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  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: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:Day39.34 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:Day40.7  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: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  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:5.49  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  however, to continue to look at each subject while you repeat the  idea to yourself. The idea should be repeated quite slowly each time.
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.

W1:44.1 Today we are continuing with the  idea for yesterday, adding another dimension to it. You cannot see in

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

W1:47.9 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

W1:61.3 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

W1:65.6  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

W1:68.11  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

W1:71.13  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.

W1:90.6 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

C:3.10 Everything has birth in an  idea, a thought, a conception. Everything that has been manifested in

C:3.18 You who think this  idea is rife with sentiment, sure to lead you to abandoning logic,

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:7.23  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: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:11.3 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:12.17  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:12.18 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:12.20 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: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  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: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:31.9  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:31.25  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

T2:7.10 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  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  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: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:Day3.11 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:Day3.13  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:Day3.17 Let's go back to the  idea of money when it is seen as a “given.” It is seen as a “given”

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.

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

W1:28.3  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:R1.2 Begin the day by reading the five  ideas, with the comments included. Thereafter, it is not necessary to

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

W1:134.17  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

W1:156.1  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

W1:187.2  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

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

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.

T2:11.15 It is from these two separate  ideas of relationship that the concept of doing battle has emerged.

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

T3:8.11  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  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

T3:9.3  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  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
T3:14.2  ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all ideas of blame into  ideas of benevolence. Thus you might, after this period of
T3:14.5  you would change than you would imagine. You fear where all your new  ideas might take you, and for some great changes may surely await,
T3:15.2  hampers new beginnings of all kinds within the human experience are  ideas that things cannot be different than they once were. The only
T3:15.8  What they are, in truth, are aides to help you birth the new  ideas that will break the patterns of old.
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
T3:18.10 We also now link observance and  ideas. Ideas form in the mind. You are used to thinking that what you
T3:18.10 We also now link observance and ideas.  Ideas form in the mind. You are used to thinking that what you
T3:19.12  for what it is. Just as we are telling you that new beliefs and  ideas will lead to a new reality, old beliefs and ideas led to the
T3:19.12  new beliefs and ideas will lead to a new reality, old beliefs and  ideas led to the old reality, a reality that will still exist for

T3:21.15  aspect that has to do with beliefs is linked to your thoughts and  ideas about the world you live in and the “type” of person you feel
T3:21.15  Whether you have given thought to the interconnection of these  ideas you hold about yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view,
T3:22.1  question in your mind and heart. While you may be beginning to form  ideas of what it means to live by the truth, these ideas may not seem
T3:22.1  beginning to form ideas of what it means to live by the truth, these  ideas may not seem to have much relevance or relationship to the life
T4:1.2  make some uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge your former  ideas and beliefs as have the previous Treatises. But it will do this
T4:1.3  many others have tried and failed to achieve. These are the types of  ideas that will cause discomfort to many of you as you still find it
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
T4:6.6  long as—and this is a crucial as long as—you do not give in to  ideas of separation and disunity.
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
T4:8.3  is the center of your being. The mind of God is the source of all  ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of your ideas.
T4:8.3  the source of all ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of your  ideas.
T4:10.2  which you now are, without learning. Your thoughts might stray to  ideas about experiencing, rather than studying, and yet you will
T4:12.18  take hold in the new. Announce far and wide freedom from the old  ideas, the learned wisdom of old. What could be more invigorating,
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:3.7  as acceptance and denial need go. For if you give credence to the  ideas of contrast, you bring those ideas forward with you into the
D:3.7  For if you give credence to the ideas of contrast, you bring those  ideas forward with you into the new. We let the old go, and with it
D:3.7  forward with you into the new. We let the old go, and with it all  ideas of contrast and opposites, of conflict and opposing forces.
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  them into the elevated Self of form. These are really not new  ideas, however, but rather ideas of who you truly are birthed within
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: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:Day3.50  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:Day10.27 I asked you once before to review your  ideas about the afterlife, a life in which most of you believe

C:29.21 Claiming your  identity and your power to make choices is an act that comes from an
C:30.7  body. The person who knows, truly knows, the simplest truth of the  identity of the Self no longer lives in a dualistic position with
C:31.11  thoughts, you have aggrandized all your thoughts and given them an  identity we have called the ego. Without dislodging your belief in
C:31.11  your belief in your ego as yourself you will never realize your true  identity.
C:31.16  While you continue to live dishonestly, your notion of what your  identity truly is cannot improve.
C:31.18 The truth is your  identity. Honesty is being free of deception. You, who are already
T2:1.1  something regarded as an ability and later as simply part of your  identity. This is what we are going to explore in this Treatise. A
T2:1.1  as an ability. And finally, through experience, it will become your  identity. We will begin by discussing the nature of treasure.
T2:3.3  heart is where the Christ in you abides and that the Christ is your  identity. Remember that it is the Christ in you that learns and
T2:3.4  of learning and experience. You must take on the mantle of your new  identity, your new Self.
T2:3.8 In this same way, then, Christ can be seen as the seed of your  identity. Christ is the continuous and on-going expansion of the same
T2:3.8  thought of love that brought life into existence. Christ is your  identity in the broadest sense imaginable. Christ is your identity
T2:3.8  is your identity in the broadest sense imaginable. Christ is your  identity within the unity that is creation.

T2:6.7  that something can be what it is, a known fact, an object with an  identity, but also part of the ongoing nature of creation. Could this

T2:11.4  ceasing to do battle with the ego. As the ego has been the known  identity of your existence until now, it will, in a sense, be forever
T2:11.4  you until your death. But while your perception of your body as your  identity and your home has given way to an idea of it as a form that
T2:11.7  belief in separation and all that followed from it. Thus your true  identity must be recreated from the belief in unity that is inherent
T2:11.7  that opposes relationship, and the ego is all that opposes your true  identity.
T2:11.14  given a name, as we have given your relationship with your separate  identity the name of ego. Here, we are asking you to choose the one
T2:11.17 I have said that the ego will remain with you as the  identity you have learned since birth until you replace it with new
T2:13.1  of individuality. You have been told to put on a new mantle, a new  identity. What does this mean?
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
T3:12.5  point, our goal was returning to your awareness the truth of your  identity. By changing our goal now, I am assuring you that you have
T3:12.5  I am assuring you that you have become aware of the truth of your  identity. The goal of this Course has been accomplished. However,

T3:21.10  than—and this is a crucial other than—your certainty of your own  identity, the very identity this Course has disproved. This identity
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

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: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:29.54 An  idol is a false impression or a false belief—some form of

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:30.42  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: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: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:22.27  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: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:23.47  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: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: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:26.45 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: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

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

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: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: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:31.31  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 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  you will be dwelling among those in human form. While the house of  illusion still exists, you will continue to encounter those who exist
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
T3:11.4  in the house of illusion does represent a structure. The house of  illusion is a construction meant to shield the personal self from all
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
T3:18.7  in unity observes the truth where once a mind and heart separated by  illusion observed illusion.
T3:18.7  the truth where once a mind and heart separated by illusion observed  illusion.
T3:18.8  of devotion and that you are called to observe the truth rather than  illusion no matter how real illusion may still seem to be.
T3:18.8  called to observe the truth rather than illusion no matter how real  illusion may still seem to be.
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!

T3:22.13  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: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

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 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:20.69  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:22.16 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:22.19  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: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: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:28.40  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:28.50 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

W1:46.1  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

W1:55.6  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

W1:73.1  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

W1:89.5  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

W1:107.2 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

W1:120.3  I am as God created me. I am God's Son. Today I lay aside all sick  illusions of myself and let my Father tell me Who I really am.
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
W1:189.6 Today we pass  illusions as we seek to reach to what is true in us and feel Its
W1:190.3 Pain is a sign  illusions reign in place of truth. It demonstrates God is denied,
W1:190.4  pain, is mad as they and no more to be feared than the insane  illusions which it shields and tries to demonstrate must still be
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
W1:191.4  this one thought is everything set free. In this one truth are all  illusions gone. In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be
W1:194.5  and loss, becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage of  illusions where it runs its pitiless, inevitable course. Then is each

W1:196.11  of God has disappeared. And you can call on Him to save you from  illusions in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray
W1:197.3 The world must thank you when you offer it release from your  illusions. Yet your thanks belong to you as well, for its release can
W1:198.3  away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. All  illusions save this one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is
W1:198.3  save this one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is where  illusions end. Forgiveness is the end of dreams because it is a dream
W1:198.8  could have a thought which builds a bridge to truth which brings  illusions to the other side?
W1:204.1  Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick  illusions, free in God, forever and forever one with Him. I am not
W1:212.1  fill. I seek the function that would set me free from all the vain  illusions of the world. Only the function God has given me can offer
W2:I.9  Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer think  illusions true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide
W2:226.1  for as a goal, it will depart from me. For I have not sought for  illusions to replace the truth.
W2:227.1  I was mistaken and did not affect my own reality at all by my  illusions. Now I give them up and lay them down before the feet of
W2:WS.3  failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets  illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go
W2:240.1  what the form in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own  illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Son
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
W2:WIS.1  It is the means by which the mind is driven mad and seeks to let  illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions
W2:WIS.1  to let illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees  illusions where the truth should be and where it really is. Sin gave
W2:WIS.3 Sin is the home of all  illusions, which but stand for things imagined, issuing from thoughts
W2:272.1  is set in Heaven by Your will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can  illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your
W2:272.2 Today we pass  illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger
W2:274.1  this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter where  illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will
W2:280.1  limitless is free. I can invent imprisonment for him, but only in  illusions, not in truth. No Thought of God has left its Father's
W2:WIHS.1 The Holy Spirit mediates between  illusions and the truth. As He must bridge the gap between reality

W2:WICR.3 Creation is the opposite of all  illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of
W2:322.1 I sacrifice  illusions, nothing more. And as illusions go, I find the gifts
W2:322.1 I sacrifice illusions, nothing more. And as  illusions go, I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me

W2:WIE.5  one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light, the altar to  illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace will be restored
W2:332.1 The ego makes  illusions. Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. Truth

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: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: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.

Tx:6.46  He made you part of Him. That is why attack within the Kingdom is  impossible. You made the ego without love, and so it does not love
Tx:6.52  It is curious that the perfect must now be perfected. In fact, it is  impossible. You must remember, however, that when you put yourselves

Tx:7.17  the intimate connection of learning and memory. Learning is  impossible without memory, since it cannot be consistent unless
Tx:7.26  not what you are. This is so contradictory that it is clearly  impossible. It is therefore a lesson which you cannot really learn,
Tx:7.28  interests are possible, and therefore you have accepted the  impossible as true. How is that different from saying that you are
Tx:7.54  the Sonship only as one, you can perceive it as fragmented. It is  impossible, however, for you to see something in part of it that
Tx:7.70  feel deprived. This is because denial is as total as love. It is as  impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to love it in part.
Tx:7.94  The full appreciation of its self-fullness makes selfishness  impossible and extension inevitable. That is why there is perfect
Tx:7.96  God's Will is meaningful only to the insane. In truth it is  impossible. Your self-fullness is as boundless as God's. Like His, it

Tx:9.64  what you have created is impossible. But remember that it is as  impossible for God. The law of creation is that you love your
Tx:9.67  wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be  impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at last

Tx:10.50  is, can you finally learn to distinguish the possible from the  impossible and the false from the true. According to the ego's

Tx:11.47  learn. The learning situation in which you placed yourself is  impossible, and in this situation you clearly require a special
Tx:11.75 The ego is not a traitor to God to Whom treachery is  impossible, but it is a traitor to you who believe you have been

Tx:13.1  and which therefore no one in the world knows. It would indeed be  impossible to be in the world with this knowledge. For the mind
Tx:13.16  so you learn that it is true for you. Remember always that it is  impossible to condemn the Son of God in part. Those whom you see as

Tx:13.79  forget the love of God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite  impossible that He could ever let His Son drop from His loving mind
Tx:13.80  knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes  impossible. Why would you struggle so frantically to anticipate all
Tx:14.1  God Himself has placed it. If you would but listen and learn how  impossible this is! Do not endow Him with attributes you understand.
Tx:14.26  viewpoints of what the “unknowing” are. To God, unknowing is  impossible. It is therefore not a point of view at all but merely a

Tx:14.34  in the communication that God Himself wills with His Son is quite  impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows constantly
Tx:14.39  can no longer stand. How long can contradiction stand when its  impossible nature is clearly revealed? What disappears in light is
Tx:14.48  from elsewhere, not from here. From the world's viewpoint, this is  impossible. You have experienced lack of competition among your
Tx:14.54  meaning, and the underlying lack of content makes a cohesive system  impossible. Separation therefore remains the ego's chosen condition.
Tx:14.55 It is  impossible to remember God in secret and alone. For remembering Him
Tx:14.61  for it is nothing more than a condition in which seeing becomes  impossible. You who have not yet brought all of the darkness you have
Tx:14.67  He cannot compel His Son to turn to Him and remain Himself. It is  impossible that God lose His Identity, for if He did, you would lose
Tx:14.68  so to remain, establish for yourself your guiltlessness? That is  impossible. But be sure that you are willing to acknowledge that it
Tx:14.68  But be sure that you are willing to acknowledge that it is  impossible. It is only because you think that you can run some little
Tx:14.75  as it is His. You think you know Him not only because, alone, it is  impossible to know Him. Yet see the mighty works that He will do
Tx:14.75  you, and you must be convinced you did them through Him. It is  impossible to deny the Source of effects so powerful they could not

Tx:15.45  past experience is the basis on which you judge. Judgment becomes  impossible without the past, for without it you do not understand
Tx:15.54  God gave to it. Give to it any meaning apart from His, and it is  impossible to understand it. Every brother God loves as He loves you
Tx:15.56 It is  impossible to use one relationship at the expense of another and
Tx:15.56  at the expense of another and not suffer guilt. And it is equally  impossible to condemn part of a relationship and find peace within
Tx:15.60  In the world of scarcity, love has no meaning, and peace is  impossible. For gain and loss are both accepted, and so no one is
Tx:15.61  Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is  impossible that he be bound or limited in any way. In this instant,
Tx:15.66 It is  impossible for the ego to enter into any relationship without anger,
Tx:15.71  accept the guilt and sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes  impossible, for the ego believes that to forgive another is to lose
Tx:15.77  this without fear. It is through the holy instant that what seems  impossible is accomplished, making it evident that it is not
Tx:15.77  impossible is accomplished, making it evident that it is not  impossible. In the holy instant, guilt holds no attraction, since
Tx:15.84  because it is His function. Leave, then, what seems to you to be  impossible to Him Who knows it must be possible because it is the
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:15.88 It is  impossible to divide your strength between Heaven and hell, God and

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:18.35  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:18.46  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:21.72  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:30.86  shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this become  impossible, for your agreement makes interpretation stabilize and

Tx:10.1 Either God or the ego is  insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you

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: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:17.49  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:18.88  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: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:25.55  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:15.53  having always known you exactly as He knows you now. The holy  instant parallels His knowing by bringing all perception out of the
Tx:15.53  God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the holy  instant, free of the past, you see that love is in you, and you have
Tx:15.54 All your relationships are blessed in the holy  instant because the blessing is not limited. In the holy instant, the
Tx:15.54  in the holy instant because the blessing is not limited. In the holy  instant, the Sonship gains as one. And united in your blessing, it
Tx:15.54  Holy Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy  instant, you unite directly with God, and all your brothers join in
Tx:15.55  love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the holy  instant, there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For
Tx:15.55  there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For the holy  instant reaches to eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is only
Tx:15.57  as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In the holy  instant, we share our faith in God's Son because we recognize
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

W1:136.21  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

W1:157.2  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
W1:157.9  Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that  instant and will surely know again.
W1:159.10  can be made from death to life, from hopelessness to hope. Let us an  instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision
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
W1:167.10  form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an  instant where the thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself.
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
W1:169.12  timelessness and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an  instant back to bless the world? How could you finally attain to it
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
W1:181.3  while. We do not care about our future goals, and what we saw an  instant previous has no concern for us within this interval of time
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,
W1:181.10  we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This  instant is our willing one with His.
W1:182.8 When you are still an  instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease
W1:182.8  He calls to you that you will not resist Him longer. In that  instant, He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in

W1:194.3 In no one  instant is depression felt or pain experienced or loss perceived. In
W1:194.3  is depression felt or pain experienced or loss perceived. In no one  instant sorrow can be set upon a throne and worshiped faithfully. In

W1:194.5  from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the  instant in which time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs
W1:194.5  where it runs its pitiless, inevitable course. Then is each  instant, which was slave to time, transformed into a holy instant

W1:196.11  for you until the time when it can kill at last. Yet in this  instant is the time as well in which salvation comes. For fear of God
W1:196.11  in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the  instant may be soon—today. Step back from fear and make advance to
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

W1:200.10  up and on toward Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an  instant longer now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can
W1:202.1  I will be still a moment and go home. Why would I choose to stay an  instant more where I do not belong, when God Himself has given me His
W2:227.1  feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy  instant of release. Father, I know my will is one with Yours.

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
W2:270.1  dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining  instant more of time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to
W2:271.1 Each day, each hour, every  instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to

W2:WIRW.5  of time when it has served His purpose. Now He waits but that one  instant more for God to take His final step, and time has
W2:WIRW.5  with it as it goes and leaving but the Truth to be Itself. That  instant is our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we

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:29.65  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:30.92  he denies reality. And he becomes the willing slave of what he chose  instead.

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
