to you because they are for you. Do not attempt to “help” a | brother in your way, for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his |
Tx:11.15 | God. You can remember this for all the Sonship. Do not allow your | brother not to remember, for his forgetfulness is yours. But your |
Tx:11.15 | This is what you have forgotten. To perceive the healing of your | brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to remember God. |
Tx:11.16 | Perceive in sickness but another call for love and offer your | brother what he believes he cannot offer himself. Whatever the |
Tx:11.16 | health is to recognize in hatred the call for love. And to give a | brother what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your |
Tx:11.16 | is to offer it unto yourself, for your Father wills you to know your | brother as yourself. Answer his call for love and yours is |
Tx:11.25 | Suppose a | brother insists on having you do something you think you do not want |
Tx:11.26 | Whenever you become angry with a | brother, for whatever reason, you are believing that the ego is |
Tx:11.27 | for nothing can be asked of you, and every request of a | brother is for you. Why would you insist in denying him? For to |
Tx:12.27 | it go. You thus deny yourself the message of release that every | brother offers you now. |
Tx:12.37 | it comes it is not recognized. If you see your own hatred as your | brother, you are not seeing him. Everyone draws nigh unto what he |
Tx:12.45 | leaves no room for any error. This means that you perceive a | brother only as you see him now. His past has no reality in the |
Tx:12.45 | what was now. If you remember the past as you look upon your | brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is now. |
Tx:12.49 | The miracle enables you to see your | brother without his past and so perceive him as born again. His |
Tx:13.9 | power to create the witnesses to [yours, which is as His. Deny a | brother here, and you deny the witnesses to] your fatherhood in |
Tx:13.14 | because you see the past and see him not. When you condemn a | brother, you are saying, “I who was guilty choose to remain so.” |
Tx:13.22 | In any union with a | brother in which you seek to lay your guilt upon him or share it with |
Tx:13.30 | true, you will have no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a | brother can see himself as guiltless in the peace of God. If he is |
Tx:13.70 | he binds himself to darkness because he did not choose to free his | brother and enter light with him. By giving power to nothing, he |
Tx:14.52 | is merely form, and nothing else. For you do not respond to what a | brother really offers you, but only to the particular perception of |
Tx:14.56 | Holy Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a | brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and teach |
Tx:14.57 | is the recognition that this is true. Where there is love, your | brother must give it to you because of what it is. But where there |
Tx:15.13 | be yours alone. Remember, then, when you are tempted to attack a | brother, that his instant of release is yours. Miracles are the |
Tx:15.13 | for His use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short for your | brother as it is for you. Practice giving this blessed instant of |
Tx:15.19 | A Son of God who has been released through the Holy Spirit in a | brother, if the release is complete, is always recognized. He |
Tx:15.34 | God and of the Heaven that is in him. For where you would help your | brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his call for |
Tx:15.54 | apart from His, and it is impossible to understand it. Every | brother God loves as He loves you—neither less nor more. He needs |
Tx:15.56 | as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you can make a | brother what he is not because you would have him so. |
Tx:15.76 | body is companionship, you will be compelled to attempt to keep your | brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you will see safety |
Tx:15.88 | its demands to make little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a | brother to his body, which you will do as long as you would not |
Tx:16.6 | The triumph of weakness is not what you would offer to a | brother. And yet you know no triumph but this. This is not |
Tx:16.7 | try to substitute your “miracle” for this. We once said that if a | brother asks a foolish thing of you, to do it. But be certain that |
Tx:18.45 | It is no dream to love your | brother as yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a dream. All that |
Tx:18.48 | I desire this holy instant for myself that I may share it with my | brother, whom I love. It is not possible that I can have it without |
Tx:18.82 | You could no more know God alone than He knows you without your | brother. But together you could no more be unaware of love than |
Tx:19.4 | straight to illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a | brother as a body, and the body cannot be used for purposes of |
Tx:19.4 | body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your | brother as a body, you have established a condition in which uniting |
Tx:19.10 | from the past, which you received. You do not use anything your | brother has done before to condemn him now. You freely choose to |
Tx:19.98 | obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus far unless his | brother walked beside him. And no one would dare to look on it |
Tx:19.98 | no one would dare to look on it without complete forgiveness of his | brother in his heart. Stand you here a while and tremble not. You |
Tx:19.99 | to which everyone must come when he is ready. Once he has found his | brother, he is ready. Yet merely to reach the place is not enough. |
Tx:19.101 | This | brother who stands beside you still seems to be a stranger. You do |
Tx:19.103 | the worshipers of sin, know not Whom they attack. This is your | brother, crucified by sin, and waiting for release from pain. Would |
Tx:19.104 | forgive is free, and what you give you share. Forgive the sins your | brother thinks he has committed and all the guilt you think you see |
Tx:19.105 | until redemption is accomplished and received. Think who your | brother is before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that |
Tx:19.106 | to give. Into the hands that give the gift is given. Look on your | brother, and see in him the gift of God you would receive. It is |
Tx:19.107 | Free your | brother here, as I freed you. Give him the self-same gift, nor look |
Tx:20.5 | lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated thing to draw your | brother to you and to attract his body's eyes? Learn you but offer |
Tx:20.7 | and take it for their own. Here is the value that you lay upon your | brother and on yourself. Here is your gift to both; your judgment |
Tx:20.13 | Would you not have your holy | brother lead you there? His innocence will light your way, offering |
Tx:20.27 | as surely as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your | brother is the light of God's eternal promise of your immortality. |
Tx:20.29 | enter than can their source. And therein lies your need to see your | brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin in him instead, and Heaven |
Tx:20.32 | as they received. See, then, the power of sinlessness within your | brother and share with him the power of the release from sin you |
Tx:20.50 | from Him. But what you do not realize is what you fear within your | brother and would not see in him is what makes God seem fearful to |
Tx:20.61 | It is impossible to see your | brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as a body. Is this not |
Tx:20.62 | It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a | brother as a body is quite in keeping with the purpose of unholiness. |
Tx:20.65 | it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy | brother, sight of whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to |
Tx:20.66 | Your question should not be, “How can I see my | brother without the body?” Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him |
Tx:20.67 | but they will be enough to show you what is given you who see your | brother sinless. Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it |
Tx:20.68 | either means or end. All this is given you who would but see your | brother sinless. All this is given, waiting on your desire but to |
Tx:20.69 | one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your | brother sinless that Christ may rise before your vision and give you |
Tx:21.19 | rests. This was not given you. This was your gift to you and to your | brother. Be willing, then, to have it taken from him and be replaced |
Tx:21.27 | madness of its maker, and cannot serve to justify the madness. Your | brother thinks he made the world with you. Thus he denies creation. |
Tx:21.29 | is adjusted. Forget not this—to bargain is to set a limit, and any | brother with whom you have a limited relationship you hate. You may |
Tx:21.35 | the body has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your | brother free, removing hatred by removing fear, not as a symptom, but |
Tx:21.45 | This part has seen your | brother and recognized him perfectly since time began. And it desired |
Tx:21.59 | and you allow it not to do so, you deny it to yourself and to your | brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both will think that |
Tx:21.60 | Correction cannot be accepted or refused by you without your | brother. Sin would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you |
Tx:21.60 | would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you cannot see your | brother or yourself as sinful and still perceive the other innocent. |
Tx:21.63 | The body does not separate you from your | brother, and if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a |
Tx:21.64 | Reason will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your | brother nor yourself can be attacked alone. But neither can accept a |
Tx:21.67 | an instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your | brother, and learn with him what has been given both of you. To |
Tx:21.68 | what you must be. Your Father is as close to you as is your | brother. Yet what is there that could be nearer you than is your Self? |
Tx:21.71 | hate. They are indeed a sorry army, each one as likely to attack his | brother or turn upon himself as to remember they thought they had a |
Tx:22.28 | gladly is His vision given to anyone who is but willing to see his | brother sinless. And no one can remain beyond this willingness if you |
Tx:22.28 | of perfect purity, and God created it for you. Look on your holy | brother, sinless as yourself, and let him lead you there. |
Tx:22.36 | from you by what the body's eyes can see. Let your awareness of your | brother not be blocked by your perception of his sins and of his |
Tx:22.50 | seem to stand, heavy and solid and immovable, between you and your | brother. And not one that truth cannot pass over lightly and so |
Tx:23.16 | with Him. You are not strangers in the house of God. Welcome your | brother to the home where God has set him in serenity and peace and |
Tx:23.31 | Never is your possession made complete. And never will your | brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor will God end |
Tx:23.42 | a blessing and a sign the Voice for God speaks through you to your | brother? The wrapping does not make the gift you give. An empty box, |
Tx:23.42 | nor the giver is long deceived. Withhold forgiveness from your | brother, and you attack him. You give him nothing and receive of him |
Tx:24.7 | decisions. Here is the grand illusion of what you are and what your | brother is. And here is what must make the body dear and worth |
Tx:24.7 | defended. Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your | brother must become to keep your specialness is an illusion. He |
Tx:24.8 | Would it be possible for you to hate your | brother if you were like him? Could you attack him if you realized |
Tx:24.8 | And what decision can be made for this that will not hurt you? Your | brother is your friend because his Father created him like you. |
Tx:24.11 | is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God? You love your | brother not while it is this you would defend against him. This is |
Tx:24.18 | and one which brings release to both of you. Here stands your | brother with the key to Heaven in his hand held out to you. Let not |
Tx:24.21 | if He is not special, then He willed His Son be like Him, and your | brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything |
Tx:24.25 | The key you threw away God gave your | brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready |
Tx:24.31 | is barred to love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your | brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose Will it |
Tx:24.38 | and consider well, whether it is your wish that you might see your | brother sinless. To specialness the answer must be “no.” A sinless |
Tx:24.38 | brother sinless. To specialness the answer must be “no.” A sinless | brother is its enemy, while sin, if it were possible, would be its |
Tx:24.39 | you suffer pain of any kind, you have beheld some sin within your | brother and have rejoiced at what you thought was there. Your |
Tx:24.43 | it lead but to destruction? Yet think not that it looked upon your | brother first, nor hated him before it hated you. The sin its eyes |
Tx:24.47 | Son could never will that you be brotherless. And would He give a | brother unto you except he be as perfect as yourself and just as like |
Tx:24.49 | leave His own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your | brother, offered you that all your doubts about yourself may |
Tx:24.51 | has no meaning in eternity where He abides and you with Him. Your | brother is as He created him. And it is this that saves you from a |
Tx:24.53 | Look on your | brother and behold in him the whole reversal of the laws that seem to |
Tx:24.54 | and the world's, is set the shining memory of Him in Whom your | brother lives and you along with him. Let not your eyes be blinded by |
Tx:24.57 | you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while your | brother lies asleep, till what has been assigned to you is done and |
Tx:24.58 | of Him with equal love [and care]. The Christ in you can see your | brother truly. Would you decide against the holiness He sees? |
Tx:24.63 | The memory of God shines not alone. What is within your | brother still contains all of creation, everything created and |
Tx:24.72 | beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's Son, within your | brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in how they |
Tx:25.3 | and love to heal their minds. Such is the mission that your | brother has for you. And such it must be that your mission is for him. |
Tx:25.4 | the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your holy | brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ unto |
Tx:25.5 | The message and the messenger are one. And you must see your | brother as yourself. Framed in his body, you will see your sinfulness |
Tx:25.16 | as if a masterpiece were there to see? Yet if you see your | brother as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God |
Tx:25.19 | the darkness, see the savior from the dark and understand your | brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He will step forth |
Tx:25.20 | when any part of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. This | brother is His perfect gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when |
Tx:25.21 | Forgive your | brother, and you cannot separate yourself from him nor from his |
Tx:25.21 | who but extend His Will. It was for this you were created and your | brother with you and at one with you. |
Tx:25.22 | in will that you be made complete by offering completion to your | brother. See not in him the sinfulness he sees, but give him honor |
Tx:25.42 | hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look once again upon your | brother, not without the understanding that he is the way to Heaven |
Tx:25.45 | Will you behold your | brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He does not will your |
Tx:25.48 | His wish was not denied but changed in form to let it serve his | brother and himself and thus become a means to save instead of |
Tx:26.1 | of power in the name of saving just a little for yourself. To see a | brother in another body separate from yours is the expression of a |
Tx:26.3 | And to accept the limits of a body is to impose these limits on each | brother whom you see. For you must see him as you see yourself. |
Tx:26.4 | is a loss and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your | brother as a body, apart from you and separate in his cell, you are |
Tx:26.6 | of showing you that it has not been lost. Hear then the song your | brother sings to you. And let the world recede and take the rest his |
Tx:26.54 | Sins are beliefs which you impose between your | brother and yourself. They limit you to time and place and give a |
Tx:26.54 | and separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands between your | brother and yourself. It is the wish that you be joined with him and |
Tx:26.63 | because the truth is in your memory. And to this name, your | brother calls for his release and yours. Heaven is shining on the Son |
Tx:26.66 | in peace, where God would have you be, and be the means whereby your | brother finds the peace in which your wishes are fulfilled. Let us |
Tx:26.66 | And everything belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a | brother and his own. To get from one is to deprive them all. And yet |
Tx:26.77 | you must be from whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your | brother, that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your |
Tx:26.78 | one you cherish still? Forget not that a shadow held between your | brother and yourself obscures the face of Christ and memory of God. |
Tx:26.89 | You think your | brother is unfair to you because you think that one must be unfair to |
Tx:27.1 | on your path, or you will weave a crown of thorns from which your | brother and yourself will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself |
Tx:27.3 | unfairly treated, or in need of anything, you but accuse your | brother of attack upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your |
Tx:27.4 | seek to kill. Death seems an easy price if they can say, “Behold me, | brother; at your hand I die.” For sickness is the witness to his |
Tx:27.5 | what it represents. The bleak and bitter picture you have sent your | brother you have looked upon in grief. And everything that it has |
Tx:27.6 | Show this unto your | brother, who will see that every scar is healed and every tear is |
Tx:27.7 | speak for and represent. And each has many voices, speaking to your | brother and yourself in different tongues. And yet to both the |
Tx:27.10 | Your function is to [prove to] your | brother that sin can have no cause. How futile must it be to see |
Tx:27.11 | power to represent an endless life, forever unattacked. And to your | brother let its message be, “Behold me, brother; at your hand I live.” |
Tx:27.11 | unattacked. And to your brother let its message be, “Behold me, | brother; at your hand I live.” |
Tx:27.13 | the damaged have no grounds for peace. Who has been injured by his | brother and could love and trust him still? He has attacked and will |
Tx:27.14 | first establish sin and then forgive it. Who can say and mean, “My | brother, you have injured me, and yet because I am the better of the |
Tx:27.15 | done to you deserves no pardon. And by giving it, you grant your | brother mercy but retain the proof he is not really innocent. The |
Tx:27.16 | Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your | brother and yourself. You must attest his sins had no effect on you |
Tx:27.16 | be healed that you may be forgiving, offering salvation to your | brother and yourself. A broken body shows the mind has not been |
Tx:27.18 | his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear. | Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to |
Tx:27.18 | is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to show your | brother that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your blood is on his |
Tx:27.19 | they bestow an equal gift of full deliverance from guilt upon your | brother and yourself. Your healing saves him pain as well as you, and |
Tx:27.19 | with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see your | brother with no blood upon his hands nor guilt upon his heart made |
Tx:27.23 | in someone else. And thus does he become your victim, not your | brother, different from you in that he is more guilty, thus in |
Tx:27.26 | to its accuser, who hated it and hates it still. This is your | brother, focus of your hate, unworthy to be part of you and thus |
Tx:27.30 | You have decided that your | brother is a symbol for a “hateful-love,” a “weakened-power,” and |
Tx:27.31 | The picture of your | brother that you see means nothing. There is nothing to attack or to |
Tx:27.31 | What can the causeless be but nothingness? The picture of your | brother that you see is wholly absent and has never been. Let then |
Tx:27.34 | The picture of your | brother given you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and |
Tx:27.49 | upon the Friend who brought them their release. And happily your | brother will perceive the many friends he thought were enemies. |
Tx:27.52 | be proved to you by all the many different witnesses it finds. Your | brother first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind |
Tx:27.67 | this is where your guilt was first beheld. In separation from your | brother was the first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the |
Tx:27.72 | A | brother separated from yourself, an ancient enemy, a murderer who |
Tx:27.72 | murderer, the secret enemy, the scavenger and the destroyer of [the] | brother and the world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the |
Tx:27.73 | [A gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his | brother was his friend.] God willed he waken gently and with joy. And |
Tx:27.75 | Dream softly of your sinless | brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. And from this dream, |
Tx:27.76 | his Father, Whom you see as offering both life and death to you. | Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your brother |
Tx:27.76 | to you. Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your | brother offers represent the gifts you dream your Father gives to |
Tx:27.83 | is time made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a separate | brother as an enemy; a mind within a body, all are forms of |
Tx:27.85 | effects removed. Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My | brother, Holy Son of God, behold your idle dream in which this could |
Tx:27.90 | this that has maintained you separate from the world and kept your | brother separate from you. Now need you but to learn that both of |
Tx:28.22 | He gives himself the consequences which he dreams he gave his | brother. And it is but this the dream has put together and has |
Tx:28.30 | bodies which are separated and which cannot join. Do not allow your | brother to be sick, for if he is, have you abandoned him to his own |
Tx:28.35 | miracles. And where the gap was seen to stand between you, join your | brother there. And sickness will be seen without a cause. The dream |
Tx:28.39 | Like you, your | brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, |
Tx:28.39 | him as a mind in which illusions still persist, but as a mind which | brother is to you. He is not brother made by what he dreams, nor is |
Tx:28.39 | still persist, but as a mind which brother is to you. He is not | brother made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, |
Tx:28.39 | made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, your | brother. It is his reality that is your brother, as is yours to |
Tx:28.39 | “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his reality that is your | brother, as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in |
Tx:28.43 | be united with him. He has dream[ed] that he was separated from his | brother who, by sharing not his dream, has left the space between |
Tx:28.49 | upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will attack your | brother as a part of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are |
Tx:28.57 | self be lost. This is the secret vow which you have made with every | brother who would walk apart. This is the secret oath you take again, |
Tx:28.58 | oath to be forever faithful unto death. And by his healing is his | brother healed. |
Tx:28.62 | Either there is a gap between you and your | brother, or you are as one. There is no in between, no other |
Tx:29.1 | fail. All this do you believe, when you perceive a gap between your | brother and yourself. How could you trust Him, then? For He must be |
Tx:29.3 | seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that your | brother is your enemy. Sometimes a friend, perhaps, provided that |
Tx:29.22 | coming of the light means it is gone. In glory will you see your | brother then and understand what really fills the gap so long |
Tx:29.23 | create, but which you can extend. On earth this means forgive your | brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light |
Tx:29.29 | to be what they are for. A shadow figure who attacks becomes a | brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the function of |
Tx:29.30 | What is your | brother for? You do not know because your function is obscure to |
Tx:29.35 | lay bloody hands on Heaven itself and hope to find its peace? Your | brother thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn |
Tx:29.38 | How willing are you to forgive your | brother? How much do you desire peace instead of endless strife and |
Tx:29.52 | are for and why they have been made. An idol is an image of your | brother which you would value more than what he is. Idols are made |
Tx:29.55 | across the face of Christ because its purpose is to separate your | brother from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet a thought |
Tx:29.60 | make of Heaven less, to give you more than God bestowed upon your | brother and on you as one with Him? God gave you all there is. And |
Tx:30.37 | is healed. And now is God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your | brother as a friend. |
Tx:30.62 | again that what is his be given back to him. The gap between your | brother and yourself was never there. And what the Son of God knew |
Tx:30.68 | Be merciful unto your | brother, then. And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering |
Tx:30.73 | think of its Creator as it looks upon itself. If you can see your | brother merits pardon, you have learned forgiveness is your right as |
Tx:30.73 | you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your | brother does not merit. For it is the truth that you can merit |
Tx:30.77 | Look on your | brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a |
Tx:30.81 | Look on your | brother with this hope in you, and you will understand he could not |
Tx:30.87 | goal gives one interpretation, meaningful to you and to your | brother. Thus can you communicate with him and he with you. In |
Tx:30.90 | salvation from appearances by showing they can change. Your | brother has a changelessness in him beyond appearance and deception |
Tx:30.93 | happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to look upon your | brother thus. But not while you would have it otherwise in some |
Tx:30.93 | will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your | brother and in you. |
Tx:30.94 | there is not one appearance you would hold in place of what your | brother really is. Let no temptation to prefer a dream allow |
Tx:31.16 | and give away the role of leadership. And this is what you made your | brother for and learned to think that this his purpose is. Unless |
Tx:31.19 | The answer that I give my | brother is what I am asking for. And what I learn of him is what I |
Tx:31.20 | we thought we heard; remembering how much we do not know. This | brother neither leads nor follows us but walks beside us on the |
Tx:31.23 | Forgive your | brother all appearances, which are but ancient lessons that you |
Tx:31.24 | both may learn you love each other with a brother's love. And as a | brother, must his Father be the same as yours, as he is like yourself. |
Tx:31.26 | shortened by a span of time you cannot realize. You never hate your | brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever form his sins |
Tx:31.32 | to change, and there will be no ancient penalty exacted from your | brother or yourself. For God has said there is no sacrifice that |
Tx:31.40 | All choices in the world depend on this—you choose between your | brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he will lose, and |
Tx:31.40 | truth is this, when the lesson's purpose is to teach that what your | brother loses you have lost and what he gains is what is given |
Tx:31.48 | Here is the central lesson that ensures your | brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has now become his |
Tx:31.48 | silently, and yet with ceaseless urgency condemning still your | brother for the hated thing you are. |
Tx:31.51 | Let us consider then what proof there is that you are what your | brother made of you. For even though you do not yet perceive that |
Tx:31.52 | That you are what your | brother made of you seems most unlikely. Even if he did, who gave the |
Tx:31.52 | parts to what you think yourself to be. If one was generated by your | brother, who was there to make the other? And from whom must |
Tx:31.54 | was it that did the choosing first? If you are what you chose your | brother be, alternatives were there to choose among, and someone must |
Tx:31.55 | equal loss, for now you stand accused of guilt for what your | brother is. And you must share his guilt because you chose it for him |
Tx:31.69 | innocence, for you are too confused about yourself. But should one | brother dawn upon your sight as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then |
Tx:31.75 | to his care. And this he learns when first he looks upon one | brother as he looks upon himself and sees the mirror of himself in |
Tx:31.76 | for just one error—that there is a space between you and your | brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself which holds him off |
Tx:31.76 | of yourself that it may fight to keep the space that holds your | brother off unoccupied by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you |
Tx:31.77 | miserable and remain in hell and torment? Who has learned to see his | brother not as this has saved himself, and thus is he a savior to |
Tx:31.79 | longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you will behold your | brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of |
Tx:31.80 | The savior's vision is as innocent of what your | brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees |
Tx:31.87 | and each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My | brother, choose again.” He would not leave one source of pain |
Tx:31.96 | In joyous welcome is my hand outstretched to every | brother who would join with me in reaching past temptation and who |
W1:43.2 | perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his | brother and thus forgives himself. |
W1:69.1 | now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. He is your | brother in the light of the world which saves you both. |
W1:72.6 | hold insists that the body is real. It overlooks entirely what your | brother is. It reinforces your belief that he is a body and condemns |
W1:105.8 | My | brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and |
W1:105.12 | Determine not to interfere today with what He wills. And if a | brother seems to tempt you to deny God's gift to him, see it as but |
W1:105.12 | to let yourself receive the gifts of God as yours. Then bless your | brother thankfully, and say: |
W1:105.13 | My | brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and |
W1:107.10 | thought which gave the gift of life to Him as well. He is your | brother and so like to you your Father knows that you are both the |
W1:108.5 | correction will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one | brother wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these |
W1:109.10 | You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each | brother comes to take his rest and offer it to you. |
W1:110.8 | Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and | brother to the world—the savior who has been forever saved, with |
W1:110.8 | Him however lightly, asking for the Word that tells him he is | brother unto Him. |
W1:127.12 | I bless you, | brother, with the Love of God which I would share with you. For I |
W1:134.7 | guilt. It looks on them with quiet eyes and merely says to them, “My | brother, what you think is not the truth.” |
W1:134.9 | follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up to you. For if one | brother has received this gift of you, the door is open to yourself. |
W1:134.17 | Then choose one | brother as He will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as one by one |
W1:134.18 | the escape from all the heavy chains you sought to lay upon your | brother which were laid upon yourself. |
W1:151.7 | He will not tell you that your | brother should be judged by what your eyes behold in him, nor what |
W1:158.10 | well. This lesson is not difficult to learn if you remember in your | brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in sin, so must you be; |
W1:158.10 | you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each | brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ's |
W1:159.2 | as accomplished in yourself when you forgive. You recognize your | brother as yourself and thus do you perceive that you are whole. |
W1:160.10 | not remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies his | brother is denying Him and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight |
W1:161.4 | One | brother is all brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every |
W1:161.8 | Who sees a | brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he will attack |
W1:161.12 | Select one | brother, symbol of the rest, and ask salvation of him. See him first |
W1:161.16 | Be sure you use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a | brother and perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you will see |
W1:162.6 | And who would not be | brother to you now—you, his redeemer and his savior. Who could fail |
W1:R5.9 | My resurrection comes again each time I lead a | brother safely to the place at which the journey ends and is forgot. |
W1:R5.9 | at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each time a | brother learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am reborn each |
W1:181.1 | doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a | brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived |
W1:182.11 | against an enemy without existence. Christ has called you friend and | brother. He has even come to you to ask your help in letting Him go |
W1:183.6 | And should you join a | brother as you sit with him in silence and repeat God's Name along |
W1:184.8 | true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. When you call upon a | brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His true Identity is |
W1:187.9 | The lilies that your | brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer |
W1:187.10 | God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one | brother who is part of our One Self Whose innocence has joined us all |
W1:193.10 | and do not forget these words apply to everything you see or any | brother looks upon amiss. |
W1:195.3 | Your | brother is your “enemy” because you see in him the rival for your |
W1:195.4 | You do not offer God your gratitude because your | brother is more slave than you, nor could you sanely be enraged if he |
W1:196.1 | yourself. You will be free of the insane belief that to attack a | brother saves yourself. And you will understand his safety is your |
W1:200.1 | [181] I trust my brothers, who are one with me. No one but is my | brother. I am blessed with oneness with the universe and God, my |
W2:WF.1 | Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your | brother did to you has not occurred. It does not pardon sins and make |
W2:225.2 | Brother, we find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow | |
W2:231.2 | This is your will, my | brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One as well |
W2:247.1 | His sight shows me as the simple truth and I am healed completely. | Brother, come and let me look on you. Your loveliness reflects my |
W2:WIB.4 | the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his hand to reach his | brother and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body |
W2:274.1 | them and give Your Son the honor due his sinlessness, the love of | brother to his brother and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. |
W2:274.1 | Your Son the honor due his sinlessness, the love of brother to his | brother and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as |
W2:288.1 | way to You and brings me to my goal. I cannot come to You without my | brother. And to know my Source, I first must recognize what You |
W2:288.1 | cherish it within my heart or I will lose the way to walk to You. My | brother is my savior. Let me not attack the savior You have given me. |
W2:288.2 | today. And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your | brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be less holy than can I, |

Tx:20.41 | Your | brother's body is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is |

Tx:20.63 | Who sees a | brother's body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He does |
Tx:20.63 | to truth and always hidden from it. And here in darkness is your | brother's reality imagined as a body, in unholy relationships with |

Tx:24.27 | seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have given your | brother's birthright to it, leaving him alone and unforgiven and |
Tx:24.38 | its enemy, while sin, if it were possible, would be its friend. Your | brother's sins would justify itself and give it meaning that the |
Tx:24.42 | He sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His | brother's, and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing him what can |

Tx:27.21 | Who then fears healing? Only those to whom their | brother's sacrifice and pain are seen to represent their own |
Tx:27.25 | correct is only half the error, which you think is all of it. Your | brother's sins become the central target for correction, lest your |

Tx:1.29 | which I undertook to begin. When you offer a miracle unto any of my | brothers, you do it unto yourself and me. The reason you come |
Tx:1.33 | 27. A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my | brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive. |
Tx:1.47 | forgive in return. It is the duty of the released to release their | brothers. |
Tx:1.48 | of Atonement. Those released by Christ must join in releasing their | brothers, for this is the plan of the Atonement. Miracles are the way |
Tx:1.59 | 41. The miracle acknowledges all men as your | brothers and mine. It is a way of perceiving the universal mark of |
Tx:1.59 | Sons does not stem from exclusion but from inclusion. All my | brothers are special. If they believe they are deprived of anything, |
Tx:1.80 | on the one hand and as a Son of God on the other. My devotion to my | brothers has placed me in charge of the Sonship, which I can render |
Tx:1.80 | close to the Holy Spirit and alert to the revelation-readiness of my | brothers. I can thus bring down to them more than they can draw |
Tx:1.104 | into believing that we can relate in peace to God or to our | brothers with anything external.” |
Tx:3.63 | release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourselves and your | brothers totally without judgment. When you recognize what you and |
Tx:3.63 | totally without judgment. When you recognize what you and your | brothers are, you will realize that judging them in any way is |
Tx:4.90 | each other, and one moment of real recognition makes all men your | brothers because they are all of your Father. Love does not conquer |
Tx:4.91 | from me. God will come to you only as you will give Him to your | brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be ready to hear God as |
Tx:5.3 | You are being blessed by every beneficent thought of any of your | brothers anywhere. You should want to bless them in return out of |
Tx:5.29 | Hear only this through the Holy Spirit within you, and teach your | brothers to listen as I am teaching you. When you are tempted by the |
Tx:5.33 | by being given away. It increases in you as you give it to your | brothers. Since thoughts do not have to be conscious to exist, your |
Tx:5.55 | me. You will forsake yourselves and God if you forsake any of your | brothers. You are more than your brother's keeper. In fact, you do |
Tx:5.56 | opposing thoughts. The Holy Spirit does not let you forsake your | brothers. Therefore, you can really share only the parts of your |
Tx:5.73 | of His fairness, and let me teach you how to share it with your | brothers. How else can the chance to claim it for yourself be given |
Tx:5.91 | giving will heal you. Sanity is wholeness, and the sanity of your | brothers is yours. |
Tx:6.10 | therefore made it forever true for me. Help me to teach it to our | brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but first believe that it |
Tx:6.11 | My | brothers slept during the so-called “agony in the garden,” but I |
Tx:6.11 | not being at all in need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my | brothers do not share my decision to hear only one voice, because it |
Tx:6.15 | My | brothers and yours are constantly engaged in justifying the |
Tx:6.27 | solely a device of the ego to make you feel different from your | brothers and separated from them. The ego justifies this on the |
Tx:6.28 | only to distort your perception both of yourself and your | brothers. The process begins by excluding something [you think] |
Tx:6.28 | which you do not want and leads directly to excluding you from your | brothers. We have learned, however, that there is another use of |
Tx:6.48 | with it, and the ego feels badly in need of allies though not of | brothers. Perceiving something alien to itself in your mind, the ego |
Tx:7.27 | in need of allies. You who are not at war must look for | brothers and recognize all whom you see as brothers, because |
Tx:7.27 | at war must look for brothers and recognize all whom you see as | brothers, because only equals are at peace. |
Tx:7.28 | they cannot compete. Yet if they perceive any of their | brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the idea of |
Tx:7.29 | because it is a reflection of perfect Thought. It sees only | brothers, because it sees only in its own light. |
Tx:7.38 | ego has induced in you by not recognizing its existence in your | brothers. This strengthens the Holy Spirit in both of you, because |
Tx:7.47 | The unhealed healer wants gratitude from his | brothers, but he is not grateful to them. This is because he thinks |
Tx:7.51 | To forget me is to forget yourself and Him Who created you. Our | brothers are forgetful. That is why they need your remembrance of |
Tx:7.52 | learn of the truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all our | brothers, and as we see them truly, they will be healed. Let your |
Tx:7.77 | are deprived. Give therefore of your abundance and teach your | brothers theirs. Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you |
Tx:7.79 | you have been treacherous to your Creator, it believes that your | brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are out to take |
Tx:7.92 | The Soul knows that the consciousness of all its | brothers is included in its own, as it is included in God. The |
Tx:7.97 | are reflections both of your own proper identification with your | brothers and of your own awareness that your identification is |
Tx:7.112 | You do not know your creations, because you do not know your | brothers, who created them with you. We said before that only the |

Tx:9.38 | it, He must have made it possible and very easy to obtain it. Your | brothers are everywhere. You do not have to seek far for salvation. |
Tx:9.38 | will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your | brothers? |
Tx:9.75 | the remembrance of Him awakens throughout the Sonship. Heal your | brothers simply by accepting God for them. |
Tx:9.78 | you. To obtain this you are willing to attack the divinity of your | brothers and thus lose sight of yours. And you are willing to keep |
Tx:9.84 | other gods before Him. You can give up the god of sickness for your | brothers; in fact, you would have to do so if you give him up for |
Tx:9.91 | a Son of God who has laid aside all false gods and who calls on his | brothers to do likewise. It is an act of faith, because it is the |
Tx:9.94 | it is the message you want. You may believe that you judge your | brothers by the messages they give you, but you have judged |
Tx:9.94 | of the spark that brings depression, and whenever you see your | brothers without it, you are denying God. |
Tx:9.99 | He created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your | brothers, and God will come rushing into your heart in gratitude for |
Tx:10.24 | wanders homelessly. At home in God, he is lonely, and amid all his | brothers, he is friendless. Would God let this be real if He did |
Tx:10.30 | All your | brothers must enter with you, for until you have accepted them, |
Tx:10.32 | remembering that it is yours because it is His, and join with your | brothers in His peace. |
Tx:10.35 | If your | brothers are part of you and you blame them for your deprivation, |
Tx:10.60 | join in the resurrection or the crucifixion? Would you condemn your | brothers or free them? Would you transcend your prison and ascend |
Tx:10.88 | laughs happily at his own fear. You, my children, are afraid of your | brothers and of your Father and of yourselves. But you are merely |
Tx:10.89 | again when they are frightened. It is not the reality of your | brothers or your Father or yourself which frightens you. You do not |
Tx:11.15 | of yourself is thus the way to remember God. For you forgot your | brothers with Him, and God's answer to your forgetting is but the |
Tx:11.27 | Recognize what does not matter, and if your | brothers ask you for something “outrageous,” do it because it does |
Tx:11.43 | yourself as weakened. No longer perceiving yourself and all your | brothers as equal and regarding yourself as weaker, you attempt to |
Tx:11.71 | Yet in that same place, you could have looked upon me and all your | brothers in the perfect safety of the mind which created us. For we |
Tx:12.18 | of Him. You will find this place of truth as you see it in your | brothers, for though they may deceive themselves, like you they long |
Tx:12.27 | In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you will react to your | brothers as though they were someone else, and this will surely |
Tx:12.34 | never real, for they are made up only of his reactions to his | brothers and do not include their reactions to him. Therefore he |
Tx:12.36 | Yet what is within they do not see, for the reality of their | brothers they cannot see. |
Tx:12.37 | the figures of fear you have invited into it, and all the love your | brothers offer you, you do not see. As you look with open eyes upon |
Tx:12.40 | You will see all that you denied in your | brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you will love them, |
Tx:12.46 | holding it in your minds, see it as a dark cloud that shrouds your | brothers and conceals their reality from your sight. |
Tx:12.51 | The present offers you your | brothers in the light that would unite you with them and free you |
Tx:12.52 | salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach out to all your | brothers and touch them with the touch of Christ. In timeless union |
Tx:12.52 | There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is whole. Call all your | brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am calling you to join |
Tx:12.53 | Shine on your | brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you will remember Him as |
Tx:12.56 | of isolation because your eyes are closed. You do not see your | brothers, and in the darkness you cannot look upon the light you gave |
Tx:12.75 | that is the gift of God. Hold me dear, for what except your | brothers can you need? We will restore to you the peace of mind |
Tx:12.75 | a veil of light across the world's sad face, in which we hide our | brothers from the world, and it from them. |
Tx:13.8 | When you have seen your | brothers as yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having |
Tx:13.8 | light you saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your | brothers will be returned to you. And knowing that the light is |
Tx:13.9 | As miracles in this world join you to your | brothers, so do your creations establish your fatherhood in Heaven. |
Tx:13.16 | make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your | brothers. For so you learn that it is true for you. Remember always |
Tx:13.18 | you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you look upon your | brothers and see the guilt in them. Yet this you cannot do without |
Tx:13.18 | this you cannot do without remaining blind. For those who see their | brothers in the dark, and guilty in the dark in which they shroud |
Tx:13.23 | meaning in the present. Yet you let them stand between you and your | brothers, with whom you find no real relationships at all. Can you |
Tx:13.23 | you find no real relationships at all. Can you expect to use your | brothers as a means to “solve” the past and still to see them as they |
Tx:13.23 | as they really are? Salvation is not found by those who use their | brothers to resolve problems which are not there. You wanted not |
Tx:13.28 | not remember your Father's Love. And looking without mercy upon your | brothers, you do not remember how much you love Him. Yet it is |
Tx:13.59 | into the darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it shines, your | brothers see it, and realizing that this light is not what you have |
Tx:13.62 | Him in the holy task of bringing light to darkness. For, like your | brothers, you do not realize the light has come and freed you from |
Tx:13.63 | Behold your | brothers in their freedom and learn of them how to be free of |
Tx:15.13 | on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give it to your | brothers on behalf of theirs. For the instant of holiness is |
Tx:15.18 | you. You who have spent days, hours, and even years in chaining your | brothers to your egos in an attempt to support it and uphold its |
Tx:15.18 | of strength. In the holy instant, you will unchain all your | brothers and refuse to support either their weakness or your own. |
Tx:15.19 | You do not realize how much you have misused your | brothers by seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result, they |
Tx:15.53 | the frame of reference you have built by which to judge your | brothers. Once this is gone, the Holy Spirit substitutes His frame of |
Tx:15.54 | Yet in the holy instant, you unite directly with God, and all your | brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no way |
Tx:15.57 | doubt. But forget not that my faith must be as perfect in all your | brothers as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In |
Tx:15.60 | The holy instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your | brothers in your mind, experiencing not loss, but completion. From |
Tx:15.64 | God is remembered, and the language of communication with all your | brothers is remembered with Him. For communication is remembered |
Tx:15.64 | vanishes. And this permits your Source and that of all your | brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of God |
Tx:15.85 | As the ego would limit your perception of your | brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision |
Tx:15.94 | attraction for you. For in our union, you will accept all of our | brothers. The gift of union is the only gift that I was born to give. |
Tx:15.101 | safety by attempting to protect yourself from where it is not. Your | brothers and your Father have become very fearful to you. And you |
Tx:15.104 | with God. Through guilt you exclude your Father and your | brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them back and |
Tx:15.108 | The lesson I was born to teach and still would teach to all my | brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For |
Tx:16.37 | with them is without guilt, and this enables you to look on all your | brothers with gratitude because your creations were created in union |
Tx:16.63 | the only value which the body has is to enable you to bring your | brothers to the bridge with you and to be released together there. |
Tx:16.78 | that must be forgiven are the illusions you have held against your | brothers. Their reality has no past, and only illusions can be |
Tx:16.78 | anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any kind. Release your | brothers from the slavery of their illusions by forgiving them for |
Tx:17.1 | but awakened. In his dreams he has betrayed himself, his | brothers, and his God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been |
Tx:17.26 | My holy | brothers, I would enter into all your relationships and step between |
Tx:17.26 | be real to you, and let me bring reality to your perception of your | brothers. They were not created to enable you to hurt yourselves |
Tx:18.10 | the holy place in which you stand together. God is with you, my | brothers. Let us join in Him in peace and gratitude and accept His |
Tx:19.37 | try to impose. Others will seem to arise from elsewhere—from your | brothers and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet peace |
Tx:19.39 | from Him. You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see your | brothers truly. And the light in them will show you all that you need |
Tx:19.41 | of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, stand between your | brothers and salvation? And yet, it is this little remnant of |
Tx:19.85 | the life that He created against the ego's savage wish to kill. My | brothers, children of our Father, this is a dream of death. There |
Tx:19.101 | all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives way to fear. | Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you will share in |
Tx:20.26 | free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my friends, my | brothers, and my Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the |
Tx:20.34 | only to have His laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their | brothers. Think you when this has been achieved that you will rest |
Tx:20.49 | and seeks for crumbs to keep itself alive. Here it would drag its | brothers, holding them here in its idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for |
Tx:20.51 | seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to shake and loosen. | Brothers, you tremble with them. Yet what you fear is but the herald |
Tx:21.7 | so it is with all who see the body as all they have and all their | brothers have. They try to reach each other, and they fail and fail |
Tx:21.34 | wills for you. You made perception that you might choose among your | brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception |
Tx:21.36 | Those who would free their | brothers from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the |
Tx:21.36 | to let all limitations be removed. Desiring to look upon their | brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far beyond |
Tx:21.37 | for this is how they think their purpose is accomplished. | Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He |
Tx:21.43 | to bother to pretend it is your friend. Those who have joined their | brothers have detached themselves from their belief that their |
Tx:22.1 | to make a different error, and one the other cannot understand. | Brothers, it is the same, made by the same, and forgiven for its |
Tx:22.2 | them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their | brothers different from themselves. It is this difference, seen but |
Tx:22.12 | Think what is given you, my holy | brothers. This child will teach you what you do not understand and |
Tx:23.10 | Brothers, the war against yourself is almost over. The journey's end | |
Tx:23.36 | And when you look at what they say, they cannot be believed. | Brothers, you do believe them. For how else could you perceive the |
Tx:23.40 | Brothers, take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken | |
Tx:24.24 | here but unto you and you alone, apart and separate from all your | brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity upon illusions, safe |
Tx:24.46 | that holds your brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds all His | brothers in Himself. He gives them vision for their sightless eyes |
Tx:25.8 | understand. Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your | brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His Father never have been |
Tx:25.85 | Unless you think that all your | brothers have an equal right to miracles with you, you will not claim |
Tx:27.15 | really innocent. The sick remain accusers. They cannot forgive their | brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom true forgiveness |
Tx:28.34 | of the world. The door is open, not to thieves but to your starving | brothers who mistook for gold the shining of a pebble and who stored |
Tx:28.61 | The beautiful relationship you have with all your | brothers is a part of you because it is a part of God Himself. Are |
Tx:29.50 | making real the pictures it projects outside itself? Save time, my | brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a |
Tx:29.67 | over. And the forms which enter in the dream are now perceived as | brothers, not in judgment but in love. |
Tx:30.63 | When | brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at |
Tx:30.88 | so seemingly unsafe that fear must rise. Do not continue thus, my | brothers. We have one Interpreter. And through His use of symbols |
Tx:30.88 | the same to all of us. Our common language lets us speak to all our | brothers and to understand with them forgiveness has been given to us |
Tx:31.84 | the saviors of the world, or would remain in hell and hold your | brothers there. |
Tx:31.93 | in you unveil his eyes and let him look upon the Christ in him. My | brothers in salvation, do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my |
Tx:31.94 | thorny roads we traveled on before the Christ appeared. Hear me, my | brothers, hear and join with me. God has ordained I cannot call in |
Tx:31.95 | I thank You, Father, for these holy ones who are my | brothers as they are Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as |
Tx:31.96 | can You fail in what is but Your Will? I give You thanks for what my | brothers are. And as each one elects to join with me, the song of |
W1:57.6 | of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the world with my | brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep |
W1:73.2 | to traffic in grievances and stand between your awareness and your | brothers' reality. Beholding them, you do not know your brothers nor |
W1:73.2 | and your brothers' reality. Beholding them, you do not know your | brothers nor your Self. |
W1:95.17 | will be. You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your | brothers in this Self, united with your Father in His Will. |
W1:97.11 | you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him and God, your | brothers and your Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak |
W1:105.7 | will start a little differently. Begin today by thinking of those | brothers who have been denied by you the peace and joy that are their |
W1:106.5 | today. Today allow your Father's ancient pledge to you and all your | brothers to be kept. Hear Him today, and listen to the Word which |
W1:109.9 | You rest within the peace of God today and call upon your | brothers from your rest, to draw them to their rest along with you. |
W1:109.10 | them come from far across the world, and near as well—your distant | brothers and your closest friends—bid them all enter here and rest |
W1:124.13 | Let me remember I am one with God, at one with all my | brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness and peace. |
W1:126.11 | aim which makes this day of special value to yourself and all your | brothers. Do not let your mind forget this goal for long, but tell |
W1:127.10 | Now are they all made free along with us. Now are they all our | brothers in God's Love. |
W1:132.19 | You need not realize that healing comes to many | brothers far across the world as well as to the ones you see near by |
W1:134.14 | practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all our | brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share with them. |
W1:135.21 | until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our | brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them |
W1:137.17 | When I am healed, I am not healed alone. And I would bless my | brothers, for I would be healed with them as they are healed with me. |
W1:139.9 | Fail not your | brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them that they may |
W1:139.12 | are all minds as one and in our memory is the recall how dear our | brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how |
W1:153.11 | It is the function of God's ministers to help their | brothers choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have |
W1:153.11 | For you will not see the light until you offer it to all your | brothers. As they take it from your hands, so will you recognize it |
W1:153.21 | the love and strength and peace that shine from them to all their | brothers come from Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness |
W1:155.7 | All this steps back as truth comes forth in you to lead your | brothers from the ways of death and set them on the way to happiness. |
W1:155.9 | to walk ahead of truth and let illusions be your guide. Your holy | brothers have been given you to follow in your footsteps as you walk |
W1:155.11 | not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our | brothers who will follow us. |
W1:155.13 | Son. Forget not He has placed His hand in yours and given you your | brothers in His trust that you are worthy of His trust in you. He |
W1:155.13 | your pathway certain and your goal secure. You will not fail your | brothers nor your Self. |
W1:161.4 | One brother is all | brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one. Such |
W1:164.6 | Brothers, this day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you | |
W1:170.14 | from You alone. We choose again and make our choice for all our | brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your salvation |
W1:R5.10 | our time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our | brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as |
W1:181.1 | Trusting your | brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in |
W1:181.7 | It is not this that I would look upon. I trust my | brothers, who are one with me. |
W1:183.1 | gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. His | brothers share his name, and thus are they united in a bond to which |
W1:185.13 | He with you. And you will also know you share one will with all your | brothers, whose intent is yours. |
W1:190.6 | My holy | brothers, think of this awhile—the world you see does nothing. It |
W1:191.12 | the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to bring your weary | brothers rest? |
W1:195.7 | Then let our | brothers lean their tired heads against our shoulders as they rest a |
W1:199.8 | practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your | brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along |
W1:200.1 | [181] I trust my | brothers, who are one with me. No one but is my brother. I am |
W2:247.2 | So would I look on everyone today. My | brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and gave them |
W2:260.1 | again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my | brothers and myself today. |
W2:263.2 | pass them by in innocence and walk together to our Father's house as | brothers and the holy Sons of God. |
W2:264.2 | My | brothers, join with me in this today. This is salvation's prayer. |
W2:276.2 | Your Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all my | brothers, who are given me to cherish as my own, as I am loved and |
W2:315.2 | gifts that come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My | brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now may I offer them |
W2:316.1 | As every gift my | brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. Each one |
W2:317.1 | will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my | brothers and already mine as well. |
W2:324.1 | loving Voice will always call me back and guide my feet aright. My | brothers all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow |
W2:325.1 | home where he can rest a while before he journeys on and help his | brothers walk ahead with him and find the way to Heaven and to God. |
W2:344.1 | give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven | brothers fill my store with Heaven's treasures, which alone are real. |
W2:WAI.3 | And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as | brothers and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not |
W2:WAI.4 | world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our | brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy. |
W2:FL.2 | that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many | brothers who are seeking for the way but find it not. |
M:4.13 | is impossible. Judgment implies that you have been deceived in your | brothers. How then could you not have been deceived in yourself? |
M:4.13 | for who could judge otherwise? Without judgment are all men | brothers, for who is there who stands apart? Judgment destroys |
M:5.9 | merely give what has been given them. Very gently they call to their | brothers to turn away from death. Behold, you Son of God, what life |
M:5.10 | truth in their minds reaches out to the truth in the minds of their | brothers, so that illusions are not reinforced. They are thus brought |
M:19.3 | All concepts of your | brothers and yourself, all fears of future states, and all concern |
M:23.6 | one who has become a true and dedicated teacher of God forgets his | brothers. Yet what he can offer them is limited by what he learns |
A Course of Love (115) | ||
C:P.10 | is for. Your recognition of your Self and your recognition of your | brothers and sisters is what the world is for. To stop before this is |
C:P.20 | hell, between your separated self and union with God and all your | brothers and sisters. You prefer to think a good deed here, a bit of |
C:3.15 | free you beyond your deepest imaginings and free your sisters and | brothers as well. Once one such concept is felled, others follow |
C:4.11 | Your expectations and false perceptions of your | brothers and sisters are what have caused you to believe that love |
C:7.13 | Totally unaware, you too are subject to these whims of your | brothers and sisters, and find at times pieces of yourself scattered |
C:7.14 | special, always at another's expense. All your efforts to best your | brothers and sisters are thus: all competition, all envy, all greed. |
C:9.49 | Despite your bravest attempts to remain separate, you must use your | brothers and sisters in order to even maintain the illusion of your |
C:10.13 | find really difficult to believe is that you are in union with your | brothers and sisters, right now, today. To believe in God without |
C:11.17 | that will never leave you empty again as it extends from you to your | brothers and sisters. Love is all that will not leave you wanting. |
C:13.1 | of the first. In this exercise you will begin to realize that your | brothers and sisters are not their bodies, any more than you are |
C:14.1 | The purpose of the life you share here with your | brothers and your sisters has been to challenge God's creation. Now |
C:14.10 | Much more is demanded of those you love than of any of your other | brothers and sisters. The more that is required is all to feed your |
C:15.10 | of your diligence and something that will not leave behind your | brothers and your sisters to a life of suffering and of sin. |
C:16.6 | for you would see no difference between yourself and your | brothers and sisters. Your judgment began with your own self, and |
C:17.13 | because you wandered. It has been held for you by the most loving of | brothers, a brother united with your own Self. |
C:19.7 | only part. Fulfillment can be provided by each and every one of your | brothers and sisters, for in each is the Christ available to be seen |
C:19.8 | with expectation and so found in me what they hoped to find. What my | brothers and sisters saw in me allowed me to be who I was, even while |
C:19.8 | while in human form. I tell you truly if you were to see any of your | brothers and sisters today as those who awaited my birth saw me, they |
C:19.9 | Each one of your | brothers and sisters is as holy as I and as beloved to God. Can you |
C:19.10 | through union. Here, union is achieved in relationship. To see your | brothers and sisters as those of long ago saw me is the way to |
C:19.10 | This is why you have been asked to experience the spirit of your | brothers and sisters rather than simply relating to their bodies as |
C:19.12 | Your belief in your | brothers and sisters will not be total, however, without the reunion |
C:19.12 | with the Christ. You thus must learn to see yourself as you see your | brothers and sisters, and place your belief not in differences but in |
C:19.20 | My | brothers and sisters in Christ, do not become impatient now. We are |
C:20.32 | “They know not what they do,” I was expressing the nature of my | brothers and sisters as caused by fear. To accept your power and your |
C:20.43 | lacking. It releases you from judgment because you know that your | brothers and sisters are also beings of perfection. When you begin to |
C:20.44 | You will find you are welcome to all the gifts you recognize in your | brothers and sisters just as you freely will offer yours to serve |
C:21.9 | you to unity and to true communication or communion with your | brothers and sisters in Christ. Your brothers and sisters in Christ |
C:21.9 | or communion with your brothers and sisters in Christ. Your | brothers and sisters in Christ is an expression that has always been |
C:25.5 | is hidden from you, because receiving completes giving. Each of your | brothers and sisters are love inviolate. What each gives is |
C:25.10 | then all action will be in harmony. If you believe you and your | brothers and sisters are here in a state of reprisal, having fallen |
C:25.14 | of their true identity. Invulnerability will then serve you and your | brothers and sisters. Its service is one of conquering fear and |
C:26.5 | Do not be afraid. My | brothers and sisters in Christ, realize that there is no cause for |
C:29.5 | and your ability to be of quite literal service to God and your | brothers and sisters. |
C:31.17 | My dear | brothers and sisters, what you truly are cannot be improved upon. But |
C:31.28 | Self, knowing not what it is you seek, so too do you look to your | brothers and sisters and all else that lives along with you. But when |
C:31.29 | If you can look for your Self within your | brothers and sisters, however, they must also be able to look for |
C:31.29 | in you. If you are constantly reflecting back what you think your | brothers and sisters want to see, they can learn nothing from you. If |
C:31.30 | seeking wholeness. And you are even correct in seeking it from your | brothers and sisters—just not in the way you perceive of it. |
C:31.36 | As you interact with your | brothers and sisters, you seek to get to know them. You do this so |
C:31.36 | go on from there to shared experiences. You also seek to know your | brothers and sisters so that you will come to know what to expect |
T1:10.6 | reason. But you can now be an observer and look upon them as your | brothers and sisters learning choice without choosing to return to |
T1:10.6 | God within you. As you live in peace you can be an example to your | brothers and sisters, an example that says there is another way. |
T1:10.15 | all. For in this going out you come home and bring with you all the | brothers and sisters you have brought to peace. Go in peace to love |
T1:10.15 | of love and peace that is our eternal home. Welcome home my | brothers and sisters in Christ. Welcome home. |
T2:4.6 | You are no longer confined to the conditions of separation, my dear | brothers and sisters, and this is what it is time for you to learn. |
T2:10.13 | is shared, first by mind and heart, and then in unity with your | brothers and sisters. You achieve this state only by listening to one |
T2:12.7 | as a gift and treasure you are able to give in service to your | brothers and sisters. |
T2:12.12 | to live your life and the call you are asked to sound to all your | brothers and sisters. |
T2:12.13 | and in every circumstance. Let these abilities serve you and your | brothers and sisters. Let this way of living be the expression of who |
T2:13.5 | me to aid you, as I call upon you to assist me in calling all of our | brothers and sisters to their return to unity. We call to one another |
T3:2.6 | one, unaltered Self that is the truth of who you are and who your | brothers and sisters are as well. This is what is meant by oneness. |
T3:8.1 | power would be to leave the world in its present condition and your | brothers and sisters scrambling in the dust. The work that is upon |
T3:8.4 | hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you feel towards God and | brothers and sisters both alive and dead. |
T3:11.12 | that you cannot begin to think of yourself as different than your | brothers and sisters. All exist in the House of Truth. The house of |
T3:11.12 | illusion exists within the House of Truth because it is where your | brothers and sisters think they are. The house of illusion is not a |
T3:11.13 | You must not see your | brothers and sisters within the house of illusion but must see them |
T3:11.15 | how the lessons of the illusion can be useful in a new way to your | brothers and sisters as well. Never forget that what was made for |
T3:18.4 | those who observe your expression. Further, your observance of your | brothers and sisters will return remembrance to their minds and |
T3:18.4 | and hearts. It is, in fact, your observance of the truth of your | brothers and sisters that is the miracle we have stated as our new |
T3:18.5 | I repeat, your observance of the truth of your | brothers and sisters is the miracle. |
T3:18.6 | disease, poverty, conflict and sadness will be no more real to your | brothers and sisters than it is to you. |
T3:20.15 | My dear | brothers and sisters in Christ, let nothing call you to return to the |
T3:21.16 | being and as such incapable of truly understanding or knowing your | brothers and sisters, those whose personal selves and world view |
T4:1.23 | world. You have not known the secret yearning in the hearts of your | brothers and sisters, nor have you known that it matched your own. |
T4:2.7 | truth of who you are is as accomplished as the truth of all of your | brothers and sisters from the beginning of time until the end of |
T4:2.17 | The power to observe what is is what will keep you unified with your | brothers and sisters rather than separating you from them. There is |
T4:2.20 | you remember this, blessed sons and daughters of the most high? Your | brothers and sisters are as holy as your Self. Holiness is the |
T4:2.28 | This state of union is what differentiated me from my | brothers and sisters at the time of my life on earth. Because my |
T4:2.28 | me to exist in union and relationship with all, I could see my | brothers and sisters “in Christ” or in their true nature. I saw them |
T4:6.3 | on another. But I say to you that any scenario that separates my | brothers and sisters from one another and the one life-giving energy |
T4:6.5 | It excludes no one and no one's choice and no one's vision. Your | brothers and sisters who do not choose their natural state still are |
T4:6.5 | natural state still are who they are and holy as yourself. Your | brothers and sisters who choose alternative visions are still who |
T4:6.6 | There is room in the universe, dear | brothers and sisters, for everyone's choice. I call you to a new |
T4:6.6 | full realization that your choice alone will affect millions of your | brothers and sisters, as long as—and this is a crucial as long as— |
T4:7.3 | realize the many choices that will seem to lie before you and your | brothers and sisters in this time. The understanding of the unity |
T4:8.17 | Learning, dear | brothers and sisters, does come to an end, and that end is fast |
T4:9.9 | a service cherished by God, and who have risen in the esteem of your | brothers and sisters, be beacons now to the new. You who have gained |
T4:9.9 | of your honor? Be willing to be the forerunners still, to join your | brothers and sisters in this next phase of the journey, the journey |
T4:11.3 | Can I teach you to do this? My dear | brothers and sisters in Christ, as you once willingly resigned as |
T4:11.5 | what I reveal to you must be regarded as the equal sharing between | brothers and sisters in Christ, the sharing of fellow creators in |
T4:12.1 | Welcome, my new | brothers and sisters in Christ, to the creation of the future through |

T4:12.19 | I know you still have questions, dear | brothers and sisters. I know that you will experience times of not |
T4:12.31 | is communicated through our dialogues and those you share with your | brothers and sisters, is simply communication of what already is. |
T4:12.35 | What will the future hold? It is up to us dear | brothers and sisters. It is up to us acting as one body, one mind, |
D:1.1 | Dear | Brothers and Sisters in Christ, |
D:2.22 | Within is where the real world and all your | brothers and sisters exist in the unity of Christ-consciousness. |
D:2.23 | in is to show the way, to cast your palms upon the path of your | brothers and sisters. Do you not see that your acceptance of this |
D:3.2 | My dear | brothers and sisters in Christ, this is the call you have heard for |
D:3.15 | instance, of this dialogue. You are a representation of all of your | brothers and sisters in Christ. You are a representation of the |
D:3.22 | These are your ideas as well as mine. They are the ideas of your | brothers and sisters as much as they are of God. I am teaching you |
D:4.1 | world, for you are one, if not the same. As you are new, so are your | brothers and sisters, for they, too, are one, if not the same. |
D:4.30 | you joy. Invite yourself first to this new world, but leave not your | brothers and sisters behind. Invite them too. For those who are |
D:4.31 | Dear | brothers and sisters in Christ, I hear your protests and the reasons |
D:11.2 | in all the others? To think of these Dialogues in this way, dear | brothers and sisters, is insane. To think of the thought or idea of |
D:11.13 | that I know who you are and that they give the same evidence to your | brothers and sisters that I know who they are, will tell you |
D:Day2.23 | spent upon the mountain, and continued with my joining with my | brothers and sisters, with the bringing of light to darkness, power |
D:Day3.19 | issue is something you only imagine to be greater than that of your | brothers and sisters. A few of you will not feel this, and if you are |
D:Day3.19 | for whom this dialogue is meant, the power of this aspect of your | brothers and sisters lives, and the power and function of anger. |
D:Day4.38 | than your fear. Love needs to reign. Love of self and love of your | brothers and sisters, love of the natural world, of the world of form |
D:Day4.57 | accomplishment that has always existed within you and all of your | brothers and sisters. |
D:Day6.26 | do here that you do. And what's more, you feel the eagerness of your | brothers and sisters. If you felt our goal was unlikely to be |
D:Day8.24 | power to observe what is, is what will keep you unified with your | brothers and sisters rather than separating you from them. There is |
D:Day10.22 | point of these two great objectives coming together in you and your | brothers and sisters. |
D:Day10.24 | read in these dialogues comes from your own heart and those of your | brothers and sisters in Christ as it does from me. It comes, in |
D:Day10.33 | My dear | brothers and sisters in Christ, turn your thoughts not to ideals of |
D:Day10.33 | and effect that will change the world by returning you, and all your | brothers and sisters, to who they are in truth. This cannot be done |
D:Day19.5 | realize the power of reflection, they wonder why they, unlike their | brothers and sisters called to “do,” do not have a specific part to |
D:Day19.13 | it into the web of reality, anchoring it for discovery by their | brothers and sisters. |
D:Day19.14 | mirrors of the truth they discover, reflecting the way to their | brothers and sisters. This is why this is not a place or state of |
D:Day39.46 | the bridge to me. I am the bridge to you. You are the bridge to your | brothers and sisters. They are your bridge to yourself. You will also |

Tx:2.66 | therefore unamenable to independent learning. It is, however, easily | brought into alignment with a mind which has learned to look beyond |
Tx:2.72 | the unimportant to a higher level than it warrants. You have thus | brought it under your will, where it does not belong. This means |
Tx:2.75 | is not. You should ask instead for help in the conditions which have | brought the fear about. These conditions always entail a separated |
Tx:2.106 | understand it. Judgment is not an essential attribute of God. Man | brought judgment into being only because of the separation. After the |
Tx:3.64 | his happier dreams. Nothing that you have refused to accept can be | brought into awareness. It does not follow that it is dangerous, |
Tx:4.64 | used to attack or protect, to hurt or to heal. The ego should be | brought to your judgment and found wanting there. Without your own |
Tx:4.65 | and only this must be. His Mind shone on you in your creation and | brought your mind into being. His Mind still shines on you and must |
Tx:4.101 | which would clearly be impossible, but He does want revelation | brought to others. This cannot be done with the actual revelation |
Tx:6.45 | well, it would be glad, as the Holy Spirit will be glad when He has | brought you home and you no longer need His guidance. The ego does |
Tx:8.5 | its purpose, are you satisfied with the changes your learning has | brought you? Dissatisfaction with learning outcomes must be a sign of |

Tx:10.51 | the ego's goal, which you have pursued quite diligently, has [only] | brought you fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that fear |
Tx:12.55 | unlimited and spreads across this world in quiet joy. All those you | brought with you will shine on you, and you will shine on them in |
Tx:12.55 | shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because they | brought you here. Your light will join with theirs in power so |
Tx:13.37 | is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever | brought even a dim imagining of what it is. |
Tx:14.19 | The light of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they are | brought together, the truth of one must make the falsity of its |
Tx:14.24 | knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both. Opposites must be | brought together and not kept apart. For their separation is only in |
Tx:14.24 | when knowledge dawns. Perception is the medium by which ignorance is | brought to knowledge. Yet the perception must be without deceit, for |
Tx:14.26 | was not a point of view, but rather a certainty. Uncertainty | brought to certainty does not retain any conviction of reality. |
Tx:14.27 | are both maintained. It has been recognized that if they were | brought together their joint acceptance would become impossible. |
Tx:14.32 | not power from your mind, but let all that would hide your glory be | brought to the judgment of the Holy Spirit and there undone. Whom He |
Tx:14.33 | and His Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And nothing | brought there that is not equally worthy of both but will be replaced |
Tx:14.35 | You may choose to lead yourselves astray, but you can only be | brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He will surely |
Tx:14.36 | for truth. And truth will make this plain to you as you are | brought into the place where you must meet with truth. And there |
Tx:14.37 | for nothing can coexist beside it. Here your meager offerings are | brought together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the |
Tx:14.45 | forth. Its one response is healing, without regard for what is | brought to it. Those who have learned to offer only healing because |
Tx:14.61 | a condition in which seeing becomes impossible. You who have not yet | brought all of the darkness you have taught yourselves unto the light |
Tx:14.62 | is yours. But to accomplish this, all your dark lessons must be | brought willingly to truth and joyously laid down by hands open to |
Tx:14.69 | And every fear or pain or trial you have has been undone. He has | brought all of them to light, having accepted them instead of you |
Tx:15.101 | your thoughts and the Thought that has been given you. When they are | brought together and perceived where they are, the choice between |
Tx:15.103 | as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain will be | brought to us and disappear in our presence, and without pain there |
Tx:16.17 | The power of holiness and the weakness of attack have both been | brought into awareness. And this has been accomplished in minds |
Tx:16.17 | whenever you have listened to His interpretation, the results have | brought you joy. Would you prefer the results of your |
Tx:16.19 | to solve anything yourself and been successful. Is it not time you | brought these facts together and made sense of them? |
Tx:17.6 | outside the truth to Him who knows the truth and in Whom all is | brought to truth. [Salvation from separation will be complete or will |
Tx:17.7 | you remember that made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever | brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring |

Tx:17.21 | in His undoing is the separation more and more undone and union | brought closer. He is not at all confused by any “reasons” for |
Tx:17.40 | when both are seen in relation to each other. The dark picture | brought to light is not perceived as fearful, but the fact that it is |
Tx:17.40 | perceived as fearful, but the fact that it is just a picture is | brought home at last. And what you see there, you will recognize as |
Tx:17.60 | helps you meet it. It is quite noticeable that this approach has | brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and |
Tx:17.66 | at all concerned with that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness | brought to faith will never interfere with truth. But faithlessness |
Tx:18.4 | it once was one and still is what it was. That one error, which | brought truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was |
Tx:18.6 | and upside-down arose from this? [It was inevitable.] For truth | brought to this could only remain within in quiet and take no part |
Tx:18.11 | love. Heaven has entered quietly, for all illusions have been gently | brought unto the truth in you and love has shined upon you, blessing |
Tx:18.13 | you with the glowing purpose in which you join. The holy light that | brought you together must extend, as you accepted it. |
Tx:18.30 | of bringing light to darkness. The darkness in you has been | brought to light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy instant to |
Tx:18.30 | light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy instant to which you | brought it. We are made whole in our desire to make whole. Let not |
Tx:18.79 | but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The love they | brought with them will stay with them, as it will stay with you. |
Tx:18.85 | it. Be you not separate, for the One Who does surround it has | brought union to you, returning your little offering of darkness to |
Tx:18.97 | from the world of shadows, and its unholy purpose has been safely | brought through the barriers of guilt, washed with forgiveness, and |
Tx:19.1 | attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is | brought to truth by faith. This faith encompasses everyone |
Tx:19.4 | Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's purpose and | brought illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And |
Tx:19.7 | be, are recognized as dedication to illusion and given up when | brought to truth and seen as totally irreconcilable with truth in any |
Tx:19.22 | But if the mistake is given the status of truth, to what can it be | brought? The “holiness” of sin is kept in place by just this strange |
Tx:19.22 | this strange device. As truth it is inviolate, and everything is | brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to |
Tx:19.22 | is brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be | brought to truth. It is impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is |
Tx:19.36 | Here is the rest that waits for all after the journey. And it is | brought nearer to all by your relationship. |
Tx:19.64 | paid very dearly for your illusions, and nothing you have paid for | brought you peace. Are you not glad that Heaven cannot be |
Tx:19.97 | and learn it has no power to keep you from the truth. The Guide Who | brought you here remains with you, and when you raise your eyes, |
Tx:19.98 | in a holy instant has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who | brought us here together will offer you the innocence you need and |
Tx:20.37 | Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time | brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of |
Tx:20.41 | while you look upon each other thus, the means and end have not been | brought in line. Why should it take so many holy instants to let this |
Tx:20.58 | said much about discrepancies of means and end and how these must be | brought in line before your holy relationship can bring you only joy. |
Tx:20.63 | are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are illusions never | brought to truth and always hidden from it. And here in darkness is |
Tx:20.72 | upon with vision falls gently into place according to the laws | brought to it by His calm and certain sight. The end for everything |
Tx:20.76 | for all the terrifying sights and screaming sounds the ego's purpose | brought to your horrified awareness. They step away from sin, |
Tx:21.18 | exchange effected and maintained. Here is the world you do not want | brought to the one you do. And here the one you do is given you |
Tx:22.14 | For what is time to what was always so? Think what that instant | brought—the recognition that the “something else” you thought was |
Tx:22.27 | will has no exceptions, and what it wills is true. Every illusion | brought to its forgiveness is gently overlooked and disappears. For |
Tx:23.15 | See how the conflict of illusions disappears when it is | brought to truth! For it seems real only as long as it is seen as war |
Tx:23.19 | The “laws” of chaos can be | brought to light, though never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly |
Tx:23.21 | Errors of any kind can be corrected because they are untrue. When | brought to truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. |
Tx:24.4 | in secret, where the results of conflict are kept unknown and never | brought to reason to be considered sensible or not. And many |
Tx:24.30 | They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for all illusions to be | brought to them and left behind. Salvation challenges not even death. |
Tx:25.14 | on grounds that it will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never | brought before? |
Tx:25.19 | will see the dark no more. The darkness touched him not, nor you who | brought him forth for you to look upon. His sinlessness but pictures |
Tx:25.22 | have one purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His Will is | brought together as you join in will that you be made complete by |
Tx:25.36 | mistaken for a little while. How better could your own mistakes be | brought to truth than by your willingness to bring the light of |
Tx:26.19 | it is apart from time. Here is the meeting-place where thoughts are | brought together—where conflicting values meet and all illusions |
Tx:26.20 | This is because knowledge makes no attack upon perception. They are | brought together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness |
Tx:26.21 | of God believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must be | brought to the last comparison that he will ever make, the last |
Tx:26.33 | one illusion still remains unanswered in your mind. Uncertainty was | brought to certainty so long ago that it is hard indeed to hold it to |
Tx:26.47 | is denied, it goes. For it is gone as soon as the idea which | brought it has been healed and been replaced by sanity. Sickness and |
Tx:26.48 | known. What is perceived takes many forms, but none has meaning. | Brought to truth, its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept apart |
Tx:26.52 | lost His Mind, proclaiming sin has taken His reality from Him, and | brought His love at last to vengeance's heels. For such an insane |
Tx:26.61 | The miracle is possible when cause and consequence are | brought together, not kept separate. The healing of effect without |
Tx:26.68 | beyond your minds, you think of it as time. The nearer it is | brought to where it is, the more you think of it in terms of space. |
Tx:26.73 | out can seem to take forever. The change of purpose the Holy Spirit | brought to your relationship has in it all effects that you will see. |
Tx:26.90 | threatening, and not a trace of all the happy sparkle that salvation | brought can you perceive to lighten up your way. And so you see |
Tx:26.90 | in a futile world. The world is fair because the Holy Spirit has | brought injustice to the light within, and there has all unfairness |
Tx:27.37 | is the holy instant. It is here that all your problems should be | brought and left. Here they belong, for here their answer is. [And |
Tx:27.37 | answer cannot be. Yet just as surely it must be resolved if it is | brought to where the answer is. |
Tx:27.49 | will call forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you who | brought the sight to them by which they witnessed it. The world of |
Tx:27.49 | replaced by one in which all eyes look lovingly upon the Friend who | brought them their release. And happily your brother will perceive |
Tx:27.51 | Your healing will extend and will be | brought to problems that you thought were not your own. And it will |
Tx:27.62 | to a dream of punishment in which the dreamer is unconscious of what | brought on the attack against himself, he sees himself attacked |
Tx:28.5 | dead, are stored within it, waiting your command that they be | brought to you and lived again. And thus do their effects appear to |
Tx:28.36 | the more is left for all the rest to share. The Guests have | brought unlimited supply with Them. And no one is deprived or can |
Tx:29.14 | His Presence brings can be obtained. For they are where He is Who | brought them with Him that they might be yours. You cannot see your |
Tx:29.14 | be yours. You cannot see your Guest, but you can see the gifts He | brought. And when you look on them, you will believe His Presence |
Tx:30.24 | of being right when you are wrong. Thus is the readiness for asking | brought to your awareness, for you cannot be in conflict when you ask |
Tx:30.52 | but toys, my children. Do not grieve for them. Their dancing never | brought you joy. But neither were they things to frighten you nor |
Tx:30.54 | But you will understand that mighty changes have been quickly | brought about when you decide one very simple thing—you do not |
Tx:30.62 | Thus is the real world's purpose gently | brought into awareness, to replace the goal of sin and guilt. And all |
Tx:30.67 | There never was a time an idol | brought you anything except the “gift” of guilt. Not one was bought |
Tx:31.72 | behalf, remember what the concept of yourself which now you hold has | brought you in its wake, and welcome the glad contrast offered you. |
Tx:31.86 | of Christ in you is given charge of everything you do. For you have | brought your weakness unto Him, and He has given you His strength |

W1:80.4 | peace that must be ours when the problem and the answer have been | brought together. The problem must be gone because God's answer |

W1:107.6 | no defense, and therefore no attack is possible. Illusions can be | brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth stands far beyond |

W1:138.10 | when it is raised from its protective shield of unawareness and is | brought to light. Who can decide between the clearly seen and the |
W1:138.11 | what has nothing but an appearance of the truth. Its pseudo-being, | brought to what is real, is flimsy and transparent in the light. It |
W1:159.8 | of forgiveness set their roots. This is their home. They can be | brought from here back to the world, but they can never grow in its |
W1:159.9 | with added fragrance. Now are they twice blessed. The messages they | brought from Christ have been delivered and returned to them. And |
W1:162.5 | perfect holiness you now accept. With this acceptance is salvation | brought to everyone, for who could cherish sin when holiness like |

W1:R5.10 | Release me as you practice once again the thoughts I | brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter need and knows the |
W1:186.5 | from the imprisonment your plan to prove the false is true has | brought to you. Accept the plan you did not make instead. Judge not |
W1:193.16 | the day. And try to give it application to the happenings the hour | brought, so that the next one is free of the one before. The chains |
W1:194.2 | hell, all blackness of depression, thoughts of sin, and devastation | brought about by guilt. Accept today's idea, and you have released |
W1:198.15 | And we are glad that we have come this far and recognize that He Who | brought us here will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the |

M:5.10 | their brothers, so that illusions are not reinforced. They are thus | brought to truth, and truth is not brought to them. So are they |
M:5.10 | are not reinforced. They are thus brought to truth, and truth is not | brought to them. So are they dispelled, not by the will of another |
M:6.1 | Healing is always certain. It is impossible to let illusions be | brought to truth and keep the illusions. Truth demonstrates illusions |

C:2.15 | leave you and to never leave you comfortless. The Holy Spirit has | brought what comfort you would accept to your troubled mind. Now turn |
C:2.18 | mind too rejoiced in the learning of all the teachings that have | brought you here, congratulating itself on a feat that brought it |
C:2.18 | that have brought you here, congratulating itself on a feat that | brought it rest. It is from this rest that the heart begins to be |
C:3.8 | Into this rank confusion is | brought a simple statement: Love is. Never changing, symbolizing only |
C:4.2 | False idols must be | brought to light and there seen as the nothing that they are before |
C:4.10 | thoughts have reviewed and reviewed again all the pain that love has | brought. It dwells on those occasions when love has failed because it |
C:4.24 | is and keep it not set apart from life any longer. Love cannot be | brought to the world of madness, nor the world of madness brought to |
C:4.24 | cannot be brought to the world of madness, nor the world of madness | brought to love. But love can allow a new world to be seen, a world |
C:5.13 | armies. What armies of destruction will rock the world when they are | brought to love? |
C:7.10 | illusion is no more. Truth has no need of your protection, for truth | brought to illusion shines its light into the darkness, causing it to |
C:10.12 | you were! If you are wrong, at least you believed in something that | brought you comfort and in the end did you no harm. |
C:12.10 | This is the one disjoining that your choice for separation | brought about, and it is but a separation from your Self. This is the |
C:12.19 | in any way. While the idea of taking an adventurous vacation when | brought to fruition might reshape the life of the one participating |
C:14.11 | Whatever the relationship's configuration, it was one that truly | brought you joy. Within it you were happy and felt as if you needed |
C:14.30 | And as soon as love is attached to a particular, love's opposite is | brought into existence. While you refuse to look upon this simple |
C:19.16 | and words you will apply word and thought to. Yet love has often | brought you close to a “thought-less” and “word-less” state of being, |
C:22.16 | Imagine yourself | brought to such a halt and examined apart from everything else within |
C:26.22 | no plot. This would be the same as saying that there was no idea | brought to completion within the pages or on the film. In God's idea |
C:28.2 | it is not meant to be thus. How, then, you might ask, is the truth | brought to those still living in illusion? |
C:28.3 | when a certain magnitude of belief occurs, evolutionary steps are | brought about. This, however, is not about evolutionary steps, and so |
C:28.4 | chosen to be prophets, and the plethora of testimony taking place is | brought about by innocence more so than by wisdom. This sharing of |
C:31.20 | Who you are is love, and all things | brought to love are seen in a new light, a light that keeps what you |

T1:8.5 | Word as the Word is I Am, the Word is Life Eternal. My resurrection | brought about the Word made flesh in each of you. You who have come |
T1:9.2 | as you are in truth, the union of each. The end of separation that | brought about the resurrection brought about this union and the |

T2:3.7 | a continuous and on-going expansion of the same thought of love that | brought life into existence. The seeds of creation exist in |
T2:3.8 | continuous and on-going expansion of the same thought of love that | brought life into existence. Christ is your identity in the broadest |
