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

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

W1:123.1  pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought of turning  back and no implacable resistance to the truth. A bit of wavering

W1:184.10  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

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: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: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

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:19.71  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: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: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: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

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: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

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

T2:7.21  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.

T3:4.1  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.

T3:21.9  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

T4:10.1  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: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: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

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:14.47  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:15.60  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:15.91  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: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:17.19 The “ideal” of the unholy relationship thus  becomes one in which the reality of the other does not enter at all

Tx:17.19  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  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.
W1:184.1  by symbols. You have made up names for everything you see. Each one  becomes a separate entity, identified by its own name. By this you
W1:184.3 What are these names by which the world  becomes a series of discrete events, of things un-unified, of bodies
W1:184.10  you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world  becomes a transitory phase—a prison house from which you go into
W1:184.12 God has no name. And yet His Name  becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this single
W1:185.3 Two minds with one intent become so strong that what they will  becomes the Will of God. For minds can only join in truth. In dreams
W1:189.10  which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it  becomes a part of Heaven now. Amen.
W1:190.5  accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now  becomes a source of innocence and holiness.
W1:190.8  over love and time replace eternity and Heaven. And the world  becomes a cruel and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and little
W1:192.5  think that it will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger  becomes impossible, and where is terror then? What fears could still
W1:193.10  words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and death  becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these
W1:194.2  the door to freedom on it. You are saved, and your salvation thus  becomes the gift you give the world because you have received.
W1:194.5  freed from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss,  becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage of illusions
W1:194.6  much consistent effort as you can to make it be a part of you. As it  becomes a thought which rules your mind, a habit in your
W1:195.9  about without a thought or care for us or for our future. Gratitude  becomes the single thought we substitute for these insane
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
W1:213.1  to me in place of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him  becomes the way I am set free. And so I choose to learn His lessons
W2:249.1 Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss  becomes impossible, and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and
W2:249.1  suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world  becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is
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
W2:WIHS.2  as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it,  becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the Eternal
W2:296.2  today what we would learn and that alone. And so our learning goal  becomes an unconflicted one and possible of easy reach and quick
W2:313.2  me today. We save the world when we are joined. For in our vision it  becomes as holy as the light in us.
W2:315.1  gift and takes it as its own. And everyone who finds the way to God  becomes my savior, pointing out the way to me and giving me his
W2:343.1  You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice  becomes impossible for me as well as You. I too must give, and so all
W2:350.1 What we forgive  becomes a part of us as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God
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:7.6  result of conflicting wishes. Be sure of what you want, and doubt  becomes impossible.
M:9.2  His answer, and it is this he follows as his guide for action. This  becomes easier and easier as the teacher of God learns to give up his
M:12.1  learning is complete suffices. This One, sanctified and redeemed,  becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always wholly
M:12.3  Which gave them. They need a medium through which communication  becomes possible to those who do not realize that they are spirit. A
M:12.5  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 die.
M:13.3 Once this confusion has occurred, it  becomes impossible for the mind to understand that all the
M:14.2 Until forgiveness is complete, the world does have a purpose. It  becomes the home in which forgiveness is born and where it grows and
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  although it remains important throughout the learning process,  becomes less and less emphasized. At the outset, we can safely say
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:19.5  does it judge, and this alone. Here all attack and condemnation  becomes meaningless and indefensible. Perception rests, the mind is
M:21.3  what does not exist or seeks for illusions in his heart, all this  becomes his own. The power of his decision offers it to him, as he
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
M:27.7  to die has but been misperceived and carried to illusion. Now it  becomes your task to let the illusion be brought to the truth. Be

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: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:19.35  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:31.94  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

W1:16.3  but equally unreal. We will practice this idea in many forms  before you really understand it.

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

W1:81.4  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

W1:104.7 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

W1:131.15 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

W1:140.2  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

W1:151.15 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

W1:200.3  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.3  whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid  before it and the memory of God not far behind.
W2:251.1  in that one is all I need and only what I need. All that I sought  before I needed not and did not even want. My only need I did not
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.

W2:300.1  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: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.

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

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

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

T4:7.3  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

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:12.6  allow. The urgent need for your return to unity has been mentioned  before, and I remind you of this urgency again.
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:13.5  knowing. You will realize that you know something you did not know  before in form, that it is important, monumental even; but you will
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:17.8 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:Day3.27  headed even beyond desire, and know that desire must first be met  before you can be taken beyond it.
D:Day3.29  type of learning, be it philosophy, math, or foreign languages,  before you could learn how to make money, or in other words, to have
D:Day3.38  always that knowing through discovery is knowing what was not known  before, and keep this in mind as we consider the knowing of abundance.
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:Day3.50  and actions at this stage will be tinged with the anger that came  before it. Here is where you may rail at the unfairness, at the

D:Day4.7  your attention to the learning of childhood. Learning begins long  before the onset of the time of language that constitutes your ideas
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:Day4.36  and desire. We acknowledged that your desire is stronger than ever  before. Now is the time to focus on this desire and fulfillment, to
D:Day4.51 To be called to make a new choice  before full acceptance of what is would be confusing. You who are
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:Day10.3 We have talked  before of conviction and your willingness to, like the apostles, let
D:Day10.12  adept in doing something in a way different than you have done it  before than to do something completely new. This is because old
D:Day10.12  new. This is because old patterns or habits must be done away with  before achievement of a new way is possible.
D:Day10.14  you now still look for reassurances and proof that you are “right”  before you feel confidence and the ability to act. To “know” before

T1:3.12  for the return to unity, the urgency of the need to leave fear  behind. Can you not, from this one example of your fear of miracles,
T1:3.13 This too is a means of unlearning. How can you leave  behind all you fear without seeing all you fear for what it is and
T1:3.14  will be asked to make this final choice, this choice to leave fear  behind for good and to become who you are.
T1:3.24  in each of these scenarios and the reasoning or lack of reasoning  behind them? You are not worthy. You are not saintly, godlike or even
T1:10.12 The extremes that we are talking of leaving  behind are extremes of reaction to a chosen lesson. What you are
T1:10.12  of reaction to a chosen lesson. What you are being asked to leave  behind is the need for such lessons. If you have learned the
T2:1.4  that despite having learned much about the need to leave judgment  behind, you judge your desire to be other than you are now, including
T2:10.16  learning for certain circumstances that would be quickly put  behind you or chosen for specific outcomes. While many love to learn
T2:11.2  continue to do battle with the ego rather than leaving it forever  behind.
T3:2.6 We leave all of this  behind now as we advance toward truth through returning to original

T3:2.13  happily congratulating yourself on leaving such adolescent thinking  behind, this thinking must be quickly replaced with a new idea about

T3:6.5  part of your reality that it must, like the ego, be consciously left  behind.
T3:6.6  as well as all of your reasons for bitterness, and bitterness itself  behind. Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling place of Christ
T3:8.5  The choice that hasn't been made is the choice to leave this idea  behind. The choice that has been made is to believe in a savior who

T3:14.10  this is not so. You must choose to leave this blaming of yourself  behind, no matter what it is you feel you have need to blame yourself
T3:14.11  has been mighty. The choice now is not a choice to explore the why  behind it or to look for remedies for the past. The choice now is
T3:16.15  specialness. A key aid in helping you to put this temptation  behind you is the idea of the holy relationship in which all exist in

T4:9.4 But now the time is upon you to leave learned works  behind in favor of observation, vision and revelation. Now is the
T4:9.4  of observation, vision and revelation. Now is the time to leave  behind study for imagining, envisioning, and desire. Now is the time
T4:9.7  that has advanced your progress. But now be willing to leave them  behind.
T4:9.9  study and your sharing of the same may find it difficult to leave it  behind. A choice made by you to stay with learning rather than to

T4:10.14 Those of you willing to leave learning  behind will create the new. This will not happen through learning but
T4:10.14  but an extension of the past. You who are called to leave learning  behind are called to return to your union and relationship with God
T4:11.2 The future depends on you who are willing to leave learning  behind and who are willing to accept your new roles as creators of

T4:12.13  this not a good example of the learned wisdom that needs to be left  behind? But what of the questions it raises? Do you not respond to
T4:12.13  temptations of the human experience. Are you willing to leave them  behind? Are you willing, for instance, to leave behind the idea that

D:8.3 All of these ideas we leave  behind as we concentrate instead on the very simple idea of each of
D:12.13  primary ideas that will assist you in leaving patterns of thinking  behind is the idea that thought as we are describing it, the thought
D:14.14  not, even though it is the more subtle memory of this state that is  behind your striving to become. Now you are beginning to see the
D:15.21 Let this idea enter you now. You have left  behind the conditions of learning. Why? Because they are no longer

D:Day1.4  states you value. To marry one man you must choose to leave others  behind. This is required. This does not mean the married woman will

D:Day3.11 Let us return for a minute to the base idea  behind the issue of money or abundance: the way you have learned. The
D:Day3.12  which we will speak more of here. It is the base idea that is  behind all ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly learned during

D:Day4.55  not have. You are asked but to accept your own homecoming. To leave  behind the time of wandering, seeking, learning. To leave behind fear
D:Day4.55  To leave behind the time of wandering, seeking, learning. To leave  behind fear for the embrace of the love and safety of your true home.
D:Day4.59 Join me in this choice, and we will leave  behind the old and continue our movement toward creation of the new.

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:13.13 The world can give you only what you gave it, for  being nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning apart from

Tx:13.76  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: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: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:21.67  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: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:27.63 Now you are  being shown you can escape. All that is needed is you look upon the
Tx:27.83  you thought you did. Except that now you think that what you did is  being done to you. The guilt for what you thought is being placed
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:29.9  find a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be lost by  being found?
Tx:29.11  have accepted healing's Cause, and so it must be you are healed. And  being healed, the power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle

Tx:29.34  they have left their hold on every vain illusion of the world. And  being empty, they received instead a brother's hand in which
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:29.56  It merely lifts the veil and lets the truth shine unencumbered,  being what it is. It does not need belief to be itself, for it has

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
Tx:30.70  to attack that has been made. And thus is pardon inappropriate, by  being granted where it is not due.
Tx:30.71  a real attack that calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in  being asked to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to

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:6.1  the impossibility of doing so. You have to forgive yourself for  being what you are, a being who exists only in relationship. You have
C:6.1  of doing so. You have to forgive yourself for being what you are, a  being who exists only in relationship. You have to forgive all others

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: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: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: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: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: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: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

T1:4.6  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

T4:3.6  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

T4:5.1  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  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:7.14  Being in love is a definition of what you now are as you accept the

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:8.6  cannot be figured out! Surprises are meant to be joyous gifts  being constantly revealed. Gifts that need only be received and

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: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:13.9  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:14.17 This wholeness of  being is what lies beyond body and mind, form and time. Becoming the

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:15.4 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:16.6  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:16.11  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:Day15.26  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: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  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:Day38.8  one's own Self. This has been called the tension of opposites, of  being one's own Self and being one in union and relationship. These
D:Day38.8  been called the tension of opposites, of being one's own Self and  being one in union and relationship. These opposites, like all
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:Day38.14  only from love, which is the source and substance of who we are  being. I Am being you. You are being me. In this equation is fullness
D:Day38.14  love, which is the source and substance of who we are being. I Am  being you. You are being me. In this equation is fullness of being,
D:Day38.14  source and substance of who we are being. I Am being you. You are  being me. In this equation is fullness of being, which is love.
D:Day38.14  I Am being you. You are being me. In this equation is fullness of  being, which is love.
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:Day39.9 Being in union is  being all. Being in union and relationship requires individuation,
D:Day39.9 Being in union is being all.  Being in union and relationship requires individuation, and
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:Day39.33 Everyone has a god because everyone has a  being and an identity for that being. Everyone carries the memory of
D:Day39.33  has a god because everyone has a being and an identity for that  being. Everyone carries the memory of I Am.
D:Day39.35 Only that which is by nature without attributes can be one in  being in union and relationship and individuate. Could you become
D:Day39.37  you are and who I Am, because who you are and who I Am are the same  being in the constant creative tension of differentiating from one
D:Day39.38  and eternity, between the attributeless love and the attribute laden  being. Between the one being of love and the many beings of form,
D:Day39.38  attributeless love and the attribute laden being. Between the one  being of love and the many beings of form, between love's extension
D:Day39.41  time of becoming behind, why you stand ready to enter the time of  being in union and relationship. The Christ in you is the
D:Day39.48  creating, we are constantly coming to know anew. This is eternity. A  being in time wants to be known in time but can only be known in
D:Day40.1 Through your extension of your  being into union, you complete a circuit, a circle of wholeness, and
D:Day40.2 All that  being is was extended into who you are.
D:Day40.3  are available, I would like you to understand that when I am love  being, I am being without attributes—love being in union and
D:Day40.3  I would like you to understand that when I am love being, I am  being without attributes—love being in union and relationship. I am
D:Day40.3  that when I am love being, I am being without attributes—love  being in union and relationship. I am the anchor that holds all that
D:Day40.3  within the embrace of the attributelessness of love. This is why my  being has been capable of accepting your projections—because I am
D:Day40.3  capable of accepting your projections—because I am attributeless  being. I am love, being.
D:Day40.3  your projections—because I am attributeless being. I am love,  being.
D:Day40.4  you in my image. I created you in love because it is the nature of a  being of love to extend. Realize that it is only when being is added
D:Day40.4  nature of a being of love to extend. Realize that it is only when  being is added to love—only when love is in relationship with being
D:Day40.4  when being is added to love—only when love is in relationship with  being—that love is given its nature. Realize that it is only when
D:Day40.4  nature. Realize that it is only when love is in relationship with  being that it attains this quality that we are calling extension.
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:Day40.5  into form, as a being in relationship. The application of your  being to relationship, like the application of being to love, gives
D:Day40.5  application of your being to relationship, like the application of  being to love, gives relationships their nature, including your
D:Day40.6 Through the application of your  being to relationship you have taken on distinguishers through which
D:Day40.6  on distinguishers through which you became a different or distinct  being, a being different or distinct from who I am, and who others
D:Day40.6  through which you became a different or distinct being, a  being different or distinct from who I am, and who others are. These
D:Day40.6  from who I am, and who others are. These are the attributes of your  being, what you might call your personality or even who you are. As
D:Day40.6  who you are. As has been said before, you saw these attributes of  being as making you separate rather than distinct from who I am being
D:Day40.6  of being as making you separate rather than distinct from who I am  being and who others are being. Your attempt at individuation and
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:Day40.11  no conditions, no nature. It simply is. It was said earlier that  being is as Love is. This was a reference to my being, to my being
D:Day40.11  said earlier that being is as Love is. This was a reference to my  being, to my being love. I have reconfirmed this statement and said I
D:Day40.11  that being is as Love is. This was a reference to my being, to my  being love. I have reconfirmed this statement and said I am the
D:Day40.11  within the embrace of the attributelessness of love. This is why my  being has been capable of accepting your projections—because I am
D:Day40.11  capable of accepting your projections—because I am attributeless  being. I am love, being. But in being God, as in being human, being
D:Day40.11  your projections—because I am attributeless being. I am love,  being. But in being God, as in being human, being takes on
D:Day40.11 —because I am attributeless being. I am love, being. But in  being God, as in being human, being takes on attributes. As was said
D:Day40.11  I am attributeless being. I am love, being. But in being God, as in  being human, being takes on attributes. As was said earlier, this was
D:Day40.11  being. I am love, being. But in being God, as in being human,  being takes on attributes. As was said earlier, this was meant to
D:Day40.11  the individuation process rather than the process of separation. In  being God, I Am. In being love there is no I Am, but only love being.
D:Day40.11  rather than the process of separation. In being God, I Am. In  being love there is no I Am, but only love being.
D:Day40.11  In being God, I Am. In being love there is no I Am, but only love  being.
D:Day40.12 Does this help you understand? Help you understand that you are  being, and that you are also being some one? You have been being
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:Day40.12  you are being, and that you are also being some one? You have been  being separate—a separate being with attributes. Now you are being
D:Day40.12  are also being some one? You have been being separate—a separate  being with attributes. Now you are being in union and relationship—
D:Day40.12  been being separate—a separate being with attributes. Now you are  being in union and relationship—an individuated being with
D:Day40.12  Now you are being in union and relationship—an individuated  being with attributes. As a separate being, your attributes were
D:Day40.12  relationship—an individuated being with attributes. As a separate  being, your attributes were based on fear. As a being in union and
D:Day40.12  As a separate being, your attributes were based on fear. As a  being in union and relationship, your attributes are based on love.
D:Day40.14 The difference between you and me is that I am  being God and also love, being. This is why I am all and nothing, the
D:Day40.14  difference between you and me is that I am being God and also love,  being. This is why I am all and nothing, the attribute-laden God and
D:Day40.17  Separately from relationship, there is no I Am, but only love,  being.
D:Day40.20  that its self, as well as its God, must be separate from what it is  being. It doesn't understand, until joining with the Christ Self,
D:Day40.22 As a separate  being, you have been in a relationship with fear. This relationship
D:Day40.23  end your separated state and become for the final time. You “become”  being in union and relationship.
D:Day40.25  with some insensitivity toward yourself, especially that of  being “left out,” unrecognized, or unwelcome: “Don't you know that I
D:Day40.25  this now, as you contemplate leaving behind who you have been for  being who you are to me?
D:Day40.27  become less difficult if you remember who I Am? That I Am everything  being love? This is not the same as saying you are who you are in
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
D:Day40.34  ground—to the place of completion and demonstration of who you are  being?
E.1  alchemy has occurred. The coal has become a diamond. Ah, imagine now  being able to forget all ideas of self-improvement, imagine how much
E.2  gone, never to be asked again. Why? Because now that you are  being who you are in unity and relationship, these questions will
E.9  carry this knowing within yourself, this is how long the eternity of  being will be for you. There is no one to turn out the lights but

E.13 What you “realize” now you truly “make real” as your  being applies love's extension to all with whom you are in

E.20  all thoughts and notions of becoming. If you hang on to them, your  being will not have the chance to realize and make real its being.
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.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.

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

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

W1:99.5  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

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:23.23  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: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: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

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.

T2:11.7  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
T2:12.1  thinking. You have been made ready for this correction and your  belief in correction, or atonement, is the final belief that must be
T2:12.1  correction and your belief in correction, or atonement, is the final  belief that must be put into practice.

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
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
T3:8.8 Remaining attached to bitterness is a reflection of the  belief that one person, and surely not you, can make a difference. If
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
T3:21.17  exists in separation, this would seem impossible. Even while your  belief system has changed and you believe that you exist in unity,
T3:21.17  that divides you from those “opposite” you, unity will seem like a  belief only.

D:16.3  is the belief that what animated form with life did not remain. The  belief that in the passing through, a relationship did not form. But

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

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

T3:16.6  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

Tx:6.40  From this, which you have made, you have taught yourselves to  believe that you are not what you are. You cannot teach what
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:17.8  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:21.37 Those who  believe in sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for

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:23.9  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:23.36 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:23.45 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:24.43  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  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:25.42  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:25.55 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:25.67  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

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

W1:87.5  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

W1:92.1  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

W1:101.1  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,

W1:126.2 Let us consider what you do  believe in place of this idea. It seems to you that other people are

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

W1:133.12 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  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

W1:152.2 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

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:2.8  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:2.21 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:3.10  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: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: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: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: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  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

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.
T2:6.9  it for yourself. You must create it for yourself only because you  believe you replaced what was already accomplished with what you
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.”
T3:13.4  is important now as you will create the new according to what you  believe to be the truth and translate into ideas.
T3:13.7  practice today and every day by simply refusing the temptation to  believe in concepts such as earning and paying. How you implement
T3:13.9 As you say these words you will realize that you do  believe in them. You believe, but you cannot imagine the truth of

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

T3:22.13  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

T4:2.29  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

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: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

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:7.64  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:7.79  insane belief that you have been treacherous to your Creator, it  believes that your brothers, who are as incapable of this as you

Tx: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:9.25  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: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:11.30  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: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: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.
W1:131.10  what has no opposite. He thinks he made a hell opposing Heaven and  believes that he abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the
W1:134.11  not kept to swell and bluster and to terrify the foolish dreamer who  believes in them. He has been gently wakened from his dream by
W1:136.11  made slave to laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who  believes illusions but the one who made them up? Who else can see
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
W1:166.2  the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and true  believes in two creators or in one, himself alone. But never in one
W1:166.4 Here is the only home he thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he  believes that he can find. Without the world he made is he an
W1:167.7  opposite in anything created nor in what it seems to make when it  believes it sleeps.
W1:193.2 God sees no contradictions. Yet His Son  believes he sees them. Thus he has a need for One Who can correct his
W1:200.6  escape of God's beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet  believes are true, a worthy purpose? Who could hope for more while
W2:356.1  not matter where 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
M:5.10  of God consider the forms of sickness in which their brother  believes. To do this is to forget that all of them have the same
M:10.1  says about them, and the teacher himself is inconsistent in what he  believes.
M:11.3  but that is meaningless to those who believe in them. And everyone  believes in what he made, for it was made by his believing it. Into
M:13.3  is a decision about identity, and no one doubts what he  believes he is. He can doubt all things but never this.
M:17.5  states in the clearest form possible that the mind which thinks it  believes it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of God and

C:16.17  The child has made a mistake. And with this mistake, the child  believes that the relationship with the parent has been severed. It
C:18.23  pain is made with the judgment of the separated self who not only  believes it is the body, but that it is at the body's mercy. Yet the
T1:3.3  gifts are shared, it cannot afford to see relationship. Because it  believes it is on its own it cannot see the higher order. Because of
T1:5.4  as you get closer to the truth. This is the part of you that  believes this communication itself is insane, that believes that to

T2:12.10  garden. A true gardener believes not in bad seeds. A true gardener  believes not that she is in control. A true gardener accepts the
T2:12.11  seed to fruition. The ego could be here compared to a gardener who  believes that the seed alone is all that is important. As intently as
T3:3.9  such thoughts consciously or not, there is a part of you that still  believes you are not good enough to be the “good” self you believe
T3:3.9  not want to put the effort into being good enough. Like a person who  believes she has a weight problem and knows a diet would be “good”

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: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:21.57  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:22.33  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: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: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: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: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:26.19  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

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

W1:164.1  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.

W1:169.1  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  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

W1:185.14  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

W2:269.1  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

W2:281.2 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.

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:18.63 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:18.70  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  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:23.29  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: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:26.54  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:31.29  learning can occur, could never change unless the mind preferred the  body change in its appearances to suit the purpose given by 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.
Tx:31.70 In terms of concepts, it is thus you see him more than just a  body, for the good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of
Tx:31.70  you see him more than just a body, for the good is never what the  body seems to be. The actions of the body are perceived as coming
Tx:31.70  for the good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of the  body are perceived as coming from the “baser” part of you and thus of
Tx:31.70  you and thus of him as well. By focusing upon the good in him, the  body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight and will at length
Tx:31.76  by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must perceive the  body as yourself, for you are bound to separation from the sight of
Tx:31.83  wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy Son of God he is a  body, born in what must die, unable to escape its frailty and bound

W1:135.8 The  body is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized.

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

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

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: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:8.17  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:10.29 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:11.9  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  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:16.5 Life in prison and a  body condemned to death is what judgment does to all of you who

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

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

T1:4.8  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

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
T3:4.2 The sameness that this Course calls you to is not a sameness of  body or of habit. It asks not for monks or clones. It asks not that
T3:10.1  Thus are more practical lessons needed in regard to the life of the  body that you now will let serve our cause of creating heaven on
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.
T3:10.16  will, of necessity, need to be translated into the language of the  body as well. While your human form remains, you will be dwelling
T3:12.6 These temptations are not temptations of the  body. They may seem to be, but the body is neutral. All temptations
T3:12.6  are not temptations of the body. They may seem to be, but the  body is neutral. All temptations originate in the mind and are
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.
T4:5.8 And yet your finger is governed by the larger  body, intricately connected to signals of the brain, to the linking

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
T4:5.13  the consciousness returned to those loosed of the  body by death. Being loosed of the body by death was the chosen means
T4:5.13  returned to those loosed of the body by death. Being loosed of the  body by death was the chosen means of the time of the intermediary,

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  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: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:6.14  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  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: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  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: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

C:5.15  outside of yourself, making it possible to look upon it with your  body's eyes. The one you do not see and do not believe in is the one

C:10.27 You will soon develop an ability to see without your  body's eyes. This, too, will seem like a silly game at first, a trick

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: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:25.36  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:25.82  vengeance. Problem solving cannot be vengeance, which at best can  bring another problem added to the first, in which the murder is not

Tx:26.18  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:27.43  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:27.51  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:29.44  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:30.53  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?

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: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

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:31.75  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:31.80 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

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

W1:151.7 He will not tell you that your  brother should be judged by what your eyes behold in him, nor what

W1:158.10  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

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:8.23  wrong decisions are undone, completely releasing you and your  brothers from every imprisoning thought any part of the Sonship
Tx:8.42  begin the journey back by setting out together and gather in our  brothers as we continue together. Every gain in our strength is
Tx:8.53  of himself in this way, he is belittling himself and seeing his  brothers as similarly belittled. Since he can find himself only in
Tx:8.54  Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not perceive your  brothers as the Holy Spirit does, because you do not interpret their
Tx:8.79 The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your  brothers, so He can teach His message through you. This will heal
Tx:8.113  you, who speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my  brothers in whom God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies
Tx:8.114 Believe in your  brothers because I believe in you, and you will learn that my
Tx:9.33 If your  brothers are part of you, will you accept them? Only they can
Tx:9.34  as yours, but meanwhile you will judge it as you judge your  brothers' and will accept it as you accept theirs.
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

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: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: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: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:19.12 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
