C:1.9 | thoughts that say on my own I am everything, rather than on my own | I am nothing. A true leader follows until she is ready to lead. She |
C:2.12 | not about looking upon misery and saying to yourself you see it not. | I am not an advocate of heartlessness but wholeheartedness. If you |
C:3.6 | well. But love did not attach itself to form and say, “This is what | I am.” How can anything have a form except in symbols? A family |
C:5.7 | As long as it is where I can look upon it, it is real to me and | I am safe.” |
C:7.4 | yourself and say of this piece, “This is what makes me uniquely who | I am.” Without this piece of yourself that you have determined to be |
C:9.22 | not an answer is precisely what the Bible has instructed you to do. | I am recorded as telling you to feed the hungry, to quench the thirst |
C:9.22 | when you do this unto others you do this to me. Do you think that | I am in need of a meal, a cup of water, a warm bed? While you are |
C:10.3 | There are aspects of what | I am telling you that you readily embrace and others that you do not |
C:10.15 | I am here to teach you once again because I was the example life. Do | |
C:12.1 | some fancy name, you would say, “A new discovery has been found and | I am willing to believe it may be true, especially if others are also |
C:16.21 | away. Power is possessed by those who claim it. By those who cry | I am. For the beginning of power comes from the rejection of |
C:18.2 | part of a chain of bodies holding hands and encircling the globe. | I am among those whose hand you hold. All are linked, even if each |
C:20.9 | there is nothing you must do. Being replaces identity and you say, | I am. I am, and there is nothing outside of me. Nothing outside of |
C:20.9 | is nothing you must do. Being replaces identity and you say, I am. | I am, and there is nothing outside of me. Nothing outside of the |
C:20.14 | I am alive and you do believe this or you would not be here. Yet you | |
C:25.20 | It will be looking for identity. It will want to say: “This is who | I am.” This is an exciting sign, for it means the old identity is |
C:26.8 | behind as we seek to become involved with life. I say we because | I am with you and will not leave your side. I say we because your |
C:26.10 | could simply come true through your acceptance of these words. But | I am prepared to make it easy for you. |
T1:4.1 | By asking you to request a miracle, | I am honoring who you are and inviting you into the state of mind |
T1:8.1 | are no different than I was. Now I call you to be no different than | I am. |
T1:8.2 | As a man, I suffered, died and was buried. As who | I Am, I resurrected. “I am the resurrection and the life.” What I was |
T1:8.4 | of it. The nature of life changed with the resurrection. | I am the resurrection and the life. So are you. |
T1:8.5 | my birth nor my death were consequent with the Word as the Word is | I Am, the Word is Life Eternal. My resurrection brought about the |
T1:8.5 | in each of you. You who have come after me are not as I was but as | I Am. Does this not make sense, even in your human terms of |
T1:8.16 | mother, Mary, was responsible for the incarnation of Christ in me as | I am responsible for the incarnation of Christ in you. This union of |
T2:6.6 | end point but a given. It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says | I am rather than I will be. I will be is a statement that presumes a |
T2:10.13 | wholeheartedness. You are in a state in which you are able to learn. | I am here to show you the way to the Christ in you. I began my |
T2:12.1 | Miracles are thoughts and | I am the corrector of false thinking. You have been made ready for |
T2:12.3 | the integration of the beliefs we have put forth here. The miracle | I am offering you here is the service I offer you, the precursor of |
T2:13.2 | Now that you have been made ready, | I am ready to return you to your Self. Now that you have been made |
T2:13.3 | different than the one you once perceived. I know of this world and | I am here to guide you through it. I, too, am friend to you. |
T2:13.4 | I am the corrector of false thinking because I lived among you as a | |
T3:6.5 | While the untrue cannot exist with the true, what | I am calling here bitterness is all that you have forced, through |
T3:11.12 | If I can tell you in truth that you are no different than | I am, then you must see that you cannot begin to think of yourself as |
T3:12.5 | your awareness the truth of your identity. By changing our goal now, | I am assuring you that you have become aware of the truth of your |
T3:14.5 | I am, however, the bringer of Good News. Now I will repeat to you a | |
T3:16.4 | you may still feel confused and lacking in ability to do what | I am asking of you, I feel confident in also saying that you are more |
T3:16.4 | while its limitations may seem even more frustrating than before, | I am also confident in saying that a hope has been instilled within |
T3:20.10 | lives. “Good” people have as much calamity befall them as do “bad.” | I am not calling you to just another version of being good or |
T3:20.10 | healthy, to exercises in visualization or positive thinking. | I am calling you to live by the truth and to never deny it. To see no |
T3:20.10 | never deny it. To see no circumstance as cause to abandon it. Yes, | I am providing you with means to help you know how to live by the |
T3:21.22 | to the truth of him- or herself that is seen reflected there. What | I am saying is that your differences can serve our purpose until |
T3:21.22 | can serve our purpose until differences are no longer seen. What | I am saying is that you can remain confident in your personal self, |
T3:22.7 | but a state of giving and receiving as one. Observation, as | I am speaking of it and teaching it, makes you one with what you |
T4:1.6 | chosen is one laden with so many false ideas about exclusivity? | I am using this word specifically because of the precedent of its use |
T4:1.27 | directly, and to pass on this learning through direct means. What | I am saying is that it is not impossible for those who remain unaware |
T4:2.1 | not predictive. I have never been and will never be predictive, for | I am Christ-consciousness. Christ-consciousness is awareness of what |
T4:2.11 | That I was the first to demonstrate what you can be does not mean | I am better than you. Just as in your sporting events, a “first” is |
T4:4.12 | I am calling you to the new. I am calling you to transform. I am | |
T4:4.12 | I am calling you to the new. | I am calling you to transform. I am calling you to |
T4:4.12 | I am calling you to the new. I am calling you to transform. | I am calling you to Christ-consciousness. I am calling you to |
T4:4.12 | calling you to transform. I am calling you to Christ-consciousness. | I am calling you to everlasting consciousness even while you still |
T4:5.11 | I am calling you to make this choice now. This is not a choice | |
T4:8.2 | that you and God are the same. That when I say “God made a choice” | I am not saying that you did not. I am saying that a choice was made |
T4:8.2 | when I say “God made a choice” I am not saying that you did not. | I am saying that a choice was made within the one mind, the one |
T4:12.26 | Realize this without fear, for | I am with you. This is akin to being stranded in a foreign land with |
D:1.14 | I am no longer the personal self who was separate and alone. I am my | |
D:1.14 | I am no longer the personal self who was separate and alone. | I am my Christ Self. I dwell in unity. My identity is certain. This |
D:1.14 | Self. I dwell in unity. My identity is certain. This is the truth. | I am not less than I once was, but more. Where once I was empty, I |
D:1.14 | dwell in the light. Where once I had forgotten Now I remember who | I Am. Now I go forth To live as who I Am within the world To make |
D:1.14 | had forgotten Now I remember who I Am. Now I go forth To live as who | I Am within the world To make cause and effect as one, and Union with |
D:3.17 | This is why I will often repeat that | I am no longer your teacher. You must realize your oneness with me |
D:3.22 | the ideas of your brothers and sisters as much as they are of God. | I am teaching you nothing, nothing old and nothing new. I am |
D:3.22 | are of God. I am teaching you nothing, nothing old and nothing new. | I am reminding you of what you know as I have reminded you of your |
D:4.11 | of creation previously, divine design was also spoken of. Here | I am quite confident that you have either seen and learned enough |
D:4.23 | in the prison of the old. You have asked, and because you have asked | I am telling you, that the permission you seek must come from your |
D:5.17 | But while this is what awaits you, | I am merely answering the questions that remain and that occur as |
D:5.17 | questions that remain and that occur as this dialogue proceeds. What | I am attempting to answer now is your confusion concerning what is. |
D:5.18 | Yet what you think imprisons you is also what | I am addressing here. Release through death is no longer the answer. |
D:6.14 | I am calling all of this to mind in order to begin our discussion | |
D:6.14 | that the sun may rise and may set, but also knows that it may not. | I am speaking of a spirit that is open to the discovery of something |
D:11.3 | an accurate description of what I do, or of what occurs in unity. | I am and I extend what I am. This dialogue is that extension. God's |
D:11.3 | of what I do, or of what occurs in unity. I am and I extend what | I am. This dialogue is that extension. God's idea of you extended and |
D:11.13 | These words give evidence of who | I am because they give evidence that I know who you are. That these |
D:12.11 | of the ego mind; thoughts are more descriptive of the true mind. | I am not saying that your ego is still at work because you still |
D:12.11 | 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: The first |
D:12.12 | What | I am striving to help you see, once again, is that union isn't |
D:12.12 | it quietly infiltrates the dot of the self in its unguarded moments. | I am attempting to help you to become aware and comfortable with the |
D:12.19 | and thoughts that arise from union. Union is not other than you, as | I am not other than you. Union includes you, just as the All of |
D:Day1.3 | on the top of the mountain together, beginning our work together. | I am no longer your teacher, but there is a reason that you are here |
D:Day1.3 | to a place but to an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who | I am, you will not fully accept who you are. Without your willingness |
D:Day1.5 | have found a connection to eternal life, only to accept me as who | I am. |
D:Day1.8 | know your Self is contingent upon your ability to know me? Because | I am. This is akin to saying Love is. I am what is. I am the way, the |
D:Day1.8 | ability to know me? Because I am. This is akin to saying Love is. | I am what is. I am the way, the truth, and the life. |
D:Day1.8 | know me? Because I am. This is akin to saying Love is. I am what is. | I am the way, the truth, and the life. |
D:Day1.10 | This would be like saying, “If | I am an astronaut, I can reach outer space without a space craft. I |
D:Day1.15 | one religious tradition or another matters not. That you accept that | I am he who can lead you beyond your life of misery to new life |
D:Day1.16 | I am not your teacher and you are not called to follow me blindly. | |
D:Day1.24 | I lived it and made it real for you. You must accept me because | I am the part of you that can guide you beyond what I accomplished to |
D:Day1.29 | I am the secret of succession, the way and the life, the beginning of | |
D:Day2.21 | accounts of my maturity generally begin with the recognition of who | I am. This is symbolic of the idea put forth here that until you are |
D:Day2.22 | It was in awareness of who | I Am that my life took on meaning. It could be argued that this |
D:Day2.22 | births are meant to be eagerly looked forward to as beginnings of | I Am. Since most births are seen in this way, and most mature lives |
D:Day2.23 | My mature life thus began with the recognition of who | I Am, as does yours. This time was followed by my “example life,” a |
D:Day3.41 | The idea | I am trying to open to you here is the idea of a responsive |
D:Day4.19 | in my way. I asked them to be, not as they once were, but to be as | I am. I asked them to live—not in the world of their former |
D:Day4.31 | this as a disengagement from the details. Thinking is about details. | I am imparting to you the key to abundance and all the treasure that |
D:Day4.46 | for you, for you know exactly what it means. It means you will be as | I am. It means you will live from love rather than from fear. It |
D:Day4.56 | relationship. It is from this beginning that you will come to be as | I am. |
D:Day9.1 | “normal” life and the lack of freedom you have experienced there. | I am your refuge from the past, your gate of entry to the present. |
D:Day10.3 | spring from your willingness to experience its cause and its effect. | I am asking you now to be willing to move from conviction to |
D:Day10.3 | am asking you now to be willing to move from conviction to reliance. | I am not asking you to do this today any more than I am asking you to |
D:Day10.3 | to reliance. I am not asking you to do this today any more than | I am asking you to move from maintenance to sustainability today, I |
D:Day10.3 | I am asking you to move from maintenance to sustainability today, | I am merely making you aware of this difference, just as I made you |
D:Day10.3 | As with the states of maintenance and sustainability, | I am giving you cause for movement, the effect of which will be the |
D:Day10.24 | this way, is an exchange and will only become more so as we proceed. | I am not imparting wisdom that you are unaware of but reminding you |
D:Day10.24 | you are unaware of but reminding you of what you have forgotten. | I am not having a monologue, but we are having a dialogue in which |
D:Day10.30 | I am not calling you to be as these people are or were or to act as | |
D:Day10.30 | be as these people are or were or to act as these people have, but | I am calling you to acknowledge that feelings are involved at every |
D:Day10.31 | As a man, I took a stand for the powerless and called them to power. | I am still doing so. Not because any of you are powerless but because |
D:Day10.35 | the issues facing your time in order to speak to you of such things, | I am aware of them. So is every other living thing because all that |
D:Day38.2 | you know, can you feel as yet, how much I love you? How full of love | I am for you? |
D:Day38.5 | or Great Spirit, Yahweh or Allah, but call me yours. For this is who | I Am. |
D:Day38.7 | And realize that as I call upon you, I call you who | I Am. |
D:Day38.9 | That you make it yours. As you make me yours and as I make you mine. | I Am your own. You are my own. We are the beloved when we are the |
D:Day38.9 | the beloved when we are the beloved to one another, when we are who | I Am to one another. |
D:Day38.10 | as your own God as well as God of all. Now it is time to call me who | I Am. |
D:Day38.11 | There is a subtle and loving difference between | I Am and who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of individuated or |
D:Day38.11 | There is a subtle and loving difference between I Am and who | I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of individuated or differentiated |
D:Day38.12 | and possession in union and relationship. It cannot replace who | I Am, or who I Am to you. |
D:Day38.12 | in union and relationship. It cannot replace who I Am, or who | I Am to you. |
D:Day38.13 | Who | I Am to you, and who you are to me, is all that matters. Our |
D:Day38.14 | 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 of |
D:Day39.2 | It is time now to come to your own discovery of who | I Am to you. No one can give you this answer, not even me, because |
D:Day39.3 | order to individuate and be in relationship. You are an extension of | I Am into form. Through your extension, you can become who you are to |
D:Day39.4 | You may find it difficult to give yourself an answer to who | I Am to you in words, and even if you are able to do so, you may not |
D:Day39.5 | again of contradiction here. Of the importance of your knowing who | I Am to you, and of the importance of being able to continually |
D:Day39.5 | you, and of the importance of being able to continually discover who | I Am to you. Of your embrace of knowing, and your embrace of mystery. |
D:Day39.5 | on your own and yet of having to come to this realization of who | I Am to you on your own. |
D:Day39.10 | relationship with me is when you have discovered that you are who | I Am because you realize—or make real—your oneness with Christ. |
D:Day39.33 | being and an identity for that being. Everyone carries the memory of | I Am. |
D:Day39.34 | What memory of | I Am will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who I am |
D:Day39.34 | What memory of I Am will you carry with you now that you know that | I Am is who I am and who you are? What memory has this Course and |
D:Day39.34 | of I Am will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who | I am and who you are? What memory has this Course and this Dialogue |
D:Day39.34 | returned to you? What memory is without attributes because it is who | I Am and not a projection? Only love. What memory is not a memory, |
D:Day39.37 | is where we must return to paradox, to knowing who you are and who | I Am and to constantly discovering who you are and who I Am, because |
D:Day39.37 | are and who I Am and to constantly discovering who you are and who | I Am, because who you are and who I Am are the same being in the |
D:Day39.37 | discovering who you are and who I Am, because who you are and who | I Am are the same being in the constant creative tension of |
D:Day39.38 | This is a time of knowing who you are and who | I Am while at the same time, holding, or carrying, the mystery within |
D:Day39.43 | hands and that as you take another's hand, you hold my own, and that | I am with you as well as within you. Realize that I love all that you |
D:Day39.43 | cry in despair, hang your head in weariness, howl with laughter, | I am with you and within you. |
D:Day39.44 | that you will no longer see me as an inhuman God. You will know | I am as human as are you and that you are as godly as am I. |
D:Day39.46 | process and that you are the bridge. You are the bridge to me. | I am the bridge to you. You are the bridge to your brothers and |
D:Day40.3 | words that are available, I would like you to understand that when | I am love being, I am being without attributes—love being in union |
D:Day40.3 | available, I would like you to understand that when I am love being, | I am being without attributes—love being in union and relationship. |
D:Day40.3 | am being without attributes—love being in union and relationship. | I am the anchor that holds all that has taken on attributes within |
D:Day40.3 | my being has been capable of accepting your projections—because | I am attributeless being. I am love, being. |
D:Day40.3 | of accepting your projections—because I am attributeless being. | I am love, being. |
D:Day40.6 | different or distinct being, a being different or distinct from who | I am, and who others are. These are the attributes of your 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 |
D:Day40.7 | being, a being of love, into form. Through that extension, I became | I Am. I became instantly because there was no opposing tension—only |
D:Day40.7 | an idea that entered love, of love's extension. As soon as I became | I Am there also became all I am not, the Christ connection between |
D:Day40.7 | of love's extension. As soon as I became I Am there also became all | I am not, the Christ connection between all I Am and all I am not, |
D:Day40.7 | Am there also became all I am not, the Christ connection between all | I Am and all I am not, and an I Am, called the son, who could become |

D:Day40.7 | called the son, who could become who I Am and continue to extend who | I Am. |
D:Day40.8 | The differences have arisen through becoming. For with the birth of | I Am came the birth of all I am not and the need to differentiate. In |
D:Day40.8 | through becoming. For with the birth of I Am came the birth of all | I am not and the need to differentiate. In separation you have |
D:Day40.9 | carry within you as you return to love and to level ground as who | I Am being. |
D:Day40.11 | being, to my being love. I have reconfirmed this statement and said | I am the anchor that holds all that has taken on attributes within |
D:Day40.11 | my being has been capable of accepting your projections—because | I am attributeless being. I am love, being. But in being God, as in |
D:Day40.11 | of accepting 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 | 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 | process of separation. In being God, I Am. In being love there is no | I Am, but only love being. |
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 |
D:Day40.14 | 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 the attributeless |
D:Day40.14 | is why it can be rightly said that God is Love and Love is God. But | I am also an extension of love, just as you are. This is all I Am |
D:Day40.14 | But I am also an extension of love, just as you are. This is all | I Am means. There is no I Am except through love's extension. How |
D:Day40.14 | of love, just as you are. This is all I Am means. There is no | I Am except through love's extension. How does love extend? Through |
D:Day40.16 | or brother, friend or foe? You are who you are in relationship. | I Am who I Am in relationship as well. |
D:Day40.16 | friend or foe? You are who you are in relationship. I Am who | I Am in relationship as well. |
D:Day40.17 | from relationship?” Separately from relationship, there is no | I Am, but only love, being. |
D:Day40.21 | with love. This relationship with love is all that provides for the | I Am of God. |
D:Day40.25 | being “left out,” unrecognized, or unwelcome: “Don't you know that | I am an individual? That I have feelings?” Are you saying this now, |
D:Day40.26 | Perhaps you have noticed that in yesterday's discussion of who | I Am to you and today's discussion of who you are to me, that one has |
D:Day40.27 | to accept? Does it become less difficult if you remember who | I Am? That I Am everything being love? This is not the same as saying |
D:Day40.27 | accept? Does it become less difficult if you remember who I Am? That | I Am everything being love? This is not the same as saying you are |
D:Day40.27 | love. This is saying that this is who you are and that this is who | I Am. |
E.9 | For as long as you know that what | I am telling you is true, for as long as you carry this knowing |
E.24 | Remember that you are a creator. Never forget that in being who | I Am being, you extend only love. |
A.12 | Am I telling you not to question? Not to enter discussion? | I am only telling you to receive before you seek to perceive. I ask |
A.47 | ever-wider configurations. This dialogue is going on all around you. | I am with you and will never leave you comfortless. Call on me, for I |
A.47 | I am with you and will never leave you comfortless. Call on me, for | I am here. Talk to me, and I will hear you. Listen, and I will |

Tx:3.80 | was given you from beyond this world. Only in this world is the | idea of an authority problem meaningful. The world is not left by |
Tx:4.5 | example of the kind of thinking which stems from it. The | idea of buying and selling implies precisely the kind of exchange |
Tx:4.6 | quite frequently in the Bible. To profess is to identify with an | idea and offer the idea to others to be their own. The idea does not |
Tx:4.6 | in the Bible. To profess is to identify with an idea and offer the | idea to others to be their own. The idea does not lessen; it becomes |
Tx:4.6 | with an idea and offer the idea to others to be their own. The | idea does not lessen; it becomes stronger. |
Tx:4.25 | There could be no better example of the fact that the ego is an | idea, though not a reality-based thought. |
Tx:4.28 | know God. Belief that there is another way is the loftiest | idea of which ego thinking is capable. That is because it contains a |
Tx:4.38 | to evaluate it unless its status as fact is questioned. Every | idea to which the ego has accorded the status of fact is |
Tx:4.49 | you have for the self you have made. You project onto your own | idea of yourself the will to separate, which conflicts with the love |
Tx:4.52 | It has never really entered your mind to give up every | idea you ever had that opposes knowledge. You retain thousands of |
Tx:4.54 | Any distinction in this respect is meaningful only when the | idea of “getting,” which implies a lack, has already been accepted. |
Tx:4.70 | threat or non-threat to itself. In one sense the ego's fear of the | idea of God is at least logical, since this idea does dispel the |
Tx:4.70 | the ego's fear of the idea of God is at least logical, since this | idea does dispel the ego. Fear of dissolution from the Higher |
Tx:4.71 | eagerly. Yet the ego hates the body because it does not accept the | idea that the body is good enough to be its home. Here is where the |
Tx:4.76 | defeated. The ego has countenanced some strange compromises with the | idea of the eternal, making many odd attempts to relate the concept |
Tx:4.77 | examples. A more recent ego attempt is particularly noteworthy. The | idea of preserving the body by suspension, thus giving it the kind |
Tx:4.87 | convinced as yet. The very fact that you are preoccupied with the | idea of escaping from the ego shows this. |
Tx:5.6 | physical possession, you do divide its ownership. If you share an | idea, however, you do not lessen it. All of it is still yours, |
Tx:5.8 | more who believe in them, the stronger they become. Everything is an | idea. How, then, is it possible that giving and losing can be |
Tx:5.21 | light. The Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let banish the | idea of darkness. His is the glory before which dissociation falls |
Tx:5.28 | to awake and be glad. The world is very tired, because it is the | idea of weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the |
Tx:5.33 | The Holy Spirit is the idea of healing. Being thought, the | idea gains as it is shared. Being the Call for God, it is also |
Tx:5.33 | gains as it is shared. Being the Call for God, it is also the | idea of God. Since you are part of God, it is also the idea of |
Tx:5.33 | also the idea of God. Since you are part of God, it is also the | idea of yourself as well as of all the parts of God. The idea of |
Tx:5.33 | also the idea of yourself as well as of all the parts of God. The | idea of the Holy Spirit shares the property of other ideas, because |
Tx:5.35 | it is limited by your unwillingness to hear it. Will itself is an | idea and is therefore strengthened by being shared. If you make the |
Tx:5.36 | of the ego, because time is its concept. Delay is obviously a time | idea. Both time and delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said |
Tx:5.37 | is with the ego and the Soul, with time and eternity. Eternity is an | idea of God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a belief |
Tx:5.39 | you believe there is strife, you will react viciously because the | idea of danger has entered your mind. The idea itself is an appeal |
Tx:5.39 | viciously because the idea of danger has entered your mind. The | idea itself is an appeal to the ego. |
Tx:5.40 | for a split mind. It was not an act, but a thought. Therefore, the | idea of separation can be given away, just as the idea of unity can. |
Tx:5.40 | Therefore, the idea of separation can be given away, just as the | idea of unity can. Either way, the idea will be strengthened in the |
Tx:5.40 | can be given away, just as the idea of unity can. Either way, the | idea will be strengthened in the mind of the giver. |
Tx:5.49 | the error, which is only part of healing. Your concept lacked the | idea of undoing it. What you were really advocating, then, was |
Tx:5.57 | devote themselves first to healing, because having received the | idea of healing, they must give it to hold it. The full power of |
Tx:5.62 | However ridiculous the | idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind, never forget that |
Tx:5.83 | The | idea of “set” is among the better psychological concepts. Actually, |
Tx:6.23 | “punishment” involves the projection of blame and reinforces the | idea that blame is justified. The behavior that results is a lesson |
Tx:6.33 | future only because your mind is not in perfect alignment with the | idea and therefore does not want it now. |
Tx:6.35 | The ego can accept the | idea that return is necessary because it can so easily make the idea |
Tx:6.35 | the idea that return is necessary because it can so easily make the | idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy Spirit tells you that even |
Tx:6.35 | problem. It does not follow, however, that you cannot make the | idea of return [both] necessary and difficult. It is surely clear, |
Tx:6.39 | and being. This is because, as we have said before, every | idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends outward. |
Tx:6.44 | Only thus can you win back the knowledge that you threw away. An | idea which you share, you must have. It awakens in you through |
Tx:7.28 | of their brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the | idea of competition has entered their minds. Do not underestimate |
Tx:7.28 | minds. Do not underestimate your need to be vigilant against this | idea, because all your conflicts come from it. It is the belief |
Tx:7.63 | coexist in peace and if you want peace, you must give up the | idea of conflict entirely and for all time. [This requires |
Tx:7.85 | is severely limited by his confusion. A second fallacy is the | idea that you can get rid of something you do not want by giving it |
Tx:7.90 | against the belief that you can be alone, thus dispelling the | idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the |
Tx:7.101 | about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the whole | idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up |
Tx:8.53 | can get you something you want. If you did not believe this, the | idea of attack would have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself |
Tx:9.15 | believes that all functions belong to it, even though it has no | idea what they are. This is more than mere confusion. It is a |
Tx:9.15 | It is totally unpredictable in its responses, because it has no | idea of what it perceives. |
Tx:9.16 | If one has no | idea of what is happening, how appropriately can you expect him to |
Tx:9.20 | he is more likely to start with the equally incredible | idea that he really believes in attack and so does the patient, but |
Tx:9.95 | because, having made him out of your insanity, he is an insane | idea. He has many forms, but although he may seem like many different |
Tx:9.95 | but although he may seem like many different things he is but one | idea—the denial of God. |
Tx:10.44 | Every | idea has a purpose, and its purpose is always the natural extension |
Tx:10.49 | foundation by this awareness. For though you may countenance a false | idea of independence, you will not accept the cost of fear if you |
Tx:11.43 | strong do not attack because they see no need to do so. Before the | idea of attack can enter your mind, you must have perceived |
Tx:11.94 | look upon him as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the | idea of guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, |
Tx:12.2 | concealing it. You do experience guilt feelings, but you have no | idea why. On the contrary, you associate them with a weird assortment |
Tx:12.2 | of ego ideals which the ego claims you have failed. Yet you have no | idea that you are failing the Son of God by seeing him as guilty. |
Tx:12.3 | him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but insane | idea lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so intense |
Tx:13.15 | Would you, then, teach him that he is right in his delusion? The | idea that the guiltless Son of God can attack himself and make |
Tx:13.30 | from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will have no | idea what love is like. No one who condemns a brother can see himself |
Tx:15.59 | difficult to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are an | idea. And like Him, you can give yourself completely, wholly |
Tx:15.60 | holy instant, you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this | idea with the mind that thought it and could not relinquish it. By |
Tx:15.63 | and its conditions are in the mind with it. If you were not only an | idea and nothing else, you could not be in full communication with |
Tx:15.70 | or another, every relationship which the ego makes is based on the | idea that by sacrificing itself, it becomes bigger. The |
Tx:15.90 | conception of the limits you have placed on your perception and no | idea of all the loveliness that you could see. But this you must |
Tx:15.95 | same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is always the same | idea. What is not love is always fear and nothing else. It is not |
Tx:15.95 | them not as separate but as different manifestations of the same | idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The idea is simply |
Tx:15.95 | of the same idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The | idea is simply this—you believe that it is possible to be host to |
Tx:15.96 | sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would accept but this one | idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the |
Tx:15.96 | idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the | idea of sacrifice has been removed. For if there is sacrifice, as you |
Tx:15.98 | Each form will be recognized as but a cover for the one | idea that hides behind them all—that love demands sacrifice and is |
Tx:15.98 | in which you are both destroyer and destroyed in part, but with the | idea of being able to be neither completely. And this you think saves |
Tx:15.101 | Fear not to recognize the whole | idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety by |
Tx:15.102 | of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the whole | idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And you |
Tx:16.13 | mind and joined with it. When two minds join as one and share one | idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the Sonship as one |
Tx:16.47 | self, for nothing would remain to interfere with it. This is its | idea of Heaven. From this it follows that union, which is a condition |
Tx:17.5 | are unreal and thus enable you to escape from them. Reserve not one | idea aside from truth, or you establish orders of reality which must |
Tx:17.36 | acceptance of the gift of death. When you who are truth accept an | idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten truth with destruction. |
Tx:17.59 | be wrong. Not only is your judgment in the past, but you have no | idea what should happen. No goal was set with which to bring the |
Tx:17.65 | be in conflict. But if the goal is truth, this is impossible. Some | idea of bodies must have entered, for minds cannot attack. |
Tx:17.70 | far beyond your little conception of the infinite that you have no | idea how great the strength that goes with you. And you can use |
Tx:18.6 | between you and the truth. For truth extends inward, where the | idea of loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you |
Tx:18.19 | They are your protest against reality and your fixed and insane | idea that you can change it. In your waking dreams, the special |
Tx:18.39 | be more that you need do. [You find it difficult to accept the | idea that you need give so little to receive so much.] And it is |
Tx:18.60 | anywhere—a sound, a sight, a thought, a memory, and even a general | idea without specific reference. Yet in every case, you joined it |
Tx:18.72 | body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete | idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very little |
Tx:18.76 | whole be whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an | idea of separation from the rest. Nor does a fence surround it, |
Tx:19.8 | where separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an | idea is never separate from its source. The idea of separation |
Tx:19.18 | Sin is not an error, for sin entails an arrogance which the | idea of error lacks. To sin would be to violate reality and to |
Tx:19.19 | is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the whole | idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is death, and |
Tx:19.21 | to reinterpret sin as error is always indefensible to the ego. The | idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and quite |
Tx:19.22 | seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed creation from an | idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it rules, made up of |
Tx:19.23 | in all the ego's embattled citadel more heavily defended than the | idea that sin is real—the natural expression of what the Son of God |
Tx:19.25 | guilt remains attractive the mind will suffer and not let go of the | idea of sin. For guilt still calls to it, and the mind hears it and |
Tx:19.25 | it, making itself a willing captive to its sick appeal. Sin is an | idea of evil that cannot be corrected and will be forever |
Tx:19.61 | of the perception of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the | idea that love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far |
Tx:19.72 | becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the | idea that pain is pleasure. It is this idea that underlies all of the |
Tx:19.72 | it dutifully and obeying the idea that pain is pleasure. It is this | idea that underlies all of the ego's heavy investment in the body. |
Tx:19.79 | ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for life. We know that an | idea leaves not its source. And death is the result of the thought we |
Tx:19.82 | nor incorruptible. It is nothing. It is the result of a tiny mad | idea of corruption which can be corrected. For God has answered |
Tx:19.82 | which can be corrected. For God has answered this insane | idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore brings |
Tx:19.88 | mean everything or nothing, according to the truth or falsity of the | idea which they reflect. Confronted with such seeming uncertainty of |
Tx:20.52 | to be what it is not. No more than that. The instant that the mad | idea of making your relationship with God unholy seemed to be |
Tx:20.52 | that unholy instant, time was born and bodies made to house the mad | idea and give it the illusion of reality. And so it seemed to have a |
Tx:20.52 | a little while in time and vanished. For what could house this mad | idea against reality but for an instant? |
Tx:21.20 | exchange of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an | idea that it is possible that things should happen to the Son of God |
Tx:21.21 | leave himself without what God has willed for him. This is the mad | idea you have enshrined upon your altars and which you worship. And |
Tx:21.30 | If you accept this change, you have accepted the | idea of making room for truth. The source of sin is gone. You may |
Tx:21.52 | You do not realize the whole extent to which the | idea of separation has interfered with reason. Reason lies in the |
Tx:22.6 | description earlier, but it was not of you. And yet this strange | idea, which it does accurately describe, you think is you. Reason |
Tx:22.20 | reason looks on this another way, for reason sees the source of an | idea as what will make it true or false. This must be so if the idea |
Tx:22.20 | an idea as what will make it true or false. This must be so if the | idea is like its source. Therefore, says reason, if escape from |
Tx:22.24 | is the same belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless | idea that thoughts can leave the thinker's mind, be different from |
Tx:22.34 | These eyes, made not to see, will never see. For the | idea they represent left not its maker, and it is their maker that |
Tx:22.52 | contradictory and so impossible that anyone who chooses this has no | idea of what is valuable. Yet even in this confusion, so profound |
Tx:23.43 | Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the | idea of compromise but enter, and the awareness of salvation's |
Tx:23.47 | illusion is an assault on truth, and every one does violence to the | idea of love because it seems to be of equal truth. |
Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the | idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible even to imagine without this |
Tx:24.71 | to His love and shared His purpose, so does the body testify to the | idea that made it and speak for its reality and truth. |
Tx:25.61 | Salvation is rebirth of the | idea no one can lose for anyone to gain. And everyone must gain |
Tx:25.63 | to no one you would not know. This much is necessary to add to the | idea no one can lose for you to gain. And nothing more. |
Tx:25.67 | where would justice be if He demanded of the ones obsessed with the | idea of punishment that they lay it aside unaided and perceive it is |
Tx:26.1 | In the “dynamics” of attack is sacrifice a key | idea. It is the pivot upon which all compromise, all desperate |
Tx:26.11 | to truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the whole | idea that loss is possible and could result in gain for anyone. If |
Tx:26.47 | the separation is denied, it goes. For it is gone as soon as the | idea which brought it has been healed and been replaced by sanity. |
Tx:26.60 | ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's law—that each | idea the mind conceives but adds to its abundance, never takes |
Tx:26.61 | A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the whole | idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's Son |
Tx:26.73 | is difficult to credit in advance. Nor is there really sense in this | idea. |
Tx:26.87 | be unfairly treated. The belief you are is but another form of the | idea you are deprived by someone not yourself. Projection of the |
Tx:27.25 | because that is its purpose, being what it really is. From an | idea of self as two, there comes a necessary view of function split |
Tx:27.29 | the concept which it attacks. And by this does it join to the | idea a something it is not and make it unintelligible. Who can |
Tx:27.82 | done to him. Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad | idea at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his |
Tx:27.82 | not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become a serious | idea and possible of both accomplishment and real effects. Together, |
Tx:29.17 | can not be sick. In your demand that it be more than this lies the | idea of sickness. For it asks that God be less than all He really is. |
Tx:29.28 | It does not matter if they be fulfilled or merely wanted. It is the | idea that they exist from which the fears arise. Dreams are not |
Tx:29.54 | leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its form apart from the | idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and |
Tx:29.57 | This is the anti-Christ—the strange | idea there is a power past omnipotence, a place beyond the infinite, |
Tx:29.57 | the eternal. Here the world of idols has been set by the | idea this power and place and time are given form and shape the world |
Tx:30.40 | Only if you had sinned could this be so. For sin is the | idea you are alone and separated off from what is whole. And thus it |
Tx:30.86 | who loses. There could be no thought of sacrifice apart from this | idea. And it is this idea of different goals which makes perception |
Tx:30.86 | be no thought of sacrifice apart from this idea. And it is this | idea of different goals which makes perception shift and meaning |
W1:I.4 | you see in it. Each day's exercises are planned around one central | idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that idea to as |
W1:I.4 | central idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that | idea to as many specifics as possible. Be sure that you do not decide |
W1:I.4 | you do not decide that there are some things you see to which the | idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim of the exercises will |
W1:I.4 | of the exercises will always be to increase the application of the | idea to everything. This will not require effort. Only be sure that |
W1:I.4 | effort. Only be sure that you make no exceptions in applying the | idea. |
W1:1.1 | Now look slowly around you, and practice applying this | idea very specifically to whatever you see: |
W1:1.3 | Then look farther away from your immediate area, and apply the | idea to a wider range: |
W1:1.5 | is merely applied to anything you see. As you practice applying the | idea for the day, use it totally indiscriminately. Do not attempt to |
W1:1.5 | excluded. One thing is like another as far as the application of the | idea is concerned. |
W1:2.1 | The exercises with this | idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the things |
W1:2.1 | first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the | idea to whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range |
W1:2.1 | whatever is to either side. If possible, turn around and apply the | idea to what was behind you. Remain as indiscriminate as possible in |
W1:2.2 | or a floor, an arm or an apple. The sole criterion for applying the | idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it. Make no |
W1:3.1 | Apply this | idea in the same way as the previous ones, without making |
W1:3.1 | any kind. Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the | idea. Be sure that you do not question the suitability of anything |
W1:3.1 | not question the suitability of anything for the application of the | idea. These are not exercises in judgment. Anything is suitable if |
W1:3.2 | mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things to which the | idea for the day is to be applied. For this purpose one thing is like |
W1:4.1 | Unlike the preceding ones, these exercises do not begin with the | idea for the day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the |
W1:4.1 | that are crossing your mind for about a minute. Then apply the | idea to them. If you are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them |
W1:4.1 | are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them as subjects for the | idea. Do not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.” |
W1:4.2 | In selecting the subjects for the application of today's | idea, the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use |
W1:4.3 | and what is different. In using your thoughts for application of the | idea for today, identify each thought by the central figure or event |
W1:4.5 | You can also use the | idea for a particular thought which you recognize as harmful. This |
W1:5.1 | This | idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation, |
W1:5.1 | a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the same | idea to each of them separately is the first step in ultimately |
W1:5.2 | When using the | idea for today for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any |
W1:5.8 | You may also find yourself less willing to apply today's | idea to some perceived sources of upset than to others. If this |
W1:5.10 | regardless of the relative importance you may give them. Apply the | idea for today to each of them, using the name of both the source of |
W1:6.1 | The exercises with this | idea are very similar to the preceding ones. Again, it is necessary |
W1:6.1 | the perceived source very specifically for any application of the | idea. For example: |
W1:6.3 | Today's | idea is useful for application to anything that seems to upset you |
W1:6.3 | or so of mind searching, as before, and the application of the | idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the search. |
W1:6.4 | Again, if you resist applying the | idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to others, remind yourself |
W1:7.1 | This | idea is particularly difficult to believe at first. Yet it is the |
W1:7.8 | that is precisely why you need new ideas about time. This first time | idea is not really so strange as it may sound at first. Look at a |
W1:7.9 | this cup except what you learned in the past? You would have no | idea what this cup is except for your past learning. Do you, then, |
W1:7.10 | true of whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the | idea for today indiscriminately to whatever catches your eye. For |
W1:8.1 | This | idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the past. No one |
W1:8.10 | however, to include your irritation, or any emotion which the | idea for today may induce in the mind searching itself. |
W1:9.1 | This | idea obviously follows from the two preceding ones. But while you may |
W1:9.2 | believe that what seems to be pictured before it is not there. This | idea can be quite disturbing and may meet with active resistance in |
W1:9.3 | periods are sufficient, involve looking about you and applying the | idea for the day to whatever you see, remembering the need for its |
W1:10.1 | This | idea applies to all the thoughts of which you are aware or become |
W1:10.1 | are aware or become aware in the practice periods. The reason the | idea is applicable to all of them is that they are not your real |
W1:10.2 | This is the second time we have used this kind of | idea. The form is only slightly different. This time the idea is |
W1:10.2 | kind of idea. The form is only slightly different. This time the | idea is introduced with “My thoughts” instead of “These thoughts” and |
W1:10.3 | This aspect of the correction process began with the | idea that the thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, |
W1:10.4 | your eyes for these exercises and introduce them by repeating the | idea for today quite slowly to yourself. Then add: |
W1:10.5 | This | idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. |
W1:10.8 | Today's | idea can obviously serve for any thought that distresses you at any |
W1:10.8 | less if you experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat the | idea slowly before applying it specifically, and also to add: |
W1:10.9 | This | idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. |
W1:11.1 | This is the first | idea we have had which is related to a major phase of the correction |
W1:11.1 | It seems as if the world determines what you perceive. Today's | idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world |
W1:11.1 | thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the | idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your release made |
W1:11.1 | glad indeed to practice the idea in this initial form, for in this | idea is your release made sure. The key to forgiveness lies in it. |
W1:11.2 | The practice periods for today's | idea are to be undertaken somewhat differently from the previous |
W1:11.2 | from the previous ones. Begin with eyes closed, and repeat the | idea slowly to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about, near or |
W1:11.2 | or down—anywhere. During the minute or so to be spent in using the | idea, merely repeat it to yourself, being sure to do so without haste |
W1:11.3 | in an unhurried, even leisurely fashion. The introduction to this | idea should be practiced as casually as possible. It contains the |
W1:11.3 | achieve. On concluding the exercises, close your eyes and repeat the | idea once more, slowly, to yourself. |
W1:12.1 | The importance of this | idea lies in the fact that it contains a correction for a major |
W1:12.6 | that you do not alter the time intervals between applying today's | idea to what you think is pleasant and what you think is unpleasant. |
W1:12.9 | Three or four times are enough for practicing the | idea for today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You |
W1:13.1 | Today's | idea is really another form of the preceding one, except that it is |
W1:13.4 | way from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat today's | idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about you slowly, |
W1:14.1 | The | idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless world is |
W1:14.2 | at most. Do not have more than three practice periods with today's | idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it will be because |
W1:14.3 | The | idea for today is another step in learning to let go the thoughts |
W1:14.6 | Suitable subjects for the application of today's | idea also include anything you are afraid might happen to you or to |
W1:14.7 | of this fact, conclude the practice periods by repeating today's | idea: |
W1:14.9 | The | idea for today can, of course, be applied to anything that disturbs |
W1:15.2 | This introductory | idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing will not |
W1:15.4 | In practicing the | idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply it to |
W1:15.6 | a large number of specific subjects for the application of today's | idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to look at each subject |

W1:15.6 | to look at each subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. The | idea should be repeated quite slowly each time. |
W1:15.7 | Although you will obviously not be able to apply the | idea to very many things during the minute or so of practice that is |
W1:15.7 | uneasy. Do not have more than three application periods for today's | idea unless you feel completely comfortable with it, and do not |
W1:15.7 | completely comfortable with it, and do not exceed four. However, the | idea can be applied as needed throughout the day. |
W1:16.1 | The | idea for today is a beginning step in dispelling the belief that your |
W1:16.3 | all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We will practice this | idea in many forms before you really understand it. |
W1:16.4 | In applying the | idea for today, search your mind for a minute or so, with eyes |
W1:16.4 | which you assign to it, is a suitable subject for applying today's | idea. |
W1:16.5 | In the practice periods, first repeat the | idea, and then as each one crosses your mind, hold it in awareness |
W1:16.7 | As usual, use today's | idea whenever you are aware of a particular thought which arouses |
W1:17.1 | This | idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect |
W1:17.2 | In applying today's | idea, say to yourself, with eyes open: |
W1:18.1 | The | idea for today is another step in learning that the thoughts which |
W1:18.1 | you see are never neutral or unimportant. It also emphasizes the | idea that minds are joined, which will be given increasing stress |
W1:18.2 | Today's | idea does not refer to what you see as much as to how you see it. |
W1:18.3 | Selecting subjects for the application of the | idea randomly, look at each one long enough to say: |
W1:19.1 | The | idea for today is obviously the reason why your seeing does not |
W1:19.2 | the fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a wholly welcome | idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous sense of |
W1:19.2 | are no private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this | idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is |
W1:19.3 | today's exercises require are to be undertaken with eyes closed. The | idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind should be carefully |
W1:19.6 | Apart from the “as needed” application of today's | idea, at least three practice periods are required, shortening the |
W1:20.4 | yourselves throughout the day that you want to see. Today's | idea also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see now. |
W1:20.4 | recognition that you do not see now. Therefore, as you repeat the | idea, you are stating that you are determined to change your present |
W1:20.5 | Repeat today's | idea slowly and positively at least twice an hour today, attempting |
W1:21.1 | The | idea for today is obviously a continuation and extension of the |
W1:21.1 | mind searching periods are necessary in addition to applying the | idea to particular situations as they arise. Five practice periods |
W1:21.2 | In the practice periods, begin by repeating the | idea to yourself. Then close your eyes and search your mind carefully |
W1:22.1 | Today's | idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in |
W1:23.1 | The | idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever |
W1:23.5 | The | idea for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in the |
W1:23.6 | need arises, five practice periods are required in applying today's | idea. As you look about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and |
W1:23.6 | required in applying today's idea. As you look about you, repeat the | idea slowly to yourself and then close your eyes and devote about a |
W1:24.2 | conviction that you do know what they are, you cannot learn. The | idea for today is a step toward opening your mind so that learning |
W1:24.4 | The practice periods begin with repeating today's | idea, followed by searching the mind with closed eyes for unresolved |
W1:25.1 | Purpose is meaning. Today's | idea explains why nothing you see means anything. You do not know |
W1:25.5 | rather than “good” or “bad,” is the only way to accomplish this. The | idea for today is a step in this direction. |
W1:25.6 | Each practice period should begin with a slow repetition of the | idea for today followed by looking about you and letting your glance |
W1:25.8 | the statement. Then move on to the next subject, and apply today's | idea as before. |
W1:26.3 | The | idea for today introduces the thought that you always attack |
W1:26.4 | Practice with today's | idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or |
W1:26.5 | Six practice periods are required in applying today's | idea. A full two minutes should be attempted for each of them, |
W1:26.6 | The practice period should begin with repeating the | idea for today, then closing your eyes and reviewing the unresolved |
W1:26.6 | a longer time than usual should be spent with each one. Today's | idea should be applied as follows: |
W1:26.15 | Conclude each practice period by repeating today's | idea once more. |
W1:27.1 | Today's | idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It gives |
W1:27.1 | priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant about using the | idea on the ground that you are not sure you really mean it. This |
W1:27.1 | The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the | idea will be wholly true a little nearer. |
W1:27.6 | The | idea for today needs many repetitions for maximum benefit. It should |
W1:27.6 | is recommended that you set a definite time interval for using the | idea when you wake or shortly afterwards and attempt to adhere to it |
W1:27.7 | is how often will you remember? How much do you want today's | idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you have answered |
W1:27.7 | that you were perfectly sincere while you were repeating today's | idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many years of |
W1:28.1 | Today we are really giving specific application to the | idea for yesterday. In these practice periods, you will be making a |
W1:28.6 | In using the table as a subject for applying the | idea for today, you are therefore really asking to see the purpose of |
W1:28.7 | We will have six two minute practice periods today in which the | idea for the day is stated first and then applied to whatever you see |
W1:28.7 | randomly, but each one should be accorded equal sincerity as today's | idea is applied to it in an attempt to acknowledge the equal value of |
W1:29.1 | The | idea for today explains why you can see all purpose in anything. It |
W1:29.1 | why nothing you see means anything. In fact, it explains every | idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's |
W1:29.1 | idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's | idea is the whole basis for vision. |
W1:29.2 | You will probably find this | idea very difficult to grasp at this point. You may find it silly, |
W1:29.3 | the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand today's | idea perfectly. And you will not understand how you could ever have |
W1:29.4 | today should follow a now familiar pattern: begin with repeating the | idea to yourself, and then apply it to randomly chosen subjects about |
W1:29.4 | which may be particularly tempting in connection with today's | idea because of its wholly alien nature. Remember that any order you |
W1:29.7 | In addition to the assigned practice periods, repeat the | idea for today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you as you |
W1:30.1 | The | idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the |
W1:30.1 | The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this | idea will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and |
W1:30.3 | Today's | idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the day. |
W1:30.3 | to yourself slowly, looking about you and trying to realize that the | idea applies to everything you do see now or could see now if it were |
W1:30.4 | such as “near” and “far.” To help you begin to get used to this | idea, try to think of things beyond your present range as well as |
W1:30.4 | range as well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's | idea. Real vision is not only unlimited by space and distance, but it |
W1:30.5 | To aid in helping you to become more accustomed to this | idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying today's |
W1:30.5 | idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying today's | idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and |
W1:30.5 | come to mind and looking within rather than without. Today's | idea applies equally to both. |
W1:31.1 | Today's | idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the |
W1:31.1 | idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the | idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the |
W1:31.1 | world you see without and the world you see within. In applying the | idea, we will use a form of practice which will be used more and |
W1:31.1 | speaking, the form includes two aspects, one in which you apply the | idea on a more sustained basis, and the other consisting of frequent |
W1:31.1 | basis, and the other consisting of frequent applications of the | idea throughout the day. |
W1:31.2 | Two longer periods of practice with the | idea for today are needed, one in the morning and one at night. Three |
W1:31.2 | During that time, look about you slowly while repeating the | idea two or three times. Then close your eyes and apply the same idea |
W1:31.2 | the idea two or three times. Then close your eyes and apply the same | idea to your inner world. You will escape from both together, for the |
W1:31.3 | part. As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat today's | idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense of hurry. |
W1:31.4 | In addition, repeat the | idea for today as often as possible during the day. Remind yourself |
W1:31.5 | The | idea for today is a particularly useful one to use as a response to |
W1:32.2 | The | idea for today, like the preceding ones, applies to your inner and |
W1:32.3 | the practice periods for the morning and evening by repeating the | idea for today two or three times while looking around at the world |
W1:32.3 | world. Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the | idea for today unhurriedly as often as you wish as you watch the |
W1:32.5 | often as possible. The shorter applications consist of repeating the | idea slowly as you survey either your inner or outer world. It does |
W1:32.6 | The | idea for today should also be applied immediately to any situation |
W1:32.6 | immediately to any situation which may distress you. Apply the | idea by telling yourself: |
W1:33.1 | Today's | idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of |
W1:33.2 | In these practice periods, the | idea should be repeated as often as you find profitable, though |
W1:33.2 | uninvolved in both and to maintain this detachment as you repeat the | idea throughout the day. |
W1:33.3 | should be as frequent as possible. Specific applications of today's | idea should also be made immediately when any situation arises which |
W1:33.5 | Remember to apply today's | idea the instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to |
W1:33.5 | be necessary to take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the | idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably help |
W1:34.1 | The | idea for today begins to describe the conditions that prevail in the |
W1:34.2 | closed. It is your inner world to which the applications of today's | idea should be made. |
W1:34.3 | harboring unloving thoughts. Note them all casually, repeating the | idea for today slowly as you watch them arise in your mind, and let |
W1:34.4 | difficulty in thinking of specific subjects, continue to repeat the | idea to yourself in an unhurried manner, without applying it to |
W1:34.7 | adverse emotions, such as depression, anxiety, or worry, use the | idea in its original form. If you find you need more than one |
W1:34.7 | form. If you find you need more than one application of today's | idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, try to |
W1:34.7 | try to take several minutes and devote them to repeating the | idea until you feel some sense of relief. It will help you if you |
W1:35.1 | Today's | idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. It does, |
W1:35.3 | The | idea for today presents a very different view of yourself. By |
W1:35.3 | We will use a somewhat different kind of application for today's | idea because the emphasis for today is on the perceiver rather than |
W1:35.4 | three five-minute practice periods today, begin by repeating today's | idea to yourself and then close your eyes and search your mind for |
W1:35.6 | A suitable unselected list for applying the | idea for today might be as follows: |
W1:35.8 | your reactions to that situation, and use them in applying today's | idea. After you have named each one, add: |
W1:35.10 | things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat today's | idea slowly until something occurs to you. Although nothing that does |
W1:35.11 | attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the | idea for today to them, adding the idea to each of them in the form |
W1:35.11 | at the time and apply the idea for today to them, adding the | idea to each of them in the form stated above. If nothing particular |
W1:35.11 | stated above. If nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat the | idea to yourself with closed eyes. |
W1:36.1 | Today's | idea extends the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the |
W1:36.1 | Today's idea extends the | idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the perceived. You are holy |
W1:36.3 | First, close your eyes and repeat the | idea for today several times slowly. Then open your eyes and look |
W1:36.3 | Then open your eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the | idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, |
W1:36.5 | times during these practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the | idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as before. |
W1:36.6 | For the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the | idea; look about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one |
W1:37.1 | This | idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the |
W1:37.2 | There is no other way in which the | idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other |
W1:37.2 | As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor will he have any | idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness |
W1:37.4 | three to five minutes of practice, begin with the repetition of the | idea for today followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you |
W1:37.4 | followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you apply the | idea to whatever you see: |
W1:37.6 | Then close your eyes and apply the | idea to any person who occurs to you, using his name and saying: |
W1:37.8 | with your eyes closed; you may open your eyes again and apply the | idea for today to your outer world if you so desire; you may |
W1:37.8 | outer world if you so desire; you may alternate between applying the | idea to what you see around you and to those who are in your |
W1:37.8 | prefer. The practice period should conclude with a repetition of the | idea with your eyes closed and another following immediately with |
W1:37.9 | The shorter exercises consist of repeating the | idea as often as you can. It is particularly helpful to apply it |
W1:37.9 | you meet, using his name as you do so. It is essential to use the | idea if anyone seems to cause an adverse reaction in you. Offer him |
W1:38.4 | periods, each preferably to last a full five minutes, repeat the | idea for today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any |
W1:38.4 | also the name of the person concerned. Use this form in applying the | idea for today: |
W1:38.9 | In the frequent shorter applications, apply the | idea in its original form unless a specific problem concerning you or |
W1:39.6 | Begin the practice periods as usual by repeating today's | idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving |
W1:39.8 | every thought that stands between you and your salvation. Apply the | idea for today to each one of them in this way: |
W1:39.10 | with several short periods during which you merely repeat today's | idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also find it helpful to |
W1:39.11 | periods in whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the | idea itself in varying the method of applying it. However you elect |
W1:39.11 | varying the method of applying it. However you elect to use it, the | idea should be stated so that its meaning remains that your holiness |
W1:39.12 | End each practice period by repeating the | idea in its original form once more, and adding: |
W1:39.14 | more if possible, you may ask yourself this question, repeat today's | idea, or preferably both. If temptations arise, a particularly |
W1:39.14 | both. If temptations arise, a particularly helpful form of the | idea is: |
W1:40.3 | Today's exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat today's | idea, and then add several of the attributes which you associate with |
W1:41.1 | Today's | idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and |
W1:41.2 | The | idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And |
W1:41.5 | eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today's | idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try |
W1:41.6 | From time to time, you may repeat today's | idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and |
W1:41.8 | Throughout the day, use today's | idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with eyes closed. |
W1:42.1 | The | idea for today combines two very powerful thoughts, both of major |
W1:42.4 | Begin the practice period by repeating the | idea for today slowly with eyes open, looking about you. Then close |
W1:42.4 | eyes open, looking about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the | idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of nothing except |
W1:42.4 | of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's | idea. You might think, for example: |
W1:42.7 | Any thought that is clearly related to the | idea is suitable. You may, in fact, be astonished at the amount of |
W1:42.7 | once more while looking slowly about; close your eyes, repeat the | idea once more, and then continue to look for related thoughts in |
W1:42.8 | the practice period alternating between slow repetitions of the | idea with eyes open, then closed, then open, and so on, than it is to |
W1:42.9 | number of short practice periods which would be most beneficial. The | idea for the day is a beginning step in bringing thoughts together |
W1:42.10 | The more often you repeat the | idea during the day, the more often you will be reminding yourself |
W1:43.5 | At the beginning of these practice periods, repeat the | idea to yourself with eyes open. Then glance around you for a short |
W1:43.5 | eyes open. Then glance around you for a short time, applying the | idea specifically to what you see. Four or five subjects for this |
W1:43.8 | longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat today's | idea again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add |
W1:43.8 | and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the | idea in your own personal way. Thoughts such as: |
W1:43.10 | Or any thought related more or less directly to today's | idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship |
W1:43.10 | suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship to the | idea, but they should not be in opposition to it. |
W1:43.11 | to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out of accord with today's | idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open your |
W1:43.12 | In applying today's | idea in the shorter practice periods, the form may vary according to |
W1:43.15 | The | idea should also be applied throughout the day to various situations |
W1:43.17 | subject presents itself to your awareness, merely repeat the | idea in its original form. |
W1:43.18 | to allow long periods of time to slip by without remembering today's | idea and thus remembering your function. |
W1:44.1 | Today we are continuing with the | idea for yesterday, adding another dimension to it. You cannot see in |
W1:44.7 | Begin the practice period by repeating today's | idea with your eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the idea |
W1:44.7 | idea with your eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the | idea several times more. Then try to sink into your mind, letting go |
W1:44.9 | If resistance rises in any form, pause long enough to repeat today's | idea, keeping your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that |
W1:44.11 | Throughout the day, repeat the | idea often with eyes open or closed as seems better to you at the |
W1:45.1 | Today's | idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing |
W1:45.4 | will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's | idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We |
W1:45.6 | Begin the exercises for today by repeating the | idea to yourself, closing your eyes as you do so. Spend a fairly |
W1:45.6 | period in thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the | idea in mind as you do so. After you have added some four or five |
W1:45.6 | you have added some four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the | idea again, and tell yourself gently: |
W1:45.12 | In using the shorter form for applying today's | idea, try to remember how important it is to you to understand the |
W1:45.12 | mind that thinks with God. Take a minute or two as you repeat the | idea throughout the day to appreciate your mind's holiness. Stand |
W1:46.3 | as possible. Begin the longer practice periods by repeating today's | idea to yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so and spend a |
W1:46.6 | in the best position to forgive yourself. After you have applied the | idea for today to all those who have come to mind, tell yourself, |
W1:46.10 | The form of the applications may vary considerably, but the central | idea should not be lost sight of. You might say, for example: |
W1:46.12 | The practice period should end, however, with a repetition of today's | idea as originally stated. |
W1:46.13 | The shorter applications may consist either of a repetition of the | idea for today in the original or in a related form as you prefer. Be |
W1:47.4 | are urged. Close your eyes and begin as usual by repeating today's | idea. Then spend a minute or two in searching for situations in your |
W1:47.9 | Repeat the | idea for today often. Use it as your answer to any disturbance. |
W1:48.1 | The | idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who |
W1:48.2 | be very short, very simple, and very frequent. Merely repeat the | idea as often as possible. You can use it with your eyes open at any |
W1:48.2 | a minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat the | idea slowly to yourself several times. It is particularly important |
W1:48.2 | several times. It is particularly important that you use the | idea immediately should anything disturb your peace of mind. |
W1:49.5 | Do not forget to repeat today's | idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes open when necessary, but |
W1:49.5 | when possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the | idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the |
W1:50.4 | For ten minutes twice today, morning and evening, let the | idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think |
W1:R1.2 | two minutes or more to each practice period, thinking about the | idea and the related comments. Do this as often as possible during |
W1:R1.3 | It is not necessary to cover the comments that follow each | idea literally or thoroughly in the practice periods. Rather, try |
W1:R1.3 | the central point and think about it as part of your review of the | idea to which it relates. |
W1:R1.4 | After you have read the | idea and the related comments, the exercises should be done with your |
W1:54.4 | have no private thoughts, I cannot see a private world. Even the mad | idea of separation had to be shared before it could form the basis of |
W1:61.2 | To the ego, today's | idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does not |
W1:61.3 | True humility requires that you accept today's | idea because it is God's Voice Which tells you it is true. This is a |
W1:61.4 | You will want to think about this | idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect answer to all |
W1:61.7 | permits. Let a few related thoughts come to you, and repeat the | idea to yourself if your mind wanders away from the central thought. |
W1:61.9 | Today's | idea goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what you are and what |
W1:62.4 | Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing today's | idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It |
W1:62.8 | that they are true. Should your attention wander, repeat the | idea and add: |
W1:63.5 | an opportunity. No chance should be lost for reinforcing today's | idea. |
W1:64.1 | Today's | idea is merely another way of saying, “Let me not wander into |
W1:64.10 | In the frequent applications of today's | idea to be made throughout the day, devote several minutes to |
W1:65.1 | The | idea for today reaffirms your commitment to salvation. It also |
W1:65.2 | period in which you try to understand and accept what today's | idea really means. It offers you escape from all your perceived |
W1:65.5 | For this longer practice period, begin by reviewing the | idea for today. Then close your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself |
W1:65.5 | by reviewing the idea for today. Then close your eyes, repeat the | idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch |
W1:65.6 | make no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the | idea for today. Rather, try to uncover each thought that arises which |
W1:65.11 | Finally, repeat the | idea for today once more and devote the rest of the practice period |
W1:65.12 | undertaken at least once an hour, use this form in applying today's | idea: |
W1:65.14 | you see now that will be totally changed when you accept today's | idea completely. |
W1:66.13 | Today's | idea is another giant stride in the perception of the same as the |
W1:67.1 | Today's | idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is |
W1:67.6 | You may find it necessary to repeat the | idea for today from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You |
W1:67.7 | It will be particularly helpful today to practice the | idea for today as often as you can. You need to hear the truth about |
W1:68.11 | short practice periods should include a quick application of today's | idea in this form, whenever any thought of grievance arises against |
W1:68.13 | In addition, repeat the | idea several times an hour in this form: |
W1:69.9 | want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of today's | idea to you and your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances |
W1:70.1 | more than some form of the basic temptation not to believe the | idea for today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from |
W1:70.2 | The seeming “cost” of accepting today's | idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save you; |
W1:70.3 | Today's | idea places you in charge of the universe, where you belong because |
W1:70.6 | to be sick, because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the | idea for today, we are in agreement with God. He does not want us to |
W1:70.8 | Begin these practice periods by repeating the | idea for today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that |
W1:71.7 | How can you escape all this? Very simply. The | idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation will |
W1:71.9 | the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about today's | idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each making equal |
W1:71.13 | hold grievances today, and respond to them with this form of today's | idea: |
W1:71.15 | Try to remember the | idea for today some six or seven times an hour. There could be no |
W1:73.17 | times an hour. It is most important, however, to apply today's | idea in this form immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of |
W1:74.1 | The | idea for today can be regarded as the central thought toward which |
W1:74.1 | that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has replaced the strange | idea that you are torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the |
W1:74.2 | There is great peace in today's | idea. And the exercises for today are directed towards finding it. |
W1:74.2 | And the exercises for today are directed towards finding it. The | idea itself is wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to |
W1:74.12 | If you feel yourself slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the | idea for today and try again. Do this as often as necessary. There is |
W1:76.2 | could, you would forever seek where it is not and never find it. The | idea for today tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for |
W1:76.12 | Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat today's | idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws but |
W1:80.6 | often today that your problems have been solved. Repeat the | idea with deep conviction as frequently as possible. And be |
W1:80.6 | as possible. And be particularly sure to remember to apply the | idea for today to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly: |
W1:R2.2 | about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the | idea and the comments which are included in the assignments. Devote |
W1:R2.5 | the shorter practice periods as well, using the original form of the | idea for general application and a more specific form when needed. |

W1:89.5 | [78] Let miracles replace all grievances. By this | idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit's and perceive them as |
W1:89.5 | my will with the Holy Spirit's and perceive them as one. By this | idea do I accept my release from hell. By this idea do I express my |

W1:90.3 | Specific applications of this | idea might be in these forms: |
W1:90.6 | These forms of the | idea will be useful for specific applications: |
W1:91.1 | This needs repeating and frequent repeating. It is a central | idea in your new thought system and the perception which it produces. |
W1:91.2 | is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the darkness makes the | idea of light meaningless. |
W1:91.14 | are seen in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with today's | idea. This form would be helpful for this special purpose: |
W1:92.1 | The | idea for today is an extension of the previous one. You do not think |
W1:92.1 | of strength and darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your | idea of what seeing means is tied up with the body and its eyes and |
W1:92.2 | understood the nature of thought, you could but laugh at this insane | idea. It is as if you thought you held the match that lights the sun |
W1:92.11 | meet again in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can the | idea for today and recognize that we are being introduced to sight |
W1:93.17 | you can do much today to bring the conviction to your mind that the | idea for the day is true indeed. |
W1:94.1 | Today we continue with the one | idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes |
W1:94.1 | that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one | idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored. |
W1:95.1 | Today's | idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within |
W1:95.4 | of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the | idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in |
W1:95.5 | of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the | idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using it |
W1:95.9 | and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's | idea. |
W1:95.20 | Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's | idea as frequently as possible and understand each time you do so, |
W1:95.20 | To everyone you meet today be sure to give the promise of today's | idea and tell him this: |
W1:97.1 | Today's | idea identifies you with your One Self. It accepts no split identity, |
W1:98.7 | five minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing today's | idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words will |
W1:98.7 | His words will join with yours and make each repetition of today's | idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure as His |
W1:98.12 | the next five minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat today's | idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you again. Repeat it |
W1:99.9 | You who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the | idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for |
W1:100.8 | Begin the exercises with the thought today's | idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. Only this is |
W1:100.11 | Do not forget the | idea for today between your longer practice periods. It is your Self |
W1:101.1 | Today we will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key | idea in understanding what salvation means. You still believe it asks |
W1:101.6 | thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for today's | idea. God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no |
W1:101.10 | escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now today's | idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster to the |
W1:104.1 | Today's | idea continues with the thought that joy and peace are not but idle |
W1:108.1 | Vision depends upon today's | idea. The light is in it, for it reconciles all seeming opposites. |
W1:110.1 | We will repeat today's | idea from time to time. For this one thought would be enough to save |
W1:110.2 | evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist. Today's | idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your |
W1:110.5 | The healing power of today's | idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great |
W1:110.5 | of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice today's | idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free. |
W1:121.6 | It is not inherent in a mind which cannot sin. As sin was an | idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well, |
W1:126.1 | Today's | idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the world, is |
W1:126.2 | Let us consider what you do believe in place of this | idea. It seems to you that other people are apart from you and able |
W1:126.8 | if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which lies in the | idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for the world. |
W1:126.9 | Give 15 minutes twice today to the attempt to understand today's | idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper place |
W1:126.10 | where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat today's | idea, and ask for help in understanding what it really means. Be |
W1:129.1 | from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the | idea the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is |
W1:131.4 | world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you from an | idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new—an echo of a heritage |
W1:132.9 | Today's | idea is true because the world does not exist. And if it is indeed |
W1:132.10 | be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for today's | idea. You are as God created you. There is no place where you can |
W1:132.14 | and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a world which comes from this | idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but accept the |
W1:134.3 | illusion true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the | idea of sin retains as yet upon your mind as you regard yourself. |
W1:135.16 | and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the | idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future |
W1:137.1 | Today's | idea remains the central thought on which salvation rests. For |
W1:139.6 | Atonement remedies the strange | idea that it is possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you |
W1:R4.7 | with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each | idea you will review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace. |
W1:R4.10 | God has given it as it was given to you through His Voice. Let each | idea that you review that day give you the gift which He has laid in |
W1:153.4 | the frenzy and intensity of which you can conceive that you have no | idea of all the devastation it has wrought. You are its slave. You |
W1:156.1 | Today's | idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin |
W1:157.4 | what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but today's | idea to light your mind and let it rest in still anticipation and in |
W1:158.7 | for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an | idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful |
W1:160.2 | There is a stranger in our midst who comes from an | idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a different language, looks |
W1:161.1 | Here is salvation in the simple words in which we practice today's | idea. Here is the answer to temptation which can never fail to |
W1:161.16 | Today's | idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear. Be sure you use it |
W1:163.7 | The | idea of the death of God is so preposterous that even the insane have |
W1:167.2 | is life's opposite. You call it death. Yet we have learned that the | idea of death takes many forms. It is the one idea which underlies |
W1:167.2 | have learned that the idea of death takes many forms. It is the one | idea which underlies all feelings that are not supremely happy. It is |
W1:167.3 | You think that death is of the body. Yet it is but an | idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. A thought is in the |
W1:167.3 | leave not their source. The emphasis this course has placed on that | idea is due to its centrality in our attempts to change your mind |
W1:169.5 | Oneness is simply the | idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all things. No mind |
W1:170.2 | How thoroughly insane is the | idea that to defend from fear is to attack! For here is fear begot |
W1:170.5 | on its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the | idea stands. First, it is obvious ideas must leave their source. For |
W1:183.7 | No other words we use except at the beginning, when we say today's | idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only thought, our only |
W1:183.9 | His Name. Sit silently, and let His Name become the all-encompassing | idea which holds your mind completely. Let all thoughts be still |
W1:186.2 | Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it. It is not our | idea. The means are given us by which it will be perfectly |
W1:186.3 | Today's | idea may seem quite sobering until you see its meaning. All it says |
W1:187.3 | see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the | idea of giving clarified and given meaning. Now you can perceive that |
W1:187.6 | but to yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at the | idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which |
W1:187.6 | starvation and at death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one | idea that stands behind them all, and in his gentle laughter are they |
W1:187.7 | to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an | idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at once. |
W1:191.5 | But let today's | idea find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above |
W1:194.1 | Today's | idea takes another step toward quick salvation, and a giant stride it |
W1:194.2 | Accept today's | idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all |
W1:194.2 | of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept today's | idea, and you have released the world from all imprisonment by |
W1:196.2 | and with all things held in its sure protection, can be found in the | idea we practice for today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that |
W1:196.3 | you are a body to be crucified. And you will see within today's | idea the light of resurrection, looking past all thoughts of |
W1:196.4 | Today's | idea is one step we take in leading us from bondage to the state of |
W1:196.9 | Salvation's song can certainly be heard in the | idea we practice for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did |
W1:196.12 | between you and the holy peace of God. How kind and merciful is the | idea we practice! Give it welcome, as you should, for it is your |
W1:199.3 | essential for your progress in this course that you accept today's | idea and hold it very dear. Be not concerned that to the ego it is |
W1:199.5 | Cherish today's | idea, and practice it today and every day. Make it a part of every |
W1:199.5 | you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the world with this | idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of the gifts you |
W1:R6.1 | For this review, we take but one | idea each day, and practice it as often as is possible. Besides the |
W1:R6.1 | and the hourly remembrances we make throughout the day, use the | idea as often as you can between them. Each of these ideas alone |
W1:R6.7 | which you denied be given up in sure and quick exchange for the | idea we practice for the day. |
W1:R6.10 | And then repeat the | idea for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought. |
W1:R6.10 | of what you thought. Beyond such special applications of each day's | idea, we will add but few formal expressions for specific thoughts to |
W1:210.1 | [190] I choose the joy of God instead of pain. Pain is my own | idea. It is not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him |
W2:WF.1 | in this view are all your sins forgiven. What is sin except a false | idea about God's Son? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity and |
W2:300.1 | before they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the | idea that lets no false perception keep us in its hold nor represent |
W2:325.1 | What I see reflects a process in my mind which starts with my | idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the |
M:2.2 | apart from time. So is all reality, being of Him. The instant the | idea of separation entered the Mind of God's Son, in that same |
M:2.3 | and long ago passed by is looked upon as a new thought, a fresh | idea, a different approach. Because your will is free, you can accept |
M:4.9 | own sorting-out was meaningless in teaching him the difference. The | idea of sacrifice, so central to his thought system, had made it |
M:5.7 | With this | idea is pain forever gone. But with this idea goes also all confusion |
M:5.7 | With this idea is pain forever gone. But with this | idea goes also all confusion about creation. Does not this follow of |
M:5.7 | generalize and transform the world. The transfer value of one true | idea has no end nor limit. The final outcome of this lesson is the |
M:5.8 | point. The body tells them what to do, and they obey. They have no | idea how insane this concept is. If they even suspected it, they |
M:8.1 | from another with less intensity of appeal. And a more threatening | idea or one conceived of as more desirable by the world's standards |
M:13.5 | as pain. And no one asks for pain if he recognizes it. It is the | idea of sacrifice that makes him blind. He does not see what he is |
M:22.1 | of a wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless | idea, just as special areas of hell in Heaven is inconceivable. |
M:22.3 | to be understood if the teacher of God is to make progress. The | idea that a body can be sick is a central concept in the ego's |
M:22.3 | gives the body autonomy, separates it from the mind, and keeps the | idea of attack inviolate. If the body could be sick, Atonement would |
M:22.4 | actually believe he wants to be sick. Perhaps he can accept the | idea in theory, but it is rarely, if ever, consistently applied to |
M:24.1 | reincarnation is impossible. There is no past nor future, and the | idea of birth into a body has no meaning either once or many times. |
M:24.2 | by those who believe in reincarnation and by those who do not. The | idea cannot, therefore, be regarded as essential to the curriculum. |
M:24.2 | past. There is always some good in any thought which strengthens the | idea that life and the body are not the same. |
M:24.5 | this much is not required of the beginner. He need merely accept the | idea that what he knows is not necessarily all there is to learn. His |
M:27.3 | is the symbol of the fear of God. His love is blotted out in the | idea, which holds it from awareness like a shield held to obscure the |
M:27.6 | “And the last to be overcome will be death.” Of course! Without the | idea of death, there is no world. All dreams will end with this one. |

C:P.9 | to believe in the glory of who they are, few who can lay aside the | idea that to think of themselves in the light of God's thought of |
C:P.35 | Before the coming of the word made flesh, the incarnation, the only | idea humankind could draw of an all-powerful being was a being whose |
C:3.9 | enter you as what they are, not the symbols that they represent. An | idea of love is planted now, in a garden rich with what will make it |
C:3.10 | Everything has birth in an | idea, a thought, a conception. Everything that has been manifested in |
C:3.10 | all completely human and scientifically provable. The birth of an | idea is thus the result of what has come before, of seeing something |
C:3.10 | before, of seeing something old as new, of improving on a former | idea, of taking various information and collecting it into a new |
C:3.13 | You have not given up the | idea that you are in control of what you learn, nor have you accepted |
C:3.18 | You who think this | idea is rife with sentiment, sure to lead you to abandoning logic, |
C:4.17 | fairness, such exchange of equal value. You give your mind to an | idea, your body to a job, your days to activities that do not |
C:5.9 | I pass down; they declare that I was here.” Again you have the right | idea, yet it is so sadly displaced as to make a mockery of who you |
C:6.13 | made, and the life you fear heaven would replace. To give up the | idea that this is where meaning is found, fulfillment attained, |
C:7.1 | in a way that your mind is not. Your mind would hold on to every | idea for what it might bring you, and is resentful of those whose |
C:7.1 | succeed in getting desirable things within this world. “I had that | idea,” you lament when another succeeds where you have failed. “I |
C:7.17 | persons, or situations related to. Now we must expand on this | idea. |
C:7.20 | relationship exists in wholeness. We have begun to dislodge your | idea that you stand separate and alone, a being broken off from all |
C:7.23 | while that it will take you to read these words. Start with this | idea: You will allow for the possibility of a new truth to be |
C:7.23 | truth to be revealed to your waiting heart. Hold in your heart the | idea that as you read these words—and when you finish reading these |
C:8.3 | in truth, no levels separate union at all. As a learning being, the | idea of levels is helpful to you and will aid you in seeing that you |
C:8.26 | think a thing remembered in every smallest detail and yet to have no | idea what the memory is about! All memory is twisted and distorted by |
C:9.11 | All use is predicated on the simple | idea that you do not have what you need. You will continue to believe |
C:9.33 | for eternity and has no use for time. Time too is of your making, an | idea of use gone mad, as once again you have taken something made for |
C:10.31 | that you have better things to do. Yet as much as you resist, the | idea has been planted and you will find yourself, at times that seem |
C:11.2 | are not your own creator. You have made this separation based on the | idea that what created you cannot be one with you. Again this only |
C:11.3 | This is one reason you do not like the | idea that those who would instruct you know more than you now know, |
C:11.4 | attempts at trying hard have long been past. Each exercise is but an | idea, and ideas leave not their source. All ideas here are but ideas |
C:12.3 | tried and failed. For all of you believe that you have tried this | idea called love, and all of you believe you have evidence that it is |
C:12.17 | way a thought that seems to arise out of nowhere can affect you. An | idea, birthed one day, does not seem to have been there the day |
C:12.17 | does not seem to have been there the day before. Perhaps it is the | idea of taking a trip or having a baby, of returning to school, or |
C:12.17 | or having a baby, of returning to school, or quitting a job. This | idea, newly birthed, may seem to come and go, or may grow into an |
C:12.17 | either way, it leaves not its source. And without the birth of the | idea, the results of the idea would not come to be. You may have a |
C:12.17 | its source. And without the birth of the idea, the results of the | idea would not come to be. You may have a thousand ideas one day and |
C:12.18 | You may very well say, however, that an | idea seemed to take on a life of its own and compel you to do things |
C:12.18 | wonder how they got from here to there, and some may see that one | idea took root and changed what seemed to be a destiny already |
C:12.19 | near as words can describe the separation, this is what occurred: An | idea of separation entered the mind of God's son. Like any idea of |
C:12.19 | An idea of separation entered the mind of God's son. Like any | idea of yours, this idea did not leave its Source nor change the |
C:12.19 | entered the mind of God's son. Like any idea of yours, this | idea did not leave its Source nor change the essence of its Source in |
C:12.19 | Source nor change the essence of its Source in any way. While the | idea of taking an adventurous vacation when brought to fruition might |
C:12.20 | From the | idea of separation came the idea of an external aspect of life. |
C:12.20 | From the idea of separation came the | idea of an external aspect of life. Before the idea of the |
C:12.20 | separation came the idea of an external aspect of life. Before the | idea of the separation, there was no such thing—and there still is |
C:12.20 | there still is no such thing except as an extension of the original | idea. Just as we discussed your desire to protect or to control |
C:12.20 | so too is it with the external aspect of life. Without the original | idea of separation, the external aspect of life would not exist. Just |
C:12.21 | The Father did not prevent the | idea of separation from taking place, and could not any more than you |
C:12.21 | from taking place, and could not any more than you could prevent an | idea from occurring to you. Just as an idea of yours, once born, |
C:12.21 | than you could prevent an idea from occurring to you. Just as an | idea of yours, once born, continues to exist, so too, did this idea |
C:12.21 | as an idea of yours, once born, continues to exist, so too, did this | idea of separation. But just as your ideas do not take on a life of |
C:12.21 | take on a life of their own even though they at times seem to, this | idea as well had no ability to be more than what it was, except for |
C:12.22 | Thus, the son's participation in the | idea of separation seemed to bring about a completely reshaped life, |
C:12.22 | Yet this participation could not but proceed from the original | idea and could not proceed in reality but only in the external aspect |
C:12.22 | but only in the external aspect of life that preceded it. The | idea of separation changed nothing in reality, but became a drama |
C:12.25 | into creation, and you are that extension and as holy as is he. The | idea of separation only seems to have made God's son susceptible to |
C:14.10 | fit your goal of separation as neatly and conveniently as does your | idea of heaven. For what you require of love is that it set you apart |
C:14.10 | brothers and sisters. The more that is required is all to feed your | idea of your own specialness. You look for constant verification that |
C:16.17 | relationship that cannot be replaced. Judgment thus reinforces the | idea of separation, making of it something even darker than it |
C:18.6 | it is, a learning device given you by a loving creator. Before the | idea of separation, there was no need for learning. But a loving |
C:18.8 | learn in and from, for as long as you would choose to learn what the | idea of separation would teach you. Making a new choice, a choice to |
C:18.9 | look at the world that was created from your wish to learn what the | idea of separation would teach you. When you resided in unity, you |
C:18.9 | involvement this learning would require. In order to learn what the | idea of separation would teach you, you needed to believe that you |
C:18.13 | unity, learning from what unity can teach you must be birthed as an | idea. To hear or learn of another's idea is not to give birth to it. |
C:18.13 | teach you must be birthed as an idea. To hear or learn of another's | idea is not to give birth to it. You thus must each experience the |
C:18.13 | to give birth to it. You thus must each experience the birth of the | idea of learning from unity in order for it to come from within and |
C:18.13 | in order for it to come from within and leave not its source. An | idea of mine can only become an idea of yours through your |
C:18.13 | within and leave not its source. An idea of mine can only become an | idea of yours through your relationship with it. You need only to |
C:18.13 | through your relationship with it. You need only to experience this | idea in your own way, from the desire to know from which all ideas |
C:18.14 | Once an | idea is born, it exists in relationship to its creator. All that |
C:19.24 | part of you is always free to redeem the guilt-filled self. This | idea of self-redemption has long been a culprit that has kept union, |
C:20.45 | Your ideas of service are bound to your ideas of charity. Your | idea of charity is based on some having more and some having less. |
C:20.45 | serving and service. 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 |
C:20.45 | keep in mind that the idea of to serve is being used to replace the | idea of to use and is its opposite. It replaces the thought of taking |
C:22.3 | A prime image of this | idea is provided by the axis. A line passes through a circle and the |
C:22.6 | however, concentrate upon a passing through rather than upon an | idea of division, and they help to show that even what is divided by |
C:22.15 | this takes is a pass-through approach and a relinquishment of the | idea of bringing things to a stop where they can be examined under a |

C:25.8 | from subject/object relationships to the relationship of unity, the | idea of one who is devoted, and of those for whom devotion is |

C:26.21 | You are a thought of a God. An idea. This thought, or | idea, is what you seek. It can be found only at its source. Its |
C:26.22 | with no plot. This would be the same as saying that there was no | idea brought to completion within the pages or on the film. In God's |
C:26.22 | idea brought to completion within the pages or on the film. In God's | idea of you is all that is known about you. God's idea of you is |
C:26.22 | the film. In God's idea of you is all that is known about you. God's | idea of you is perfect, and until now your form has been but an |
C:26.22 | now your form has been but an imperfect representation of God's | idea. In God's idea of you is the pattern of the universe, much as |
C:26.22 | has been but an imperfect representation of God's idea. In God's | idea of you is the pattern of the universe, much as within a novel, |
C:26.22 | much as within a novel, movie, piece of music, invention or artistic | idea is the completion of the pattern that will make that idea a |
C:26.22 | artistic idea is the completion of the pattern that will make that | idea a masterpiece. An idea is irrevocably linked with its source and |
C:26.22 | completion of the pattern that will make that idea a masterpiece. An | idea is irrevocably linked with its source and one with its source. |
C:26.22 | one with its source. There was no God separate from you to have this | idea of you. You were birthed in unison with God's idea of you. |
C:26.22 | you to have this idea of you. You were birthed in unison with God's | idea of you. |
C:26.23 | of your answers. Acceptance of your birth in unison with God's | idea of you is acceptance of your Self as co-creator of the pattern |
C:26.23 | Self as co-creator of the pattern of the universe, acceptance of the | idea or the story that is you. Can you not see that you were birthed |
C:26.27 | I fulfilled my story, my pattern, the | idea of me that came from the thought of God. In doing so, I restored |
C:27.10 | diminished and lacking in identity just by contemplating such an | idea. And so you must be reassured of the Self you are. |
C:29.2 | Your function cannot be known to you while you shy away from the | idea of service. Whether you realize it or not, you associate service |
C:29.2 | it or not, you associate service with subjugation, particularly the | idea of service to a higher Will or higher Cause. Some of you |
C:29.3 | have so worried over what to do have both welcomed and feared the | idea of some kind of service being required of you. There is no |
C:29.3 | service being required of you. There is no mystery to this, as the | idea of service in your society is one of enforced duty, as |
C:29.16 | the interaction within which service occurs. The replacement of the | idea of service with the idea of use made for the existence of |
C:29.16 | service occurs. The replacement of the idea of service with the | idea of use made for the existence of special relationships. The idea |
C:29.16 | the idea of use made for the existence of special relationships. The | idea of use created all ideas of toil as the only means of having |
C:29.16 | created all ideas of toil as the only means of having needs met. The | idea of use created all notions of distrust, starting with—as we |
C:31.2 | The | idea of sharing one heart, one heartbeat, one love, is not so |
C:31.2 | heart, one heartbeat, one love, is not so unacceptable to you as the | idea of sharing one mind. Your thoughts, you feel, are your own, |
C:31.7 | of you with brain, an interchangeable word that conveys the same | idea. Mind is the control center, that which remembers and stores |
C:31.9 | no one argues this point, yet you allow yourself to resist the whole | idea of God because you believe that what is one cannot also be many. |
C:31.14 | The ego is that part of yourself that clings to the | idea of separation, and thus cannot grasp the basic truth of your |
C:31.18 | some need to confess, think a moment about why you are worried. The | idea of confessing is an idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of who |
C:31.18 | a moment about why you are worried. The idea of confessing is an | idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of who you are being all tied |
C:31.25 | share the truth with you nor with anyone else. The ego invented the | idea of “telling” the truth and using it as an opposite to telling an |
T1:3.20 | that God would grant miracles on such a whim, such a fanciful | idea as that of your being convinced of your own power. How could |
T1:4.11 | you have seen this call incorrectly as a call to be responsible. The | idea of responsibility sprang from the ego-mind that would usurp the |
T1:4.12 | be your children. Another of which might be your talents. It is the | idea of your responsibility for these gifts that has led to your |
T1:4.27 | of the Bible and many other religious texts, the word or | idea of awe has been confused with the word or idea of fear. A Course |
T1:4.27 | texts, the word or idea of awe has been confused with the word or | idea of fear. A Course in Miracles told you that awe is the |
T2:1.8 | because you think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used the | idea of place as a teaching aid. But you are ready now to begin to |
T2:2.1 | the heart that speaks to you in terms that are consistent with the | idea you currently hold of hearing a call or having a calling. |
T2:2.9 | prevents you from being who you are is far broader than this simple | idea of hearing and following a calling would indicate. You think |
T2:3.6 | If you still balk at the | idea that the Christ could be in need of learning, then your idea of |
T2:3.6 | at the idea that the Christ could be in need of learning, then your | idea of the Christ is still based on an old way of thinking, as are |
T2:3.7 | are not linear as you have perceived them to be. If we return to the | idea of talents this may be easier to explain. If the ability to |
T2:4.2 | is acted out upon you but that you are acted out upon creation. The | idea of creation as something static would be completely contrary to |
T2:4.7 | occurs within your life. Let us look now at your reaction to the | idea put forth earlier of having a calling. |
T2:4.8 | relates to you there are few among you who have not reacted to the | idea of calling with two sets of feelings and thoughts. One set of |
T2:7.4 | First let us replace your | idea of “others” with the idea of “relationship” that has been so |

T2:7.10 | Here is an | idea not heretofore given much attention, the idea of the desire for |
T2:7.10 | Here is an idea not heretofore given much attention, the | idea of the desire for change. Certainly there will continue to be |
T2:8.5 | called to a static acceptance that does not include change, this new | idea of acceptance requires further clarification. |
T2:9.3 | relates to your ability to let go. As many of you will find the | idea of letting go of special relationships among the most difficult |
T2:11.4 | of your body as your identity and your home has given way to an | idea of it as a form that can be of service to you and your |
T3:2.10 | moment between the unreal and the real. All you await is an | idea, a remembrance of the original idea about your personal self. |
T3:2.10 | the real. All you await is an idea, a remembrance of the original | idea about your personal self. |
T3:2.11 | paradise for your sins. We have worked, thus far, to change your | idea of a vengeful God. Now we work to change your idea of a vengeful |
T3:2.11 | to change your idea of a vengeful God. Now we work to change your | idea of a vengeful self. For what else would such a self be? |
T3:2.12 | and daughters of God. This discussion may have seemed to accept the | idea of a self as highly developed as an adolescent child, a self who |
T3:2.13 | thinking behind, this thinking must be quickly replaced with a new | idea about yourself or its hold on you will remain. |
T3:3.9 | moments, but something always and eventually calls you back to the | idea that you are not good enough or that you do not want to put the |
T3:3.10 | who you are was the ego. The ego is gone. The ego was simply your | idea of who you were. This idea was a complex set of judgments, of |
T3:3.10 | The ego is gone. The ego was simply your idea of who you were. This | idea was a complex set of judgments, of good and bad, right and |
T3:3.10 | endless as it was worthless. Realize now the worthlessness of this | idea and let it go. |
T3:4.3 | matters. Ideas are the foundation of the self. You cannot have an | idea of goodness without having an idea of evil. You cannot have an |
T3:4.3 | of the self. You cannot have an idea of goodness without having an | idea of evil. You cannot have an idea of an ideal state without |
T3:4.3 | idea of goodness without having an idea of evil. You cannot have an | idea of an ideal state without having an idea of a state that is not |
T3:4.3 | of evil. You cannot have an idea of an ideal state without having an | idea of a state that is not ideal. You cannot have an idea you call |
T3:4.3 | having an idea of a state that is not ideal. You cannot have an | idea you call “right” without believing in an idea that can be |
T3:4.3 | You cannot have an idea you call “right” without believing in an | idea that can be “wrong.” |
T3:4.4 | The ego made such ideas necessary for the | idea of the ego was “wrong” or inaccurate. The only way to bring that |
T3:6.1 | to be given to in return for what you give. This stems from your | idea of yourself as a “child” of God, and a notion that would seem to |
T3:6.2 | to do with your former notions of God and your own self. It is an | idea that has been transferred to all of life, much as the idea of an |
T3:6.2 | It is an idea that has been transferred to all of life, much as the | idea of an unlovable self was transferred into all areas of life |
T3:6.3 | that seem to make it possible for you to live within your world. The | idea of reward transfers to ideas related to comparison as well, as |
T3:6.4 | you many reasons to be distrustful of your Self, beginning with the | idea of your abandonment here. Since the ego is a chosen self and a |
T3:6.4 | enough room within the ego's thought system to keep within you the | idea of a self the ego is not. Thus has the ego had a self to blame |
T3:6.5 | of will, to pierce the holiness of your hearts. Bitterness and the | idea of vengeance go hand-in-hand. This is the idea of “an eye for an |
T3:6.5 | Bitterness and the idea of vengeance go hand-in-hand. This is the | idea of “an eye for an eye” or the exact opposite of the idea of |
T3:6.5 | This is the idea of “an eye for an eye” or the exact opposite of the | idea of “turning the other cheek.” While this may seem like the very |
T3:6.5 | idea of “turning the other cheek.” While this may seem like the very | idea of evil which I have denied the existence of, it is not evil but |
T3:6.5 | being that it is just another word, it is one chosen to introduce an | idea of such fallacy that it rivals only the ego in its destructive |
T3:6.5 | your heart what the ego has been to your mind. It is the one false | idea that has entered this holiest of places, this abode of Christ, |
T3:7.1 | on Unity,” to speaking here of ideas. God's thought of you is an | idea of absolute truth. Your existence derives from this idea and |
T3:7.1 | you is an idea of absolute truth. Your existence derives from this | idea and this truth. The ego's existence derived from your idea of a |
T3:7.1 | from this idea and this truth. The ego's existence derived from your | idea of a separated self, a thought, or idea, of absolute untruth. |
T3:7.1 | existence derived from your idea of a separated self, a thought, or | idea, of absolute untruth. The ego's thought system then formed |
T3:7.1 | ego's thought system then formed beliefs that supported the initial | idea of the separation. Where is there a corresponding belief system |
T3:7.1 | Where is there a corresponding belief system that formed around the | idea of God? |
T3:7.2 | or thoughts. If you believe that God created you with a thought or | idea, then you can begin to see the power of thought. If you can |
T3:7.2 | If you can believe that you created the ego with a thought or an | idea, you can see where the power of thought is your power as well as |
T3:7.4 | who you are, even here within the human experience. This is the | idea that is beyond compare as you are beyond compare and the truth |
T3:7.4 | are beyond compare and the truth is beyond compare. This is the only | idea that holds true meaning and so all meaning is found within it. |
T3:7.4 | and so all meaning is found within it. Thus we start with this | idea. |
T3:7.9 | Now you have seized upon even this | idea and called it not treasure but theory and related it to the |
T3:8.3 | been taken on such a long journey before we ever once talked of an | idea as crucial as that of bitterness. This bitterness has been a |
T3:8.4 | Although at this moment it may be hard for you to conceive of the | idea of bitterness as something that you are attached to, I want you |
T3:8.4 | how bitterness does indeed fit into this category. Bitterness is an | idea intrinsically tied to the personal self and the experience of |
T3:8.5 | self. 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 |
T3:8.7 | As was said in A Course of Love, the | idea of suffering is what has gone so wrong within God's creation. As |
T3:8.7 | creation. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought,” the | idea of love can replace the idea of suffering but it is chosen not |
T3:8.7 | “A Treatise on the Art of Thought,” the idea of love can replace the | idea of suffering but it is chosen not because of the suffering that |
T3:8.11 | If what was looked for were means of making life easier, why not the | idea of machinery and tools that would seem to do so? If what was |
T3:8.12 | gone on for countless ages simply due to your inability to birth the | idea of an end to suffering? |
T3:8.13 | Let us now put an end to this acceptance through the birth of a new | idea. |
T3:9.1 | This | idea is an idea of love. It is an idea that makes perfect sense and |
T3:9.1 | This idea is an | idea of love. It is an idea that makes perfect sense and it is its |
T3:9.1 | This idea is an idea of love. It is an | idea that makes perfect sense and it is its very sense that makes it |
T3:9.1 | sense that makes it seem meaningless in a world gone mad. It is an | idea that says only that which comes from love is real. It is an idea |
T3:9.1 | an idea that says only that which comes from love is real. It is an | idea that says only that which fits within the laws of love is |
T3:9.1 | only that which fits within the laws of love is reality. It is an | idea that says all that love would not create does not exist. It is |
T3:9.1 | that says all that love would not create does not exist. It is an | idea that says that if you live from love and within love's laws you |
T3:9.1 | from love and within love's laws you will create only love. It is an | idea that accepts that this can be done and can be done by you in the |
T3:10.3 | to get to the “hard part” of this Course may find it here. The | idea of blame is incongruous with the idea of a benevolent Creator |
T3:10.3 | Course may find it here. The idea of blame is incongruous with the | idea of a benevolent Creator and a benevolent creation and as such is |
T3:10.4 | Taking away the | idea of placing blame will change your thought processes beyond your |
T3:10.5 | will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would attach to this | idea, thoughts that have formed a chain-reaction of situations and |
T3:10.5 | and behaviors that you had no realization were birthed from the | idea of blame. Although I offer it not as a replacement, what you |
T3:10.5 | what you will find will come in the place of blame is an | idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is needed now. |
T3:10.5 | come in the place of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an | idea that is needed now. |
T3:13.5 | believed in the laws of man, laws that were made to perpetuate the | idea that you must pay for everything, or earn everything that you |
T3:13.6 | place to start because each of you are tempted to hang on to this | idea despite all that it has cost you. To replace this idea with the |
T3:13.6 | on to this idea despite all that it has cost you. To replace this | idea with the idea of there being no loss but only gain under the |
T3:13.6 | idea despite all 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 |
T3:13.7 | I say this is a simple place to start because you can put this new | idea into practice today and every day by simply refusing the |
T3:13.7 | in concepts such as earning and paying. How you implement this | idea will be your choice. But the idea that you do not have to earn |
T3:13.7 | and paying. How you implement this idea will be your choice. But the | idea that you do not have to earn your way nor pay your way must be |
T3:13.7 | of your survival needs, this is far from the only area in which the | idea of earning or paying your way can be found. This old idea is |
T3:13.7 | which the idea of earning or paying your way can be found. This old | idea is consistent with all beliefs of an “if this then that” nature. |
T3:13.7 | of an “if this then that” nature. You might start practicing this | idea by repeating these words to yourself: |
T3:13.10 | you will change to reflect the fact that you have accepted this new | idea. Choose an act that will cause you no fear to begin with. For |
T3:13.10 | instance, you might tell yourself something such as this: “I have an | idea that if I sleep as long as I feel I need to sleep in the |
T3:13.10 | money each day that you ordinarily would not spend, always with the | idea in mind that this will not affect your budget in any negative |
T3:13.12 | from whatever action your ideas have suggested. You must birth the | idea of having no reason to fear these consequences, no matter what |
T3:13.12 | no matter what they may be. You must, in truth, birth the | idea of benevolence and abundance. |
T3:13.13 | the need for action, but one of the factors that distinguishes an | idea from a belief is a requirement of action. That action, while not |
T3:14.5 | forgotten: You would not be other than who you are. This is a key | idea that will help you immeasurably in leaving behind patterns of |
T3:14.13 | of blame and how you are unaware of all that proceeds from the | idea of blame, so too is it with the past. Like a story yet to be |
T3:15.2 | be different than they once were. The only true departure from this | idea has concerned the occasions of birth and death. This is |
T3:15.3 | New beginnings do not occur outside of relationship. The | idea of special relationship is one that hampers new beginnings. |
T3:15.4 | There is always some “thing” that is expected to change. This | idea is countered internally, however, by the idea that at some basic |
T3:15.4 | to change. This idea is countered internally, however, by the | idea that at some basic level, human beings do not change. You cannot |
T3:15.7 | You must now birth the | idea that human beings do indeed change. While you have known |
T3:15.7 | a center to each that is unchangeable, you must now give up the | idea that this core or center has been represented by the past. You |
T3:15.7 | core or center has been represented by the past. You must forget the | idea that the future cannot be different than the past. |
T3:15.16 | What we are adding now to these beliefs is the | idea that these beliefs can be represented in form. These beliefs |
T3:16.3 | You must forget the | idea that you can create the new from the old. If this were possible, |
T3:16.8 | key to resisting these temptations is not resistance at all but the | idea that you are already accomplished. Keeping this idea in the |
T3:16.8 | at all but the idea that you are already accomplished. Keeping this | idea in the forefront of your mind and heart will aid the translation |
T3:16.12 | key to resisting these temptations is not resistance at all but the | idea that there is no loss but only gain within the laws of love. |
T3:16.14 | and expectations of others are temptations that arise from your old | idea of special relationships. All of your plans to do good and be |
T3:16.15 | Now you must forget the | idea of needing to maintain specialness. A key aid in helping you to |
T3:16.15 | A key aid in helping you to put this temptation behind you is the | idea of the holy relationship in which all exist in unity and within |
T3:16.15 | and within the protection of love's embrace. If you but live by the | idea that representing who you are in truth will create a new heaven |
T3:17.2 | naming of creatures. It was the beginning of perception and of the | idea that what was observable was “other than” he who did the |
T3:18.10 | as you can observe with your eyes open. You can observe by having an | idea of another's health, abundance, peace, and happiness. You can |
T3:20.13 | effect, the manner of living practiced by those who have birthed the | idea that cause and effect are one in truth. |
T3:21.16 | All of these things have contributed to your | idea that you are a separate being and as such incapable of truly |
T3:21.24 | who will lead the way for others to follow. Do not give in to the | idea that one special one is needed nor give to any one a role you |
T4:1.3 | own worthiness, and particularly in your own chosenness. It is this | idea of being chosen that will cause your mind to conclude that some |
T4:1.4 | the beliefs of all of the world's religions are but related to this | idea of choosing, a process of the free will with which you all are |
T4:1.14 | people, so much calamity would not have befallen them. And so the | idea of choice rears its head again and wraps the simple statement |
T4:2.10 | The | idea of separation is an idea that is not consistent with the idea of |
T4:2.10 | The idea of separation is an | idea that is not consistent with the idea of unity. If you proceed |
T4:2.10 | The idea of separation is an idea that is not consistent with the | idea of unity. If you proceed into this new time thinking that this |
T4:2.27 | Let this | idea gestate a moment within you and reveal to you the truth of which |
T4:2.31 | and clues previously unseen? Have you included other senses in your | idea of sight? Have you thought your instincts will be sharpened and |
T4:3.6 | The fear that was birthed along with the erroneously inherited | idea that it was your nature to be separate and alone and thus |
T4:3.6 | in it and beyond it, including God, weighed and balanced against the | idea of fear. |
T4:3.14 | The | idea of everlasting life in form has seemed a curse to some, a |
T4:4.4 | Even before the planet reached the state of over-population, this | idea was much in evidence. The passing of a parent was seen, |
T4:4.5 | in the form of the “son of God.” In the time in which I lived, the | idea of inheritance was an even stronger idea, an idea with much more |
T4:4.5 | time in which I lived, the idea of inheritance was an even stronger | idea, an idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent |
T4:4.5 | which I lived, the idea of inheritance was an even stronger idea, an | idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent within the |
T4:4.5 | idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent within the | idea of inheritance was an idea of passing as well as an idea of |
T4:4.5 | in current times. Inherent within the idea of inheritance was an | idea of passing as well as an idea of continuity. What belonged to |
T4:4.5 | within the idea of inheritance was an idea of passing as well as an | idea of continuity. What belonged to the Father passed to the son and |
T4:4.7 | This | idea of inheritance is a natural idea arising from the nature of |
T4:4.7 | This idea of inheritance is a natural | idea arising from the nature of creation itself. It is an idea of |
T4:4.7 | a natural idea arising from the nature of creation itself. It is an | idea of continuity that is an idea consistent with that of creation. |
T4:4.7 | nature of creation itself. It is an idea of continuity that is an | idea consistent with that of creation. There is no discontinuity |
T4:4.17 | Can you not see the necessity of removing the | idea that your true Self will be returned to you only through death? |
T4:12.10 | however, to find what an enormous difference the release of this | idea will make in your capacity to express who you are. As long as |
T4:12.10 | be vigilant of your thought patterns so that you eradicate the | idea of learning in separation and replace it with the idea of |
T4:12.10 | eradicate the idea of learning in separation and replace it with the | idea of sharing in unity. Learning is a condition of the separated |
T4:12.13 | But what of the questions it raises? Do you not respond to the | idea of continual contentment with doubt? Not only doubt that it can |
T4:12.13 | them behind? Are you willing, for instance, to leave behind the | idea that contentment cannot and should not last? That lasting |
T4:12.13 | peace, would somehow stunt your growth? Can you see that your | idea of growth was synonymous with your idea of learning? That you |
T4:12.13 | Can you see that your idea of growth was synonymous with your | idea of learning? That you were always both awaiting and dreading |
T4:12.18 | past. Spread the joyous news! Tell only joyous stories. Advance the | idea of joyous challenges that allow for all the creativity you have |
T4:12.18 | into challenges of the past but without the struggle. Let not the | idea of struggle take hold in the new. Let not the idea of fear take |
T4:12.18 | Let not the idea of struggle take hold in the new. Let not the | idea of fear take hold in the new. Let not the idea of judgment take |
T4:12.18 | the new. Let not the idea of fear take hold in the new. Let not the | idea of judgment take hold in the new. Announce far and wide freedom |
D:3.8 | Let us talk again for a moment of the | idea of giving and receiving as one that was introduced within A |
D:3.8 | Treatise on Unity and Its Recognition”. Let's talk of this now as an | idea, rather than as something learned, and as an idea for you to |
D:3.8 | of this now as an idea, rather than as something learned, and as an | idea for you to carry forward with you into the new. This is the |
D:3.11 | and receiving are one in truth is best understood by taking away the | idea of one who gives and one who receives. If all are one, such |
D:3.11 | all are one, such ideas make no sense. This would seem to make the | idea of giving and receiving as one senseless as well. In a way, this |
D:3.12 | All ideas leave not their source, thus giving and receiving is an | idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart from form. Giving and |
D:3.14 | Giving and receiving as one has become one in form as well as one in | idea. What this means, simply stated once again, is that giving and |
D:4.3 | It is time now for this | idea to be accepted, for if it is not, you will remain in the prison |
D:4.5 | For the moment, disregard any | idea you may have of there being those who deserve the prison system |
D:4.11 | Let us begin by coming to agreement about the | idea of divine design. This divine design could also be called |
D:4.11 | old and accept the new. In this case, the old you would deny is the | idea of a purposeless existence, a universe with no divine order, a |
D:4.11 | divine order, a life in which you are at the mercy of fate. The new | idea you are asked to accept is that existence is purposeful, that |
D:4.14 | are both divinely inspired and products of the separated self. The | idea of giving and receiving as one might be thought of as a divinely |
D:6.19 | see that these attitudes are not ruled by certainty, but by a mere | idea of bettering the odds against what fate may offer. |
D:6.20 | Like all the systems you believe in, it is a system too, an internal | idea given a name, externalized, and blamed for all that you do not |
D:8.2 | is needed. Ah, you might say now, this you have heard before. This | idea of no longer needing to learn has intrigued you since it was |
D:8.3 | ideas we leave behind as we concentrate instead on the very simple | idea of each of you containing a natural ability or talent that |
D:8.3 | in some form prior to the time of learning. We concentrate on this | idea merely as an idea and not in terms of the specific ability it |
D:8.3 | to the time of learning. We concentrate on this idea merely as an | idea and not in terms of the specific ability it may represent. We |
D:8.3 | of the specific ability it may represent. We concentrate on this | idea as the first parameter of the territory of your conscious |
D:8.5 | neither earned nor worked hard to attain. To imagine this as an | idea is to imagine this “given” Self as the Self that exists beyond |
D:8.6 | This | idea will aid you too in your understanding of discovery, as your |
D:8.7 | conscious awareness. Thus, like the home in which you reside, the | idea that you have an already existing awareness of the Source of |
D:9.5 | learning self. When it was said within this Course that you are an | idea of God, and when ideas were spoken of as if they were synonymous |
D:9.12 | previous learning and thinking merely resulted eventually in a new | idea being birthed, but this is not the case. Heredity can be cited |
D:9.12 | but that which already exists within you? So too is it with an | idea. An idea already exists within you, but is awaiting its birth |
D:9.12 | that which already exists within you? So too is it with an idea. An | idea already exists within you, but is awaiting its birth through you. |
D:11.2 | dear brothers and sisters, is insane. To think of the thought or | idea of God by which you were created as the same type of thought I |
D:11.3 | I am and I extend what I am. This dialogue is that extension. God's | idea of you extended and became you and me and all the sons and |
D:11.5 | and attacked it as they attack all problems to be solved. The | idea of making a contribution has begun to receive the attention of |
D:11.8 | Now I return you to your | idea of how these words have come to you, for if you can fully accept |
D:11.13 | tell you something of the nature of who you are if you but let this | idea dwell within you and take up residence in your heart. We are the |
D:12.2 | them either through her thoughts or through her ears, as in the | idea of “hearing” words. The receiver of these words, in fact, |
D:12.9 | as a condition of mindfulness, and mindfulness is much closer to the | idea of wholeheartedness, or sharing in unity—the state of which we |
D:12.10 | in a reflective moment at the end of the day. Again we will see the | idea of thoughts “coming to you” at such times. This is not the |
D:12.12 | I am attempting to help you to become aware and comfortable with the | idea that, released of old patterns, the self will join with unity |
D:12.13 | that will assist you in leaving patterns of thinking behind is the | idea that thought as we are describing it, the thought that is not |
D:12.13 | 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 entry, and the |
D:12.13 | be of the body. The main idea to hold in your mind and heart is the | idea of entry, and the idea that what comes of unity does not need |
D:12.13 | idea to hold in your mind and heart is the idea of entry, and the | idea that what comes of unity does not need access through your |
D:12.13 | or any of what you consider to be your senses. Along with this main | idea it is essential for you to realize that this is not so strange |
D:12.14 | Now that you are coming to a more clear | idea of what the “thoughts” that come to you from unity may be like, |
D:12.15 | you really know something, that this wasn't your usual opinion or | idea you were offering up for discussion, but something you knew the |
D:13.4 | come in a flash, and is, in a sense, a humorous metaphor for the | idea of a divine “ray” of light descending and granting |
D:13.8 | This perceived state is synonymous with the personal self, with the | idea of individuality, with separate thoughts, and with the idea that |
D:13.8 | with the idea of individuality, with separate thoughts, and with the | idea that no one will ever be able to truly know you. But join with |
D:13.11 | now to the second part of what we are exploring together here, the | idea that what you come to know may literally not be sharable with |
D:14.2 | Here it will be helpful to keep in mind the | idea of “as within, so without.” We are not leaving the Self to |
D:14.9 | of unity in which all exist along with you, was advanced by the | idea of acceptance you took to heart earlier, and paves the way for |
D:14.12 | form or manifestation. You already are manifest in form, and so the | idea of becoming that has been with humankind throughout time must |
D:15.2 | examples to illustrate the principle of movement as life itself, the | idea of lack of movement as lack of life. |
D:15.16 | is maintained and sustained. Let us begin with the | idea of maintenance and proceed to the idea of sustenance. |

D:15.17 | is the primary difference between the idea of maintenance and the | idea of sustenance. |
D:15.19 | And so we begin with the | idea of maintenance of your relationship with unity. You have |
D:15.21 | Let this | idea enter you now. You have left behind the conditions of learning. |
D:Day1.18 | moment of Adam and Eve and the fall from paradise. Let us extend our | idea of the creation story to include the creation of man and woman. |
D:Day2.8 | your unworthiness. Part of this feeling arises from the erroneous | idea that you can fail, even here. These are the temptations that |
D:Day2.11 | but this difference does not place these actions beyond the | idea of acceptance. |
D:Day2.16 | This is an example from my own life, an example the | idea of which still plagues many of you. This example is that of the |
D:Day2.17 | eternal life, but not until you have suffered as I suffered. This | idea would hardly be a joyful idea with which to begin our work |
D:Day2.17 | you have suffered as I suffered. This idea would hardly be a joyful | idea with which to begin our work together. |
D:Day2.21 | begin with the recognition of who I am. This is symbolic of the | idea put forth here that until you are aware of who you are, your |
D:Day2.24 | knew who I was and chose no suffering. This is what is meant by the | idea that has been repeated as “I died for your sins.” My death was |
D:Day3.6 | reaction to this statement. Some of you will feel excitement at the | idea of this issue being finally discussed; but be aware of your |
D:Day3.9 | Just posing the | idea that having a spiritual context for your life will assist you in |
D:Day3.9 | of which you are more accepting. But given time to consider such an | idea, you are likely to become more and more agitated, to go back and |
D:Day3.11 | Let us return for a minute to the base | idea behind the issue of money or abundance: the way you have |
D:Day3.12 | of talent and inspired ideas to bring them wealth. This is the | idea of bartering, which we have spoken of before, or bargaining, |
D:Day3.12 | or bargaining, which we will speak more of here. It is the base | idea that is behind all ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly |
D:Day3.12 | of here. It is the base idea that is behind all ideas of lack, an | idea you so thoroughly learned during the time of learning that |
D:Day3.12 | it go, even now, still torments you with worry and anger. It is the | idea of an “if this, then that” world. An idea of a world in which |
D:Day3.12 | worry and anger. It is the idea of an “if this, then that” world. An | idea of a world in which the beliefs set forth within this Course are |
D:Day3.13 | This is the basic fallacy that the time of learning supported. The | idea of “if this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The idea |
D:Day3.13 | time of learning supported. The idea of “if this, then that.” The | idea of abundance earned. The idea of nothing being truly free. Not |
D:Day3.13 | The idea of “if this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The | idea of nothing being truly free. Not you, and not your gifts. |
D:Day3.14 | This is one of those situations in which you know and have no | idea what to do with what you know. Being unable to replace, in |
D:Day3.15 | when you have feelings such as these? How can you accept the | idea of inheritance with ideas such as these? How do you accept me |
D:Day3.17 | Let's go back to the | idea of money when it is seen as a “given.” It is seen as a “given” |
D:Day3.40 | and can be returned to later. The point here is your “concept” or | idea about what you have gained from unity thus far being that which |
D:Day3.41 | The | idea I am trying to open to you here is the idea of a responsive |
D:Day3.41 | The idea I am trying to open to you here is the | idea of a responsive relationship with unity that does not exist only |
D:Day3.49 | money, or taking actions, right-actions now, as opposed to your | idea of the wrong-actions of the past, in order to bring money or |
D:Day3.54 | ideas and great talent is of consequence, and this is true. A great | idea or great talent that is not brought into form, that is not |
D:Day3.54 | is no greater than a seed not planted. But the gift of the great | idea, the great talent, must first be seen and recognized, |
D:Day3.54 | would accept and receive it, express and share it. “If I had a great | idea,” I would accept and receive it, express it and share it. And |
D:Day4.19 | claiming of disciples. The term disciple can be linked here with the | idea of succession. What I asked of my disciples is not more than I |
D:Day4.35 | your own access to heaven. You might think that if you stretch your | idea of reality just a little bit farther, stretch your mind just a |
D:Day4.38 | love of the natural world, of the world of form that is, love of the | idea of the new world that can be, all of these must come together |
D:Day5.3 | physical concept of the mind but, since you are not your body, the | idea of what originates “within” coming from a point beyond the body |
D:Day6.7 | At one time the creation of a piece of music is only an | idea in the mind and heart of the creator. The creation of a song or |
D:Day6.7 | piece originally intended, or it might be quite true to the original | idea. |
D:Day6.9 | piece of music exists in relationship to its creator. Be it only an | idea, a partially completed rhythm, lyrics without notes, or a |
D:Day6.9 | when it is a complete, and full, and true expression of the artist's | idea, however, will it and the artist be one. |
D:Day7.1 | What does the | idea of only now coming to acceptance imply but that you were |
D:Day7.5 | can be degenerating to you. While you always were supported, the | idea of learning that you accepted during the time of learning was |
D:Day8.1 | course of this dialogue may have been, at least subconsciously, the | idea of removing yourself from normal life. Even the conditions of |
D:Day8.26 | The very | idea of potential, you may recall, is a product of the ego thought |
D:Day9.9 | Let's begin this day with a consideration of the | idea that you may have an inaccurate idea of an ideal self. |
D:Day9.9 | day with a consideration of the idea that you may have an inaccurate | idea of an ideal self. |
D:Day9.16 | The | idea of your “potential” was a useful learning tool and one that |
D:Day9.16 | the purposes of the Holy Spirit as well as those of the ego. The | idea of your “potential” and your ability to be “more” than what your |
D:Day10.15 | you need to feel in the self of form. Reflect further on your | idea of certainty coming from a place “other than” the self. Realize |
D:Day10.27 | peaceful and free of the constraints of the body. This is as good an | idea as I can give you of how to imagine the elevated Self of form, |
D:Day10.28 | Let's continue with this | idea a while longer as you consider a particular person you fondly |
D:Day18.6 | of all that is temporary. This is why we have spent time on the | idea of sickness and other unwanted states as temporary |
D:Day20.10 | Apply the art of thought to this | idea and you will complete the first transition. |
D:Day22.2 | Let's look at the | idea of channeling as simply an idea of expressing, but an idea of |
D:Day22.2 | Let's look at the idea of channeling as simply an | idea of expressing, but an idea of expression that is given and |
D:Day22.2 | at the idea of channeling as simply an idea of expressing, but an | idea of expression that is given and received, received and given. |
D:Day22.2 | and the dead or the world of spirit and the world of humanity. This | idea separated the living and the dead, the spiritual and the human |
D:Day22.2 | important to discuss this in as many ways as possible to make this | idea clear to you. You are life, and you are also surrounded by |
D:Day22.5 | There is also, however, the | idea of a channel as a passage to take into consideration. This we |
D:Day26.2 | If you had known, you would not have sought guidance. Thus your | idea of guidance is likely to hinge upon this concept of the unknown. |
D:Day26.3 | as the source of coming to know of the unknown. While simple, this | idea can be expanded upon. |
D:Day32.8 | Another | idea of God within the concept of a Creator God is of God existing in |
D:Day32.8 | spirit, a force, a unifying factor. God is closer, within this | idea, to being a participatory being, but still falls short. Man |
D:Day32.12 | can this be? This can be only because in your contemplation of this | idea, you lose your sense of self. There is a rebellion, a negation |
D:Day32.16 | to within this work as relationship itself. Let us consider this | idea newly by considering God's relationship to Jesus. |
D:Day33.1 | As we begin to speak of power, we must return to the initial | idea put forth in “A Treatise on the New”: That all are chosen. To |
D:Day33.1 | forth in “A Treatise on the New”: That all are chosen. To embrace an | idea of some having power while others remain powerless is to embrace |

D:Day37.1 | What we have just done is replaced an old | idea of God with a new idea of God. |
D:Day37.1 | What we have just done is replaced an old idea of God with a new | idea of God. |

D:Day37.9 | One of the reasons you have been as intent as you have been on your | idea of a separate and particular God is that you want to believe |
D:Day37.22 | if it leads to thoughts of God as a particular being. Yet the | idea of God as Father, introduced and championed by Jesus Christ, was |

Tx:5.44 | You must have noticed how often I have used your own | ideas to help you. You have learned to be a loving, wise, and very |
Tx:5.49 | can make you really free. You have carried the burden of the | ideas you did not share and which were therefore too weak to |
Tx:5.53 | by example. Teaching is therapy, because it means the sharing of | ideas and the awareness that to share them is to strengthen them. |
Tx:5.56 | Ideas do not leave the mind which thought them to have a separate | |
Tx:5.56 | in space, because they do not occupy space at all. However, human | ideas can conflict in content, because they occur at different |
Tx:5.57 | full power of creation cannot be expressed as long as any of God's | ideas withhold it from the Kingdom. The joint will of all the |
Tx:5.67 | not think like God you are not really thinking at all. Delusional | ideas are not real thoughts, although you can believe in them. But |
Tx:5.76 | is mine, sayeth the Lord” is easily explained if you remember that | ideas increase only by being shared. This quotation therefore |
Tx:8.6 | is planned by two teachers, each believing in diametrically opposed | ideas, it cannot be integrated. If it is carried out by these two |
Tx:9.10 | not be corrected. The plan is not yours, because of your limited | ideas of what you are. This limitation is where all errors arise. |
Tx:9.13 | They are as sensible now as they ever were, because they speak of | ideas which are eternal. Forgiveness that is learned of me does not |
Tx:10.72 | do you will not know that it is yours already. You have made many | ideas which you have placed between yourselves and your Creator, and |
Tx:10.80 | what it specifically advocates. This is not a course in the play of | ideas, but in their practical application. Nothing could be more |
Tx:12.24 | threat you think you could experience. For hell and oblivion are | ideas which you made up, and you are bent on demonstrating their |
Tx:13.21 | Insane | ideas have no real relationships, for that is why they are |
Tx:14.18 | Would you continue to give imagined power to these strange | ideas of safety? They are neither safe nor unsafe. They do not |
Tx:15.63 | us that peace will come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in | ideas minds can communicate. If you would give yourself as your |
Tx:15.64 | place in you, and you will experience the full communication of | ideas with ideas. Through your ability to do this, you will learn |
Tx:15.64 | in you, and you will experience the full communication of ideas with | ideas. Through your ability to do this, you will learn what you |
Tx:15.72 | To the ego, the mind is private, and only the body can be shared. | Ideas are basically of no concern, except as they draw the body of |
Tx:15.72 | closer or farther. And it is in these terms that it evaluates | ideas as good or bad. What makes another guilty and holds him |
Tx:16.20 | This is the year for the application of the | ideas which have been given you. For the ideas are mighty forces to |
Tx:16.20 | the application of the ideas which have been given you. For the | ideas are mighty forces to be used and not held idly by. They have |
Tx:19.84 | ego's secrets, all its strange devices for deception, all its sick | ideas and weird imaginings. Here is the final end of union, the |
Tx:24.66 | keeps what He created safe. You cannot touch it with the false | ideas you made because it was created not by you. Let not your |
Tx:25.10 | all learning to transfer illusions to the truth, taking all false | ideas of what you are and leading you beyond them to the truth that |
Tx:26.49 | a part of it. For it is real and dwells where all reality must be. | Ideas leave not their source, and their effects but seem to be apart |
Tx:26.49 | not their source, and their effects but seem to be apart from them. | Ideas are of the mind. What is projected out and seems to be external |
Tx:26.59 | the mind where the belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that | ideas can leave their source made real and meaningful. And from |
Tx:26.60 | He created you as part of Him, and this must still be true because | ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's law—that each idea |
Tx:26.60 | 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 true, |
Tx:27.29 | opposition would weaken it, and weakened power is a contradiction in | ideas. Weak strength is meaningless, and power used to weaken is |
Tx:27.30 | are gone. And now he stands for nothing. Symbols which but represent | ideas that cannot be must stand for empty space and nothingness. Yet |
Tx:27.81 | conceived this world as real. He would have seen at once that these | ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed |
Tx:28.7 | They will surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new | ideas they bring will be the happy consequences of a cause so ancient |
Tx:30.1 | and out of pain and fear. They are not new to you, but they are more | ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we need to practice |
Tx:30.39 | because what shares in all creation cannot be content with small | ideas and little things. |
Tx:30.49 | They were made that this might be forgotten. You attack but false | ideas and never truthful ones. All idols are the false ideas you made |
Tx:30.49 | but false ideas and never truthful ones. All idols are the false | ideas you made to fill the gap you think arose between yourself and |
Tx:30.86 | everything as it belongs to you. In single purpose is the end of all | ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a different purpose for the one |
Tx:31.12 | things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own | ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every image held |
Tx:31.24 | An instant spent without your old | ideas of who your great companion is and what he should be asking |
Tx:31.49 | growing in its ways, and finally “maturing” in its thought. They are | ideas of idols painted with the brushes of the world, which cannot |

W1:I.5 | Some of the | ideas you will find hard to believe, and others will seem quite |
W1:I.5 | efficacy. But allow yourself to make no exceptions in applying the | ideas the exercises contain. Whatever your reactions to the ideas may |
W1:I.5 | the ideas the exercises contain. Whatever your reactions to the | ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than this is required. |
W1:7.8 | Old | ideas about time are very difficult to change because everything you |
W1:7.8 | believe is rooted in time and depends on your not learning these new | ideas about it. Yet that is precisely why you need new ideas about |
W1:7.8 | these new ideas about it. Yet that is precisely why you need new | ideas about time. This first time idea is not really so strange as it |
W1:8.3 | been merely blank, rather than believing that it is filled with real | ideas, is the first step to opening the way to vision. |
W1:9.1 | that you do not understand is a prerequisite for undoing your false | ideas. These exercises are concerned with practice, not with |
W1:19.1 | seeing does not affect you alone. You will notice that at times the | ideas related to thinking precede those related to perceiving, while |
W1:28.3 | you are making a commitment to withdraw your preconceived | ideas about the table and open your mind to what it is and what it is |
W1:28.5 | gain vision from just that table if you could withdraw all your own | ideas from it and look upon it with a completely open mind. It has |
W1:28.5 | of infinite value, full of happiness and hope. Hidden under all your | ideas about it is its real purpose, the purpose it shares with all |
W1:39.1 | its opposite? Like the text for which this workbook was written, the | ideas which are used for the exercises are very simple, very clear, |
W1:45.9 | Under all the senseless thoughts and mad | ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the thoughts |
W1:46.8 | Then devote the remainder of the practice period to adding related | ideas such as: |
W1:R1.1 | have a series of review periods. Each of them will cover five of the | ideas already presented, starting with the first and ending with the |
W1:R1.1 | the fiftieth. There will be a few short comments after each of the | ideas, which you should consider in your review. In the practice |
W1:R1.2 | Begin the day by reading the five | ideas, with the comments included. Thereafter, it is not necessary to |
W1:R1.2 | Do this as often as possible during the day. If any one of the five | ideas appeals to you more than the others, concentrate on that one. |
W1:R1.6 | You will note that for review purposes the | ideas are not always given in quite their original form of statement. |
W1:R1.6 | not necessary to return to the original statements nor to apply the | ideas as was suggested then. We are now emphasizing the relationships |
W1:R1.6 | are now emphasizing the relationships among the first fifty of the | ideas we have covered and the cohesiveness of the thought system to |
W1:51.1 | The review for today covers the following | ideas: |

W1:59.1 | The following | ideas are for review today: |
W1:60.1 | These | ideas are for today's review: |
W1:65.11 | to which you really want salvation in spite of your own foolish | ideas to the contrary. |
W1:75.7 | upon the past today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past | ideas and clean of every concept you have made. You have forgiven the |
W1:R2.1 | review. We will begin where our last review left off and cover two | ideas each day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to one |
W1:R2.1 | day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to one of these | ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We will have one |
W1:81.1 | Our | ideas for review today are: |
W1:82.1 | We will review these | ideas today: |
W1:83.1 | Today let us review these | ideas: |
W1:84.1 | These are the | ideas for today's review: |
W1:85.1 | Today's review will cover these | ideas: |
W1:86.1 | These | ideas are for review today: |
W1:87.1 | Our review today will cover these | ideas: |
W1:88.1 | Today we will review these | ideas: |
W1:89.1 | These are our review | ideas for today: |
W1:90.1 | For this review we will use these | ideas: |
W1:95.14 | the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false | ideas: |
W1:97.4 | stands 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, |
W1:98.13 | and lay down all earthly tasks, all little thoughts and limited | ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him. Tell Him once more that |
W1:107.4 | pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead | ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, |
W1:R3.1 | Our third review begins today. We will review two of the last 20 | ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We will observe a |
W1:R3.5 | prefer, to considering the thoughts that are assigned. Read over the | ideas and comments which are written first in each day's exercise. |
W1:R3.6 | Place the | ideas within your mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it |
W1:R3.10 | between your longer practice periods. Attempt to give your daily two | ideas a brief but serious review each hour. Use one on the hour and |
W1:R3.13 | hour as well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these | ideas will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews |
W1:131.10 | foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true | ideas instead. |
W1:131.11 | world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true | ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning, no |
W1:132.2 | for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all | ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think. |
W1:132.6 | Ideas leave not their source. This central theme is often stated in | |
W1:132.11 | change your mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your | ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the |
W1:132.11 | mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because | ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your |
W1:132.20 | Throughout the day, increase the freedom sent through your | ideas to all the world, and say whenever you are tempted to deny the |
W1:133.1 | we will do today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing | ideas but dwell instead on benefits to you. |
W1:133.2 | you the little that you have. It does not try to substitute utopian | ideas for satisfactions which the world contains. |
W1:134.17 | that you are using his “offenses” but to save the world from all | ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you thought of |
W1:135.17 | a future quite unlike the past without a continuity of any old | ideas and sick beliefs. Anticipation plays no part at all, for |
W1:137.1 | salvation rests. For healing is the opposite of all the world's | ideas which dwell on sickness and on separate states. Sickness is a |
W1:137.5 | at all, healing but offers restitution for imagined states and false | ideas which dreams embroider into pictures of the truth. |
W1:138.8 | with terror and anxiety so strong that it will not relinquish its | ideas about its own protection. It must be saved from salvation, |
W1:R4.10 | After your preparation, merely read each of the two | ideas assigned to you to be reviewed that day. Then close your eyes |
W1:R4.11 | the day began and spend a quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two | ideas you practice for the day unhurriedly, with time enough to see |
W1:R4.12 | thus the keeping of His Word. And as you give your mind to the | ideas for the day again before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you |
W1:151.13 | remove the elements of dreams, and give them back to you as clean | ideas that do not contradict the Will of God. |
W1:156.1 | surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text— | ideas leave not their source. If this be true, how can you be apart |
W1:167.3 | it. But its origin is where it must be changed if change occurs. | Ideas leave not their source. The emphasis this course has placed on |
W1:167.4 | you did not make, and you can never change. It is the fixed belief | ideas can leave their source and take on qualities the source does |
W1:167.5 | Death cannot come from life. | Ideas remain united to their source. They can extend all that their |
W1:170.5 | perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is obvious | ideas must leave their source. For it is you who make attack and must |
W1:182.8 | still an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless | ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear |
W1:187.2 | that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you give | ideas away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the form in |
W1:187.3 | Ideas must first belong to you before you give them. If you are to | |
W1:189.7 | false or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy and all the | ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with |
W1:190.4 | Peace to such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at such insane | ideas. There is no need to think of them as savage crimes or secret |
W1:R6.1 | day, use the idea as often as you can between them. Each of these | ideas alone would be sufficient for salvation, if it were learned |
W2:281.1 | ill, I have forgotten what You think and put my little, meaningless | ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong and where They are. I |

M:4.18 | is perhaps more alien to the thinking of the world than many other | ideas in our curriculum. Its greater strangeness lies merely in the |
M:26.2 | those to whom such appearances would be frightening, they give their | ideas. No one can call on them in vain. Nor is there anyone of whom |
A Course of Love (228) | ||
C:P.10 | live the good life without claiming glory, without having any grand | ideas about yourselves. It is possible to do much good without |
C:4.14 | Your | ideas of being in love are quite another category all together. In |
C:4.17 | produce results, the dinner you prepared be eaten with delight, your | ideas greeted as inspired. But this you do not expect. You often, in |
C:5.8 | wall, the collections that fill your shelves, whether they are of | ideas or money or things to look at, are your desperate attempts to |
C:7.1 | idea for what it might bring you, and is resentful of those whose | ideas do come to fruition and succeed in getting desirable things |
C:7.16 | do not freely give, you do not have the use of for yourself. Those | ideas that you save up, that creativity that only you would benefit |
C:7.17 | now to relationship and correct as quickly as possible any erroneous | ideas you have, especially those that might make of this a trivial |
C:9.33 | 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 is so falsely |
C:9.50 | body, for your own seeming use by such as this leads to all other | ideas of use. |
C:10.3 | to point out the differences in the two thought systems so that your | ideas can begin to change, until finally your heart takes over and |
C:11.4 | trying hard have long been past. Each exercise is but an idea, and | ideas leave not their source. All ideas here are but ideas of union |
C:11.4 | Each exercise is but an idea, and ideas leave not their source. All | ideas here are but ideas of union come to replace ideas of |
C:11.4 | an idea, and ideas leave not their source. All ideas here are but | ideas of union come to replace ideas of separation. This will happen |
C:11.4 | their source. All ideas here are but ideas of union come to replace | ideas of separation. This will happen of its own without your |
C:11.4 | own without your understanding as long as you remain willing for the | ideas to dwell within you, and you do not try to shut them out. |
C:11.4 | within you, and you do not try to shut them out. Realize that the | ideas of both success and failure are detrimental here. To feel you |
C:11.4 | can happen. And your perception that either can will shut out all | ideas of union. |
C:12.7 | do so. Your desire for certainty is part of your resistance to any | ideas that seem to be about change. What little that you think you |
C:12.16 | and Holy Spirit, like the word love, are but symbols representing | ideas that represent what is. That you have made of the Father a |
C:12.17 | results of the idea would not come to be. You may have a thousand | ideas one day and ten thousand the next, so many that you could never |
C:12.21 | to exist, so too, did this idea of separation. But just as your | ideas do not take on a life of their own even though they at times |
C:14.10 | Your | ideas of love, however, fit your goal of separation as neatly and |
C:15.5 | From this sphere of influence comes your notions of success, your | ideas of what is necessary to be good, your notions of what it means |
C:18.13 | this idea in your own way, from the desire to know from which all | ideas are born, in order to give it life. |
C:19.1 | made of the body. Only from thinking of the body as yourself did | ideas of glorifying the body arise. To glorify a learning device |
C:19.4 | heaven must be where you are. A wholehearted choice to abandon all | ideas of glorifying the separated self and to let the world be what |
C:19.16 | To think without thought or know without words are | ideas quite foreign to you, and truly, while you remain here, even |
C:20.45 | To serve is different from your | ideas of service, however. Your ideas of service are bound to your |
C:20.45 | To serve is different from your ideas of service, however. Your | ideas of service are bound to your ideas of charity. Your idea of |
C:20.45 | ideas of service, however. Your ideas of service are bound to your | ideas of charity. Your idea of charity is based on some having more |
C:29.11 | bad, this attitude of life as toil is part of your rebellion against | ideas of service. You have no time for more than you do now, and you |
C:29.16 | the existence of special relationships. The idea of use created all | ideas of toil as the only means of having needs met. The idea of use |
C:29.16 | notions of distrust, starting with—as we have stated before—your | ideas of using the very body you call your home rather than allowing |
C:30.11 | “good” you will prosper. You do not see these ways of thinking as | ideas associated with gain and loss, but they are. All thinking that |
C:31.25 | using it 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 |
C:31.25 | of being able to keep truth a secret, one of the most ridiculous | ideas of the ego thought system. |
C:31.37 | that of parent to child. These two relationships have comprised your | ideas of our Father and me as you have realized that you are here to |
T1:3.20 | not to mess with such things. Even the thought of it leads you to | ideas of magic and power that is not of this world and thus that must |
T1:3.23 | where one miracle worked another might be possible would be to have | ideas of grandeur not meant for you. Here your thoughts might stray |
T1:4.8 | thought system and from this central position developed all of its | ideas of glorifying the separated self as well as of subjugating the |
T1:6.5 | god seen as separate is to attempt to use what cannot be used. Such | ideas of prayer have had credence because this reaching out does at |
T1:6.5 | at least recognize that there is something to reach out to. Such | ideas of prayer have long been opening doors for those who are ready |
T1:9.13 | Lest you fight these | ideas as stereotypical, I will give just a few brief examples. These |
T1:9.13 | hurt or your pride? Your feelings called into question or your | ideas? And what guise did the ego take as it rallied to your aide? |
T2:1.5 | place without further instruction, you would soon return to your old | ideas of heaven and see peace as a state of being for those too weary |
T2:2.9 | for doing other than what they feel called to do. All of these | ideas illustrate your belief that something other than your own |
T2:3.6 | of the Christ is still based on an old way of thinking, as are your | ideas of learning. |
T2:9.3 | of letting go of special relationships among the most difficult of | ideas contained in this course of study, the ability to let go must |
T2:11.8 | continue to be with you, in the way that all learned behaviors and | ideas are with you, until it is totally replaced by new learning. |
T2:11.15 | It is from these two separate | ideas of relationship that the concept of doing battle has emerged. |
T3:4.3 | Before we can go on you must take all such | ideas from your mind. Such ideas are not small matters. Ideas are the |
T3:4.3 | Before we can go on you must take all such ideas from your mind. Such | ideas are not small matters. Ideas are the foundation of the self. |
T3:4.3 | all such ideas from your mind. Such ideas are not small matters. | Ideas are the foundation of the self. You cannot have an idea of |
T3:4.4 | The ego made such | ideas necessary for the idea of the ego was “wrong” or inaccurate. |
T3:6.2 | of God and the meaning of life and death. But this is one of the key | ideas that will keep you from yourself and has much to do with your |
T3:6.3 | for you to live within your world. The idea of reward transfers to | ideas related to comparison as well, as lack of reward in one |
T3:7.1 | talking of beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,” to speaking here of | ideas. God's thought of you is an idea of absolute truth. Your |
T3:7.2 | represent the truth of who you are and who God is, we speak now of | ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God created you with a thought |
T3:7.3 | truth here. You cannot do this with beliefs but you can do this with | ideas. Ideas leave not their source, and thus your inaccurate ideas |
T3:7.3 | You cannot do this with beliefs but you can do this with ideas. | Ideas leave not their source, and thus your inaccurate ideas about |
T3:7.3 | with ideas. Ideas leave not their source, and thus your inaccurate | ideas about yourself have their cause within you, as does your |
T3:8.11 | was a means of finding simple pleasures in a harsh world, why not | ideas of entertainment that would seem to provide them? People |
T3:9.1 | be done and can be done by you in the here and now. To accept these | ideas without accepting their ability to be applied is to change your |
T3:9.1 | to be applied is to change your beliefs without changing your | ideas. This many have done. This you surely do not want to do. |
T3:9.2 | While you cannot now see the chain of events that will make these | ideas into a new reality, you can trust that they will be there, |
T3:9.2 | that they will be there, spreading out like a web, much as the ego's | ideas of separation once did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned |
T3:9.2 | a web, much as the ego's ideas of separation once did. Yet, as these | ideas are not learned ideas, they will not take time, as did the |
T3:9.2 | ideas of separation once did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned | ideas, they will not take time, as did the ego's ideas, to spread |
T3:9.2 | are not learned ideas, they will not take time, as did the ego's | ideas, to spread through learning. |
T3:9.3 | Ideas of love, or the truth, are joined in unity and exist in | |
T3:9.3 | the truth, are joined in unity and exist in relationship. All of the | ideas within the house of illusion were contained within it and held |
T3:9.3 | illusion were contained within it and held together by the learned | ideas of the ego thought system. Now you must imagine yourself |
T3:9.7 | it did not pass beyond the arena of beliefs into the arena of | ideas. The Israelites believed in a Promised Land but they did not |
T3:11.16 | the old thought system is thoroughly translated to the new, such | ideas as right and wrong will be no more. It is only for this |
T3:13.4 | new according to what you believe to be the truth and translate into | ideas. |
T3:13.11 | they are but aides to help you in the development of your own | ideas. If you remember that all of your ideas are to be based on |
T3:13.11 | the development of your own ideas. If you remember that all of your | ideas are to be based on love, you will not fail to birth ideas of |
T3:13.11 | of your ideas are to be based on love, you will not fail to birth | ideas of consequence. |
T3:13.12 | The second aspect of this lesson will then be regarding your | ideas about the consequences that seem to result from whatever action |
T3:13.12 | about the consequences that seem to result from whatever action your | ideas have suggested. You must birth the idea of having no reason to |
T3:13.13 | Notice that the simple examples I gave were examples of action. | Ideas can certainly be birthed without the need for action, but one |
T3:13.13 | not originate with yourself. But it is not until you have your own | ideas about those beliefs that you own those beliefs in terms of |
T3:13.13 | of making them your beliefs. To believe without forming your own | ideas about your beliefs is to be in danger of succumbing to false |
T3:13.14 | To form your own | ideas is to be creative. Forming your own ideas happens in |
T3:13.14 | To form your own ideas is to be creative. Forming your own | ideas happens in relationship. Taking action on your ideas forms a |
T3:13.14 | your own ideas happens in relationship. Taking action on your | ideas forms a relationship between your physical form and your Self |
T3:13.14 | represents, in form, the thought or image produced within the Self. | Ideas, in the context in which we are speaking of them here, are |
T3:14.1 | fearfully may still remain and as such be a deterrent to new | ideas and to action. As long as these patterns of fear remain as |
T3:14.2 | and abundance. What this means is that you will slowly translate all | ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all ideas of blame into |
T3:14.2 | means is that you will slowly translate all ideas of scarcity into | ideas of abundance, all ideas of blame into ideas of benevolence. |
T3:14.2 | slowly translate all ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all | ideas of blame into ideas of benevolence. Thus you might, after this |

T3:15.11 | I have said here that love, peace, and truth are interchangeable | ideas within the new thought system. Thus, truth, like love, is not |
T3:15.14 | These examples of your former | ideas about new beginnings have simply been used to demonstrate why |
T3:15.16 | for still more forgetting as you must consciously let go of all your | ideas of the limitations inherent in your concept of what it means to |
T3:16.10 | old patterns of dissatisfaction with the self. It has to do with any | ideas you may still hold concerning others having more than you have, |
T3:16.12 | thought system of the truth. This fear relates very strongly to your | ideas of change and as such is the greatest detriment to your new |
T3:18.2 | Let us return to the concept of observation and link it with | ideas as we have spoken of them here. Observation, the ability to |

T4:1.6 | and when the concept of being chosen is one laden with so many false | ideas about exclusivity? I am using this word specifically because of |
T4:2.8 | point because you literally cannot proceed to full awareness while | ideas such as more and better remain in you. As I have said before, |
T4:2.10 | seeks to accomplish and so it is necessary to belabor these false | ideas that would keep you from this awareness. If you think you can |
T4:2.13 | Thus, you must examine your intention even now and remove from it all | ideas that were of the old way. You would not be here if you were |
T4:2.14 | This is one of the many reasons we have worked to dispel your | ideas of specialness. One of the best means for us to clarify the |

T4:8.2 | now that you can come to know this truth without reverting to old | ideas of not having had “yourself” any choice in the matter, or |
T4:8.2 | having had “yourself” any choice in the matter, or reverting to old | ideas of blaming God for all that has ensued since this choice. I say |

D:2.13 | control have become particularly entrenched. Thus have you learned | ideas such as “when all else fails, plain old hard work will see you |

D:3.8 | to carry forward with you into the new. This is the first of many | ideas that were previously taught that I would like to talk of in a |
D:3.8 | taught that I would like to talk of in a new way. These are | ideas that address your true nature as a being existing in union, and |
D:3.8 | nature as a being existing in union, and this is why we call them | ideas to carry forward. These are new ideas to you because you have |
D:3.8 | and this is why we call them ideas to carry forward. These are new | ideas to you because you have recently learned them and through the |

D:3.8 | Self of form. These are really not new ideas, however, but rather | ideas of who you truly are birthed within the self of form so that |
D:3.8 | so that the Self and the elevated Self of form are able to work with | ideas birthed from the same source. |
D:3.9 | Ideas of who you truly are, birthed by the wholehearted self in union | |
D:3.9 | are, birthed by the wholehearted self in union with all, are the | ideas that will allow new patterns to emerge and the design of the |
D:3.9 | to emerge and the design of the future to be created. These are the | ideas that replace the learned concepts we leave behind. |
D:3.10 | You will notice that all of these | ideas have in common a quality of oneness. Oneness replaces duality |
D:3.11 | the idea of one who gives and one who receives. If all are one, such | ideas make no sense. This would seem to make the idea of giving and |

D:6.2 | may now work as a detriment to your acceptance as you cling to | ideas concerning false representation rather than let them go in |

D:6.2 | But as we enter this new time of elevated form, these same ideas— | ideas that many of you attached to form rather than to your |
D:6.5 | body—your form—must be seen in a new way. It is thus with new | ideas about the body that we will begin the final thought reversal |
D:6.11 | This same kind of attitude still governs your | ideas about the body and the systems of the world in which you exist. |
D:6.14 | the suspension of belief. If you continue into the new with your old | ideas about your body, the old body will be what you carry into the |
D:6.21 | blaming the past for the present. And yet, what ridding your mind of | ideas of placing blame does, is take it one step away from the |
D:6.25 | representative of a learning being. The ego, however, narrowed your | ideas of what the body was here to learn to ideas of survival. You |
D:6.25 | however, narrowed your ideas of what the body was here to learn to | ideas of survival. You thus learned to survive rather than to live. |
D:7.25 | These scenarios of fear we leave behind as we abandon | ideas of evolution in time and proceed to an awareness of how the |
D:8.3 | All of these | ideas we leave behind as we concentrate instead on the very simple |
D:9.5 | it was said within this Course that you are an idea of God, and when | ideas were spoken of as if they were synonymous with thought, this |
D:9.11 | your conscious awareness. We do this by discussing now the nature of | ideas as opposed to the nature of thoughts. |
D:9.12 | you discovered existed within you prior to the time of learning, | ideas are also discoveries that you make, discoveries that exist |
D:9.12 | that you make, discoveries that exist apart from learning. | Ideas “come to you.” They are given and received. They are surprising |
D:9.14 | of your natural talent or ability and your discovery of new | ideas are discoveries of something that already existed beyond the |

D:Day2.8 | Part of this feeling arises from erroneous | ideas that remain regarding your unworthiness. Part of this feeling |
D:Day3.4 | angry with the beginning of this Course and its challenge to your | ideas regarding love. Most of you approached learning through the |

D:Day3.12 | than others that they can use the givens of talent and inspired | ideas to bring them wealth. This is the idea of bartering, which we |
D:Day3.12 | 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 the time of |
D:Day3.14 | of how things might be different. As far as you have come, these | ideas are still with most of you to one degree or another. Even |
D:Day3.14 | you to one degree or another. Even though you know these are false | ideas, and in that knowing may even say to yourself as you read them |
D:Day3.14 | you know this too. They are what prevent you from believing that the | ideas set forth in this Course, when practiced, are capable of making |
D:Day3.15 | such as these? How can you accept the idea of inheritance with | ideas such as these? How do you accept me when you see me as |
D:Day3.22 | may have left behind aspirations of wealth, and replaced them with | ideas of having more time, more fulfilling work, simpler pleasures, |

D:Day3.48 | anger is to lead you to the step beyond it, the step of action and | ideas, the step often called that of bargaining. |
D:Day3.49 | this step without realizing that you are still acting in accord with | ideas of it being an “if this, then that” world. You try to guess |
D:Day3.50 | too, is not without value. You may have many good and even inspired | ideas within this time. You may feel as if you are on the right |
D:Day3.50 | begin to see the benefits that have been promised. But many of your | ideas and actions at this stage will be tinged with the anger that |
D:Day3.53 | Just as you were told you cannot “think” great | ideas into being, or great talent into fruition, just as you were |
D:Day3.53 | Abundance can only be accepted and received, just as great | ideas and great talent can only be accepted and received. |
D:Day3.54 | You might argue now that what you do with great | ideas and great talent is of consequence, and this is true. A great |
D:Day4.7 | long before the onset of the time of language that constitutes your | ideas about what it means to think. In evolutionary terms this was |

D:Day8.1 | the time of acceptance may not have cheered you fully. Now, with the | ideas of the conditions of the time of acceptance fresh in your minds |
D:Day8.9 | that to accept what is, is to accept that people gossip. These false | ideas about acceptance may then have blocked your own true feelings |

D:Day10.13 | still hold an image of your personal self, you still hold inaccurate | ideas about the feelings of the personal self. This is because your |
D:Day10.27 | I asked you once before to review your | ideas about the afterlife, a life in which most of you believe |
D:Day10.29 | to take unpopular stands against popular leaders? Do not even your | ideas of saints and angels include concepts of their feeling |
D:Day15.27 | with those coming to know along with you, you do not create false | ideas concerning what this is about. |
D:Day19.11 | that matters. Eventually all will follow the way of Mary and such | ideas as acclaim and obscurity will be no more. But at this time of |

D:Day32.5 | might think of God as you think of yourself. When thinking of the | ideas put forth here, you might think of God deciding to know |
D:Day35.7 | an idea of accomplishment and union here and now come to replace all | ideas of life after death. |
D:Day35.8 | These are | ideas that take the way in which you once related to life and shift |
D:Day35.9 | Ideas are neither learned nor accomplished. They simply are. They | |
D:Day35.10 | Giving | ideas life is the role of creatorship. |
D:Day36.11 | your being and God in relationship. This is the example that the | ideas of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a trinity representing one |
D:Day37.23 | the Father is an idea that was created and thus exists much as other | ideas of God were created and thus exist. But this creation, like the |
D:Day37.26 | man sees difference in a way that makes no sense. Like the faulty | ideas of creation that shaped your “creation” of your separate world |
D:Day38.9 | union. Possession and ownership are words that have become faulty | ideas in separation. They mean an entirely different thing in union |

T3:8.2 | revelation toward which we work. Never forget that establishing your | identity has been the only aim of this entire course of study. |
T3:8.4 | self. Whether you believe the personal self is comprised of the one | identity you now hold or the identity of many past lives, the |
T3:8.4 | personal self is comprised of the one identity you now hold or the | identity of many past lives, the identity you hold in this time and |
T3:8.4 | one identity you now hold or the identity of many past lives, the | identity you hold in this time and this place still believes in its |

T3:21.10 | a crucial other than—your certainty of your own identity, the very | identity this Course has disproved. This identity has been seen as |
T3:21.10 | your own identity, the very identity this Course has disproved. This | identity has been seen as your personal self. Thus your personal self |
T3:21.11 | you have been capable, simply because you could not exist without an | identity. You might think of this as being certain of facts and |
T3:21.12 | you rarely count what you have acquired in form as part of your | identity. What you have acquired that is not of form, you have, |
T3:21.12 | certain. A degree earned or talent developed is seen as part of your | identity, as part of who you are. |
T3:21.13 | So too is it with beliefs. Many of you have a religious | identity as well as a professional identity. Many of you have |
T3:21.13 | Many of you have a religious identity as well as a professional | identity. Many of you have political or philosophical identities. You |
T3:21.17 | Now however, you are being called to accept your true | identity even while you retain the form of your personal self. As |

T3:21.19 | said that we can also use the certainty you have felt about your | identity for our new purpose, the purpose of the miracle that will |
T3:21.19 | you cease to identify yourself as you always have and use the only | identity you have been certain of for a new purpose? |
T3:21.20 | contradictory, for the answer lies in realizing that your former | identity does not matter, even while realizing that it will serve |
T3:21.20 | seeming answer. One is that your certainty regarding the | identity of your personal self will be useful as that certainty is |
T3:21.20 | system of the truth and aids you in becoming certain of your true | identity. The second is that the very differences that you seem to |

T4:8.14 | unchanging! How could this possibly be said of one whose name and | identity is synonymous with creation? You like to think that God |

D:1.8 | within the world, a faceless and nameless entity, a being without an | identity, humble and selfless and ineffective. For there must be |

D:1.10 | identity. A person could literally die during this time from lack of | identity, lack of cause. To die to the personal self is not what is |

Tx:9.78 | A sick god must be an | idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks he is. And that is |
Tx:9.78 | self-sufficient, very vicious, and very vulnerable. Is this the | idol you would worship? Is this the image you would be vigilant to |

Tx:9.78 | this idol, which you think will save you from the dangers which the | idol itself stands for, but which do not exist. |
Tx:16.55 | In the name of your completion, you do not want this. For every | idol which you raise to place before Him stands before you in place |
Tx:20.55 | The body is the ego's | idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This |
Tx:24.27 | its defender. You would protect what God created not. And yet this | idol that seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have |
Tx:24.27 | unforgiven and yourself in sin beside him, both in misery before the | idol that can save you not. |
Tx:29.43 | outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an | idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be |
Tx:29.43 | where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there. Each | idol that you worship when God calls will never answer in His place. |

Tx:29.45 | and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose every | idol has, for this the role that is assigned to it, and this the role |
Tx:29.47 | seek? No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message other than an | idol found that represents a parody of life which in its lifelessness |
Tx:29.48 | of peace. God dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No | idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside |
Tx:29.50 | fear of loss of your reality. But you have made of your reality an | idol which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the |
Tx:29.50 | light of truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this | idol can be saved. Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer |
Tx:29.51 | and only life exists. The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An | idol cannot take the place of God. Let Him remind you of His love |
Tx:29.52 | What is an | idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such and |
Tx:29.52 | you do not know what they are for and why they have been made. An | idol is an image of your brother which you would value more than what |

Tx:29.56 | An idol is established by belief, and when it is withdrawn, the | idol “dies.” |
Tx:29.58 | Where is an | idol? Nowhere! Can there be a gap in what is infinite, a place where |
Tx:29.58 | alcove separated off from what is endless, has no place to be. An | idol is beyond where God has set all things forever and has left no |
Tx:29.58 | for anything to be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere must an | idol be while God is everything and everywhere. |
Tx:29.59 | What purpose has an | idol, then? What is it for? This is the only question which has |
Tx:29.59 | or even more affliction and more pain. But more of something is an | idol for. And when one fails, another takes its place with hope of |
Tx:29.59 | something else. Be not deceived by forms the “something” takes. An | idol is a means for getting more. And it is this that is against |
Tx:29.60 | And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of Himself. No | idol can establish you as more than God. But you will never be |
Tx:29.63 | part of what they have been made to save you from. Thus does an | idol keep the dream alive and terrible, for who could wish for one |
Tx:29.63 | wish for one unless he were in terror and despair? And this the | idol represents, and so its worship is the worship of despair and |
Tx:29.69 | of help, 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 |
Tx:30.39 | take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the Son? What | idol can make two of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? |
Tx:30.39 | is one? And can the limitless be limited? You do not want an | idol. It is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on you the |
Tx:30.39 | the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will within the | idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could never be |
Tx:30.40 | Behind the search for every | idol lies the yearning for completion. Wholeness has no form because |
Tx:30.40 | achieve completion in a form you like. This is the purpose of an | idol—that you will not look beyond it to the source of the belief |
Tx:30.41 | and no separate thing the power to complete the Son of God. What | idol can be called upon to give the Son of God what he already has? |
Tx:30.42 | to what is not in him, he would not be as God created him. What | idol can he need to be himself? For can he give a part of him away? |
Tx:30.48 | two realities, but one. Nor can you be aware of more than one. An | idol or the Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, |
Tx:30.54 | one very simple thing—you do not want whatever you believe an | idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is free of |
Tx:30.63 | the real world. Perhaps they still look back and think they see an | idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely set away from |

Tx:7.51 | because that is to share nothing. [Would I try to share an | illusion with the most holy children of a most holy Father?] Yet I do |
Tx:7.86 | in order not to recognize this. You cannot perpetuate an | illusion about another without perpetuating it about yourself. |
Tx:8.26 | simply by dissociating itself from everything. It is therefore an | illusion of isolation, maintained by fear of the same loneliness |
Tx:8.26 | isolation, maintained by fear of the same loneliness which is its | illusion. I have told you that I am with you always, even to the end |
Tx:8.26 | of the world, the loneliness is gone. You cannot maintain the | illusion of loneliness if you are not alone. My purpose, then, is |
Tx:8.96 | your will. Of him you can never learn it, and this gives you the | illusion of safety. Yet you cannot be safe from truth but only in |

Tx:14.38 | you made to what you are. The bringing together of truth and | illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only function. Keep |
Tx:14.38 | were. Thus, truth was made past, and the present was dedicated to | illusion. And the past, too, was changed and interposed between what |
Tx:15.11 | birth into the holy present is salvation from change. Change is an | illusion, taught by those who could not see themselves as guiltless. |

Tx:16.32 | aspects of the relationship, but it is still held together by the | illusion of love. If the illusion goes, the relationship is broken or |
Tx:16.32 | but it is still held together by the illusion of love. If the | illusion goes, the relationship is broken or becomes unsatisfying on |
Tx:16.33 | Love is not an | illusion. It is a fact. Where disillusionment is possible, there was |

Tx:16.33 | fear of death is still upon them, the love relationship loses the | illusion that it is what it is not. For then the barricades against |

Tx:16.34 | but always at the price of making both illusions. As long as the | illusion of hatred lasts, so long will love be an illusion to you. |
Tx:16.34 | As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long will love be an | illusion to you. And then the only choice which remains possible is |
Tx:16.34 | to you. And then the only choice which remains possible is which | illusion you prefer. There is no conflict in the choice between |
Tx:16.34 | you prefer. There is no conflict in the choice between truth and | illusion. Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But conflict |
Tx:16.35 | what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false. Every | illusion is one of fear, whatever form it takes. And the attempt to |
Tx:16.35 | of fear, whatever form it takes. And the attempt to escape from one | illusion into another must fail. If you seek love outside yourself, |
Tx:16.35 | within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the | illusion of love, but only from its reality. |
Tx:16.36 | and truth must be recognized if it is to be distinguished from | illusion: The special love relationship is an attempt [to bring love |
Tx:16.36 | love relationship would accomplish the impossible. How but in | illusion could this be done? It is essential that we look very |
Tx:16.37 | but a shabby substitute for what makes you whole in truth, not in | illusion. Your relationship with them is without guilt, and this |
Tx:16.38 | His Son established forever. Seek not for this in the bleak world of | illusion, where nothing is certain, and where everything fails to |
Tx:16.39 | Him, where your completion rests wholly compatible with His. Every | illusion which you accept into your mind by judging it to be |
Tx:16.39 | beyond all fantasy and to be entirely unwilling to settle for | illusion in place of truth. |
Tx:16.40 | not answer you whose completion is His? He loves you wholly without | illusion, as you must love. For love is wholly without illusion and |
Tx:16.40 | without illusion, as you must love. For love is wholly without | illusion and therefore wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must |
Tx:16.45 | of love is known, love is the same as union. Here, where the | illusion of love is accepted in love's place, love is perceived as |
Tx:16.50 | he has asked for hell, and so he will not interfere with the ego's | illusion of Heaven, which it offered him to interfere with Heaven. |
Tx:16.50 | if all illusions are of fear, and they can be of nothing else, the | illusion of Heaven is nothing more than an “attractive” form of fear |
Tx:16.51 | with the ego's goals, is to destroy reality and substitute | illusion. For the ego is itself an illusion, and only illusions |
Tx:16.51 | destroy reality and substitute illusion. For the ego is itself an | illusion, and only illusions can be the witnesses to its “reality.” |
Tx:16.56 | making yourself unable to make the simple choice between truth and | illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and you will have no |
Tx:16.57 | to this course and follow it is but the choice between truth and | illusion. For here is truth separated from illusion and not |
Tx:16.57 | between truth and illusion. For here is truth separated from | illusion and not confused with it at all. |
Tx:16.64 | reference is built around the special relationship. Without this | illusion, there can be no meaning you would still seek here. |
Tx:16.67 | Now no one need suffer, for you have come too far to yield to the | illusion of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly insane |
Tx:16.67 | What guilt has wrought is ugly, fearful, and very dangerous. See no | illusion of truth and beauty there. And be you thankful that there |
Tx:16.71 | already gone. It must be, therefore, that you are maintaining the | illusion that it has not gone because you think it serves some |
Tx:16.74 | hatred and the savagery break briefly through into awareness, the | illusion of love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one thing which |
Tx:16.76 | difference in all respects between your experience of truth and | illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy instant, |
Tx:16.79 | Remember that you always choose between truth and | illusion—between the real Atonement which would heal and the |
Tx:17.1 | that this is so, for dreams are what they are because of their | illusion of reality. Only in waking is the full release from them, |
Tx:17.4 | As long as you would have it so, so long will the | illusion of order of difficulty in miracles remain with you. For you |
Tx:17.5 | means from the perspective of illusions? Truth has no meaning in | illusion. The frame of reference for its meaning must be itself. |
Tx:17.25 | It is still up to you to choose to be willing to join with truth or | illusion. But remember that to choose one is to let the other go. |
Tx:17.25 | of ugliness, the real world or the world of guilt and fear, truth or | illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For you can never |
Tx:17.63 | the goal of truth would bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the | illusion of experience, and the illusion of peace is not the |
Tx:17.63 | For fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of experience, and the | illusion of peace is not the condition in which the truth can enter. |
Tx:17.68 | upon it calmly, but do not use it. Faithlessness is the servant of | illusion and wholly faithful to its master. Use it and it will carry |
Tx:17.68 | the goal, but with the value of the goal to you. Accept not the | illusion of peace it offers, but look upon its offering and recognize |
Tx:17.68 | of peace it offers, but look upon its offering and recognize it is | illusion. |
Tx:17.69 | The goal of | illusion is as closely tied to faithlessness as faith to truth. If |
Tx:18.4 | It has taken many forms because it was the substitution of | illusion for truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. It has become so |
Tx:18.4 | one and still is what it was. That one error, which brought truth to | illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. |
Tx:18.17 | escape its origin. Anger and fear pervade it, and in an instant, the | illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of terror. For |
Tx:18.17 | and in an instant, the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the | illusion of terror. For the dream of your ability to control reality |
Tx:18.18 | for you, for if you did, the guilt would not be theirs, and the | illusion of satisfaction would be gone. In dreams these features are |
Tx:18.24 | You who have spent your lives in bringing truth to | illusion, reality to fantasy, have walked the way of dreams. For you |
Tx:18.26 | illusions in which you have surrounded it. When you retreat to the | illusion, your fear increases, for there is little doubt that what |
Tx:18.41 | was. If you already understood the difference between truth and | illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy instant, your |
Tx:18.56 | the place you set aside to house your hate is not a prison but an | illusion of yourself. The body is a limit imposed on the universal |
Tx:18.59 | as separate. What really happens is that you have given up the | illusion of a limited awareness and lost your fear of union. The love |
Tx:18.73 | how alone and frightened is this little thought, this infinitesimal | illusion, holding itself apart against the universe. The sun becomes |
Tx:18.89 | as you believe that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is the | illusion which seems to make it heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a |
Tx:18.90 | solid wall before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is wholly an | illusion. It gives way softly to the mountain tops which rise above |
Tx:19.3 | separation has occurred. The body thus becomes the instrument of | illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what |
Tx:19.5 | truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of | illusion; illusion the absence of truth. |
Tx:19.5 | dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of illusion; | illusion the absence of truth. |
Tx:19.7 | when they are seen together, all attempts to keep both truth and | illusion in the mind, where both must be, are recognized as |
Tx:19.8 | Truth and | illusion have no connection. This will remain forever true, however |
Tx:19.22 | in such a world could everything be upside-down. This is the strange | illusion which makes the clouds of guilt seem heavy and impenetrable. |
Tx:19.45 | the light in which illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an | illusion. Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the goal of |
Tx:19.47 | This feather of a wish, this tiny | illusion, this microscopic remnant of the belief in sin, is all that |
Tx:19.71 | painful. It will share the pain of all illusions, and the | illusion of pleasure will be the same as pain. |
Tx:19.72 | serving its master whose attraction to guilt maintains the whole | illusion of its existence. This, then, is the attraction of pain. |
Tx:20.11 | him, your vision has become the greatest power for the undoing of | illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy |
Tx:20.28 | seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. Being without | illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to |
Tx:20.52 | time was born and bodies made to house the mad idea and give it the | illusion of reality. And so it seemed to have a home that held |
Tx:20.62 | But the purpose here is sin. It cannot be attained but in | illusion, and so the illusion of a brother as a body is quite in |
Tx:20.62 | here is sin. It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so the | illusion of a brother as a body is quite in keeping with the purpose |
Tx:20.65 | to reality. Your holy brother, sight of whom is your release, is no | illusion. Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings |
Tx:21.84 | or happiness in changing form that shifts with time and place, is an | illusion which has no meaning. Happiness must be constant because |
Tx:22.11 | itself from an unholy relationship and yet more ancient than the old | illusion that it has replaced, is like a baby now in its rebirth. |
Tx:22.14 | the recognition that the “something else” you thought was you is an | illusion. And truth came instantly to show you where your Self must |
Tx:22.16 | one seems to be the way to lose the misery the other brings. Every | illusion carries pain and suffering in the dark folds of the heavy |
Tx:22.19 | exist is to confuse what is the same with what is different. One | illusion cherished and defended against the truth makes all truth |
Tx:22.23 | of Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. Nor is there one | illusion you can enter Heaven with. A savior cannot be a judge, nor |
Tx:22.24 | Let us look closer at the whole | illusion that what you made has power to enslave its maker. This is |
Tx:22.24 | enemies. And here we see again another form of the same fundamental | illusion we have seen many times before. Only if it were possible the |
Tx:22.27 | Its will has no exceptions, and what it wills is true. Every | illusion brought to its forgiveness is gently overlooked and |
Tx:22.35 | Reason will tell you that, if form is not reality, it must be an | illusion and is not there to see. And if you see it, you must be |
Tx:22.44 | slip through its nothingness. It is no solid wall. And only an | illusion stands between you and the holy Self you share. |
Tx:22.49 | in truth. What, then, must happen when they come together? Can the | illusion of immovability be long defended from what is quietly passed |
Tx:22.50 | to be defensive about anything, you have identified yourself with an | illusion. And therefore feel that you are weak because you are alone. |
Tx:22.50 | to stand between you that makes it look impenetrable and defends the | illusion of its immovability. |
Tx:22.56 | in time can long remain in minds that serve the timeless. And no | illusion can disturb the peace of a relationship which has become the |
Tx:22.57 | could block your sight, preventing you from seeing past it? And what | illusion could there be you will not recognize as a mistake—a |
Tx:23.3 | for their awareness of the truth releases everything from the | illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful now stands shining |
Tx:23.9 | a mistake—an error in your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an | illusion of yourself you share with it. And yet illusions cannot |
Tx:23.11 | itself, and you have not forgotten what you are. Only a strange | illusion of yourself, a wish to triumph over what you are, remembers |
Tx:23.13 | what you know when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. One | illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two |
Tx:23.15 | the conqueror to be the truer, the more real, and vanquisher of the | illusion that was less real, made an illusion by defeat. Thus, |
Tx:23.15 | real, and vanquisher of the illusion that was less real, made an | illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice between illusions, |
Tx:23.15 | and despised. Here will the Father never be remembered. Yet no | illusion can invade His home and drive Him out of what He loves |
Tx:23.18 | Illusion meets illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of illusions | |
Tx:23.18 | Illusion meets | illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war. |
Tx:23.37 | life, there life must be. In any state apart from Heaven, life is | illusion. At best, it seems like life; at worst, like death. Yet both |
Tx:23.46 | safety. Not one tree left standing still will shelter you. Not one | illusion of protection stands against the faith in murder. Here |
Tx:23.47 | Yet He remains the only place of safety. In Him is no attack, and no | illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is wholly true. No |
Tx:23.47 | is not love is murder. What is not loving must be an attack. Every | illusion is an assault on truth, and every one does violence to the |
Tx:23.52 | up. For you have chosen to remain where He would have you, and no | illusion can attack the peace of God together with His Son. |
Tx:24.1 | to let Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what | illusion that idly seems to drift between them has the power to |
Tx:24.7 | is the great dictator of the wrong decisions. Here is the grand | illusion of what you are and what your brother is. And here is what |
Tx:24.7 | For what your brother must become to keep your specialness is an | illusion. He who is “worse” than you must be attacked so that your |
Tx:24.16 | it would show them that the specialness they think they see is an | illusion. What would they see instead? |
Tx:24.25 | death but your awaking into life eternal. You but emerge from an | illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as God created |
Tx:24.26 | why it is impossible but partly to forgive. No one who clings to one | illusion can see himself as sinless, for he holds one error to |
Tx:25.37 | meaningless without the goal of sin. Attack and sin are bound as one | illusion, each the cause and aim and justifier of the other. Each is |
Tx:25.52 | deeply valued here were true, then every Thought God ever had is an | illusion. And if but one Thought of His is true, then all beliefs the |
Tx:26.5 | Those who would see the witnesses to truth instead of to | illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that |
Tx:26.21 | final judgment upon this world. It is the judgment of the truth upon | illusion, of knowledge on perception—it has no meaning and does not |
Tx:26.23 | of alternatives for choice. That there is choice is an | illusion. Yet within this one lies the undoing of every illusion, |
Tx:26.23 | is an illusion. Yet within this one lies the undoing of every | illusion, not excepting this. |
Tx:26.24 | conflict here. No sacrifice is possible in the relinquishment of an | illusion recognized as such. Where all reality has been withdrawn |
Tx:26.33 | an instant, long ago before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one | illusion still remains unanswered in your mind. Uncertainty was |
Tx:26.41 | are real and have existence which can be perceived. This terrible | illusion was denied in but the time it took for God to give His |
Tx:26.41 | was denied in but the time it took for God to give His answer to | illusion for all time and every circumstance. And then it was no |
Tx:26.44 | has the power to hurt, but just because you have denied it is but an | illusion and made it real. And it is real to you. It is not |
Tx:26.44 | in sacrifice and death has come to you. For no one can make one | illusion real and still escape the rest. For who can choose to keep |
Tx:26.45 | Lead not your little lives in solitude with one | illusion as your only friend. This is no friendship worthy of God's |
Tx:26.45 | a better Friend in Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests. The one | illusion that you think is friend obscures His grace and majesty |
Tx:26.45 | is no other friend. What God appointed has no substitute, for what | illusion can replace the truth? |
Tx:26.46 | its emptiness has left yours empty and unoccupied? Make no | illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of Him whom |
Tx:26.50 | can be seen as upside-down. And this must be corrected where the | illusion of reversal lies. |
Tx:26.51 | It is impossible that one | illusion be less amenable to truth than are the rest. But it is |
Tx:26.51 | and less willingly offered to truth for healing and for help. No | illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears some are more true than |
Tx:26.68 | that you might be a little separate. For time and space are one | illusion which takes different forms. If it has been projected beyond |
Tx:26.75 | Yet this | illusion has a cause which, though untrue, must be already in your |
Tx:26.75 | a cause which, though untrue, must be already in your mind. And this | illusion is but one effect which it engenders and one form in which |
Tx:27.81 | world as real. He would have seen at once that these ideas are one | illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed away. How |
Tx:28.38 | dream and join [with] one but let the other go. The dream is but | illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but |
Tx:28.38 | think that you are but a dream. And what is real and what is but | illusion in yourself you do not know and cannot tell apart. |
Tx:28.39 | Like you, your brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his | illusion of himself, for your identity depends on his reality. Think |
Tx:28.49 | of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are your Self or an | illusion. What can be between illusion and the truth? A middle ground |
Tx:28.49 | no compromise. You are your Self or an illusion. What can be between | illusion and the truth? A middle ground where you can be a thing that |
Tx:28.51 | can be? Let not your eyes behold a dream, your ears bear witness to | illusion. They were made to look upon a world that is not there, to |
Tx:29.12 | the function of retaining sin and pain. For pain and sin are one | illusion, as are hate and fear, attack and guilt but one. Where they |
Tx:29.31 | this whole world has been forgotten, where no memory of sin and of | illusion lingers still. There is a place in you which time has left, |
Tx:29.34 | They hold no sword, for they have left their hold on every vain | illusion of the world. And being empty, they received instead a |
Tx:29.44 | No one who comes here but must still have hope, some lingering | illusion, or some dream that there is something outside of himself |
Tx:29.45 | The lingering | illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek |
Tx:30.53 | power that can have no real effects at all? What could it be but an | illusion, making things appear like to itself? Look calmly at its |
Tx:30.76 | are true. If one appearance must remain apart from healing, one | illusion must be part of truth. And you could not escape all guilt, |
Tx:31.15 | What you would choose between is not a choice and gives but the | illusion it is free, for it will have one outcome either way. Thus is |
Tx:31.31 | want to hold in guilt your chosen enemies nor keep in chains to the | illusion of a changing love the ones you think are friends. |
Tx:31.34 | Real choice is no | illusion. But the world has none to offer. All its roads but lead to |
Tx:31.40 | cannot lie in choosing different forms of what is still the same | illusion and the same mistake. All choices in the world depend on |
Tx:31.76 | that there is a space between you and your brother, kept apart by an | illusion of yourself which holds him off from you and you away from |
Tx:31.76 | from him. The sword of judgment is the weapon which you give to the | illusion of yourself that it may fight to keep the space that holds |
Tx:31.97 | ending at the place where it began. No trace of it remains. Not one | illusion is accorded faith, and not one spot of darkness still |

W1:51.3 | this and only this that I see. This is not vision. It is merely an | illusion of reality, because my judgments have been made quite apart |
W1:52.2 | because I have given them reality and thus regard reality as an | illusion. Nothing in God's creation is affected in any way by this |
W1:53.4 | and no hope. But such a world is not real. I have given it the | illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it. Now I |

W1:66.11 | practice period today. Think also about the many forms which the | illusion of your function has taken in your mind and the many ways in |
W1:71.4 | work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the | illusion persists that, although this hope has always failed, there |
W1:73.9 | to remember. No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an | illusion of strength. Today let your will be done. And end forever |
W1:83.7 | unaffected by this. Nothing, including this, can justify the | illusion of happiness apart from my function. |
W1:84.4 | Let me not see an | illusion of myself in this. As I look on this, let me remember my |
W1:88.2 | not there to choose. That is why I always choose between truth and | illusion, between what is there and what is not. The light has come. |
W1:91.11 | but unlimited. I am not doubtful, but certain. I am not an | illusion, but a reality. I cannot see in darkness, but in light. |
W1:93.15 | If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the | illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be |
W1:96.2 | The fact that truth and | illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what means you |
W1:99.2 | salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between the truth and | illusion. It reflects the truth because it is the means by which you |
W1:101.2 | If sin is real then happiness must be | illusion, for they cannot both be true. The sinful warrant only death |
W1:107.9 | that has been born of truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of | illusion is not our approach today. We are as certain of success as |

W1:131.7 | Why wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great | illusion; it is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is |
W1:133.8 | they are there. Who seeks to take away has been deceived by the | illusion loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer loss and nothing |
W1:134.3 | the truth in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by making an | illusion true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the |
W1:134.19 | yourself. When this occurs, allow your mind to see through this | illusion as you tell yourself: |
W1:136.1 | When this is seen, healing is automatic. It dispels this meaningless | illusion by the same approach that carries all of them to truth and |
W1:136.14 | It is this fact which demonstrates that time is an | illusion. For it lets you think what God has given you is not the |
W1:140.1 | it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute | illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness takes another form, and |
W1:140.1 | mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for | illusion. One belief in sickness takes another form, and so the |
W1:140.6 | fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a thought which judges an | illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or anything that is |
W1:140.6 | the form it takes. It merely focuses on what it is and knows that no | illusion can be real. |
W1:140.7 | is really changed. There is no change but this. For how can one | illusion differ from another but in attributes that have no |
W1:140.14 | cover us with soft protection and with peace so deep that no | illusion can disturb our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. |
W1:155.2 | The world is an | illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a place |
W1:155.2 | it lead the way. What other choice is really theirs to make? To let | illusion walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let illusion sink |
W1:155.2 | to make? To let illusion walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let | illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what |
W1:155.3 | This is the simple choice we make today. The mad | illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who |
W1:155.3 | a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can look beyond | illusion to the simple truth in them. |
W1:155.6 | Illusion still appears to cling to you that you may reach them. Yet | |
W1:155.6 | you that you may reach them. Yet it has stepped back, and it is not | illusion that they hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring |
W1:155.6 | stepped back, and it is not illusion that they hear you speak of nor | illusion which you bring their eyes to look on and their minds to |
W1:155.6 | Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through | illusion, for the road leads past illusion now, while on the way you |
W1:155.6 | of you, speak to them through illusion, for the road leads past | illusion now, while on the way you call to them that they may follow |
W1:155.7 | death and set them on the way to happiness. Their suffering is but | illusion. Yet they need a guide to lead them out of it, for they |
W1:155.7 | Yet they need a guide to lead them out of it, for they mistake | illusion for the truth. |
W1:155.8 | truth, and let it go before you, lighting up the path of ransom from | illusion. It is not a ransom with a price. There is no cost, but only |
W1:155.8 | It is not a ransom with a price. There is no cost, but only gain. | Illusion can but seem to hold in chains the holy Son of God. It is |
W1:155.11 | holy Son of God will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be | illusion rather than the truth. And we step forth toward this as we |
W1:158.4 | Time is a trick—a sleight of hand, a vast | illusion in which figures come and go as if by magic. Yet there is a |
W1:160.4 | and fear. They cannot coexist. If you are real, then fear must be | illusion. And if fear is real, then you do not exist at all. |
W1:162.2 | is no dream these words will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no | illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away before their |
W1:163.8 | well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be | illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is given us to look |
W1:165.1 | wills for you? And what could hide what cannot be concealed except | illusion? What could keep from you what you already have except your |
W1:R5.12 | in your own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew before | illusion seemed to claim the world. And we remind the world that it |
W1:182.2 | tears at all. Still others will maintain that what we speak of is | illusion, not to be considered more than but a dream. Yet who in |
W1:184.6 | can be seen, as is anticipated. What denies that it is true is but | illusion, for it is the ultimate reality. To question it is madness; |
W1:187.9 | them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness? The great | illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the |
W1:190.7 | has no power to cause. As an effect, it cannot make effects. As an | illusion it is what you will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. |
W1:190.10 | lesson which contains all of salvation's power. It is this: pain is | illusion; joy reality. Pain is but sleep; joy is awakening. Pain is |
W1:192.2 | And who would pardon Heaven? Yet on earth you need the means to let | illusion go. Creation merely waits for your return to be |

W1:198.12 | Accept the one | illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God's Son, and |
W1:199.3 | and lives united with the home that it has made. It is a part of the | illusion that has sheltered it from being found illusory itself. |
W2:WIW.3 | The mechanisms of | illusion have been born instead. And now they go to find what has |
W2:WIW.3 | upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report is but | illusion, which is kept apart from truth. |
W2:248.1 | not part of me. What grieves is not myself. What is in pain is but | illusion in my mind. What dies was never living in reality and did |
W2:269.1 | His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I ask for the | illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a |
W2:WIC.2 | you one with God and guarantees that separation is no more than an | illusion of despair. For hope forever will abide in Him. Your mind is |
W2:331.1 | with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is | illusion; life, Eternal Truth. There is no opposition to Your Will. |

M:3.3 | more about the new direction as he teaches it. We have covered the | illusion of time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching |
M:3.3 | he teaches it. We have covered the illusion of time already, but the | illusion of levels of teaching seems to be something different. |
M:4.6 | that any degree of reality should be accorded them in this world of | illusion. The word “value” can apply to nothing else. |
M:5.1 | Healing involves an understanding of what the | illusion of sickness is for. Healing is impossible without this. |
M:7.5 | in an illusory self, for only such a self can be doubted. This | illusion can take many forms. Perhaps there is a fear of weakness and |
M:8.2 | of differences. How could it be otherwise? By definition, an | illusion is an attempt to make something real that is regarded as of |
M:8.2 | unacceptable, the mind revolts against truth and gives itself an | illusion of victory. Finding health a burden, it retreats into |
M:8.5 | be no order of difficulty in healing merely because all sickness is | illusion. Is it harder to dispel the belief of the insane in a larger |
M:10.2 | up judgment, he merely gives up what he did not have. He gives up an | illusion; or better, he has an illusion of giving up. He has actually |
M:10.2 | what he did not have. He gives up an illusion; or better, he has an | illusion of giving up. He has actually merely become more honest. |
M:10.5 | you could merely stagger and fall down beneath it. And it was all | illusion. Nothing more. Now can the teacher of God rise up unburdened |
M:12.3 | Why is the | illusion of many necessary? Only because reality is not |
M:12.4 | is one is recognized as one. The teachers of God appear to share the | illusion of separation, but because of what they use the body for, |
M:12.4 | because of what they use the body for, they do not believe in the | illusion despite appearances. |
M:13.1 | for it. Now its real meaning is a lesson. Like all lessons, it is an | illusion, for in reality there is nothing to learn. Yet this illusion |
M:13.1 | is an illusion, for in reality there is nothing to learn. Yet this | illusion must be replaced by a corrective device, another illusion |
M:13.1 | Yet this illusion must be replaced by a corrective device, another | illusion that replaces the first, so both can finally disappear. The |

M:14.1 | Can what has no beginning really end? The world will end in an | illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an illusion of mercy. |

M:14.3 | It is not easier to forgive one sin than to forgive all of them. The | illusion of orders of difficulty is an obstacle the teacher of God |
M:16.6 | not so. Your safety lies not there. What you give up is merely the | illusion of protecting illusions. And it is this you fear, and only |
M:16.11 | magic. All belief in magic is maintained by just one simple-minded | illusion—that it works. All through his training, every day and |

C:1.6 | think if your worries affect time this is an effect, but time is an | illusion. It too does not matter. Remind yourself of this as well. |

C:4.10 | experience here, rejoice in knowing that it is not so. This seeming | illusion is believed in because your mind has made it so. Your |
C:5.17 | This is reality. All you do not join with remains outside and is | illusion, for what is not one with you does not exist. |
C:5.18 | You thus become a body moving through a world of | illusion where nothing is real and nothing is happening in truth. |
C:5.28 | only loss that union generates, and it is a loss of what was merely | illusion. As union begins to look more attractive to you, you are |
C:5.30 | as this is all that is real here. God cannot be seen in | illusion nor known to those who fear him. All fear is fear of |
C:6.5 | deny. When you choose unity over separation, you choose reality over | illusion. You end opposition by choosing harmony. You end conflict by |
C:6.8 | only to reveal the relationship that exists between truth and | illusion. When you chose to deny relationship, you chose a thought |
C:6.14 | choice to renounce hell, while truth is indeed a choice to renounce | illusion, these are the only real choices that exist, and they do not |
C:7.5 | by which you live your life. Your effort goes into maintaining this | illusion that what you are must be protected, and that your |
C:7.9 | is what has made the world the world it is. What you withhold allows | illusion to rule and truth to be locked away in a vault so |
C:7.10 | merely effects of the selfsame cause that keeps truth separate from | illusion. Where truth has come illusion is no more. Truth has no need |
C:7.10 | cause that keeps truth separate from illusion. Where truth has come | illusion is no more. Truth has no need of your protection, for truth |
C:7.10 | no more. Truth has no need of your protection, for truth brought to | illusion shines its light into the darkness, causing it to be no more. |
C:7.14 | or to have more or be more. This is life based on comparison of | illusion to illusion. |
C:7.14 | more or be more. This is life based on comparison of illusion to | illusion. |
C:8.8 | real there would be no place for love at all, but love abides where | illusion cannot enter. These illusions are like barnacles upon your |
C:8.15 | They were made to keep wholeness from you and to convince you of the | illusion of your separateness. Step back. See your body as just the |
C:8.27 | details mask the truth so thoroughly that all truth is given over to | illusion. |
C:9.2 | for protection that has caused what you feel to become so clouded by | illusion. If you felt no need to protect your heart, or any of those |
C:9.8 | the power of God. You took what God created and turned it into an | illusion so powerful that you believe it is what you are, rather than |
C:9.8 | this. This is the choice set before you—to go on believing in the | illusion you have made, or to begin to see the truth. |
C:9.16 | one is fear, the other love. Fear is thus the source of all | illusion, love the source of truth. |
C:9.22 | of a meal, a cup of water, a warm bed? While you are trapped in the | illusion of need surely these acts of charity are of some value, but |
C:9.24 | can occur that will accomplish what you seek is the replacement of | illusion with the truth, the replacement of fear with love, the |
C:9.31 | are cannot be used, not even by God. See you not that it is only in | illusion that you can use others who are like yourself? |
C:9.33 | time your imitation of the gift of free will is so falsely placed in | illusion that you cannot see this madness for what it truly is. Your |
C:9.43 | be purchased and that master is freer than slave. Although this is | illusion, it is the illusion that is sought. The purchase price is |
C:9.43 | master is freer than slave. Although this is illusion, it is the | illusion that is sought. The purchase price is usefulness. And so |
C:9.49 | you must use your brothers and sisters in order to even maintain the | illusion of your separation. Would it not simply be better to end |
C:9.50 | are learning by observing your own self. Now we seek to uncover the | illusion that you can be used by your body, for your own seeming use |
C:10.1 | is the same. The body is a tool made for your use in maintaining the | illusion of your separation. That it has seeming power can only be |
C:10.3 | wholeness, including the thought system that you made to protect the | illusion you hold so dear. Your thought system is completely alien to |
C:10.3 | system of truth is as wholly consistent as the thought system of | illusion, and you cannot take what you will and leave the rest. Thus |
C:10.4 | of all transformation is at the source, and this is as true of | illusion as of the truth. You see your body as your self, and your |
C:10.16 | not exist, only that it is not you. Like all tools you made, it is | illusion because you have no need of tools. But while you believe you |
C:11.16 | from weakness but from strength, and that goes out to truth and not | illusion. It is a call whose answer will come to you quickly on the |
C:12.7 | If you but understood the energy required to keep the world of your | illusion in its place, you would understand the rest that will simply |
C:13.1 | of bodies is just a first step that will take you beyond the | illusion of bodies to togetherness of spirit. |
C:14.8 | to give up the laws of chaos for the laws of reason. The laws of | illusion for the laws of truth. |
C:14.13 | a value quite beyond compare. In this you were correct. It was no | illusion that caused you to feel this way. This was not the love that |
C:15.11 | would hold dear. But which would you rather betray? The truth or | illusion? You cannot be loyal to both, and herein lies your problem. |
C:15.11 | cannot live without or abandon hope of receiving. And so you choose | illusion over truth and betray all that you are and the hope your |
C:16.12 | the wrongs you would enumerate. True forgiveness simply looks past | illusion to the truth where there are no sins to be forgiven, no |
C:16.25 | have used your power for. You know your power created the world of | illusion in which you live, and so you think another must be able to |
C:19.4 | and that is why you are still needed here. Beneath the world of | illusion that you have made to glorify the separated self lies the |
C:19.22 | been described, a sorting of the real from the unreal, of truth from | illusion. Despite the similarity between what this will call forth |
C:20.48 | wisdom but the truth. The truth is that which exists. The false is | illusion. Love is all that matters because love is all that is. |
C:28.2 | then, you might ask, is the truth brought to those still living in | illusion? |
C:29.9 | remember that your own hand can open it once again. It is a gate of | illusion, of mist, of clouds before the sun. Your hand is |
C:31.27 | the ego sprang from a lie, the lie of separation that created the | illusion of separate minds and varying degrees of truth. |
C:31.31 | are one in truth. The truth is what is. What is not the truth is | illusion. Does this not make perfect sense? |
T1:1.4 | the present-moment experience memory provides that truth rather than | illusion can now be experienced and learned from. It is in the |
T1:1.5 | All that you have experienced in truth is love. All that | illusion provided you with was nothing. Thus your first task as you |
T1:1.5 | first task as you remember and re-experience is that of separating | illusion from the truth. This act will require no effort for what you |
T1:1.5 | you will, if you trust your heart, be perfectly able to identify | illusion and truth. This is a simple act of recognizing meaning. All |
T1:1.5 | act of recognizing meaning. All that you believe you learned from | illusion will have no meaning to you now and will allow you to give |
T1:1.10 | it is like to think as God thinks.” Where once you recognized only | illusion and called it reality, the mind joined in union will now, |
T1:3.1 | forerunners of new learning. They are but opportunities to replace | illusion with the truth so that the truth of who you are is all that |
T1:3.2 | Seeing how different from the experience of | illusion is the experience of truth is the same as seeing how |
T1:3.3 | of all of this, it cannot experience the truth and so exists in | illusion. |
T1:3.4 | The experience of truth dispels | illusion and thus the ego-mind. The art of thought replaces the |
T1:4.2 | Thus we must dispel, along with the | illusion of fear, the illusion of specificity. You have not been |
T1:4.2 | Thus we must dispel, along with the illusion of fear, the | illusion of specificity. You have not been asked to request a |
T1:5.3 | what I speak of specifically here. While I can tell you suffering is | illusion, you cannot still your fear of it nor tear your eyes away |
T1:5.3 | you, the choice that you each must make to end such suffering, the | illusion of suffering has continued and in its continuation made the |
T1:5.7 | The whole of life could in fact be seen as the | illusion of an in-between you have created between all and nothing. |
T1:5.9 | the thinking of your ego-mind that make the in-between state of the | illusion in which you now exist seem real. I must make a distinction |
T1:5.9 | in the realm of the truly real, but is actually present within the | illusion. This is why all seeking must turn within, toward the heart |
T1:5.10 | thought system based on anything but the truth lead to anything but | illusion? |
T1:7.2 | is disease; the absence of peace is conflict, the absence of truth | illusion. This belief does not accept that there is only one reality |
T1:8.9 | Illusion is the death you need but arise from. Arise and awaken to | |
T1:8.10 | to creation is proof of your memory's tenacity and the failure of | illusion to completely rid you of what you know. |
T1:8.11 | matters not as myth and reality have no concrete distinction in the | illusion within which you live. In other words you live as much by |
T2:7.13 | This is about being who you are and seeing the truth rather than the | illusion that surrounds you. You cannot, in other words, be a good |
T2:7.19 | long abide in the holy place of your heart. Then, with truth and | illusion separated, you develop the discipline to express your true |
T2:8.2 | of devotion for in this practice is the truth separated from | illusion. |
T3:1.4 | the truth. A representation of what is not the truth reveals only | illusion and becomes illusion. Thus, as your personal self becomes a |
T3:1.4 | of what is not the truth reveals only illusion and becomes | illusion. Thus, as your personal self becomes a representation of the |
T3:1.6 | most of your life representing the ego have but given a face to | illusion and made it seem real. When I say that you have represented |
T3:1.8 | who you are, to erroneously have seen your former representation of | illusion as the truth of who you are is what has led to your |
T3:1.9 | self, as a representation of the ego, was who you were, was an | illusion that blocked awareness of your true Self from your mind. |
T3:1.9 | your mind. Your true Self is now ready to come out of the mist of | illusion in which it was hidden and to be represented in truth by the |
T3:1.11 | to be could be two completely different selves. Even within the | illusion in which you existed there was a self kept hidden. |
T3:2.5 | your real Self. This belief was based in logic, but the logic of the | illusion—in which you believed you chose to separate from God out |
T3:2.7 | And yet the truth has as many ways of being represented as does | illusion. |
T3:2.8 | Just as artistic representations of | illusion are sometimes called art, representations of the self of |
T3:2.8 | of illusion are sometimes called art, representations of the self of | illusion have been called the self without this being so. In each, |
T3:2.8 | great harm to others and the world. There is no truth to be found in | illusion and so no representations of perceived truth, no matter how |
T3:4.1 | insanity. It merely calls you to sanity by calling you to let go of | illusion in favor of the truth. |
T3:4.2 | not for monks or clones. It asks not that you give up anything but | illusion, which is the giving up of nothing. |
T3:4.6 | This is what we have done. We have taken away the foundation of | illusion, the one error that became the basis of all that came after |
T3:4.7 | before, the only replacement that will work is the replacement of | illusion with the truth. The very purpose of this Treatise is to |
T3:4.7 | The very purpose of this Treatise is to prevent the replacement of | illusion with illusion, or one ego-self with another. The training of |
T3:4.7 | of this Treatise is to prevent the replacement of illusion with | illusion, or one ego-self with another. The training of this Course, |
T3:5.8 | original purpose cannot go unfulfilled. What this means is that the | illusion will be no more and truth will reign. Such is the reign of |
T3:7.6 | have formerly been capable of representing who you are only within | illusion for this was the abode in which you resided. Illusion has |
T3:7.6 | only within illusion for this was the abode in which you resided. | Illusion has been to you like a house with many doors. You have |
T3:7.6 | that the house you entered was still the same house, the house of | illusion. You took yourself into these many rooms and in some you |
T3:7.6 | true Self. This representation of the true Self within the house of | illusion was like an explosion happening there. For a moment, the |
T3:7.8 | Thus has been the best of what you call life within the | illusion. |
T3:7.9 | The reason is that the Source cannot be found within the house of | illusion. The Source can only be found from within the House of Truth. |
T3:8.1 | this is what we work toward. Symbols are needed only in the house of | illusion, just as are beliefs. The most enlightened among you have |
T3:8.1 | The work that is upon you now is that of replacing the house of | illusion once and for all with the home of truth. The work that is |
T3:8.3 | carry this bitterness within you, you will remain in the house of | illusion for your feelings are as real to you as have been the |
T3:8.3 | anything other than the truth remains real to you, your house of | illusion will remain a real structure, a structure that keeps you |
T3:8.9 | As the representations of the true Self within the house of | illusion caused explosions and a fallout of treasure, the |
T3:8.10 | could not have imagined all that the explosions in the house of | illusion have wrought. These treasures that you now enjoy would have |
T3:9.3 | and exist in relationship. All of the ideas within the house of | illusion were contained within it and held together by the learned |
T3:9.3 | must imagine yourself walking outside of the doors of this house of | illusion and finding a completely new reality beyond its walls. You |
T3:9.3 | at first, to see things that are like unto those within the house of | illusion and call them what you called them once before. But here you |
T3:9.4 | You will see that the house of | illusion was just a structure built within the universe of truth and |
T3:9.4 | you will be glad to see that those who remain within the house of | illusion could not escape love's presence. |
T3:9.5 | You will be tempted, nonetheless, to re-enter the house of | illusion, if only to grasp the hands of those you love and gently tug |
T3:9.5 | will finally come tumbling down and those inside be held within | illusion no more. This was the work of many who came before you but |
T3:9.5 | of such work, for you, is past. Many remain to shake the walls of | illusion. Few stand beyond it to beckon to those within. |
T3:9.6 | The paradise that is the truth seems to lie far beyond the house of | illusion in the valley of death. Survivors of near death experiences |
T3:9.6 | than life. You who have followed me beyond the walls of the house of | illusion are now called to begin the act of revealing and creating |
T3:10.7 | of the past. How can it be when the past was lived in the house of | illusion and the present is lived in the House of Truth? Being |

T3:10.16 | it. While you continue to encounter those who exist in the house of | illusion you will continue to encounter temptations of the human |
T3:11.1 | of awareness of the self. Those existing within the house of | illusion are aware of the self but are unaware that the self of |
T3:11.1 | of illusion are aware of the self but are unaware that the self of | illusion, the self that exists in illusion, is an illusionary self. |
T3:11.1 | but are unaware that the self of illusion, the self that exists in | illusion, is an illusionary self. This could be further stated as |
T3:11.1 | This could be further stated as those who exist in the house of | illusion are aware of the personal self alone and believe the |
T3:11.4 | but a dwelling place. The word house as used in the house of | illusion does represent a structure. The house of illusion is a |

T3:11.5 | The house of | illusion is the stage on which the drama of the human experience has |
T3:11.6 | During the time I spent on earth I did not dwell in the house of | illusion but in the House of Truth. What this means is that I was |
T3:11.10 | by denying any right or wrong, the difference between truth and | illusion can no longer be denied. To realize the difference between |
T3:11.10 | can no longer be denied. To realize the difference between truth and | illusion is not to call one right and the other wrong but to simply |
T3:11.10 | as we proceed so that you are not tempted to judge those living in | illusion or their reality. Their reality does not exist. Believing in |
T3:11.10 | reality. Their reality does not exist. Believing in the reality of | illusion will never make it the truth. |
T3:11.12 | brothers and sisters. All exist in the House of Truth. The house of | illusion exists within the House of Truth because it is where your |
T3:11.12 | it is where your brothers and sisters think they are. The house of | illusion is not a hell to which anyone has been banished. It can at |
T3:11.13 | You must not see your brothers and sisters within the house of | illusion but must see them where they truly are—within the House of |
T3:11.13 | —within the House of Truth. As soon as you would “see” the house of | illusion, you would make it real, and with its reality judgment would |
T3:11.15 | learn lessons of the new you will be seeing how the lessons of the | illusion can be useful in a new way to your brothers and sisters as |
T3:11.15 | Do not be afraid to use anything available within the house of | illusion to promote the recognition of truth. Do not be afraid of the |
T3:11.15 | promote the recognition of truth. Do not be afraid of the house of | illusion at all. What illusion can frighten those who know the truth? |
T3:11.15 | of truth. Do not be afraid of the house of illusion at all. What | illusion can frighten those who know the truth? |
T3:11.16 | It comes to remind you, as you replace the thought system of | illusion with the thought system of the truth, that having remembered |
T3:13.4 | the new thought system of the truth; accepting the truth and leaving | illusion behind. The new thought system is simple to learn. What is |
T3:13.4 | is simple to learn. What is of love is truth. What is of fear is | illusion. The temptation is to see love where it is not and to not |
T3:14.2 | learned and becoming aware that for a while you but flirted with | illusion. This flirting with illusion is like unto the temptations of |
T3:14.2 | that for a while you but flirted with illusion. This flirting with | illusion is like unto the temptations of the human experience and |
T3:14.8 | What you would keep is of love. What you would leave behind is of | illusion. |
T3:14.11 | now and allow the self that you would blame to pass away into the | illusion from which it came. Remember that bitterness, like the ego, |
T3:15.11 | through the same methods that have been used in the past to learn | illusion. This Course teaches that love cannot be learned. I have |
T3:15.17 | to be in the past, you will not be living by the truth but by | illusion. |
T3:15.18 | Illusion is the “truth” by which you have lived. The total | |
T3:15.18 | is the “truth” by which you have lived. The total replacement of | illusion with the truth is what the new thought system will |
T3:16.3 | ego has not brought an end to suffering or strife, nor made of this | illusion a happy dream. |
T3:16.14 | is with the truth and that you no longer have a relationship with | illusion. All of your fears in regards to special relationships are |
T3:16.15 | special for you will see the truth of who they are rather than the | illusion of who you would have them be. |
T3:16.16 | and all encompassing. Nothing but the truth is all encompassing. | Illusion is made of parts that do not form real connections but that |
T3:16.16 | they came. The cement that was used to hold together the house of | illusion was only your fear. |
T3:16.17 | it has always encompassed you, even unto encompassing the house of | illusion that you made to obscure it from yourself. |
T3:17.6 | Spirit is always called upon to return the true Self to the self of | illusion. A Holy Spirit is called to return to your mind and heart. |
T3:17.7 | other names have represented the truth and in so doing dispelled | illusion within themselves and those who followed their teachings and |
T3:17.8 | Holy Spirit, unlike God the Creator, has known the existence of the | illusion and the thought system of the ego-self and been able to |
T3:17.8 | system of the ego-self and been able to communicate within that | illusion. Without this means of communication with the ego-self the |
T3:17.8 | you. The “time” of the Holy Spirit has now ended because the time of | illusion is now called to an end. What is finite has an end point and |
T3:17.8 | finite has an end point and this is that end point for the time of | illusion. The return of Christ, or your ability and willingness to |
T3:17.8 | true Self, to live in the House of Truth rather than the house of | illusion, is what will end the time of illusion. Just as the truth is |
T3:17.8 | rather than the house of illusion, is what will end the time of | illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and illusion is illusion; |
T3:17.8 | will end the time of illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and | illusion is illusion; just as these things are what they are without |
T3:17.8 | the time of illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and illusion is | illusion; just as these things are what they are without judgment; so |
T3:17.8 | Spirit, or the time in which communication was needed between the | illusion and the truth, must end in order for the truth to become the |

T3:18.9 | system. If it is no longer instructed by the thought system of | illusion, it is natural to realize that it will now be instructed by |
T3:19.1 | by the thought system of the truth rather than the thought system of | illusion. You will fear these changes less if you realize that all |
T3:19.11 | expressions are meaningless and have no effect in truth but only in | illusion. To live in truth is to live without fear of the meaningless |
T3:19.11 | is to live without fear of the meaningless acts of those living in | illusion because they will be unable to cause effect in the House of |
T3:19.14 | uncomfortable and even rage-producing for those still living in | illusion. But it will be much more tempting to be divisive, |
T3:19.14 | those living in the new. Many who observe the new from the house of | illusion will still be able to deny what they see. Just think of how |
T3:19.15 | You will be tempted to return to the house of | illusion to gather those within and bid them join you in the reality |
T3:19.15 | convincing. You cannot argue the case of truth in the courtroom of | illusion. |
T3:19.16 | clear and only choice evident. It is a choice to live in truth or in | illusion. There are many ways that can still be found to come to the |
T3:20.1 | By saying that there is no longer any time to be wasted on | illusion we are saying that you will no longer serve time but that |
T3:20.1 | longer serve time but that time will serve you. Time was wasted on | illusion and so but seemed to become a master that made of you a |
T3:20.1 | be thought of in a new way, a way that has to do with effectiveness. | Illusion has at its base a false cause and so no effects that exist |
T3:20.2 | was no sense to be made of concepts such as more or less within | illusion, and although more or less are concepts also foreign to the |
T3:20.8 | such situations in a new way, but all situations within the house of | illusion call for the same response, the response of love to love. |
T3:20.11 | It is a learning that must not change to fit the circumstances of | illusion but be unchanging to fit the circumstances of the truth. |
T3:20.12 | You can no longer return to the house of | illusion, not even to cause explosions within it. You have stepped |
T3:20.15 | of old. They do not work! To minister to those within the house of | illusion is to offer the temporary to the temporary when I call you |
T3:20.15 | You cannot call others to abandon their willingness to live in | illusion by joining them there! You can only call others to a |
T3:20.15 | joining them there! You can only call others to a willingness to set | illusion aside and to begin the journey home to unity. You can only |
T3:20.17 | See not what love would not have you see. Turn from the dark ways of | illusion and shine the light of truth for all to see. Remain who you |
T3:20.19 | other circumstance you will encounter. You will encounter truth or | illusion and nothing else for there is nothing else. There is but one |
T3:21.5 | Your real Self exists in truth. It does not exist in | illusion. |
T3:21.6 | Your personal self exists in | illusion. It is called a personal self because it is attached to a |
T3:21.9 | This will sound intolerant to you. It is a stance intolerant of | illusion. You must no longer see illusion for it is no longer there! |
T3:21.9 | you. It is a stance intolerant of illusion. You must no longer see | illusion for it is no longer there! This is how you must live with |
T3:21.9 | truth. You must find it unobservable! It must become a concept only. | Illusion is a set of facts, or in other words, a set of information. |
T3:21.9 | to change and mean one thing to one person and one thing to another. | Illusion is symbolic. And what's more it symbolizes nothing for it |
T3:22.13 | category, a category that only exists in the dualistic world of | illusion where here and now is separate from what will be. In the new |
T3:22.13 | truth reigns, there is no cause for tension for there is no world of | illusion where what is, is separate from what will be. |
T4:1.2 | It will, however, be conclusive. It will separate truth from | illusion in ways that will make some uncomfortable. It will continue |
T4:1.11 | These are the only two choices, the choices between truth and | illusion, fear and love, unity and separation, now and later. What |
T4:1.12 | was said within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” even the house of | illusion is held within the embrace of love, of God, of the truth. |
T4:1.16 | is in this way that the truth of the past still lives and that the | illusion of the past never was. |
T4:2.7 | But before we can proceed forward, I must return to and dispel any | illusion you may have of superiority over those who came before. That |
T4:2.16 | you now have within you, the power to observe the truth rather than | illusion. This is the power to observe what is. This is |
D:2.10 | seemed to work for you in the past. That they seemed to work is the | illusion that will give way as you deny yourself access to the old so |
D:2.18 | systems because these systems are based upon misperceptions or | illusion. Your desire to cling to systems that are not foolproof is |
D:3.4 | the old must be vanquished in order for the truth to triumph over | illusion. |
D:3.13 | awareness in form of what has previously been hidden by the mists of | illusion is the more challenging task. |
D:5.3 | to the world you see, it did not change the truth but only created | illusion. Thus the truth is still available to be seen. |

D:Day4.53 | has been the means chosen, by us, to move you through the layers of | illusion that have disguised your fear, to move you beyond false |
D:Day8.13 | you have been told that your real Self will be intolerant only of | illusion and that this intolerance will take the form of seeing only |
D:Day8.13 | the form of seeing only the truth rather than attempting to combat | illusion. Thus when you see others gossiping, you are called to see |
D:Day8.13 | are called to see only the truth of who they are—to see beyond the | illusion, what would seem to be the “fact” of their gossip—to the |
D:Day8.17 | so late in our time together. To accept the feelings of the self of | illusion would have been to accept the feelings generated by the fear |
D:Day8.18 | You will think that you know the real from the unreal, truth from | illusion, and so will disregard the feelings of others as if they do |
D:Day8.19 | seem confusing? To be called to see only the truth, to see beyond | illusion, and then to be told to accept the feelings of others? It |
D:Day8.19 | feelings of anyone—not those living in truth, or those living in | illusion—in disregard. This disregard is a temptation of those who |
D:Day9.1 | present. You have fled the foreign land, where freedom was merely an | illusion, and arrived at the Promised Land, the land of our |
D:Day9.14 | But this ideal image is as much a product of | illusion as have been all of your worldly goals. |
D:Day11.2 | with the world of union, even while it does not unite the world of | illusion with the world of truth. Sharing in unity and relationship |
D:Day11.2 | and relationship is the way and the means to see past the world of | illusion to the truth of the union of form and spirit, separate |
D:Day23.3 | coming metaphorically and literally out of the clouds, out of the | illusion, surrendering the mist that was all that separated one world |
D:Day23.4 | The clouds of | illusion, even those that have gently surrounded our time together on |

D:Day36.12 | without relationship to the power of creation. The illusion is an | illusion of simply being. Is this not how you have seen yourself? As |

Tx:18.22 | that you have made, at last, the choice between the truth and all | illusions. |
Tx:18.26 | made of it. You are advancing to love's meaning and away from all | illusions in which you have surrounded it. When you retreat to the |
Tx:18.52 | what the Son of God has made and using it to save him from | illusions. |
Tx:18.57 | God and His Son, nor can His Son be separated from himself except in | illusions. This is not his reality, though he believes it is. Yet |
Tx:18.88 | the whole foundation on which the world is based. Here are all the | illusions, all the twisted thoughts, all the insane attacks, the |
Tx:19.4 | overlook our earlier statement that faithlessness leads straight to | illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a |
Tx:19.4 | faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's purpose and brought | illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the body |

Tx:19.5 | that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to | illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. |

Tx:19.45 | the journey's end. For Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. No | illusions stand between you now. Look not upon the little wall of |
Tx:19.45 | the sun? No more can you be kept by shadows from the light in which | illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was |
Tx:19.45 | its ending. And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all | illusions end. |
Tx:19.64 | You have paid very dearly for your | illusions, and nothing you have paid for brought you peace. Are you |
Tx:19.67 | Forgive me your | illusions and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So |

Tx:20.11 | You have the vision now to look past all | illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers, and |
Tx:20.11 | The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon | illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your |
Tx:20.12 | And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision will be no | illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the home we |
Tx:20.13 | laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be to you the savior from | illusions, and look on him with the new vision that looks upon the |
Tx:20.14 | them and beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from | illusions has come to greet you and lead you home with him. |

Tx:20.63 | He can but be imagined in the darkness, and it is here that the | illusions you hold about him are not held up to his reality. Here are |
Tx:20.63 | you hold about him are not held up to his reality. Here are | illusions and reality kept separated. Here are illusions never |
Tx:20.63 | his reality. Here are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are | illusions never brought to truth and always hidden from it. And here |
Tx:20.69 | joy. And place no value on your brother's body, which holds him to | illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his sinlessness, |
Tx:21.32 | them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and away from all | illusions where your faith was laid. This is His direction, the only |
Tx:21.33 | is not a lack of faith, but faith in nothing. Faith given to | illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of God believe |
Tx:21.33 | Thus is he faithless to himself, but strong in faith in his | illusions about himself. For faith, perception, and belief you |
Tx:21.89 | whose will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your | illusions, think carefully why it should be you have not yet decided |
Tx:22.14 | instantly to show you where your Self must be. It is denial of | illusions that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize |
Tx:22.14 | be. It is denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to deny | illusions is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the holy |
Tx:22.16 | The opposite of | illusions is not disillusionment, but truth. Only to the ego, to |
Tx:22.16 | nothingness. Yet in these dark and heavy garments are those who seek | illusions covered and hidden from the joy of truth. |
Tx:22.17 | Truth is the opposite of | illusions because it offers joy. What else but joy could be the |
Tx:22.17 | one kind of misery and seek another is hardly an escape. To change | illusions is to make no change. The search for joy in misery is |
Tx:22.18 | Illusions carry only guilt and suffering, sickness and death to their | |
Tx:22.18 | can change with time. Yet if the change be real and not imagined, | illusions must give way to truth and not to other dreams that are but |
Tx:22.19 | defended against the truth makes all truth meaningless and all | illusions real. Such is the power of belief. It cannot compromise. |
Tx:22.23 | There is no part of Heaven you can take and weave into | illusions. Nor is there one illusion you can enter Heaven with. A |
Tx:22.25 | learn it is not true? Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the | illusions that you made replaced the truth? |
Tx:22.33 | it. Theirs is indeed a strange perception, for they can see only | illusions, unable to look beyond the granite block of sin and |
Tx:22.35 | what is not there must be distorted perception and must perceive | illusions as the truth. Could it then recognize the truth? |
Tx:22.43 | opens the way to truth to more than you. Those who would let | illusions be lifted from their minds are this world's saviors, |
Tx:22.45 | How does one overcome | illusions? Surely not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any |
Tx:22.45 | nothing. What merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only | illusions need defense because of weakness. And how can it be |
Tx:22.47 | Here can no weakness enter, for here is no attack and therefore no | illusions. Love rests in certainty. Only uncertainty can be |
Tx:22.49 | between you and your awareness of your union! Be not deceived by the | illusions it presents of size and thickness, weight, solidity, and |
Tx:22.49 | immovable as is a mountain. Yet within you there is a Force which no | illusions can resist. This body only seems to be immovable; this |
Tx:22.50 | that you are weak because you are alone. This is the cost of all | illusions. Not one but rests on the belief that you are separate. Not |
Tx:22.52 | of the body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to serve | illusions. This is a situation so contradictory and so impossible |
Tx:23.9 | ego joins with an illusion of yourself you share with it. And yet | illusions cannot join. They are the same, and they are nothing. Their |
Tx:23.12 | The war against yourself is but the battle of two | illusions, struggling to make them different from each other in the |
Tx:23.12 | Madness holds out no menace to reality and has no influence upon it. | Illusions cannot triumph over truth, nor can they threaten it in |
Tx:23.13 | For you must be as God created you. Truth does not fight against | illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle |
Tx:23.13 | as God created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do | illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with |
Tx:23.13 | fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth. | Illusions battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they |
Tx:23.13 | illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two | illusions is a state where nothing happens. There is no victor, and |
Tx:23.14 | attack that is not part of you. And by attacking it, you make two | illusions of yourself in conflict with each other. And this occurs |
Tx:23.15 | See how the conflict of | illusions disappears when it is brought to truth! For it seems real |
Tx:23.15 | made an illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice between | illusions, one to be crowned as real, the other vanquished and |
Tx:23.15 | because it is His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no | illusions, being as true and holy as Himself. |
Tx:23.16 | where God has set him in serenity and peace and dwells with him. | Illusions have no place where love abides, protecting you from |
Tx:23.17 | Holy One becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except | illusions. Illusions can conflict because their forms are different. |
Tx:23.17 | becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions. | Illusions can conflict because their forms are different. And they do |
Tx:23.18 | Illusion meets illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of | illusions leads to war. Peace, looking on itself, extends itself. War |
Tx:23.20 | This principle evolves from the belief there is a hierarchy of | illusions; some are more valuable and therefore true. Each one |
Tx:23.21 | principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees of truth among | illusions, making it appear that some of them are harder to overcome |
Tx:23.32 | now. Such a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity, | illusions true, attack a kindness, hatred love and murder |
Tx:23.37 | in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of | illusions stands; senseless, impossible, and beyond all reason, and |
Tx:23.37 | all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven. | Illusions are but forms. Their content is never true. |
Tx:23.38 | The laws of chaos govern all | illusions. Their forms conflict, making it seem quite possible to |
Tx:23.38 | no less certain in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is | illusions will bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not |
Tx:24.1 | back the Will that holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon | illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And |
Tx:24.7 | the body dear and worth preserving. Specialness must be defended. | Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your brother must |
Tx:24.9 | your relationship? And is not this the “enemy” that makes you both | illusions to each other? |
Tx:24.11 | Those who are special must defend | illusions against the truth. For what is specialness but an attack |
Tx:24.13 | of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which | illusions of yourself are dearer than the truth. |
Tx:24.20 | in hate to kill each other and deny they are the same. Yet it is not | illusions which have reached this final obstacle that seems to make |
Tx:24.20 | so real and so encompassing that nothing stands outside. Leave all | illusions of yourself outside this place to which you come in hope |
Tx:24.23 | clings to murder as safety's weapon and the great defender of all | illusions from the “threat” of love. |
Tx:24.24 | from all your brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity upon | illusions, safe from God, and safe for conflict everlasting. Here are |
Tx:24.26 | Forgiveness is the end of specialness. Only | illusions can be forgiven, and then they disappear. Forgiveness is |
Tx:24.26 | forgiven, and then they disappear. Forgiveness is release from all | illusions, and that is why it is impossible but partly to forgive. No |
Tx:24.28 | upsets your world and hurls it into chaos. Truth is not frail. | Illusions leave it perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But |
Tx:24.30 | the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack upon | illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for all |
Tx:24.30 | upon illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for all | illusions to be brought to them and left behind. Salvation challenges |
Tx:24.31 | of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your | illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell you chose to be your |
Tx:24.37 | does “endanger” specialness, but only in the sense that all | illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not stand before |
Tx:24.40 | real, as surely as does will create. The power of a wish upholds | illusions as strongly as does love extend itself, except that one |
Tx:24.44 | only Christ can lend you His while you have need of them. They are | illusions too, as much as yours. And yet, because they serve a |
Tx:25.10 | in which it thinks it is. And It must use all learning to transfer | illusions to the truth, taking all false ideas of what you are and |
Tx:25.25 | perfect battleground to wage its wars, the perfect shelter for the | illusions which it would make real. Not one but it upholds in its |
Tx:25.78 | kept in place. You mean that truth has greater value now than all | illusions. And you recognize that truth must be revealed to you |
Tx:26.19 | are brought together—where conflicting values meet and all | illusions are laid down beside the truth where they are judged to be |
Tx:26.24 | of purpose in what once was specialness and now is union? All | illusions are but one. And in the recognition this is so lies the |
Tx:26.39 | And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. No past | illusions have the power to keep you in a place of death, a vault |
Tx:26.44 | and through its perceived reality has entered all the world of sick | illusions. All belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, |
Tx:26.44 | and find the safety that the truth alone can give? Who can believe | illusions are the same and still maintain that even one is best? |
Tx:26.48 | request is granted—not in truth but in the world of shadows and | illusions built on sin. The Son of God perceives what he would see, |
Tx:26.51 | although this clearly makes no sense at all. All that a hierarchy of | illusions can show is preference, not reality. What relevance has |
Tx:26.51 | preference, not reality. What relevance has preference to the truth? | Illusions are illusions and are false. Your preference gives them no |
Tx:26.51 | reality. What relevance has preference to the truth? Illusions are | illusions and are false. Your preference gives them no reality. Not |
Tx:26.53 | where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense to make it true. | Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who looks on them is but |
Tx:26.60 | it is not. And to believe ideas can leave their source is to invite | illusions to be true, without success. For never will success be |
Tx:26.62 | Illusions serve the purpose they were made to serve. And from their | |
Tx:26.62 | they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have. God gave to all | illusions that were made another purpose that would justify a |
Tx:27.6 | Your healing is his comfort and his health because it proves | illusions are not true. |
Tx:27.39 | The world asks but one question. It is this: “Of these | illusions, which of them are true? Which ones establish peace and |
Tx:27.68 | Nor did you in any way request them for yourself. This is how all | illusions come about. The one who makes them does not see himself as |
Tx:27.72 | your reality. The little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of | illusions and of fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the |
Tx:27.75 | about instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his | illusions and give thanks to him for all the helpfulness he gave. And |
Tx:28.1 | has truly gone has no effects. Remembering a cause can but produce | illusions of its presence, not effects. |
Tx:28.15 | the place of loss? What better way to close the little gap between | illusions and reality than to allow the memory of God to flow across |
Tx:28.21 | dreamer of a dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He sees | illusions of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without |
Tx:28.22 | that its content is not true. This is a crucial step in dealing with | illusions. No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them |
Tx:28.30 | bridge the little gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming with | illusions, for it is His coming that you want above all things that |
Tx:28.37 | It means that you share not his wish to separate and let him turn | illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned instead on |
Tx:28.37 | 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 anything, |
Tx:28.39 | depends on his reality. Think rather of him as a mind in which | illusions still persist, but as a mind which brother is to you. He is |
Tx:28.40 | dreams of fear. Let him acknowledge who he is by not supporting his | illusions by your faith, for if you do, you will have faith in |
Tx:28.40 | And dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by | illusions which you have supported in each other's minds. |
Tx:28.46 | on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your willingness to let | illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will place |
Tx:28.50 | You have conceived a little gap between | illusions and the truth to be the place where all your safety lies |
Tx:28.52 | There is no gap which separates the truth from dreams and from | illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any place or time. For |
Tx:29.22 | overlook your brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his | illusions, he becomes your savior from your dreams. And as you see |
Tx:29.23 | to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your | illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto you. Make way for |
Tx:29.25 | Do you believe that truth can be but some | illusions? They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal |
Tx:30.49 | and thus you will not see you made it up. You always fight | illusions. For the truth behind them is so lovely and so still in |
Tx:30.52 | the rules you set. It is His laws which guarantee your safety. All | illusions that you believe about yourself obey no laws. They seem |
Tx:30.53 | you prove that you have been deceived. Attack has power to make | illusions real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could be made |
Tx:30.53 | His one mistake is that he thinks them real. What can the power of | illusions do? |
Tx:30.56 | little, not so much. It asks for nothing in reality. And even in | illusions it but asks forgiveness be the substitute for fear. Such is |
Tx:30.56 | him no single thing that he could ever want. He is delivered from | illusions by his will and but restored to what he is. What could |
Tx:30.74 | as merited will heal. It gives the miracle its strength to overlook | illusions. This is how you learn that you must be forgiven too. There |
Tx:30.80 | acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by your wish to make | illusions real. And what is this except a simple statement of the |
Tx:30.91 | What is temptation but a wish to make | illusions real? It does not seem to be the wish that no reality be |
Tx:31.33 | keep. Why should this be? Because it is a place where choice among | illusions seems to be the only choice. And you are in control of |
Tx:31.43 | fits it well. For this an image is that suits a world of shadows and | illusions. Here it walks at home, where what it sees is one with it. |
W1:8.2 | it is not here. To think about it at all is therefore to think about | illusions. Very few minds have realized what is actually entailed in |
W1:13.3 | not possess and crowd it with images that do not exist. To the ego, | illusions are safety devices, as they must also be to you who equate |
W1:14.7 | These things are part of the world you see. Some of them are shared | illusions, and others are part of your personal hell. It does not |
W1:15.1 | is image-making. It takes the place of seeing, replacing vision with | illusions. |
W1:16.2 | truth or to illusion; either it extends the truth or it multiplies | illusions. You can indeed multiply nothing, but you will not extend |
W1:35.5 | that the direction of your fantasies about yourself does not matter. | Illusions have no direction in reality. They are merely not true. |
W1:46.1 | the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of | illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from |
W1:46.1 | of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from | illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding |
W1:46.2 | forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which | illusions disappear. |
W1:48.1 | today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in | illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is nothing to |
W1:48.1 | a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in illusions, but | illusions are not facts. In truth there is nothing to fear. It is |
W1:48.1 | this. But it is very difficult to recognize for those who want | illusions to be true. |
W1:50.3 | Put not your faith in | illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God |
W1:52.2 | When I am upset, it is always because I have replaced reality with | illusions which I made up. The illusions are upsetting because I have |
W1:52.2 | because I have replaced reality with illusions which I made up. The | illusions are upsetting because I have given them reality and thus |
W1:55.5 | are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of | illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to find |
W1:55.6 | is for. To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my | illusions about myself are real. It is for that purpose that I |
W1:57.6 | shines forgiveness back at me. In this light, I begin to see what my | illusions about myself had kept hidden. I begin to understand the |
W1:58.4 | in its power to save. What is there to be saved from except | illusions? And what are all illusions except false ideas about |
W1:58.4 | What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are all | illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them |
W1:59.2 | suffer when love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish | illusions about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me |
W1:59.4 | me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His Will lie only | illusions. It is these I choose when I think I can see apart from |
W1:61.4 | idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect answer to all | illusions and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images |
W1:62.2 | Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all | |
W1:64.2 | Yet we have learned that the Holy Spirit has another use for all the | illusions you have made, and therefore He sees another purpose in |
W1:64.4 | forgiveness, because through it does the Son of God escape from all | illusions and thus from all temptation. The Son of God is you. Only |
W1:65.10 | exact words, but try to get a sense of being willing to have your | illusions of purpose be replaced by truth. |
W1:66.9 | two parts of your mind. One is ruled by the ego and is made up of | illusions. The other is the home of the Holy Spirit, where truth |
W1:66.13 | as the same and the different as different. On one side stand all | illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us try today to realize |
W1:68.3 | your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves | illusions in its sleep appears to be awake. Can all this arise from |
W1:70.13 | Since all | illusions of salvation have failed you, surely you do not want to |
W1:72.5 | He is a liar and a deceiver, full of false promises and offering | illusions in place of truth. |
W1:73.1 | Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make a world of | illusions in which your belief can be very strong. But they are idle |
W1:73.6 | so. You cannot want this for yourself. There is a point beyond which | illusions cannot go. |
W1:74.2 | it. The idea itself is wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to | illusions. Without illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us try to |
W1:74.2 | is wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without | illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us try to recognize this today |
W1:77.2 | Your claim to miracles does not lie in your | illusions about yourself. It does not depend on any magical powers |
W1:R2.4 | the truth, and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, | illusions, and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to salvation. Be |
W1:89.2 | would accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but | illusions that hide the miracles beyond. Now I would accept only what |
W1:89.5 | from hell. By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my | illusions be replaced with truth according to God's plan for my |
W1:95.11 | be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend | illusions against the truth. Let all these errors go by recognizing |
W1:95.18 | Feel this One Self in you, and let it shine away all your | illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, |
W1:95.18 | it is given you to feel this Self within you and to cast all your | illusions out of the One Mind which is this Self, the holy truth in |
W1:96.7 | What purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot make | illusions real and solve a problem that does not exist. Perhaps you |
W1:96.14 | denied, and let your mind go wandering in a world of dreams, to find | illusions in their place. Here are your thoughts, the only ones you |
W1:97.1 | can enter, for your mind has been absolved from madness, letting go | illusions of a split identity. |
W1:98.1 | We take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let | illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two but take a firm |
W1:99.2 | Truth and | illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible |
W1:99.2 | reflects the truth because it is the means by which you can escape | illusions. Yet it is not truth because it undoes what was never done. |
W1:99.3 | within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees | illusions thinks them real. They have existence in that they are |
W1:99.4 | What plan could hold the truth inviolate, yet recognize the need | illusions bring and offer means by which they are undone without |
W1:99.6 | This is the thought which brings | illusions to the truth, and sees them as appearances behind which is |
W1:104.6 | of the world that offer other gifts and other goals made of | illusions, witnessed to by them, and sought for only in a world of |
W1:107.1 | What can correct | illusions but the truth? And what are errors but illusions that |
W1:107.1 | What can correct illusions but the truth? And what are errors but | illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are? Where truth has |
W1:107.2 | Can you imagine what a state of mind without | illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a |
W1:107.4 | Without | illusions there could be no fear, no doubt, and no attack. When truth |
W1:107.6 | for the truth needs no defense, and therefore no attack is possible. | Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth |
W1:107.6 | be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth stands far beyond | illusions and cannot be brought to them to turn them into truth. |

W1:125.5 | have wandered off a little while from Him. He does not cherish the | illusions which you hold about yourself. He knows His Son and wills |
W1:125.9 | of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with no | illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and true. |
W1:130.8 | beyond your own, and recognize what it is you seek. You do not want | illusions. And you come to these five minutes emptying your hands of |
W1:132.1 | Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and | illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman |
W1:132.13 | real creations wait for this release to give you fatherhood, not of | illusions, but as God in truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you |
W1:132.14 | a world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny | illusions, but accept the truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid |
W1:132.15 | He created us would loose the world this day from every one of our | illusions that we may be free. |
W1:134.2 | be limited to what is false. It is irrelevant to everything except | illusions. Truth is God's creation, and to pardon this is |
W1:134.3 | part is that you still believe you must forgive the truth and not | illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to look past what |
W1:134.6 | it; a quiet blessing where it is received. It does not countenance | illusions but collects them lightly with a little laugh and gently |
W1:134.7 | Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the | illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness and looks right |
W1:134.8 | of pardon is its honesty, which is so uncorrupted that it sees | illusions as illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that it |
W1:134.8 | is its honesty, which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as | illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that it becomes the |
W1:134.10 | is innocence the only thing there is. Forgiveness stands between | illusions and the truth, between the world you see and that which |
W1:135.1 | can save himself? And herein lies the folly of defense—it gives | illusions full reality and then attempts to handle them as real. It |
W1:135.1 | full reality and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds | illusions to illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult. |
W1:135.1 | and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds illusions to | illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult. |
W1:136.6 | without regard to all their true relationships, and thus constructs | illusions of a whole which is not there. It is this process which |
W1:136.11 | quails before such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your | illusions, truth turned into lies, and all the universe made slave to |
W1:136.11 | to laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who believes | illusions but the one who made them up? Who else can see them and |
W1:136.15 | Truth has a power far beyond defense, for no | illusions can remain where it has been allowed to enter. And it comes |
W1:137.4 | will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to | illusions must be shown that what they look upon is false. So |
W1:137.5 | overlooks all sins that never were accomplished, healing but removes | illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real world will arise |
W1:137.11 | can remain to rest. For here is truth bestowed, and here are all | illusions brought to truth. |
W1:138.2 | with fear, for this would be the error truth can be brought to | illusions. Opposition makes the truth unwelcome, and it cannot come. |
W1:140.7 | provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that brings | illusions to the truth is really changed. There is no change but |
W1:140.8 | our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all | illusions, not another shift among them. We will try today to find |
W1:140.10 | Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth where all | illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet home of God. |
W1:R4.5 | of true forgiveness may be carefully concealed. Because they are | illusions, they are not perceived to be but what they are—defenses |
W1:151.10 | in this world. His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between | illusions and the truth. He will remove all faith that you have |
W1:151.17 | at last, to carry round the world the joyous news that truth has no | illusions and the peace of God, through us, belongs to everyone. |
W1:152.15 | the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for your | illusions of yourself. |
W1:153.5 | Son of God as but a victim to attack by fantasies, by dreams, and by | illusions he has made; yet helpless he is in their presence, needful |
W1:153.5 | needful only of defense by still more fantasies and dreams by which | illusions of his safety comfort him. |
W1:153.7 | you believe you see at work in all the evils of the world? What but | illusions could defend you now, when it is but illusions which you |
W1:153.7 | the world? What but illusions could defend you now, when it is but | illusions which you fight? |
W1:155.2 | who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be | illusions and avoid their own reality. Yet when they find their own |
W1:155.8 | can but seem to hold in chains the holy Son of God. It is but from | illusions he is saved. As they step back, he finds himself again. |
W1:155.9 | may find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of truth and let | illusions be your guide. Your holy brothers have been given you to |
W1:155.10 | there will be no gap, no distance between truth and you. And all | illusions walking in the way you traveled will be gone from you as |
W1:162.1 | disappears, and all things seen within its misty clouds and vaporous | illusions vanish as these words are spoken. For they come from God. |
W1:163.2 | of fear, the host of sin, god of the guilty, and the lord of all | illusions and deceptions, does the thought of death seem mighty. For |
W1:R5.12 | to claim the world. And we remind the world that it is free of all | illusions every time we say, |
W1:182.11 | and yet He asks unceasingly that you return with Him and take | illusions as your gods no more. |
W1:183.3 | Repeat God's Name and all the world responds by laying down | illusions. Every dream the world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and |
W1:184.8 | Think not you made the world. | Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond your |
W1:185.4 | merely bargain. And what bargain can give them the peace of God? | Illusions come to take His place. And what He means is lost to |
W1:185.5 | is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these words who wants | illusions and who therefore seeks the means which bring illusions. He |
W1:185.5 | who wants illusions and who therefore seeks the means which bring | illusions. He has looked on them and found them wanting. Now he seeks |
W1:185.7 | where all the rest have failed. To mean these words acknowledges | illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in the place of |
W1:185.8 | you and bring you happiness. But be you not dismayed by lingering | illusions, for their form is not what matters now. Let not some |
W1:186.8 | our peace. We will accept the function God has given us, for all | illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for |
W1:187.7 | Illusions recognized must disappear. Accept not suffering, and you | |

W1:190.11 | we make the only choice that ever can be made—we choose between | illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our |

W2:WIW.3 | which the world was made to witness and make real. They see in its | illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from |
W2:250.2 | my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my | illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him, so I see myself. Today |

Tx:6.26 | you must have attacked yourself first out of awareness and thus | imagine that you have made yourself safe. |

Tx:17.7 | Can you | imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no |
Tx:20.58 | be. This course requires almost nothing of you. It is impossible to | imagine one that asks so little or could offer more. |
Tx:21.4 | attempt to judge what could be seen instead. It is not necessary to | imagine what the world must look like. It must be seen before you |
Tx:21.10 | it everything is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it possible to | imagine that anything could be outside, for there is nowhere that |
Tx:21.30 | idea of making room for truth. The source of sin is gone. You may | imagine that you still experience its effects, but it is not your |
Tx:21.86 | a condition quite alien to your understanding. Yet if you could even | imagine what it must be, you would desire it although you understand |
Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible even to | imagine without this base. For sin arose from it out of nothingness; |
Tx:29.30 | function is obscure to you. Do not ascribe a role to him which you | imagine would bring happiness to you. And do not try to hurt him when |
W1:10.6 | of any kind. In fact, if you find it helpful to do so, you might | imagine that you are watching an oddly assorted procession going by, |
W1:60.4 | look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I | imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me |

W1:167.10 | of the truth and not deny our holy heritage. Our life is not as we | imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his eyes or makes |
W1:170.2 | can save you more delay and needless misery than you can possibly | imagine. It is this: |
W2:277.1 | Your Son is free, my Father. Let me not | imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to rule the body. He is |
W2:328.2 | There is no will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I | imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your will that I |

C:P.7 | It is easy to | imagine how the Christ in you differs from your ego but not as easy |
C:3.2 | learn is already accomplished. It is accomplished in you. It is you. | Imagine the ocean or the cheetah, the sun or the moon or God Himself, |
C:3.4 | and everyone around you, those you see and those you only can | imagine. To seek the “face” of God, even in the form of Christ, is to |
C:4.12 | whose love is blind and self-sacrificing. Still others of you might | imagine a couple long married in which each person is devoted to the |
C:6.20 | of the body, without the limits placed upon those who remain? You | imagine them still in bodily form, perhaps, yet you imagine them |
C:6.20 | who remain? You imagine them still in bodily form, perhaps, yet you | imagine them happy and at peace. Even those who claim not to believe |
C:9.3 | there be to protect? Thus, all of your love—the love that you | imagine you keep within yourself, and the love that you imagine you |
C:9.3 | that you imagine you keep within yourself, and the love that you | imagine you receive and give—is tainted by your fear and cannot be |
C:9.21 | have identified as living the life of fear you deny yourself. And | imagine that you could bring this one in from that dark and dangerous |
C:9.28 | implausible as to be beyond your acceptance? Is it so impossible to | imagine that what God created was distorted by your desire to have |
C:9.34 | and the world, restoring it to a previous condition that you | imagine you know. In this scenario God is like unto your banker |
C:12.17 | not splinter off and become something on their own apart from you. | Imagine this occurring and you will see how senseless this situation |
C:14.16 | must be some reason for your existence—although you cannot quite | imagine what that reason might be. You must be meant to be because |
C:14.31 | All that is lost is specialness. This is the view of life you cannot | imagine bringing about, or bringing joy in its coming. But this is |
C:14.31 | or bringing joy in its coming. But this is what you must begin to | imagine if you desire to accept love's coming instead of to reject it |
C:18.2 | Imagine that you are part of a chain of bodies holding hands and | |
C:18.3 | Now | imagine further that this chain is keeping the Earth in its orbit. It |
C:18.5 | This chain I have described helps you to | imagine the place I hold for you, as you held mine when I entered the |
C:18.8 | world where you exist in wholeness, a link in the chain of creation. | Imagine again this chain and your Self among those who comprise it, |
C:18.8 | again this chain and your Self among those who comprise it, and | imagine the life that you experience now taking place much like that |
C:18.9 | separation would teach you. When you resided in unity, you could not | imagine what this world would be like any more than you can now |
C:18.9 | not imagine what this world would be like any more than you can now | imagine what a united world will be like. You did not understand, |
C:20.14 | this or you would not be here. Yet you think not of me living and | imagine it not. Christ reigns in the kingdom in which I live just as |
C:20.15 | Imagine a body in a cave, a cave in the earth, the earth in the | |
C:20.21 | universal heartbeat and exist within the embrace. Is not all you can | imagine holy when you imagine with love? Is not all you cannot |
C:20.21 | exist within the embrace. Is not all you can imagine holy when you | imagine with love? Is not all you cannot imagine holier still? |
C:20.21 | can imagine holy when you imagine with love? Is not all you cannot | imagine holier still? |
C:20.35 | You have not before now been able to even | imagine knowing what you do. You hope to have moments of clarity |
C:20.38 | Hope is a manner of acting as if the best possible outcome you can | imagine could truly occur. Hope is a willingness to accept love and |
C:21.7 | not get where you are wanting to go until they are joined. You might | imagine three paths—one path representing mind, one path |
C:22.1 | now, and you may, at first, be resistant to this instruction. To | imagine is too often associated with daydreaming, fiction, or |
C:22.3 | through a circle and the circle revolves around the line, or axis. | Imagine a globe spinning around its axis. You know that the globe is |
C:22.12 | sits, and that which you consider beyond meaning sits. You might | imagine yourself as the creator of an unfinished dictionary, and all |
C:22.16 | Imagine yourself brought to such a halt and examined apart from | |
C:22.20 | Begin to | imagine life passing through you rather than getting stopped for |
C:22.20 | stopped for examination at its intersection with you. Begin to | imagine seeing the world without the emphasis on your personal self. |
C:23.9 | Yet reunion too is relationship, because union is relationship. | Imagine a crowd of people in a small room. This is not relationship. |
C:23.9 | having to do with physical proximity, think of this example. Now | imagine communities of faith. Around the world, people are united in |
C:23.17 | difficult to believe that what is possible depends upon what you can | imagine being possible. You must cease to see the difficulty and |
C:23.17 | see the difficulty and begin to see the ease with which what you can | imagine becomes reality. |
C:23.18 | serve you, because they were created to serve you. The ability to | imagine is such a capability, freely and equally given to all. |
C:27.10 | can you be other than relationship itself? Can God? Can you | imagine relationship rather than singular objects and bodies, as all |
C:29.10 | the world as your Father's work is his service to you. As you cannot | imagine God toiling, so you should cease to imagine your Self doing |
C:29.10 | to you. As you cannot imagine God toiling, so you should cease to | imagine your Self doing thus. |
T1:1.11 | You can already | imagine what an extensive change this will bring, and, as you are |
T1:10.1 | to this peace. It is so foreign to each of you that you can't quite | imagine that it is what you are supposed to be feeling. There is a |

T3:2.11 | abides with it in holiness that is beyond your current ability to | imagine. It is impossible for you to imagine this holiness with the |

T3:2.11 | a reality within certain parameters, for it has not allowed you to | imagine being able to take steps “back” to the God you believe you |
T3:8.8 | need not change the world but only your own self. How difficult to | imagine that this one change could bring about all the changes you |
T3:8.8 | that this one change could bring about all the changes you would | imagine that even an army of angels could not bring about. While such |

T3:14.5 | less about the life you lead that you would change than you would | imagine. You fear where all your new ideas might take you, and for |

T3:20.7 | can't imagine not feeling “bad” given such circumstances. You cannot | imagine not offering sympathy. You think it naïve to believe in |

T4:10.2 | This is hard for you to | imagine because as you consider your willingness to give up learning |

D:7.26 | In order to facilitate your understanding, I call you now to | imagine your body as a dot in the center of a circle and the circle |

D:7.27 | All of Everything, and it will, in fact, be helpful as we begin, to | imagine on a smaller scale. |
D:8.1 | Continuing to | imagine your body as the dot within the circle, I ask you to imagine |
D:8.1 | to imagine 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 |
D:8.1 | to you as possible, because here is where all that you can | imagine can become your new reality. |
D:8.2 | Imagine this first as a place where no learning is needed. Ah, you | |

D:8.5 | earned nor worked hard to attain. To imagine this as an idea is to | imagine this “given” Self as the Self that exists beyond the boundary |

Tx:15.86 | at all the interference and seeing it exactly as it is. For it is | impossible to recognize as wholly without gratification what you |
Tx:15.86 | more than attempts to limit communication and thereby to make it | impossible. For communication must be unlimited in order to have |
Tx:15.88 | It is | impossible to divide your strength between Heaven and hell, God and |
Tx:15.89 | and quiet in such sure and loving relationships that any limit is | impossible. Would you not exchange your little relationships for |
Tx:15.106 | you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not love. It is | impossible to deny what love is and still recognize it. The meaning |
Tx:16.11 | Therefore, your understanding cannot be necessary. Yet it is still | impossible to accomplish what you do not understand. And so there |
Tx:16.12 | show you instantly that order of difficulty in miracles is quite | impossible, for it involves a contradiction of what miracles mean. |
Tx:16.13 | it and you to use His understanding on your behalf. It is | impossible to convince you of the reality of what has clearly been |
Tx:16.23 | also show you that you do not regard yourself as one? For it is | impossible to teach successfully wholly without conviction, and it |
Tx:16.23 | to teach successfully wholly without conviction, and it is equally | impossible that conviction be outside of you. You could never have |
Tx:16.30 | hate relationship, for freedom lies in looking at it. It would be | impossible not to know the meaning of love except for this. For the |
Tx:16.36 | love's condition, the special love relationship would accomplish the | impossible. How but in illusion could this be done? It is essential |
Tx:16.58 | that God is on the other side and nothing at all is here. It is | impossible not to make the natural decision as this is realized. |
Tx:16.59 | has no meaning except as its Creator defined it by His Will. It is | impossible to define it otherwise and understand it. |
Tx:16.70 | It is | impossible to let the past go without relinquishing the special |
Tx:16.77 | Will to give. He gave the holy instant to be given you, and it is | impossible that you receive it not, because He gave it. When He |
Tx:16.80 | all problems, be they perceived as great or small, possible or | impossible. There is nothing that will not give place to Him and to |
Tx:17.1 | God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been really done. It is | impossible to convince the dreamer that this is so, for dreams are |
Tx:17.18 | Once it is formed, doubt must enter in because its purpose is | impossible. The only such relationships which retain the fantasies |
Tx:17.28 | In this world it is | impossible to create, yet it is possible to make happy. We have |
Tx:17.54 | each other, for the attack must blind you to yourself. And it is | impossible to deny yourself and recognize what has been given and |
Tx:17.59 | outcome set in advance makes understanding doubtful and evaluation | impossible. |
Tx:17.65 | is no shift in any aspect of the problem but will make solution | impossible. For if you shift part of the problem elsewhere, the |
Tx:17.65 | are judged to be in conflict. But if the goal is truth, this is | impossible. Some idea of bodies must have entered, for minds cannot |
Tx:18.3 | The one emotion in which substitution is | impossible is love. Fear involves substitution by definition, for it |
Tx:18.4 | subdivided and divided again, over and over, that it is now almost | impossible to perceive it once was one and still is what it was. That |
Tx:18.26 | walks beside you on this way which you have chosen, fear would be | impossible. You do not know because the journey into darkness has |
Tx:18.35 | in thinking that it is needful to prepare yourself for Him. It is | impossible to make arrogant preparations for holiness and not |
Tx:18.40 | your decision to make everything that is natural and easy for you | impossible. What you believe to be impossible will be if God so |
Tx:18.40 | is natural and easy for you impossible. What you believe to be | impossible will be if God so wills it, but you will remain quite |
Tx:18.44 | it otherwise.” The alignment of means and purpose is an undertaking | impossible for you to understand. You do not even realize you have |
Tx:18.46 | The power of joining and its blessing lie in the fact that it is now | impossible for either of you to experience fear alone or to attempt |
Tx:18.46 | believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet just as this is | impossible, so is it equally impossible that the holy instant come to |
Tx:18.46 | or even possible. Yet just as this is impossible, so is it equally | impossible that the holy instant come to either of you without the |
Tx:18.66 | It is | impossible to accept the holy instant without reservation unless just |
Tx:19.4 | you have established a condition in which uniting with him becomes | impossible. Your faithlessness to him has separated you from him and |
Tx:19.5 | dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is | impossible. Truth is the absence of illusion; illusion the |
Tx:19.6 | same place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set up a goal forever | impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the body, |
Tx:19.22 | for judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to truth. It is | impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness. Yet it |
Tx:19.23 | its reality; this is the “truth” from which escape will always be | impossible. This is his past, his present, and his future. For he has |
Tx:19.31 | is extension, the Creator must have extended Himself, and it is | impossible that what is part of Him is totally unlike the rest. If |
Tx:19.33 | holy relationship has as its purpose now the goal of proving this is | impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and the belief in sin has been |
Tx:19.38 | the gift of holiness, without which it would have been forever | impossible to appreciate each other. |
Tx:19.71 | It is | impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not find pain. |
Tx:19.75 | Hear not its madness, and believe not the | impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the body to |
Tx:19.79 | This is not arrogance. It is the Will of God. What is | impossible to you who chose His Will as yours? What is death to you? |
Tx:20.26 | on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any separation between us become | impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made free in |
Tx:20.35 | must be done before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems | impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is possible that God would |
Tx:20.39 | It is | impossible to overestimate your brother's value. Only the ego does |
Tx:20.44 | He looks upon himself not as his Father knows him. And yet it is | impossible the confidence of God should be misplaced. |
Tx:20.58 | This need not be. This course requires almost nothing of you. It is | impossible to imagine one that asks so little or could offer more. |
Tx:20.60 | we look at them a little closer, remember that if you think they are | impossible, your wanting of the purpose has been shaken. For if a |
Tx:20.61 | It is | impossible to see your brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as |
Tx:20.61 | so what was always true is recognized. To see a sinless body is | impossible, for holiness is positive, and the body is merely neutral. |
Tx:21.17 | It is | impossible the Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. |
Tx:21.17 | the Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. It is | impossible that the happenings that come to him were not his choice. |
Tx:21.31 | that they can hold him and placing it in his freedom instead. It is | impossible to place equal faith in opposite directions. What faith |
Tx:21.33 | It is | impossible that the Son of God lack faith, but he can choose where he |
Tx:21.60 | no effect at all on what is yours? If minds are joined, this is | impossible. |
Tx:21.72 | have not joined each other. For had they done so, hatred would be | impossible. The army of the powerless must be disbanded in the |
Tx:21.73 | else. How treacherous does this enemy appear, who changes so it is | impossible even to recognize him! |
Tx:21.81 | But truth is constant and implies a state where vacillations are | impossible. You can desire a world you rule which rules you not, and |
Tx:22.6 | hard you tried to understand its messages. You did not realize it is | impossible to understand what fails entirely to reach you. |
Tx:22.20 | make of it is not the same. The ego will assure you now that it is | impossible for you to see no guilt in anyone. And if this vision is |
Tx:22.20 | Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can be | impossible, the means for its attainment are more than possible. |
Tx:22.21 | their use will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this must be | impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever |
Tx:22.26 | Only your thoughts have been | impossible. Salvation cannot be. It is impossible to look upon |
Tx:22.26 | your thoughts have been impossible. Salvation cannot be. It is | impossible to look upon your savior as your enemy and recognize him. |
Tx:22.37 | is attracted to him to perpetuate his sins. And so it must become | impossible for each to see himself as causing sin by his desire to |
Tx:22.47 | Him? It is your Father Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains | impossible to keep love out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended |
Tx:22.52 | to serve illusions. This is a situation so contradictory and so | impossible that anyone who chooses this has no idea of what is |
Tx:22.53 | using your bodies only to serve the sinless. And it will be | impossible for you to hate what serves what you would heal. |
Tx:22.65 | can also teach the power of love is there, which makes all fear | impossible? Do not attempt to keep a little of the ego with this |
Tx:23.7 | of peace, and what the warlike would remember is not love. War is | impossible unless belief in victory is cherished. Conflict within you |
Tx:23.9 | Be certain that it is | impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, will ever meet. You |
Tx:23.25 | 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 become |
Tx:23.25 | inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now salvation must remain | impossible because the savior has become the enemy. |
Tx:23.37 | equal in their inaccuracy and lack of meaning. Life not in Heaven is | impossible, and what is not in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of |
Tx:23.37 | Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of illusions stands; senseless, | impossible, and beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal |
Tx:23.43 | has been accepted, for compromise is the belief salvation is | impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little, love a little, |
Tx:23.44 | is attack. Yet it is certain the belief that salvation is | impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm assurance it has come. |
Tx:23.44 | 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 before |
Tx:23.54 | the same, eternally complete, and wholly shared. They know it is | impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. |
Tx:24.4 | never openly attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are | impossible. But an unrecognized belief is a decision to war in |
Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the idea of sin made real. Sin is | impossible even to imagine without this base. For sin arose from it |
Tx:24.26 | Forgiveness is release from all illusions, and that is why it is | impossible but partly to forgive. No one who clings to one illusion |
Tx:24.36 | is difficult to grasp as yet. To minds intent on specialness, it is | impossible. Yet to those who wish to heal and not attack, it is quite |
Tx:25.61 | for all insane beliefs can be corrected here. And sin must be | impossible if this is true. This is the rock on which salvation |
Tx:25.64 | called upon to do what one divided still against himself would find | impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be found in such a |
Tx:25.67 | just is to be fair and not be vengeful. Fairness and vengeance are | impossible, for each one contradicts the other and denies that it is |
Tx:25.67 | for each one contradicts the other and denies that it is real. It is | impossible for you to share the Holy Spirit's justice with a mind |
Tx:25.74 | love is justice prejudiced and weak. And love without justice is | impossible. For love is fair and cannot chasten without cause. What |
Tx:25.75 | witness to the power of love and justice if you understand it is | impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You need not |
Tx:25.80 | it and made it greater, harder to resolve, and more unfair. It is | impossible the Holy Spirit could see unfairness as a resolution. To |
Tx:25.81 | The sight of innocence makes punishment | impossible and justice sure. The Holy Spirit's perception leaves no |
Tx:26.21 | lies the difference between the worlds. In this one, choice is made | impossible. In the real world is choosing simplified. |
Tx:26.51 | It is | impossible that one illusion be less amenable to truth than are the |
Tx:26.57 | And this He guaranteed when He created him as everything. It is | impossible that anything be lost if what you have is what you |
Tx:26.69 | you still believe you are external to each other. This makes trust | impossible. And you cannot believe that trust would settle every |
Tx:27.37 | now. Yet it must also be that in your state of mind solution is | impossible. Therefore, God must have given you a way of reaching to |
Tx:27.90 | that both of you are innocent or guilty. The one thing that is | impossible is that you be unlike each other; that they both be |
Tx:28.18 | his cause and not allow himself to be his Father's Son. For this | impossible desire, he does not believe that he is Love's effect and |
Tx:29.1 | least and littlest gap would represent in His eternal love is quite | impossible. For it would mean His love could harbor just a hint of |
Tx:29.10 | on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so clearly marked it is | impossible to lose the way, seem thorny, rough, and far too difficult |
Tx:29.57 | and place and time are given form and shape the world where the | impossible has happened. Here the deathless come to die, the |
Tx:30.73 | keep the sense of sin alive. And recognizing God is just, it seems | impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the fear of God the sure |
Tx:30.86 | shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this become | impossible, for your agreement makes interpretation stabilize and |
Tx:31.1 | says is what was never true is not true now and never will be. The | impossible has not occurred and can have no effects. And that is all. |
Tx:31.39 | found. If this be difficult to understand, then is this course | impossible to learn. But only then. For otherwise, it is a simple |
Tx:31.66 | will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be | impossible. But concepts are not difficult to change. One vision, |
Tx:31.68 | lurk behind. This concept emphasizes treachery, and trust becomes | impossible. Nor could it change while you perceive the “bad” in you. |
W1:4.2 | sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks to sight and make seeing | impossible. You do not want either. |
W1:13.1 | specific as to the emotion aroused. Actually, a meaningless world is | impossible. Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does not |
W1:14.1 | idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless world is | impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And everything |
W1:16.3 | brings either peace or war, either love or fear. A neutral result is | impossible because a neutral thought is impossible. There is such a |
W1:16.3 | or fear. A neutral result is impossible because a neutral thought is | impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss fear thoughts as |
W1:45.4 | the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is | impossible. |
W1:47.8 | there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is | impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides. |
W1:52.2 | I see what is not there. Reality is never frightening. It is | impossible that it could upset me. Reality brings only perfect peace. |
W1:54.2 | [16] I have no neutral thoughts. Neutral thoughts are | impossible, because all thoughts have power. They will either make a |
W1:64.6 | you. Complexity of form does not imply complexity of content. It is | impossible that any decision on earth can have a content different |
W1:74.2 | it cannot give rise to illusions. Without illusions, conflict is | impossible. Let us try to recognize this today and experience the |
W1:79.5 | forms, and with such varied content that they confront you with an | impossible situation. Dismay and depression are inevitable as you |
W1:90.5 | will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will understand it is | impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved |
W1:91.4 | How can this be reversed? For you it is | impossible, but you are not alone in this. Your efforts, however |
W1:93.1 | rush to death by your own hand, living on after seeing this being | impossible. |
W1:95.1 | is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you | impossible. You do not accept this and you fail to realize it must be |
W1:99.1 | from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the thought of the | impossible which has occurred, resulting in a state of conflict now |
W1:99.2 | Truth and illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The | impossible becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation |
W1:105.2 | The truly given gift entails no loss. It is | impossible that one can gain because another loses. This implies a |
W1:107.7 | not hide. It stands in open light, in obvious accessibility. It is | impossible that anyone could seek it truly and would not succeed. |
W1:R3.1 | just as closely as you can. We understand, of course, that it may be | impossible for you to undertake what is suggested here as optimal |
W1:R3.2 | will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is | impossible at the appointed time. Nor is it necessary that you make |
W1:127.2 | that love can change. He does not see that changing love must be | impossible. And thus he thinks that he can love at times and hate at |
W1:129.3 | Is it a loss to find a world instead where losing is | impossible, where love endures forever, hate cannot exist, and |
W1:130.5 | them nor waste this day in seeking not what cannot be found. It is | impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek |
W1:130.9 | It is | impossible to see two worlds. Let me accept the strength God offers |
W1:130.13 | It is | impossible to see two worlds. I seek my freedom and deliverance, and |
W1:134.4 | think your sins are real, you look on pardon as deception. For it is | impossible to think of sin as true and not believe forgiveness is a |
W1:136.20 | You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has become | impossible. |
W1:137.3 | It is | impossible that anyone be healed alone. In sickness must he be apart |
W1:139.5 | of one who knows the answer. Were it part of you, certainty would be | impossible. |
W1:139.7 | again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is | impossible to doubt yourself and not to be aware of what you are. |
W1:140.8 | ourselves. It is as near to us as our own thoughts—so close it is | impossible to lose. We need but seek it, and it must be found. |
W1:145.2 | [130] It is | impossible to see two worlds. |
W1:155.7 | which lead nowhere, choices for defeat, and aims which will remain | impossible. All this steps back as truth comes forth in you to lead |
W1:156.1 | idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin | impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt, and being |
W1:160.6 | can find no home wherever he may look, for he has made return | impossible. His way is lost except a miracle will search him out and |
W1:163.6 | It is | impossible to worship death in any form and still select a few you |
W1:166.2 | will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He wills. | Impossible indeed, but every mind that looks upon the world and |
W1:168.2 | If you but knew the meaning of His Love, hope and despair would be | impossible, for hope would be forever satisfied; despair of any kind |
W1:186.11 | of them point to one goal, and one you can attain. Your plan may be | impossible, but God's can never fail because He is its Source. |
W1:186.12 | Do as His Voice directs. And if it asks a thing of you that seems | impossible, remember Who it is that asks and who would make denial. |
W1:192.5 | that it will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger becomes | impossible, and where is terror then? What fears could still assail |
W1:196.6 | is no hope. Until you see that this, at least, must be entirely | impossible, how could there be escape? The fear of God is real to |
W1:196.8 | From there we go ahead quite rapidly. For once you understand it is | impossible that you be hurt except by your own thoughts, the fear of |
W1:198.1 | Injury is | impossible. And yet illusion makes illusion. If you can condemn, you |
W1:198.2 | understands, for freedom is a part of knowledge. To condemn is thus | impossible in truth. What seems to be its influence and its effects |
W1:199.1 | Freedom must be | impossible as long as you perceive a body as yourself. The body is a |
W2:228.1 | Shall I deny His knowledge and believe in what His knowledge makes | impossible? Shall I accept as true what He proclaims as false? Or |
W2:240.1 | as you could never be and therefore look upon a world which is | impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It does not matter |
W2:249.1 | paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes | impossible, and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has |
W2:253.1 | It is | impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even |
W2:256.1 | dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains | impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God is our goal; |
W2:284.1 | Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is | impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of |
W2:284.2 | Father, what You have given cannot hurt, and grief and pain must be | impossible. Let me not fail to trust in You today, accepting but the |
W2:WIRW.1 | eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is | impossible and witnesses to fear cannot be found. |
W2:307.1 | must accept Your will for me and enter into peace where conflict is | impossible. Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and |
W2:312.1 | For vision merely serves to offer you what you would have. It is | impossible to overlook what you would see and fail to see what you |
W2:343.1 | 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 things |
W2:WAI.1 | and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear | impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home |
W2:359.1 | that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. Sin is | impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain base |
M:I.3 | be totally unrelated to what you think you are teaching. Yet it is | impossible not to use the content of any situation on behalf of what |
M:4.4 | When this Power has once been experienced, it is | impossible to trust one's own petty strength again. Who would attempt |
M:4.7 | interests on behalf of truth. He has not realized as yet how wholly | impossible such a demand would be. He can learn this only as he |
M:4.9 | The idea of sacrifice, so central to his thought system, had made it | impossible for him to judge. He thought he had learned willingness, |
M:4.9 | willingness is for. And now he must attain a state that may remain | impossible for a long, long time. He must learn to lay all judgment |
M:4.11 | At no level are they in conflict with themselves. Therefore it is | impossible for them to be in conflict with anyone or anything. |
M:4.12 | doubt, and the trust on which God's teachers rest secure makes doubt | impossible. Therefore they can only succeed. In this, as in all |
M:4.13 | a position you do not have. Judgment without self-deception is | impossible. Judgment implies that you have been deceived in your |
M:4.14 | Harm is | impossible for God's teachers. They can neither harm nor be harmed. |
M:4.14 | angry, and suspicious. It will make the Holy Spirit's lessons | impossible to learn. Nor can God's Teacher be heard at all except by |
M:4.15 | of salvation becomes easy. To those who would do harm, it is | impossible. To those to whom harm has no meaning, it is merely |
M:4.16 | inevitable result of gentleness. Gentleness means that fear is now | impossible, and what could come to interfere with joy? The open hands |
M:5.1 | an understanding of what the illusion of sickness is for. Healing is | impossible without this. |
M:6.1 | Healing is always certain. It is | impossible to let illusions be brought to truth and keep the |
M:7.2 | for he is offering hate to one to whom he offered love. This is | impossible. Having offered love, only love can be received. |
M:7.4 | It has all the appearances of love. Yet love without trust is | impossible, and doubt and trust cannot coexist. And hate must be the |
M:7.4 | love, regardless of the form it takes. Doubt not the gift, and it is | impossible to doubt its result. This is the certainty that gives |
M:7.6 | of conflicting wishes. Be sure of what you want, and doubt becomes | impossible. |
M:10.2 | merely become more honest. Recognizing that judgment was always | impossible for him, he no longer attempts it. This is no sacrifice. |
M:10.3 | learning, is the recognition that judgment in the usual sense is | impossible. This is not an opinion, but a fact. In order to judge |
M:11.1 | This is a question everyone must ask. Certainly peace seems to be | impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem |
M:11.1 | be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem | impossible, as well as this. His Word has promised peace. It has also |
M:11.1 | us that peace is possible here, and what He promises can hardly be | impossible. But it is true that the world must be looked at |
M:11.4 | Peace is | impossible to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who |
M:11.4 | of the world escaped! It is not the world that makes peace seem | impossible. It is the world you see that is impossible. Yet has God's |
M:11.4 | that makes peace seem impossible. It is the world you see that is | impossible. Yet has God's Judgment on this distorted world redeemed |
M:11.4 | “Can peace be possible in this world?” but instead, “Is it not | impossible that peace be absent here?” |
M:12.5 | is. He does not suffer either in going or remaining. Sickness is now | impossible to him. |
M:13.3 | Once this confusion has occurred, it becomes | impossible for the mind to understand that all the “pleasures” of the |
M:13.7 | anything. For it is here the split with God occurs. A split that is | impossible. A split that cannot happen. Yet a split in which you |
M:13.7 | you surely will believe, because you have set up a situation that is | impossible. And in this situation the impossible can seem to happen. |
M:13.7 | set up a situation that is impossible. And in this situation the | impossible can seem to happen. It seems to happen at the “sacrifice” |
M:17.6 | battle. Accept it as a fact, and then forget it. Do not remember the | impossible odds against you. Do not remember the immensity of the |
M:17.9 | certain witness that you do believe in it as fact. Now is escape | impossible until you see you have responded to your own |
M:18.1 | it is their task to escape from what is real. And this can only be | impossible. Reality is changeless. Magic thoughts are but illusions. |
M:18.1 | but illusions. Otherwise salvation would be only the same age-old | impossible dream in but another form. Yet the dream of salvation has |
M:19.1 | out. Neither justice nor injustice exists in Heaven, for error is | impossible and correction meaningless. In this world, however, |
M:19.1 | Spirit's verdict upon the world. Except in His judgment, justice is | impossible, for no one in the world is capable of making only just |
M:21.3 | for this, this will be given because this will be received. It is | impossible that the prayer of the heart remain unanswered in the |
M:21.3 | unanswered in the perception of the one who asks. If he asks for the | impossible, if he wants what does not exist or seeks for illusions in |
M:22.3 | of attack inviolate. If the body could be sick, Atonement would be | impossible. A body that can order a mind to do as it sees fit would |
M:22.3 | sees fit would merely take the place of God and prove salvation is | impossible. What then is left to heal? The body has become lord of |
M:24.1 | In the ultimate sense, reincarnation is | impossible. There is no past nor future, and the idea of birth into a |
M:25.2 | would be little point in trying to teach salvation. It would be | impossible to do so. The limits the world places on communication are |
M:26.3 | experience of direct union with God. In this world, it is almost | impossible that this endure. It can, perhaps, be won after much |

Tx:16.32 | only as long as he serves this purpose. Hatred can enter and | indeed is welcome in some aspects of the relationship, but it is |
Tx:17.18 | Time is | indeed unkind to the unholy relationship. For time is cruel in the |
Tx:18.32 | you want it above all else. It is not necessary that you do more; | indeed, it is necessary that you realize that you cannot do more. |
Tx:18.66 | you desire it. Many have spent a lifetime in preparation and have | indeed achieved their instants of success. This course does not |
Tx:19.22 | It can | indeed be said the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a world |
Tx:19.38 | nothing undertaken with the Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can | indeed be sure of nothing you see outside you, but of this you can |
Tx:20.20 | This world is merciless, and were it outside you, you should | indeed be fearful. Yet it was you who made it merciless, and now if |
Tx:20.60 | To obtain the goal, the Holy Spirit | indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the means as well. The |
Tx:20.64 | There is | indeed a difference between this vain imagining and vision. The |
Tx:21.21 | that you are faithless, for your belief and trust in this is strong | indeed. |
Tx:21.31 | Why is it strange to you that faith can move mountains? This is | indeed a little feat for such a power. For faith can keep the Son of |
Tx:21.41 | Errors He will correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are | indeed afraid to look within and see the sin you think is there. This |
Tx:21.42 | this is not the ego's hidden fear, nor yours who serve it. Loudly | indeed the ego claims it is—too loudly and too often. For |
Tx:21.67 | You are your brother's savior. He is yours. Reason speaks happily | indeed of this. This gracious plan was given love by Love. And what |
Tx:21.71 | that they are one with him, they know not whom they hate. They are | indeed a sorry army, each one as likely to attack his brother or turn |
Tx:21.73 | The army of the powerless is weak | indeed. It has no weapons, and it has no enemy. Yes, it can overrun |

Tx:22.5 | what 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 |
Tx:22.8 | that this is no secret that need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake | indeed! Let not your fear of sin protect it from correction, for the |
Tx:22.15 | confidence, for faith in one another is always faith in Him. You are | indeed correct in looking on each other as His chosen home, for here |
Tx:22.18 | eyes can be confused with joy. Joy is eternal. You can be sure | indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is really fear. |
Tx:22.33 | And they were made to look on error and not see past it. Theirs is | indeed a strange perception, for they can see only illusions, unable |
Tx:23.2 | How strange | indeed becomes this war against yourself! You will believe that |
Tx:23.22 | The second law of chaos, dear | indeed to every worshiper of sin, is that each one must sin and |
Tx:24.64 | make your specialness the truth, for if it were, you would be lost | indeed. Be thankful, rather, it is given you to see his holiness |
Tx:25.3 | needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick | indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose |
Tx:25.60 | gain because another lost. If this were true, then God is mad | indeed! But what is this belief except a form of the more basic |
Tx:25.68 | Holy Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They are unjust | indeed to Him.] Nor can they trust Him not to strike them dead with |
Tx:25.73 | anything be kept from him? For that would be injustice and unfair | indeed to all the holiness that is in him, however much he recognize |
Tx:26.3 | In this perception of yourself, the body's loss would be a sacrifice | indeed. For sight of bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice is |
Tx:26.30 | A little hindrance can seem large | indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are all the same. |
Tx:26.31 | keeping step to Heaven's song, is difficult to do. But it is hard | indeed to wander off, alone and miserable, down a road which leads to |
Tx:26.33 | Uncertainty was brought to certainty so long ago that it is hard | indeed to hold it to your heart as if it were before you still. |
Tx:26.46 | Who dwells with shadows is alone | indeed, and loneliness is not the Will of God. Would you allow one |
Tx:26.87 | the Son of God. You have no enemy except yourself, and you are enemy | indeed to him because you do not know him as yourself. What could |
Tx:27.27 | what your function is. If He upheld divided function, you were lost | indeed. His inability to see His goal divided and distinct for each |
Tx:27.47 | that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the world | indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld its peace and comfort, |
Tx:27.69 | to a dream conceived and cherished by a separate mind. Careless | indeed of him this mind must be, as thoughtless of his peace and |
Tx:27.70 | choose if you deny the cause of suffering is in your mind. Be glad | indeed it is, for thus are you the one decider of your destiny in |
Tx:27.84 | cause. Without the cause do its effects seem serious and sad | indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their cause which follows |
Tx:28.4 | The Holy Spirit can | indeed make use of memory, for God Himself is there. Yet this is not |
Tx:28.8 | which He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its consequences will | indeed seem new because you thought that you remembered not their |
Tx:28.36 | This is a feast unlike | indeed to those the dreaming of the world has shown. For here, the |
Tx:28.55 | It is | indeed a senseless point of view to hold responsible for sight a |

Tx:30.55 | Salvation is a paradox | indeed! What could it be except a happy dream? It asks you but that |
Tx:30.56 | toys of terror that you made. No more than this is asked. Be glad | indeed salvation asks so little, not so much. It asks for nothing |

W1:133.4 | can make alternatives from which to choose. The choosing you can do; | indeed you must. But it is wise to learn the laws you set in motion |

M:16.9 | the attempt to substitute another will for God's. These attempts may | indeed seem frightening, yet they are merely pathetic. They can have |
M:17.3 | only if perception of separate goals has entered. And this must | indeed have been the case if the result is anything but joy. The |

M:21.4 | teacher of God then to avoid the use of words in his teaching? No, | indeed. There are many who must be reached through words, being as |
M:21.5 | fear about the validity of what he hears. And what he hears may | indeed be quite startling. It may also seem to be quite irrelevant to |

M:24.1 | the recognition of the eternal nature of life, it is helpful | indeed. Is any other question about it really useful in lighting up |
M:25.4 | to glorify itself. Strengths turned to weakness are tragedy | indeed. Yet what is not given to the Holy Spirit must be given to |
M:26.1 | God | indeed can be reached directly, for there is no distance between Him |

M:28.5 | all purposes. Holy are we because His holiness has set us free | indeed, and we accept His holiness as ours, as it is. As God created |
M:29.5 | this mean that you cannot decide anything without consulting Him? No | indeed! That would hardly be practical, and it is the practical with |

D:Day18.4 | full acceptance of the Self in a form that can be distinguished, or | individuated from the rest. It is full acceptance of difference as |
D:Day18.11 | through relationship in which the relationship, rather than the | individuated self, becomes the known. Both ways are ways of creation. |
D:Day19.10 | It differs only in that the example is not an example of an | individuated life but an example of the union and relationship that |
D:Day19.12 | make the unknown known. One makes the unknown known through | individuated example lives. One makes the unknown known through |
D:Day19.16 | This is very tricky for those who reach highly | individuated states and it is necessary for those of the way of Mary |

D:Day31.6 | of knower and knowee. It is the One Self knowing itself as one | individuated Self. |

D:Day31.8 | Self within the individuated Self. To know the One Self within the | individuated Self is to join the two. The two are thus joined in the |
D:Day31.8 | Self and God are one and experiencing together in wholeness. For the | individuated Self to experience separately from God is to negate the |

D:Day37.10 | only Jesus but Christ. Not only Christ but Jesus. Not separated but | individuated. You realize that the call for the second coming of |
D:Day37.18 | Certainly you “feel” like an | individuated being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you feel |
D:Day37.25 | God was all of Jesus while at the same time each was different or | individuated by being in union and relationship. |
D:Day38.11 | difference between I Am and who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of | individuated or differentiated being in union and relationship. |

D:Day39.6 | from you. 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 |
D:Day39.8 | in unity because the boundaries of separation have fallen. To be | individuated being in union and relationship is to be Christ, to |
D:Day39.9 | as Christ, or as the bridge of relationship between all that is | individuated in union and relationship. |
D:Day39.10 | you realize that relationship is the intermediary link between | individuated beings and that you hold this link, through relationship |

D:Day39.12 | words, there must be a you and a me. In other words, as you are | individuated, so too am I. We jointly individuate rather than |

Tx:6.70 | attacking them, even though it was quite apparent that I was not. An | insane learner learns strange lessons. |
Tx:6.74 | Upside-down as always, the ego perceives the first lesson as | insane. In fact this is its only alternative here since the other |
Tx:6.74 | be much less acceptable to it, would obviously be that it is | insane. The ego's judgment, then, is predetermined by what it is, |
Tx:6.75 | called upon the Voice for Peace to help you. His lesson is not | insane; the conflict is. |
Tx:6.77 | You are not asked to make | insane decisions, although you are free to think you are. It |

Tx:7.41 | always the belief that healing is harmful. This is its totally | insane premise, and so it proceeds accordingly. |
Tx:7.56 | never knows what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly | insane. The ego draws upon the one source which is totally inimical |

Tx:9.102 | To interfere with you would be to attack Himself, and God is not | insane. When you denied Him, you were insane. Would you have Him |

Tx:10.1 | Either God or the ego is | insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you |
Tx:10.2 | you made your own father. Make no mistake about this. It sounds | insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the ego never |
Tx:10.2 | looks upon what it does with perfect honesty. Yet that is its | insane premise, which is carefully hidden in the dark cornerstone of |
Tx:10.52 | this is what the ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is not | insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he |
Tx:10.52 | him but recognize it, and he will not accept it. For only the | insane would choose fear in place of love, and only the insane |
Tx:10.52 | only the insane would choose fear in place of love, and only the | insane could believe that love can be gained by attack. But the sane |
Tx:10.56 | witnesses are consistent. The case for insanity is strong to the | insane. For reasoning ends at its beginning, and no thought system |
Tx:11.29 | and he always tries to handle it by making some sort of | insane “arrangement” with the world. He always perceives this world |
Tx:11.30 | are the world's reality, the real world must be in his mind. His | insane thoughts, too, must be in his mind, but an internal conflict |
Tx:11.81 | only in a mind that wills to remember and that has relinquished the | insane desire to control reality. You who cannot even control |

Tx:11.98 | believes in atonement through attack, being fully committed to the | insane notion that attack is salvation. And you who cherish guilt |
Tx:12.3 | condemning him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but | insane idea lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so |
Tx:12.14 | You have built your whole | insane belief system because you think you would be helpless in God's |
Tx:12.22 | creation, He could not take it from you. He could but answer your | insane request with a sane answer which would abide with you in your |
Tx:12.22 | illusions from which you can look back on them and see them as | insane. But seek this place, and you will find it, for love is in |

Tx:13.21 | Insane ideas have no real relationships, for that is why they are | |
Tx:13.21 | Insane ideas have no real relationships, for that is why they are | insane. No real relationship can rest on guilt or even hold one spot |
Tx:13.25 | a reason for it. For you must learn that guilt is always totally | insane and has no reason. The Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel |
Tx:13.47 | and as well as does the ego, except that His conclusions are not | insane. They take a direction exactly opposite, pointing as clearly |
Tx:13.50 | is closed off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an | insane world, and do not underestimate the actual extent of its |
Tx:13.51 | in the world to teach him that the logic of the world is totally | insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who made this insane logic, |
Tx:13.51 | is totally insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who made this | insane logic, there is One Who knows it leads to nothing, for He |
Tx:13.91 | trying to teach him guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic and | insane attempt, which cheats you of the joy of living with your God |
Tx:14.25 | fear. Under each cornerstone of fear on which you have erected your | insane system of belief, the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know |
Tx:14.59 | to imprison the Son of God, a lesson so unthinkable that only the | insane, in deepest sleep, could even dream of it. Can God learn how |
Tx:15.68 | special relationships, forged out of anger and dedicated to but one | insane belief—that the more anger you invest outside yourself, |
Tx:15.71 | In these | insane relationships, the attraction of what you do not want seems to |
Tx:15.75 | that to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is clearly | insane to believe that by communicating you will be abandoned. And |
Tx:16.65 | love in any special relationship here. For you are no longer wholly | insane, and you would recognize the guilt of self-betrayal for what |
Tx:16.67 | to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly | insane could look on death and suffering, sickness and despair and |
Tx:16.72 | for vengeance on the past. It is completely savage and completely | insane. For the ego remembers everything that you have done which |
Tx:16.73 | you are allowing your destruction to be. That this is | insane is obvious. But what is less obvious to you is that the |
Tx:16.75 | Against the ego's | insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy |
Tx:17.16 | vengeance, and all relationships into which they enter are totally | insane. Without exception, these relationships have as their |
Tx:17.31 | its reason as it sees it. It does not realize that it is totally | insane. And you must realize just what this means if you would be |
Tx:17.31 | just what this means if you would be restored to sanity. The | insane protect their thought systems, but they do so insanely. And |
Tx:17.31 | systems, but they do so insanely. And all their defenses are as | insane as what they are supposed to protect. The separation has |
Tx:17.31 | in it, no part, no “reason,” and no attribute that is not | insane. And its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the whole. |
Tx:17.31 | that is not insane. And its “protection” is part of it, as | insane as the whole. The special relationship, which is its chief |
Tx:17.31 | relationship, which is its chief defense, must therefore be | insane. |
Tx:17.32 | delusions. You recognize, at least in general terms, that the ego is | insane. Yet the special relationship still seems to you somehow to be |
Tx:17.48 | has sanity as its purpose. For now you find yourselves in an | insane relationship, recognized as such in the light of its goal. |
Tx:17.49 | Has He not been very explicit in His answer? You are not now wholly | insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit |
Tx:17.73 | Who walks with you in every situation. You are no longer wholly | insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a dream. |
Tx:18.8 | you gently back to the truth and safety within. He brings all your | insane projections and your wild substitutions which you have placed |
Tx:18.19 | the same. They are your protest against reality and your fixed and | insane idea that you can change it. In your waking dreams, the |
Tx:18.54 | It is | insane to use the body as the scapegoat for guilt, directing its |
Tx:18.86 | they are meaningless. From the world of bodies, made by insanity, | insane messages seem to be returned to the mind which made it. And |
Tx:18.88 | based. Here are all the illusions, all the twisted thoughts, all the | insane attacks, the fury, vengeance, and betrayal that were made to |
Tx:19.17 | and the belief that punishment is correction is clearly | insane. |
Tx:19.20 | A major tenet in the ego's | insane religion is that sin is not error but truth, and it is |
Tx:19.30 | what it is told through it. If it does not obey, the mind is judged | insane. The only power which could change perception is thus kept |
Tx:19.31 | be split and torn between good and evil—partly sane and partially | insane. For He must have created what wills to destroy Him and has |
Tx:19.46 | The little | insane wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him out |
Tx:19.72 | all of the ego's heavy investment in the body. And it is this | insane relationship which it keeps hidden and yet feeds upon. To |
Tx:19.80 | Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick minds of the | insane, dedicated to madness and set against the peace of Heaven? One |
Tx:19.82 | of corruption which can be corrected. For God has answered this | insane idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore |
Tx:20.24 | meaning of your unholy relationship and adjusted it according to its | insane answer. How happy did it make you? Did you meet with joy to |
Tx:20.30 | Your | insane laws were made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and |
Tx:21.19 | you see is but the idle witness that you were right. This witness is | insane. You trained it in its testimony, and as it gave it back to |
Tx:21.48 | follow in gladness the way to certainty. Be not held back by fear's | insane insistence that sureness lies in doubt. This has no meaning. |
Tx:21.55 | see because the witnesses on its behalf are clear. Only the totally | insane can disregard them, and you have gone past this. Reason is a |
Tx:21.56 | uses it because it does not realize that it exists. The partially | insane have access to it, and only they have need of it. Knowledge |
Tx:21.62 | place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the will of the | insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their will. For they |
Tx:21.62 | madness if it be the will of the insane to listen to it. But the | insane know not their will. For they believe they see the body and |
Tx:21.63 | separate you from your brother, and if you think it does, you are | insane. But madness has a purpose and believes it also has the means |
Tx:21.63 | as a barrier between what reason tells you must be joined must be | insane. Nor could you see it if you heard the voice of reason. What |
Tx:21.89 | to the others has made it possible to help you be but partially | insane. And yet it is the final one that really asks if you are |
Tx:23.12 | true. And so it matters not what form they take. What made them is | insane, and they remain part of what made them. Madness holds out no |
Tx:23.31 | what they mean. That is apparent. The means of madness must be | insane. Are you as certain that you realize the goal is madness? |
Tx:25.53 | to be true. Sin is not real because the Father and the Son are not | insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on sin. Who |
Tx:25.54 | foundation of the world you see to something else—a basis not | insane on which a sane perception can be based, another world |
Tx:25.55 | else. What is not love is sin, and either one perceives the other as | insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a world perceived as |
Tx:25.55 | sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally | insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond |
Tx:25.56 | function is the special form in which the fact that God is not | insane appears most sensible and meaningful to you. The content is |
Tx:25.56 | the form of sanity which makes it most acceptable to those who are | insane requires special choice. Nor can this choice be made by the |
Tx:25.56 | insane requires special choice. Nor can this choice be made by the | insane, whose problem is their choices are not free and made with |
Tx:25.57 | It would be madness to entrust salvation to the | insane. Because He is not mad has God appointed One as sane as He |
Tx:25.60 | that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God must be | insane. For in this world, it seems that one must gain because |
Tx:25.60 | and understand that it must be that either God or this must be | insane, but hardly both. |
Tx:25.61 | perfect confidence and perfect peace. Reason is satisfied, for all | insane beliefs can be corrected here. And sin must be impossible if |
Tx:26.52 | Him, and brought His love at last to vengeance's heels. For such an | insane picture, an insane defense can be expected but can not |
Tx:26.52 | love at last to vengeance's heels. For such an insane picture, an | insane defense can be expected but can not establish that the |
Tx:26.80 | own has been restored to it. The bloodied earth is cleansed, and the | insane have shed their garments of insanity to join Them on the |
Tx:27.59 | it stands for what is past forgiveness and is true. How foolish and | insane it is to think a miracle is bound by laws which it came solely |
Tx:28.54 | Who punishes the body is | insane. For here the little gap is seen, and yet it is not here. It |
Tx:30.24 | you 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 |
Tx:31.42 | from Him. A journey from yourself does not exist. How foolish and | insane it is to think that there could be a road with such an aim! |

Tx:15.39 | I stand within the holy | instant, as clear as you would have me. And the extent to which you |

Tx:15.41 | do that is to deny the perfect communication that makes the holy | instant what it is. You believe that it is possible to harbor |

Tx:15.60 | and so no one is aware that perfect love is in him. In the holy | instant, you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this idea |
Tx:15.60 | it. By holding it within itself, there was no loss. The holy | instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in |
Tx:15.61 | In the holy | instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The |
Tx:15.61 | it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any way. In this | instant, he is as free as God would have him be. For the instant he |
Tx:15.61 | In this instant, he is as free as God would have him be. For the | instant he refuses to be bound, he is not bound. |
Tx:15.62 | In the holy | instant, nothing happens that has not always been. Only the veil that |
Tx:15.62 | because He offered it to me and I accepted it. Fear not the holy | instant will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the |
Tx:15.62 | no need that you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy | instant, you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of |
Tx:15.64 | In the holy | instant God is remembered, and the language of communication with all |
Tx:15.64 | together, as is truth. There is no exclusion in the holy | instant because the past is gone and with it goes the whole basis |
Tx:15.77 | it can overcome even this without fear. It is through the holy | instant that what seems impossible is accomplished, making it |
Tx:15.77 | making it evident that it is not impossible. In the holy | instant, guilt holds no attraction, since communication has been |
Tx:15.79 | The holy | instant does not replace the need for learning, for the Holy Spirit |
Tx:15.79 | the Holy Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the holy | instant has extended far beyond time. For a teaching assignment such |
Tx:15.80 | desire with all your hearts. Let us join together in making the holy | instant all that there is by desiring that it be all that there is. |
Tx:15.82 | Think but an | instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect |
Tx:15.85 | to God. It is this shift in vision which is accomplished in the holy | instant. Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift |
Tx:15.87 | have no limits, having been established by God. In the holy | instant, where the Great Rays replace the body in awareness, the |
Tx:15.91 | in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy | instant there are no bodies, and you experience only the attraction |
Tx:15.91 | of God. Accepting it as undivided, you join Him wholly in an | instant. [For you would place no limits on your union with Him.] |
Tx:15.93 | The holy | instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating instant, |
Tx:15.93 | The holy instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating | instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited |
Tx:15.107 | In the holy | instant, the condition of love is met, for minds are joined without |
Tx:15.112 | There is much to do, and we have been long delayed. Accept the holy | instant as this year is born and take your place, so long left |
Tx:16.34 | in these terms, no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the | instant the choice seems to be one between illusions, for this |
Tx:16.60 | which the Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The holy | instant is His most helpful tool in protecting you from the |
Tx:16.68 | it. Wait no longer, for the love of God and you. And may the holy | instant speed you on the way, as it will surely do if you but let it |
Tx:16.69 | relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a holy | instant and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness |
Tx:16.75 | insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy | instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must teach through |
Tx:16.75 | through comparisons and uses opposites to point to truth. The holy | instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in salvation |
Tx:16.75 | belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy | instant, it is accepted that the past is gone, and with its passing |
Tx:16.76 | For a time you may attempt to bring illusions into the holy | instant to hinder your full awareness of the complete difference in |
Tx:16.76 | truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy | instant, the power of the Holy Spirit will prevail because you |
Tx:16.76 | prevent you from keeping the experience in your mind. Yet the holy | instant is eternal, and your illusions of time will not prevent the |
Tx:16.77 | You will receive because it is His Will to give. He gave the holy | instant to be given you, and it is impossible that you receive it |
Tx:16.77 | When He willed that His Son be free, His Son was free. In the holy | instant is His reminder that His Son will always be exactly as he |
Tx:16.78 | forgiven, for it is you who offered them illusions. In the holy | instant, this is done for you in time to bring to you the true |
Tx:16.80 | Seek and find his message in the holy | instant, where all illusions are forgiven. From there the miracle |
Tx:17.36 | That is why the holy | instant is so important in the defense of truth. The truth itself |
Tx:17.37 | The holy | instant is a miniature of Heaven, sent you from Heaven. It is a |
Tx:17.37 | willingness to focus all your attention on the picture. The holy | instant is a miniature of eternity. It is a picture of timelessness, |
Tx:17.37 | of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this | instant, borrowed from eternity and set in time for you. |
Tx:17.42 | with Him lies in our relationship to one another. The holy | instant shines alike on all relationships, for in it they are one. |
Tx:17.43 | The holy relationship is the expression of the holy | instant in living in this world. Like everything about salvation, the |
Tx:17.43 | in living in this world. Like everything about salvation, the holy | instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy |
Tx:17.43 | instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy | instant never fails. The experience of it is always felt. Yet |
Tx:17.52 | in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined with many in the holy | instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your choice will |
Tx:17.53 | and gratitude, you make yourselves unable to express the holy | instant, and thus you lose sight of it. |
Tx:17.54 | The experience of an | instant, however compelling it may be, is easily forgotten if you |
Tx:17.54 | gracious in your awareness of time but not concealed within it. The | instant remains. But where are you? To give thanks to each other is |
Tx:17.54 | are you? To give thanks to each other is to appreciate the holy | instant and thus enable its results to be accepted and shared. To |
Tx:17.54 | be accepted and shared. To attack each other is not to lose the | instant but to make it powerless in its effects. You have |
Tx:17.54 | to make it powerless in its effects. You have received the holy | instant, but you have established a condition in which you cannot |
Tx:17.56 | given to each other, you will also accept the effects of the holy | instant and use them to correct all your mistakes and free you from |
Tx:17.74 | The holy | instant is nothing more than a special case or an extreme example of |
Tx:17.74 | left unused, that faith might answer to the call of truth. The holy | instant is the shining example, the clear and unequivocal |
Tx:17.76 | Would you not want to make a holy | instant of every situation? For such is the gift of faith, freely |
Tx:18.17 | dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and fear pervade it, and in an | instant, the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of |
Tx:18.25 | are afraid, you have stepped back. Let us then join quickly in an | instant of light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal |
Tx:18.28 | Each | instant that we spend together will teach you that this goal is |
Tx:18.30 | has been brought to light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy | instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire to |
Tx:18.32 | The holy | instant is the result of your determination to be holy. It is the |
Tx:18.32 | adds the greatness and the might. He joins with you to make the holy | instant far greater than you can understand. It is your realization |
Tx:18.33 | came. If you could come without them, you would not need the holy | instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve |
Tx:18.33 | achieve the state its coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy | instant lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your |
Tx:18.34 | greatness, which comes not of you. Your difficulty with the holy | instant arises from your fixed conviction that you are not worthy of |
Tx:18.35 | The holy | instant does not come from your little willingness alone. It is |
Tx:18.36 | receive the answer as it is given. In preparing for the holy | instant, do not attempt to make yourself holy to be ready to receive |
Tx:18.38 | add if you prepare yourself for love. The preparation for the holy | instant belongs to Him Who gives it. Release yourselves to Him Whose |
Tx:18.39 | It is this that makes the holy | instant so easy and so natural. You make it difficult because you |
Tx:18.40 | it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the holy | instant is difficult for you, it is because you have become the |
Tx:18.41 | truth and illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy | instant, your holy relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all |
Tx:18.42 | Never approach the holy | instant after you have tried to remove all fear and hatred from |
Tx:18.43 | Through your holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy | instant which you do not arrange, thousands will rise to Heaven with |
Tx:18.46 | Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this | instant for the holy one which you would rather have. He will never |
Tx:18.46 | as this is impossible, so is it equally impossible that the holy | instant come to either of you without the other. And it will come |
Tx:18.48 | I desire this holy | instant for myself that I may share it with my brother, whom I love. |
Tx:18.48 | it is wholly possible for us to share it now. And so I choose this | instant as the one to offer to the Holy Spirit, that His blessing may |
Tx:18.61 | restrictions, you experience much of what happens in the holy | instant; the lifting of the barriers of time and space, the sudden |
Tx:18.62 | place with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy | instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself within its safe |
Tx:18.64 | still more, but there is one thing you have never done—not for one | instant have you utterly forgotten the body. It has faded at times |
Tx:18.64 | disappeared. You are not asked to let this happen for more than an | instant, yet it is in this instant that the miracle of Atonement |
Tx:18.64 | asked to let this happen for more than an instant, yet it is in this | instant that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will |
Tx:18.64 | you will see the body again, but never quite the same. And every | instant that you spend without awareness of it gives you a |
Tx:18.65 | At no single | instant does the body exist at all. It is always remembered or |
Tx:18.65 | Time controls it entirely, for sin is never present. In any single | instant, the attraction of guilt would be experienced as pain and |
Tx:18.66 | It is impossible to accept the holy | instant without reservation unless just for an instant you are |
Tx:18.66 | to accept the holy instant without reservation unless just for an | instant you are willing to see no past or future. You cannot |
Tx:18.66 | for it without placing it in the future. Release is given you the | instant you desire it. Many have spent a lifetime in preparation and |
Tx:18.67 | but in means. A holy relationship is a means of saving time. One | instant spent together restores the universe to both of you. You |
Tx:18.68 | of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one | instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of |
Tx:18.80 | of Heaven with all the love of its Creator shining upon it. The holy | instant is your invitation to love, to enter into your bleak and |
Tx:18.81 | no barriers which would interfere with its glad coming. In the holy | instant, you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither less |
Tx:18.97 | the darkness and gently placed before the gates of Heaven. The holy | instant in which you were united is but the messenger of love, sent |
Tx:19.11 | from yours. Each one appears just as he is perceived in the holy | instant, united in your purpose to be released from guilt. You saw |
Tx:19.14 | In the holy | instant, you stand before the altar God has raised unto Himself and |
Tx:19.34 | not hidden. You will be healed of sin and all its ravages the | instant that you give it no power over each other. And you will help |
Tx:19.35 | In the holy | instant, you will see the smile of heaven shining on both of you. |
Tx:19.35 | union Heaven has smiled upon. Your perception was healed in the holy | instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen and raise your |
Tx:19.55 | and at which everyone is welcomed as an honored guest. And in a holy | instant, grace is said by everyone together as they join in |
Tx:19.98 | and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us join together in a holy | instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a holy |
Tx:19.98 | holy instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a holy | instant has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who brought us |
Tx:20.25 | in darkness they remember not the light, do not leap up in joy the | instant they are made free. It takes a while for them to understand |
Tx:20.42 | You look upon each holy | instant as a different point in time. It never changes. All that it |
Tx:20.52 | isolation which seems to be what it is not. No more than that. The | instant that the mad idea of making your relationship with God unholy |
Tx:20.52 | all your relationships were made meaningless. In that unholy | instant, time was born and bodies made to house the mad idea and give |
Tx:20.52 | For what could house this mad idea against reality but for an | instant? |
Tx:20.53 | must disappear and leave no trace behind their going. The unholy | instant of their seeming power is frail as is a snowflake, but |
Tx:20.53 | this the substitute you want for the eternal blessing of the holy | instant and its unlimited beneficence? Is the malevolence of the |
Tx:20.53 | and so invested in a false attraction, your preference to the holy | instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the |
Tx:20.54 | smile and tender blessing it offers to its own. Here the unholy | instant is exchanged in gladness for the holy one of safe return. |
Tx:20.55 | a tiny spot of space and time, beholden unto death and given but an | instant in which to sigh and grieve and die in honor of its master. |
Tx:20.55 | to sigh and grieve and die in honor of its master. And this unholy | instant seems to be life; an instant of despair, a tiny island of dry |
Tx:20.55 | in honor of its master. And this unholy instant seems to be life; an | instant of despair, a tiny island of dry sand, bereft of water and |
Tx:20.56 | Here it is given him to choose to spend this | instant paying tribute to the body or let himself be given freedom |
Tx:20.56 | or let himself be given freedom from it. Here he can accept the holy | instant, offered him to replace the unholy one he chose before. And |
Tx:20.56 | this may still be fearful, but you are not immobilized. The holy | instant is of greater value now to you than its unholy seeming |
Tx:20.62 | the ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy | instant is the time of bodies. But the purpose here is sin. It |
Tx:20.63 | unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of sin an | instant before he dies. |
Tx:20.77 | who is there who could refuse what must come after? Think but an | instant just on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His Son. |
Tx:21.18 | see goes with it. Never was so much given for so little. In the holy | instant is this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the world |
Tx:21.23 | Be willing for an | instant to leave your altars free of what you placed upon them, and |
Tx:21.23 | them, and what is really there you cannot fail to see. The holy | instant is not an instant of creation but of recognition. For |
Tx:21.23 | is really there you cannot fail to see. The holy instant is not an | instant of creation but of recognition. For recognition comes of |
Tx:21.28 | other and separate from your Father, you made in secret, and the | instant of release has come to you. All its effects are gone because |
Tx:21.37 | given you is more than anything that stands this side of Heaven. The | instant for its recognition is at hand. Join your awareness to what |
Tx:21.53 | there since the need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the same | instant. Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet such is |
Tx:21.65 | you to change his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an | instant. And any instant serves to bring complete correction of his |
Tx:21.65 | his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an instant. And any | instant serves to bring complete correction of his errors and make |
Tx:21.65 | to bring complete correction of his errors and make him whole. The | instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same |
Tx:21.65 | instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same | instant is his whole salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is |
Tx:21.67 | be given you to give what It has given and gives still. Spend but an | instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your |
Tx:21.90 | What is the holy | instant but God's appeal to you to recognize what He has given you? |
Tx:22.14 | it through awareness older than perception and yet reborn in just an | instant. For what is time to what was always so? Think what that |
Tx:22.14 | an instant. For what is time to what was always so? Think what that | instant brought—the recognition that the “something else” you |
Tx:23.40 | your foot upon the twisted stairway that leads from Heaven. Yet any | instant it is possible to have all this undone. How can you know |
Tx:23.46 | not lingered there in cowering hope because the guns are stilled an | instant and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, |
Tx:24.26 | it for himself? For it is sure he would receive it wholly the | instant that he gave it so. And thus his secret guilt would |
Tx:24.38 | reality not real but just a dream of specialness which lasts an | instant, crumbling into dust. |
Tx:24.43 | the sightless, unlit but by the shifting tiny gleams that spark an | instant from the fireflies of sin and then go out, to lead the other |
Tx:25.26 | and the sight of perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with | instant and complete forgiveness. |
Tx:25.27 | Nothing remains an | instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged beyond the |
Tx:25.27 | yet no one has entered it alone. [Nor need he stay more than an | instant.] For he has come with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead |
Tx:25.31 | you will make this choice your future? For you make it now, the | instant when all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your |
Tx:25.48 | did God appoint to be the means for his salvation from the very | instant that the choice was made. His special sin was made his |
Tx:26.5 | become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No | instant passes here in which your brother's holiness cannot be seen, |
Tx:26.7 | Yet every | instant can you be reborn and given life again. His holiness gives |
Tx:26.8 | eternally and everywhere. He is the same forever—born again each | instant, untouched by time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice |
Tx:26.32 | it. And what He would replace has been replaced. Time lasted but an | instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all |
Tx:26.32 | one and all of them that came within the first. And in that tiny | instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave |
Tx:26.33 | live in what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an | instant, long ago before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one |
Tx:26.34 | The tiny | instant you would keep and make eternal passed away in Heaven too |
Tx:26.35 | or thought, in every judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one | instant still called back, as if it could be made again in time. You |
Tx:26.37 | gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you want that fearful | instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and God was feared and |
Tx:26.39 | gone by? [This course will teach you only what is now.] A dreadful | instant in a distant past, now perfectly corrected, is of no concern |
Tx:26.39 | power to keep you in a place of death, a vault God's Son entered an | instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's perfect Love. And |
Tx:26.40 | that God created is as free as God created him. He was reborn the | instant that he chose to die instead of live. And will you not |
Tx:26.42 | Each day and every minute in each day and every | instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant |
Tx:26.42 | and every instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single | instant when the time of terror was replaced by love. And so you die |
Tx:26.42 | from birth to death and on to life again, a repetition of an | instant gone by long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of time |
Tx:26.56 | within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the | instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of God |
Tx:26.63 | on the Son of God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each | instant is the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. |
Tx:26.63 | he chooses death instead of what his Father wills for him. Yet every | instant offers life to him because his Father wills that he should |
Tx:27.21 | balance in the sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an | instant, even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as |
Tx:27.34 | any kind. For you will give it overwhelming preference. Nor delay an | instant in deciding that it is the only one you want. It does not |
Tx:27.37 | state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy | instant. It is here that all your problems should be brought and |
Tx:27.41 | want an honest answer where the conflict ends. Only within the holy | instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And from the |
Tx:27.42 | is preserved intact because it gave the answer to itself. The holy | instant is the interval in which the mind is still enough to hear an |
Tx:27.43 | question, though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy | instant, you can bring the question to the answer and receive the |
Tx:27.44 | forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend itself the | instant it is born. And it is born the instant it is offered and |
Tx:27.44 | nature to extend itself the instant it is born. And it is born the | instant it is offered and received. No one can ask another to be |
Tx:27.45 | be no need for healing then. But it does mean, if only for an | instant, you love without attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles |
Tx:27.45 | it does mean, if only for an instant, you love without attack. An | instant is sufficient. Miracles wait not on time. |
Tx:27.46 | The holy | instant is the miracle's abiding-place. From there each one is born |
Tx:27.46 | where a miracle has come to heal. And nothing more than just one | instant of your love without attack is necessary that all this occur. |
Tx:27.46 | love without attack is necessary that all this occur. In that one | instant are you healed, and in that single instant is all healing |
Tx:27.46 | this occur. In that one instant are you healed, and in that single | instant is all healing done. |
Tx:27.47 | What stands apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy | instant brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses |
Tx:27.47 | of you on your behalf. A dying world asks only that you rest an | instant from attack upon yourself, that it be healed. |
Tx:27.48 | Come to the holy | instant and be healed, for nothing that is there received is left |
Tx:27.53 | understand that you have benefited from it. What occurred within the | instant which love entered in without attack will stay with you |
Tx:27.61 | that you may demonstrate the healing of the world. The holy | instant will replace all sin if you but carry its effects with you. |
Tx:27.72 | illusions and of fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the | instant of disaster, all are here. Here is the cause of unreality. |
Tx:27.80 | to figures in a dream unless he sees them as if they were real? The | instant that he sees them as they are, they have no more effects on |
Tx:27.85 | idle dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the holy | instant with your laughter and your brother's joined with His. |
Tx:28.11 | The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an | instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and |
Tx:28.12 | He to Whom time is given offers thanks for every quiet | instant given Him. For in that instant is His memory allowed to offer |
Tx:28.12 | given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in that | instant is His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the Son |
Tx:28.12 | and Him and lets Them enter where They would abide. For in that | instant does the Son of God do nothing that would make himself afraid. |
Tx:28.15 | to allow the memory of God to flow across it, making it a bridge an | instant will suffice to reach beyond? For God has closed it with |
Tx:28.63 | be sick. All miracles are based upon this choice and given you the | instant it is made. No forms of sickness are immune because the |
Tx:29.9 | What toys or trinkets in the gap could serve to hold you back an | instant from His love? Would you allow the body to say “no” to |
Tx:30.45 | shine through all eternity. There was no time it was not there; no | instant when its light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was. |
Tx:31.12 | Let us be still an | instant and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, |
Tx:31.20 | Then let us wait an | instant and be still, forgetting everything we thought we heard; |
Tx:31.22 | Be very still an | instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned before and |
Tx:31.24 | An | instant spent without your old ideas of who your great companion is |
Tx:31.63 | is doomed to suffering and loss. And no one is exactly as he was an | instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is now an instant |
Tx:31.63 | he was an instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is now an | instant hence. Who could have trust where so much change is seen, for |
Tx:31.77 | meet or look upon, not knowing who they are, all those you saw an | instant and forgot, and those you knew a long while since, and those |
W1:33.5 | Remember to apply today's idea the | instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to take a |
W1:41.7 | of practice as we go along. But it will never fail completely, and | instant success is possible. |
W1:48.3 | remembered God and let His strength take the place of yours. The | instant you are willing to do this, there is indeed nothing to fear. |
W1:98.11 | with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging every | instant of the time you offer Him for timelessness and peace. |
W1:128.4 | hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one | instant of delay and pain, one moment of uncertainty and doubt. The |
W1:135.20 | and with joy which constantly increases as this life becomes a holy | instant, set in time but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses |
W1:136.8 | you suffering. It is a choice you make, a plan you lay when for an | instant truth arises in your own deluded mind and all your world |
W1:136.21 | identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give | instant remedy should this occur by not allowing your defensiveness |
W1:137.11 | become the instruments of healing. Nor does time elapse between the | instant they are healed and all the grace of healing it is given them |
W1:153.8 | minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its tiny | instant for eternity. |
W1:156.6 | dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an | instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim? |
W1:157.2 | the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us there an | instant and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal. |
W1:157.9 | The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an | instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you |

W1:164.1 | The present is the only time there is. And so today, this | instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there—not in our |
W1:165.2 | you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from It an | instant. It belongs to you. By It you live. It is your Source of |

W1:168.4 | will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but an | instant later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the world |
W1:168.4 | the light as theirs. What now remains that Heaven be delayed an | instant longer? What remains undone when your forgiveness rests on |

W1:169.13 | Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an | instant and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them |

W1:181.8 | to block the vision of our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an | instant from the misery the focus upon sin will bring and, |

W1:196.12 | no thought of God that does not go with you to help you reach that | instant and to go beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the |
W1:198.13 | the Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an | instant longer. Then are symbols done and everything you ever thought |

W2:234.1 | we have reached again the holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny | instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness. So brief the |
W2:241.1 | today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the | instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has |

W2:271.1 | Each day, each hour, every | instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to |

Tx:27.75 | Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream of your brother's kindnesses | instead of dwelling in your dreams on his mistakes. Select his |
Tx:27.75 | dreams on his mistakes. Select his thoughtfulness to dream about | instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his illusions |
Tx:27.83 | on a guilty world which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts | instead of you. It brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you |
Tx:28.7 | it is gone, for this is what you would be pardoned from. And see | instead the new effects of cause accepted now, with consequences |
Tx:28.27 | I am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to make another choice | instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course |
Tx:28.37 | him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned | instead on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of |
Tx:28.41 | but this you do when you become a passive figure in his dream | instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in dreams is meaningless |
Tx:28.44 | To each he offers his identity, which the whole picture represents, | instead of just a little broken bit which he insisted was himself. |
Tx:28.66 | everything his Father promised him. No secret promise you have made | instead has shaken the Foundation of his home. The winds will blow |
Tx:29.10 | to learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, | instead of looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so |
Tx:29.10 | for you to follow? Is it not because you see it as the road to hell | instead of looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any |
Tx:29.34 | on every vain illusion of the world. And being empty, they received | instead a brother's hand in which completion lay. |
Tx:29.35 | thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn | instead how blessed are you who can release him just by offering him |
Tx:29.36 | him for all his dreams of death—a dream of hope you share with him | instead of dreaming evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem so |
Tx:29.38 | are you to forgive your brother? How much do you desire peace | instead of endless strife and misery and pain? These questions are |
Tx:29.38 | loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and gladly offers peace | instead of this. |
Tx:29.65 | believe because he fears his thoughts and gives them to the toys | instead. And their reality becomes his own because they seem to |
Tx:30.35 | Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate | instead of love. For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus |
Tx:30.57 | made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of fear. | Instead, there is a wish to understand all things created as they |
Tx:30.71 | to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to what is real. | Instead, it merely asks that you respond appropriately to what is not |
Tx:30.91 | dreams but keep their unreality obscure and give to them reality | instead. And Heaven gives no answer to the prayer, nor can a miracle |
Tx:30.92 | he denies reality. And he becomes the willing slave of what he chose | instead. |
Tx:30.94 | There is no false appearance but will fade if you request a miracle | instead. There is no pain from which he is not free if you would have |
Tx:31.28 | the body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which acts | instead of it. A jailer does not follow orders, but enforces orders |
Tx:31.37 | it not needful that he should begin with this, to seek another way | instead? For while he sees a choice where there is none, what power |
Tx:31.38 | is the beginning of acceptance that there is a real alternative | instead. To fight against this step is to defeat your purpose here. |
Tx:31.63 | looking at the cost of keeping guilt because they chose to let it go | instead. |
Tx:31.73 | of change and keep it static and concealed within your mind. Give it | instead to Him Who understands the changes that it needs to let it |
Tx:31.73 | not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the world | instead of as salvation's enemy? |
Tx:31.81 | you are not. And think as well upon the thing that you would be | instead. It is a thing of madness, pain, and death; a thing of |
Tx:31.86 | brought your weakness unto Him, and He has given you His strength | instead. |
Tx:31.88 | the world who see like Him are merely those who chose His strength | instead of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They will redeem |
W1:10.2 | different. This time the idea is introduced with “My thoughts” | instead of “These thoughts” and no link is made overtly with the |
W1:12.2 | the time of the shift to become markedly longer or shorter, but try, | instead, to keep a measured, even tempo throughout. What you see does |

W1:28.6 | a commitment to each of them to let their purpose be revealed to you | instead of placing your own judgment upon them. |
W1:30.2 | attempting to get rid of what we do not like by seeing it outside. | Instead, we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and |
W1:34.6 | I could see peace in this situation | instead of what I now see in it. |
W1:41.5 | idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try | instead to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts |
W1:45.5 | Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do | |
W1:57.5 | [34] I could see peace | instead of this. When I see the world as a place of freedom, I will |
W1:57.5 | a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of God | instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I will |
W1:72.8 | truth and welcome it as Friend. Your chosen savior takes His place | instead. It is your friend; He is your enemy. |
W1:72.9 | stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try to welcome it | instead. Your upside-down perception has been ruinous to your peace |
W1:72.10 | is to end the attack on God's plan for salvation and to accept it | instead. And wherever His plan is accepted, it is accomplished |
W1:72.19 | is an attack on God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it | instead. What is salvation, Father? |
W1:73.17 | a grievance of any kind. This will help you let your grievances go | instead of cherishing them and hiding them in the darkness. |
W1:76.7 | this is so. It is no longer a truth which we would hide. We realize | instead it is a truth which keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, |
W1:78.1 | the while it waits for you in light, but you behold your grievances | instead. |
W1:78.2 | Today we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle | instead. We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to |
W1:89.4 | against you [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you | instead. Seen truly, this offers me a miracle. |
W1:91.3 | it is insanity not to see what is there and to see what is not there | instead. You do not doubt that the body's eyes can see. You do not |
W1:100.5 | to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part | instead of what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you fail to |
W1:103.1 | believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing pain | instead of joy. |
W1:104.1 | receive His gifts. They are not welcomed gladly by a mind which has | instead received the gifts it made where His belong, as substitutes |
W1:104.6 | sought for only in a world of dreams. All this we lay aside and seek | instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what God has |
W1:106.4 | are true. They will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream | instead and last forever, for they come from God to His dear Son, |
W1:108.1 | that one will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear | instead, to take its place. And now we are at peace forever, for the |
W1:110.9 | honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God | instead of what He is be worshiped not today. Deep in your mind the |
W1:122.5 | is the answer! Seek for it no more. You will not find another one | instead. God's plan for your salvation cannot change, nor can it |
W1:125.7 | give ten minutes set apart from listening to the world and choose | instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He speaks from nearer |
W1:129.3 | Is it a loss to find a world | instead where losing is impossible, where love endures forever, hate |
W1:129.6 | This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose | instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits but for |
W1:129.8 | this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world | instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want. |
W1:131.10 | thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true ideas | instead. |
W1:133.1 | We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell | instead on benefits to you. |
W1:134.9 | to dwell on what you think he did, for this is self-deception. Ask | instead, “Should I accuse myself of doing this?” |
W1:135.23 | blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive | instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize. And we are |
W1:135.23 | our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give | instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we say: |
W1:136.4 | beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a real effect on you | instead of one effected by your self. |
W1:138.4 | is true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to choose | instead. There is no contradiction to the truth. |
W1:139.3 | what is life except to be yourself, and what but you can be alive | instead? Who is the doubter? What is it he doubts? Whom does he |
W1:152.10 | ashamed of what we are. And we lift our hearts in true humility | instead to Him Who has created us immaculate, like to Himself in |
W1:155.12 | always been. What way but this could be a path that you would choose | instead? |
W1:161.2 | it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It sees | instead but fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the |
W1:161.9 | scarce refrain from kneeling at his feet. Yet you will take his hand | instead, for you are like him in the sight that sees him thus. |
W1:186.5 | false is true has brought to you. Accept the plan you did not make | instead. Judge not your value to it. If God's Voice assures you that |
W1:186.12 | and unsure of everything? Let not its voice direct you. Hear | instead a certain Voice Which tells you of a function given you by |
W1:187.9 | you will behold will take away all thought of form and leave | instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever |
W1:188.7 | listen. And they urge you gently to accept His Word for what you are | instead of fantasies and shadows. They remind you that you are the |
W1:190.11 | unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to choose our joy | instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God |
W1:190.11 | joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God | instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of the |
W1:192.9 | Therefore hold no one prisoner. Release | instead of bind, for thus are you made free. The way is simple. Every |
W1:192.9 | savior from the prison-house of death. And so you owe him thanks | instead of pain. |
W1:193.10 | tempted to believe that pain is real and death becomes our choice | instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these words when we have |
W1:198.5 | to hear His Voice and learn the simple lessons He would teach, | instead of trying to dismiss His words and substitute your own in |
W1:198.7 | the place where you beheld Their blood, you will perceive a miracle | instead. |
W1:R6.10 | few formal expressions for specific thoughts to aid your practicing. | Instead we give these times of quiet to the Teacher Who instructs in |
W1:210.1 | [190] I choose the joy of God | instead of pain. Pain is my own idea. It is not a thought of God, |
W1:210.1 | His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I choose | instead of what I made. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still |
W2:I.10 | that we need only call to God and all temptations disappear. | Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we |
W2:I.10 | temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. | Instead of prayer, we need but call His Name. Instead of judging, we |
W2:I.10 | but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we need but call His Name. | Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all things be |
W2:223.2 | Our Father, let us see the face of Christ | instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We |

W2:WIS.2 | Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will seek | instead for witnesses to what is true. |
W2:258.1 | in unawareness while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought | instead? God is our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to |
W2:263.1 | and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my choice | instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed creation—all |
W2:265.1 | And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world | instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the celestial |
W2:278.2 | fear into my mind. Today I would not dream. I choose the way to You | instead of madness and instead of fear. For truth is safe and only |
W2:278.2 | I would not dream. I choose the way to You instead of madness and | instead of fear. For truth is safe and only love is sure. |

W2:291.2 | receive the thoughts You offer me. And I accept what comes from You | instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are |
W2:298.1 | of senseless journeys, mad careers, and artificial values. I accept | instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will |
W2:301.1 | forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your world | instead of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for |
W2:E.3 | and for your Self when you retire from the world, to seek Reality | instead. He will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, |
M:4.7 | that where he anticipated grief, he finds a happy light-heartedness | instead; where he thought something was asked of him, he finds a gift |
M:10.5 | He gave himself to Him Whose judgment he has chosen now to trust | instead of his own. Now he makes no mistakes. His Guide is sure. And |
M:11.4 | It is no longer, “Can peace be possible in this world?” but | instead, “Is it not impossible that peace be absent here?” |
