Tx:13.65 | You are accustomed to using guiltlessness merely to offset the | pain of guilt and do not look upon it as having value in itself. |
Tx:13.66 | There is no compromise that you can make with guilt and escape the | pain which only guiltlessness allays. Learning is living here, as |

Tx:14.9 | innocence nor realize that only in this exchange can freedom from | pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn need teaching, not |
Tx:14.10 | this points straight to Heaven and to the peace of God. There is no | pain, no trial, no fear that teaching this can fail to overcome. The |
Tx:14.41 | of God will take them gently in and cover all their sense of | pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's Love. |
Tx:14.69 | by offering you a miracle. Miracles are for you. And every fear or | pain or trial you have has been undone. He has brought all of them |
Tx:15.4 | the fear of death. Yet if death were thought of merely as an end to | pain, would it be feared? We have seen this strange paradox in the |
Tx:15.49 | relationship under His care and be sure that it will not result in | pain if you offer Him your willingness to have it serve no need but |
Tx:15.103 | when you have accepted it with me, you will give it with me. All | pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in our relationship, |

Tx:15.103 | will be brought to us and disappear in our presence, and without | pain there can be no sacrifice. And without sacrifice, there love |
Tx:16.1 | does not relate through the ego to another ego. He does not join in | pain, knowing that healing pain is not accomplished by delusional |
Tx:16.1 | ego to another ego. He does not join in pain, knowing that healing | pain is not accomplished by delusional attempts to enter into it and |
Tx:16.21 | He came. And the results have been to bring peace where there was | pain, and suffering has disappeared, to be replaced by joy. |
Tx:16.43 | it is necessary first to realize that it involves a great amount of | pain. Anxiety, despair, guilt, and attack all enter into it, broken |
Tx:16.65 | before only because you realize it is delay and that escape from | pain is really possible. Find hope and comfort rather than despair in |
Tx:16.70 | to reenact the past and change it. Imagined slights, remembered | pain, past disappointments, perceived injustices, and deprivations |
Tx:17.3 | truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the power that heals all | pain arises from your wish to retain some aspects of reality for |
Tx:17.77 | “something else” produced was sorrow and depression, sickness and | pain, darkness and dim imaginings of terror, cold fantasies of fear |
Tx:18.20 | to you.] Your special relationship will remain, not as a source of | pain and guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. It will not be |
Tx:18.63 | one responsibility. Atonement is not welcomed by those who prefer | pain and destruction. |
Tx:18.65 | any single instant, the attraction of guilt would be experienced as | pain and nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction |
Tx:19.50 | scrap of evil and of sin which they can find, losing none of them on | pain of death and laying them respectfully before their lord and |
Tx:19.52 | to allay their savage pangs of hunger. For they are frantic with the | pain of fear and would avert the punishment of him who sends them |
Tx:19.57 | can give you pleasure, you will also believe that it can bring you | pain. |
Tx:19.58 | yourself, and to limit the happiness that you would have calls upon | pain to fill your meager store and make your lives complete. This |
Tx:19.62 | it has no hope of pleasure. But neither can it bring you fear of | pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit asks, and this He |
Tx:19.62 | no hope of pleasure. But neither can it bring you fear of pain. | Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit asks, and this He |
Tx:19.63 | communion, not the feast of fear. You want salvation, not the | pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not a little mound of |
Tx:19.69 | as itself. The body can bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither | pain nor joy. It is a means and not an end. It has no purpose of |
Tx:19.71 | It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not find | pain. It is essential that this relationship be understood, for it is |
Tx:19.71 | of equating yourself with the body, which is the invitation to | pain. For it invites fear to enter and become your purpose. The |
Tx:19.71 | fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will share the | pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the |
Tx:19.71 | all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the same as | pain. |
Tx:19.72 | whole illusion of its existence. This, then, is the attraction of | pain. Ruled by this perception, the body becomes the servant of pain, |
Tx:19.72 | of pain. Ruled by this perception, the body becomes the servant of | pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the idea that pain is |
Tx:19.72 | the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the idea that | pain is pleasure. It is this idea that underlies all of the ego's |
Tx:19.74 | And to convince you this is possible, it bids the body search for | pain in attack upon another, calling it pleasure and offering it to |
Tx:19.75 | that yielding to the attraction of guilt is the escape from | pain. Not one but must regard the body as himself, without which he |
Tx:19.103 | This is your brother, crucified by sin, and waiting for release from | pain. Would you not offer him forgiveness, when only he can offer it |
Tx:19.109 | so will his offering be seen and so received. The crucified give | pain because they are in pain. But the redeemed give joy because they |
Tx:19.109 | be seen and so received. The crucified give pain because they are in | pain. But the redeemed give joy because they have been healed of |
Tx:19.109 | pain. But the redeemed give joy because they have been healed of | pain. Everyone gives as he receives, but he must choose what it will |
Tx:20.1 | the celebration of his release. For Easter is the sign of peace, not | pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the |
Tx:20.15 | he would be. He will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his | pain. And gladly will you walk the way of innocence together, singing |
Tx:20.28 | results as this world sees them—sickness and death and misery and | pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees |
Tx:20.43 | And merely by remembering them, the laws that held you prisoner to | pain and death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's |
Tx:21.5 | There is no need to learn through | pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are remembered |
Tx:21.6 | choice is that or nothing. They hate the world they learned through | pain. And everything they think is in it serves to remind them that |
Tx:21.14 | the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from | pain, and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only |
Tx:21.64 | instead without the other being blessed by it and healed of | pain. |
Tx:22.16 | the way to lose the misery the other brings. Every illusion carries | pain and suffering in the dark folds of the heavy garments with which |
Tx:22.54 | but will be used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all | pain, regardless of its form. Neither of you alone can serve at all. |
Tx:22.62 | another without yourself or hurt yourself without the other feeling | pain. And this belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value except |
Tx:23.30 | for love. This is the “magic” that will cure all of your | pain; the missing factor in your madness that makes it “sane.” This |
Tx:23.41 | then it must follow that you do not always recognize the source of | pain. Attack in any form is equally destructive. Its purpose does |
Tx:23.52 | forms you do not recognize, the signs you know. There is a stab of | pain, a twinge of guilt, and above all, a loss of peace. This you |
Tx:24.13 | will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you | pain. Here is a goal that would defeat salvation and thus run counter |
Tx:24.39 | in reality: when peace is not with you entirely and when you suffer | pain of any kind, you have beheld some sin within your brother and |
Tx:24.41 | much it delicately offers the hope of peace and the escape from | pain—in which you suffer not your condemnation. In dreams, effect |
Tx:24.52 | to perceive what is not there and all belief God's Son can suffer | pain because he sees himself as he is not. |
Tx:24.58 | God for you must be that He has given you a part of Him to save from | pain and give you happiness. And never doubt but that your |
Tx:25.42 | believed to be without the power to save what He created from the | pain of hell. But in the love he shows himself is God made free to |
Tx:25.50 | the world depends. The magic of the world can seem to hide the | pain of sin from sinners and deceive with glitter and with guile. Yet |
Tx:26.16 | receive correction for all your problems. You will not keep one, for | pain in any form you will not want. And you will see each little hurt |
Tx:26.64 | is redemption laid, for healing is not needed where there is no | pain or suffering. Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any kind. |
Tx:26.74 | strikes, to be perceived as “good” some day but now in form of | pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the |
Tx:27.2 | sacrifice is his made manifest and shown to be his own. But every | pain you suffer do you see as proof that he is guilty of attack. Thus |
Tx:27.3 | Whenever you consent to suffer | pain, to be deprived, unfairly treated, or in need of anything, you |
Tx:27.3 | offers you to give to him a picture of yourself in which there is no | pain and no reproach at all. And what was martyred to his guilt |
Tx:27.5 | has not been used for purpose of attack and therefore never suffered | pain at all. It witnesses to the eternal truth that you cannot be |
Tx:27.17 | Your body can be means to teach that it has never suffered | pain because of him. And in its healing can it offer him mute |
Tx:27.19 | from guilt upon your brother and yourself. Your healing saves him | pain as well as you, and you are healed because you wished him well. |
Tx:27.21 | then fears healing? Only those to whom their brother's sacrifice and | pain are seen to represent their own serenity. Their helplessness and |
Tx:27.21 | and weakness represent the grounds on which they justify his | pain. The constant sting of guilt he suffers serves to prove that he |
Tx:27.21 | serves to prove that he is slave but they are free. The constant | pain they suffer demonstrates that they are free because they hold |
Tx:27.39 | peace and offer joy? And which can bring escape from all the | pain of which this world is made?” Whatever form the question takes, |
Tx:27.54 | | Pain demonstrates the body must be real. It is a loud, obscuring |
Tx:27.54 | what the Holy Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness. | Pain compels attention, drawing it away from Him and focusing upon |
Tx:27.54 | which unites all those who share in it within itself. Pleasure and | pain are equally unreal, because their purpose cannot be achieved. |
Tx:27.55 | Sin shifts from | pain to pleasure and again to pain. For either witness is the same |
Tx:27.55 | Sin shifts from pain to pleasure and again to | pain. For either witness is the same and carries but one message: |
Tx:27.55 | you can be hurt. You can have pleasure, too, but only at the cost of | pain.” These witnesses are joined by many more. Each one seems |
Tx:27.55 | Except for this, the witnesses of sin are all alike. Call pleasure | pain, and it will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the |
Tx:27.55 | of sin are all alike. Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt. Call | pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure will be felt no |
Tx:27.55 | Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the | pain behind the pleasure will be felt no more. Sin's witnesses but |
Tx:27.58 | the effects of life it brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and | pain has vanished. Yet a miracle speaks not but for itself, but what |
Tx:27.59 | the One Who sends forth miracles to bless the world, a tiny stab of | pain, a little worldly pleasure, and the throes of death itself are |
Tx:27.68 | you were sure—of all the many causes you perceived as bringing | pain and suffering to you, your guilt was not among them. Nor did you |
Tx:27.76 | be seen in light of charity and kindness offered you. And let no | pain disturb your dream of deep appreciation for his gifts to you. |
Tx:27.86 | still is this the truth. Whatever seems to be the cause of any | pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. For you would not |
Tx:27.87 | been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you | pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this |
Tx:27.87 | one answer takes away the cause of every form of sorrow and of | pain. The form affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you |
Tx:28.27 | of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to every dream of | pain and suffering, of sin and guilt. They are the dream's |
Tx:28.31 | you separated in a body which you see as if it were the cause of | pain. |
Tx:28.32 | The cause of | pain is separation, not the body, which is only its effect. Yet |
Tx:28.37 | on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of dreams of | pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will suffer |
Tx:28.37 | of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will suffer | pain with him because that is your wish. And you become a figure in |
Tx:28.37 | because that is your wish. And you become a figure in his dream of | pain, as he in yours. So do you both become illusions and without |
Tx:28.48 | of hate and malice, bitterness and death, of sin and suffering, [of] | pain and loss, that makes them real. Unshared, they are perceived as |
Tx:28.54 | nor made itself to be what it is not. It does not seek to make of | pain a joy and look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not |
Tx:28.58 | Sickness is anger taken out upon the body, so that it will suffer | pain. It is the obvious effect of what was made in secret, in |
Tx:29.12 | a battleground. It has been futile to demand escape from sin and | pain of what was made to serve the function of retaining sin and |
Tx:29.12 | pain of what was made to serve the function of retaining sin and | pain. For pain and sin are one illusion, as are hate and fear, attack |
Tx:29.12 | what was made to serve the function of retaining sin and pain. For | pain and sin are one illusion, as are hate and fear, attack and guilt |
Tx:29.12 | wherever they are not. Why are you not rejoicing? You are free of | pain and sickness, misery and loss, and all effects of hatred and |
Tx:29.12 | misery and loss, and all effects of hatred and attack. No more is | pain your friend and guilt your god, and you should welcome the |
Tx:29.34 | are joined in innocence. These are not hands that grasp in dreams of | pain. They hold no sword, for they have left their hold on every vain |
Tx:29.38 | much do you desire peace instead of endless strife and misery and | pain? These questions are the same in different form. Forgiveness |
Tx:29.43 | happiness His answer brings. Seek not outside yourself. For all your | pain comes simply from a futile search for what you want, insisting |
Tx:29.57 | and as loving as his Father, come to hate a little while, to suffer | pain, and finally to die. |
Tx:29.59 | more intelligence, more wealth, or even more affliction and more | pain. But more of something is an idol for. And when one fails, |
Tx:29.69 | you. For beneath your hope that it will save you lie the guilt and | pain of self-betrayal and uncertainty, so deep and bitter that the |
Tx:30.1 | lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and out of | pain and fear. They are not new to you, but they are more ideas than |
Tx:30.58 | are not wanted there, for guilt is understood as the sole cause of | pain in any form. No one is tempted by its vain appeal, for suffering |
Tx:30.65 | it. What happiness have you sought here that did not bring you | pain? What moment of content has not been bought at fearful price in |
Tx:30.67 | except the “gift” of guilt. Not one was bought except at cost of | pain, nor was it ever paid by you alone. |

Tx:31.30 | to the snarling dogs of hate and evil, sickness and attack, of | pain and age, of grief and suffering. Here are the thoughts of |
Tx:31.81 | upon the thing that you would be instead. It is a thing of madness, | pain, and death; a thing of treachery and black despair, of failing |
Tx:31.87 | choice before, you now can make a better one and thus escape all | pain which what you chose before has brought to you. In every |
Tx:31.87 | says, “My brother, choose again.” He would not leave one source of | pain unhealed nor any image left to veil the truth. [He would remove |
Tx:31.92 | regardless of the images you see. What you behold as sickness and as | pain, as weakness and as suffering and loss is but temptation to |
Tx:31.92 | defenseless and in hell. Yield not to this, and you will see all | pain in every form wherever it occurs but disappear as mists before |
Tx:31.93 | of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you will forget the | pain and sorrow that you saw before. Yet this a vision is which you |
W1:5.1 | used with any person, situation, or event you think is causing you | pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you believe is the cause of |
W1:20.2 | and you cannot distinguish between joy and sorrow, pleasure and | pain, love and fear. You are now learning how to tell them apart. And |
W1:38.2 | Your holiness, then, can remove all | pain, can end all sorrow, and can solve all problems. It can do so in |
W1:41.2 | you and out into the whole world. It will cure all sorrow and | pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought |
W1:56.2 | How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? | Pain, illness, loss, age, and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes |
W1:58.6 | God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or | pain because of who I am. My Father supports me, protects me, and |
W1:62.3 | and fatigue from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and | pain. It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son |
W1:78.7 | will review his faults, the difficulties you have had with him, the | pain he caused you, his neglect, and all the little and the larger |
W1:95.1 | creation—weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with | pain. |
W1:96.7 | Yet would you have God's plan for the release of His dear Son bring | pain to him and fail to set him free? |
W1:97.6 | hour from your hands and carry them around this aching world, where | pain and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one open mind |
W1:98.6 | Here is an offer guaranteeing you your full release from | pain of every kind and joy the world does not contain. You can |
W1:99.4 | means by which they are undone without attack and with no touch of | pain? What but a thought of God could be this plan by which the never |
W1:99.5 | Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see—on sin and | pain and death, on grief and separation, and on loss. Yet does He |
W1:99.9 | in which your freedom lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of | pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for |
W1:101.2 | for they cannot both be true. The sinful warrant only death and | pain, and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them |
W1:101.3 | If sin is real, salvation must be | pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if |
W1:101.3 | If sin is real, salvation must be pain. | Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if sin is |
W1:101.6 | there is no sin, and suffering is causeless. Joy is just, and | pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself. |
W1:102.2 | we try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to realize that | pain is purposeless, without a cause, and with no power to accomplish |
W1:103.1 | so, believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing | pain instead of joy. |
W1:103.6 | replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of | pain. God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster this expectation |
W1:107.4 | could be no fear, no doubt, and no attack. When truth has come, all | pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead |
W1:107.6 | of perfect constancy and love which does not falter in the face of | pain but looks beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift of |
W1:109.3 | thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and | pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There |
W1:109.5 | In Him you have no cares and no concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no | pain, no fear of future, and no past regrets. In timelessness you |
W1:121.2 | mind is sad, without the hope of respite and release from | pain. It suffers and abides in misery, peering about in darkness, |
W1:124.5 | We see it in appearances of | pain, and pain gives way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the |
W1:124.5 | We see it in appearances of pain, and | pain gives way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the |
W1:128.4 | is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one instant of delay and | pain, one moment of uncertainty and doubt. The worthless offer |
W1:132.4 | the world with all your fears, your doubts and miseries, your | pain and tears, and all your sorrows press upon it and keep it a |
W1:132.11 | is the salvation of the world? To free the world from every kind of | pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no world |
W1:133.14 | is far more than merely letting you make choices easily and without | pain. Heaven Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which |
W1:134.10 | render choosing meaningful and keep your mind as free of guilt and | pain as God Himself intended it to be and as it is in truth. It is |
W1:135.10 | from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the body all the | pain that comes from the conception of the mind as limited and |
W1:135.19 | Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He would never offer | pain to you. But your defenses did not let you see His loving |
W1:136.9 | from you, and so you must be separate from the truth. You suffer | pain because the body does, and in this pain are you made one with |
W1:136.9 | from the truth. You suffer pain because the body does, and in this | pain are you made one with it. Thus is your “true” identity preserved |
W1:136.19 | there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of | pain or pleasure. No response at all is in the mind to what the body |
W1:137.10 | help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused you | pain. And as you let yourself be healed, you see all those around you |
W1:137.13 | we may carry healing to the world, exchanging curse for blessing, | pain for joy, and separation for the peace of God. Is not a minute of |
W1:138.10 | as a wholly worthless thing, a but imagined source of guilt and | pain? Who hesitates to make a choice like this? And shall we hesitate |
W1:R4.12 | the world from darkness to the light, from grief to joy, from | pain to peace, from sin to holiness. God offers thanks to you who |
W1:151.10 | and the truth. He will remove all faith that you have placed in | pain, disaster, suffering, and loss. He gives you vision which can |
W1:152.1 | No one can suffer loss unless it be his own decision. No one suffers | pain except his choice elects this state for him. No one can grieve |
W1:152.2 | If you have the gift of everything, can loss be real? Can | pain be part of peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter |
W1:166.14 | suffer anything. You are entrusted with the world's release from | pain. |
W1:167.2 | is not perfect joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety, and suffering and | pain, even a little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the |
W1:R5.8 | are overcome. We walk together. I must understand uncertainty and | pain, although I know they have no meaning. Yet a savior must remain |
W1:R5.9 | am renewed each time a brother learns there is a way from misery and | pain. I am reborn each time a brother's mind turns to the light in |
W1:183.3 | can hear; the sorrowful cast off their mourning, and the tears of | pain are dried as happy laughter comes to bless the world. |
W1:187.6 | the many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as well at | pain and loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty, starvation and |
W1:189.2 | your praises as it keeps you safe from every form of danger and of | pain. It offers you a warm and gentle home in which to stay a while. |
W1:190.1 | | Pain is a wrong perspective. When it is experienced in any form, it |
W1:190.1 | is no form it takes which will not disappear if seen aright. For | pain proclaims God cruel. How could it be real in any form? It |
W1:190.2 | | Pain is but witness to the Son's mistakes in what he thinks he is. It |
W1:190.3 | | Pain is a sign illusions reign in place of truth. It demonstrates God |
W1:190.3 | as mad, and seen as traitor to Himself. If God is real, there is no | pain. If pain is real, there is no God. For vengeance is not part of |
W1:190.3 | and seen as traitor to Himself. If God is real, there is no pain. If | pain is real, there is no God. For vengeance is not part of love. And |
W1:190.3 | For vengeance is not part of love. And fear, denying love and using | pain to prove that God is dead, has shown that death is victor over |
W1:190.4 | a madman could conceive of them as cause of anything? Their witness, | pain, is mad as they and no more to be feared than the insane |
W1:190.5 | It is your thoughts alone that cause you | pain. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any |
W1:190.6 | of your mind its own inheritance and keep it as a hospital for | pain, a sickly place where living things must come at last to die? |
W1:190.7 | The world may seem to cause you | pain. And yet the world, as causeless, has no power to cause. As an |
W1:190.8 | | Pain is the thought of evil taking form and working havoc in your |
W1:190.8 | the thought of evil taking form and working havoc in your holy mind. | Pain is the ransom you have gladly paid not to be free. In pain is |
W1:190.8 | mind. Pain is the ransom you have gladly paid not to be free. In | pain is God denied the Son He loves. In pain does fear appear to |
W1:190.8 | paid not to be free. In pain is God denied the Son He loves. In | pain does fear appear to triumph over love and time replace eternity |
W1:190.8 | rules and little joys give way before the onslaught of the savage | pain that waits to end all joy in misery. |
W1:190.9 | you seek to hide your holiness. Here will you understand there is no | pain. Here does the joy of God belong to you. |
W1:190.10 | the lesson which contains all of salvation's power. It is this: | pain is illusion; joy reality. Pain is but sleep; joy is awakening. |
W1:190.10 | all of salvation's power. It is this: pain is illusion; joy reality. | Pain is but sleep; joy is awakening. Pain is deception; joy alone is |
W1:190.10 | pain is illusion; joy reality. Pain is but sleep; joy is awakening. | Pain is deception; joy alone is truth. |
W1:190.11 | ever can be made—we choose between illusions and the truth, or | pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our gratitude unto our Teacher |
W1:190.11 | Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to choose our joy instead of | pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God instead of |
W1:191.8 | I am the holy Son of God Himself. I cannot suffer, cannot be in | pain; I cannot lose, nor can I fail to do all that salvation asks. |
W1:191.11 | hopes and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep, and suffer | pain, hear this: all power is given you in earth and Heaven. There is |
W1:191.13 | the mercy of the world until you find it for yourself. They suffer | pain until you have denied its hold on you. They die till you accept |
W1:192.6 | vision and the gift of sight no sacrifice was asked, and only | pain was lifted from a sick and tortured mind. |
W1:192.9 | from the prison-house of death. And so you owe him thanks instead of | pain. |
W1:193.9 | the words the Holy Spirit speaks in all your tribulations, all your | pain, all suffering regardless of its forms. These are the words with |
W1:193.10 | we not learn to say these words when we are tempted to believe that | pain is real and death becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we |
W1:193.11 | someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should learn? Does | pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be sure the lesson is |
W1:193.11 | And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in the mind which sees the | pain through eyes the mind directs. |
W1:193.12 | learn the simple lessons Heaven's Teacher sets before you that all | pain may disappear and God may be remembered by His Son? |
W1:194.3 | In no one instant is depression felt or | pain experienced or loss perceived. In no one instant sorrow can be |
W1:194.3 | next one given Him already, is a time of your release from sadness, | pain and even death itself. |
W1:194.5 | and what is present, freed from its bequest of grief and misery, of | pain and loss, becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage |
W1:194.7 | to the loving hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause him | pain or bring experience of loss to him? What can he fear? And what |
W1:194.7 | regard except with love? For he who has escaped all fear of future | pain has found his way to present peace and certainty of care the |
W1:195.2 | in gratitude to One Who offers you the certain means whereby all | pain is healed and suffering replaced with laughter and with |
W1:195.5 | and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming loss or feel apparent | pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the way of hatred and |
W1:198.11 | fails to hide an unforgiving thought. Nor can there be a form of | pain forgiveness cannot heal. |
W1:200.1 | you to find except the peace of God, unless you seek for misery and | pain. |
W1:200.2 | being saved by what can only hurt, of making peace of chaos, joy of | pain, and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to win through losing, |
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 |
W2:I.1 | are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of | pain and go to enter peace. Now we begin to reach the goal this |
W2:222.1 | actions, offers me Its thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all | pain. He covers me with kindness and with care and holds in love the |
W2:241.1 | its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass away and | pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set |
W2:245.1 | and lonely and afraid. I give Your peace to those who suffer | pain or grieve for loss or think they are bereft of hope and |
W2:248.1 | suffers is not part of me. What grieves is not myself. What is in | pain is but illusion in my mind. What dies was never living in |
W2:268.2 | nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free of | pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And |
W2:281.2 | I will not hurt myself today. For I am far beyond all | pain. My Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. And I |
W2:284.1 | Loss is not loss when properly perceived. | Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all. And |
W2:284.2 | Father, what You have given cannot hurt, and grief and | pain must be impossible. Let me not fail to trust in You today, |
W2:285.1 | the instant I accept my holiness. For what would be the use of | pain to me, what purpose would my suffering fulfill, and how would |
W2:289.2 | loveliness You planned to be the end of all his dreams and all his | pain? |
W2:WIRW.2 | a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of | pain and sorrow heard, for nothing here remains outside forgiveness. |
W2:293.1 | all my past mistakes oppressing it and showing me distorted forms of | pain? Yet in the present, love is obvious and its effects apparent. |
W2:295.1 | He may offer peace of mind to me and take away all terror and all | pain. And as they are removed from me, the dreams that seemed to |
W2:301.1 | Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer | pain or feel I am abandoned and unneeded in the world. This is my |

W2:323.1 | let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of | pain and giving him Your own eternal joy. Such is the “sacrifice” You |
W2:330.1 | function. Why should we attack our minds and give them images of | pain? Why should we teach them they are powerless when God holds out |
W2:331.1 | Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within a world of | pain and cruelty. How could I think that Love has left Itself? There |
W2:339.1 | No one desires | pain. But he can think that pain is pleasure. No one would avoid his |
W2:339.1 | No one desires pain. But he can think that | pain is pleasure. No one would avoid his happiness. But he can think |

Tx:1.28 | 25. Miracles are | part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness which, when completed, |
Tx:1.29 | I stand at the end in case you fail temporarily. The purpose of my | part in the Atonement is the canceling out of all lacks of love which |
Tx:1.30 | really means “undoing.” The undoing of fear is an essential | part of the Atonement value of miracles. |
Tx:1.31 | to the recognition of your original state, you naturally become | part of the Atonement yourself. As you share my inability to |
Tx:1.50 | 36. Christ-controlled miracles are | part of the Atonement, but Christ-guidance is personal [and leads to |
Tx:2.15 | a fearful dream, he may initially interpret the light itself as a | part of his own dream and be afraid of it. However, when he awakens |
Tx:2.45 | only the first step in correcting this kind of distortion. It alters | part of the misperception but not all of it. It does recognize, |
Tx:2.50 | already provided and does not involve any effort at all on their | part. Their egocentricity usually misperceives this as personally |
Tx:2.73 | to correct it. You would not tolerate insane behavior on your | part and would hardly advance the excuse that you could not help it. |
Tx:2.77 | conflicted behavior, which is intolerable to yourself because the | part of the will that wants to do something else is outraged. |
Tx:2.93 | you that you do not guard your thoughts carefully except for a small | part of the day and somewhat inconsistently even then. You may feel |
Tx:2.101 | God created are His Sons, then every Soul must be an integral | part of the whole Sonship. You do not find the concept that the whole |
Tx:2.103 | Any | part of the Sonship can believe in error or incompleteness if he so |
Tx:2.111 | there is no reason for fear to remain with him. This is his | part in the Atonement. |
Tx:3.19 | disappears, and level confusion vanishes. The Son of God is | part of the Holy Trinity, but the Trinity itself is One. There is |
Tx:3.42 | conflict arises from the same basis as interpersonal conflict. One | part of the psyche perceives another part as on a different level and |
Tx:3.42 | as interpersonal conflict. One part of the psyche perceives another | part as on a different level and does not understand it. This makes |

Tx:3.57 | of shifting and changing focus. Evaluation is an essential | part of perception, because judgments must be made for selection. |
Tx:3.58 | can only be known. All of it is equally true, and knowing any | part of it is to know all of it. Only perception involves partial |
Tx:4.15 | is indeed a fearful attempt, but to see it as it is. You are | part of reality, which stands unchanged beyond the reach of your ego |
Tx:4.27 | need they feel to protect them. This is because they regard them as | part of themselves. No one disowns something he regards as a very |
Tx:4.27 | of themselves. No one disowns something he regards as a very real | part of himself. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to His Souls: |
Tx:4.39 | be understood only within the thought system of which they are a | part. That is why psychologists are concentrating increasingly on the |
Tx:4.55 | sane mind is perfectly conscious, is ruthlessly banished from the | part of the mind which the ego rules. The ego is desperate because it |
Tx:4.66 | of Christ means nothing more than the end of the ego's rule over | part of the minds of men and the healing of the mind. I was created |
Tx:4.71 | mind becomes actually dazed. Being told by the ego that it is really | part of the body and that the body is its protector, the mind is also |
Tx:4.89 | charge of the whole Atonement. This is only because I completed my | part in it as a man and can now complete it through other men. My |
Tx:4.94 | part of it splits, so only part of it is concrete. The concrete | part is the same part that believes in the ego because the ego |
Tx:4.94 | so only part of it is concrete. The concrete part is the same | part that believes in the ego because the ego depends on the |
Tx:4.94 | in the ego because the ego depends on the specific. It is the | part that believes your existence means you are separate. |
Tx:4.100 | with which to judge such offerings. But unless you take your | part in the creation, His joy is not complete because yours is |
Tx:4.103 | of help, but it is often little more than a painful attempt on the | part of the halt to lead the blind. |
Tx:5.2 | and to make one. That is why it makes no difference to what | part or by what part of the Sonship the healing is done. Every part |
Tx:5.2 | one. That is why it makes no difference to what part or by what | part of the Sonship the healing is done. Every part benefits and |
Tx:5.2 | part or by what part of the Sonship the healing is done. Every | part benefits and benefits equally. |
Tx:5.5 | perceive their oneness and become glad. This gladness calls to every | part of the Sonship to rejoice with them and lets God Himself go out |
Tx:5.10 | The Holy Spirit is the only | part of the Holy Trinity which is symbolic. He is referred to in the |
Tx:5.22 | knowledge is sure. God is not in you in a literal sense; you are | part of Him. When you chose to leave Him, He gave you a Voice to |
Tx:5.25 | chooses right. The Holy Spirit is your Guide in choosing. He is the | part of your mind which always speaks for the right choice because |
Tx:5.28 | cannot be as one. What better vocation could there be for any | part of the Kingdom than to restore it to the perfect integration |
Tx:5.32 | between the two ways of thinking would not be open to healing. He is | part of the Holy Trinity because His Mind is partly yours and also |
Tx:5.33 | the Call for God, it is also the idea of God. Since you are | part of God, it is also the idea of yourself as well as of all the |
Tx:5.33 | ideas, because it follows the laws of the Universe of which it is a | part. Therefore, it is strengthened by being given away. It increases |
Tx:5.41 | with an unwilling learner without going counter to his will because | part of his will is still for God. Despite the ego's attempts to |
Tx:5.41 | will is still for God. Despite the ego's attempts to conceal this | part, it is still much stronger than the ego, even though the ego |
Tx:5.42 | because it is a place of peace, and peace is of God. You who are | part of God are not at home except in His peace. If peace is |
Tx:5.43 | God in remembrance of me. He is in Holy Communion always, and He is | part of you. He is your Guide to salvation, because He holds the |
Tx:5.45 | we know what God creates is eternal. What fear has hidden still is | part of you. |
Tx:5.46 | belongs to you because you created it. It is yours because it is a | part of you, just as you are part of God because He created you. |
Tx:5.46 | created it. It is yours because it is a part of you, just as you are | part of God because He created you. |
Tx:5.47 | been born, but it can increase as you are willing to return the | part of your mind that needs healing to the higher part and thus |
Tx:5.47 | to return the part of your mind that needs healing to the higher | part and thus render your creating undivided. |
Tx:5.50 | is possible even in this world to listen to one voice. If you are | part of God and the Sonship is one, you cannot be limited to the |
Tx:5.50 | to the “self” the ego sees. Every loving thought held in any | part of the Sonship belongs to every part. It is shared because it |
Tx:5.50 | loving thought held in any part of the Sonship belongs to every | part. It is shared because it is loving. Sharing is God's way of |
Tx:5.55 | My | part in the Atonement is not complete until you join it and give it |
Tx:5.61 | The ego is the | part of the mind which believes in division. How can part of God |
Tx:5.61 | The ego is the part of the mind which believes in division. How can | part of God detach itself without believing it is attacking Him? We |
Tx:5.62 | that you believe it is possible to attack God. You believe that a | part of Him has been torn away by you. The classic picture of fear |
Tx:5.67 | wrong. The function of thought comes from God and is in God. As | part of His Thought, you cannot think apart from Him. |
Tx:5.73 | know God. Remember the Kingdom always, and remember that you who are | part of the Kingdom cannot be lost. The mind that was in me is in |
Tx:5.76 | undo it in you because it does not belong in your mind, which is | part of God. |
Tx:5.78 | The ego will not be destroyed because it is | part of your thought, but because it is uncreative and therefore |
Tx:5.78 | it will be reinterpreted entirely to release you from fear. The | part of your thought which you have given to the ego will merely |
Tx:5.93 | His plan perfectly explicit to you and have also told you of your | part in His plan and how urgent it is that you fulfill it. There is |
Tx:5.95 | is nevertheless within you because God placed it there. Your | part is merely to return your thinking to the point at which the |
Tx:6.9 | it is assailable. You are not asked to be crucified, which was | part of my own teaching contribution. You are merely asked to follow |
Tx:6.21 | a similar reversal. Judas was my brother and a Son of God, as much a | part of the Sonship as myself. Was it likely that I would condemn him |
Tx:6.25 | Any split in will must involve a rejection of | part of it, and this is the belief in separation. The wholeness of |
Tx:6.30 | cannot be anywhere that God did not put you, and God created you as | part of Him. That is both where you are and what you are. It is |
Tx:6.32 | with each other, because they were created neither partially nor in | part. The Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness now. |
Tx:6.38 | Spirit is One. No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but your | part is only to allow no darkness to abide in your own mind. This |
Tx:6.40 | mind can never be defiled. The ego never was and never will be | part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and learn |
Tx:6.43 | is to teach peace. By learning it through projection, it becomes a | part of what you know, because you cannot teach what you have |
Tx:6.46 | When God created you, He made you | part of Him. That is why attack within the Kingdom is impossible. |
Tx:6.46 | itself as separate and outside its maker, thus speaking for the | part of your mind that believes you are separate and outside the Mind |
Tx:6.48 | The ego cannot hear the Holy Spirit, but it does believe that | part of the same mind that made it is against it. It interprets |
Tx:6.48 | to the body, not the mind, as its ally, because the body is not | part of you. This makes the body the ego's friend. It is an alliance |
Tx:6.49 | its “enemy” can end them both merely by knowing they are not | part of him, they join in the attack together. This is perhaps the |
Tx:6.50 | questions which the ego raises. You are a Child of God, a priceless | part of His Kingdom, which He created as part of Him. Nothing else |
Tx:6.50 | a Child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created as | part of Him. Nothing else exists, and only this is real. You have |
Tx:6.63 | can be shared. The body is separate and therefore cannot be | part of you. To be of one mind is meaningful, but to be of one |
Tx:6.94 | did not keep only the Kingdom of God in your minds and thus placed | part of your mind outside it. What you have made has thus divided |
Tx:7.3 | Your creations belong in you, as you belong in God. You are | part of God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To create is to love. |
Tx:7.3 | in you, as you belong in God. You are part of God, as your sons are | part of His Sons. To create is to love. Love extends outward simply |
Tx:7.27 | therefore your friend. We said before that the ego's friend is not | part of you, since the ego perceives itself as at war and therefore |
Tx:7.31 | already there and thereby reawaken it. This is why the healer is | part of the resurrection and the life. The Spirit is not asleep in |
Tx:7.31 | life. The Spirit is not asleep in the minds of the sick, but the | part of the mind that can perceive it and be glad is. |
Tx:7.34 | step toward the knowledge that you are in God, because you are | part of Him. The miracles which the Holy Spirit inspires can have no |
Tx:7.34 | Holy Spirit inspires can have no order of difficulty, because every | part of creation is of one order. This is God's Will and yours. |
Tx:7.49 | what you understand you can identify with, and by making it | part of you, you have accepted it with love. |
Tx:7.53 | His creations. You can appreciate the Sonship only as one. This is | part of the Law of Creation and therefore governs all thought. |
Tx:7.58 | if the mind which made it knew itself. And if it recognized any | part of the Sonship, it would know itself. |
Tx:7.63 | The ego wants no | part of truth, because the truth is that the ego is not true. If |
Tx:7.65 | thought] as if it were weak, because you do not believe you are | part of it. |
Tx:7.66 | Perceived without your | part in it, God's creation is perceived as weak, and those who see |
Tx:7.70 | 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. Nor is it possible |
Tx:7.70 | is as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to love it in | part. Nor is it possible to love it totally at times. You cannot be |
Tx:7.70 | you. Reality cannot be partly appreciated. That is why denying any | part of it means you have lost awareness of all of it. |
Tx:7.76 | rest by loving. But love everything He created of which you are a | part, or you cannot learn of His peace and accept His gift for |
Tx:7.79 | Being the | part of your mind which does not believe it is responsible for |
Tx:7.80 | and you will know that you are in Him with them. They are | part of you, as you are part of God. You are as lonely without |
Tx:7.80 | that you are in Him with them. They are part of you, as you are | part of God. You are as lonely without understanding this as God |
Tx:7.81 | Perceive any | part of the ego's thought system as wholly insane, wholly delusional, |
Tx:7.81 | evaluated all of it. This correction enables you to perceive any | part of creation as wholly real, wholly perfect, and wholly |
Tx:7.85 | shared. Any attempt to keep part of it and get rid of another | part does not really mean anything. Remember that a conflicted |
Tx:7.91 | the Soul, because that is how God created it. The Holy Spirit is the | part of the mind that lies between the ego and the Soul, mediating |
Tx:7.91 | ego, this is partiality, and it therefore responds as if it were the | part that is being sided against. To the Soul, this is truth, |
Tx:7.91 | is truth, because it knows its fullness and cannot conceive of any | part from which it is excluded. |
Tx:7.92 | God. Everything He created is given all His power, because it is | part of Him and shares His Being with Him. Creating is the opposite |
Tx:7.94 | joy, because you do not know your own self-fullness. Exclude any | part of the Kingdom from yourself, and you are not whole. A split |
Tx:7.95 | into your awareness whenever you will let Him. They are there as | part of your own being, because your fulfillment includes them. The |
Tx:7.97 | The miracle is a lesson in total perception. By including any | part of totality in the lesson, you have included the whole. You |
Tx:7.98 | not want it. The only reason why you could possibly want any | part of it is because you do not see the whole of it. You |
Tx:7.99 | there, exactly where they belong. They belong in your mind as | part of your identification with His, but your state of mind and your |
Tx:7.112 | denying yours and that of God, Who created you. You cannot deny | part of truth. You do not know your creations, because you do not |
Tx:8.12 | them to be the same, how can you tell them apart? Can you ask the | part of your mind that taught you to believe they are the same to |
Tx:8.14 | because it created all things. By creating all things, it made them | part of itself. You are the Will of God, because this is how you |
Tx:8.14 | Creator creates only like Himself, you are like Him. You are | part of Him Who is all power and glory and are therefore as |
Tx:8.23 | You can encounter only | part of yourself, because you are part of God, Who is everything. |
Tx:8.23 | You can encounter only part of yourself, because you are | part of God, Who is everything. His power and glory are everywhere, |
Tx:8.23 | you and your brothers from every imprisoning thought any | part of the Sonship has accepted. Wrong decisions have no power |
Tx:8.27 | You were in darkness until God's Will was done completely by any | part of the Sonship. When this was done, it was perfectly |
Tx:8.34 | with the Son. It cannot be with one and not the other. If you are | part of one, you must be part of the other, because they are one. |
Tx:8.34 | be with one and not the other. If you are part of one, you must be | part of the other, because they are one. |
Tx:8.35 | your function as part of It, It is as bereft as you are. No | part of It can be imprisoned if Its truth is to be known. Can you be |
Tx:8.57 | from his belief in littleness and thus escape from yours. As | part of you, he is holy. As part of me, you are. To communicate |
Tx:8.57 | and thus escape from yours. As part of you, he is holy. As | part of me, you are. To communicate with part of God Himself is to |
Tx:8.57 | of you, he is holy. As part of me, you are. To communicate with | part of God Himself is to reach beyond the Kingdom to its Creator |
Tx:8.57 | to its Creator through His Voice, which He has established as | part of you. |
Tx:8.61 | the Holy Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a means by which the | part of the mind you have separated from your Soul can reach beyond |
Tx:8.62 | which is also natural. All mind is whole, and the belief that | part of it is physical, or not mind, is a fragmented (or sick) |
Tx:8.70 | are inferior is that they may well be inaccurate. Functions are | part of being since they arise from it, but the relationship is not |
Tx:8.70 | but the relationship is not reciprocal. The whole does define the | part, but the part does not define the whole. This is as true of |
Tx:8.70 | is not reciprocal. The whole does define the part, but the | part does not define the whole. This is as true of knowledge as it |
Tx:8.70 | as true of knowledge as it is of perception. The reason to know in | part is to know entirely is because of the fundamental difference |
Tx:8.70 | is possible. There is no difference between the whole and the | part where change is impossible. |
Tx:8.81 | you and find you when you meet its conditions. Its conditions are | part of what it is. And this part only is up to you. The rest is of |
Tx:8.81 | its conditions. Its conditions are part of what it is. And this | part only is up to you. The rest is of itself. You need do so little, |
Tx:8.81 | You need do so little, because it is so powerful that your little | part will bring the whole to you. Accept then your little part, and |
Tx:8.81 | little part will bring the whole to you. Accept then your little | part, and let the whole be yours. |
Tx:8.86 | it is properly understood. There has been a marked tendency on the | part of many of the Bible's followers and also its translators to be |
Tx:8.89 | His because your meaning is part of His. Your healing, then, is | part of His health since it is part of His Wholeness. He cannot |
Tx:8.89 | of His. Your healing, then, is part of His health since it is | part of His Wholeness. He cannot lose this, but you can not |
Tx:8.106 | Christ is in me, and where He is God must be, for Christ is | part of Him. |
Tx:9.10 | You have a | part to play in the Atonement, but the plan of the Atonement is |
Tx:9.33 | If your brothers are | part of you, will you accept them? Only they can teach you what you |
Tx:9.33 | we do belongs to you as well. Every Soul God created is | part of you and shares His glory with you. His Glory belongs to |
Tx:9.34 | remember creation whenever you recognize part of creation. Each | part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each part is |
Tx:9.34 | Each part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each | part is whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of |
Tx:9.47 | fitting for Him, for you do not want anything else. Return your | part of Him, and He will give you all of Himself in exchange for your |
Tx:9.51 | you that you are insane and argue that grandeur cannot be a real | part of you because of the littleness in which it believes. |
Tx:9.57 | irreplaceable in the Mind of God. No one else can fill your | part of it, and while you leave your part of it empty, your eternal |
Tx:9.57 | God. No one else can fill your part of it, and while you leave your | part of it empty, your eternal place merely waits for your return. |
Tx:9.60 | nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for you are | part of Him. What except Him can exist? Nothing beyond Him can |
Tx:9.64 | is that you love your creations as yourself because they are | part of you. Everything that was created is therefore perfectly safe, |
Tx:9.64 | perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect it by His Love. Any | part of your mind that does not know this has banished itself from |
Tx:9.69 | for God is in your memory, and His Voice will tell you that you are | part of Him when you are willing to remember Him and know your own |
Tx:9.70 | perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God will do His | part if you will do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is |
Tx:9.76 | sick. To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that | part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, because it cannot |
Tx:9.77 | can be taken from you. Yet this is impossible, because you are | part of God, Who is all power. |
Tx:9.79 | which God created because of the calm knowledge that each one is | part of Him. God's Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father. |
Tx:9.86 | are irreconcilable. Truth is whole and cannot be known by | part of a mind. |
Tx:9.87 | the split because the split is the sign that you have removed | part of your mind from God's Will, and this means it is out of |
Tx:9.99 | your call, you have not answered His. He calls to you from every | part of the Sonship because of His love for His Son. If you hear |
Tx:10.4 | My brother, you are | part of God and part of me. When you have at last looked at the ego's |
Tx:10.4 | My brother, you are part of God and | part of me. When you have at last looked at the ego's foundation |
Tx:10.5 | His Son, where He wills His Son to be and where he is. In whatever | part of the Mind of God's Son you restore this reality, you restore |
Tx:10.6 | is the universe? I and my Father are one with you, for you are | part of us. Do you really believe that part of God can be missing |
Tx:10.6 | one with you, for you are part of us. Do you really believe that | part of God can be missing or lost to Him? |
Tx:10.7 | If you were not | part of God, His Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can |
Tx:10.7 | part of God, His Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can | part of His Mind contain nothing? If your place in His Mind cannot be |
Tx:10.11 | Could any | part of God be without His love and could any part of His love be |
Tx:10.11 | Could any part of God be without His love and could any | part of His love be contained? God is your heritage because His one |
Tx:10.16 | of Him, you know there is but one will. Yet when you attack any | part of God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not perfect, and |
Tx:10.18 | And denial is as total as love. You cannot deny | part of yourself because the remainder will seem to be unintegrated |
Tx:10.20 | waiting. You can safely trust His patience, for He cannot leave a | part of God. Yet you need far more than patience. |
Tx:10.27 | all illusions. Turn toward the light, for the little spark in you is | part of a light so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness |
Tx:10.30 | For you cannot understand Wholeness unless you are whole, and no | part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his |
Tx:10.31 | your Soul by its Creator that you might extend it. Yet if you hate | part of your own Soul, all your understanding is lost because you |
Tx:10.31 | God created as yourself without love. And since what He created is | part of Him, you are denying Him His place in His own altar. |
Tx:10.33 | and your own Soul must be unknown to you. Every altar to God is | part of your Soul because the light He created is one with Him. Would |
Tx:10.35 | If your brothers are | part of you and you blame them for your deprivation, you are |
Tx:10.65 | of God's Son is the work of the redemption, in which everyone has a | part of equal value. God does not judge His blameless Son. Having |
Tx:10.68 | Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you will have a | part in the redemption as valuable as mine. For your part must be |
Tx:10.68 | you will have a part in the redemption as valuable as mine. For your | part must be like mine if you learn it of me. If you believe that |
Tx:10.68 | their equality is their oneness. The whole power of God is in every | part of Him, and nothing contradictory to His Will is either great or |
Tx:10.86 | To love yourself is to heal yourself, and you cannot perceive | part of you as sick and achieve your own goal. Brother, we heal |
Tx:10.90 | truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as | part of God, deceit in you is impossible. When you perceive |
Tx:11.3 | is the Holy Spirit's judgment, it requires no effort at all on your | part. Every loving thought is true. Everything else is an appeal for |
Tx:11.37 | it is afraid to find. The search is inevitable because the ego is | part of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not wholly |
Tx:11.55 | do not want the world. The only thing of value in it is whatever | part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it |
Tx:11.62 | Everyone in the world must play his | part in the redemption of the world to recognize that the world has |
Tx:11.75 | to your Father. That is why the undoing of guilt is an essential | part of the Holy Spirit's teaching. For as long as you feel guilty, |
Tx:12.52 | wholeness, as I am calling you to join with me. Every voice has a | part in the song of redemption, the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving |
Tx:12.62 | for help or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from every | part of this strange world you made but do not want. The only effort |
Tx:12.76 | You travel but in dreams while safe at home. Give thanks to every | part of you that you have taught how to remember you. Thus does the |
Tx:13.7 | the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy Spirit knows your | part in the redemption and who are seeking you and where to find |
Tx:13.7 | them. Knowledge is far beyond your individual concern. You, who are | part of it and all of it, need only realize that it is of the Father, |
Tx:13.87 | who belong to the First Cause, created by Him like unto Himself and | part of Him, are more than merely guiltless. The state of |
Tx:14.5 | The only | part of your mind that has reality is the part which links you still |
Tx:14.5 | The only part of your mind that has reality is the | part which links you still with God. Would you have all of it |
Tx:14.6 | Each one of you has a special | part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each to share |
Tx:14.10 | innocence, each in his own way, have joined together, taking their | part in the unified curriculum of the Atonement. There is no unity of |
Tx:14.14 | The crucifixion has no | part in the Atonement. Only the resurrection became my part in it. |
Tx:14.14 | has no part in the Atonement. Only the resurrection became my | part in it. That is the symbol of the release from guilt by |
Tx:14.45 | but reflected to them here. God is no image, and His creations, as | part of Him, hold Him in them in truth. They do not merely reflect |
Tx:14.64 | from everything you have taught yourselves. How would you know? Your | part is very simple. You need only recognize that everything you |
Tx:14.68 | It is only because you think that you can run some little | part or deal with certain aspects of your lives alone that the |
Tx:15.21 | Start now to practice your little | part in separating out the holy instant. You will receive very |
Tx:15.37 | to join in any plan but His. I call you to fulfill your holy | part in the plan that He has given to the world for its release from |
Tx:15.51 | is so fragmented that it frequently goes even further—one | part of one aspect suits its purposes, while it prefers different |
Tx:15.56 | and not suffer guilt. And it is equally impossible to condemn | part of a relationship and find peace within it. Under the Holy |
Tx:15.78 | from your completion in sudden recognition of the value of his | part in it. In the protection of your wholeness, all are invited |
Tx:15.85 | only perception you want, it is translated into knowledge by the | part which God Himself plays in the Atonement, for it is the only |
Tx:15.98 | relationships, in which you are both destroyer and destroyed in | part, but with the idea of being able to be neither completely. And |
Tx:15.104 | for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it out though it was | part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome and live |
Tx:15.104 | and tried to cast it out though it was part of you. Who can perceive | part of himself as loathsome and live within himself in peace? And |
Tx:15.111 | I give you to the Holy Spirit as | part of myself. I know that you will be released, unless I want to |
Tx:16.3 | Your | part is only to remember this—you do not want anything you value |
Tx:16.5 | the fact that He does know. You are not sure that He will do His | part because you have never yet done yours completely. You will not |
Tx:16.9 | What you give through Him is for the whole Sonship, not for | part of it. Leave Him His function, for He will fulfill it if you but |
Tx:16.10 | are at all, their attributes would have to be miraculous, being | part of them. |
Tx:16.11 | fragment and then to be concerned about the truth of just a little | part of the whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking |
Tx:16.11 | to think of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in | part or whole. Yet you have done them. Therefore, your |
Tx:16.12 | told about it, you cannot understand it. The recognition of the | part as whole and of the whole in every part is perfectly natural. |
Tx:16.12 | it. The recognition of the part as whole and of the whole in every | part is perfectly natural. For it is the way God thinks, and what |
Tx:16.25 | Your teaching has already done this, for the Holy Spirit is | part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor His creation. |
Tx:16.25 | place of what you took in to replace them. They are quite real as | part of the Self you do not know. And they communicate to you through |
Tx:16.62 | individual. For the ego wants but part of him and sees only this | part and nothing else. |
Tx:16.66 | you seek to strengthen in the special relationship is really | part of you. And you cannot keep part of the thought system which |
Tx:16.66 | special relationship is really part of you. And you cannot keep | part of the thought system which taught you it was real and |
Tx:17.4 | it to one teacher and some to another. And so you learn to deal with | part of truth in one way and in another way the other part. To |
Tx:17.4 | to deal with part of truth in one way and in another way the other | part. To fragment truth is to destroy it by rendering it meaningless. |
Tx:17.7 | your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought you even a little | part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will see the |
Tx:17.22 | relationship. For the Creator of the one relationship has left no | part of it without Himself. |
Tx:17.23 | This is the only | part of the relationship the Holy Spirit sees because He knows that |
Tx:17.31 | The ego is hyperalert to threat, and the | part of your mind into which the ego was accepted is very anxious to |
Tx:17.31 | they are supposed to protect. The separation has nothing in it, no | part, no “reason,” and no attribute that is not insane. And its |
Tx:17.31 | and no attribute that is not insane. And its “protection” is | part of it, as insane as the whole. The special relationship, which |
Tx:17.42 | His ascendance. What He has given is His. It shines in every | part of Him as in the whole. The whole reality of your relationship |
Tx:17.49 | from your distress only by getting rid of each other. You need not | part entirely if you choose not to do so. But you must exclude major |
Tx:17.62 | goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it will play his | part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one will fail in |
Tx:17.65 | of the problem but will make solution impossible. For if you shift | part of the problem elsewhere, the meaning of the problem must be |
Tx:17.69 | truth. If you lack faith in anyone to fulfill, and perfectly, his | part in any situation dedicated in advance to truth, your |
Tx:17.71 | your whole relationship in every aspect and complete in every | part. You can leave nothing of yourself outside it and keep the |
Tx:17.78 | accepted the cause of his awakening as yours. You have assumed your | part in his redemption, and you are now fully responsible to him. |
Tx:18.4 | it, and every special relationship which you have ever made is | part of it. |
Tx:18.6 | brought to this could only remain within in quiet and take no | part in all the mad projection by which this world was made. Call it |
Tx:18.38 | Give Him but what He asks, that you may learn how little is your | part and how great is His. |
Tx:18.42 | you ask the Holy Spirit's help. That is His function. Your | part is only to offer Him a little willingness to let Him remove |
Tx:18.42 | little faith, joined with His understanding, He will build your | part in the Atonement and make sure that you fulfill it easily. And |
Tx:18.59 | else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It becomes | part of you as you unite with it. And both become whole as neither is |
Tx:18.72 | to keep you apart from Him. The body is a tiny fence around a little | part of a glorious and complete idea. It draws a circle, infinitely |
Tx:18.73 | against the universe. This fragment of your mind is such a tiny | part of it that, could you but appreciate the whole, you would see |
Tx:18.76 | to the sun and ocean your Self continues, unmindful that this tiny | part regards itself as you. It is not missing; it could not exist |
Tx:18.77 | whole, which offers all its happiness and deep content to every | part. The little aspect which you think you set apart is no exception. |
Tx:18.81 | which you tried to hide from Heaven straight into Heaven. No | part of love calls on the whole in vain. No Son of God remains |
Tx:18.84 | error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny | part of yourself, the little thought that seems split off and |
Tx:18.85 | This is the little | part of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to Heaven. |
Tx:19.6 | to both is to set up a goal forever impossible to attain, for | part of it is sought through the body, thought of as a means for |
Tx:19.6 | as a means for seeking out reality through attack, while the other | part would heal and therefore calls upon the mind and not the body. |
Tx:19.11 | Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a | part of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of |
Tx:19.17 | the mind is guilty and will forever so remain unless a mind not | part of it can give it absolution. Sin calls for punishment as error |
Tx:19.25 | cannot be corrected and will be forever desirable. As an essential | part of what the ego thinks you are, you will always want it. And |
Tx:19.31 | must have extended Himself, and it is impossible that what is | part of Him is totally unlike the rest. If sin is real, God must be |
Tx:19.33 | it and give His Son a will apart from His and stronger. And each | part of God's fragmented creation would have a different will, |
Tx:19.48 | this little wisp is lifted up and carried away, never to return, and | part with it in gladness, not regret. For it is nothing in itself and |
Tx:19.68 | Your little | part is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. |
Tx:19.81 | of sin, the pride of guilt, the sepulcher of separation—all are | part of your unrecognized dedication to death. The glitter of guilt |
Tx:20.33 | is not of you, nor need you be concerned with anything except the | part that has been given you to learn. For He Who knows the rest will |
Tx:20.33 | to it without your help. But think not that He does not need your | part to help Him with the rest. For in your part lies all of it, |
Tx:20.33 | He does not need your part to help Him with the rest. For in your | part lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the |
Tx:20.33 | the rest. For in your part lies all of it, without which is no | part complete, nor is the whole completed without your part. The ark |
Tx:20.33 | which is no part complete, nor is the whole completed without your | part. The ark of peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of |
Tx:20.34 | no more leave one of them outside than I could leave you and forget | part of myself. |
Tx:21.8 | place or anything particular. But you remember from just this little | part how lovely was the song, how wonderful the setting where you |
Tx:21.11 | of him who knows his Father. Here is the memory of what you are—a | part of this, with all of it within and joined to all as surely as |
Tx:21.43 | the ego. A holy relationship is one in which you join with what is | part of you in truth. And your belief in sin has been already |
Tx:21.44 | ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the | part of your mind the ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet |
Tx:21.44 | of your mind the ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this | part with which you now identify is not afraid to look upon itself. |
Tx:21.45 | This | part has seen your brother and recognized him perfectly since time |
Tx:21.47 | And now the ego is afraid. Yet what it hears in terror, the other | part hears as the sweetest music—the song it longed to hear since |
Tx:21.54 | and in this your will must be included. Thus, there must be a | part of you that knows His Will and shares it. It is not meaningful |
Tx:21.55 | Oh yes, you know this and more than this alone. Yet any | part of knowledge threatens dissociation as much as all of it. And |
Tx:21.55 | as much as all of it. And all of it will come with any | part. Here is the part you can accept. What reason points to you can |
Tx:21.55 | as all of it. And all of it will come with any part. Here is the | part you can accept. What reason points to you can see because the |
Tx:21.57 | The | part of mind where reason lies was dedicated by your will in union |
Tx:21.63 | continuous? And if there is nothing in between, how can what enters | part be kept away from other parts? Reason would tell you this. But |
Tx:22.6 | would understand. The brain interprets to the body, of which it is a | part. But what it says, you cannot understand. Yet you have |
Tx:22.13 | God did not entrust His Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is | part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it possible that |
Tx:22.13 | Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it possible that anything not | part of Him can join. Communication must have been restored to |
Tx:22.23 | There is no | part of Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. Nor is there |
Tx:22.38 | can make the wrong decision, but he can delay. And there is no | part of the journey that seems more hopeless and futile than standing |
Tx:22.55 | you accepted in your relationship corrects the error and lays a | part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this gift be |
Tx:22.55 | in its place. How blessed are you who let this gift be given! Each | part of Heaven that you bring is given you. And every empty place |
Tx:22.58 | there. Through this releasing is the world released. This is your | part in bringing peace. For you have asked what is your function here |
Tx:22.62 | from your Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a | part of the creation without the whole, the Son without the Father, |
Tx:23.5 | but help him rise above it and perceive the light of which he is a | part. Your innocence will light the way to his, and so is yours |
Tx:23.6 | Nothing around you but is | part of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. |
Tx:23.6 | and everything you once thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as | part of Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk clean and redeemed and |
Tx:23.10 | as nature roaring at the wind in anger and proclaiming that it is | part of itself no more. |
Tx:23.11 | this and make it true? Nor is it up to you to say what shall be | part of you and what is kept apart. The war against yourself was |
Tx:23.12 | not what form they take. What made them is insane, and they remain | part of what made them. Madness holds out no menace to reality and |
Tx:23.12 | threaten it in any way. And the reality which they deny is not a | part of them. |
Tx:23.13 | What you remember is a | part of you. For you must be as God created you. Truth does not |
Tx:23.14 | power and nothingness. There is nothing you could attack that is not | part of you. And by attacking it, you make two illusions of |
Tx:23.21 | to truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. No | part of nothing can be more resistant to the truth than can another. |
Tx:23.43 | is no compromise of any kind. To compromise is to accept but | part of what you want—to take a little and give up the rest. |
Tx:23.50 | is raised above the battleground, in it no more. This is your | part—to realize that murder in any form is not your will. The |
Tx:23.51 | the midst of it, it does seem real. Here you have chosen to be | part of it. Here murder is your choice. Yet from above, the choice |
Tx:24.14 | one, each one in exile from himself and Him of Whom they are a | part. Nor do they love the Oneness Which created them as one with |
Tx:24.21 | your specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of himself as | part of you, as you for his. You are alike to God as God is to |
Tx:24.21 | as God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep one | part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for |
Tx:24.22 | from what it is and must forever be. You are your brother's; | part of love was not denied to him. But can it be that you have |
Tx:24.49 | him, his Father waits for your acknowledgment that He created you as | part of Him. |
Tx:24.50 | could be no universe and no reality. For what God wills is whole and | part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part |
Tx:24.50 | and part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing alive that is not | part of Him, and nothing is but is alive in Him. Your brother's |
Tx:24.55 | your peace but in his holiness? And where is God Himself but in that | part of Him He set forever in your brother's holiness that you might |
Tx:24.56 | that has never been begun and needs no end. What never was is not a | part of you. Yet you will think it is until you realize that it is |
Tx:24.56 | you. Yet you will think it is until you realize that it is not a | part of him who stands beside you. He is the mirror of yourself |
Tx:24.58 | you? Then see him not as prisoner to them. It cannot be what governs | part of God holds not for all the rest. You place yourself under the |
Tx:24.58 | how great the love of God for you must be that He has given you a | part of Him to save from pain and give you happiness. And never doubt |
Tx:24.58 | specialness will disappear before the Will of God, Who loves each | part of Him with equal love [and care]. The Christ in you can see |
Tx:25.6 | anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a | part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are |
Tx:25.8 | been separate, and Christ abides within your understanding in the | part of you that shares His Father's Will. The Holy Spirit links the |
Tx:25.8 | you that shares His Father's Will. The Holy Spirit links the other | part, the tiny mad desire to be separate, different, and special, to |
Tx:25.10 | of time and place as if they were discrete, for while you think that | part of you is separate, the concept of a oneness joined as one is |
Tx:25.17 | The Holy Spirit is the frame God set around the | part of Him that you would see as separate. Yet its frame is joined |
Tx:25.20 | perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is made complete when any | part of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. This brother is |
Tx:25.46 | each He gives a special function in salvation he alone can fill—a | part for only him. Nor is the plan complete until he finds his |
Tx:25.46 | plan complete until he finds his special function and fulfills the | part assigned to him to make himself complete within a world where |
Tx:25.48 | still much to do. And each must do what is allotted him, for on his | part does all the plan depend. He has a special part in time, for |
Tx:25.48 | him, for on his part does all the plan depend. He has a special | part in time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it for |
Tx:25.48 | there at all.] And this is seen and understood as each one takes his | part in its undoing, as he did in making it. He has the means for |
Tx:25.58 | Nor is he left without escape from madness, for he has a special | part in everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside without a |
Tx:25.61 | and direction to the plan in which your special function has a | part. For here your special function is made whole because it shares |
Tx:25.66 | the victim seen as partly you, with someone else by far the greater | part. And in the total cost, the greater his, the less is yours. And |
Tx:26.1 | body separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a little | part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you will |
Tx:26.2 | never reach and join with what is locked away within the wall. Each | part must sacrifice the other part to keep itself complete. For if |
Tx:26.2 | is locked away within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other | part to keep itself complete. For if they joined, each one would lose |
Tx:26.3 | sacrifice of all the rest. And all the rest must lose this little | part, remaining incomplete to keep its own identity intact. In this |
Tx:26.26 | sin left vacant do they join as one, in gladness recognizing what is | part of them has not been kept apart and separate. |
Tx:26.39 | Resurrection has come to take its place. And now you are a | part of resurrection, not of death. No past illusions have the |
Tx:26.41 | the true existence of the here and now. The real world is the second | part of the hallucination time and death are real and have existence |
Tx:26.49 | of time do not affect its workings. It is in this world, but not a | part of it. For it is real and dwells where all reality must be. |
Tx:26.60 | wills you learn what always has been true—that He created you as | part of Him, and this must still be true because ideas leave not |
Tx:27.26 | correction has been placed outside yourself on one who cannot be a | part of you while this perception lasts. What is condemned can never |
Tx:27.26 | it still. This is your brother, focus of your hate, unworthy to be | part of you and thus outside yourself—the other half which is |
Tx:27.28 | And each forgives the other, that he may accept his other half as | part of him. |
Tx:27.52 | Who will guarantee that they remain unviolated and unlimited. Your | part is merely to apply what He has taught you to yourself, and He |
Tx:27.57 | could contain what you believe it holds within. Nor could it tell a | part of God Himself what it should feel and what its function is. Yet |
Tx:27.65 | recognize their common need. For each one thinks that if he does his | part, the condemnation of the world will rest on him. And it is this |
Tx:27.65 | world will rest on him. And it is this that he perceives to be his | part in its deliverance. Vengeance must have a focus. Otherwise is |
Tx:27.67 | The | part you play in salvaging the world from condemnation is your own |
Tx:27.68 | He cannot doubt his dreams' reality because he does not see the | part he plays in making them and making them seem real. |
Tx:27.69 | can waken from a dream the world is dreaming for him. He becomes a | part of someone else's dream. He cannot choose to waken from a dream |
Tx:27.71 | dream in secret. They are one. The dreaming of the world is but a | part of your own dream you gave away and saw as if it were its start |
Tx:27.71 | secret dream, which you do not perceive, although it caused the | part you see and do not doubt is real. How could you doubt it while |
Tx:27.81 | you do? Then let us merely look upon the dream's beginning, for the | part you see is but the second part, whose cause lies in the first. |
Tx:27.81 | upon the dream's beginning, for the part you see is but the second | part, whose cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in |
Tx:27.83 | A timelessness in which is time made real; a | part of God which can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; |
Tx:28.4 | But only your desire made the link, and only you have held it to a | part of time where guilt appears to linger still. |
Tx:28.18 | and dreamed a dream in which you were an alien to yourself and but a | part of someone else's dream. |
Tx:28.29 | decision to be sick. If you withhold agreement and accept the | part you play in making sickness real, the other mind cannot |
Tx:28.38 | is a way of finding certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a | part of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose |
Tx:28.41 | Be certain, if you do your | part, he will do his, for he will join you where you stand. Call not |
Tx:28.41 | believe that it is your reality as well as his. You cannot do his | part, but this you do when you become a passive figure in his dream |
Tx:28.45 | holy is the smallest grain of sand when it is recognized as being | part of the completed picture of God's Son! The forms the broken |
Tx:28.45 | And every aspect of the Son of God is just the same as every other | part. |
Tx:28.48 | and perceive that he is not the dream he made. And so he cannot be a | part of yours, from which you both are free. Forgiveness separates |
Tx:28.49 | which seems to be your enemy, and will attack your brother as a | part of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are your Self or |
Tx:28.60 | and there is no one who could be untrue to what He wills as | part of what He is. The promise that there is no gap between |
Tx:28.61 | The beautiful relationship you have with all your brothers is a | part of you because it is a part of God Himself. Are you not sick if |
Tx:28.61 | you have with all your brothers is a part of you because it is a | part of God Himself. Are you not sick if you deny yourself your |
Tx:29.15 | of the living God—His Son have life and every living thing be | part of him, and nothing else have life. What you have given “life” |
Tx:29.17 | for it is you of whom the sacrifice is asked? For He is told that | part of Him belongs to Him no longer. He must sacrifice your self, |
Tx:29.17 | what is gone from Him becomes your god, protecting you from being | part of Him. |
Tx:29.24 | He is himself, but not himself alone. And as his Father lost not | part of Him in your creation, so the light in him is brighter still |
Tx:29.30 | to you. And do not try to hurt him when he fails to take the | part which you assigned to him in what you dream your life was meant |
Tx:29.32 | upon the Son of God and would behold him waken and be glad. He is a | part of you, and you of him because he is his Father's Son and not |
Tx:29.33 | was created that you might be whole, for only the complete can be a | part of God's completion, Which created you. |
Tx:29.44 | himself and seeks for something more than everything, as if a | part of it were separated off and found where all the rest of it is |
Tx:29.60 | to every living thing as well. And thus is every living thing a | part of you, as of Himself. No idol can establish you as more than |
Tx:29.62 | and he will waken. For the dream will seem to last while he is | part of it. Judge not, for he who judges will have need of idols |
Tx:29.62 | the Self he has condemned. Judge not, because you make yourself a | part of evil dreams where idols are your “true” identity and your |
Tx:29.64 | no salvation in the dream as you are dreaming it. For idols must be | part of it to save you from what you believe you have accomplished |
Tx:29.65 | make his world remain outside himself, and play that he is but a | part of it. |
Tx:30.11 | day you want and recognize that something has occurred which is not | part of it. Then realize that you have asked a question by yourself |
Tx:30.42 | created him. What idol can he need to be himself? For can he give a | part of him away? What is not whole cannot make whole. But what is |

W1:36.1 | or not. If your mind is part of God's, you must be sinless or a | part of His Mind would be sinful. Your sight is related to His |
W1:43.7 | Although this | part of the exercise period should be relatively short, be sure that |

W1:57.6 | [35] My mind is | part of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the world |
W1:59.6 | no thoughts apart from Him because I have no mind apart from His. As | part of His Mind, my thoughts are His and His thoughts are mine. |
W1:65.4 | as for all the trivial purposes and goals you will pursue. This is | part of the long range disciplinary training which your mind needs, |

W1:R2.1 | our last review left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier | part of each day will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the |
W1:R2.1 | of each day will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter | part of the day to the other. We will have one longer exercise period |
W1:R2.2 | phase if you find your mind wandering, but try to spend the major | part of the practice period listening quietly but attentively. |
W1:87.7 | is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This is | part of God's Will for me, however I may see it. |
W1:92.4 | light that lies beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a | part. It sees itself. It brings the light in which your Self appears. |
W1:93.17 | today. You can do much today to bring you closer to accepting the | part in salvation which God has assigned to you. And you can do much |
W1:95.19 | Do not forget today. We need your help, your little | part in bringing happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks to you |
W1:96.4 | your self-concept, for it has no place in which it could be really | part of you. If you are Spirit, then the body must be meaningless to |
W1:98.1 | it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is and take the | part assigned to us by God. |
W1:98.9 | I will accept my | part in God's plan for salvation. |
W1:98.13 | a happy time again with Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the | part which He would have you take and help you fill, and He will make |
W1:99.10 | This | part belongs to God, as does the rest. It does not think its solitary |
W1:100.1 | Just as God's Son completes his Father, so your | part in it completes your Father's plan. Salvation must reverse the |
W1:100.2 | perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go against His Will? The | part that He has saved for you to take in working out His plan is |
W1:100.2 | plan is given you that you might be restored to what He wills. This | part is as essential to His plan as to your happiness. Your joy must |
W1:100.5 | not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take the | part that is essential to God's plan as well as to our vision. |
W1:100.5 | as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another | part instead of what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you |
W1:100.6 | attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you are sad, your | part is unfulfilled and all the world is thus deprived of joy along |
W1:100.8 | exercises with the thought today's idea contains. Then realize your | part is to be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to |
W1:112.2 | peace. I welcome them into the home I share with God, because I am a | part of Him. |
W1:114.3 | [98] I will accept my | part in God's plan for salvation. What can my function be but to |
W1:114.7 | I will accept my | part in God's plan for salvation. |
W1:115.3 | [100] My | part is essential to God's plan for salvation. I am essential to |

W1:127.3 | And it must elude the mind that thinks of it as partial or in | part. There is no love but God's, and all of love is His. There is no |
W1:127.6 | limits under which you live, and all the changes which you think are | part of human destiny. Today we take the largest single step this |
W1:127.11 | We will remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a | part of us outside our love if we would know our Self. At least three |
W1:128.3 | mind when you perceive salvation here. For what you value you make | part of you as you perceive yourself. All things you seek to make |
W1:130.7 | meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to bring with us a little | part of unreality as we devote our minds to finding only what is real. |
W1:130.12 | Accept a little | part of hell as real, and you have damned your eyes and cursed your |
W1:130.12 | of everything that hell would show to you. All you need say to any | part of hell, whatever form it takes, is simply this: |
W1:130.13 | see two worlds. I seek my freedom and deliverance, and this is not a | part of what I want. |
W1:132.14 | God and made to separate the Father and the Son and break away a | part of God Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a world which |
W1:134.3 | The major difficulty that you find in genuine forgiveness on your | part is that you still believe you must forgive the truth and not |
W1:135.17 | continuity of any old ideas and sick beliefs. Anticipation plays no | part at all, for present confidence directs the way. |
W1:135.22 | will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is | part of what was planned for us. We will be sure that everything we |
W1:135.27 | of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense to learn the | part for you within the plan of God. What little plans or magical |
W1:136.5 | It is this quick forgetting of the | part you play in making your “reality” which makes defenses seem to |
W1:138.1 | we think is real. Creation knows no opposite. But here is opposition | part of being “real.” |
W1:139.5 | is no doubt of this, and yet you doubt it. But you do not ask what | part of you can really doubt yourself. It cannot really be a part of |
W1:139.5 | what part of you can really doubt yourself. It cannot really be a | part of you that asks this question, for it asks of one who knows the |
W1:139.5 | asks this question, for it asks of one who knows the answer. Were it | part of you, certainty would be impossible. |
W1:139.9 | yourself. Look lovingly on them that they may know that they are | part of you and you of them. This does Atonement teach and |
W1:139.12 | is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth, how much a | part of us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, |
W1:R4.1 | Now we review again, this time aware we are preparing for the second | part of learning how the truth can be applied. Today we will begin to |
W1:151.12 | Such is your resurrection, for your life is not a | part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and the world, |
W1:152.2 | If you have the gift of everything, can loss be real? Can pain be | part of peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind |
W1:152.3 | about. For if what is not true is true as well as what is true, then | part of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but |
W1:154.1 | decision off, and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our | part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; |
W1:154.1 | we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our | part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we think is weakness |
W1:154.2 | applied, for what, to whom, and when, He chooses and accepts your | part for you. He does not work without your own consent, but He is |
W1:154.5 | or where they should be carried, he is failing to perform his proper | part as bringer of the Word. |
W1:154.7 | by giving all the messages away. The messengers of God perform their | part by their acceptance of His messages as for themselves and show |
W1:154.9 | who are now the messengers of God receive His messages, for that is | part of your appointed role. He has not failed to offer what you |
W1:154.9 | to offer what you need, nor has it been left unaccepted. Yet another | part of your appointed task is yet to be accomplished. He Who has |
W1:156.3 | lives. What lives is holy as Himself because what shares His life is | part of Holiness and could no more be sinful than the sun could |
W1:160.1 | you are unknown to you. What is your Self remains an alien to the | part of you which thinks that it is real but different from yourself. |
W1:161.2 | Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But | part of it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. |
W1:163.9 | we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and | part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and our will is |
W1:164.5 | This is the day when vain imaginings | part like a curtain to reveal what lies beyond them. Now is what is |
W1:169.5 | words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them and no | part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of |
W1:169.8 | as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We merely take the | part assigned long since and fully recognized as perfectly fulfilled |
W1:169.10 | Suffice it, then, that you have work to do to play your | part. The ending must remain obscure to you until your part is done. |
W1:169.10 | to play your part. The ending must remain obscure to you until your | part is done. It does not matter. For your part is still what all the |
W1:169.10 | obscure to you until your part is done. It does not matter. For your | part is still what all the rest depends on. As you take the role |
W1:169.12 | bless the world? How could you finally attain to it forever while a | part of you remains outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in need of |
W1:170.11 | perceive their own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a | part of love. And what becomes more fearful than the heart of Love |
W1:R5.10 | incomplete. It waits for you, as I do. I am incomplete without your | part in me. And as I am made whole, we go together to our ancient |
W1:183.9 | as sole Creator of reality. And you acknowledge also that His Son is | part of Him, creating in His Name. Sit silently, and let His Name |
W1:183.10 | forgot and offer it your own remembering. You can accept today the | part you play in its salvation and your own as well, and both can be |
W1:186.1 | but that which has been given you. It offers your acceptance of a | part assigned to you, without insisting on another role. It does not |
W1:186.2 | perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to accept our | part in genuine humility and not deny with self-deceiving arrogance |
W1:186.2 | have the strength to do. Our minds are suited perfectly to take the | part assigned to us by One Who knows us well. |
W1:186.5 | value to it. If God's Voice assures you that salvation needs your | part and that the whole depends on you, be sure that it is so. The |
W1:187.10 | from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is | part of our One Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we |
W1:189.8 | He Who knows the way to you? You need not know the way to Him. Your | part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed |
W1:189.8 | and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His | part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and receive. But do not |
W1:189.10 | our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a | part of Heaven now. Amen. |
W1:190.3 | is no pain. If pain is real, there is no God. For vengeance is not | part of love. And fear, denying love and using pain to prove that God |
W1:191.4 | gone. In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever | part of everything, the central core of its existence, and its |
W1:194.6 | to give as much consistent effort as you can to make it be a | part of you. As it becomes a thought which rules your mind, a habit |
W1:197.4 | matter if another thinks your gifts unworthy. In his mind there is a | part that joins with yours in thanking you. It does not matter if |
W1:197.7 | to all They have created has no end, for gratitude remains a | part of love. |
W1:198.2 | It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom is a | part of knowledge. To condemn is thus impossible in truth. What seems |
W1:199.3 | in it and lives united with the home that it has made. It is a | part of the illusion that has sheltered it from being found illusory |
W1:199.5 | Cherish today's idea, and practice it today and every day. Make it a | part of every practice period you take. There is no thought that will |
W2:I.8 | And so we start upon the final | part of this one holy year which we have spent together in the search |
W2:223.1 | and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no thoughts that are not | part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him. |
W2:228.2 | that Source to enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a | part of me, as I am part of You. And my mistakes about myself are |
W2:228.2 | in a body and to die. My holiness remains a part of me, as I am | part of You. And my mistakes about myself are dreams. I let them go |
W2:WS.2 | So the thought which has the power to heal the split became a | part of every fragment of the mind that still was one but failed to |
W2:235.2 | is mine. Your Love created me and made my sinlessness forever | part of You. I have no guilt or sin in me, for there is none in You. |
W2:238.1 | would give Your Son to me in certainty that He is safe Who still is | part of You and yet is mine because He is my Self. |
W2:240.1 | We are the Son of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a | part of Love Itself. |
W2:243.2 | honor all its parts, in which I am included. We are one because each | part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of us as one. |
W2:244.2 | come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what will forever be a | part of Him? |
W2:247.2 | Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and gave them all to me as | part of You and my own Self as well. Today I honor You through them, |
W2:248.1 | let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever suffers is not | part of me. What grieves is not myself. What is in pain is but |
W2:260.1 | I did. Yet as Your thought, I have not left my Source, remaining | part of What created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let |
W2:262.1 | as a stranger to his Father, nor as stranger to myself. For he is | part of me and I of him, and we are part of You Who are our Source, |
W2:262.1 | as stranger to myself. For he is part of me and I of him, and we are | part of You Who are our Source, eternally united in Your Love, |
W2:WIC.2 | of despair. For hope forever will abide in Him. Your mind is | part of His and His of yours. He is the part in which God's Answer |
W2:WIC.2 | abide in Him. Your mind is part of His and His of yours. He is the | part in which God's Answer lies, where all decisions are already made |
W2:WIC.3 | at peace within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is the only | part of you that has reality in truth. The rest is dreams. Yet will |
W2:278.1 | lost to all reality. For truth is free, and what is bound is not a | part of truth. |
W2:283.2 | with God our Father as our only Source and everything created | part of us. And so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly |
W2:285.2 | to sanity. Your Son is still as You created him. My holiness is | part of me and also part of You. And what can alter Holiness Itself? |
W2:285.2 | Son is still as You created him. My holiness is part of me and also | part of You. And what can alter Holiness Itself? |
W2:WISC.1 | merely the correction of mistakes and the return of sanity. It is a | part of the condition which restores the never-lost and |
W2:317.1 | to fill—a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this | part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave |
W2:318.1 | parts have but one purpose and one aim? How could there be a single | part that stands aside or one of more or less importance than the |
W2:WICR.3 | for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every | part container of the whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed |
W2:WICR.5 | Whose holiness His own creation shares; Whose holiness is still a | part of us. |
W2:328.2 | peace. And happily I share that will which You, my Father, gave as | part of me. |
W2:350.1 | What we forgive becomes a | part of us as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all |
W2:WAI.3 | We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our | part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is |
W2:WAI.3 | the gates of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our | part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth. |
W2:FL.3 | our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as | part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given back completely and |
M:3.3 | simply to say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is | part of God's plan for Atonement, and His plan can have no levels, |
M:6.3 | they have done that, they have also given the outcome, for that is | part of the gift. No one can give if he is concerned with the result |
M:6.3 | giver nor the receiver would have the gift. Trust is an essential | part of giving; in fact, it is the part that makes sharing possible, |
M:6.3 | the gift. Trust is an essential part of giving; in fact, it is the | part that makes sharing possible, the part that guarantees the giver |
M:6.3 | of giving; in fact, it is the part that makes sharing possible, the | part that guarantees the giver will not lose but only gain. Who gives |
M:7.6 | to the exclusion of the patient. It is a failure to recognize him as | part of the self and thus represents a confusion in identity. |
M:9.1 | Remember that no one is where he is by accident, and chance plays no | part in God's plan. It is most unlikely that changes in his attitudes |
M:16.2 | They are not yet ready for such lack of structuring on their own | part. What must they do to learn to give the day to God? There are |
M:21.1 | Strictly speaking, words play no | part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer, or asking. |
M:23.1 | What does calling on his name confer? Why is the appeal to him | part of healing? |
M:23.2 | created him, and in so doing he has recognized all living things as | part of him. There is now no limit on his power, because it is the |
M:23.3 | The whole relationship of the Son to the Father lies in him. His | part in the Sonship is also yours, and his completed learning |
M:24.3 | beliefs. His ego will be enough for him to cope with, and it is not | part of wisdom to add sectarian controversies to his burdens. Nor |
M:27.4 | The curious belief that there is | part of dying things that may go on apart from what will die does not |
M:27.7 | could be stated thus: accept no compromise in which death plays a | part. Do not believe in cruelty nor let attack conceal the truth from |

C:2.12 | tiniest fraction of what is true, if you but believe you are a small | part of God no bigger than a pinprick of light in a daunting sun, you |

C:5.22 | within your world, a solution that requires no exertion on your | part, is seen to be of little value. The individual, you reason, is |

C:5.32 | of darkness. A day in which the sun shone on your world and you felt | part of everything. Every tree and every flower welcomed you. Every |

C:8.4 | of remembering who you really are. It comes forth from the deepest | part of you, from the center in which you are joined with Christ. It |
C:8.11 | all your seeking will not reveal the truth. And while there is a | part of you that knows this, you prefer instead of union a game of |

C:10.3 | You cannot abandon one tenet and retain another because by retaining | part you retain all. This will lead to seeming failure to learn what |
C:10.26 | You may laugh at yourself for taking | part in this silly experiment, but you will realize the desire to |
C:10.27 | more aware of your surroundings, and more aware that your body is | part of everything that is happening. There is your body and six more |

C:12.8 | alone will all the others follow—and through no effort on your | part at all. And even this one change is not a change at all, for it |

C:14.2 | Is it not true that you have made an enemy of creation? Do you feel | part of it and at one with all within it? If not, you have made |
C:14.2 | different from all the rest, and in this seeking proclaim that one | part of creation is better than another part. You thus seek to |
C:14.2 | seeking proclaim that one part of creation is better than another | part. You thus seek to fragment creation as you have fragmented your |
C:14.16 | meant to occur. Although you know not your purpose, at least a | part of you believes that this is true, for there must be some reason |
C:14.18 | to say that you think otherwise. Yet, since only what you know is | part of your universe, do you not see that it depends on you, and if |
C:17.2 | that you would fill as your own Self is held for you by another | part of your consciousness that has never left it. It is the reunion |
C:17.14 | is added to the space in the universe that is yours and has become | part of the whole along with you. All that has proceeded from fear is |
C:18.2 | Imagine that you are | part of a chain of bodies holding hands and encircling the globe. I |
C:18.3 | of a universal nature. It is simply less obvious that you are | part of what has established and keeps a universal order, part of a |
C:18.3 | you are part of what has established and keeps a universal order, | part of a whole that would be a completely different whole without |
C:18.8 | its sights and sounds, joys and sorrows. And yet you are also | part of the projection, and this is where your awareness now abides, |
C:19.7 | I was | part of this means, but only part. Fulfillment can be provided by |
C:19.7 | I was part of this means, but only | part. Fulfillment can be provided by each and every one of your |
C:19.17 | exists it is highly prized. God is thus “God” due, at least in | part, to what you view as His singularity. You view those who worship |
C:19.17 | Still, oneness and unity go together, the unity of creation being | part of the oneness of God, and the oneness of God part of the unity |
C:19.17 | of creation being part of the oneness of God, and the oneness of God | part of the unity of creation. A mind trained by separation can have |
C:19.24 | you have made between mind and heart are their ability to keep one | part of yourself blameless. Whatever happens, your divided notion of |
C:19.24 | both protect and conceal. Fault always lies elsewhere. The guiltless | part of you is always free to redeem the guilt-filled self. This idea |
C:20.17 | exist apart from God. The heartbeat of the world is thus alive and | part of you. This heart connection is what we seek to return you to. |
C:22.10 | Further, it is the | part of you through which everything within your world passes and |
C:22.23 | This intimacy itself will allow you to see your “self” as an integral | part of all that exists within your world rather than as the small |
C:22.23 | You will find that you fulfill a grand purpose, and have a wonderful | part to play in a grand design. You will not feel cheated by losing |
C:25.14 | invulnerability can only be claimed by those who recognize it as | part of their true identity. Invulnerability will then serve you and |
C:25.22 | for change that does not necessarily require action on your | part, you will feel some relief. |
C:26.1 | some amazement that I lived a short life, preached for only a small | part of it, traveled not very far, had few possessions or influential |
C:27.11 | to all the rest. You matter, and you matter as an interactive | part of the relationship that is life. You are already accomplished |
C:29.11 | While this is neither good nor bad, this attitude of life as toil is | part of your rebellion against ideas of service. You have no time for |
C:30.3 | little children, and inhale the world around you in order to make it | part of your Self. Be like the little children, and learn in order to |
C:31.8 | countries, various cities, but all of you rely on the one Earth as | part of a sameness and interdependence you accept. You are aware that |
C:31.8 | the cosmos too is something that the Earth and all on the Earth are | part of. You believe fully that you are inseparable from the Earth, |
C:31.9 | nature of perfection and your own Self as Creator and Created. Being | part of the whole that is your known universe has made you and no |
C:31.11 | able, in your limited view of yourself, to come up with. There is a | part of you that knows that you have higher thoughts, and knows that |
C:31.14 | The ego is that | part of yourself that clings to the idea of separation, and thus |
C:31.26 | you are. What you have learned in truth resides in your mind as a | part of you. What you have not yet learned from awaits your learning |
T1:2.14 | The sunset is a gift of God. It is what it is. This is the first | part of this example. |
T1:2.15 | The second | part is its reception. A gift has been given. What is your response? |
T1:2.16 | The sunset is | part of your human experience. In the lower order of that experience |
T1:2.17 | is acknowledged. It is a fact of your existence as a human being, a | part of the natural world, a gift of the Creator. Secondly, it is |
T1:2.21 | God is to be present as a divine being having a human experience. No | part of being is negated. All senses and feelings of the human being |
T1:5.4 | The second aspect of this fear is fear of the divine. A | part of this fear of the divine is related to the fear of the human |
T1:5.4 | actually grow stronger as you get closer to the truth. This is the | part of you that believes this communication itself is insane, that |
T1:5.6 | A | part of you is aware of this and as fearful of the all of everything |

T2:1.1 | becomes instead something regarded as an ability and later as simply | part of your identity. This is what we are going to explore in this |
T2:4.2 | You are not only | part of creation, but as has been said many times, a creator, and as |
T2:4.15 | until it is no longer needed. Anything continuous and ongoing is | part of creation. Thus the very act of undoing old patterns is an act |
T2:6.5 | abilities within time. You believe that your treasures only become | part of your identity when you have passed beyond the time it takes |
T2:6.6 | would place on the concept of something being what it is, must be | part of this discussion. |
T2:6.7 | be what it is, a known fact, an object with an identity, but also | part of the ongoing nature of creation. Could this be true of a chair |
T2:9.7 | also inherently knows that needs and the fulfillment of needs are | part of the same fabric—they are like puzzle pieces that fit |
T2:12.10 | it to flourish and show its abundance. The gardener knows she is | part of the relationship that is the garden. A true gardener believes |
T3:1.6 | unreal reality. It is as if you have been an actor upon a stage, the | part you play as unreal as the setting on which you play it. Yet |
T3:1.6 | on which you play it. Yet there is a “you” who has been playing the | part, a part that, while developed under the ego's direction, still |
T3:1.6 | you play it. Yet there is a “you” who has been playing the part, a | part that, while developed under the ego's direction, still allowed |
T3:1.7 | system of unity and you are left, perhaps, feeling unsure of the | part you are now to play. There is not one of you who has not begun |
T3:2.4 | discuss the ego's thought system. What you believe about yourself is | part of the foundation that has been built around this system. Now, |
T3:3.9 | Whether you think such thoughts consciously or not, there is a | part of you that still believes you are not good enough to be the |
T3:5.4 | walls to ash or a flood that would wash them away, was as much a | part of the survival mechanism of your real Self as was the rush to |
T3:5.4 | survival mechanism of your real Self as was the rush to rebuild a | part of the survival mechanism of the ego-self. |
T3:6.5 | or unrecognizable. But it has become, like the ego, so much a | part of your reality that it must, like the ego, be consciously left |
T3:8.13 | Has not a | part of you always known that suffering does not have to be even |
T3:14.12 | nature and look upon nature's ability to correct itself. You are a | part of nature. Your body can correct or heal itself, and so can your |
T3:16.16 | that only seem to have the ability to build upon each other. Let one | part go and soon all the remaining parts will crumble into the dust |
T3:18.2 | Observation, the ability to observe what the Self expresses, was | part of the original choice for physical form. The word observance |
T3:18.3 | observer and this relationship causes an effect. Because this was | part of the original choice for the physical experience, it is a |
T3:21.12 | than these things, although this hasn't as often been considered as | part of what makes you certain of your personal self, are the |
T3:21.12 | among you rarely count what you have acquired in form as | part of your identity. What you have acquired that is not of form, |
T3:21.12 | you hold certain. A degree earned or talent developed is seen as | part of your identity, as part of who you are. |
T3:21.12 | earned or talent developed is seen as part of your identity, as | part of who you are. |
T3:21.13 | the parameters of your belief system. You think of these things as | part of what make up the totality of who you are, of your personal |
T4:2.23 | that are likely to have an impact on your life or on your | part of the world. But unless you believe in the ability for what |
T4:4.8 | Changing form is | part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the form you |
T4:4.8 | spoken of as that of elevation of the personal self, is a natural | part of the pattern of life-everlasting. It is long over-due. It is |
T4:5.7 | Just as your finger is but one | part of your body, without being separate from your body, or other |
T4:5.7 | being separate from your body, or other than your body, you are | part of the body of Christ, the body of energy that makes up the |
T4:6.1 | Now I ask you to consider the | part you play in the creation of this all-encompassing consciousness. |
T4:6.1 | you alive or dead, asleep or awake, literally or figuratively, is a | part of the consciousness that is Christ-consciousness. This is why |
T4:8.12 | rebellion against the constraints of your nature in form thus became | part of the pattern of creation because it was the created's |
T4:12.4 | you will realize that it also addresses you individually and as | part of the collectivity of the whole. This dialogue will, however, |
T4:12.16 | rebellion was the effect of the cause of learned wisdom. It became | part of the nature of the human experience by becoming so consistent |
T4:12.27 | was known to you in the pattern of that design, a pattern that was | part of the pattern of your thoughts, even after the ego came to rule |
T4:12.27 | ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the personal self. | Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of free will. |
T4:12.33 | of the design or pattern that reveals our lack of separation is | part of the creation that is before us. It will be mutually decided |
T4:12.34 | Creation of the new has begun. We are an interactive | part of this creative act of a loving Creator. Creation is a |
D:2.23 | This is the agreement God asks of you, your | part of the shared agreement that will fulfill the promises of your |
D:4.11 | without accepting that a divine design exists and that you are | part of it. Remember that our goal here is to deny the old and accept |
D:4.11 | that the universe exists in divine order, and that your life is | part of that divine design. |
D:4.15 | have accepted as the truth. Some of these systems of thought were | part of the divine pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a |
D:4.16 | Other systems of thought were not | part of the divine pattern. The ego is one such system. It may seem |
D:4.16 | systems, built as they were upon patterns now being recreated, are | part of the old. |
D:4.29 | is the return of wholeness. This return is not selfish on your | part, but magnanimous. It returns wholeness to you and wholeness to |
D:4.30 | fail. This will not bring suffering but will end suffering. Your | part is to invite it and accept it when it comes. State your |
D:6.13 | a grand facilitator of the human spirit's quest for the truth and is | part of what brought you, finally, to the quest to know your Self. |
D:7.3 | rise or set to separate day into night. Resting and waking will be | part of the same continuum of being. |
D:7.23 | adaptation, and evolution moves with them. But evolution in time is | part of the old that needs to be left behind. It is a provision of |
D:8.4 | one of the primary factors leading to this realization because a | part of you has always known this ability was a “given.” That you are |
D:13.11 | We come now to the second | part of what we are exploring together here, the idea that what you |
D:Day1.21 | you. When it occurred within me, it occurred within all. It became | part of the continuing story of creation, of creation acted out |
D:Day1.22 | The story came after the fact. Thus the fulfillment was always | part of the story of creation. It was always part of you as it was |
D:Day1.22 | fulfillment was always part of the story of creation. It was always | part of you as it was always part of me. |
D:Day1.22 | of the story of creation. It was always part of you as it was always | part of me. |

D:Day3.59 | this Course, this is a matter of all or nothing. You cannot accept | part of one reality and part of another. You cannot accept, for |
D:Day3.59 | matter of all or nothing. You cannot accept part of one reality and | part of another. You cannot accept, for instance, the compassionate |
D:Day4.1 | here all the “arguments” that I needed to present in the early | part of this Course just to convince you that you are not alone and |
D:Day4.6 | The divine design of learning was a given and a natural | part of you, much like breathing. You have no choice about breathing, |
D:Day4.54 | have to be accepting. Accepting of all that you are. Fear is not a | part of what you are, which is why it cannot remain with you as the |
D:Day5.9 | as the center of the Self rather than the pump that functions as | part of your body, it will be helpful to have identified this chosen |
D:Day5.15 | Realize here that although you are now a | part of a community seeking the same goal, the realization, or |
D:Day10.17 | | Part of the difficulty you find in accepting reliance on your Self is |
D:Day13.7 | you become completely fearless and totally spacious, for fear is | part of the density of form, being a lack of love. |
D:Day16.6 | all that has been rejected or ejected. All that has been expelled is | part of the wholeness of the self. As what was ejected or rejected |
D:Day16.10 | grief, anger, and all else that you feel because these feelings are | part of who you are in the present moment. When you remain in the |
D:Day19.5 | their brothers and sisters called to “do,” do not have a specific | part to play in establishing the world in which all are able to be |
D:Day25.2 | within this stillness, however. As it envelopes you, there is a | part of you that will fight back. If there is nothing new to record, |
D:Day25.2 | new to record, nothing new to learn, no new divine inspiration, a | part of your mind will attempt to create from this nothingness. Allow |

D:Day28.20 | by the variable of time. Said in another way, eternity and time are | part of the same continuum as are properties such as hot and cold. |
D:Day28.20 | the same continuum as are properties such as hot and cold. They are | part of the same whole that is the constant of all that is whole— |
D:Day29.5 | so newly discovered and yet always existing within you, has been a | part of the process that has allowed you access to two levels of |

D:Day29.6 | with your spacious self has also been part of the process and | part of the experience of merging wholeness and separation. While you |

D:Day39.11 | behind, are not done away with but only transformed. Relationship is | part of life. Inescapable. Acceptance that our relationship is and |

Tx:12.66 | The peace of God passeth your understanding only in the | past. Yet here it is, and you can understand it now. God loves |

Tx:13.1 | is why the Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He teaches that the | past does not exist, a fact which belongs to the sphere of knowledge |
Tx:13.5 | in the same light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the | past thus brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and |
Tx:13.11 | and having done so, they will condemn, linking the future to the | past as is the ego's law. Fidelity unto this law lets no light in, |
Tx:13.11 | are guilty, and so they must condemn. Between the future and the | past, the laws of God must intervene if you would free yourselves. |
Tx:13.13 | You will accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the | past, the future will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you |
Tx:13.14 | You do not believe the Son of God is guiltless because you see the | past and see him not. When you condemn a brother, you are saying, |
Tx:13.14 | witness unto yours. You could as easily have freed him from the | past and lifted from his mind the cloud of guilt that binds him to |
Tx:13.23 | but the source lies in the past, you are not looking inward. The | past is not in you. Your weird associations to it have no meaning |
Tx:13.23 | all. Can you expect to use your brothers as a means to “solve” the | past and still to see them as they really are? Salvation is not found |
Tx:13.23 | problems which are not there. You wanted not salvation in the | past. Would you impose your idle wishes on the present and hope to |
Tx:13.24 | then, to be not as you were. Use no relationship to hold you to the | past, but with each one each day be born again. A minute, even less, |
Tx:13.24 | born again. A minute, even less, will be enough to free you from the | past and give your mind in peace over to the Atonement. When everyone |
Tx:13.36 | Nothing destructive ever was or will be. The war, the guilt, the | past are gone as one into the unreality from which they came. |
Tx:13.62 | All this lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the | past and open up the way to freedom for you. For truth is true. |
Tx:14.38 | lay in the decision to be not as you were. Thus, truth was made | past, and the present was dedicated to illusion. And the past, too, |
Tx:14.38 | was made past, and the present was dedicated to illusion. And the | past, too, was changed and interposed between what always was and |
Tx:14.38 | was changed and interposed between what always was and now. The | past which you remember never was and represents only the denial |
Tx:14.60 | forever from everything that you have taught yourselves in the | past by showing you only what you are now. Learning has been |
Tx:14.60 | before its effects are manifest. Learning is therefore in the | past, but its influence determines the present by giving it whatever |
Tx:14.60 | can help you understand the present or teach you how to undo the | past. Your past is what you have taught yourselves. Let it all |
Tx:14.60 | you understand the present or teach you how to undo the past. Your | past is what you have taught yourselves. Let it all go. Do not |
Tx:14.65 | And so I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not use my own | past learning as the light to guide me now. |
Tx:14.69 | has corrected already. They do not exist in His Mind at all. For the | past binds Him not and therefore binds not you. He does not see time |
Tx:14.70 | He Who has freed you from the | past would teach you are free of it. He would but have you accept |
Tx:15.6 | ego allows anyone to look upon with some amount of equanimity is the | past. And even there its only value is that it is no more. |
Tx:15.7 | And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical insistence that the | past and future be the same is hidden a far more insidious threat to |
Tx:15.9 | undo all of this now. Fear is not of the present but only of the | past and future, which do not exist. There is no fear in the present |
Tx:15.9 | in the present when each instant stands clear and separated from the | past, without its shadow reaching out into the future. Each instant |
Tx:15.9 | a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of God emerges from the | past into the present. And the present extends forever. It is so |
Tx:15.10 | This lesson takes no time. For what is time without a | past and future? It has taken time to misguide you so completely, |
Tx:15.10 | it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you here out of the | past, and it is here that you are completely absolved, completely |
Tx:15.16 | gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you will let go all your | past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole |
Tx:15.35 | you. You must decide on when it is. Delay it not. For beyond the | past and future, in which you will not find it, it stands in |
Tx:15.45 | is to suspend judgment entirely. Judgment always rests on the | past, for past experience is the basis on which you judge. Judgment |
Tx:15.45 | suspend judgment entirely. Judgment always rests on the past, for | past experience is the basis on which you judge. Judgment becomes |
Tx:15.45 | basis on which you judge. Judgment becomes impossible without the | past, for without it you do not understand anything. You would make |
Tx:15.46 | The | past is the ego's chief learning device, for it is in the past that |
Tx:15.46 | The past is the ego's chief learning device, for it is in the | past that you learned to define your own needs and acquired methods |
Tx:15.52 | on no one to make them different. Without the values from the | past, you would see them all the same and like yourself. Nor |
Tx:15.53 | parallels His knowing by bringing all perception out of the | past, thus removing the frame of reference you have built by which to |
Tx:15.53 | timelessness lies only here. For in the holy instant, free of the | past, you see that love is in you, and you have no need to look |
Tx:15.64 | as is truth. There is no exclusion in the holy instant because the | past is gone and with it goes the whole basis for exclusion. |
Tx:16.3 | learned of empathy is from the past. And there is nothing from the | past that you would share, for there is nothing there that you would |
Tx:16.3 | nothing there that you would keep. Do not use empathy to make the | past real and so perpetuate it. Step gently aside and let the healing |
Tx:16.4 | I am not alone, and I would not intrude the | past upon my Guest. I have invited Him, and He is here. I need do |

Tx:16.71 | nothing. Do not seek to lay the blame for deprivation on it, for the | past is gone. You cannot really not let go what has already gone. |
Tx:16.71 | purpose could not be fulfilled in the present, but only in the | past. |
Tx:16.72 | underestimate the intensity of the ego's drive for vengeance on the | past. It is completely savage and completely insane. For the ego |
Tx:16.72 | its hate are fantasies of your destruction. For the ego holds the | past against you, and in your escape from the past, it sees |
Tx:16.72 | the ego holds the past against you, and in your escape from the | past, it sees itself deprived of the vengeance it believes that you |
Tx:16.72 | alliance in your own destruction, the ego could not hold you to the | past. |
Tx:16.73 | is useless to you while you pursue the ego's goal as its ally. The | past is gone; seek not to preserve it in the special relationship, |
Tx:16.73 | which binds you to it and would teach you that salvation is | past and that you must return to the past to find salvation. There |
Tx:16.73 | teach you that salvation is past and that you must return to the | past to find salvation. There is no fantasy which does not contain |
Tx:16.73 | no fantasy which does not contain the dream of retribution for the | past. Would you act out the dream or let it go? |
Tx:16.75 | of the ego's fixed belief in salvation through vengeance for the | past. In the holy instant, it is accepted that the past is gone, and |
Tx:16.75 | vengeance for the past. In the holy instant, it is accepted that the | past is gone, and with its passing the drive for vengeance has been |
Tx:16.78 | you have held against your brothers. Their reality has no | past, and only illusions can be forgiven. God holds nothing against |
Tx:17.12 | all illusions which had twisted your perception and fixed it on the | past. The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder and a blade of |
Tx:17.14 | is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the | past and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten. |
Tx:17.16 | both the slaves of vengeance. And why whatever reminds you of your | past grievances, no matter how distorted the associations by which |
Tx:17.20 | has been forgotten, what remains is eternal. And the transformed | past is made like the present. No longer does the past conflict |
Tx:17.20 | the transformed past is made like the present. No longer does the | past conflict with now. This continuity extends the present by |
Tx:17.20 | Who gives it life and beauty. That is why Atonement centers on the | past, which is the source of separation, and where it must be |
Tx:17.23 | unholy by seeing it where it is not and as it is not. Give the | past to Him Who can change your mind about it for you. But first be |
Tx:17.23 | you. But first be sure you fully realize what you have made the | past to represent and why. |
Tx:17.24 | In brief, the | past is now your justification for entering into a continuing, unholy |
Tx:17.24 | to which the present is referred for meaning is an illusion of the | past in which those elements which fit the purpose of the unholy |
Tx:17.24 | all the rest let go. And what is thus let go is all the truth the | past could ever offer to the present as witnesses for its reality, |
Tx:17.59 | meant. And you will be wrong. Not only is your judgment in the | past, but you have no idea what should happen. No goal was set with |
Tx:17.70 | this in perfect safety. Yet for all its might, so great it reaches | past the stars and to the universe that lies beyond them, your little |
Tx:17.71 | you really blame him for is what you did to him. It is not his | past but yours you hold against him. And you lack faith in him |
Tx:17.72 | or will ever enter. And every situation was thus made free of the | past, which would have made it purposeless. |
Tx:18.30 | not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really | past. Time has been readjusted to help us do together what your |
Tx:18.30 | us do together what your separate pasts would hinder. You have gone | past fear, for no two minds can join in the desire for love without |
Tx:18.31 | extend back into darkness and forward unto God to shine away the | past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which everything |
Tx:18.40 | is not only possible but has already happened. And that is why the | past has gone. It never happened in reality. Only in your minds, |
Tx:18.60 | seeming quality. Time is not relevant; it can occur with something | past, present, or anticipated. The “something” can be anything and |
Tx:18.65 | or anticipated, but never experienced just now. Only its | past and future make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin |
Tx:18.65 | attraction is imaginary and therefore must be thought of in the | past or in the future. |
Tx:18.66 | reservation unless just for an instant you are willing to see no | past or future. You cannot prepare for it without placing it in the |
Tx:18.69 | your mind. Here is the quick and open door through which you slip | past centuries of effort and escape from time. This is the way in |
Tx:18.69 | sin loses all attraction right now. For here is time denied and | past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for time. To do |
Tx:18.92 | your Guide teach you their unsubstantial nature as He leads you | past them, for beneath them is a world of light whereon they cast no |
Tx:19.10 | therefore share it. By faith you offer the gift of freedom from the | past, which you received. You do not use anything your brother has |
Tx:19.10 | condemn him now. You freely choose to overlook his errors, looking | past all barriers between your self and his and seeing them as one. |
Tx:19.12 | upon himself. Faith sees him only now because it looks not to the | past to judge him, but would see in him only what it would see in |
Tx:19.23 | the “truth” from which escape will always be impossible. This is his | past, his present, and his future. For he has somehow managed to |
Tx:19.37 | of the world outside. Yet peace will gently cover them, extending | past completely unhindered. The extension of the Holy Spirit's |
Tx:19.49 | which it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must look | past fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end of |
Tx:19.64 | through to bless the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to walk | past barriers together when you have joined the limitless? The end of |
Tx:19.78 | a shadow cannot kill. What is a shadow to the living? They but walk | past, and it is gone. But what of those whose dedication it is not |
Tx:20.11 | You have the vision now to look | past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no |
Tx:20.14 | we join in glad awareness that the Son of God is risen from the | past and has awakened to the present. Now is he free, unlimited in |
Tx:20.15 | And by the hands that gave it to each other shall both of you be led | past fear to love. |
Tx:20.42 | All that it ever held or will ever hold is here right now. The | past takes nothing from it, and the future will add no more. Here, |
Tx:20.57 | with God as equal things are like unto each other. Idolatry is | past and meaningless. Perhaps you fear each other a little yet; |
Tx:21.10 | Beyond the body, beyond the sun and stars, | past everything you see and yet somehow familiar, is an arc of golden |
Tx:21.44 | insanity and recognize its madness. Your faith is moving inward, | past insanity and on to reason. And what your reason tells you now, |
Tx:21.55 | clear. Only the totally insane can disregard them, and you have gone | past this. Reason is a means which serves the Holy Spirit's purpose |
Tx:22.33 | were made to see. And they were made to look on error and not see | past it. Theirs is indeed a strange perception, for they can see only |
Tx:22.57 | form of suffering could block your sight, preventing you from seeing | past it? And what illusion could there be you will not recognize as a |
Tx:23.54 | is in awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. It is their | past, their present, and their future always the same, eternally |
Tx:24.57 | till what has been assigned to you is done and he is risen from the | past. He who condemned himself, and you as well, is given you to save |
Tx:24.67 | is there any way to learn what this condition means. Not till you go | past learning to the Given; not till you make again a holy home for |
Tx:25.7 | looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light merely by looking | past it to the light. The veil is lifted through its gentleness, |
Tx:25.12 | is no exception, nor will there ever be. The only value that the | past can hold is that you learn it gave you no rewards that you would |
Tx:25.15 | Its | past has failed. Be glad that it is gone within your mind to darken |
Tx:26.14 | that it is one which has no resolution, you have made it great and | past the hope of healing. You deny the miracle of justice can be |
Tx:26.20 | upon perception. They are brought together, and only one continues | past the gate where Oneness is. Salvation is a borderland where place |
Tx:26.25 | And what is charity within the world gives way to simple justice | past the gate that opens into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has |
Tx:26.33 | time, though it has long since gone. You think you live in what is | past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago |
Tx:26.34 | still be there for you to choose to be your teacher. Only in the | past—an ancient past, too short to make a world in answer to |
Tx:26.34 | for you to choose to be your teacher. Only in the past—an ancient | past, too short to make a world in answer to creation—did this |
Tx:26.36 | is the great release from time. It is the key to learning that the | past is over. Madness speaks no more. There is no other teacher and |
Tx:26.37 | a hindrance to the place whereon he stands? Is any echo from the | past that he may hear a fact in what is there to hear where he is |
Tx:26.37 | where he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that calls out from a | past forever more gone by. And everything which points to it as real |
Tx:26.37 | what is really now and here. Is this a hindrance to the truth the | past is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you want that |
Tx:26.38 | Can sin withstand the Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the | past and put it in the present? You can not go back. And everything |
Tx:26.38 | go back. And everything that points the way in the direction of the | past but sets you on a mission whose accomplishment can only be |
Tx:26.39 | will teach you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant | past, now perfectly corrected, is of no concern nor value. Let the |
Tx:26.39 | place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. No | past illusions have the power to keep you in a place of death, a |
Tx:26.40 | And will you not forgive him now because he made an error in the | past that God remembers not and is not there? Now you are shifting |
Tx:26.40 | and is not there? Now you are shifting back and forth between the | past and present. Sometimes the past seems real, as if it were the |
Tx:26.40 | shifting back and forth between the past and present. Sometimes the | past seems real, as if it were the present. Voices from the past are |
Tx:26.40 | the past seems real, as if it were the present. Voices from the | past are heard and then are doubted. You are like to one who still |
Tx:26.40 | This is the borderland between the worlds, the bridge between the | past and present. Here the shadow of the past remains, but still a |
Tx:26.40 | the bridge between the past and present. Here the shadow of the | past remains, but still a present light is dimly recognized. Once it |
Tx:26.40 | seen, this light can never be forgotten. It must draw you from the | past into the present, where you really are. |
Tx:26.41 | not change the laws of time or of eternity. They come from what is | past and gone and hinder not the true existence of the here and now. |
Tx:26.42 | so you die each day to live again until you cross the gap between | past and present, which is not a gap at all. Such is each life—a |
Tx:26.43 | Forgive the | past and let it go, for it is gone. You stand no longer on the |
Tx:26.52 | Yet the belief that it is real has made some errors seem forever | past the hope of healing and the lasting grounds for hell. If this |
Tx:27.12 | achieved is merely this—to let the body have no purpose from the | past, when you were sure you knew its purpose was to foster guilt. |
Tx:27.59 | a world of sin. The miracle forgives because it stands for what is | past forgiveness and is true. How foolish and insane it is to think a |
Tx:28.1 | of them and loved them for a little while. The miracle but shows the | past is gone, and what has truly gone has no effects. Remembering a |
Tx:28.2 | its effects? Remembering is as selective as perception, being its | past tense. It is perception of the past as if it were occurring now |
Tx:28.2 | as perception, being its past tense. It is perception of the | past as if it were occurring now and still were there to see. Memory, |
Tx:28.4 | use of memory, for God Himself is there. Yet this is not a memory of | past events, but only of a present state. You are so long accustomed |
Tx:28.4 | You are so long accustomed to believe that memory holds only what is | past that it is hard for you to realize it is a skill that can |
Tx:28.4 | you let the world impose on you. There is no link of memory to the | past. If you would have it there, then there it is. But only your |
Tx:28.5 | apart from time. He does not seek to use it as a means to keep the | past, but rather as a way to let it go. Memory holds the message it |
Tx:28.5 | what it is. Committed to its vaults, the history of all the body's | past is hidden there. All of the strange associations made to keep |
Tx:28.5 | is hidden there. All of the strange associations made to keep the | past alive, the present dead, are stored within it, waiting your |
Tx:28.6 | away nor can restore. And yet you make strange use of it, as if the | past had caused the present, which is but a consequence in which no |
Tx:28.6 | will not last. No change can be made in the present if its cause is | past. Only the past is held in memory as you make use of it, and so |
Tx:28.6 | No change can be made in the present if its cause is past. Only the | past is held in memory as you make use of it, and so it is a way to |
Tx:28.6 | held in memory as you make use of it, and so it is a way to hold the | past against the now. |
Tx:28.8 | Holy Spirit has remembered for you, when you would forget. It is not | past because He let It not be unremembered. It has never changed |
Tx:28.9 | changeless and as perfect as Itself. Its memory does not lie in the | past nor await the future. It is not revealed in miracles. They but |
Tx:28.13 | to keep the memory away. Its own remembering has gone. There is no | past to keep its fearful image in the way of glad awakening to |
Tx:28.13 | from before his own remembering came in between the present and the | past to shut them out. |
Tx:28.14 | There never was a cause beside It that could generate a different | past or future. Its effects are changelessly eternal, beyond fear, |
Tx:28.14 | or future. Its effects are changelessly eternal, beyond fear, and | past the world of sin entirely. |
Tx:29.3 | obstacle that peace must flow across has not yet gone. The rest are | past, but this one still remains to block your path and make the way |
Tx:29.48 | seek outside yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the world the | past has given it. For otherwise, the future will be like the past |
Tx:29.48 | the past has given it. For otherwise, the future will be like the | past and but a series of depressing dreams in which all idols fail |
Tx:29.57 | This is the anti-Christ—the strange idea there is a power | past omnipotence, a place beyond the infinite, a time transcending |
Tx:30.64 | surely as His Father's love rests upon Him. His gratitude to you is | past your understanding, for you have enabled Him to rise from chains |
Tx:30.75 | meaning of a fixed belief that some appearances are harder to look | past than others are. It always means you think forgiveness must be |
Tx:31.10 | as itself. How wrong are you who fail to hear the call that echoes | past each seeming call to death, that sings behind each murderous |
Tx:31.12 | is he born again to you, and you are born again to him without the | past that sentenced him to die, and you with him. Now is he free to |
Tx:31.14 | are they different. Yet must we see them both before you can look | past them to the one alternative that is a different choice. But |
Tx:31.73 | and futility. Yet it need not be fixed unless you choose to hold it | past the hope of change and keep it static and concealed within your |
Tx:31.80 | is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees no | past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a wholly open mind, |
Tx:31.96 | outstretched to every brother who would join with me in reaching | past temptation and who looks with fixed determination toward the |
W1:3.2 | The point of the exercises is to help you clear your mind of all | past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you now, |
W1:7.9 | Do you see a cup, or are you merely reviewing your | past experiences of picking up a cup, being thirsty, drinking from a |
W1:7.9 | so on? Are not your aesthetic reactions to the cup, too, based on | past experiences? How else would you know whether or not this kind of |
W1:7.9 | it? What do you know about this cup except what you learned in the | past? You would have no idea what this cup is except for your past |
W1:7.9 | in the past? You would have no idea what this cup is except for your | past learning. Do you, then, really see it? |
W1:7.11 | I see only the | past in this pencil. I see only the past in this shoe. I see only the |
W1:7.11 | I see only the past in this pencil. I see only the | past in this shoe. I see only the past in this hand. I see only the |
W1:7.11 | in this pencil. I see only the past in this shoe. I see only the | past in this hand. I see only the past in that body. I see only the |
W1:7.11 | past in this shoe. I see only the past in this hand. I see only the | past in that body. I see only the past in that face. |
W1:7.11 | past in this hand. I see only the past in that body. I see only the | past in that face. |
W1:8.1 | This idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the | past. No one really sees anything. He sees only his thoughts |
W1:8.1 | his thoughts projected outward. The mind's preoccupation with the | past is the cause of the total misconception about time from which |
W1:8.2 | The only wholly true thought one can hold about the | past is that it is not here. To think about it at all is therefore to |
W1:8.2 | few minds have realized what is actually entailed in picturing the | past or in anticipating the future. The mind is actually blank when |
W1:8.9 | But my mind is preoccupied with | past thoughts. |
W1:10.3 | are meaningless, outside rather than within, and then stressed their | past rather than their present status. Now we are emphasizing that |
W1:21.2 | Then close your eyes and search your mind carefully for situations | past, present or anticipated, which arouse anger in you. The anger |
W1:28.3 | mind to what it is and what it is for. You are not defining it in | past terms. You are asking what it is, rather than telling it what it |
W1:41.4 | all you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get | past this dark and heavy cloud and to go through it to the light |
W1:41.5 | to think of anything. Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, | past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply |
W1:41.6 | and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach | past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and |
W1:44.7 | go every kind of interference and intrusion by quietly sinking | past them. Your mind cannot be stopped in this unless you choose to |
W1:45.8 | Then try to go | past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and |
W1:47.4 | Today we will try to reach | past your own weakness to the Source of real strength. Four |
W1:47.6 | Now try to slip | past all concerns related to your own sense of inadequacy. It is |
W1:49.4 | Listen in deep silence. Be very still, and open your mind. Go | past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real |
W1:52.3 | [7] I see only the | past. As I look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I call this |
W1:52.3 | I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the | past against everyone and everything, making them my “enemies.” When |
W1:52.3 | I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no | past and therefore no “enemies.” And I will look with love on all |
W1:52.4 | [8] My mind is preoccupied with | past thoughts. I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is |
W1:52.4 | I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with the | past. What, then, can I see as it is? Let me remember that I look on |
W1:52.4 | What, then, can I see as it is? Let me remember that I look on the | past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let me |
W1:52.4 | that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the | past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing. |
W1:52.5 | I can see only what is now. The choice is not whether to see the | past or the present: it is whether to see or not. What I have chosen |
W1:56.4 | let the door behind this world be opened for me that I may look | past it to the world that reflects the Love of God. |
W1:56.5 | and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look | past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond them all. |
W1:66.3 | Today we will try to go | past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about |
W1:67.5 | drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to reach | past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the truth |
W1:67.6 | to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going | past that and through the interval of thoughtlessness to the |
W1:69.2 | get in touch with the salvation of the world. We are trying to see | past the veil of darkness that keeps it concealed. We are trying to |
W1:69.5 | there is to see. Therefore you do not attempt to go through them and | past them, which is the only way in which you would be really |
W1:69.6 | much you want to reach the light in you today—now. Determine to go | past the clouds. Reach out and touch them in your mind; brush them |
W1:70.10 | of the external places where you have looked for salvation in the | past—in other people, in possessions, in various situations and |
W1:70.12 | it is in them you have been looking for it. It is not there. It is | past the clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you will have |
W1:75.3 | passing of the old and the beginning of the new. No shadows from the | past remain to darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers |
W1:75.7 | Dwell not upon the | past today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and |
W1:75.7 | not upon the past today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all | past ideas and clean of every concept you have made. You have |
W1:75.11 | on this day there is a new beginning. Without the darkness of the | past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today. And what you see |
W1:78.12 | everyone you meet and to the ones you think of or remember from the | past, allow the role of savior to be given that you may share it with |
W1:92.4 | Strength overlooks these things by seeing | past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that lies |
W1:94.6 | to reach this goal except to lay all idols and self-images aside, go | past the long list of attributes, both “good” and “bad,” you have |
W1:106.3 | not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the world; walk lightly | past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not. Be still today, and |
W1:106.3 | Hear them not. Be still today, and listen to the truth. Go | past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness |
W1:106.11 | And they will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is | past, you will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that |
W1:109.3 | undismayed this thought will carry you through storms and strife, | past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the |
W1:109.3 | will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, | past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no |
W1:109.5 | concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no fear of future, and no | past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while time goes by without |
W1:110.2 | any mind has made at any time or place. It is enough to heal the | past and make the future free. It is enough to let the present be |
W1:110.3 | one to let redemption come to light the world and free it from the | past. |
W1:110.4 | In this one thought is all the | past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless |
W1:127.9 | learn. Let us give thanks today that we are spared a future like the | past. Today we leave the past behind us, never more to be remembered. |
W1:127.9 | today that we are spared a future like the past. Today we leave the | past behind us, never more to be remembered. And we raise our eyes |
W1:127.9 | our eyes upon a different present, where a future shines unlike the | past in every attribute. |
W1:131.7 | wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion; it is | past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God wills |
W1:131.7 | where God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the | past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and |
W1:131.7 | God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a | past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a |
W1:131.15 | sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only what lies | past it do you seek. |
W1:131.17 | approach this door some day and through His aid slip effortlessly | past it to the light. Today that day has come. Today God keeps His |
W1:132.3 | You free the | past from what you thought before. You free the future from all |
W1:132.3 | time. Here in the present is the world set free. For as you let the | past be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you |
W1:134.3 | and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to look | past what is there; to overlook the truth in an unfounded effort to |
W1:135.2 | it is this you do when you attempt to plan the future, activate the | past, or organize the present as you wish. You operate from the |
W1:135.16 | emphasis to be controlled by learning and experience obtained from | past events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it |
W1:135.16 | beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the | past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future course. |
W1:135.17 | it has learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its | past experience directs its choice of what will happen. And it does |
W1:135.17 | now is everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the | past without a continuity of any old ideas and sick beliefs. |
W1:135.19 | not accept if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, | past, present, and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only |
W1:151.12 | a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and the world, | past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself. |
W1:153.9 | We look | past dreams today and recognize that we need no defense because we |
W1:155.6 | ahead of you, speak to them through illusion, for the road leads | past illusion now, while on the way you call to them that they may |
W1:156.7 | you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish thought. The | past is gone with all its fantasies. They keep you bound no longer. |
W1:156.7 | and mistake Him for the senseless, ancient dream that now is | past. |
W1:157.2 | the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what lies | past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us there |

W1:164.1 | there—not in our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks | past time and sees eternity as represented there. He hears the sounds |
W1:165.6 | Now is all doubting | past, the journey's end made certain, and salvation given you. Now is |
W1:169.1 | most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world entirely. It is | past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come until |
W1:169.6 | completely. It returns the mind into the endless present, where the | past and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past |
W1:169.6 | the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation— | past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. |
W1:169.9 | things beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is | past already. Yet what meaning can the words convey to those who |
W1:I2.3 | there, but you cannot accept its presence. So we now attempt to go | past all defenses for a little while each day. No more than this is |
W1:181.1 | to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and | past his seeming sins as well as yours. |
W1:181.2 | faith receives its only sure support from what you see in others | past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to |
W1:181.4 | A major hazard to success has been involvement with your | past and future goals. You have been quite preoccupied with how |
W1:181.4 | will inevitably lose your way again. How could this matter? For the | past is gone, the future but imagined. These concerns are but |
W1:181.5 | lay these pointless limitations by a little while. We do not look to | past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon us now. |
W1:181.6 | So, for a little while, without regard to | past or future, should such blocks arise, we will transcend them with |
W1:182.4 | are a memory now so distorted that you merely hold a picture of a | past that never happened. Yet there is a Child in you Who seeks His |
W1:189.7 | is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the | past has taught nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. |
W1:194.4 | God holds your future as He holds your | past and present. They are one to Him, and so they should be one to |
W1:194.4 | hands. And you will see by your experience that you have laid the | past and present in His hands as well because the past will punish |
W1:194.4 | you have laid the past and present in His hands as well because the | past will punish you no more and future dread will now be meaningless. |
W1:194.5 | Release the future. For the | past is gone, and what is present, freed from its bequest of grief |
W1:196.3 | you will see within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking | past all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to thoughts of |
W1:198.4 | Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster, | past all suffering, and finally away from death. How could there be |
W1:214.1 | [194] I place the future in the hands of God. The | past is gone; the future is not yet. Now am I freed from both. For |
W2:253.1 | what I do not want to happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led | past this world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where |
W2:284.1 | all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words today, go | past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in |
W2:288.1 | is the hand that leads me on the way to You. His sins are in the | past along with mine. And I am saved because the past is gone. Let me |
W2:288.1 | His sins are in the past along with mine. And I am saved because the | past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart or I will lose |
W2:289.1 | Unless the | past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight. For I |
W2:289.1 | How can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? This the | past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only |
W2:289.1 | hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now. It has no | past. For what can be forgiven but the past, and if it is forgiven, |
W2:289.1 | looked on only now. It has no past. For what can be forgiven but the | past, and if it is forgiven, it is gone. |
W2:289.2 | Father, let me not look upon a | past that is not there. For You have offered me Your own replacement |
W2:289.2 | For You have offered me Your own replacement in a present world the | past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of guilt. |
W2:293.1 | All fear is | past because its source is gone and all its thoughts gone with it. |
W2:293.1 | the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming with all my | past mistakes oppressing it and showing me distorted forms of pain? |
W2:293.2 | of fear. There is a real world which the present holds safe from all | past mistakes. And I would see only this world before my eyes today. |
W2:306.1 | returns to me? Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go | past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and peace. Today I |
W2:308.1 | of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach | past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time |
W2:308.1 | perception of what time is for. Time's purpose cannot be to keep the | past and future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from |
W2:308.1 | come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a | past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the |
W2:314.1 | perception of the world there comes a future very different from the | past. The future now is recognized as but extension of the present. |
W2:314.1 | past. The future now is recognized as but extension of the present. | Past mistakes can cast no shadows on it, so that fear has lost its |
W2:314.2 | Father, we were mistaken in the | past and choose to use the present to be free. Now do we leave the |
W2:314.2 | free. Now do we leave the future in Your hands, leaving behind our | past mistakes and sure that You will keep Your present promises and |
W2:316.1 | give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. Each one allows a | past mistake to go and leave no shadow on the holy mind my Father |
W2:316.1 | me in every gift a brother has received throughout all time and | past all time as well. My treasure house is full, and angels watch |
W2:WICR.4 | unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, | past all our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with |
W2:336.1 | first is changed and then gives way entirely to what remains forever | past its highest reach. For sights and sounds at best can serve but |
W2:WAI.3 | all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is | past the gates of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our |
M:2.4 | backward to an instant so ancient that it is beyond all memory and | past even the possibility of remembering. Yet because it is an |
M:2.4 | So has the teacher, too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient | past. God's Will in everything but seems to take time in the |
M:4.17 | seem to be. Yet when the teacher of God finally agrees to look | past them, he finds nothing was there. Slowly at first, he lets |
M:4.20 | this is true for everything that happens now or in the future. The | past as well held no mistakes—nothing that did not serve to benefit |
M:4.20 | time. Even so, the teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his | past decisions if they are causing pain to anyone. Patience is |
M:10.3 | have to be fully aware of an inconceivably wide range of things, | past, present, and to come. One would have to recognize in advance |
M:10.4 | with you Whose judgment is perfect. He does know all the facts, | past, present, and to come. He does know all the effects of His |
M:19.3 | and yourself, all fears of future states, and all concern about the | past stem from injustice. Here is the lens which, held before the |
M:20.2 | It calls to mind nothing that went before. It brings with it no | past associations. It is a new thing entirely. There is a contrast, |
M:20.2 | entirely. There is a contrast, yes, between this thing and all the | past. But strangely, it is not a contrast of true differences. The |
M:20.2 | past. But strangely, it is not a contrast of true differences. The | past just slips away and in its place is everlasting quiet. Only |
M:24.1 | In the ultimate sense, reincarnation is impossible. There is no | past nor future, and the idea of birth into a body has no meaning |
M:24.1 | At least, such misuse offers preoccupation and perhaps pride in the | past. At worst, it induces inertia in the present. In between many |
M:24.2 | There is always some risk in seeing the present in terms of the | past. There is always some good in any thought which strengthens the |
M:24.6 | Atonement might be equated with total escape from the | past and total lack of interest in the future. Heaven is here. There |
M:25.3 | Nor does their value lie in proving anything—achievements from the | past, unusual attunement with the “unseen,” or special favors from |
A Course of Love (144) |
C:2.15 | Look not to figures from the | past to show you the way beyond illusions to the present. Look within |
C:8.22 | Although you cannot observe it, you will become aware of how the | past walks through your days with you, and the future too. Both are |
C:8.23 | Where lives this | past and future? Where does day go when it is night? What are you to |
C:11.4 | fear of failing, and earnest attempts at trying hard have long been | past. Each exercise is but an idea, and ideas leave not their source. |
C:13.4 | or defined in the same way you have defined their bodies in the | past. |
C:13.12 | of others and yourself, for your memory will contain no hint of | past misdeeds, errors or mistakes. No one will have leveled any hurts |
C:16.6 | there is no cause for conflict. Judgment makes different. It looks | past what is the same and sees it not and sees instead what it is |
C:16.12 | the wrongs you would enumerate. True forgiveness simply looks | past illusion to the truth where there are no sins to be forgiven, no |
C:19.20 | it is the last such review that will be required before letting the | past go completely. All your previous attempts to go back have been |
C:19.21 | You need not go in search of it, and in truth, cannot, for the | past does not abide in you. What you need rather do is strive for a |
C:21.7 | meaning in different ways you will not find peace. You have, in the | past, accepted these different interpretations as natural. You see |
C:23.4 | side of the country, separated by distance, or previous choices, or | past hurts, and yet a relationship continues. |
C:23.12 | similar to those which you term induction and deduction. In the | past, exercises have most often begun with an alteration of beliefs |
C:25.16 | from love. Living from love is what will reverse the lessons of the | past. Reversing the lessons of the past is what will allow you to |
C:25.16 | will reverse the lessons of the past. Reversing the lessons of the | past is what will allow you to live in love in every instance. |
C:25.17 | and holding resentments. There are no “parts” of Self living in the | past or the future. There is not a “mindful” Self living separately |
C:25.24 | that are contrary to usual patterns of action you have taken in the | past, you will often meet resistance. Try to be lighthearted at such |
C:26.20 | stock answer. This is why all answers have disappointed you in the | past. Your answer is not the same as any other. No matter how filled |
C:27.14 | what “should” be happening rather than what is happening. It looks | past perception of “others” to relationship and wholeness. To live in |
C:27.18 | power that is not of this world? Will you see the future and the | past, be cognizant of destiny and of fate? You do have power that is |
C:27.19 | have lacked. The typical fears you have experienced in the | past will not arise within this knowing. |
C:29.3 | by your military service. You have no notion, as did people of the | past, of being of service to God. This is a symptom of the reign of |
C:29.26 | of giving and receiving. All your worry over the future and the | past is but a worry about the return of gifts given. What gift of |
C:29.26 | of gifts given. What gift of opportunity did you not accept in the | past, might you not recognize in the future? What gift of fortune, |
C:29.26 | truly realized, that all gifts come but once and are forever? The | past nor the future matter not. All is available in the here and now |
C:29.27 | exists, but in the present. Can you replace your attention to the | past and future with an attention to the present? |
C:30.4 | as an instruction that relates to time. You think of present time, | past time, future time. We have spoken of these modes of keeping time |
C:31.15 | from who you truly are. On the one hand, you think that you are your | past, your shame, your guilt; on the other that you are your future, |
C:31.26 | Your | past has nothing to do with the truth about who you are, except in |
T1:2.7 | Your only recourse to this situation in the | past was focus. You thus applied your thoughts to learning subjects |
T1:6.7 | next. Thus memory allows relationship. Memory, or how you relate to | past experiences, is what makes each individual unique. A family can |
T1:6.8 | So what happens when memories of | past experiences are revisited under the all-encompassing umbrella of |
T1:8.4 | come to you now to reveal the one truth that has existed for the | past two thousand years without your comprehension of it. The nature |
T1:9.15 | have placed your highest value and are thus most vulnerable. In the | past your response would have been to protect and use that which you |
T1:10.10 | sway over you that you would choose not the Peace of God. But look | past what you have remembered to what was truly there. No moment of |
T2:4.10 | of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is willingness to move | past both ambiguity and conflict to union. |
T2:4.12 | that peace to what you feel called to do. This is not about the | past and all those things that at one time or another you thought |
T2:5.3 | Such a call signals an end to learning from the lessons of the | past and a beginning of learning from the new. This Course itself is |
T2:5.6 | is not. They represent the remnants of learning from the | past, the final breaking of old patterns. They may seem to signal |
T3:1.11 | self has only existed as the self you presented to others in the | past is quite a different statement and has a totally different |
T3:1.11 | were” was a self who existed in time, a self who believed that the | past made up the self of the present and that the self of the present |
T3:1.11 | self of the future. The personal self you presented to others in the | past was a chosen self and never a whole self as evidenced by the |
T3:1.11 | variety of selves you saw yourself to be. The personal self of the | past was a self of roles, each one as learned as that which an actor |
T3:1.11 | in one role and a friend in another, than you did in defining a | past self, a present self and a future self. The greatest distinction |
T3:1.13 | undone. This is atonement. We work now to correct the errors of the | past in the present, the only place where such work can be done. We |
T3:3.5 | blame could be rightly placed. Your depression was blamed on the | past. Even your successes were often claimed to be at the expense of |
T3:4.1 | tenets you can become good. It gives no credence and no blame to any | past cause for your depression, anxiety, meanness, illness or |
T3:5.1 | to be feared. Yet it is this fear of emptiness that has, in the | past, made those who have experienced it rush to find the easiest and |
T3:5.3 | things you have brought to yourself for they have been the only way | past the ego's guarded gate. |
T3:8.4 | comprised of the one identity you now hold or the identity of many | past lives, the identity you hold in this time and this place still |
T3:8.5 | a suffering for which you see no rationale. Those who believe in | past lives have also often adopted beliefs regarding choice and |
T3:8.5 | suffering were made for some greater good or to repay debts of the | past. The only choice that has been made is that of attachment to the |
T3:9.5 | of many who came before you but the time of such work, for you, is | past. Many remain to shake the walls of illusion. Few stand beyond it |
T3:10.6 | that all lessons are gifts. What you have struggled to learn in the | past you have struggled with only because you did not realize the |
T3:10.7 | Not one situation coming to you now will be a repeat of the | past. How can it be when the past was lived in the house of illusion |
T3:10.7 | to you now will be a repeat of the past. How can it be when the | past was lived in the house of illusion and the present is lived in |
T3:10.7 | realized. You have passed through your time of unlearning what the | past but seemed to teach you. Now, while life may seem much unchanged |
T3:10.10 | This feeling will remain only as long as you remember your | past uncertainty. Uncertainty, like all the rest of the ego's thought |
T3:10.10 | Thus you are called, as well, to forget the uncertainty of the | past. |
T3:10.11 | of certainty. Realize that this is how you have learned in the | past and that all that is from the past is what you are being called |
T3:10.11 | is how you have learned in the past and that all that is from the | past is what you are being called to forget. Thus when uncertainty |
T3:10.11 | you need but remind yourself that the time for uncertainty is | past. Uncertainty will not now come to teach you lessons you have |
T3:10.11 | you have already learned but will only visit you as an echo from the | past. It is a habit, a pattern of the old thought system. All you |
T3:14.11 | choice to explore the why behind it or to look for remedies for the | past. The choice now is whether you want suffering to continue or |
T3:14.12 | are allowed to do so. A time-bound consciousness that hangs onto the | past as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take place. |
T3:14.12 | as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take place. The | past is no more and neither the present nor the future can be built |
T3:14.13 | must be total to be at all. Can you see why you cannot hang onto the | past? The new cannot have historical precedents. This is why you have |
T3:14.13 | to is a life so new that you cannot even imagine it. Imagine not the | past and make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The past is but a |
T3:14.13 | not the past and make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The | past is but a starting point for the future. Just as we talked of the |
T3:14.13 | of all that proceeds from the idea of blame, so too is it with the | past. Like a story yet to be written, that which follows the first |
T3:15.1 | relationship of marriage have had occasion to choose to forgive the | past and begin again to build a new relationship. Others, in a |
T3:15.1 | Others, in a similar relationship, might have chosen to let the | past go and enter into new relationships. Parents have welcomed home |
T3:15.3 | concerning the relationship, a set of criteria based upon the | past that is most often what prevents new beginnings from truly being |
T3:15.4 | are offered or considered “in spite of” circumstances of the | past that would seem to make them foolish. There is always some |
T3:15.4 | contingent upon whom they have represented themselves to be in the | past. |
T3:15.5 | can approach each day with faith while keeping fresh memories of | past abuse or humiliation in the hopes that they will discourage a |
T3:15.6 | Everyone believes they carry the baggage of the | past, not only their own but that of all the special relationships in |
T3:15.7 | up the idea that this core or center has been represented by the | past. You must forget the idea that the future cannot be different |
T3:15.7 | must forget the idea that the future cannot be different than the | past. |
T3:15.11 | learn the truth through the same methods that have been used in the | past to learn illusion. This Course teaches that love cannot be |
T3:15.14 | why you cannot approach this new beginning as you have those of the | past. What will assist you most, as the translation of the old |
T3:15.17 | still the same being that you have represented yourself to be in the | past, you will not be living by the truth but by illusion. |
T3:19.11 | form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of the | past represented who you believed yourself to be. Thus those |
T3:19.14 | Just think of how many saints and miracles you have heard of in the | past without being moved to believe that they mean anything at all |
T4:1.3 | that some are not chosen now and that many were not chosen in the | past. |
T4:1.13 | this excitement grow, your loyalty to your race, species, and the | past, hinders your excitement. If what you are beginning to believe |
T4:1.13 | you as failures? Has the seed of the future lain dormant in the | past? Could it have been activated hundreds or thousands of years |
T4:1.16 | come to live by the truth. It is in this way that the truth of the | past still lives and that the illusion of the past never was. |
T4:1.16 | that the truth of the past still lives and that the illusion of the | past never was. |
T4:1.23 | and more obscure. Some have yearned for a return to days not long | past, days during which distinctions between right and wrong did seem |
T4:2.14 | It is difficult for you, because of the patterns of the | past, to believe that you are chosen to be the pioneers into a new |
T4:2.15 | Your awareness of the Self that you are now was not present in the | past, but you can truly now, with the devotion of the observant, see |
T4:2.30 | to see bodies and events moving through your days as you have in the | past. And yet your vision has already changed, although you are not |
T4:6.7 | You can exist in Christ-consciousness, as have many others of the | past, and through your existence in Christ-consciousness, affect much |
T4:7.7 | is no cause for judgment, as it is the perfect health, now, in the | past, and in the future, to bring you the lessons you would learn in |
T4:8.4 | us dwell again, for just a moment before we let this dwelling in the | past go forever, on what has “gone wrong” with God's expression of |
T4:8.17 | is fast approaching. Coming to know through learning will be of the | past as soon as Christ-consciousness is sustainable and you begin to |
T4:9.1 | comes to an end. It comes to an end here and now as we move | past study and learning to observation, vision, and revelation. |
T4:10.3 | the illness has come to bring you. You have learned anew from your | past. Learned from your dreams. Learned from art and music. In all of |
T4:10.3 | the learner. You may not have studied your problems, illness, your | past, your dreams, or art and music as you studied the lessons that |
T4:10.14 | who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can learn from the | past but not from the future. When you build upon what you can learn |
T4:10.14 | future. When you build upon what you can learn you build upon the | past and create not the future but an extension of the past. You who |
T4:10.14 | upon the past and create not the future but an extension of the | past. You who are called to leave learning behind are called to |
T4:12.10 | All you must remember now is that the time of learning is | past. While you are still encountering concerns and questions, you |
T4:12.11 | vigilant of, dear brothers and sisters, is the learned wisdom of the | past. Let me give you an example that relates to the state of |
T4:12.18 | Think and speak no more of the suffering of the | past. Spread the joyous news! Tell only joyous stories. Advance the |
T4:12.18 | allow for all the creativity you have put into challenges of the | past but without the struggle. Let not the idea of struggle take hold |
T4:12.26 | a foreign land with none of the ways you learned how to adapt in the | past being of service to you. That is how new this is—and more. But |
T4:12.32 | the future, the time of the creation of a future not based upon the | past. |
D:2.10 | the modes of learning, even when they seemed to work for you in the | past. That they seemed to work is the illusion that will give way as |
D:3.2 | It is not a death knell but a call to life. It is not of the | past or the future but of the eternal now. It is within you as we |
D:5.18 | of your mind and the thoughts that so confuse you, the prison of | past and future and a now that isn't changing fast enough to suit the |
D:6.21 | as that of blaming a friend for your hurt feelings, or blaming the | past for the present. And yet, what ridding your mind of ideas of |
D:8.10 | of the Self. Thus where you have desired to express yourself in the | past is very likely linked to the natural ability or talent you did |
D:12.15 | as soon as the truth came into your mind, how seldom in the | past you have been sure of anything. You may have been amazed at this |
D:13.7 | overly concern you as it will not affect you as it did those of the | past because you are living in the time of Christ, a time when no |
D:14.2 | the Self is far more than you have experienced as yourself in the | past. |
D:Day2.10 | wish that you had acted differently? Can you see a way to change the | past or to “make up for” what occurred in the past? |
D:Day2.10 | a way to change the past or to “make up for” what occurred in the | past? |
D:Day3.19 | you will not feel this, and if you are among those few, do not skip | past this dialogue, but join in so that you understand, as do those |
D:Day3.49 | now, as opposed to your idea of the wrong-actions of the | past, in order to bring money or abundance flowing to you. All that |
D:Day4.21 | in the here and now, but to an inaccurate world-view of the | past, of the hereafter, of me, and of God. Not only has your mind |
D:Day7.20 | present. Realize you may say you are certain of the future or the | past but that you cannot make it so. Thus your ability to maintain |
D:Day8.16 | consistent with the term or word certainty as it was used in the | past, but you will not want to confuse the term and the condition. |
D:Day8.17 | of a personal self who had not yet unlearned the lessons of the | past or taken these steps toward elevation. Now, however, it is |
D:Day8.21 | They will no longer be the source of the misdirection of the | past if you accept your feelings in present time and begin to be |
D:Day8.26 | keep your true Self hidden. You are used to hiding the self of the | past about whom you are not well pleased, and you are used to hiding |
D:Day9.1 | of freedom you have experienced there. I am your refuge from the | past, your gate of entry to the present. You have fled the foreign |
D:Day9.32 | now only because of the consistency with which you did so in the | past. In the past you moved quickly from one learning challenge to |
D:Day9.32 | because of the consistency with which you did so in the past. In the | past you moved quickly from one learning challenge to another. You |
D:Day10.13 | This is because your image of the personal self is based on the | past and the feelings of the past. This is also because your image of |
D:Day10.13 | of the personal self is based on the past and the feelings of the | past. This is also because your image of the personal self is a |
D:Day10.14 | Because you believe that your feelings have misled you in the | past, you now still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted |
D:Day10.14 | still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted yourself in the | past, you now still look for reassurances and proof that you are |

D:Day16.9 | acceptance can occur. There is no “going back” or reliving of the | past required. There is also no escape, however, because in |
D:Day28.15 | two attitudes, but will find that one is prevalent. You must now get | past all such notions or attitudes. |

T4:2.22 | you separated yourself from relationship with the wholeness of the | pattern of creation. You have believed in God and perhaps in some |
T4:2.22 | God, or the possibility that your life is a direct experience of the | pattern of unity or oneness that is creation. |
T4:2.23 | Think of this denial now, for it is still evident in the | pattern of your thinking. We have spoken of this within the text of A |
T4:3.2 | to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision has to do with the divine | pattern, the unity that binds all living things. Observation is the |
T4:3.2 | all living things. Observation is the means of seeing this binding | pattern in physical form. |
T4:4.1 | Everywhere within your world you see the | pattern of life-everlasting. Where there is a pattern of |
T4:4.1 | your world you see the pattern of life-everlasting. Where there is a | pattern of life-everlasting, there is everlasting life. Means and end |
T4:4.2 | The | pattern of life-everlasting is one of changing form. It is one that |
T4:4.2 | and renewal, seasons of growth and seasons of decline. This is the | pattern of creation taken to extremes. Inherent within the extreme is |
T4:4.2 | was a day of rest spoken of. Creation balanced with rest is the | pattern that has been taken to extremes within your world. You think |
T4:4.7 | creation. Like begets like. Life begets life. Thus is revealed the | pattern of life-everlasting. |
T4:4.8 | Changing form is part of the | pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the form you now occupy, |
T4:4.8 | as that of elevation of the personal self, is a natural part of the | pattern of life-everlasting. It is long over-due. It is long over-due |
T4:8.11 | you rebelled against God's original design, the design that is the | pattern of creation. Yet your rebellion was not with God, although |
T4:8.12 | the constraints of your nature in form thus became part of the | pattern of creation because it was the created's response. It was |
T4:12.20 | though you are abiding now in the state of Christ-consciousness, the | pattern of the old thoughts will continue until they are replaced by |
T4:12.20 | of the old thoughts will continue until they are replaced by a new | pattern. That self-doubt arises in your thought patterns will not |
T4:12.21 | you share in unity with God. You will be the co-creator of the new | pattern of consciousness that is sharing in unity and relationship, |
T4:12.21 | in unity and relationship, as you were once the co-creator of the | pattern of consciousness that was learning. |
T4:12.24 | You now exist within a shared consciousness. The | pattern of a shared consciousness is one of sharing in unity and |
T4:12.24 | is one of sharing in unity and relationship. There is no | pattern within it for learning (which is individual), for individual |
T4:12.27 | and what we are speaking of when we talk of patterns. There was a | pattern to the process of learning that was shared by all learners |
T4:12.27 | inherent to your natures. The means were different for each, but the | pattern was the same. There was an overall design that ensured |
T4:12.27 | ensured optimal learning and that design was known to you in the | pattern of that design, a pattern that was part of the pattern of |
T4:12.27 | and that design was known to you in the pattern of that design, a | pattern that was part of the pattern of your thoughts, even after the |
T4:12.27 | to you in the pattern of that design, a pattern that was part of the | pattern of your thoughts, even after the ego came to rule your |
T4:12.27 | even after the ego came to rule your thought system. Without this | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the |
T4:12.27 | in becoming the ruler of the personal self. Part of this design and | pattern was the freedom of free will. |
T4:12.28 | Free will continues in the | pattern of Christ-consciousness. Love continues. The individual or |
T4:12.28 | appropriate to the time of learning does not continue. Thus the new | pattern is one of creation in relationship and unity rather than |
T4:12.33 | and space no longer separate us, and the creation of the design or | pattern that reveals our lack of separation is part of the creation |
D:1.3 | the personal self. As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the | pattern of the personal self going forth much as it did before. You |
D:1.15 | not accept what you “know” to be the truth is a continuation of the | pattern of insanity that must be replaced with a pattern of sanity. |
D:1.15 | continuation of the pattern of insanity that must be replaced with a | pattern of sanity. |
D:2.1 | the work of replacing the old patterns of learning with the new | pattern of acceptance. |
D:2.4 | Patterns are both learned systems and systems of design. The | pattern of learning was a pattern of divine design, created in unity |
D:2.4 | learned systems and systems of design. The pattern of learning was a | pattern of divine design, created in unity and cooperation to enable |
D:2.4 | created in unity and cooperation to enable the return to unity. This | pattern has achieved its desired end and so is no longer needed nor |
D:2.4 | end and so is no longer needed nor appropriate. While it was once a | pattern whose design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of |
D:2.4 | whose design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of this | pattern will but interfere with your full acceptance of who you are |
D:2.5 | An example of a | pattern whose design was perfect for the desired end is that of |
D:2.11 | If you will examine this | pattern of what you have believed “works for you,” you will find that |
D:2.11 | “works for you,” you will find that you believe that each and every | pattern will work in one instance and not in another and that you |
D:2.11 | or outcome in one instance would tend to be seen as a “successful | pattern,” and would be repeated until such a time as the pattern |
D:2.11 | “successful pattern,” and would be repeated until such a time as the | pattern failed to achieve the successful grade or outcome in another |
D:2.12 | concept of trial and error. No sure results are counted on. When a | pattern of thought or behavior has been found to work in more cases |
D:2.12 | in more cases than not, it is clung to as a “sure thing”—a proven | pattern or way. |
D:2.14 | desired outcomes. Either way, control is seen as a powerful | pattern. |
D:2.18 | system that is not foolproof is based on a faulty design, a faulty | pattern. Your misperceptions of the world have allowed for the |
D:2.19 | to deal fairly with a hostile environment and then to develop a | pattern based on what was learned so that learning would not need to |
D:2.20 | just tell me what that new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the new | pattern and I will put it into effect.” |
D:2.21 | What this points out is a | pattern in itself. It is a pattern of reaction rather than cause. It |
D:2.21 | What this points out is a pattern in itself. It is a | pattern of reaction rather than cause. It is a pattern of looking |
D:2.21 | in itself. It is a pattern of reaction rather than cause. It is a | pattern of looking without and wondering what to do about what you |
D:2.21 | without and wondering what to do about what you see rather than a | pattern of changing what you see by looking within. |
D:4.12 | to the stem of a plant to the workings of the human brain, a divine | pattern is evident and should not be beyond your belief. Despite the |
D:4.12 | in what you see, think, and feel, there is but one external divine | pattern that created the observable world, and only one internal |
D:4.12 | that created the observable world, and only one internal divine | pattern that created the internal world. The internal divine pattern |
D:4.12 | divine pattern that created the internal world. The internal divine | pattern was that of learning. |
D:4.13 | now entering. Thus far, we are merely working together to create a | pattern of acceptance to replace the pattern of learning. |
D:4.13 | working together to create a pattern of acceptance to replace the | pattern of learning. |
D:4.14 | In such a way of thinking, one would take the internal thought | pattern, enhance it with the external pattern, and by seeing the |
D:4.14 | take the internal thought pattern, enhance it with the external | pattern, and by seeing the unity and cooperation of all, understand |
D:4.15 | the truth. Some of these systems of thought were part of the divine | pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a learning being, you |
D:4.16 | Other systems of thought were not part of the divine | pattern. The ego is one such system. It may seem peculiar to think of |
D:4.16 | falsely believed to be yourself. From this one externalized thought | pattern came most of your false ideas, ideas that made it difficult |
D:4.18 | has been freed. Let us simply create a new structure around the new | pattern of acceptance, a structure that will provide you with the |
D:4.24 | “act” of acceptance rather than learning. Turn to this as the new | pattern and to the thought system of giving and receiving as one. Let |
D:5.5 | example that illustrates how one aspect of what was created in the | pattern of learning, while not being seen in the way it was intended, |
D:6.14 | new. For in this time of revelation, discovery is the new divine | pattern that will replace the “thought” systems we have spoken of. To |
D:6.24 | We have talked of but one replacement for the | pattern of learning—the pattern of acceptance. What might the body |
D:6.24 | have talked of but one replacement for the pattern of learning—the | pattern of acceptance. What might the body be called to accept? This |
D:7.15 | to be ready to accept revelation works hand in hand with the new | pattern of discovery, but discovery is less time bound. Let me |
D:9.4 | now, when you have learned all that you are in need of learning, the | pattern, even of your wholeheartedness, remains one of thought. This |
D:9.4 | pattern, even of your wholeheartedness, remains one of thought. This | pattern is what the new patterns of acceptance and discovery that we |
D:9.5 | Thought is a practice and a | pattern of the separated and thus learning self. When it was said |
D:10.1 | ways of knowing that come to you, and through you, outside of the | pattern of learning. |
D:10.7 | always existed. When put into practice and allowed to replace the | pattern of learning, this way of discovery will be a constant coming |
D:12.11 | The first is that thinking, with or without the ego, is a | pattern of the separated self and does not serve you. The way in |
D:12.11 | the ego ruled or may seem only minimally improved, but it is the | pattern, not the ego, that is still with you. The second point is |
D:17.13 | your wholeheartedness, as well as your desire, has moved beyond the | pattern of thought. |
D:Day2.3 | your mistakes and poor choices have been reconciled. You can see the | pattern of your life as clearly now as if a masterful biography had |
D:Day3.14 | you no longer think in such a way, they are there in the learned | pattern and you know this too. They are what prevent you from |
D:Day3.14 | unable to replace, in application, the false with the true, the | pattern of the false remains. |
D:Day3.24 | This is the way fears operate. They operate in the | pattern of the ego, a pattern that was learned, a pattern that was |
D:Day3.24 | is the way fears operate. They operate in the pattern of the ego, a | pattern that was learned, a pattern that was emphasized and |
D:Day3.24 | operate in the pattern of the ego, a pattern that was learned, a | pattern that was emphasized and reemphasized through external events |
D:Day3.24 | until this attitude of wanting seemed impossible to unlearn. It is a | pattern of survival, but not of your survival. It is the pattern of |
D:Day3.24 | It is a pattern of survival, but not of your survival. It is the | pattern of the ego's survival, and even though the ego is no longer |
D:Day3.24 | ego's survival, and even though the ego is no longer with you, the | pattern remains because what you learned, and the way in which you |
D:Day3.39 | learning through the mind because of your familiarity with the | pattern of learning through the mind, you can perhaps see why these |
D:Day4.5 | learning has not been a choice. Both as divine design and as a | pattern of the thought system of the ego, learning has been with you |
D:Day4.5 | design of the time of learning is being recreated, the ceaseless | pattern of learning remains. |
D:Day5.19 | to desire specifics. This is because you are still entrenched in the | pattern of learning, as your earnest effort to leave effort behind |
D:Day5.23 | to teach or learn “how to” heal must be thwarted, for if not, the | pattern of learning will remain. This is why there have always seemed |
D:Day7.5 | You must realize here that the | pattern of learning is now all that is left that can be degenerating |
D:Day7.5 | not one of support but one of effort. You must accept, now, that the | pattern of learning is an extension of fear and be willing and |
D:Day7.5 | extension of fear and be willing and vigilant in replacing it with a | pattern of acceptance. I say this because so many of you still do not |
D:Day8.21 | will prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your previous | pattern. |
D:Day9.32 | just completed a monumental learning challenge and so your natural | pattern would be to keep going now, to use the momentum of this |
D:Day9.33 | This | pattern will be easily replaced, however, as your acceptance of |
D:Day18.7 | The truth represented by Jesus and Mary was represented as a visual | pattern that would aide understanding of the invisible. This is what |
D:Day18.10 | The new visual | pattern is that of spirit resurrected in form. It is the ascension of |
D:Day18.10 | or elevation of the self of form. You are called to demonstrate this | pattern. The choice is to demonstrate this pattern through |
D:Day18.10 | to demonstrate this pattern. The choice is to demonstrate this | pattern through interaction with the world, or through incarnation |
D:Day18.11 | You are called to demonstrate this new visual | pattern. What is meant here by the word demonstrate, is to show your |
D:Day19.10 | are asked to become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new | pattern, a pattern of what can be imagined being made real, not |
D:Day19.10 | to become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new pattern, a | pattern of what can be imagined being made real, not through doing, |
D:Day19.13 | by holding open this door to creation. They, in truth, create a new | pattern and begin to weave it into the web of reality, anchoring it |
D:Day21.2 | This was true even within the | pattern of learning you have been so familiar with, for in order to |
D:Day21.6 | but made it seem as if some had more and others less. But even the | pattern of learning had as its outcome the sameness of teacher and |
D:Day25.4 | to come into the practice of letting the new come. It is in the new | pattern of stillness combined with non-resistance that the new will |
D:Day25.5 | thoughts. Let go your resistance to thoughts that seem of the old | pattern. That you know they are of the old pattern is enough. Let |
D:Day25.5 | that seem of the old pattern. That you know they are of the old | pattern is enough. Let them come. Let them go. |

D:Day28.16 | is all that the notion of a giver and a receiver is: An old thought | pattern. |
E.3 | only with love, and so nothing will be hard for you. Desire an old | pattern to be gone and it will be gone. This little note added to the |

T2:4.15 | and ongoing is part of creation. Thus the very act of undoing old | patterns is an act of creation. As the old is undone, a vacuum is not |
T2:5.6 | the remnants of learning from the past, the final breaking of old | patterns. They may seem to signal difficult times, but they are times |
T2:7.10 | of this Course, but what will prevent you from following the | patterns of old as you go out into the world with your desire to |

T4:12.10 | way to do so is to, for a short while, be vigilant of your thought | patterns so that you eradicate the idea of learning in separation and |
T4:12.20 | replaced by a new pattern. That self-doubt arises in your thought | patterns will not mean that you have cause for self-doubt. You have |

T4:12.30 | new patterns that reveal the design. This new design, and the new | patterns that will be helpful to you in its sustainability, are what |
T4:12.31 | you are accustomed. It will help us together to establish the new | patterns by which you and those who come after you, will more fully |

D:2.3 | The | patterns of the new will begin to arise naturally when you deny the |
D:2.3 | patterns of the new will begin to arise naturally when you deny the | patterns of the old. As you have been told, you now “know what you |

D:2.3 | here, for I do not want you combating or resisting the old patterns. | Patterns are not in quite the same category as the false remembering |
D:2.4 | | Patterns are both learned systems and systems of design. The pattern |
D:2.9 | It is because the | patterns of old have at times provided you with a false certainty |
D:2.13 | are often those matters that are beyond your personal control and so | patterns of personal control have become particularly entrenched. |
D:2.15 | Although they may not have seemed so, all | patterns have had to do with learning because you were, as a |
D:2.15 | into the self of form, or the elevation of the personal self, new | patterns are needed. |
D:2.16 | Systems are the result of your attempts to externalize | patterns. Patterns are contained within. Looking at the patterns you |
D:2.16 | Systems are the result of your attempts to externalize patterns. | Patterns are contained within. Looking at the patterns you have |
D:2.16 | externalize patterns. Patterns are contained within. Looking at the | patterns you have attempted to externalize can help you to understand |
D:2.16 | attempted to externalize can help you to understand the nature of | patterns. |
D:2.19 | would not need to be endlessly repeated. Now these systems and | patterns have become so entrenched that no new learning is seen as |
D:2.19 | is seen as possible or desirable even though the systems and | patterns are known not to work. In truth, no new learning or new |
D:2.19 | work. In truth, no new learning or new systems based on the learning | patterns of old will work. Thus we begin anew. |
D:2.22 | is where you find the power of creation, the power to create the | patterns of the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the |
D:3.9 | self in union with all, are the ideas that will allow new | patterns to emerge and the design of the future to be created. These |
D:3.20 | being? Are your systems life-giving and life-supporting? The | patterns of the new will create only such life-giving and |
D:3.20 | only such life-giving and life-supporting systems—as long as the | patterns of the new are accepted and lived with your full awareness. |
D:4.9 | you may recall, are the result of your attempts to externalize the | patterns contained within. Patterns are both of learning and of |
D:4.9 | of your attempts to externalize the patterns contained within. | Patterns are both of learning and of design. |
D:4.12 | Divine | patterns are the patterns that made your existence in form possible |
D:4.12 | Divine patterns are the | patterns that made your existence in form possible as well as the |
D:4.12 | patterns that made your existence in form possible as well as the | patterns that have made your return to your true identity possible. |
D:4.12 | that have made your return to your true identity possible. These | patterns are both external and internal. External divine patterns |
D:4.12 | These patterns are both external and internal. External divine | patterns include the observable forms that make up your world, |
D:4.13 | The two | patterns, the internal and the external, were created together to |
D:4.13 | together to exist in a complementary fashion. Both of these divine | patterns are being newly recreated and we will talk much more of them |
D:4.16 | the learning loop. Obviously these systems, built as they were upon | patterns now being recreated, are part of the old. |
D:4.17 | Externalized | patterns, or systems, were also built from the systems of thought |
D:4.18 | That divine universe, our divine existence, is now recreating the | patterns that served the time of learning. What was learned in the |
D:4.28 | all, draws from the well of divine design. You need not turn to old | patterns or systems to accomplish your release. You can only turn to |
D:4.28 | release. You can only turn to what is, to what is left now that the | patterns and systems of learning are no longer. |
D:5.12 | Love and the loving | patterns given in the time of learning are all that exist in all you |
D:5.12 | are all that exist in all you see. But what now will become of these | patterns that are no longer needed as your learning and that of those |
D:5.21 | with your being. You will wonder how, if you are done learning, the | patterns of learning will change to help you embrace the acceptance |
D:7.16 | join with what you observe until your vision is released from old | patterns and guides you more truly. |
D:8.8 | it was done. But you do not yet know how to rid yourself of former | patterns. Your mind, while it no longer wants to cling to known |
D:8.8 | patterns. Your mind, while it no longer wants to cling to known | patterns, is confronted with them constantly. Thus your heart still |
D:9.4 | remains one of thought. This pattern is what the new | patterns of acceptance and discovery that we are beginning to lay out |
D:9.6 | But your reality has changed, and with that change, new | patterns apply. This does not mean that the truth has changed, but |
D:12.12 | to become aware and comfortable with the idea that, released of old | patterns, the self will join with unity more and more frequently, |
D:12.13 | One of the primary ideas that will assist you in leaving | patterns of thinking behind is the idea that thought as we are |
D:15.1 | principles that govern creation. These principles are like unto the | patterns that were created for your time of learning and that will be |
D:15.1 | of learning and that will be applied anew to the creation of new | patterns for the new time that is upon us. |
D:16.16 | It encompasses all of your former ideas about yourself, all of the | patterns of the time of learning, all of the moments in which you |
D:Day2.2 | You have let go the ego, re-viewed your life, unlearned previous | patterns, and now see the difference between the image you hold of |
D:Day10.12 | it before than to do something completely new. This is because old | patterns or habits must be done away with before achievement of a new |
D:Day14.8 | occurs because there are no blocks or boundaries, no holding | patterns, no mental interferences. |
D:Day17.5 | There have always been individuals who challenged the predominant | patterns of learning because of the strength of their connection to |
D:Day21.2 | If it did not do so, learning did not occur. In traditional learning | patterns, the wisdom, guidance, or information sought moved from a |
D:Day28.16 | Most of what is not the truth has been identified as old thought | patterns. This is all that the notion of a giver and a receiver is: |
D:Day28.17 | Thought | patterns exist within thought systems that have been externalized and |
E.2 | you not feel it? The questions remain only as questions of the old | patterns of thought, patterns that you need only be aware of before |

Tx:8.3 | results to you. If you do not want them on the basis of loss of | peace, they will be removed from your mind for you. Every response |
Tx:8.3 | response to the ego is a call to war, and war does deprive you of | peace. Yet in this war there is no opponent. This is the |

Tx:11.35 | learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell in | peace and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace and |
Tx:11.35 | Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will look out in | peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the place, you must |
Tx:11.58 | Him. And knowing this, He would give you what is yours. In perfect | peace He waits for you at His Father's altar, holding out the |
Tx:11.65 | will you need correction. For this belief is the destruction of | peace, a goal in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit's purpose. You |
Tx:11.71 | Coming only from God, its power and grandeur could only bring you | peace if you really looked upon it. If you are afraid, it is |
Tx:11.71 | perfect safety of the mind which created us. For we are there in the | peace of the Father, Who wills to project His peace through you. |
Tx:11.71 | we are there in the peace of the Father, Who wills to project His | peace through you. |
Tx:11.72 | When you have accepted your mission to project | peace, you will find it, for by making it manifest, you will |
Tx:11.77 | But offer attack and it will remain hidden, for it can live only in | peace. |
Tx:11.78 | protection and cannot fear. His Father's love holds him in perfect | peace, and needing nothing, he asks for nothing. Yet he is far from |
Tx:11.89 | remove all guilt from his mind that he may remember his Father in | peace. For peace and guilt are antithetical, and the Father can be |
Tx:11.89 | guilt from his mind that he may remember his Father in peace. For | peace and guilt are antithetical, and the Father can be remembered |
Tx:11.89 | guilt are antithetical, and the Father can be remembered only in | peace. Love and guilt cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny |
Tx:12.7 | course has explicitly stated that its goal for you is happiness and | peace. Yet you are afraid of it. You have been told again and again |
Tx:12.19 | his illusions that you may accept the magnitude of your Father in | peace and joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you will be |
Tx:12.20 | to sanity could not obtain it in your right minds. You were at | peace until you asked for special favor. And God did not give it, for |
Tx:12.20 | father, demanding of Him what only such a father could give. And the | peace of God's Son was shattered, for he no longer understood his |
Tx:12.21 | In | peace he needed nothing and asked for nothing. In war he demanded |
Tx:12.21 | gentleness of love respond to his demands except by departing in | peace and returning to the Father? If the Son did not wish to remain |
Tx:12.21 | and returning to the Father? If the Son did not wish to remain in | peace, he could not remain at all. For a darkened mind cannot live in |
Tx:12.22 | did not do this to you. Could He set you apart, knowing that your | peace lies in His Oneness? He denied you only your request for pain, |
Tx:12.39 | how to deny insanity and come forth from your private world in | peace. |
Tx:12.53 | to you is but your call to Him. And in Him you are answered by His | peace. |
Tx:12.54 | of you, they would keep it. You have established them as guides to | peace, for you have made it manifest in them. And seeing it, its |
Tx:12.64 | To give this sad world over and exchange your errors for the | peace of God is but your will. And Christ will always offer you |
Tx:12.65 | not and love surrounds him without end or flaw. Disturbance of his | peace can never be. In perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all |
Tx:12.66 | The | peace of God passeth your understanding only in the past. Yet here |
Tx:12.67 | You will first dream of | peace and then awaken to it. Your first exchange of what you made for |
Tx:12.71 | himself he has no needs, for light needs nothing but to shine in | peace and from itself to let the rays extend in quiet to infinity. |
Tx:12.74 | with faith that He will lead you safely through all dangers to your | peace of mind that this world sets before you. Kneel not before the |
Tx:12.74 | keep and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet journey to the | peace of God, where He would have you be in quietness. |
Tx:12.75 | what except your brothers can you need? We will restore to you the | peace of mind that we must find together. The Holy Spirit will |
Tx:12.75 | be fulfilled in time. Salvation from the world lies only here. My | peace I give you. Take it of me in glad exchange for all the |
Tx:13.17 | within, you would see only the Atonement, shining in quiet and in | peace upon the altar to your Father. |
Tx:13.22 | his own, you will feel guilty. Nor will you find satisfaction and | peace with him, because your union with him is not real. You will |
Tx:13.24 | less, will be enough to free you from the past and give your mind in | peace over to the Atonement. When everyone is welcome to you as you |
Tx:13.28 | remember how much you love Him. Yet it is forever true. In shining | peace within you is the perfect purity in which you were created. |
Tx:13.30 | No one who condemns a brother can see himself as guiltless in the | peace of God. If he is guiltless and in peace and sees it not, he |
Tx:13.30 | as guiltless in the peace of God. If he is guiltless and in | peace and sees it not, he is delusional and has not looked upon |
Tx:13.35 | for how to deal with the perceived and harsh intrusion of guilt on | peace. Yet no one sees himself in conflict and ravaged by a cruel war |
Tx:13.35 | Believing this, he must escape, for such a war would surely end his | peace of mind and so destroy him. Yet if he could but realize the war |
Tx:13.37 | There is no variation. There is no interruption. There is a sense of | peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought even a dim |
Tx:13.38 | Nothing in this world can give this | peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception |
Tx:13.39 | thoughts may occur to you, God's Will is done. You will find the | peace in which He has established you, because He does not change His |
Tx:13.39 | you, because He does not change His Mind. He is invariable as the | peace in which you dwell and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you. |
Tx:13.41 | nightmares all mean nothing. They will not prevail against the | peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, |
Tx:13.42 | you want it broken, and this belief does interfere with the deep | peace in which the sweet and constant communication which God would |
Tx:13.42 | of reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. | Peace will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him |
Tx:13.42 | closed and separated from Him. Peace will be yours, because His | peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it |
Tx:13.42 | yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is | peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use |
Tx:13.45 | ego would substitute for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto | peace. The Holy Spirit has a very different kind of reconciliation in |
Tx:13.46 | It is this reconciliation with truth, and only truth, in which the | peace of Heaven lies. |
Tx:13.67 | guiltlessness by making it manifest and sharing it. Let me bring | peace to God's Son from his Father. |
Tx:13.74 | and will bring to them all that they need, coming as naturally as | peace that knows no limits. There is nothing their wills will not |
Tx:13.76 | pure. Do not decide against it, for being of Him, it must be true. | Peace abides in every mind that quietly accepts the plan which God |
Tx:13.78 | you will think you know alone and will decide against your | peace as surely as you made the wrong decision in ever thinking that |
Tx:13.78 | and He will make every decision for you, for your salvation, and the | peace of God in you. |
Tx:13.79 | mind wherein he was created and where his abode was fixed in perfect | peace forever. |
Tx:14.10 | teaching that points to this points straight to Heaven and to the | peace of God. There is no pain, no trial, no fear that teaching this |
Tx:14.11 | own efforts to the power that cannot fail and must result in | peace. No one can be untouched by teaching such as this. You will not |
Tx:14.11 | is for all in everyone you bring within its safety and its perfect | peace. |
Tx:14.12 | | Peace, then, be unto everyone who becomes a teacher of peace. For |
Tx:14.12 | Peace, then, be unto everyone who becomes a teacher of | peace. For peace is the acknowledgment of perfect purity from which |
Tx:14.12 | Peace, then, be unto everyone who becomes a teacher of peace. For | peace is the acknowledgment of perfect purity from which no one is |
Tx:14.12 | and attract all tortured minds to join with you in the safety of its | peace and holiness. Abide with me within it as teachers of Atonement, |
Tx:14.13 | as He knows us guiltless. I stand within the circle, calling you to | peace. Teach peace with me and stand with me on holy ground. Remember |
Tx:14.13 | us guiltless. I stand within the circle, calling you to peace. Teach | peace with me and stand with me on holy ground. Remember for everyone |
Tx:14.13 | that He has given him. Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect | peace. Stand not outside but join with me within. Fail not the only |
Tx:14.15 | that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and look out in | peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one out, for this is |
Tx:14.15 | he seeks, along with you. Come, let us join him in the holy place of | peace, which is for all of us, united as one within the cause of |
Tx:14.15 | of peace, which is for all of us, united as one within the cause of | peace. |
Tx:14.29 | it was given Him for you. Do not delay yourselves in your return to | peace by wondering how He can fulfill what God has given Him to do. |
Tx:14.46 | of holiness calls everyone to lay all guilt aside. Reflect the | peace of Heaven here and bring this world to Heaven. For the |
Tx:14.63 | and if all those who meet or even think of you share in your perfect | peace, then you can be sure that you have learned God's lesson and |
Tx:14.63 | and hinder you and everyone around you. The absence of perfect | peace means but one thing: you think you do not will for God's |
Tx:14.64 | use your experiences to confirm what you have learned. When your | peace is threatened or disturbed in any way, say to yourself, |
Tx:14.72 | Think not you understand anything until you pass the test of perfect | peace, for peace and understanding go together and never can be found |
Tx:14.72 | understand anything until you pass the test of perfect peace, for | peace and understanding go together and never can be found alone. |
Tx:14.73 | are with them can really learn at all. And for this, it must be | peace they want and nothing else. Whenever you think you know, |
Tx:14.73 | peace they want and nothing else. Whenever you think you know, | peace will depart from you because you have abandoned the Teacher of |
Tx:14.73 | peace will depart from you because you have abandoned the Teacher of | Peace. Whenever you fully realize that you know not, peace will |
Tx:14.73 | Teacher of Peace. Whenever you fully realize that you know not, | peace will return, for you will have invited Him to do so by |
Tx:14.74 | If you want | peace, you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of peace |
Tx:14.74 | want peace, you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of | peace will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He will never |
Tx:14.74 | do so. With your perfection ever in His sight, He gives the gift of | peace to everyone who perceives the need for peace and who would have |
Tx:14.74 | He gives the gift of peace to everyone who perceives the need for | peace and who would have it. Make way for peace, and it will come. |
Tx:14.74 | who perceives the need for peace and who would have it. Make way for | peace, and it will come. For understanding is in you, and from it |
Tx:14.74 | peace, and it will come. For understanding is in you, and from it | peace must come. |
Tx:14.75 | so filled with power that nothing will prevail against your | peace. And this will be the test by which you recognize that you have |
Tx:15.3 | you beyond the grave. And out of its unwillingness for you to find | peace even in the death it wants for you, it offers you immortality |
Tx:15.7 | past and future be the same is hidden a far more insidious threat to | peace. The ego does not advertise its final threat, for it would have |
Tx:15.7 | himself as deserving hell can believe that punishment will end in | peace. |
Tx:15.10 | the Holy Spirit's use of time as a teaching aid to happiness and | peace. Take this very instant, now, and think of it as all there |
Tx:15.14 | instant? As long as it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect | peace, and perfect love for everyone, for God, and for yourself. As |
Tx:15.16 | and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of | peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to learning it have |
Tx:15.17 | instant of holiness which will remove all fear. For the instant of | peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will come, |
Tx:15.22 | for anything in this world with the belief that it will bring you | peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding yourself to glory. |
Tx:15.23 | evaluation of yourself. Choose littleness and you will not have | peace, for you will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever |
Tx:15.30 | less than glory. Learn that you must be worthy of the Prince of | Peace, born in you in honor of Him Whose host you are. You know not |
Tx:15.30 | will you learn that only holiness can content you and give you | peace? |
Tx:15.31 | but into the altar to holiness, where holiness abides in perfect | peace. My Kingdom is not of this world because it is in you. And |
Tx:15.32 | you. I will as my Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at | peace forever with Itself. You will be content with nothing but His |
Tx:15.33 | salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for | peace yourself, salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can |
Tx:15.34 | power is forever on the side of His host, for it protects only the | peace in which He dwells. Lay not littleness before His holy altar, |
Tx:15.36 | His will content you, and there is nothing else that can bring you | peace. For peace is of God and of no one beside Him. |
Tx:15.36 | content you, and there is nothing else that can bring you peace. For | peace is of God and of no one beside Him. |
Tx:15.38 | willingly and gladly give over every plan but His. For there lies | peace, perfectly clear because you have been willing to meet its |
Tx:15.56 | it is equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship and find | peace within it. Under the Holy Spirit's teaching, all |
Tx:15.60 | Herein lies | peace, for here there is no conflict. In the world of scarcity, |
Tx:15.60 | is no conflict. In the world of scarcity, love has no meaning, and | peace is impossible. For gain and loss are both accepted, and so no |
Tx:15.63 | It is through us that | peace will come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in ideas minds |
Tx:15.63 | It is through us that peace will come. Join me in the idea of | peace, for in ideas minds can communicate. If you would give |
Tx:15.80 | creations calls to you to share your will with them. Turn, then, in | peace from guilt to God and them. |
Tx:15.97 | you can give all your guilt away whatever you think and purchase | peace. And the payment does not seem to be yours. While it is |
Tx:15.100 | both the question and the answer—the demand for sacrifice and the | peace of God. |
Tx:15.104 | from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings | peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the |
Tx:15.104 | as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as | peace is the condition for the awareness of your relationship with |
Tx:15.104 | you exclude your Father and your brothers from yourself. Through | peace you invite them back and realize that they are where your |
Tx:15.104 | can perceive part of himself as loathsome and live within himself in | peace? And who can try to resolve the perceived conflict of Heaven |
Tx:15.107 | the body's interference, and where there is communication, there is | peace. The Prince of Peace was born to reestablish the condition of |
Tx:15.107 | and where there is communication, there is peace. The Prince of | Peace was born to reestablish the condition of love by teaching that |
Tx:15.108 | is everywhere. For communication embraces everything, and in the | peace it re-establishes, love comes of itself. Let no despair darken |
Tx:15.108 | of Christ is meaningless apart from joy. Let us join in celebrating | peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so will you offer me |
Tx:16.6 | Do not confuse your role with His, for this will never bring | peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His |
Tx:16.17 | This is a year of joy in which your listening will increase, and | peace will grow with its increase. The power of holiness and the |
Tx:16.20 | not in their denial. This year invest in truth, and let it work in | peace. Have faith in what has faith in you. Think what you have |
Tx:16.21 | what you taught before He came. And the results have been to bring | peace where there was pain, and suffering has disappeared, to be |
Tx:16.31 | cross the bridge in perfect safety, translated quietly from war to | peace. For the illusion of love will never satisfy, but its |
Tx:16.33 | only an escape from death. They seek it desperately but not in the | peace in which it would gladly come quietly to them. And when they |
Tx:16.35 | certain that you perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet | peace will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its |
Tx:16.38 | Him by your completion. Fear not to cross to the abode of | peace and perfect holiness. Only there is the completion of God and |
Tx:16.75 | has been uprooted and has disappeared. The stillness and the | peace of now enfolds you in perfect gentleness. Everything is gone |
Tx:17.6 | you. But forget not this: When you become disturbed and lose your | peace of mind because another is attempting to solve his problems |
Tx:17.12 | his home. And there he knows that he has always rested there in | peace. Even salvation will become a dream and vanish from his mind. |
Tx:17.26 | have excluded me. Let me enter in the Name of God and bring you | peace that you may offer peace to me. |
Tx:17.26 | me enter in the Name of God and bring you peace that you may offer | peace to me. |
Tx:17.42 | meaning of relationship and know it to be true. Let us ascend in | peace together to the Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. |
Tx:17.61 | If the situation is used for truth and sanity, its outcome must be | peace. And this is quite apart from what the outcome is. If peace |
Tx:17.61 | be peace. And this is quite apart from what the outcome is. If | peace is the condition of truth and sanity and cannot be without |
Tx:17.61 | condition of truth and sanity and cannot be without them, where | peace is they must be. Truth comes of itself. If you experience |
Tx:17.61 | peace is they must be. Truth comes of itself. If you experience | peace, it is because the truth has come to you, and you will see the |
Tx:17.61 | against you. And you will recognize the outcome because you are at | peace. Here again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of looking, |
Tx:17.63 | conflicts with unity and must obscure the goal of truth. And | peace will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has not come |
Tx:17.63 | solutions bring but the illusion of experience, and the illusion of | peace is not the condition in which the truth can enter. |
Tx:17.67 | set. The goal's reality will call this forth, for you will see that | peace and faith will not come separately. What situation can you be |
Tx:17.68 | but with the value of the goal to you. Accept not the illusion of | peace it offers, but look upon its offering and recognize it is |
Tx:17.73 | your faithlessness against it, for it calls you to salvation and to | peace. |
Tx:17.74 | has not forced any exclusion on it. It is a situation of perfect | peace simply because you have let it be what it is. |
Tx:17.75 | interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you | peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it |
Tx:17.75 | and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for | peace. But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it |
Tx:17.79 | truth as the goal for your relationship, you became givers of | peace as surely as your Father gave peace to you. For the goal of |
Tx:17.79 | you became givers of peace as surely as your Father gave | peace to you. For the goal of peace cannot be accepted apart from its |
Tx:17.79 | of peace as surely as your Father gave peace to you. For the goal of | peace cannot be accepted apart from its conditions, and you had |
Tx:18.10 | stand together. God is with you, my brothers. Let us join in Him in | peace and gratitude and accept His gift as our most holy and perfect |
Tx:18.12 | of the original error which shattered Heaven. And what became of | peace in those who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking together |
Tx:18.13 | Accept it here, and you will give as you have accepted. The | peace of God is given you with the glowing purpose in which you join. |
Tx:18.35 | not believe that it is up to you to establish the conditions for | peace. God has established them. They do not wait upon your |
Tx:18.46 | relationship is one, and so it must be that whatever threatens the | peace of one is an equal threat to the other. The power of joining |
Tx:18.59 | your Identity and would not limit it. You have escaped from fear to | peace, asking no questions of reality but merely accepting it. You |
Tx:18.61 | lifting of the barriers of time and space, the sudden experience of | peace and joy, and, above all, the lack of awareness of the body and |
Tx:18.62 | freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in | peace. Not through destruction, not through a “breaking out,” but |
Tx:18.62 | through a “breaking out,” but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For | peace will join you there simply because you have been willing to let |
Tx:18.62 | it is and where it led you in answer to its gentle call to be at | peace. |
Tx:18.67 | to concentrate on this than to consider what you should do. When | peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight |
Tx:18.80 | your bleak and joyless kingdom, and to transform it into a garden of | peace and welcome. |
Tx:18.98 | clean perception. There is your purpose now. And it is there that | peace awaits you. |
Tx:19.1 | before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to truth, | peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion by which the |
Tx:19.1 | of the dedication can be safely assumed. Yet we also said that | peace without faith will never be attained, for what is wholly |
Tx:19.15 | for the most holy garden which He would make of it. For faith brings | peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make lovely what has |
Tx:19.15 | has already been prepared for loveliness. Truth follows faith and | peace, completing the process of making lovely which they begin. For |
Tx:19.37 | As this | peace extends from deep inside yourselves to embrace all the Sonship |
Tx:19.37 | your brothers and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet | peace will gently cover them, extending past completely unhindered. |
Tx:19.37 | This is the way in which He will bring means and goal in line. The | peace He laid deep within both of you] will quietly extend to every |
Tx:19.38 | give him rest, as it was given you. All this will you do. Yet the | peace which already lies deeply within must first expand and flow |
Tx:19.39 | the light in them will show you all that you need to see. When the | peace in you has been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy |
Tx:19.40 | The first obstacle that | peace must flow across is your desire to get rid of it. For it |
Tx:19.41 | Why would you want | peace homeless? What do you think that it must dispossess to dwell |
Tx:19.41 | yourselves alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would bring | peace to everyone, and how can He do this except through you? Would |
Tx:19.41 | you cherish still against each other that is the first obstacle the | peace in you encounters in its going forth. This little wall of |
Tx:19.42 | The Holy Spirit's purpose rests in | peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you |
Tx:19.43 | away from the giver of salvation? For such have you become. | Peace could no more depart from you than from God. Fear not this |
Tx:19.43 | Fear not this little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of God. | Peace will flow across it and join you without hindrance. Salvation |
Tx:19.43 | you. The little wall will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of | peace! For peace will send its messengers from you to all the world. |
Tx:19.43 | wall will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For | peace will send its messengers from you to all the world. And |
Tx:19.47 | seemed to be the world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to | peace. Its pointless wandering makes its results appear to be more |
Tx:19.59 | We said that | peace must first surmount the obstacle of your desire to get rid of |
Tx:19.59 | desire to get rid of it. Where the attraction of guilt holds sway, | peace is not wanted. The second obstacle that peace must flow |
Tx:19.59 | of guilt holds sway, peace is not wanted. The second obstacle that | peace must flow across, and closely related to the first, is the |
Tx:19.60 | This [is] the value that you think | peace would rob you of. This is what you believe that it would |
Tx:19.60 | you homeless. And it is this for which you would deny a home to | peace. This “sacrifice” you feel to be too great to make, too much to |
Tx:19.61 | the body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and be at | peace. Such is the message that I gave them for you. |
Tx:19.63 | | Peace is extended from you only to the eternal, and it reaches out |
Tx:19.63 | is no more solid than the first. For you will neither to get rid of | peace nor limit it. What are these obstacles which you would |
Tx:19.63 | limit it. What are these obstacles which you would interpose between | peace and its going forth but barriers you place between your will |
Tx:19.64 | dearly for your illusions, and nothing you have paid for brought you | peace. Are you not glad that Heaven cannot be sacrificed, and |
Tx:19.64 | and not outside. How easily the gates are opened from within to let | peace through to bless the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to |
Tx:19.66 | keep you not apart from what is offered you in gratitude for giving | peace its home in Heaven. Send forth to all the world the joyous |
Tx:19.68 | the Holy Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the | peace He gave instead, without the limits which would hold its |
Tx:19.68 | this you would be rid of, and having it you cannot limit it. If | peace is homeless, so are you and so am I. And He Who is our home is |
Tx:19.68 | us. Is this your will? Would you forever be a wanderer in search of | peace? Would you invest your hope of peace and happiness in what |
Tx:19.68 | be a wanderer in search of peace? Would you invest your hope of | peace and happiness in what must fail? |
Tx:19.69 | patience, and wholly loving. It will accept you wholly and give you | peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is at peace in you, |
Tx:19.69 | and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is at | peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can bring you neither |
Tx:19.69 | at peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can bring you neither | peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. It is a means and not an |
Tx:19.69 | mind can see the means for its accomplishment and justify its use.] | Peace and guilt are both conditions of the mind to be attained. And |
Tx:19.74 | great deceiver recognizes that this is not so, but as the “enemy” of | peace, it urges you to send out all your messages of hate and free |
Tx:19.77 | strange devotion, for it contains the third of the obstacles which | peace must flow across. No one can die unless he chooses death. What |
Tx:19.80 | sick minds of the insane, dedicated to madness and set against the | peace of Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor |
Tx:19.84 | Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming love for death that | peace must flow across seems to be very great. For in it lies hidden |
Tx:19.87 | What can attack the guiltless? What fear can enter and disturb the | peace of sinlessness? What has been given you, even in its infancy, |

Tx:19.90 | them would you remember. And as this memory rises in your mind, | peace must still surmount a final obstacle after which is salvation |
Tx:19.91 | beyond it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's Love, | peace will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and to |
Tx:19.94 | Every obstacle that | peace must flow across is surmounted in just the same way; the fear |
Tx:19.94 | the fear is gone. And so it is with this. The desire to get rid of | peace and drive the Holy Spirit from you fades in the presence of the |
Tx:19.97 | And it was surely not the ego that led you here. No obstacle to | peace can be surmounted through its help. It does not open up its |
Tx:19.108 | purpose, without which is the journey meaningless. Here is the | peace of God, given to you eternally by Him. Here is the rest and |
Tx:20.1 | happily in the celebration of his release. For Easter is the sign of | peace, not pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ |
Tx:20.3 | the temptation of crucifixion and delay him there. Help him to go in | peace beyond it, with the light of his own innocence lighting his way |
Tx:20.9 | He sees no thorns, but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of | peace that shines on everything He looks upon and loves. |
Tx:20.11 | been given you to see no thorns, no strangers, and no obstacles to | peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look |
Tx:20.12 | the home we share in quietness, and where we live in gentleness and | peace as one together. |
Tx:20.14 | This is the way to Heaven and to the | peace of Easter, in which we join in glad awareness that the Son of |
Tx:20.25 | you, you shall this day enter with him to Paradise and know the | peace of God. |
Tx:20.33 | complete, nor is the whole completed without your part. The ark of | peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of another world goes |
Tx:20.35 | You may wonder how you can be at | peace when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done |
Tx:20.35 | are in time, there is so much that must be done before the way to | peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask yourself |
Tx:20.38 | single heart beat is the unity of love proclaimed and given welcome. | Peace to your holy relationship, which has the power to hold the |
Tx:20.39 | given you to see your brother's worth when all you want for him is | peace. And what you want for him, you will receive. |
Tx:20.40 | How can you estimate the worth of him who offers | peace to you? What would you want except his offering? His worth |
Tx:20.44 | certainty the universe rests in his gentle hands in safety and in | peace. Let us consider now what he must learn, to share his Father's |
Tx:20.53 | attraction, your preference to the holy instant which offers you | peace and understanding? Then lay aside the body and quietly |
Tx:20.54 | Everlasting Arms. Love's arms are open to receive you and give you | peace forever. |
Tx:20.69 | with the Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For | peace will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity |
Tx:20.77 | seemed terrifying and seen it change to sights of loveliness and | peace; when you have looked on scenes of violence and death and |
Tx:21.13 | this little cost seemed in your judgment to be too much to pay for | peace. |
Tx:21.47 | which sings the praises of another world, brings to it hope of | peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it sees that Heaven has |
Tx:21.87 | unto those who see the final question is necessary to the rest, as | peace must come to those who choose to heal and not to judge. |
Tx:21.90 | see, the happiness that could be always yours. Here is the constant | peace you could experience forever. Here is what denial has denied |
Tx:22.13 | a perfect shelter where his Self could be reborn in safety and in | peace. Such did his reason tell him; such he believed because it |
Tx:22.31 | Reason is not salvation in itself, but it makes way for | peace and brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can be |
Tx:22.31 | set like a heavy gate, locked and without a key, across the road to | peace. No one who looks on it without the help of reason would try to |
Tx:22.40 | that separates you now. Yet it is almost over in your awareness, and | peace has reached you even here before the veil. Think what will |
Tx:22.46 | against and sacrificed. For sin is carved into a block out of your | peace and laid between you and its return. Yet how can peace be so |
Tx:22.46 | out of your peace and laid between you and its return. Yet how can | peace be so fragmented? It is still whole, and nothing has been taken |
Tx:22.56 | Children of | peace, the light has come to you. The light you bring you do not |
Tx:22.56 | in minds that serve the timeless. And no illusion can disturb the | peace of a relationship which has become the means of peace. |
Tx:22.56 | disturb the peace of a relationship which has become the means of | peace. |
Tx:22.58 | this releasing is the world released. This is your part in bringing | peace. For you have asked what is your function here and have been |
Tx:22.58 | they are received and welcomed. He will use every one of them for | peace. Nor will one little smile or willingness to overlook the |
Tx:22.59 | forever. He will take each one and make of it a potent force for | peace. He will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any way. |
Tx:23.2 | is sure that you will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in | peace who travels sinlessly along the way love shows him. For love |
Tx:23.7 | not eternal gentleness. The means of war are not the means of | peace, and what the warlike would remember is not love. War is |
Tx:23.10 | yourself is almost over. The journey's end is at the place of | peace. Would you not now accept the peace offered you here? This |
Tx:23.10 | journey's end is at the place of peace. Would you not now accept the | peace offered you here? This “enemy” you fought as an intruder on |
Tx:23.10 | offered you here? This “enemy” you fought as an intruder on your | peace is here transformed before your sight into the giver of your |
Tx:23.10 | peace is here transformed before your sight into the giver of your | peace. Your “enemy” was God Himself, to Whom all conflict, triumph, |
Tx:23.13 | stands radiant, apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the | peace of God. |
Tx:23.14 | with yourself? Let all this madness be undone for you and turn in | peace to the remembrance of God, still shining in your quiet mind. |
Tx:23.15 | He loves forever. And what He loves must be forever quiet and at | peace because it is His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no |
Tx:23.16 | your brother to the home where God has set him in serenity and | peace and dwells with him. Illusions have no place where love abides, |
Tx:23.16 | protecting you from everything that is not true. You dwell in | peace as limitless as its Creator, and everything is given those who |
Tx:23.16 | remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its | peace can never be disturbed. |
Tx:23.18 | illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war. | Peace, looking on itself, extends itself. War is the condition in |
Tx:23.18 | the condition in which fear is born and grows and seeks to dominate. | Peace is the state where love abides and seeks to share itself. |
Tx:23.18 | the state where love abides and seeks to share itself. Conflict and | peace are opposites. Where one abides the other cannot be; where |
Tx:23.18 | senseless war it shines, ready to be remembered when you side with | peace. |
Tx:23.40 | to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is | peace in your awareness? Are you certain which way you go? And are |
Tx:23.44 | forgiveness. Would you not want to recognize assault upon your | peace in any form, if only thus does it become impossible that you |
Tx:23.45 | Those who believe that | peace can be defended and that attack is justified on its behalf |
Tx:23.45 | by side with the belief that murder takes some forms by which their | peace is saved? Would they be willing to accept the fact their savage |
Tx:23.46 | Mistake not truce for | peace, nor compromise for the escape from conflict. To be released |
Tx:23.52 | There is a stab of pain, a twinge of guilt, and above all, a loss of | peace. This you know well. When it occurs, leave not your place on |
Tx:23.52 | to remain where He would have you, and no illusion can attack the | peace of God together with His Son. |
Tx:24.1 | for this course is the attainment and the keeping of the state of | peace. Given this state the mind is quiet, and the condition in which |
Tx:24.1 | He is already. And can it be He cannot enter where He wills to be? | Peace will be yours because it is His Will. Can you believe a |
Tx:24.2 | follow guilt and freedom sinlessness. There is no substitute for | peace. What God creates has no alternative. The truth arises from |
Tx:24.3 | a substitute to take its place. And now must war, the substitute for | peace, come with the one alternative that you can choose for love. |
Tx:24.4 | Mistake you not the power of these hidden warriors to disrupt your | peace. For it is at their mercy while you decide to leave it there. |
Tx:24.4 | mercy while you decide to leave it there. The secret enemies of | peace, your least decision to choose attack instead of love, |
Tx:24.11 | Here must he be your enemy and not your friend. Never can there be | peace among the different. He is your friend because you are the |
Tx:24.13 | Pursuit of specialness is always at the cost of | peace. Who can attack his savior and cut him down yet recognize his |
Tx:24.14 | Him. They chose their specialness instead of Heaven and instead of | peace and wrapped it carefully in sin to keep it “safe” from truth. |
Tx:24.20 | truth stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing and in | peace so real and so encompassing that nothing stands outside. Leave |
Tx:24.22 | of God and you as one seem anything but Heaven and the hope of | peace at last in sight. |
Tx:24.25 | that your plan has failed and will forever fail to bring you | peace and joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel now, yet |
Tx:24.31 | have forgiven Him Whose Will it is you rest forever in the arms of | peace in perfect safety and without the heat and malice of one |
Tx:24.32 | surrounded by a world of loveliness they do not see. Freedom and | peace and joy stand there beside the bier on which they sleep and |
Tx:24.37 | empty with an open door inviting everything that would disturb your | peace to enter and destroy. |
Tx:24.39 | certain in this shifting world which has no meaning in reality: when | peace is not with you entirely and when you suffer pain of any kind, |
Tx:24.41 | it may seem to be; however much it delicately offers the hope of | peace and the escape from pain—in which you suffer not your |
Tx:24.42 | Where could your | peace arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on |
Tx:24.42 | and sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at | peace because He sees no sin. Identify with Him, and what has He |
Tx:24.49 | Before your brother's holiness the world is still and | peace descends on it in gentleness and blessing so complete that not |
Tx:24.55 | him. And where is your salvation if he is but a body? Where is your | peace but in his holiness? And where is God Himself but in that part |
Tx:24.61 | alternative for Him to see. Out of His lack of conflict comes your | peace. And from His purpose comes the means for effortless |
Tx:25.12 | find a hope of satisfaction there. Perhaps you fancy to attain some | peace and satisfaction in the world as you perceive it. Yet it must |
Tx:25.28 | plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to | peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is but another |
Tx:25.29 | there are two ways to see. This world has much to offer to your | peace and many chances to extend your own forgiveness. Such its |
Tx:25.29 | your own forgiveness. Such its purpose is to those who want to see | peace and forgiveness descend on them and offer them the light. |
Tx:25.34 | a world that is not so, take rest and comfort in another world where | peace abides. This world you bring with you to all the weary eyes and |
Tx:25.35 | unafraid. And from you will the rest you found extend, so that your | peace can never fall away and leave you homeless. Those who offer |
Tx:25.35 | peace can never fall away and leave you homeless. Those who offer | peace to everyone have found a home in Heaven the world cannot |
Tx:25.35 | cannot destroy. For it is large enough to hold the world within its | peace. |
Tx:25.39 | is made, that you unite with him and join with him in innocence and | peace. And yet beneath the ego's senseless shrieks, such is the |
Tx:25.58 | no more be left outside without a special function in the hope of | peace than could the Father overlook His Son and pass him by in |
Tx:25.61 | in God's eternal saneness rest in perfect confidence and perfect | peace. Reason is satisfied, for all insane beliefs can be corrected |
Tx:25.77 | You have the right to all the universe—to perfect | peace, complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life |
Tx:25.78 | it means you will forgo all values of this world in favor of the | peace of Heaven. Not one sin would you retain. And not one doubt |
Tx:25.83 | unforgivable and warrant vengeance in place of healing and return of | peace? |
Tx:25.84 | is equally entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance and | peace. To give a problem to the Holy Spirit to solve for you means |
Tx:25.84 | to be unjust. And then must problems rise to block your way and | peace be scattered by the winds of hate. |
Tx:26.6 | the world recede and take the rest his witness offers on behalf of | peace. But judge him not, for you will hear no song of liberation for |
Tx:26.66 | Abide in | peace, where God would have you be, and be the means whereby your |
Tx:26.66 | would have you be, and be the means whereby your brother finds the | peace in which your wishes are fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing |
Tx:26.78 | standing there with you, have blessed it with Their innocence and | peace. |
Tx:27.11 | of sin has been removed, is Heaven free to be remembered. Here its | peace can come and perfect healing take the place of death. The body |
Tx:27.13 | bodies are accusers. They stand firmly in the way of trust and | peace, proclaiming that the frail can have no trust and that the |
Tx:27.13 | the frail can have no trust and that the damaged have no grounds for | peace. Who has been injured by his brother and could love and trust |
Tx:27.35 | thoughts, complete and happy, without opposite. You do not know the | peace of power which opposes nothing. Yet no other kind can be at |
Tx:27.39 | “Of these illusions, which of them are true? Which ones establish | peace and offer joy? And which can bring escape from all the pain of |
Tx:27.46 | to a state of mind which has transcended conflict and has reached to | peace. It carries comfort from the place of peace into the |
Tx:27.46 | and has reached to peace. It carries comfort from the place of | peace into the battleground and demonstrates that war has no effects. |
Tx:27.47 | will the world indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld its | peace and comfort, leaving it to die. Would not a world so bitterly |
Tx:27.53 | | Peace be to you to whom is healing offered. And you will learn that |
Tx:27.53 | Peace be to you to whom is healing offered. And you will learn that | peace is given you when you accept the healing for yourself. Its |
Tx:27.69 | Careless indeed of him this mind must be, as thoughtless of his | peace and happiness as is the weather or the time of day. It loves |
Tx:27.70 | could you choose between but life or death, waking or sleeping, | peace or war, your dreams or your reality? Yet if the choice is |
Tx:28.13 | to keep its fearful image in the way of glad awakening to present | peace. The trumpets of eternity resound throughout the stillness, yet |
Tx:29.3 | The fear of God! The greatest obstacle that | peace must flow across has not yet gone. The rest are past, but this |
Tx:29.9 | Yet all that happens when the gap is gone is | peace eternal. Nothing more than that, and nothing less. Without the |
Tx:29.11 | for regret but cause indeed for glad rejoicing and for hope of | peace. |
Tx:29.12 | It has been hopeless to attempt to find the hope of | peace upon a battleground. It has been futile to demand escape from |
Tx:29.14 | nor where His host can meet with Him. And nowhere else His gifts of | peace and joy and all the happiness His Presence brings can be |
Tx:29.31 | abide are They remembered both. And where They are is Heaven and is | peace. Think not that you can change Their dwelling place. For your |
Tx:29.32 | but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still infinity of endless | peace surrounds you gently in its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, |
Tx:29.32 | and eternal that abide in him, for your Identity is there. The | peace in you can but be found in him. And every thought of love you |
Tx:29.32 | of love you offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening to | peace eternal and to endless joy. |
Tx:29.34 | he has it is it given you, and where it lies in him, behold your | peace. The quiet that surrounds you dwells in him, and from this |
Tx:29.35 | Who would lay bloody hands on Heaven itself and hope to find its | peace? Your brother thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him |
Tx:29.37 | outside yourself. And leading finally beyond all dreams unto the | peace of everlasting life. |
Tx:29.38 | How willing are you to forgive your brother? How much do you desire | peace instead of endless strife and misery and pain? These questions |
Tx:29.38 | questions are the same in different form. Forgiveness is your | peace, for herein lies the end of separation and the dream of danger |
Tx:29.38 | and loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and gladly offers | peace instead of this. |
Tx:29.43 | falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be no | peace excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God calls will |
Tx:29.44 | there is something outside of himself that will bring happiness and | peace to him. If everything is in him, this cannot be so. And |
Tx:29.48 | to be complete and happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of | peace. God dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol |
Tx:29.53 | as dangerous, with forces massed against your confidence and | peace of mind. They have the power to supply your lacks and add the |
Tx:29.53 | you from the world and lets you stand apart in quiet and in | peace [unlimited]. |
Tx:29.56 | what has life and power worthy of the gift of Heaven and eternal | peace. The miracle does not restore the truth, the light the veil |
Tx:29.57 | to be made the slaves of time. Here does the changeless change, the | peace of God, forever given to all living things, give way to chaos, |
Tx:29.60 | would the Son of God but laugh if idols could intrude upon his | peace. It is for him the Holy Spirit speaks and tells you idols |
Tx:30.43 | exists within God's Mind. It is forever one, eternally united and at | peace. |
Tx:30.47 | of battle comes remotely near, it rests in certainty and perfect | peace. Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware of all |
Tx:31.11 | But listen, rather, to the deeper call beyond it that appeals for | peace and joy. And all the world will give you joy and peace. For |
Tx:31.11 | appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will give you joy and | peace. For as you hear, you answer. And behold! Your answer is the |
Tx:31.15 | in their fusion there appears to be the hope of satisfaction and of | peace. You see yourself divided into both these roles, forever split |
Tx:31.50 | a way to help you see this concept of the self must be undone if any | peace of mind is to be given you. Nor can it be unlearned except by |
Tx:31.58 | in the confidence that it will go at last and leave your mind at | peace. The role of the accuser will appear in many places and in many |
Tx:31.72 | let the cruel concept of yourself be changed to one which brings the | peace of God. |
Tx:31.73 | that it needs to let it serve the function given you to bring you | peace that you may offer peace to have it yours. Alternatives are in |
Tx:31.73 | serve the function given you to bring you peace that you may offer | peace to have it yours. Alternatives are in your mind to use, and you |

W1:34.1 | to describe the conditions that prevail in the other way of seeing. | Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your |
W1:34.1 | with your own thoughts and then extend outward. It is from your | peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises. |
W1:34.5 | applications are to be frequent and made whenever you feel your | peace of mind is threatened in any way. The purpose is to protect |
W1:34.6 | I could see | peace in this situation instead of what I now see in it. |
W1:34.7 | If the inroads on your | peace of mind take the form of more generalized adverse emotions, |

W1:47.8 | will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep | peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial things that churn and |
W1:47.8 | Kingdom of Heaven. There is a place in you where there is perfect | peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is |
W1:47.9 | today often. Use it as your answer to any disturbance. Remember that | peace is your right because you are giving your trust to the strength |
W1:48.2 | that you use the idea immediately should anything disturb your | peace of mind. |
W1:49.2 | it. Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and | peace reign forever. Try to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, |
W1:49.4 | thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the | peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and |
W1:50.2 | all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect | peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind which |
W1:50.4 | let related thoughts come to help you recognize its truth, and allow | peace to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let |

W1:R1.5 | you will learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your | peace is everywhere, as you are. |
W1:52.2 | It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality brings only perfect | peace. When I am upset, it is always because I have replaced reality |

W1:55.3 | will save me from this perception of the world and give me the | peace God intended me to have. |
W1:55.4 | allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of | peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to see in place of what |
W1:57.5 | [34] I could see | peace instead of this. When I see the world as a place of freedom, I |
W1:57.5 | of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I will understand that | peace, not war, abides in it. And I will perceive that peace also |
W1:57.5 | that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will perceive that | peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this place with me. |
W1:57.6 | [35] My mind is part of God's. I am very holy. As I share the | peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this |
W1:57.6 | peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this | peace comes from deep within myself. The world I look upon has taken |
W1:59.2 | How can I be disturbed by anything when He rests in me in absolute | peace? How can I suffer when love and joy surround me through Him? |
W1:61.4 | you have made about yourself to the truth and helps you depart in | peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose. |
W1:63.1 | How holy are you who have the power to bring | peace to every mind! How blessed are you who can learn to recognize |
W1:63.4 | The light of the world brings | peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the means God has |

W1:70.2 | means that nothing outside yourself can hurt you or disturb your | peace or upset you in any way. |
W1:72.9 | it instead. Your upside-down perception has been ruinous to your | peace of mind. You have seen yourself in a body and the truth outside |
W1:74.1 | your will is His. The belief that conflict is possible has gone. | Peace has replaced the strange idea that you are torn by conflicting |
W1:74.2 | There is great | peace in today's idea. And the exercises for today are directed |
W1:74.2 | is impossible. Let us try to recognize this today and experience the | peace this recognition brings. |
W1:74.6 | I am at | peace. Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My will and God's are |
W1:74.6 | disturb me. My will is God's My will and God's are one. God wills | peace for His Son. |

W1:74.14 | There is no will but God's. I seek His | peace today. |

W1:79.9 | recognition are all problems resolved. In this recognition there is | peace. |
W1:80.1 | has been answered, and you have no other. Therefore you must be at | peace. Salvation does depend on recognizing this one problem and |
W1:80.3 | You are entitled to | peace today. A problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. |
W1:80.3 | you while you remember this. One problem—one solution. Accept the | peace this simple statement brings. |
W1:80.4 | In our longer practice periods today, we will claim the | peace that must be ours when the problem and the answer have been |
W1:80.5 | Now let the | peace that your acceptance brings be given you. Close your eyes and |
W1:80.5 | been solved. Recognize that you are out of conflict, free, and at | peace. Above all, remember that you have one problem and that the |

W1:96.5 | find its Self-expression. And the mind which serves the Spirit is at | peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from Spirit, and it is |
W1:96.5 | a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then, it has no | peace, and happiness is alien to its thoughts. |
W1:96.8 | Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the way to | peace. Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His Voice |
W1:96.15 | that it sought to lose. Your Self will welcome it and give it | peace. Restored in strength, it will again flow out from Spirit to |

W1:104.1 | Today's idea continues with the thought that joy and | peace are not but idle dreams. They are your right because of what |
W1:104.5 | I seek but what belongs to me in truth, and joy and | peace are my inheritance. |
W1:104.7 | a holy place within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of | peace and joy are welcome and to which we come to find what has been |
W1:104.8 | by simply recognizing that His Will is done already and that joy and | peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We will not let ourselves |
W1:104.9 | I seek but what belongs to me in truth. God's gifts of joy and | peace are all I want. |
W1:105.1 | God's | peace and joy are yours. Today we will accept them, knowing they |
W1:105.4 | Accept God's | peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a |
W1:105.4 | when they are given away. They but increase thereby. As Heaven's | peace and joy intensify when you accept them as God's gift to you, so |
W1:105.4 | so does the joy of your Creator grow when you accept His joy and | peace as yours. |
W1:105.6 | Today accept God's | peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines |
W1:105.6 | give through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and | peace today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him. |
W1:105.7 | today by thinking of those brothers who have been denied by you the | peace and joy that are their right under the equal laws of God. Here |
W1:105.8 | My brother, | peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and joy as |
W1:105.8 | My brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's | peace and joy as mine. |
W1:105.9 | would prevent success today. Now are you ready to accept the gift of | peace and joy which God has given you. Now are you ready to |
W1:105.9 | which God has given you. Now are you ready to experience the joy and | peace you have denied yourself. Now you can say, “God's peace and joy |
W1:105.9 | the joy and peace you have denied yourself. Now you can say, “God's | peace and joy are mine,” for you have given what you would receive. |
W1:105.10 | if you prepare your mind as we suggest, for you have let all bars to | peace and joy be lifted up, and what is yours can come to you at |
W1:105.10 | and what is yours can come to you at last. So tell yourself “God's | peace and joy are mine,” and close your eyes a while, and let His |
W1:105.13 | My brother, | peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and joy as |
W1:105.13 | My brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's | peace and joy as mine. |
W1:106.2 | Which silences the thunder of the meaningless and shows the way to | peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to the |
W1:107.2 | a minute, maybe even less—when nothing came to interrupt your | peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe. Then try to |
W1:107.13 | Him lead you gently to the truth which will envelop you and give you | peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar world |
W1:108.1 | seeming opposites. And what is light except the resolution, born of | peace, of all your conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept |
W1:108.1 | behind it will appear instead, to take its place. And now we are at | peace forever, for the dream is over now. |
W1:108.3 | being healed, has power to heal. This is the light that brings your | peace of mind to other minds, to share it and be glad that they are |
W1:108.7 | cannot miss. To give is to receive. Today we will attempt to offer | peace to everyone and see how quickly peace returns to us. Light is |
W1:108.7 | Today we will attempt to offer peace to everyone and see how quickly | peace returns to us. Light is tranquility, and in that peace is |
W1:108.7 | how quickly peace returns to us. Light is tranquility, and in that | peace is vision given us and we can see. |
W1:108.11 | To everyone I offer quietness. To everyone I offer | peace of mind. To everyone I offer gentleness. |
W1:109.1 | today and quietness unshaken by the world's appearances. We ask for | peace and stillness in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing |
W1:109.2 | “I rest in God.” This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, | peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I |
W1:109.4 | This is the day of | peace. You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds of hate, |
W1:109.6 | you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from dreams and into | peace. |
W1:109.7 | each time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring the | peace of God into the world that it might take its rest along with |
W1:109.9 | You rest within the | peace of God today and call upon your brothers from your rest, to |
W1:109.9 | no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your | peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest. |
W1:109.10 | —bid them all enter here and rest with you. You rest within the | peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to take |
W1:110.13 | that opens up the gate of Heaven, and which lets you enter in the | peace of God and His eternity. |
W1:R3.4 | can offer everything to you. And so accept its offering and be at | peace. |
W1:R3.11 | it, and allow your mind to rest a little time in silence and in | peace. Then turn to other things, but try to keep the thought with |
W1:R3.11 | to keep the thought with you and let it serve to help you keep your | peace throughout the day as well. If you are shaken, think of it |
W1:112.2 | [93] Light and joy and | peace abide in me. I am the home of light and joy and peace. I |
W1:112.2 | and joy and peace abide in me. I am the home of light and joy and | peace. I welcome them into the home I share with God, because I am a |
W1:112.5 | Light and joy and | peace abide in me. |
W1:113.2 | [95] I am One Self, united with my Creator. Serenity and perfect | peace are mine because I am One Self, completely whole, at one with |
W1:118.2 | [105] God's | peace and joy are mine. Today I will accept God's peace and joy in |
W1:118.2 | [105] God's peace and joy are mine. Today I will accept God's | peace and joy in glad exchange for all the substitutes which I have |
W1:118.2 | exchange for all the substitutes which I have made for happiness and | peace. |
W1:118.5 | God's | peace and joy are mine. |
W1:121.1 | Here is the answer to your search for | peace. Here is the key to meaning in a world which seems to make no |
W1:121.1 | bring uncertainty to all your hopes of ever finding quietness and | peace. Here are all questions answered; here the end of all |
W1:121.2 | love no room to be itself, no place where it can spread its wings in | peace and soar above the turmoil of the world. The unforgiving mind |
W1:122.1 | What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want | peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a |
W1:122.2 | And when you wake again, it offers you another day of happiness and | peace. All this forgiveness offers you, and more. |
W1:122.8 | Open your eyes today, and look upon a happy world of safety and of | peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place |
W1:122.11 | of the answer brings. Today it will be given you to feel the | peace forgiveness offers and the joy the lifting of the veil holds |
W1:124.5 | We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives way to | peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the distressed, the |
W1:124.5 | the lonely and afraid, who are restored to the tranquility and | peace of mind in which they were created. And we see it in the dying |
W1:124.8 | | Peace be to you today. Secure your peace by practicing awareness you |
W1:124.8 | Peace be to you today. Secure your | peace by practicing awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is |
W1:125.1 | you from deep within your mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No | peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world; until |
W1:125.1 | the message which the world must hear to usher in the quiet time of | peace. |
W1:125.4 | across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy time of | peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place within |
W1:125.6 | desires have been stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is | peace within you to be called upon today to help make ready your most |
W1:125.8 | to you. It is your Word He speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of | peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no separation nor division |
W1:126.2 | can judge their sin and yet remain apart from condemnation and at | peace. |
W1:126.6 | without requiring correction in your mind. It cannot give you | peace as you perceive it. It is not a means for your release from |
W1:128.6 | | Peace and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the |
W1:129.1 | is far more satisfying, filled with joy, and capable of offering you | peace. Think you this world can offer that to you? |
W1:134.14 | more delayed. For we would meet with our reality in freedom and in | peace. Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for |
W1:135.7 | Is not this picture fearful? Can you be at | peace with such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the body |
W1:136.18 | Healing will flash across your open mind as | peace and truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. |
W1:137.13 | exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation for the | peace of God. Is not a minute of the hour worth the giving to receive |
W1:140.5 | | Peace be to you who have been cured in God and not in idle dreams. |
W1:140.10 | Voice which speaks to us of truth where all illusions end, and | peace returns to the eternal quiet home of God. |
W1:140.14 | And we will feel salvation cover us with soft protection and with | peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our minds nor offer proof |
W1:R4.7 | each idea you will review that day can offer you in freedom and in | peace. Open your mind and clear it of all thoughts that would |
W1:R4.12 | world from darkness to the light, from grief to joy, from pain to | peace, from sin to holiness. God offers thanks to you who practice |
W1:R4.12 | the day again before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you in the | peace wherein He wills you be forever and are learning now to claim |
W1:151.17 | round the world the joyous news that truth has no illusions and the | peace of God, through us, belongs to everyone. |
W1:152.2 | have the gift of everything, can loss be real? Can pain be part of | peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind where |
W1:152.15 | for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will substitute the | peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for |
W1:153.1 | are illusory deceptions. It attacks and then attacks again. No | peace of mind is possible where danger threatens thus. |
W1:153.5 | You do not realize what you have done to sabotage the holy | peace of God by your defensiveness. For you behold the Son of God as |
W1:153.16 | Each hour adds to our increasing | peace, as we remember to be faithful to the will we share with God. |
W1:153.21 | ministers of God can never fail because the love and strength and | peace that shine from them to all their brothers come from Him. These |
W1:156.8 | times a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established | peace. Today let doubting cease. God speaks for you in answering your |
W1:158.10 | another chance to let Christ's vision shine on you and offer you the | peace of God. |
W1:164.4 | a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient | peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a sense of |
W1:165.3 | Who would deny his safety and his | peace, his joy, his healing and his peace of mind, his quiet rest, |
W1:165.3 | Who would deny his safety and his peace, his joy, his healing and his | peace of mind, his quiet rest, his calm awakening if he but |
W1:170.4 | an enemy within—an alien thought at war with you, depriving you of | peace, splitting your mind into two camps which seem wholly |
W1:170.6 | upon its “enemy.” For fear becomes your safety and protector of your | peace, to which you turn for solace and escape from doubts about your |
W1:170.10 | Let us remember what the course has stressed about the obstacles to | peace. The final one, the hardest to believe is nothing and a seeming |
W1:170.13 | voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now your heart remains at | peace forever. You have chosen Him in place of idols, and your |
W1:170.14 | are like You. No cruelty abides in us for there is none in You. Your | peace is ours. And we bless the world with what we have received from |
W1:170.14 | us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our | peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us free. And we give |
W1:I2.1 | But you are asked to practice now in order to attain the sense of | peace such unified commitment will bestow, if only intermittently. It |
W1:I2.2 | which their lifting brings. But the experience of freedom and of | peace that comes as you give up your tight control of what you see |
W1:181.2 | Remove your focus on your brother's sins, and you experience the | peace that comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith receives its |
W1:182.5 | return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself within the | peace that is His home, resting in silence and in peace and love. |
W1:182.5 | Himself within the peace that is His home, resting in silence and in | peace and love. |
W1:182.7 | you hear His gentle Voice within you, calling you to let Him go in | peace along with you to where He is at home and you with Him. |
W1:182.8 | home, and you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at | peace, beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely |
W1:182.12 | in sight at last. Be still a moment and go home with Him, and be at | peace a while. |
W1:183.12 | exceeds in depth and height whatever words could possibly convey, is | peace eternal. In our Father's Name, we would experience this peace |
W1:183.12 | is peace eternal. In our Father's Name, we would experience this | peace today. And in His Name it shall be given us. |
W1:184.15 | Your Name unites us in the Oneness which is our inheritance and | peace. Amen. |
W1:185.2 | a dream. He cannot make a hell and think it real. He wants the | peace of God, and it is given him. For that is all he wants, and that |
W1:185.4 | in dreams. They merely bargain. And what bargain can give them the | peace of God? Illusions come to take His place. And what He means is |
W1:185.5 | To mean you want the | peace of God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these words |
W1:185.6 | The mind which means that all it wants is | peace must join with other minds, for that is how peace is obtained. |
W1:185.6 | all it wants is peace must join with other minds, for that is how | peace is obtained. And when the wish for peace is genuine, the means |
W1:185.6 | minds, for that is how peace is obtained. And when the wish for | peace is genuine, the means for finding it are given in a form each |
W1:185.7 | to recognizing that we really mean the words we say. We want the | peace of God. This is no idle wish. These words do not request |
W1:185.9 | all of them: “Is this what I would have, in place of Heaven and the | peace of God?” This is the choice you make. Be not deceived that it |
W1:185.9 | it is otherwise. No compromise is possible in this. You choose God's | peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will come as you |
W1:185.9 | dreams. And dreams will come as you requested them. Yet will God's | peace come just as certainly and to remain with you forever. It will |
W1:185.10 | You want the | peace of God. And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For them as |
W1:185.11 | No one who truly seeks the | peace of God can fail to find it. For he merely asks that he deceive |
W1:185.11 | could be unanswered who requests an answer which is his to give? The | peace of God is yours. |
W1:185.14 | With help like this beside us, can we fail today as we request the | peace of God be given us? |
W1:186.1 | earth in Heaven's plan to save the world, restoring it to Heaven's | peace. |
W1:186.8 | And so we find our | peace. We will accept the function God has given us, for all |
W1:188.3 | The | peace of God is shining in you now and from your heart extends around |
W1:188.5 | The | peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself |
W1:188.5 | He forgives because he recognized the truth in him. The | peace of God is shining in you now and in all living things. In |
W1:188.6 | to you. Exclude the outer world and let your thoughts fly to the | peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by |
W1:188.7 | God's | peace is shining on them, but they must remain with you as well, for |
W1:188.7 | within your mind as yours was born in God's. They lead you back to | peace from where they came but to remind you how you must return. |
W1:188.7 | you that you are the co-creator of all things that live. For as the | peace of God is shining in you, it must shine on them. |
W1:188.9 | Thus are our minds restored with them, and we acknowledge that the | peace of God still shines in us and from us to all living things that |
W1:188.10 | The | peace of God is shining in me now. Let all things shine upon me in |
W1:188.10 | of God is shining in me now. Let all things shine upon me in that | peace, and let me bless them with the light in me. |
W1:189.3 | meaningless. A world in which forgiveness shines on everything and | peace offers its gentle light to everyone is inconceivable to those |
W1:189.4 | who feel God's Love in them. Their world reflects the quietness and | peace that shines in them, the gentleness and innocence they see |
W1:190.4 | | Peace to such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at such insane |
W1:190.9 | arms and come without defense into the quiet place where Heaven's | peace holds all things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger |
W1:190.11 | to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the | peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the |
W1:192.6 | thinking that the body is its home. Only forgiveness can restore the | peace that God intended for His holy Son. Only forgiveness can |
W1:193.4 | foolish thoughts which crept into the mind of His most holy Son with | peace and joy fulfills His function now. He redirects each lesson you |
W1:193.14 | We will attempt today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to | peace in just one day. Let mercy come to you more quickly. Do not try |
W1:193.17 | happens in its course go with it. Thus will you remain unbound, in | peace eternal in the world of time. This is the lesson God would have |
W1:194.1 | the lawns that welcome you to Heaven's gate, the quiet place of | peace where you await with certainty the final step of God. How far |
W1:194.7 | who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his way to present | peace and certainty of care the world can never threaten. He is sure |
W1:194.8 | lays aside the sick illusions of the world along with his and offers | peace to both. |
W1:195.3 | brother is your “enemy” because you see in him the rival for your | peace, a plunderer who takes his joy from you and leaves you nothing |
W1:195.7 | a while. We offer thanks for them. For if we can direct them to the | peace that we would find, the way is opening at last to us. An |
W1:195.8 | when we lay comparisons aside. What more remains as obstacles to | peace? The fear of God is now undone at last, and we forgive without |
W1:196.12 | there are no obstacles that still remain between you and the holy | peace of God. How kind and merciful is the idea we practice! Give it |
W1:200.1 | Seek you no further. You will not find | peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and save yourself |
W1:200.1 | Seek you no further. You will not find peace except the | peace of God. Accept this fact, and save yourself the agony of yet |
W1:200.1 | you no further. There is nothing else for you to find except the | peace of God, unless you seek for misery and pain. |
W1:200.2 | where there is none, of being saved by what can only hurt, of making | peace of chaos, joy of pain, and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more |
W1:200.3 | can ask as easily for love, for happiness, and for eternal life in | peace that has no ending. Ask for this, and you can only win. To ask |
W1:200.7 | There is no | peace except the peace of God because He has one Son, who cannot make |
W1:200.7 | There is no peace except the | peace of God because He has one Son, who cannot make a world in |
W1:200.7 | because it never was created. Is it here that he would seek for | peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it, the world can but |
W1:200.7 | but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another way and find the | peace of God. |
W1:200.8 | | Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross to leave this world |
W1:200.8 | the bridge that everyone will cross to leave this world behind. But | peace begins within the world perceived as different and leading from |
W1:200.8 | from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. | Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, |
W1:200.8 | easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom lies within the | peace of God. |
W1:200.10 | Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an instant longer now. | Peace is already recognized at last, and you can feel its soft |
W1:200.11 | Today we seek no idols. | Peace cannot be found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only |
W1:200.11 | Today we seek no idols. Peace cannot be found in them. The | peace of God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be |
W1:200.11 | The peace of God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. | Peace be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave |
W1:200.11 | goals and solitary dreams with single purpose and companionship. For | peace is union if it be of God. We seek no further. We are close to |
W1:200.12 | There is no | peace except the peace of God, and I am glad and thankful it is so. |
W1:200.12 | There is no peace except the | peace of God, and I am glad and thankful it is so. |
W1:R6.6 | to reach a quickened pace along a shorter path to the serenity and | peace of God. We merely close our eyes and then forget all that we |
W1:R6.10 | times of quiet to the Teacher Who instructs in quiet, speaks of | peace, and gives our thoughts whatever meaning they may have. |
W1:205.1 | [185] I want the | peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of |
W1:205.1 | [185] I want the peace of God. The | peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; |
W1:205.1 | I want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want. The | peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I |
W1:208.1 | [188] The | peace of God is shining in me now. I will be still and let the earth |
W1:208.1 | be still along with me. And in that stillness, we will find the | peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself. |
W1:220.1 | [200] There is no | peace except the peace of God. Let me not wander from the way of |
W1:220.1 | [200] There is no peace except the | peace of God. Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost |
W1:220.1 | no peace except the peace of God. Let me not wander from the way of | peace, for I am lost on other roads than this. But let me follow Him |
W1:220.1 | other roads than this. But let me follow Him Who leads me home, and | peace is certain as the Love of God. I am not a body. I am free. |
W2:I.1 | to the times in which we leave the world of pain and go to enter | peace. Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set and find |
W2:221.1 | Father, I come to You today to seek the | peace that You alone can give. I come in silence. In the quiet of my |
W2:221.2 | answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His | peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself |
W2:222.2 | we come quietly into Your Presence now and ask to rest with You in | peace a while. |
W2:225.1 | its kindly light, inviolate—beloved, with fear behind and only | peace ahead. How still the way Your loving Son is led along to You! |
W2:225.2 | we find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow it in | peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I will never |
W2:230.1 | In | peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to |
W2:230.1 | In peace I was created. And in | peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful |
W2:230.1 | How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me | peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied |
W2:230.2 | Father, I seek the | peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be |
W2:230.2 | was apart from time and still remains beyond all change. The | peace in which Your Son was born into Your Mind is shining there |
W2:230.2 | I am as You created me. I need but call on You to find the | peace You gave. It is Your will that gave it to Your Son. |
W2:WS.1 | and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the thought of | peace. |
W2:WS.2 | The thought of | peace was given to God's Son the instant that his mind had thought of |
W2:WS.2 | had thought of war. There was no need for such a thought before, for | peace was given without opposite and merely was. But when the mind is |
W2:234.1 | dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we have reached again the holy | peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between |
W2:234.1 | are forever unified as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the | peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true |
W2:239.2 | it with us. We are one, united in this light, and one with You, at | peace with all creation and ourselves. |
W2:WIW.4 | Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you | peace and certainty, which you have thrown away but Heaven has |
W2:243.1 | I cannot make. Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in | peace as God created us. |
W2:245.1 | Your | peace surrounds me, Father. Where I go, Your peace goes there with |
W2:245.1 | Your peace surrounds me, Father. Where I go, Your | peace goes there with me. It sheds its light on everyone I meet. I |
W2:245.1 | meet. I bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I give Your | peace to those who suffer pain or grieve for loss or think they are |
W2:245.1 | of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my Father. Let me bring Your | peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your Will, that I may |
W2:245.2 | And so we go in | peace. To all the world we give the message that we have received. |
W2:WIS.3 | Himself, His Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and | peace to be no more. |
W2:251.1 | I everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at | peace. |
W2:251.2 | And for that | peace, our Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have |
W2:255.1 | It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but | peace today. And yet my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. |
W2:255.1 | me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the | peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He |
W2:255.1 | He says. God's Son can have no cares and must remain forever in the | peace of Heaven. In his name I give today to finding what my Father |
W2:255.2 | would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The | peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to |
W2:257.2 | And thus our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the | peace You will for us. |
W2:261.1 | Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my | peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and |
W2:261.1 | refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting | peace. And only there will I remember who I really am. |
W2:262.2 | about ourselves. We would come home and rest in unity. For there is | peace, and nowhere else can peace be sought and found. |
W2:262.2 | home and rest in unity. For there is peace, and nowhere else can | peace be sought and found. |
W2:264.1 | is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name today, to be at | peace within Your everlasting Love. |
W2:267.1 | heartbeat and in every breath, in every action and in every thought. | Peace fills my heart and floods my body with the purpose of |
W2:267.1 | all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me | peace; each breath infuses me with strength. I am a messenger of God, |
W2:267.1 | His Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held forever quiet and at | peace within His loving arms. Each heartbeat calls His Name, and |
W2:267.2 | attend Your Answer, not my own. Father, my heart is beating in the | peace the Heart of Love created. It is there and only there that I |
W2:270.2 | The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them | peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through |
W2:WIC.3 | of the Holy Spirit and at home in God alone, does Christ remain at | peace within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is the only part of |
W2:WIC.4 | as the end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the world and | peace has come to every Son of God, what could remain to keep things |
W2:273.1 | way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to | peace. We need but tell our minds with certainty, “The stillness of |
W2:273.1 | We need but tell our minds with certainty, “The stillness of the | peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that |
W2:273.1 | of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the | peace that God Himself has given to His Son. |
W2:273.2 | Father, Your | peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of |
W2:273.2 | You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the | peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own |
W2:WIHS.4 | let forgiveness rest upon your dreams and be restored to sanity and | peace of mind. Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify |
W2:286.1 | resolved. In You is everything I hope to find already given me. Your | peace is mine. My heart is quiet and my mind at rest. Your Love is |
W2:287.1 | be a substitute for happiness? What gift could I prefer before the | peace of God? What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can |
W2:WIRW.2 | a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at | peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and |
W2:WIRW.3 | that it would judge against? The world it sees arises from a mind at | peace within itself. No danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is |
W2:291.1 | through me today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at | peace and offers this same vision to the world. And I accept this |
W2:295.1 | today and thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may offer | peace of mind to me and take away all terror and all pain. And as |
W2:305.1 | Who uses but Christ's vision finds a | peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless that the |
W2:305.1 | the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this | peace. And all the world departs in silence as this peace envelops it |
W2:305.1 | before this peace. And all the world departs in silence as this | peace envelops it and gently carries it to truth, no more to be the |
W2:305.1 | fear. For Love has come and healed the world by giving it Christ's | peace. |
W2:305.2 | Father, the | peace of Christ is given us because it is Your will that we be saved. |
W2:306.1 | I can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and | peace. Today I am redeemed and born anew into a world of mercy and of |
W2:306.1 | anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the | peace of God. |
W2:307.1 | only You can give, I must accept Your will for me and enter into | peace where conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in being |
W2:310.2 | Who gave salvation to us, and Who set us free. We are restored to | peace and holiness. There is no room in us for fear today, for we |
W2:WILJ.3 | grace is but to fear complete release from suffering, return to | peace, security and happiness, and union with your own Identity. |
W2:WILJ.4 | plan to bless His Son and call him to return to the eternal | peace He shares with him. Be not afraid of love. For it alone can |
W2:311.1 | of all the judgments you have made against yourself and re-establish | peace of mind by giving you God's Judgment of His Son. |
W2:314.1 | suffer when the present has been freed, extending its security and | peace into a quiet future filled with hope? |
W2:320.1 | The Son of God is limitless. There are no limits on his strength, his | peace, his joy, or any attributes his Father gave in his creation. |
W2:323.2 | no longer. Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at | peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains. |
W2:328.2 | have me be. It is Your will that I be wholly safe, eternally at | peace. And happily I share that will which You, my Father, gave as |
W2:WIE.3 | hatred and attack when all there is surrounding him is everlasting | peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed in deepest silence and |
W2:WIE.5 | into light, the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And | peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as |
W2:331.1 | and has no will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and | peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, Eternal Truth. There is no |
W2:331.2 | upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today that we may find the | peace of God. Amen. |
W2:334.1 | accept such meager gifts again today. God's Voice is offering the | peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. This is my |
W2:334.2 | mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him | peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your Will for |
W2:336.1 | to find what it has vainly sought without. For here and only here is | peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling-place of God Himself. |
W2:337.1 | My sinlessness ensures me perfect | peace, eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all |
W2:343.2 | The mercy and the | peace of God are free. Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must |
W2:345.2 | | Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has come to offer |
W2:346.1 | You and know no laws except Your law of Love. And I would find the | peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the foolish toys |
W2:346.2 | And when the evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the | peace of God. For we will learn today what peace is ours when we |
W2:346.2 | remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today what | peace is ours when we forget all things except God's Love. |
W2:348.1 | is everlasting Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect | peace and joy I share with You. What need have I for anger or for |
W2:WAI.4 | have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our | peace and consummate our joy. |
W2:352.1 | in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your | peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You |
W2:352.1 | Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your | peace today. For I would love my own Identity and find in Him the |
W2:355.1 | touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an instant more to be at | peace forever. It is You I choose and my Identity along with You. |
W2:359.1 | for we would be redeemed. Help us forgive, for we would be at | peace. |
W2:360.1 | Father, it is Your | peace that I would give, receiving it of You. I am Your Son, forever |
W2:360.1 | silence and in certainty, for nowhere else can certainty be found. | Peace be to me and peace to all the world. In holiness were we |
W2:360.1 | for nowhere else can certainty be found. Peace be to me and | peace to all the world. In holiness were we created, and in holiness |
W2:FL.2 | His is the only way to find the | peace that God has given us. It is His way that everyone must travel |
W2:FL.4 | the memory of God and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His | peace. And shall we not forgive our brother who can offer this to us? |
W2:E.5 | walk with Him from this time on and turn to Him for guidance and for | peace and right direction. Joy attends our way. For we go homeward to |
W2:E.6 | We trust our ways to Him and say “Amen.” In | peace we will continue in His way and trust all things to Him. In |
M:4.8 | a quiet time in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable | peace. Now he consolidates his learning. Now he begins to see the |
M:4.10 | consistency of thought, and full transfer. This is the stage of real | peace, for here is Heaven's state fully reflected. From here the way |
M:4.10 | is open and easy. In fact, it is here. Who would “go” anywhere if | peace of mind is already complete? And who would seek to change |
M:4.12 | The | peace of mind which the advanced teachers of God experience is |
M:4.14 | guilt upon a brother and therefore on one's self. It is the end of | peace and the denial of learning. It demonstrates the absence of |
M:4.17 | danger that comes when defenses are laid down. It is safety. It is | peace. It is joy. And it is God. |
M:4.23 | Christ's image be projected on him. Only the open-minded can be at | peace, for they alone see reason for it. |
M:8.1 | What the body's eyes behold is only conflict. Look not to them for | peace and understanding. |
M:10.6 | have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step will bring you | peace. Can it be difficult to want but this? |
M:11.1 | This is a question everyone must ask. Certainly | peace seems to be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other |
M:11.1 | things that seem impossible, as well as this. His Word has promised | peace. It has also promised that there is no death, that resurrection |
M:11.1 | assures us that He loves the world. God's Word has promised us that | peace is possible here, and what He promises can hardly be |
M:11.3 | substitution is the ununderstandable made understandable. How is | peace possible in this world? In your judgment it is not possible and |
M:11.3 | possible. But in the Judgment of God, what is reflected here is only | peace. |
M:11.4 | | Peace is impossible to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to |
M:11.4 | Peace is impossible to those who look on war. | Peace is inevitable to those who offer peace. How easily, then, is |
M:11.4 | to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who offer | peace. How easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped! It is |
M:11.4 | your judgment of the world escaped! It is not the world that makes | peace seem impossible. It is the world you see that is impossible. |
M:11.4 | on this distorted world redeemed it and made it fit to welcome | peace. And peace descends on it in joyous answer. Peace now belongs |
M:11.4 | distorted world redeemed it and made it fit to welcome peace. And | peace descends on it in joyous answer. Peace now belongs here, |
M:11.4 | it fit to welcome peace. And peace descends on it in joyous answer. | Peace now belongs here, because a thought of God has entered. What |
M:11.4 | it up again. Now is the question different. It is no longer, “Can | peace be possible in this world?” but instead, “Is it not impossible |
M:11.4 | be possible in this world?” but instead, “Is it not impossible that | peace be absent here?” |
M:13.4 | To them he sacrifices all his freedom. To them he sacrifices all his | peace. And to possess them must he sacrifice his hope of Heaven and |
M:14.5 | has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world will end in | peace because it is a place of war. When peace has come, what is the |
M:14.5 | gone. The world will end in peace because it is a place of war. When | peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? The world will end |
M:15.2 | Holy are you, eternal, free, and whole, at | peace forever in the Heart of God. Where is the world and where is |
M:16.6 | throughout the day. It is a thought of pure joy, a thought of | peace, a thought of limitless release—limitless because all things |
M:19.5 | Vision is now restored. What had been lost has now been found. The | peace of God descends on all the world and we can see. And we can see! |
M:20.1 | It has been said that there is a kind of | peace that is not of this world. How is it recognized? How is it |
M:20.2 | First, how can the | peace of God be recognized? God's peace is recognized at first by |
M:20.2 | First, how can the peace of God be recognized? God's | peace is recognized at first by just one thing—in every way it is |
M:20.3 | No one can fail to find it who but seeks out its conditions. God's | peace can never come where anger is, for anger must deny that peace |
M:20.3 | God's peace can never come where anger is, for anger must deny that | peace exists. Who sees anger as justified in any way or any |
M:20.3 | anger as justified in any way or any circumstance proclaims that | peace is meaningless and must believe that it cannot exist. In this |
M:20.3 | meaningless and must believe that it cannot exist. In this condition | peace cannot be found. Therefore forgiveness is the necessary |
M:20.3 | Therefore forgiveness is the necessary condition for finding the | peace of God. More than this, given forgiveness there must be peace. |
M:20.3 | the peace of God. More than this, given forgiveness there must be | peace. For what except attack will lead to war? And what but peace is |
M:20.3 | must be peace. For what except attack will lead to war? And what but | peace is opposite to war? Here the initial contrast stands out clear |
M:20.3 | Here the initial contrast stands out clear and apparent. Yet when | peace is found, the war is meaningless. And it is conflict now that |
M:20.4 | How is the | peace of God retained once it is found? Returning anger, in whatever |
M:20.4 | form, will drop the heavy curtain once again, and the belief that | peace cannot exist will certainly return. War is again accepted as |
M:20.4 | moment now and think of this: is conflict what you want, or is God's | peace the better choice? Which gives you more? A tranquil mind is not |
M:20.6 | What is the | peace of God? No more than this—the simple understanding that His |
M:20.6 | and all the thoughts of which you can conceive belong to you. God's | peace is the condition for His Will. Attain His peace, and you |
M:20.6 | belong to you. God's peace is the condition for His Will. Attain His | peace, and you remember Him. |
M:27.2 | reigns and opposites make endless war. Where there is death is | peace impossible. |
M:28.3 | wholly corrected and all mistakes undone. Attack is meaningless, and | peace has come. The goal of the curriculum has been achieved. |

T1:10.1 | that it is what you are supposed to be feeling. There is a core of | peace at the center of your Self now and the issues that you choose |
T1:10.1 | the issues that you choose to deal with will not affect that core of | peace at all. While you may find this almost disturbing, you will not |
T1:10.1 | this almost disturbing, you will not go to extremes to break this | peace. |
T1:10.2 | My | peace is yours. You have asked for it and it has been given to you. |
T1:10.2 | alive. Whether it be joy or sorrow, it will seem real in a way that | peace does not. It will seem so human that a wave of desire to be |
T1:10.3 | you will be tempted not to give up. If you can't be moved from your | peace by the greatest of these experiences, the most profound sorrow |
T1:10.4 | the human experience. This is what you continue to choose over the | Peace of God. This is not a right or wrong choice but it is a choice. |
T1:10.5 | the human experience. Now are you willing to use it to choose the | Peace of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you |
T1:10.5 | it to choose the Peace of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose | peace? Can you choose peace long enough to become accustomed to joy |
T1:10.5 | of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you choose | peace long enough to become accustomed to joy without sorrow? If you |
T1:10.6 | a lifetime. You can continue to experience life and still carry the | Peace of God within you. As you live in peace you can be an example |
T1:10.6 | life and still carry the Peace of God within you. As you live in | peace you can be an example to your brothers and sisters, an example |
T1:10.7 | up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to give up all that would take | peace from you. But as you have been told before, you will be giving |
T1:10.7 | not partake and you cannot partake if you are going to carry the | Peace of God within you. |
T1:10.8 | have been made to God not seeing suffering. God exists with you in | peace. When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no |
T1:10.8 | not seeing suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you feel | peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is |

T1:10.8 | When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other | peace. There is no other God. Whether you believe it now or not, I |
T1:10.8 | God. Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the | Peace of God is all the joy of what you have known as the human |
T1:10.10 | events that hold such sway over you that you would choose not the | Peace of God. But look past what you have remembered to what was |
T1:10.10 | was truly there. No moment of true learning ever arrived without the | Peace of God for without the Peace of God no true learning is |
T1:10.10 | true learning ever arrived without the Peace of God for without the | Peace of God no true learning is possible. |
T1:10.11 | you can look forward to rather than back upon if you but choose the | Peace of God. |
T1:10.12 | further lessons are needed? What quiet knowing cannot come to you in | peace? Why would you believe you can learn from the turmoil of |
T1:10.12 | you can learn from the turmoil of extremes what you cannot learn in | peace eternal? |
T1:10.13 | let the memory of the truth return to you now and you will see that | peace is all you have sought learning to attain. If you do not pause |
T1:10.13 | do not pause now and accept that it is here, you will not know the | Peace of God that is your own Self. |
T1:10.14 | | Peace, in whatever way you find it, in whatever expression it takes, |
T1:10.14 | use to describe it, is your answer to God and God's answer to you. | Peace is the inheritance I left you. Peace of body, mind and heart. |

T1:10.14 | of heaven, the abode of Christ. Peace has come to you and you to | Peace. |
T1:10.15 | Now your final instruction is here. You who have found | peace—live in peace. You have been given the Peace of God—go in |
T1:10.15 | your final instruction is here. You who have found peace—live in | peace. You have been given the Peace of God—go in Peace. Spread |

T1:10.15 | of God—go in Peace. Spread peace throughout the land. Go out in | peace and love and service to all. For in this going out you come |
T1:10.15 | and bring with you all the brothers and sisters you have brought to | peace. Go in peace to love and serve with all your heart. Thus are we |
T1:10.15 | you all the brothers and sisters you have brought to peace. Go in | peace to love and serve with all your heart. Thus are we one heart, |
T1:10.15 | one mind, one unity. Thus are we one in a relationship of love and | peace that is our eternal home. Welcome home my brothers and sisters |
T2:1.5 | you would soon return to your old ideas of heaven and see | peace as a state of being for those too weary to fully live. Done |
T2:1.6 | truly learned, is a state of being in which struggle has ceased and | peace has triumphed over chaos, love has triumphed over fear. |
T2:1.7 | You may still see but two choices: | peace or struggle. But with such an attitude, you would soon be |
T2:1.7 | with such an attitude, you would soon be struggling to maintain your | peace. There is another choice, and it lies within. |
T2:1.8 | may have come to be viewed as a place at which you can arrive. Like | peace, it may feel like a bubble of protection, something that sets |
T2:3.4 | your learning is capable of bringing to your life. You have felt the | peace and love of the embrace. You know that you are experiencing |
T2:4.9 | two sets of thoughts and feelings exist, the only way to come to | peace with them is through an acceptance of ambiguity. While an |
T2:4.12 | You who have so recently felt the | peace of true acceptance are not asked to leave that peace to go in |
T2:4.12 | felt the peace of true acceptance are not asked to leave that | peace to go in search of calling but are rather asked to listen from |
T2:4.12 | in search of calling but are rather asked to listen from within that | peace to what you feel called to do. This is not about the past and |
T2:7.8 | Is it not clear how important it is to living in | peace that this pattern be broken? Will you live in peace only until |
T2:7.8 | is to living in peace that this pattern be broken? Will you live in | peace only until some “other” breaks your peace? Only until some |

T3:11.3 | These words, truth and | peace and love, are interchangeable in the House of Truth as their |
T3:11.6 | I was aware of the truth and lived by the truth. I was aware of the | Peace of God and lived within the Peace of God. I was aware of the |

T3:15.18 | hardly empty-handed. The truth goes with you as does the love and | peace of God. |

T3:20.14 | your peace, you must remind yourself that it is only from within the | Peace of God that your wholeheartedness and our unity is accomplished. |

Tx:1.46 | man because he is lovable. They dispel illusions about him and | perceive the light in him. They thus atone for his errors by freeing |
Tx:1.56 | man, it can also separate the true from the false by Its ability to | perceive totally rather than selectively. It thus becomes the proper |
Tx:1.58 | which only error can proceed. Truth is always abundant. Those who | perceive and acknowledge that they have everything have no need for |
Tx:1.62 | crucial. Since stimuli are identified through perception, you first | perceive the stimulus and then behave accordingly. It follows, then, |
Tx:1.64 | for appropriate behavior. You cannot behave appropriately unless you | perceive accurately, because appropriate behavior depends on lack |
Tx:1.64 | you and your neighbor are equal members of the same family, as you | perceive both, so you will behave toward both. The way to perceive |
Tx:1.64 | as you perceive both, so you will behave toward both. The way to | perceive for Golden Rule behavior is to look out from the perception |
Tx:1.64 | is to look out from the perception of your own holiness and | perceive the holiness of others. |
Tx:1.107 | Man can do this only because he is creative. But, although he can | perceive false associations, he can never make them real except to |
Tx:2.51 | His Souls, and they are lonely without Him. Men must learn to | perceive the world as a means of healing the separation. The |
Tx:2.69 | is a way of perceiving the perfection of another even if he cannot | perceive it himself. |
Tx:3.23 | all. The body is not capable of understanding, and only the mind can | perceive anything. A pure mind knows the truth, and this is its |
Tx:3.29 | If you are willing to validate what is true in everything you | perceive, you will make it true for you. Truth overcomes all |
Tx:3.29 | true for you. Truth overcomes all error. This means that if you | perceive truly, you are canceling out misperceptions in yourself |
Tx:3.32 | transitory states, and this necessarily implies variability. How you | perceive at any given time determines what you do, and action |
Tx:3.35 | from the altar within and is timeless because it is certain. To | perceive the truth is not the same as knowing it. |
Tx:3.38 | being uncertain. He is also incapable of knowledge, because he can | perceive lovelessly. He cannot create surely, because his perception |
Tx:3.39 | is thus the level of perception but not of knowledge. Again, to | perceive is not to know. |
Tx:3.40 | as the domain of the ego. The ego is a man-made attempt to | perceive himself as he wished to be rather than as he is. This is |
Tx:3.44 | it has will-power. When it willed the separation, it willed to | perceive. Until then, it willed only to know. Afterwards it willed |
Tx:3.45 | when it willed to create both its own levels and the ability to | perceive, but it could not entirely separate itself from the Soul |
Tx:3.46 | The ability to | perceive made the body possible because you must perceive something |
Tx:3.46 | The ability to perceive made the body possible because you must | perceive something and with something. This is why perception |
Tx:3.51 | of his real strengths and that the intrusion of the ability to | perceive, which is inherently judgmental, was introduced only after |
Tx:3.54 | Man cannot | perceive himself correctly. He has no image. The word “image” is |
Tx:3.56 | may be able to recognize something we already have. In electing to | perceive instead of to know, man placed himself in a position where |
Tx:3.60 | lasts, prayer has a place. Since perception rests on lack, those who | perceive have not totally accepted the Atonement and given themselves |
Tx:3.60 | Your worth is beyond perception because it is beyond doubt. Do not | perceive yourself in different lights. Know yourself in the One |
Tx:3.77 | not known. Knowledge cannot deceive, but perception can. Man can | perceive himself as self-creating, but he cannot do more than |
Tx:3.77 | He cannot make it true. And, as we said before, when you finally | perceive correctly, you can only be glad that you cannot. But until |
Tx:4.7 | of it as a change towards healing the separation. They always | perceive it as a change towards further separation because the |
Tx:4.8 | They are fundamentally irreconcilable because the Soul cannot | perceive and the ego cannot know. They are therefore not in |
Tx:4.12 | can clash in any situation, but Souls cannot clash at all. If you | perceive a teacher as merely a “larger ego,” you will be afraid |
Tx:4.26 | you never had it. This willfulness is so apparent that one need only | perceive it to see that it does happen. If it can occur that way in |
Tx:4.31 | principle” of the ego is not real at all. The ego is forced to | perceive the “reality” of other egos because it cannot establish the |
Tx:4.34 | it at all. While the ego is equally unaware of the Soul, it does | perceive itself as rejected by “something” which is greater than |
Tx:4.83 | threat, and if you associate yourself with the ego, you do not | perceive the whole situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it |
Tx:4.95 | when it experiences threat. While this is always so, individual egos | perceive different kinds of threat which are quite specific in their |
Tx:4.105 | of the clinicians lie in their attitudes to those whom their egos | perceive as weakened and damaged. By these evaluations, they have |
Tx:5.5 | Healing is an act of thought by which two minds | perceive their oneness and become glad. This gladness calls to every |
Tx:5.41 | separation, just as the Holy Spirit is the symbol of peace. What you | perceive in others, you are strengthening in yourself. You let your |
Tx:5.42 | as a teaching device for bringing you home. The Holy Spirit must | perceive time and reinterpret it into the timeless. The mind must be |
Tx:5.46 | Spirit will not fail to help you reinterpret everything that you | perceive as fearful and teach you that only what is loving is |
Tx:5.61 | It follows, then, that if you identify with the ego, you must | perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to your ego, you |
Tx:5.64 | The ego does not | perceive sin as a lack of love. It perceives sin as a positive act |
Tx:6.4 | has been misunderstood. This is only because the fearful are apt to | perceive fearfully. |
Tx:6.7 | crucifixion was intended to teach was that it is not necessary to | perceive any form of assault in persecution, because you cannot |
Tx:6.8 | can be demonstrated only through joint decision. You are free to | perceive yourselves as persecuted if you choose. You might remember, |
Tx:6.14 | constructively, however, you must still follow my example in how to | perceive them. |
Tx:6.16 | need your blessing to help them hear this for themselves. When you | perceive only this need in them and do not respond to any other, |
Tx:6.29 | Atonement is the one need which in this world is universal. To | perceive yourself this way is the only way in which you can find |
Tx:6.32 | neither partially nor in part. The Holy Spirit enables you to | perceive this wholeness now. You can no more pray for yourselves |
Tx:6.33 | as it is of yours. Because your minds are split, you can also | perceive as well as think. Yet perception cannot escape from the |
Tx:6.33 | think. Yet perception cannot escape from the basic laws of mind. You | perceive from your mind and extend your perceptions outward. |
Tx:6.34 | it has never left Him. If it has never left Him, you need only | perceive it as it is to be returned. The full awareness of the |
Tx:6.36 | This is the way in which you must | perceive God's creations, bringing all of your perceptions into the |
Tx:6.38 | perfect impartiality, and only by perceiving Him impartially can you | perceive Him at all. The ego is legion, but the Holy Spirit is One. |
Tx:6.70 | because they believe in attack and rejection, so this is what they | perceive and teach and learn. These insane concepts are clearly the |
Tx:6.71 | system, you are weakening it. Those who believe in it therefore | perceive this as an attack on them. This is because everyone |
Tx:6.73 | the mind of the learner projects its own split, and thus does not | perceive consistent minds in others, making him suspicious of their |
Tx:6.84 | He is judgmental, but only in order to unify the mind so it can | perceive without judgment. This enables the mind to teach without |
Tx:7.8 | by increase, because it was forever created to increase. If you | perceive it as not increasing, you do not know what it is. You |
Tx:7.11 | freedom if man had not chosen to fight for them. That is why they | perceive “the freedoms” as many instead of as one. Yet the argument |
Tx:7.26 | it belongs there, as you do. How can you, who are God's meaning, | perceive yourselves as absent from it? You can see yourselves as |
Tx:7.28 | God's equal Sons have everything, they cannot compete. Yet if they | perceive any of their brothers as anything other than their perfect |
Tx:7.31 | asleep in the minds of the sick, but the part of the mind that can | perceive it and be glad is. |
Tx:7.45 | is therefore a concept which only a conflicted mind could possibly | perceive as meaningful. Fear does not gladden. Healing does. Fear |
Tx:7.48 | realizing that he could not have changed his mind. That is how you | perceive the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him |
Tx:7.48 | changes His Mind. He himself must think he can, or he would not | perceive himself as sick. He therefore does not know what his self |
Tx:7.52 | it encompasses all things within itself. Blessed are you who | perceive only this, because you perceive only what is true. Come |
Tx:7.52 | within itself. Blessed are you who perceive only this, because you | perceive only what is true. Come therefore unto me and learn of the |
Tx:7.55 | what love is. If it does not understand what love is, it cannot | perceive itself as loving. This loses the awareness of being, induces |
Tx:7.57 | completely insane dilemma in a completely insane way. It does not | perceive its existence as threatened by projecting the threat onto |
Tx:7.60 | undoes illusions without attacking them merely because He cannot | perceive them at all. They therefore do not exist for Him. He |
Tx:7.65 | Voice in you and will therefore obscure God to you. Unless you | perceive His creation truly, you cannot know the Creator, since God |
Tx:7.66 | there is nothing to attack. Therefore, they make up images, | perceive them as unworthy, and attack them for their unworthiness. |
Tx:7.77 | theirs. Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you will | perceive yourself as lacking. |
Tx:7.81 | | Perceive any part of the ego's thought system as wholly insane, |
Tx:7.81 | have correctly evaluated all of it. This correction enables you to | perceive any part of creation as wholly real, wholly perfect, and |
Tx:7.89 | The Holy Spirit will teach you to | perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond belief, and His |
Tx:7.93 | only function. It therefore blocks your joy, and that is why you | perceive yourselves as unfulfilled. Unless you create, you are |
Tx:7.94 | Kingdom from yourself, and you are not whole. A split mind cannot | perceive its fullness and needs the miracle of its wholeness to dawn |
Tx:7.111 | you have acknowledged what He has given you. Nothing is as easy to | perceive as truth. This is the perception which is immediate, clear, |
Tx:8.4 | Those whom you | perceive as opponents are part of your peace, which you are |
Tx:8.35 | the delusion. Judging truth as something they do not want, they | perceive deception and block knowledge. |
Tx:8.54 | the body. The Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not | perceive your brothers as the Holy Spirit does, because you do not |
Tx:8.73 | It is hard to | perceive sickness as a false witness, because you do not realize |
Tx:8.93 | meant that He has the power to look into what you have hidden and | perceive the Will of God there. His perception of this will can |
Tx:9.3 | you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy Spirit does not | perceive his errors. This must be true if there is no communication |
Tx:9.4 | your ego and making as little sense as the brother whose errors you | perceive. This cannot be correction. Yet it is more than merely lack |
Tx:9.5 | you can heal him only by perceiving the sanity in him. If you | perceive his errors and accept them, you are accepting yours. If |
Tx:9.6 | change this and can have no effect at all on the truth in you. To | perceive errors in anyone and to react to them as if they were real |
Tx:9.9 | as true only what your brother is if you would know yourself. | Perceive what he is not, and you cannot know what you are, |
Tx:9.31 | Him with your eyes nor hear Him with your ears. How, then, can you | perceive Him at all? If you inspire joy, and others react to you |
Tx:9.59 | and eternity are both in your mind and will conflict until you | perceive time solely as a means to regain eternity. You cannot do |
Tx:9.60 | that happens to you. Every response you make to everything you | perceive is up to you, because your will determines your perception |
Tx:9.78 | its maker thinks he is. And that is exactly what the ego does | perceive in a Son of God; a sick god, self-created, self-sufficient, |
Tx:9.84 | is equally clear that it has everything to do with reality as you | perceive it. |
Tx:9.87 | The Sonship cannot be perceived as partly sick, because to | perceive it that way is not to perceive it at all. If the Sonship is |
Tx:9.87 | as partly sick, because to perceive it that way is not to | perceive it at all. If the Sonship is one, it is one in all |
Tx:9.87 | it is one in all respects. Oneness cannot be divided. If you | perceive other gods, your mind is split, and you will not be able to |
Tx:9.87 | merely a matter of definition. By defining the mind wrongly, you | perceive it as functioning wrongly. |
Tx:9.104 | If God knows His Children as wholly sinless, it is blasphemous to | perceive them as guilty. If God knows His Children as wholly without |
Tx:9.104 | God knows His Children as wholly without pain, it is blasphemous to | perceive suffering anywhere. If God knows His Children to be wholly |
Tx:9.105 | Do not | perceive anything God did not create, or you are denying Him. His |
Tx:9.105 | your real creations, because you believe that the sick images you | perceive are the Sons of God. |
Tx:10.17 | you are God's Son. In every hurtful thought you hold, wherever you | perceive it, lies the denial of God's Fatherhood and your Sonship. |
Tx:10.56 | deluded. Can the ego teach truly when it overlooks truth? Can it | perceive what it has denied? Its witnesses do attest to its |
Tx:10.58 | becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you | perceive in him. Everyone convinces you of what you want to |
Tx:10.58 | you perceive in him. Everyone convinces you of what you want to | perceive and of the reality of the kingdom you have chosen for your |
Tx:10.58 | of the kingdom you have chosen for your vigilance. Everything you | perceive is a witness to the thought system you want to be true. |
Tx:10.60 | Yet you cannot be aware without interpretation, and what you | perceive is your interpretation. This course is perfectly clear. |
Tx:10.60 | not believe it. And if belief determines perception, you do not | perceive what it means and therefore do not accept it. |
Tx:10.61 | less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for to | perceive with Him involves no strain at all. His perceptions are |
Tx:10.62 | everyone lives in you, as you live in everyone. Can you, then, | perceive unworthiness in a brother and not perceive it in yourself? |
Tx:10.62 | Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a brother and not | perceive it in yourself? And can you perceive it in yourself and |
Tx:10.62 | in a brother and not perceive it in yourself? And can you | perceive it in yourself and not perceive it in God? Believe in the |
Tx:10.62 | it in yourself? And can you perceive it in yourself and not | perceive it in God? Believe in the resurrection because it has been |
Tx:10.62 | and no exceptions. But make no exceptions yourself, or you will not | perceive what has been accomplished for you. For we ascend unto the |
Tx:10.66 | on your eyes, but what you see in dreams is not reality. While you | perceive the Son of God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as |
Tx:10.67 | awake. Yet you must see the works I do through you, or you will not | perceive that I have done them unto you. Do not set limits on what |
Tx:10.69 | The world as you | perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for the world is |
Tx:10.69 | cannot be literally true, for the eternal are not re-created. To | perceive anew is merely to perceive again, implying that before, |
Tx:10.69 | the eternal are not re-created. To perceive anew is merely to | perceive again, implying that before, or in the interval, you were |
Tx:10.70 | actually be perceived. All that is necessary is a willingness to | perceive nothing else. For if you perceive both good and evil, |
Tx:10.70 | is necessary is a willingness to perceive nothing else. For if you | perceive both good and evil, you are accepting both the false and |
Tx:10.72 | but the denial of the opposite of goodness enables you to | perceive a condition in which opposites do not exist. And this is |
Tx:10.72 | yourselves and your Creator, and these beliefs are the world as you | perceive it. Truth is not absent here, but it is obscure. You do |
Tx:10.73 | To believe that you can | perceive the real world is to believe that you can know yourself. You |
Tx:10.73 | the Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you have made, and to | perceive only this is salvation because it is the recognition that |
Tx:10.75 | Little children recognize that they do not understand what they | perceive, and so they ask what it means. Do not make the mistake of |
Tx:10.75 | Do not make the mistake of believing that you understand what you | perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the Holy Spirit has |
Tx:10.76 | You do not know the meaning of anything you | perceive. Not one thought you hold is wholly true. The recognition |
Tx:10.81 | to ask because you believe that asking is taking, and you do not | perceive it as sharing. The Holy Spirit will give you only what is |
Tx:10.85 | learn of the reality of your brother because this is what you will | perceive in him, and you will see your beauty reflected in him. |
Tx:10.86 | is yours. To love yourself is to heal yourself, and you cannot | perceive part of you as sick and achieve your own goal. Brother, we |
Tx:10.87 | If you | perceive offense in a brother, pluck the offense from your mind, for |
Tx:10.87 | not offended by Him, for there is no offense in Him. If what you | perceive offends you, you are offended in yourself and are |
Tx:10.87 | Holy Spirit remove all offense of God's Son against himself and | perceive no one but through His guidance, for He would save you from |
Tx:10.88 | Children | perceive terrifying ghosts and monsters and dragons, and they are |
Tx:10.88 | if they ask someone they trust for the real meaning of what they | perceive and are willing to let their interpretations go in favor |
Tx:10.89 | lack of understanding which frightens them, and when they learn to | perceive truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they will |
Tx:10.89 | which frightens you. You do not know what they are, and so you | perceive them as ghosts and monsters and dragons. Ask of their |
Tx:10.90 | you that, as part of God, deceit in you is impossible. When you | perceive yourself without deceit, you will accept the real world in |
Tx:11.2 | attempt to demonstrate your own ability to understand what you | perceive. This is shown by the fact that you react to your |
Tx:11.4 | it unreal. You would not do this except for your unwillingness to | perceive reality, which you withhold from yourself. |
Tx:11.5 | to him has become what he wants it to be. If you are unwilling to | perceive an appeal for help as what it is, it is because you are |
Tx:11.6 | his appeal can you be helped. Deny him your help, and you will not | perceive God's answer to you. The Holy Spirit does not need your |
Tx:11.6 | for both are capable of bringing love into your awareness if you | perceive them truly. And all your sense of strain comes from your |
Tx:11.8 | of yours. By giving help you are asking for it, and if you | perceive but one need in yourself, you will be healed. For you will |
Tx:11.10 | reinterpret it. That is the ultimate value to you in learning to | perceive attack as a call for love. We have learned surely that fear |
Tx:11.11 | Fear is a symptom of your deep sense of loss. If when you | perceive it in others you learn to supply the loss, the basic |
Tx:11.15 | cannot be remembered alone. This is what you have forgotten. To | perceive the healing of your brother as the healing of yourself is |
Tx:11.16 | | Perceive in sickness but another call for love and offer your brother |
Tx:11.16 | but one remedy. You will be made whole as you make whole, for to | perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred |
Tx:11.23 | Do you not have greater reason for fearing the world as you | perceive it than for looking at the cause of fear and letting it go |
Tx:11.29 | realize this. Even if he is fully aware of anxiety, he does not | perceive its source as his own ego identification, and he always |
Tx:11.30 | the mind projects the split, not the reality. Everything you | perceive as the outside world is merely your attempt to maintain your |
Tx:11.31 | You are at odds with the world as you | perceive it because you think it is antagonistic to you. This is |
Tx:11.31 | antagonistic to what is inward, and therefore you would have to | perceive it this way. That is why you must realize that your hatred |
Tx:11.31 | can get rid of it and why you must get rid of it before you can | perceive the world as it really is. |
Tx:11.32 | His only-begotten Son. God does love the real world, and those who | perceive its reality cannot see the world of death. For death is |
Tx:11.32 | yourselves from the Mind of God, you would die, and the world you | perceive is a world of separation. |
Tx:11.34 | of decision. If you will recognize that all attack which you | perceive is in your own mind and nowhere else, you will at last |
Tx:11.45 | yourself had no effects. For others do react to attack if they | perceive it, and if you are trying to attack them, you will be |
Tx:11.53 | your Soul, but you can sell your awareness of it. You cannot | perceive your Soul, but you will not know it while you perceive |
Tx:11.53 | You cannot perceive your Soul, but you will not know it while you | perceive anything else as more valuable. |
Tx:11.59 | ability to make this transfer is the product of learning.] As you | perceive more and more common elements in all situations, the |
Tx:11.68 | enables it to believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you | perceive the world as split, you are not healed. For to be healed |
Tx:11.69 | will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you | perceive is merely the reflection of your conflicting invitations. |
Tx:11.95 | As you | perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you will realize |
Tx:12.3 | does not know who the Son of God is because it is blind. Yet let it | perceive guiltlessness anywhere, and it will try to destroy it |
Tx:12.29 | exact opposite of the ego's. The reason is equally clear, for they | perceive the goal of time as diametrically opposed. |
Tx:12.45 | To | perceive truly is to be aware of all reality through the awareness |
Tx:12.45 | all reality leaves no room for any error. This means that you | perceive a brother only as you see him now. His past has no |
Tx:12.45 | questioning of illusions, ask yourself if it is really sane to | perceive what was now. If you remember the past as you look upon |
Tx:12.45 | the past as you look upon your brother, you will be unable to | perceive the reality that is now. |
Tx:12.49 | The miracle enables you to see your brother without his past and so | perceive him as born again. His errors are all past, and by |
Tx:13.22 | in which you seek to lay your guilt upon him or share it with him or | perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor will you find |
Tx:13.22 | and cannot understand what loving is. Their main concern is to | perceive the source of guilt outside themselves, beyond their own |
Tx:13.49 | is needed in a world made of denial and without direction. You will | perceive the need for this if you will realize that to deny is the |
Tx:13.85 | Then let Him teach you quietly how to | perceive your guiltlessness, which is already there. |
Tx:14.14 | is the symbol of the release from guilt by guiltlessness. Whom you | perceive as guilty, you would crucify. Yet you restore |
Tx:14.16 | is fearful. It is only in darkness and in ignorance that you | perceive the frightening, and you shrink away from it to further |
Tx:15.18 | egos in an attempt to support it and uphold its weakness, do not | perceive the Source of strength. In the holy instant, you will |
Tx:15.28 | and the glory that lie in you from God are for all who, like you, | perceive themselves as little and have deceived themselves into |
Tx:15.52 | instant, you see in each relationship what it will be when you | perceive only the present. |
Tx:15.58 | If you seek for satisfaction in gratifying your needs as you | perceive them, you must believe that strength comes from another, and |
Tx:15.58 | and what you gain he loses. Someone must always lose if you | perceive yourself as weak. Yet there is another interpretation of |
Tx:15.62 | Spirit gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no need that you | perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy instant, you will |
Tx:15.69 | you will become willing to find out if you are willing, first, to | perceive what you have made of them. |
Tx:15.82 | of God, is far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies you | perceive. For all its parts are joined in God through Christ, where |
Tx:15.97 | to those who think they are its host. The ego will never let you | perceive this, since this recognition would make it homeless. For |
Tx:15.104 | fear and tried to cast it out though it was part of you. Who can | perceive part of himself as loathsome and live within himself in |
Tx:15.105 | As long as you | perceive the body as your reality, so long will you perceive yourself |
Tx:15.105 | As long as you perceive the body as your reality, so long will you | perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long will you also |
Tx:15.105 | perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long will you also | perceive yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified in sacrificing |
Tx:15.108 | you offer me the love I offer you. What can be more joyous than to | perceive we are deprived of nothing? Such is the message of the |
Tx:16.10 | do you do them. It is their extension, far beyond the limits you | perceive, that demonstrates you did not do them. Why should you |
Tx:16.21 | from beyond your thought system and so could look upon it fairly and | perceive it was untrue. And He must have done so from the basis of a |
Tx:16.23 | you have not learned what you have taught show you that you do not | perceive the Sonship as one? And does it not also show you that you |
Tx:16.35 | fail. If you seek love outside yourself, you can be certain that you | perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never |
Tx:16.48 | worlds has merely led to fantasies of both and to the inability to | perceive either one as it is. The special relationship is the triumph |
Tx:16.78 | of their illusions by forgiving them for the illusions which you | perceive in them. Thus will you learn that you have been forgiven, |
Tx:17.50 | what you do not understand, and let it be explained to you as you | perceive its purpose work in it to make it holy. You will find many |
Tx:17.60 | in advance what you want to happen is simply that you will | perceive the situation as a means to make it happen. You will |
Tx:17.62 | believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation and does not | perceive the situation as a whole. Therefore, it seeks to split off |
Tx:18.1 | If you would but consider exactly what this entails, you would | perceive at once how much at variance this is with the goal the Holy |
Tx:18.4 | divided again, over and over, that it is now almost impossible to | perceive it once was one and still is what it was. That one error, |
Tx:18.87 | for it is not the body that could speak of this. Its eyes | perceive it not; its senses remain quite unaware of it; its tongue |
Tx:19.8 | Where there is no overlap, there separation must be complete. And to | perceive this is to recognize where separation is and where it must |
Tx:20.72 | turned to blessing under His gentle gaze. What can the body's eyes | perceive, with power to correct? Its eyes adjust to sin, unable |
Tx:21.1 | picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he | perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but will to change |
Tx:21.18 | You must accept its strength and not its weakness. You must | perceive that what is strong enough to make a world can let it go and |
Tx:21.51 | but your choice. And if you place your faith in them, you will | perceive another Self in you. This other Self sees miracles as |
Tx:21.60 | you that you cannot see your brother or yourself as sinful and still | perceive the other innocent. Who looks upon himself as guilty and |
Tx:21.74 | no longer what is not there to find. Yet first he must be willing to | perceive a world where it is not. It is not necessary that he |
Tx:22.9 | given you, along with everything that you can understand. You will | perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you, |
Tx:22.17 | it, see them as different, and define the difference as joy. Yet to | perceive a difference where none exists will surely fail to make a |
Tx:22.35 | see beyond what is not there must be distorted perception and must | perceive illusions as the truth. Could it then recognize the truth? |
Tx:22.61 | is? You do not see that every sin and every condemnation which you | perceive and justify is an attack upon your Father. And that is why |
Tx:23.2 | will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you | perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along |
Tx:23.5 | and alone in his temptation but help him rise above it and | perceive the light of which he is a part. Your innocence will light |
Tx:23.5 | and kept in your awareness. For who can know his glory and | perceive the little and the weak about him? Who can walk trembling in |
Tx:23.36 | believed. Brothers, you do believe them. For how else could you | perceive the form they take with content such as this? Can any form |
Tx:23.45 | can be defended and that attack is justified on its behalf cannot | perceive it lies within them. How could they know? Could they accept |
Tx:24.12 | by searching for and keeping clear in sight all lacks it can | perceive. This does it seek, and this it looks upon. And always whom |
Tx:24.52 | in every way, and every circumstance, in all temptation to | perceive what is not there and all belief God's Son can suffer pain |
Tx:25.12 | Is it not evident that what the body's eyes | perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you think you find a hope of |
Tx:25.12 | you fancy to attain some peace and satisfaction in the world as you | perceive it. Yet it must be evident the outcome does not change. |
Tx:25.23 | To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you | perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which |
Tx:25.23 | you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent will you | perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in strict accord with |
Tx:25.28 | the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He will | perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he can |
Tx:25.37 | the whole desire to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to | perceive the Son of God as other than he is. The need for guilt is |
Tx:25.41 | hell, but not alone. How beautiful his sinlessness will be when you | perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he is free to offer |
Tx:25.42 | the understanding that he is the way to Heaven or to hell as you | perceive him. But forget not this—the role you give to him is given |
Tx:25.58 | is one which he cannot deny nor overlook nor fail completely to | perceive at all. To each his special function is designed to be |
Tx:25.67 | with the idea of punishment that they lay it aside unaided and | perceive it is not true? It is extremely hard for those who still |
Tx:25.68 | belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit and | perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They are unjust indeed to Him.] |
Tx:25.68 | have never sinned. Their world depends on sin's stability. And they | perceive the “threat” of what God knows as justice to be more |
Tx:25.75 | it is impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You need not | perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need you look |
Tx:25.77 | justice with a version of its own. For only love is just and can | perceive what justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide and |
Tx:25.79 | For God is fair. He does not fight against His Son's reluctance to | perceive salvation as a gift from Him. Yet would His justice not be |
Tx:25.84 | as less deserving, then is He ally to specialness. What He cannot | perceive He bears no witness to. And everyone is equally entitled to |
Tx:25.86 | so they gather dust and grow until they cover everything that you | perceive and leave you fair to no one. Not one right do you believe |
Tx:26.4 | you. What greater sacrifice could be demanded than that God's Son | perceive himself without his Father? And his Father be without His |
Tx:26.12 | to size, complexity, or place and time, or any attribute which you | perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest. Think not |
Tx:26.26 | stands between to keep them separate and apart. The sinless must | perceive that they are one, for nothing stands between to push the |
Tx:26.33 | guides you through the infinitely small and senseless maze you still | perceive in time, though it has long since gone. You think you live |
Tx:26.70 | Salvation is immediate. Unless you so | perceive it, you will be afraid of it, believing that the risk of |
Tx:26.70 | Do not project this fear to time, for time is not the enemy that you | perceive. Time is as neutral as the body is except in terms of what |
Tx:26.85 | and when you think it is unfair and not to be allowed. When you | perceive it as unfair, you think that a response of anger now is |
Tx:26.86 | What does it mean if you | perceive attack in certain forms to be unfair to you? It means that |
Tx:26.88 | Beware of the temptation to | perceive yourself unfairly treated. In this view, you seek to find an |
Tx:26.89 | must be unfair to make the other innocent. And in this game do you | perceive one purpose for your whole relationship. And this you seek |
Tx:26.90 | not a trace of all the happy sparkle that salvation brought can you | perceive to lighten up your way. And so you see yourself deprived of |
Tx:26.90 | been resolved and been replaced with justice and with love. If you | perceive injustice anywhere, you need but say: |
Tx:27.23 | [In a split mind, identity must seem to be divided. Nor can anyone | perceive a function unified which has conflicting purposes and |
Tx:27.24 | separate, because that is the function given it by you. When you | perceive correction is the same as pardon, then you also know the |
Tx:27.28 | is unified. His single purpose unifies the halves of you which you | perceive as separate. And each forgives the other, that he may accept |
Tx:27.31 | it represents. And thus the picture has no cause at all. Who can | perceive effect without a cause? What can the causeless be but |
Tx:27.48 | face instead. Healing replaces suffering. Who looks on one cannot | perceive the other, for they cannot both be there. And what you see |
Tx:27.49 | Friend who brought them their release. And happily your brother will | perceive the many friends he thought were enemies. |
Tx:27.50 | is that it is not. And thus while he perceives it, he can not | perceive it as it is. But healing is apparent in specific instances |
Tx:27.51 | properly perceived but never violated. Fear you not the way that you | perceive them. You are wrong, but there is One within you Who is |
Tx:27.71 | both. Yet was it started by your secret dream, which you do not | perceive, although it caused the part you see and do not doubt is |
Tx:27.84 | guilt outside yourself but never letting go! It is not easy to | perceive the jest when all around you do your eyes behold its heavy |
Tx:27.85 | In gentle laughter does the Holy Spirit | perceive the cause and looks not to effects. How else could He |
Tx:27.89 | choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently will you | perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive the |
Tx:28.19 | your shreds of memories and dreams. Yet if you are the dreamer, you | perceive this much at least—that you have caused the dream and |
Tx:28.29 | other mind cannot project its guilt without your aid in letting it | perceive itself as separate and apart from you. Thus is the body not |
Tx:28.46 | a loss, and what is not of Him has no effects. What then would you | perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief |
Tx:28.48 | to have. You share no evil dreams if you forgive the dreamer and | perceive that he is not the dream he made. And so he cannot be a part |
Tx:28.50 | a world established that is sick, and this the world the body's eyes | perceive. Here are the sounds it hears—the voices which its ears |
Tx:28.50 | which its ears were made to hear. Yet sights and sounds the body can | perceive are meaningless. It cannot see nor hear. It does not know |
Tx:28.50 | what seeing is, what listening is for. It is as little able to | perceive as it can judge or understand or know. Its eyes are blind; |
Tx:28.51 | a witness to the world you want. Let not the body's ears and eyes | perceive these countless fragments seen within the gap which you |
Tx:28.53 | here. The world you see does not exist because the place where you | perceive it is not real. The gap is carefully concealed in fog, and |
Tx:28.57 | walk apart. This is the secret oath you take again, whenever you | perceive yourself attacked. No one can suffer if he does not see |
Tx:29.1 | eternal patience sometimes fail. All this do you believe, when you | perceive a gap between your brother and yourself. How could you trust |
Tx:29.10 | Why would you not | perceive it as release from suffering to learn that you are free? Why |
Tx:29.18 | in that it is not more than it should be but only in your failure to | perceive that it is nothing. Yet its nothingness is your salvation, |
Tx:29.27 | it can be said attack is a response to function unfulfilled as you | perceive the function. It can be in you or someone else, but where it |
Tx:30.6 | saw it first. This leads to fear because it contradicts what you | perceive, and so you feel attacked. And therefore angry. There are |
Tx:30.68 | as you. For he will be delayed when you look back, and you will not | perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look forward, then, and walk in |
Tx:30.72 | pardon would have none. The real world is achieved when you | perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite real and fully justified. |
Tx:30.85 | are glad to see it everywhere. It cannot change because you would | perceive it everywhere, unchanged by circumstance. And so you offer |
Tx:31.1 | and what is true cannot be false? You can no longer say that you | perceive no differences in false and true. You have been told exactly |
Tx:31.24 | be asking for will be enough to let this happen. And you will | perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you |
Tx:31.36 | place when you have learned the way the lesson starts but do not yet | perceive what it is for? Its purpose is the answer to the search |
Tx:31.47 | that the face which smiles above it must forever look away, lest it | perceive the treachery it hides. The lesson teaches this: “I am the |
Tx:31.51 | are what your brother made of you. For even though you do not yet | perceive that this is what you think, you surely learned by now that |
Tx:31.57 | for what you are. What matters it which concept you accept while you | perceive a self which interacts with evil and reacts to wicked |
Tx:31.57 | of yourself will still remain quite meaningless. And you will not | perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a guilty |
Tx:31.64 | Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit and | perceive the body not. It merely asks that this should be your |
Tx:31.68 | and trust becomes impossible. Nor could it change while you | perceive the “bad” in you. |
Tx:31.69 | your “evil” thoughts as long as you see value in attack. You will | perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. And so |
Tx:31.74 | of what lies beyond. At least, you merely look on darkness and | perceive the terrified imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and |
Tx:31.76 | off unoccupied by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must | perceive the body as yourself, for you are bound to separation from |
Tx:31.89 | Learn then the happy habit of response to all temptation to | perceive yourself as weak and miserable with these words: |
Tx:31.92 | as pain, as weakness and as suffering and loss is but temptation to | perceive yourself defenseless and in hell. Yield not to this, and you |
Tx:31.94 | Let us be glad that we can walk the world and find so many chances to | perceive another situation where God's gift can once again be |
W1:5.10 | each of them, using the name of both the source of the upset as you | perceive it and of the feelings as you experience it. Further |
W1:11.1 | thinking of the world. It seems as if the world determines what you | perceive. Today's idea introduces the concept that your thoughts |
W1:13.1 | exists. However, it does not follow that you will not think you | perceive something that has no meaning. On the contrary, you will be |
W1:13.1 | On the contrary, you will be particularly likely to think you do | perceive it. |
W1:24.2 | If you realized that you do not | perceive your own best interests, you could be taught what they are. |
W1:24.10 | I do not | perceive my own best interests in this situation, |
W1:25.2 | You | perceive the world and everything in it as meaningful in terms of ego |
W1:25.3 | Another way of describing the goals you now | perceive as valuable is to say that they are all concerned with |
W1:33.2 | sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the world you | perceive as outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your |
W1:55.5 | [24] I do not | perceive my own best interests. How could I recognize my own best |
W1:55.5 | find out what my own best interests are, recognizing that I cannot | perceive them by myself. |
W1:57.5 | I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will | perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this |
W1:86.4 | This is no exception in God's plan for my salvation. Let me | perceive this only in the light of God's plan for salvation. |
W1:87.7 | Let me | perceive this in accordance with the Will of God. It is God's Will |
W1:89.5 | By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit's and | perceive them as one. By this idea do I accept my release from hell. |
W1:91.2 | from which the darkness comes. Denial of light leads to failure to | perceive it. Failure to perceive light is to perceive darkness. The |
W1:91.2 | comes. Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it. Failure to | perceive light is to perceive darkness. The light is useless to you |

W1:91.7 | Miracles are seen in light. The body's eyes do not | perceive the light. But I am not a body. What am I? |
W1:92.4 | It brings the light in which your Self appears. In darkness you | perceive a self that is not there. |
W1:92.7 | It separates itself from what it sees, while light and strength | perceive themselves as one. |
W1:93.3 | you. This is enough to prove that they are wrong, but you do not | perceive that this is so. |
W1:96.5 | function here. Yet mind can also see itself divorced from Spirit and | perceive itself within a body it confuses with itself. Without its |
W1:99.9 | work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for today. Try to | perceive the strength in what you say, for these are words in which |
W1:121.4 | What can the unforgiving mind | perceive but its damnation? What can it behold except the proof that |
W1:121.11 | your eyes and see him in your mind and look at him a while. Try to | perceive some light in him somewhere—a little gleam which you had |
W1:121.12 | the light you learned to see around your former “enemy” to him. | Perceive him now as more than friend to you, for in that light his |
W1:126.6 | requiring correction in your mind. It cannot give you peace as you | perceive it. It is not a means for your release from what you see in |
W1:127.2 | it would have to judge between the righteous and the sinner and | perceive the Son of God in separate parts. |
W1:128.2 | mind this world contains is that you pass it by, without delaying to | perceive some hope where there is none. Be you deceived no more. The |
W1:128.3 | Escape today the chains you place upon your mind when you | perceive salvation here. For what you value you make part of you as |
W1:128.3 | salvation here. For what you value you make part of you as you | perceive yourself. All things you seek to make your value greater in |
W1:133.10 | Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived will not | perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will believe that he |
W1:133.10 | he tries to keep its halo clear within his vision, yet must he | perceive its tarnished edges and its rusted core. |
W1:134.9 | There is a very simple way to find the door to true forgiveness and | perceive it open wide in welcome. When you feel that you are tempted |
W1:134.13 | Forgiveness must be practiced, for the world cannot | perceive its meaning nor provide a guide to teach you its |
W1:134.16 | Let me | perceive forgiveness as it is. |
W1:134.20 | Let me | perceive forgiveness as it is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? |
W1:135.15 | It is, perhaps, not easy to | perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses with the purpose |
W1:138.1 | must be hell as well, for contradiction is the way we make what we | perceive and what we think is real. Creation knows no opposite. But |
W1:138.4 | would induce. You make but one. And when that one is made, you will | perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is true and nothing else |
W1:140.3 | can merely dream he is awake. The dreams forgiveness lets the mind | perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer |
W1:147.2 | [134] Let me | perceive forgiveness as it is. |
W1:152.4 | the most obscure. But not because it is a difficult distinction to | perceive. It is concealed behind a vast array of choices which do not |
W1:152.7 | what God created not? To think you can is merely to believe you can | perceive what God willed not to be. And what could be more arrogant |
W1:159.2 | you forgive. You recognize your brother as yourself and thus do you | perceive that you are whole. There is no miracle you cannot give, for |
W1:161.10 | Attack on him is enemy to you, for you will not | perceive that in his hands is your salvation. Ask him but for this, |
W1:161.16 | you use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a brother and | perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you will see him |
W1:165.4 | Deny not Heaven. It is yours today but for the asking. Nor need you | perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be before it |
W1:166.8 | fearfully lest you should feel Christ's touch upon your shoulder and | perceive His gentle hand directing you to look upon your gifts. How |
W1:166.11 | of poverty oppresses you and speaks of His companionship when you | perceive yourself as lonely and afraid. |
W1:170.3 | is it real and inescapable. Lay down your arms, and only then do you | perceive it false. |
W1:170.5 | your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined way, you will | perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is obvious |
W1:170.11 | its attributes with those of fear. Yet must the worshipers of fear | perceive their own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a |
W1:184.8 | you give him as his own. And thus his unity is twice denied, for you | perceive him separate from you, and he accepts this separate name as |
W1:187.2 | sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes will not | perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but represent the |
W1:187.3 | is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning. Now you can | perceive that by your giving is your store increased. |
W1:189.1 | There is a light in you the world cannot | perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light, for you are |
W1:189.5 | you feel within. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will | perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony |
W1:190.5 | all things you see by merely recognizing what you are. As you | perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your holy will as |
W1:191.6 | have freed the world. You have no need to use it cruelly and then | perceive this savage need in it. You set it free of your |
W1:191.11 | You who | perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated |
W1:192.6 | to look again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you will indeed | perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of sight no sacrifice |
W1:192.7 | indeed been given everything by God. Yet do we need forgiveness to | perceive that this is so. Without its kindly light we grope in |
W1:193.2 | that will lead him back to where perception ceases. God does not | perceive at all. Yet it is He Who gives the means by which perception |
W1:193.3 | which it could be offered to the world. And He created One Who could | perceive what form this law should take, to be received by every mind |
W1:193.11 | can you tell when you are seeing wrong or someone else is failing to | perceive the lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the |

W1:196.6 | is real to anyone who thinks this thought is true. And he will not | perceive its foolishness nor even see that it is there so that it |

W1:198.7 | look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you will | perceive a miracle instead. |
W1:198.14 | Itself, so like to Him Whose Son he is, that to behold the Son is to | perceive no more and only know the Father? In this vision of the Son, |
W1:199.1 | Freedom must be impossible as long as you | perceive a body as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would seek for |
W1:199.7 | can make use of your escape from bondage to set free the many who | perceive themselves as bound and helpless and afraid. Let love |
W2:236.1 | and feel. And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I | perceive in it. My mind can only serve. Today I give its service to |
W2:250.1 | in him and see his strength diminished and reduced to frailty nor | perceive the lacks in him with which I would attack his sovereignty. |
W2:261.1 | what I think is refuge and security. I will behold myself where I | perceive my strength and think I live within the citadel where I am |
W2:262.1 | that I would look upon today. He is Your one creation. Why should I | perceive a thousand forms in what remains as one? Why should I give |
W2:263.1 | upon what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not | perceive such dark and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit |
W2:265.1 | reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God's. And so I can | perceive creation's gentleness. |
W2:270.1 | How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more will I | perceive in it than sight can give. The world forgiven signifies Your |
W2:WIC.2 | dreams are over. He remains untouched by anything the body's eyes | perceive. For though in Him His Father placed the means for your |
W2:278.1 | the world obeys must I obey—the frailties and the sins which I | perceive are real and cannot be escaped. If I am bound in any way, I |
W2:289.1 | really looking nowhere, seeing but what is not there. How can I then | perceive the world forgiveness offers? This the past was made to |
W2:290.1 | And I would have Christ's vision come to me this very day. What I | perceive without God's own correction for the sight I made is |
W2:WIRW.3 | such a mind for thoughts of death, attack, and murder? What can it | perceive surrounding it but safety, love, and joy? What is there it |
W2:WIRW.4 | and guilt is over and God's Son no longer sleeps. His waking eyes | perceive the sure reflection of his Father's Love, the certain |
W2:292.1 | not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems we | perceive, all trials we see, and every situation that we meet. Yet is |
W2:292.2 | the happy endings You have promised us for every problem that we can | perceive, for every trial we think we still must meet. |
W2:293.1 | All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I | perceive a world forgiven at last. |
W2:328.1 | What seems to be the second place is first, for all things we | perceive are upside-down until we listen to the Voice of God. It |

W2:350.1 | What we forgive becomes a part of us as we | perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all things within |
W2:WAI.3 | our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brothers and | perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function |
M:5.4 | this is enormous, because the existence of the world as we | perceive it depends on the body being the decision-maker. Terms like |
M:16.11 | must God's teachers learn to recognize the forms of magic and | perceive their meaninglessness. Fear is withdrawn from them, and so |

Tx:3.20 | is what the Bible means when it says, “When He shall appear (or be | perceived) we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” |
Tx:3.35 | Certainty is always of God. When you love someone, you have | perceived him as he is, and this makes it possible for you to know |
Tx:3.41 | perceiving valid answers because these are cognitive and cannot be | perceived. The endless speculation about the meaning of mind has led |
Tx:3.47 | Thereafter, the superconscious was | perceived as a threat, because light does abolish darkness merely by |
Tx:3.52 | and has no true generalizability. When you make something to fill a | perceived lack, which is obviously why you would want to make |
Tx:3.62 | judged, whether it be in or out of the self. However, what has been | perceived and rejected—or judged and found wanting—remains in the |
Tx:3.62 | and found wanting—remains in the unconscious because it has been | perceived. One of the illusions from which man suffers is the belief |
Tx:3.64 | Man is very fearful of everything he has | perceived but has refused to accept. He believes that, because he has |
Tx:3.73 | he is thought of as extremely powerful and extremely active. He is | perceived as a force in combat with God, battling Him for possession |
Tx:3.77 | Images are | perceived, not known. Knowledge cannot deceive, but perception |
Tx:3.79 | point is truth, and you must return to this beginning. Much has been | perceived since then, but nothing else has happened. That is why your |
Tx:4.9 | The ultimate reason why learning is | perceived as frightening is because learning does lead to the |

Tx:4.28 | is not the self. Undermining the ego's thought system must be | perceived as painful, even though this is anything but true. Babies |
Tx:4.79 | of sex with aggression and the resulting behavior, which is | perceived as the same for both, serves as an example. This is |
Tx:4.82 | concept, and this the ego understands well. “A little,” then, is | perceived as the real threat. |
Tx:4.83 | remember is that the ego does not recognize the real source of its | perceived threat, and if you associate yourself with the ego, you |
Tx:4.95 | specific in their own judgment. For example, although all forms of | perceived demands may be classified or judged by the ego as coercive |
Tx:5.87 | more than was necessary to keep his fear in tolerable bounds as he | perceived the situation. Therefore, he emphasized that the point in |
Tx:5.87 | not decided to involve it in a strong defense system because he | perceived it as an attack. |
Tx:6.13 | was their only purpose, and that is the only way in which I can be | perceived as the Way, the Truth, and the Light. |

Tx:6.73 | At this point, the equality of “having” and “being” is not yet | perceived. Until it is, “having” appears to be the opposite of |
Tx:7.21 | in the plural, because abilities began with the ego, which | perceived them as potentials for excelling. This is how the ego |
Tx:7.25 | It was created to be shared and therefore cannot be meaningfully | perceived as belonging to anyone at the expense of another. Such a |
Tx:7.32 | be whenever it is undertaken as separate from what already is and | perceived as a means for establishing it. To believe this is |
Tx:7.34 | is therefore not the opposite of remembering, when it is properly | perceived. Perceived improperly, it induces a perception of |
Tx:7.34 | not the opposite of remembering, when it is properly perceived. | Perceived improperly, it induces a perception of conflict with |
Tx:7.34 | with something else, as all incorrect perception does. Properly | perceived, it can be used as a way out of conflict, as all proper |
Tx:7.35 | forgetting must be translated into a way of remembering and not | perceived as a separate ability which opposes an opposite. That is |
Tx:7.64 | by your perception and is not influenced by it at all. All | perceived problems in identification at any level are not problems |
Tx:7.65 | You can be | perceived with meaning only by the Holy Spirit, because your being |
Tx:7.66 | | Perceived without your part in it, God's creation is perceived as |
Tx:7.66 | Perceived without your part in it, God's creation is | perceived as weak, and those who see themselves as weakened do |

Tx:8.61 | In the world, not even the body is | perceived as whole. Its purpose is seen as fragmented into many |
Tx:8.71 | to contain two voices which are fighting for its possession. In this | perceived constellation, the body is regarded as capable of shifting |
Tx:8.90 | The very fact that the Will of God, which is what you are, is | perceived as fearful to you demonstrates that you are afraid of |

Tx:9.87 | The Sonship cannot be | perceived as partly sick, because to perceive it that way is not to |
Tx:10.2 | ego have made you? The authority problem remains the only source of | perceived conflict, because the ego was made out of the wish of God's |
Tx:10.70 | that the Son of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind | perceived in this world are the world's only reality. They are |
Tx:10.74 | reality is true is necessary. But do you believe it? When you have | perceived the real world, you will recognize that you did not |
Tx:11.4 | all calls for help as exactly what they are except your own | perceived need to attack. It is only this that makes you willing |
Tx:11.12 | of the underlying belief it masks, you are undermining its | perceived usefulness by rendering it useless. Defenses which do not |
Tx:11.37 | its guidance leads you to a journey which must end in | perceived self-defeat. For the ego cannot love, and in its |
Tx:11.60 | What is one cannot be | perceived as separate, and the denial of the separation is the |
Tx:11.68 | to dissociation, for it represents the acceptance of two goals, each | perceived in a different place, separated from each other because |
Tx:12.34 | that they are not whole. For these figures have no witnesses, being | perceived in one separate mind only. |
Tx:12.46 | with no reference at all to the past, either his or yours as you | perceived it, you will be able to learn from what you see now. For |
Tx:13.5 | you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the same, | perceived in the same light and therefore one. Everyone seen |
Tx:13.35 | and even death become the ego's best advice for how to deal with the | perceived and harsh intrusion of guilt on peace. Yet no one sees |
Tx:13.63 | asleep. The vision of Christ is given the very instant that it is | perceived. Where everything is clear, it is all holy. The quietness |
Tx:14.42 | upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself can be | perceived upon it. Reflections are seen in light. In darkness they |
Tx:15.2 | One source of | perceived discouragement from which you suffer is your belief that |
Tx:15.101 | Thought that has been given you. When they are brought together and | perceived where they are, the choice between them is nothing more |
Tx:15.104 | and live within himself in peace? And who can try to resolve the | perceived conflict of Heaven and hell in him by casting Heaven out |
Tx:16.32 | it and keep within them. The special love relationship is not | perceived as a value in itself, but as a place of safety from which |
Tx:16.45 | where the illusion of love is accepted in love's place, love is | perceived as separation and exclusion. |
Tx:16.52 | If you | perceived the special relationship as a triumph over God, would you |
Tx:16.58 | How simple does this choice become when it is | perceived as only what it is. For only fantasies made confusion in |
Tx:16.70 | it. Imagined slights, remembered pain, past disappointments, | perceived injustices, and deprivations all enter into the special |
Tx:16.80 | extends to bless everyone and to resolve all problems, be they | perceived as great or small, possible or impossible. There is nothing |
Tx:17.24 | the relationships which the unholy alliance dictates are not | perceived nor felt as now. Yet the frame of reference to which the |
Tx:17.40 | in relation to each other. The dark picture brought to light is not | perceived as fearful, but the fact that it is just a picture is |
Tx:17.65 | is a relationship, being the joining of thoughts. If problems are | perceived, it is because the thoughts are judged to be in conflict. |
Tx:18.2 | are the same. Substitution is clearly a process in which they are | perceived as different. One would unite; the other separate. Nothing |
Tx:18.47 | Whichever is saner at the time when the threat is | perceived should remember how deep is his indebtedness to the other |
Tx:18.54 | with this thing you hate, the instrument of vengeance and the | perceived source of your guilt. You have done this to a thing that |
Tx:18.59 | of you as you unite with it. And both become whole as neither is | perceived as separate. What really happens is that you have given up |
Tx:18.94 | completely different. Here is the Source of light—nothing | perceived, forgiven, nor transformed, but merely known. |
Tx:19.1 | faith encompasses everyone involved, for only thus the situation is | perceived as meaningful and as a whole. And everyone must be involved |
Tx:19.2 | Every situation properly | perceived becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is |
Tx:19.6 | Both cannot be together nor | perceived in the same place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set |
Tx:19.11 | keep no one separate from yours. Each one appears just as he is | perceived in the holy instant, united in your purpose to be released |
Tx:19.20 | is seen as arrogance, and the acceptance of the self as sinful is | perceived as holiness. And it is this doctrine which replaces the |
Tx:19.32 | prevail against it nor remain itself before the power of sin. Sin is | perceived as mightier than God, before which God Himself must bow |
Tx:19.88 | comes over it, remember it is always for one reason—the ego has | perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin and death. Remember |
Tx:20.50 | no relationships and no return. Here is the “mystery” of separation | perceived in awe and held in reverence. What God would have not be |
Tx:20.76 | What has no meaning cannot be | perceived. And meaning always looks within to find itself and then |
Tx:21.1 | Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing | perceived without it means anything. And where there is no meaning, |
Tx:21.46 | Holy Spirit teaches. This is the reasoning of the sane. You have | perceived the ego's madness and not been made afraid because you did |
Tx:21.84 | attained by giving up the wish for the inconstant. Joy cannot be | perceived except through constant vision. And constant vision can |
Tx:22.33 | having been made to guarantee that nothing else but form will be | perceived. |
Tx:22.53 | service which leads to freedom. To serve this end, the body must be | perceived as sinless because the goal is sinlessness. The lack of |
Tx:23.33 | and has no laws. To be believed, its seeming laws must be | perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be seen as sanity. And |
Tx:23.37 | stands; senseless, impossible, and beyond all reason, and yet | perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. |
Tx:23.51 | it is over when you realize it never was begun. How can a battle be | perceived as nothingness when you engage in it? How can the truth of |
Tx:23.53 | the limits it exerts on those in battle still are gone and not | perceived. The body stands between the Father and the Heaven He |
Tx:24.8 | him reach it in every way you could if his attainment of it were | perceived as yours? You are his enemy in specialness; his friend in |
Tx:24.66 | If not, it has no purpose and is means for nothing. Whatever is | perceived as means for truth shares in its holiness and rests in |
Tx:24.69 | are the means and purpose separate because they were so made and so | perceived. And therefore do we deal with them as if they were. It is |
Tx:25.4 | the meeting of the holy Christ unto Himself; nor are any differences | perceived to stand between the aspects of His holiness, which meet |
Tx:25.9 | of God and what you really will. But this is understood by mind | perceived as one, aware that it is one and so experienced. It is |
Tx:25.25 | and to each it is a perfect means to serve the goal for which it is | perceived. For specialness it is the perfect frame to set it off— |
Tx:25.44 | seems painful to the eyes grown long accustomed to the dim effects | perceived at twilight. And they turn away from sunlight and the |
Tx:25.47 | one perfect choice. And by this act of special faithfulness to one | perceived as other than himself, he learns the gift was given to |
Tx:25.54 | not insane on which a sane perception can be based, another world | perceived. And one in which nothing is contradicted that would lead |
Tx:25.54 | cruelty, to separation, and to differences. For here is everything | perceived as one, and no one loses that each one may gain. |
Tx:25.55 | the other as insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a world | perceived as wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to |
Tx:25.58 | to perceive at all. To each his special function is designed to be | perceived as possible and more and more desired as it proves to him |
Tx:25.71 | And thus is love | perceived as weak and vengeance strong. For love has lost when |
Tx:26.29 | Where sin once was | perceived will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, |
Tx:26.41 | time and death are real and have existence which can be | perceived. This terrible illusion was denied in but the time it took |
Tx:26.44 | real. And it is real to you. It is not nothing and through its | perceived reality has entered all the world of sick illusions. All |
Tx:26.48 | place of changeless knowledge. Yet is truth unchanged. It cannot be | perceived, but only known. What is perceived takes many forms, but |
Tx:26.48 | is truth unchanged. It cannot be perceived, but only known. What is | perceived takes many forms, but none has meaning. Brought to truth, |
Tx:26.69 | safer to remain a little careful and a little watchful of interests | perceived as separate. From this perception you cannot conceive of |
Tx:26.71 | Yet space between you is apparent now and cannot be | perceived in future time. No more can it be overlooked except within |
Tx:26.74 | there is no reason for an interval in which disaster strikes, to be | perceived as “good” some day but now in form of pain. This is a |
Tx:26.75 | one effect which it engenders and one form in which its outcome is | perceived. This interval in time, when retribution is perceived to be |
Tx:26.75 | its outcome is perceived. This interval in time, when retribution is | perceived to be the form in which the “good” appears, is but one |
Tx:26.86 | could some be evaluated as unfair? Some then are given meaning and | perceived as sensible. And only some are seen as meaningless. And |
Tx:26.87 | and attack are one mistake, so firmly joined that where one is | perceived, the other must be seen. You cannot be unfairly treated. |
Tx:26.87 | Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root of everything | perceived to be unfair and not your just deserts. Yet it is you who |
Tx:27.5 | have you believed because it witnessed to the guilt in him which you | perceived and loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the |
Tx:27.9 | little pleasures where you can. Yet in this picture is the body not | perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself. For it |
Tx:27.23 | yours and gives you both a different role. And so you cannot be | perceived as one and, with a single function, that would mean a |
Tx:27.24 | half. And these two halves appear to represent a split within a self | perceived as two.] |
Tx:27.26 | half which is denied. And only what is left without his presence is | perceived as all of you. To this remaining half the Holy Spirit must |
Tx:27.31 | be recognized as vacant, and the time devoted to its seeing be | perceived as idly spent, a time unoccupied. |
Tx:27.34 | which the eyes have ever seen or ears have heard remains to be | perceived. |
Tx:27.51 | in lawful manner in accord with laws which have been properly | perceived but never violated. Fear you not the way that you perceive |
Tx:27.58 | suffering. It is no longer there. The One Who brings the miracle | perceived them all as one and called by name of fear. As fear is |
Tx:27.68 | really be. Of one thing you were sure—of all the many causes you | perceived as bringing pain and suffering to you, your guilt was not |
Tx:27.71 | An honest choice could never be | perceived as one in which the choice is split between a tiny you and |
Tx:28.25 | forgiving dreams are the effects of yours undone and hated enemies | perceived as friends with merciful intent. Their enmity is seen as |
Tx:28.29 | perceive itself as separate and apart from you. Thus is the body not | perceived as sick by both your minds, from separate points of view. |
Tx:28.29 | Uniting with a brother's mind prevents the cause of sickness and | perceived effects. Healing is the effect of minds which join, as |
Tx:28.34 | left behind the open door. What is the world except a little gap | perceived to tear eternity apart and break it into days and months |
Tx:28.47 | of limitation? Of a splitting off and separating from? A gap | perceived between [ourselves] and what is seen as health? The good is |
Tx:28.48 | [of] pain and loss, that makes them real. Unshared, they are | perceived as meaningless. The fear is gone from them because you did |
Tx:28.53 | understand that it is here that you are kept as prisoners in a world | perceived to be existing here. The world you see does not exist |
Tx:29.11 | where its cause is must it be. Now is it caused, though not as yet | perceived. And its effects are there, though not yet seen. Look |
Tx:29.15 | your wish to be alive apart from life, alive in death, with death | perceived as life, and living, death. Confusion follows on confusion |
Tx:29.18 | it seems to be a thing with power in itself. As something, it can be | perceived and thought to feel and act and hold you in its grasp as |
Tx:29.22 | your brother then and understand what really fills the gap so long | perceived as keeping you apart. |
Tx:29.27 | the function. It can be in you or someone else, but where it is | perceived, it will be there it is attacked. Depression or assault |
Tx:29.49 | the two. You choose your dreams, for they are what you wish, | perceived as if it had been given you. Your idols do what you would |
Tx:29.52 | replaced, no matter what their form. And it is this which never is | perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a thing, a place, a |
Tx:29.53 | complete your little self [and let you walk in] safety in a world | perceived as dangerous, with forces massed against your confidence |
Tx:29.54 | you see. An idol is a wish made tangible and given form and thus | perceived as real and seen outside the mind. Yet it is still a |
Tx:29.67 | time is almost over. And the forms which enter in the dream are now | perceived as brothers, not in judgment but in love. |
Tx:30.56 | fade and disappear. For here the gap that is not there begins to be | perceived without the toys of terror that you made. No more than this |

Tx:1.41 | they deny body-identification and affirm Soul-identification. By | perceiving the spirit, they adjust the levels and see them in proper |
Tx:1.57 | error as false or unreal. This is the same as saying that by | perceiving light, darkness automatically disappears. |
Tx:1.59 | acknowledges all men as your brothers and mine. It is a way of | perceiving the universal mark of God in them. The specialness of |
Tx:1.92 | from God, requires correction at its own level before the error of | perceiving levels at all can be corrected. Man cannot behave |
Tx:1.106 | to false internal needs. Twist reality in any way, and you are | perceiving destructively. Reality was lost through usurpation, which |
Tx:2.45 | | Perceiving the body as a temple is only the first step in correcting |
Tx:2.69 | This is because healing rests on charity, and charity is a way of | perceiving the perfection of another even if he cannot perceive it |
Tx:3.31 | and this means that it is not whole. The miracle is a way of | perceiving, not of knowing. It is the right answer to a question, |
Tx:3.41 | for himself. It is capable of asking valid questions but not of | perceiving valid answers because these are cognitive and cannot be |
Tx:3.56 | a position where he could resemble his Father only by miraculously | perceiving. He has lost the knowledge that he himself is a miracle. |
Tx:4.46 | Himself can hardly be equated with the pull of human appetites. By | perceiving them as the same, the ego attempts to save itself from |
Tx:4.57 | you have thought wrongly about some Soul that God created and are | perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly |
Tx:5.32 | The way to learn to know your brother is by | perceiving the Holy Spirit in him. We have already said that the Holy |
Tx:5.34 | you are the perceiver. They must also be in his, because you are | perceiving him. See him through the Holy Spirit in his mind, and |
Tx:5.42 | eternity through time because, having made time, it is capable of | perceiving its opposite. |
Tx:5.74 | is a fearful thing to the ego because of its prejudiced judgment. | Perceiving it as fearful, it interprets it fearfully. Having made |
Tx:5.94 | you have reacted with a lack of love to some Soul which God created. | Perceiving this as “sin,” you become defensive because you expect |
Tx:6.29 | The Holy Spirit begins by | perceiving you as perfect. Knowing this perfection is shared, He |
Tx:6.29 | this arouses love for both because it establishes inclusion. | Perceiving equality, the Holy Spirit perceives equal needs. This |
Tx:6.38 | The Holy Spirit was given you with perfect impartiality, and only by | perceiving Him impartially can you perceive Him at all. The ego is |
Tx:6.48 | and the ego feels badly in need of allies though not of brothers. | Perceiving something alien to itself in your mind, the ego turns to |
Tx:7.9 | transfer to it. When a brother perceives himself as sick, he is | perceiving himself as not whole and therefore in need. If you too |
Tx:7.9 | not of God, but the Kingdom is. If you obscure the Kingdom, you are | perceiving what is not of God. |
Tx:7.17 | not understand His translations while you listen to two ways of | perceiving them. Therefore, you must forget or relinquish one to |
Tx:7.28 | impossible as true. How is that different from saying that you are | perceiving yourself as unreal? |
Tx:7.36 | the way to undo the belief in differences, being the only way of | perceiving the Sonship without this belief. This perception is |
Tx:7.56 | is totally inimical to its existence for its existence. Fearful of | perceiving the power of this source, it is forced to depreciate it. |
Tx:7.57 | existence as threatened by projecting the threat onto you and | perceiving your being as nonexistent. This ensures its |
Tx:7.60 | for Him. He resolves the apparent conflict which they engender by | perceiving conflict as meaningless. We said before that the Holy |
Tx:7.64 | It is not true. The ego therefore is totally committed to untruth, | perceiving in total contradiction to the Holy Spirit and to the |
Tx:7.65 | it is what you are. If you dissociate your mind from it, you are | perceiving the most powerful force in the universe [of thought] as if |
Tx:7.111 | of God is there for you to recognize and appreciate and know. | Perceiving the Majesty of God as your brother is to accept your |
Tx:8.35 | it is one. If you exclude yourself from this union, you are | perceiving the Holy Trinity as separated. You must be included in |
Tx:8.37 | to heal is to unite with those who are like you, because | perceiving this likeness is to recognize the Father. If your |
Tx:8.63 | extension beyond it, will induce illness by fostering separation. | Perceiving the body as a separate entity cannot but foster |
Tx:9.5 | When a brother behaves insanely, you can heal him only by | perceiving the sanity in him. If you perceive his errors and |
Tx:9.22 | What they have done is merely to identify with the ego and, by | perceiving clearly what it does, condemn themselves because of this |
Tx:9.92 | you will learn of the greater light, for the rays are there unseen. | Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the light will create. |
Tx:10.69 | again, implying that before, or in the interval, you were not | perceiving at all. What, then, is the world that awaits your |
Tx:10.71 | made that is true is like Him. Only this is the real world, and | perceiving only this will lead you to the real Heaven because it |
Tx:11.43 | attack was effective, you behold yourself as weakened. No longer | perceiving yourself and all your brothers as equal and regarding |
Tx:11.62 | Yet if you see its effects, you know it must be there. By | perceiving what it does, you recognize its being. And by what it |
Tx:11.63 | the Holy Spirit enables you to do is clearly beyond all of them. | Perceiving His results, you will understand where He must be and |
Tx:12.18 | themselves, like you they long for the grandeur that is in them. And | perceiving it you will welcome it, and it will be yours. For |
Tx:12.27 | they were someone else, and this will surely prevent you from | perceiving them as they are. And you will receive messages from |
Tx:12.29 | Would you recognize a holy encounter if you are merely | perceiving it as a meeting with your own past? For you are meeting no |
Tx:12.40 | them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to yourself, | perceiving them as witnesses to your reality, which you share with |
Tx:12.49 | so perceive him as born again. His errors are all past, and by | perceiving him without them, you are releasing him. And since his |
Tx:16.56 | God and fantasy. Remember this and you will have no difficulty in | perceiving the decision as just what it is and nothing more. |
Tx:21.83 | answer is both “yes” and “no.” For you have answered “yes” without | perceiving that “yes” must mean “not no.” No one decides against |

Tx:1.25 | 23. Miracles rearrange perception and place the levels of | perception in true perspective. This heals at all levels, because |
Tx:1.53 | makes them vulnerable to the distortions of others since their own | perception of themselves is distorted. The miracle worker can only |
Tx:1.55 | false thinking by me. It acts as a catalyst, shaking up erroneous | perception and reorganizing it properly. This places man under the |

Tx:1.64 | The way to perceive for Golden Rule behavior is to look out from the | perception of your own holiness and perceive the holiness of others. |

Tx:1.91 | he establishes for himself. His hierarchy, in turn, depends on his | perception of what he is—that is, what he lacks. A sense of |
Tx:1.91 | of separation would never have occurred if he had not distorted his | perception of truth and thus perceived himself as lacking. The |
Tx:1.94 | Every aspect of fear proceeds from upside-down | perception. The more truly creative devote their efforts to |
Tx:1.104 | than straightens out, the basic level confusion which underlies the | perception of all those who seek happiness with the instruments of |
Tx:1.105 | is still so dim. Everyone can use his body best by enlarging man's | perception so he can see the real vision. This vision is |
Tx:1.106 | distorted forms of thinking, because they always involve twisting | perception into unreality. Fantasy is a debased form of vision. |
Tx:1.107 | No fantasies are true. They are distortions of | perception by definition. They are a means of making false |

Tx:2.48 | sight. The alternating investment in the two types or levels of | perception is usually experienced as conflict for a long time and can |
Tx:2.58 | into panic. This is particularly likely to occur when upside-down | perception has induced the belief that miracles are frightening. |
Tx:2.67 | man forgets is that the discomfort is not the final outcome of its | perception. When the Spiritual eye is permitted to look upon the |

Tx:3.30 | We have been emphasizing | perception and have said very little about cognition as yet, because |

Tx:3.31 | True | perception is the basis for knowledge, but knowing is the |

Tx:3.35 | you are acting on the basis of knowledge, you are really confusing | perception and cognition. Knowledge brings the mental strength for |

Tx:3.43 | with the knowing mind, because it is applicable only to right | perception. You can be right-minded or wrong-minded, and even this is |
Tx:3.43 | and applies to the state of mind which induces accurate | perception. It is miraculous because it heals misperception, and |
Tx:3.44 | | Perception always involves some misuse of will, because it involves |
Tx:3.44 | willed ambiguously, and the only way out of ambiguity is clear | perception. The mind returns to its proper function only when it |
Tx:3.44 | when it wills to know. This places it in the Soul's service, where | perception is meaningless. The superconscious is the level of the |
Tx:3.46 | you must perceive something and with something. This is why | perception involves an exchange or translation, which knowledge does |

Tx:3.57 | other hand, is impossible without a belief in “more” and “less.” | Perception at every level involves selectivity and is incapable of |
Tx:3.57 | and is incapable of organization without it. In all types of | perception, there is a continual process of accepting and rejecting |
Tx:3.57 | of shifting and changing focus. Evaluation is an essential part of | perception, because judgments must be made for selection. |
Tx:3.58 | there are no judgments and there is nothing but perfect equality? | Perception becomes impossible. Truth can only be known. All of it |
Tx:3.58 | true, and knowing any part of it is to know all of it. Only | perception involves partial awareness. Knowledge transcends all the |

Tx:3.60 | As long as perception lasts, prayer has a place. Since | perception rests on lack, those who perceive have not totally |

Tx:3.61 | rests. We have discussed this before in terms of the selectivity of | perception, pointing out that evaluation is its obvious prerequisite. |
Tx:3.63 | and this is the process which enables recognition to replace | perception. |

Tx:4.25 | Thinking about another ego is as effective in changing relative | perception as is physical interaction. There could be no better |
Tx:4.31 | it cannot establish the reality of itself. In fact, its whole | perception of other egos as real is only an attempt to convince |
Tx:4.35 | account of “the creation” and associates this with its particular | perception of magic. The “battle for survival” is nothing more than |
Tx:4.36 | Right-mindedness dictates the next step automatically, because right | perception is uniformly without attack, so that wrong-mindedness is |
Tx:4.37 | of reliability and not validity. “Reliable behavior” is a meaningful | perception as far as ego thinking goes. However, “valid behavior” is |
Tx:4.42 | not ceased to create because your ego has set you on the road of | perception. Your Soul's creations are no more fatherless than you |
Tx:4.74 | ability would naturally develop, would necessarily involve accurate | perception, a state of clarity which the ego, fearful of being judged |
Tx:4.80 | unthinkable. That state in itself is enough to demonstrate that the | perception is wrong. |
Tx:4.81 | It cannot be emphasized too often that correcting | perception is merely a temporary expedient. It is necessary to do so |
Tx:4.81 | only because misperception is a block to knowledge, while accurate | perception is a stepping-stone towards it. The whole value of right |
Tx:4.81 | is a stepping-stone towards it. The whole value of right | perception lies in the inevitable judgment which it entails that it |
Tx:4.85 | are throwing away the graciousness of your indebtedness and the holy | perception it would produce. |
Tx:4.86 | Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to knowledge as | perception ever can. The gap is then so small that knowledge can |
Tx:4.90 | I will go with you to the Holy One, and through my | perception, He can bridge the little gap. Your gratitude to each |
Tx:4.100 | He is. He has no ego with which to accept such thanks and no | perception with which to judge such offerings. But unless you take |
Tx:5.11 | allows it to come. We have spoken before of the higher or the “true” | perception, which is so close to truth that God Himself can flow |
Tx:5.11 | is the Christ Mind, which senses the knowledge that lies beyond | perception. It came into being with the separation as a protection, |
Tx:5.12 | the old learning and the new situation to which it is transferred. | Perception is not knowledge, but it can be transferred to knowledge |
Tx:5.13 | Spirit, the shared Inspiration of all the Sonship, induces a kind of | perception in which many elements are like those in the Kingdom of |
Tx:5.17 | be quite familiar, because it is very similar to the shift in time | perception which the miracle introduces. The Holy Spirit is the |
Tx:5.32 | said that the Holy Spirit is the bridge or thought-transfer of | perception to knowledge, so we can use the terms as if they were |
Tx:5.40 | Peace and eternity are as closely related as are time and war. | Perception as well as knowledge derives meaning from relationships. |
Tx:5.44 | except for yourself. That exception has given you more than | perception for others because of what you saw in them but less |
Tx:5.44 | you did not accept them as part of you. Understanding is beyond | perception because it introduces meaning. It is, however, below |
Tx:5.85 | and enlightenment is understanding. Enlightenment stands under | perception, because you have denied it as the real foundation of |
Tx:6.15 | My one lesson, which I must teach as I learned, is that no | perception which is out of accord with the judgment of the Holy |
Tx:6.28 | The ego uses projection only to distort your | perception both of yourself and your brothers. The process begins |
Tx:6.31 | The perfect equality of the Holy Spirit's | perception is the counterpart of the perfect equality of God's |
Tx:6.31 | the counterpart of the perfect equality of God's knowing. The ego's | perception has no counterpart in God, but the Holy Spirit remains |
Tx:6.31 | counterpart in God, but the Holy Spirit remains the bridge between | perception and knowledge. By enabling you to use perception in a way |
Tx:6.31 | the bridge between perception and knowledge. By enabling you to use | perception in a way that parallels knowledge, you will ultimately |
Tx:6.31 | prefer to believe that this meeting is impossible, yet it is your | perception which the Holy Spirit guides. You might remember that the |
Tx:6.31 | the same as in the future if time and space are one dimension. Your | perception will end where it began. Everything meets in God, |
Tx:6.33 | your minds are split, you can also perceive as well as think. Yet | perception cannot escape from the basic laws of mind. You perceive |
Tx:6.33 | from your mind and extend your perceptions outward. Although | perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it, and the Holy |
Tx:6.33 | it, and the Holy Spirit can therefore use it well. He can inspire | perception and lead it toward God by making it parallel to God's |
Tx:6.36 | your mind converge with His. There is no conflict anywhere in this | perception, because it means that all perception is guided by the |
Tx:6.36 | no conflict anywhere in this perception, because it means that all | perception is guided by the Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. |
Tx:6.37 | mind and thus perceives them as one. Nothing conflicts in this | perception, because what the Holy Spirit perceives is the same. |
Tx:6.40 | The Holy Spirit still holds knowledge safe through His impartial | perception. By attacking nothing, He presents no barrier at all to |
Tx:6.49 | him, they join in the attack together. This is perhaps the strangest | perception of all if you consider what it really involves. The ego, |
Tx:6.65 | communication into being, just as He ultimately translates | perception into knowledge. [You do not lose what you communicate.] |
Tx:6.65 | body for attack, for pleasure, and for pride. The insanity of this | perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The Holy Spirit sees the |
Tx:6.69 | resolve it, because it is the beginning step in reversing your | perception and turning it right-side up. This conflicts with the |
Tx:6.69 | and turning it right-side up. This conflicts with the upside-down | perception which you have not yet abandoned, or the change in |
Tx:6.80 | is still perceptual, although it is a giant step toward the unified | perception which parallels God's knowing. |
Tx:6.93 | The wholeness of the Kingdom does not depend on your | perception, but your awareness of its wholeness does. It is only |
Tx:7.10 | To heal, then, is to correct | perception in your brother and yourself by sharing the Holy Spirit |
Tx:7.25 | perceived as belonging to anyone at the expense of another. Such a | perception makes it meaningless by eliminating or overlooking its |
Tx:7.34 | when it is properly perceived. Perceived improperly, it induces a | perception of conflict with something else, as all incorrect |
Tx:7.34 | a perception of conflict with something else, as all incorrect | perception does. Properly perceived, it can be used as a way out |
Tx:7.34 | perceived, it can be used as a way out of conflict, as all proper | perception can. |
Tx:7.36 | the only way of perceiving the Sonship without this belief. This | perception is therefore in accord with the laws of God, even in a |
Tx:7.36 | of mind which is out of accord with His. The strength of right | perception is so great that it brings the mind into accord with |
Tx:7.54 | return to the mind of the thinker, and they will affect his total | perception. That includes his perception of God, of His creations, |
Tx:7.54 | and they will affect his total perception. That includes his | perception of God, of His creations, and of his own. He will not |
Tx:7.59 | therefore opposes all appreciation, all recognition, all sane | perception, and all knowledge. It perceives their threat as total, |
Tx:7.64 | you are thinking insanely. What you are is not established by your | perception and is not influenced by it at all. All perceived |
Tx:7.73 | is the mirror in which you will see the image of yourself as long as | perception lasts. And perception will last until the Sonship knows |
Tx:7.73 | you will see the image of yourself as long as perception lasts. And | perception will last until the Sonship knows itself as whole. |
Tx:7.74 | You made | perception, and it must last as long as you want it. Illusions are |
Tx:7.89 | perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond belief, and His | perception is true. The ego can be completely forgotten at any |
Tx:7.89 | because it is unbelievable. The utter meaninglessness of all | perception that comes from the unbelievable must be apparent, but it |
Tx:7.111 | given you. Nothing is as easy to perceive as truth. This is the | perception which is immediate, clear, and natural. You have trained |
Tx:8.63 | If the mind believes the body is its goal, it will distort its | perception of the body and, by blocking its own extension beyond it, |
Tx:8.64 | you do both simultaneously with the same thing and not suffer? | Perception of the body can be unified only by one purpose. This |
Tx:8.70 | not define the whole. This is as true of knowledge as it is of | perception. The reason to know in part is to know entirely is |
Tx:8.70 | is because of the fundamental difference between knowledge and | perception. In perception the whole is built up of parts, which can |
Tx:8.70 | of the fundamental difference between knowledge and perception. In | perception the whole is built up of parts, which can separate and |

Tx:8.80 | the Holy Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for | perception alone can be distorted. Only perception can be sick, |
Tx:8.80 | of the body, for perception alone can be distorted. Only | perception can be sick, because only perception can be wrong. |
Tx:8.80 | alone can be distorted. Only perception can be sick, because only | perception can be wrong. |
Tx:8.81 | Wrong | perception is distorted willing, which wants things to be as they |
Tx:8.93 | what you have hidden and perceive the Will of God there. His | perception of this will can make it real to you because He is in |
Tx:8.93 | He is in your mind and therefore He is your reality. If, then, His | perception of your mind brings its reality to you, He is teaching |
Tx:9.9 | is to overlook. Look, then, beyond error, and do not let your | perception rest upon it, for you will believe what your perception |
Tx:9.9 | let your perception rest upon it, for you will believe what your | perception holds. Accept as true only what your brother is if you |
Tx:9.27 | his acknowledgment, the therapist knows it is there. That is how | perception ultimately is translated into knowledge. The miracle |
Tx:9.27 | The miracle worker begins by perceiving light and translates his | perception into sureness by continually extending it and accepting |
Tx:9.41 | are, because you do not understand how lofty the Holy Spirit's | perception of you really is. He is not deceived by anything you do, |
Tx:9.42 | your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with its | perception of you. This is when it will shift abruptly from |
Tx:9.60 | you perceive is up to you, because your will determines your | perception of it. |
Tx:9.70 | return in exchange for yours is the exchange of knowledge for | perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your |
Tx:9.86 | unreality for what it is. This is the right use of selective | perception. To overlook nothingness is merely to judge it correctly, |
Tx:10.54 | The ego's interpretation of the laws of | perception are, and would have to be, the exact opposite of the |
Tx:10.56 | of the ego's demonstrations to those who would listen. Selective | perception chooses its witnesses carefully, and its witnesses are |
Tx:10.60 | and are answered together. There has been much confusion about what | perception means because the same word is used both for awareness and |
Tx:10.60 | it and therefore do not believe it. And if belief determines | perception, you do not perceive what it means and therefore do not |
Tx:10.69 | not perceiving at all. What, then, is the world that awaits your | perception when you see it? |
Tx:10.72 | The | perception of goodness is not knowledge, but the denial of the |
Tx:10.74 | believe it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real | perception will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an |
Tx:10.75 | Heaven. The re-interpretation of the world is the transfer of all | perception to knowledge. The Bible tells you to become as little |
Tx:10.76 | are not misguided; you have accepted no guide at all. Instruction in | perception is your great need, for you understand nothing. Recognize |
Tx:10.82 | because you believe that you can get by taking. And by that | perception, you have lost sight of the real world. You are afraid of |
Tx:10.86 | Do not accept your brother's variable | perception of himself, for his split mind is yours, and you will not |
Tx:11.4 | will be inappropriate to reality as it is but not to your | perception of it. This is poor reality testing by definition. There |
Tx:11.59 | Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, | perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become so holy |
Tx:11.59 | at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because | perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely |
Tx:11.59 | its applicability is universal. When this has been accomplished, | perception and knowledge have become so similar that they share the |
Tx:11.60 | is the reinstatement of knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy | perception of God's Son becomes so enlightened that light streams |
Tx:11.61 | to all situations, you will gain the real world. For in this holy | perception, you will be made whole, and the Atonement will radiate |
Tx:11.65 | You see what you expect, and you expect what you invite. Your | perception is the result of your invitation, coming to you as you |
Tx:11.65 | see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your | perception will reflect the guidance you chose. |
Tx:11.67 | up to you whether to project, for projection is a law of mind. | Perception is projection, and you look in before you look out. As |
Tx:11.80 | will answer every question you ask, and a Vision will correct the | perception of everything you see. For what you have made invisible is |
Tx:11.82 | what He does see is yours to behold, and through His vision your | perception is healed. You have made the invisible the only truth that |
Tx:11.84 | will make everything else invisible, for beholding it is total | perception. And as you look upon it, you will remember that it was |
Tx:11.84 | become invisible, for you will at last have seen truly. Redeemed | perception is easily translated into knowledge, for only perception |
Tx:11.84 | Redeemed perception is easily translated into knowledge, for only | perception is capable of error, and perception has never been. Being |
Tx:11.84 | into knowledge, for only perception is capable of error, and | perception has never been. Being corrected, it gives place to |
Tx:12.25 | death? You have been as selective in your questioning as in your | perception. An open mind is more honest than this. |
Tx:12.29 | the present is without meaning. It is evident that the Holy Spirit's | perception of time is the exact opposite of the ego's. The reason is |
Tx:12.35 | upon them, and he alone believes they answered him. Projection makes | perception, and you cannot see beyond it. Again and again have men |
Tx:12.42 | And He will not return unto the Father until He has extended your | perception even unto Him. And there perception is no more, for He has |
Tx:12.42 | until He has extended your perception even unto Him. And there | perception is no more, for He has returned you to the Father with Him. |
Tx:12.67 | for the Holy Spirit corrects the world of dreams, where all | perception is. Knowledge needs no correction. Yet the dreams of love |
Tx:12.71 | God's Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. However holy his | perception may become, no world outside himself holds his |
Tx:13.1 | unequivocally knows also that it dwells in eternity and utilizes no | perception at all. It therefore does not consider where it is because |
Tx:13.2 | The very real difference between | perception and knowledge becomes quite apparent if you consider this: |
Tx:13.2 | you. All knowledge must be yours, for in you is all knowledge. | Perception at its loftiest is never complete. Even the perception of |
Tx:13.2 | knowledge. Perception at its loftiest is never complete. Even the | perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as perception can be, is |
Tx:13.2 | complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as | perception can be, is without meaning in Heaven. Perception can reach |
Tx:13.2 | as perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in Heaven. | Perception can reach everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of |
Tx:13.2 | for the vision of Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no | perception, however holy, will last forever. |
Tx:13.3 | Perfect | perception, then, has many elements in common with knowledge, making |
Tx:13.5 | forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son of God is but the true | perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is the |
Tx:13.20 | real source of your guilt and keep from your awareness the full | perception that it is insane. Displacement always is maintained by |
Tx:13.38 | give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect | perception can merely show you what is capable of being wholly |
Tx:13.50 | the actual extent of its insanity. There is no area of your | perception that it has not touched, and your dream is sacred to |
Tx:14.24 | disappears in light, so ignorance fades away when knowledge dawns. | Perception is the medium by which ignorance is brought to knowledge. |
Tx:14.24 | is the medium by which ignorance is brought to knowledge. Yet the | perception must be without deceit, for otherwise it becomes the |
Tx:14.28 | on behalf of truth only because you made them against it. His | perception of them, according to His purpose, merely changes them |
Tx:14.30 | must prevail, and He will give it to you as you join your | perception to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you |
Tx:14.30 | the way in which you learn to share with Him the interpretation of | perception that leads to knowledge. |
Tx:14.31 | You cannot see alone. Sharing | perception with Him Whom God has given you teaches you how to |
Tx:14.46 | When no | perception stands between God and His creations, or between His |
Tx:14.47 | By sharing its reflection here, its truth becomes the only | perception the Son of God accepts. And thus, remembrance of his |
Tx:14.52 | to what a brother really offers you, but only to the particular | perception of his offering by which the ego judges it. |
Tx:15.19 | of ego support. As a result, they witness to the ego in your | perception and seem to provide reasons for not letting it go. Yet |
Tx:15.53 | you now. The holy instant parallels His knowing by bringing all | perception out of the past, thus removing the frame of reference you |
Tx:15.85 | As the ego would limit your | perception of your brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit |
Tx:15.85 | for it is permanent. For once you have accepted it as the only | perception you want, it is translated into knowledge by the part |
Tx:15.90 | You have no conception of the limits you have placed on your | perception and no idea of all the loveliness that you could see. But |
Tx:15.95 | possible to do this all at once because there is but one shift in | perception that is necessary, for you made but one mistake. It |
Tx:16.6 | bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His | perception and His strength that you would share. And let Him offer |
Tx:16.6 | that you would share. And let Him offer you His strength and His | perception to be shared through you. |
Tx:16.12 | and what is natural to Him is natural to you. Wholly natural | perception would show you instantly that order of difficulty in |
Tx:16.13 | you and have offered it to Him to use as He knows how, His natural | perception of your gift enables Him to understand it and you to |
Tx:16.51 | could value specialness. The demand for specialness and the | perception of the giving of specialness as an act of love would make |
Tx:16.61 | is a device for limiting your self to a body and for limiting your | perception of others to theirs. The Great Rays would establish the |
Tx:17.9 | And with this final blessing of God's Son upon himself, the real | perception, born of the new perspective he has learned, has served |
Tx:17.10 | light, and the sun which opened up the world to beauty will vanish. | Perception will be meaningless when it has been perfected, for |
Tx:17.10 | no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations which made | perception possible will occur. The perception of the real world will |
Tx:17.10 | no variations which made perception possible will occur. The | perception of the real world will be so short that you will barely |
Tx:17.11 | the world you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of | perception will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind |
Tx:17.12 | across chaos and removing all illusions which had twisted your | perception and fixed it on the past. The smallest leaf becomes a |
Tx:17.17 | not there. Even the body of the other, already a severely limited | perception of him, is not the central focus as it is or in entirety. |
Tx:17.20 | the present by increasing its reality and its value in your | perception of it. In these loving thoughts is the spark of beauty |
Tx:17.26 | relationship to you be real to you, and let me bring reality to your | perception of your brothers. They were not created to enable you to |
Tx:17.44 | The holy relationship, a major step toward the | perception of the real world, is learned. It is the old unholy |
Tx:17.47 | of view of this new purpose, they are inevitably appalled. Their | perception of the relationship may even become quite disorganized. |
Tx:17.47 | become quite disorganized. And yet, the former organization of their | perception no longer serves the purpose they have agreed to meet. |
Tx:18.3 | variable behavior, a far more serious effect lies in the fragmented | perception from which the behavior stems. No one is seen complete. |
Tx:18.15 | with what is true. They are the best example you could have of how | perception can be utilized to substitute illusions for truth. You do |
Tx:18.53 | the shift from fantasies of vengeance to release from them? Your | perception of the body can clearly be sick, but project not this upon |
Tx:18.91 | rise in your imagination, and from the clouds the messengers of your | perception return to you, assuring you that it is all there. Figures |
Tx:18.93 | you forgiven, for here you have forgiven everyone. Here is the new | perception, where everything is bright and shining with innocence, |
Tx:18.98 | only purpose will be creating. Yet this you cannot know until every | perception has been cleansed and purified and finally removed |
Tx:18.98 | and sure within its gentleness to the bright world of new and clean | perception. There is your purpose now. And it is there that peace |
Tx:19.4 | faithlessness leads straight to illusions. For faithlessness is the | perception of a brother as a body, and the body cannot be used for |
Tx:19.12 | to bodies for its justification. It is the messenger of the new | perception sent forth to gather witnesses unto its coming and to |
Tx:19.12 | as is the real world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit's | perception and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith is a gift you |
Tx:19.27 | but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not really a change in your | perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, not error. The |
Tx:19.29 | the plane, the line seems discontinuous. And this is but an error in | perception which can be easily corrected in the mind, although the |
Tx:19.30 | this can be corrected by the mind. But sin is the belief that your | perception is unchangeable and that the mind must accept as true what |
Tx:19.30 | obey, the mind is judged insane. The only power which could change | perception is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the fear of |
Tx:19.30 | is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the fear of changed | perception which its teacher, who is one with it, would bring. |
Tx:19.32 | sin is precious. For the belief that bodies limit mind leads to a | perception of the world in which the proof of separation seems to be |
Tx:19.34 | blessing on your sight. You will not see it long. For in the new | perception, the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it |
Tx:19.35 | sin will not prevail against a union Heaven has smiled upon. Your | perception was healed in the holy instant Heaven gave you. Forget |
Tx:19.50 | of death and laying them respectfully before their lord and master. | Perception cannot obey two masters, each asking for messages of |
Tx:19.51 | which guilt holds for fear is wholly absent from love's gentle | perception. What love would look upon is meaningless to fear and |
Tx:19.61 | not see that this is the belief in death? Here is the focus of the | perception of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the idea |
Tx:19.67 | communion, where we are joined already, will be the focus of the new | perception that will bring light to all the world, contained in you. |
Tx:19.72 | existence. This, then, is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this | perception, the body becomes the servant of pain, seeking it |
Tx:20.16 | sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a change; a shift in | perception or a belief that what was so before has been made |
Tx:20.16 | shift or change is undertaken. For this reduces it at once to mere | perception—a way of looking in which certainty is lost and doubt |
Tx:20.18 | to you. Nor is there any difference between yourself and it in your | perception, which made them both. |
Tx:20.21 | it and whispered, “What are you?” And He Who watches over all | perception answered. Take not the judgment of the world as answer to |
Tx:21.1 | Projection makes | perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than |
Tx:21.1 | to change the world, but will to change your mind about the world. | Perception is a result, not a cause. And that is why order of |
Tx:21.24 | to make it fit the goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the | perception of a fearful world to justify its purpose. What you desire |
Tx:21.33 | but strong in faith in his illusions about himself. For faith, | perception, and belief you made as means for losing certainty and |
Tx:21.34 | He sees their value as a means for what He wills for you. You made | perception that you might choose among your brothers and seek for sin |
Tx:21.34 | among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees | perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a holy |
Tx:21.40 | you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave | perception and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be |
Tx:21.49 | | Perception selects and makes the world you see. It literally picks it |
Tx:21.49 | screams and senseless ravings to those who want to hear it. | Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this choice depends |
Tx:21.49 | choose to see, depends entirely your whole belief in what you are. | Perception is a witness but to this and never to reality. Yet it |
Tx:21.56 | Faith and | perception and belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's |
Tx:21.56 | to fit its end. Faith and belief are strong in madness, guiding | perception toward what the mind has valued. But reason enters not at |
Tx:21.56 | the mind has valued. But reason enters not at all in this. For the | perception would fall away at once if reason were applied. There is |
Tx:21.58 | Faith and belief, upheld by reason, cannot fail to lead to changed | perception. And in this change is room made way for vision. Vision |
Tx:22.1 | see it in the same place and time. Sin is a strictly individual | perception, seen in the other yet believed by each to be within |
Tx:22.14 | Here is the first direct | perception that you have made. You made it through awareness older |
Tx:22.14 | that you have made. You made it through awareness older than | perception and yet reborn in just an instant. For what is time to |
Tx:22.32 | Everything which the body's eyes can see is a mistake, an error in | perception, a distorted fragment of the whole, without the meaning |
Tx:22.33 | to look on error and not see past it. Theirs is indeed a strange | perception, for they can see only illusions, unable to look beyond |
Tx:22.34 | unable to go beyond the form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as | perception of form. For sight of form means understanding has been |
Tx:22.35 | were. What cannot see beyond what is not there must be distorted | perception and must perceive illusions as the truth. Could it then |
Tx:22.36 | can see. Let your awareness of your brother not be blocked by your | perception of his sins and of his body. What is there in him that you |
Tx:24.69 | them as if they were. It is essential it be kept in mind that all | perception still is upside down until its purpose has been |
Tx:24.69 | still is upside down until its purpose has been understood. | Perception does not seem to be a means. And it is this that makes |
Tx:24.69 | the whole extent to which it must depend on what you see it for. | Perception seems to teach you what you see. Yet it but witnesses to |
Tx:24.72 | man perceives an alien will and wishes it were so. And thus does his | perception serve his wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can |
Tx:24.72 | perception serve his wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can | perception serve another goal. It is not bound to specialness but by |
Tx:24.72 | choice. And it is given you to make a different choice and use | perception for a different purpose. And what you see will serve that |
Tx:25.5 | the Christ in you except you look on holiness and see Him there? | Perception tells you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the |
Tx:25.6 | | Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to be—the world |
Tx:25.6 | witness unto anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not. | Perception is a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means |
Tx:25.23 | is there, and you believe it there because you want it there. | Perception has no other law than this. The rest but stems from this, |
Tx:25.24 | God's laws do not obtain directly to a world | perception rules, for such a world could not have been created by the |
Tx:25.24 | for such a world could not have been created by the Mind to which | perception has no meaning. Yet are His laws reflected everywhere. Not |
Tx:25.25 | | Perception rests on choosing; knowledge does not. Knowledge has but |
Tx:25.25 | illusions which it would make real. Not one but it upholds in its | perception; not one but can be fully justified. |
Tx:25.26 | Maker Who can reconcile its goal with His Creator's purpose. In His | perception of the world, nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness |
Tx:25.30 | And therefore it need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed belief | perception cannot change. What has been damned is damned and damned |
Tx:25.30 | forever, being forever unforgivable. If then it is forgiven, sin's | perception must have been wrong. And thus is change made possible. |
Tx:25.46 | Such is the Holy Spirit's kind | perception of specialness—His use of what you made, to heal instead |
Tx:25.54 | world you see to something else—a basis not insane on which a sane | perception can be based, another world perceived. And one in which |
Tx:25.80 | must be corrected because it is unfair. And every error is a | perception in which one at least is seen unfairly. Thus is justice |
Tx:25.81 | makes punishment impossible and justice sure. The Holy Spirit's | perception leaves no ground for an attack. Only a loss could |
Tx:26.3 | part, remaining incomplete to keep its own identity intact. In this | perception of yourself, the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed. |
Tx:26.11 | out so no one loses, is the problem gone, because it was an error in | perception which now has been corrected. One mistake is not more |
Tx:26.20 | universe made true. This is because knowledge makes no attack upon | perception. They are brought together, and only one continues past |
Tx:26.21 | It is the judgment of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on | perception—it has no meaning and does not exist. This is not your |
Tx:26.22 | Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only | perception needs salvation. Heaven was never lost and so cannot be |
Tx:26.23 | world is the area of choice made real, not in the outcome but in the | perception of alternatives for choice. That there is choice is an |
Tx:26.43 | long ago. Look gently on each other and behold the world in which | perception of your hate has been transformed into a world of love. |
Tx:26.48 | built on sin. The Son of God perceives what he would see, because | perception is a wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take |
Tx:26.48 | what he would see, because perception is a wish fulfilled. | Perception changes, made to take the place of changeless knowledge. |
Tx:26.54 | little space to him. This separating off is symbolized in your | perception by a body which is clearly separate and a thing apart. Yet |
Tx:26.69 | and a little watchful of interests perceived as separate. From this | perception you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers |
Tx:26.85 | Their Presence. They are known with clarity or not at all. Confused | perception will block knowledge. It is not a question of the size of |
Tx:27.25 | Consider how this self | perception must extend, and do not overlook the fact that every |
Tx:27.26 | outside yourself on one who cannot be a part of you while this | perception lasts. What is condemned can never be returned to its |
Tx:28.2 | if you did not desire its effects? Remembering is as selective as | perception, being its past tense. It is perception of the past as if |
Tx:28.2 | is as selective as perception, being its past tense. It is | perception of the past as if it were occurring now and still were |
Tx:28.2 | if it were occurring now and still were there to see. Memory, like | perception, is a skill made up by you to take the place of what God |
Tx:28.7 | a cause so ancient that it far exceeds the span of memory which your | perception sees. |
Tx:30.84 | have. Can this be meaning? Can confusion be what meaning means? | Perception cannot be in constant flux and make allowance for |
Tx:30.85 | A common purpose is the only means whereby | perception can be stabilized and one interpretation given to the |
Tx:30.86 | from this idea. And it is this idea of different goals which makes | perception shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this |
Tx:31.57 | the self embraces all you look upon, and nothing is outside of this | perception. If you can be hurt by anything, you see a picture of your |
Tx:31.58 | Each one will show the changes in your own relationships as your | perception of yourself is changed. There will be some confusion every |
Tx:31.64 | and the good and must be passed that both may disappear, so that | perception finds no hiding place. How is this done? It is not done at |
Tx:31.68 | kinds of change you could not recognize. Concepts are needed while | perception lasts, and changing concepts is salvation's task. For it |
W1:I.3 | The purpose of these exercises is to train the mind to a different | perception of everything in the world. The workbook is divided into |
W1:15.3 | at last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize true | perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These exercises |
W1:16.2 | concept than that of “idle thoughts.” What gives rise to the | perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought |
W1:17.1 | but you must learn that it is the way you think. If it were not so, | perception would have no cause and would itself be the cause of |
W1:18.2 | the exercises for today will emphasize this aspect of your | perception. The three or four practice periods which are recommended |
W1:21.6 | person, believing that the anger is limited to this aspect. If your | perception of the person is suffering from this form of distortion, |
W1:23.1 | you see. It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work if your | perception of the world is to be changed. |
W1:24.1 | and no way of judging the result. What you do is determined by your | perception of the situation, and that perception is wrong. It is |
W1:24.1 | you do is determined by your perception of the situation, and that | perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you will not serve |
W1:26.3 | is to weaken you in your own eyes. Thus they have attacked your | perception of yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no |
W1:33.1 | Today's idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your | perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects. A full |
W1:34.1 | then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful | perception of the world arises. |
W1:35.5 | emphasize what you consider to be the more negative aspects of your | perception of yourself. Toward the latter part of the exercise |
W1:43.1 | | Perception is not an attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge. |
W1:43.1 | Yet He has created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between | perception and knowledge. Without this link with God, perception |
W1:43.1 | between perception and knowledge. Without this link with God, | perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your minds. With |
W1:43.1 | replaced knowledge forever in your minds. With this link with God, | perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to |
W1:43.2 | In God you cannot see. | Perception has no function in God and does not exist. Yet in |
W1:43.2 | not exist. Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, | perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy |
W1:43.2 | the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness. | Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning |
W1:43.2 | does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed | perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his |
W1:55.3 | give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this | perception of the world and give me the peace God intended me to have. |
W1:58.2 | My holiness envelops everything I see. From my holiness does the | perception of the real world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see |
W1:58.3 | [37] My holiness blesses the world. The | perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. Everyone and |
W1:64.2 | learn to forgive yourself what you think of as your sins. In this | perception, the physical appearance of temptation becomes the |
W1:66.13 | Today's idea is another giant stride in the | perception of the same as the same and the different as different. On |
W1:68.6 | of some sort. This has left you alone in all the universe in your | perception of yourself. |
W1:72.9 | on salvation. We will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down | perception has been ruinous to your peace of mind. You have seen |
W1:79.4 | a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer. This | perception places you in a position in which your problem solving |
W1:83.4 | My | perception of this does not change my function. This does not give |

W1:121.12 | Look at this changed | perception for a while, and turn your mind to one you call a friend. |
W1:126.2 | your own. You further think that they can sin without affecting your | perception of yourself, while you can judge their sin and yet remain |
W1:130.1 | | Perception is consistent. What you see reflects your thinking. And |
W1:130.2 | its weapon is—that which you fear to see you cannot see. Love and | perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in darkness what |

W1:130.10 | truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is | perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have |
W1:130.11 | the real, the false or true is what you see, and only what you see. | Perception is consistent with your choice, and hell or Heaven comes |

W1:181.9 | all we want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of true | perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He |
W1:184.2 | off all things from one another is the means by which the world's | perception is achieved. You see something where nothing is and see as |
W1:184.3 | as separate awarenesses? You gave these names to them, establishing | perception as you wished to have perception be. The nameless things |
W1:184.3 | these names to them, establishing perception as you wished to have | perception be. The nameless things were given names and thus reality |

W1:184.7 | starting point from which another kind of learning can begin, a new | perception can be gained, and all the arbitrary names the world |
W1:187.1 | you would give. It is the second phase on which the world and true | perception differ. Having had and given, then the world asserts that |
W1:188.2 | that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. There | perception starts, and there it ends. It has no source but this. |

W1:193.11 | to perceive the lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the | perception? If it does, be sure the lesson is not learned. And there |
W1:194.7 | certainty of care the world can never threaten. He is sure that his | perception may be faulty but will never lack correction. He is free |
W1:194.8 | to gain thereby and every living creature not respond with healed | perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the world |
W1:198.2 | a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the law that rules | perception. It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom |

W2:WIW.1 | The world is false | perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It |
W2:WIW.2 | could enter not and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here was | perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts. |

W2:269.1 | through the Guide You gave to me and through His lessons to surpass | perception and return to truth. I ask for the illusion which |
W2:WIC.5 | As we behold His glory will we know we have no need of learning or | perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ |
W2:271.1 | the world and God's creation meet, and as they come together, all | perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from death. |
W2:WIHS.1 | and the truth. As He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, | perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given |
W2:WIRW.1 | The real world is a symbol like the rest of what | perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you |
W2:WIRW.4 | he is redeemed. The real world signifies the end of time, for its | perception makes time purposeless. |
W2:WIRW.5 | for God to take His final step, and time has disappeared, taking | perception with it as it goes and leaving but the Truth to be Itself. |
W2:300.1 | or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea that lets no false | perception keep us in its hold nor represent more than a passing |
W2:304.1 | holy sights Christ looks upon unless it is His vision that I use. | Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of |
W2:308.1 | aim. If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my | perception of what time is for. Time's purpose cannot be to keep the |
W2:WILJ.1 | what is true has never changed. And this the judgment is in which | perception ends. At first you see a world which has accepted this as |
W2:WILJ.1 | true, projected from a now corrected mind. And with this holy sight, | perception gives a silent blessing and then disappears, its goal |
W2:312.1 | | Perception follows judgment. Having judged, you therefore see what |
W2:313.1 | for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true | perception come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and |
W2:314.1 | From new | perception of the world there comes a future very different from the |
W2:334.1 | gone, even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false | perception. Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. God's |
W2:335.1 | is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond | perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see because it |
W2:336.1 | means appointed for perception's ending. Knowledge is restored after | perception first is changed and then gives way entirely to what |
W2:WIM.1 | it sees is false. It undoes error but does not attempt to go beyond | perception nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays |
W2:WIM.2 | because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts | perception which was upside-down before, and thus it ends the strange |
W2:WIM.2 | and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is | perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified. |
W2:WIM.3 | of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. | Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse |
W2:346.1 | Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my | perception of all things. And so begins the day I share with You as I |
W2:351.1 | not a Son of God, alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this | perception is a choice I make and can relinquish. I can also see my |
M:4.3 | foundation on which their ability to fulfill their function rests. | Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is |
M:4.3 | their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact, | perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated. |
M:8.1 | The belief in order of difficulties is the basis for the world's | perception. It rests on differences; on uneven background and |
M:8.3 | through differences. Yet it is not the messages they bring on which | perception rests. Only the mind evaluates their messages, so only the |
M:8.4 | sorting out and categorizing activities of the mind that errors in | perception enter. And it is here correction must be made. The mind |
M:8.5 | the devils he sees carrying affect their credibility in his | perception? His Mind has categorized them as real, and so they are |
M:10.3 | way. And one would have to be certain there is no distortion in his | perception, so that his judgment would be wholly fair to everyone on |
M:10.4 | And He is wholly fair to everyone, for there is no distortion in His | perception. |
M:12.1 | limitless, His Thoughts are joined with God's forever and ever. His | perception of Himself is based upon God's Judgment, not His own. Thus |

M:19.5 | God's justice, and do not confuse His mercy with your own insanity. | Perception can make whatever picture the mind desires to see. |
M:19.5 | all attack and condemnation becomes meaningless and indefensible. | Perception rests, the mind is still, and light returns again. Vision |

Tx:3.17 | only blessing. It could not do this if it arose from anything but | perfect innocence. Innocence is wisdom because it is unaware of evil, |
Tx:3.18 | light abolishes all forms of darkness. The Atonement is thus the | perfect lesson. It is the final demonstration that all of the other |

Tx:6.76 | begin to realize the quiet power of the Holy Spirit's Voice and its | perfect consistency, it must dawn on your minds that you are |
Tx:6.84 | falsely. God Himself has established what you can project with | perfect safety. Therefore, the Holy Spirit's third lesson is: |
Tx:6.91 | God and His Kingdom is assailed by any doubts in your minds, His | perfect accomplishment is not apparent to you. This is why you must |
Tx:6.95 | since it is already true and needs no protection. It is in the | perfect safety of God. Therefore inclusion is total and creation is |
Tx:7.6 | certainty of what you are and to create like Him is to share the | perfect love He shares with you. To this the Holy Spirit leads you |
Tx:7.13 | them as different [and] conflicting, because minds can be in | perfect accord. |
Tx:7.16 | the same, and only the meaning matters. God's law of Creation in | perfect form does not involve the use of truth to convince His Sons |
Tx:7.18 | What can the | perfect consistency of the Kingdom mean to the confused? It is |
Tx:7.28 | they perceive any of their brothers as anything other than their | perfect equals, the idea of competition has entered their minds. Do |
Tx:7.30 | nothing questionable enters their minds. This holds them in | perfect serenity, because this is what they share, knowing what |
Tx:7.50 | which can only be created as you were. The whole glory and | perfect joy that is the Kingdom lies in you to give. Do you not |
Tx:7.69 | God's, and nothing that opposes this means anything at all. Being a | perfect accomplishment, the Sonship can only accomplish perfectly, |
Tx:7.81 | you to perceive any part of creation as wholly real, wholly | perfect, and wholly desirable. Wanting this only, you will have |
Tx:7.94 | impossible and extension inevitable. That is why there is | perfect peace in the Kingdom. Every Soul is fulfilling its |
Tx:7.96 | is as boundless as God's. Like His, it extends forever and in | perfect peace. Its radiance is so intense that it creates in perfect |
Tx:7.96 | and in perfect peace. Its radiance is so intense that it creates in | perfect joy, and only the whole can be born of its wholeness. |

Tx:8.18 | This is perfect creation by the perfectly created in union with | Perfect Creator. The Father must give fatherhood to His Son, |
Tx:8.32 | freedom? Freedom cannot be learned by tyranny of any kind, and the | perfect equality of all God's Sons cannot be recognized through the |
Tx:8.36 | because it is undivided. The undivided will of the Sonship is the | perfect creator, being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it |
Tx:8.39 | in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and I can share [my | perfect confidence in His promise, because I know He gave me] this |
Tx:8.87 | The Bible enjoins you to be | perfect, to heal all errors, to take no thought of the body as |
Tx:8.104 | what you are devoted to. Otherwise, you would not have been created | perfect. Reality is everything, and therefore you have everything |
Tx:9.1 | right and good to point out errors and “correct” them. This makes | perfect sense to the ego, which is totally unaware of what errors |
Tx:9.37 | with a mind like His. In your open mind are your creations, in | perfect communication born of perfect understanding. Could you but |
Tx:9.37 | open mind are your creations, in perfect communication born of | perfect understanding. Could you but accept one of them, you would |
Tx:9.38 | will not return, but because delay of joy is needless. God wills you | perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not also your |
Tx:9.81 | You could accept peace now for everyone you meet and offer them | perfect freedom from all illusions because you heard. But have no |
Tx:9.83 | cannot be fearful. You have chosen to fear love because of its | perfect harmlessness, and because of this fear, you have been willing |
Tx:9.83 | and because of this fear, you have been willing to give up your own | perfect helpfulness and your own perfect Help. |
Tx:9.83 | been willing to give up your own perfect helpfulness and your own | perfect Help. |
Tx:9.85 | Sickness and perfection are irreconcilable. If God created you | perfect, you are perfect. If you believe you can be sick, you have |
Tx:9.85 | are irreconcilable. If God created you perfect, you are | perfect. If you believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods |
Tx:9.104 | are refusals to accept creation as it is. If God created His Son | perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to learn of his |
Tx:10.2 | Make no mistake about this. It sounds insane when it is stated with | perfect honesty, but the ego never looks upon what it does with |
Tx:10.2 | with perfect honesty, but the ego never looks upon what it does with | perfect honesty. Yet that is its insane premise, which is carefully |
Tx:10.3 | of the ego's thought system bravely. Be willing to judge it with | perfect honesty. Open the dark cornerstone of terror on which it |
Tx:10.16 | He wills you Himself. And you will yourself to Him because, in your | perfect understanding of Him, you know there is but one will. Yet |
Tx:10.16 | attack any part of God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not | perfect, and what you will is therefore lost to you. |
Tx:10.21 | and are willing to let it grow. Your willingness need not be | perfect, because His is. If you will merely offer Him a little |
Tx:10.37 | Christ is the extension of the love and the loveliness of God, as | perfect as his Creator and at peace with Him. |
Tx:10.38 | in the Son, for there is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the | perfect love of the Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, |
Tx:11.21 | There is no fear in | perfect love. We will but be making perfect to you what is already |
Tx:11.21 | There is no fear in perfect love. We will but be making | perfect to you what is already perfect in you. You do not fear |
Tx:11.21 | perfect love. We will but be making perfect to you what is already | perfect in you. You do not fear the unknown, but the known. You |
Tx:11.23 | that is not of God is gone. Yet you must reveal it to yourself in | perfect willingness, for otherwise His knowledge remains useless to |
Tx:11.46 | trust your own love when you have attacked it. You cannot learn of | perfect love with a split mind because a split mind has made itself |
Tx:11.57 | for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is | perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He will show you |
Tx:11.58 | love for Him. And knowing this, He would give you what is yours. In | perfect peace He waits for you at His Father's altar, holding out the |
Tx:11.60 | in it has always been. There the Redeemer and the redeemed join in | perfect love of God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and being |
Tx:11.71 | place, you could have looked upon me and all your brothers in the | perfect safety of the mind which created us. For we are there in the |
Tx:11.78 | protection and cannot fear. His Father's love holds him in | perfect peace, and needing nothing, he asks for nothing. Yet he is |
Tx:11.79 | it cannot be invisible in itself, for the Holy Spirit sees it with | perfect clarity. It is invisible to you because you are looking at |
Tx:11.82 | upon him and sees nothing else in you. What is invisible to you is | perfect in His sight and encompasses all of it. He has remembered |
Tx:11.94 | God's Son. You have denied the condition of his Being, which is his | perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was created, and in love he |
Tx:12.43 | darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless Son within you, shining in | perfect radiance, which is undimmed by your dreams. And this you |
Tx:12.51 | refusing to accept the light that is offered you. For the light of | perfect vision is freely given as it is freely received and can be |
Tx:12.65 | him without end or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can never be. In | perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all about him and within |
Tx:12.67 | to what you have not lost. Praise, then, the Father for the | perfect sanity of His most holy Son. |
Tx:13.2 | is never complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as | perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in Heaven. |
Tx:13.3 | | Perfect perception, then, has many elements in common with knowledge, |
Tx:13.9 | to] your fatherhood in Heaven. The miracle which God created is | perfect, as are the miracles which you created in His name. They |
Tx:13.19 | Within you is the holy sign of | perfect faith your Father has in you. He does not value you as you |
Tx:13.19 | not of differences. Can you see guilt where God knows there is | perfect innocence? You can deny His knowledge, but you cannot |
Tx:13.28 | Him. Yet it is forever true. In shining peace within you is the | perfect purity in which you were created. Fear not to look upon the |
Tx:13.29 | He would have you see. And in Christ's vision, He would show you the | perfect purity that is forever within God's Son. |
Tx:13.38 | can give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. | Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of being |
Tx:13.38 | for you, allowing Him to demonstrate which must be true. He has | perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows that He will |
Tx:13.71 | and teach him that whatever he may try to do to you, your | perfect freedom from the belief that you can be harmed shows him he |
Tx:13.76 | value of His Son? Nothing can shake God's conviction of the | perfect purity of everything that He created, for it is wholly |
Tx:13.79 | loving mind wherein he was created and where his abode was fixed in | perfect peace forever. |
Tx:13.90 | therefore, be anyone without His Holiness nor anyone unworthy of His | perfect Love. Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place |
Tx:14.2 | resembles it ever so faintly. You cannot even give a blessing in | perfect gentleness. Would you know of One Who gives forever and Who |
Tx:14.6 | God would not have you bound by it. His plan for your awaking is as | perfect as yours is fallible. You know not what you do, but He Who |
Tx:14.7 | share His shining innocence. Creation is the natural extension of | perfect purity. Your only calling here is to devote yourself with |
Tx:14.11 | in what is for all in everyone you bring within its safety and its | perfect peace. |
Tx:14.12 | who becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the acknowledgment of | perfect purity from which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle |
Tx:14.13 | power that He has given him. Believe not that you cannot teach His | perfect peace. Stand not outside but join with me within. Fail not |
Tx:14.17 | The quiet light in which the Holy Spirit dwells within you is merely | perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is |
Tx:14.21 | what you would communicate to Him. He will interpret it to you with | perfect clarity, for He knows with Whom you are in perfect |
Tx:14.21 | it to you with perfect clarity, for He knows with Whom you are in | perfect communication. |
Tx:14.63 | kind, and if all those who meet or even think of you share in your | perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have learned God's |
Tx:14.63 | which hurt and hinder you and everyone around you. The absence of | perfect peace means but one thing: you think you do not will for |
Tx:14.72 | know. Think not you understand anything until you pass the test of | perfect peace, for peace and understanding go together and never can |
Tx:15.14 | holiness. How long is an instant? As long as it takes to reestablish | perfect sanity, perfect peace, and perfect love for everyone, for |
Tx:15.14 | is an instant? As long as it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, | perfect peace, and perfect love for everyone, for God, and for |
Tx:15.14 | long as it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect peace, and | perfect love for everyone, for God, and for yourself. As long as it |
Tx:15.15 | that eternity may be remembered for you in that shining instant of | perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the |
Tx:15.20 | not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you will recognize it with | perfect certainty. No gift of God is recognized in any other way. You |
Tx:15.25 | to protect your magnitude in this world. To hold your magnitude in | perfect awareness in a world of littleness is a task the little |
Tx:15.27 | can hold your magnitude, clean of all littleness, clearly and in | perfect safety in your minds, untouched by every little gift the |
Tx:15.31 | a manger but into the altar to holiness, where holiness abides in | perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this world because it is in |
Tx:15.37 | for its release from littleness. God would have His host abide in | perfect freedom. Every allegiance to a plan of salvation that is |
Tx:15.38 | Would you learn how | perfect and immaculate is the holy altar on which your Father has |
Tx:15.40 | is this: The holy instant is a time in which you receive and give | perfect communication. This means, however, that it is a time in |
Tx:15.41 | and keep them? The only way you could do that is to deny the | perfect communication that makes the holy instant what it is. You |
Tx:15.42 | off because you would have it so. It is impossible to recognize | perfect communication while breaking communication holds value to |
Tx:15.42 | holds value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I want to have | perfect communication, and am I wholly willing to let everything that |
Tx:15.43 | there were no need for Atonement. You will not be able to accept | perfect communication as long as you would hide it from yourself. |
Tx:15.48 | love where fear has entered cannot be depended on because it is not | perfect. In His function as Interpreter of what you have made, the |
Tx:15.56 | commitments, yet they do not conflict with one another in any way. | Perfect faith in each one for its ability to satisfy you completely |
Tx:15.56 | one for its ability to satisfy you completely arises only from | perfect faith in yourself. And this you cannot have while guilt |
Tx:15.57 | faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that | perfect love is in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot |
Tx:15.57 | you seek without for what you cannot find without. I offer you my | perfect faith in you in place of all your doubt. But forget not that |
Tx:15.57 | in place of all your doubt. But forget not that my faith must be as | perfect in all your brothers as it is in you, or it would be a |
Tx:15.60 | For gain and loss are both accepted, and so no one is aware that | perfect love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize the idea |
Tx:15.82 | but an instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure your | perfect creation. This was His gift, for as He withheld Himself not |
Tx:15.92 | It is in your power in time to delay the | perfect union of the Father and the Son. For in this world, the |
Tx:15.102 | cradles God in the time of Christ, for the Host is as holy as the | Perfect Innocence which He protects and Whose power protects Him. |
Tx:15.110 | in which a new year will be born from the time of Christ. I have | perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing |
Tx:16.14 | it, has not happened? Yet this is your position. You would have | perfect faith in the Holy Spirit and in the effects of His teaching |
Tx:16.17 | Could you not look with greater charity on whom God loves with | perfect love? |
Tx:16.27 | has no limits and no end, and there is nothing in Him that is not | perfect and eternal. All this is you, and nothing outside of this |
Tx:16.31 | unwilling now. You are too near, and you will cross the bridge in | perfect safety, translated quietly from war to peace. For the |
Tx:16.38 | by your completion. Fear not to cross to the abode of peace and | perfect holiness. Only there is the completion of God and of His Son |
Tx:16.62 | without and nothing taken in. If one such union were made in | perfect faith, the universe would enter into it. Yet the special |
Tx:16.69 | And your willingness need not be complete because His is | perfect. It is His task to atone for your unwillingness by His |
Tx:16.69 | is perfect. It is His task to atone for your unwillingness by His | perfect faith, and it is His faith you share with Him there. Out of |
Tx:16.75 | has disappeared. The stillness and the peace of now enfolds you in | perfect gentleness. Everything is gone except the truth. |
Tx:16.81 | Yours. What can there be in us that needs forgiveness when Yours is | perfect? The sleep of forgetfulness is only the unwillingness to |
Tx:17.9 | All else is learned, but this is given, complete and wholly | perfect. No one but Him Who planned salvation could complete it thus. |
Tx:17.21 | The Holy Spirit wills only to make His resolutions complete and | perfect, and so He seeks and finds the source of problems where it |
Tx:17.39 | is framed to be out of focus and not seen. The other is framed for | perfect clarity. The picture of darkness and of death grows less |
Tx:17.42 | it they are one. For here is only healing, already complete and | perfect. For here is God, and where He is, only the perfect and |
Tx:17.42 | complete and perfect. For here is God, and where He is, only the | perfect and complete can be. |
Tx:17.70 | how great the strength that goes with you. And you can use this in | perfect safety. Yet for all its might, so great it reaches past the |
Tx:17.74 | has not forced any exclusion on it. It is a situation of | perfect peace simply because you have let it be what it is. |
Tx:18.9 | in common in reality. Within yourselves you love each other with a | perfect love. Here is holy ground in which no substitution can enter |
Tx:18.10 | not joined together in illusions but in the Thought so holy and so | perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken the holy place in |
Tx:18.10 | Him in peace and gratitude and accept His gift as our most holy and | perfect reality, which we share in Him. |
Tx:18.49 | Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of | perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing |
Tx:19.82 | have another dedication which would keep the body incorruptible and | perfect as long as it is useful for your holy purpose. The body no |
Tx:19.87 | full communication with God and you. In its tiny hands, it holds in | perfect safety every miracle you will perform, held out to you. The |
Tx:19.100 | and you do share in it until you look upon each other with | perfect faith and love and tenderness. Before complete forgiveness, |
Tx:20.2 | expression. This week we celebrate life, not death. And we honor the | perfect purity of the Son of God and not his sins. Offer each other |
Tx:20.25 | be crucified beside you. And yet his holiness remained untouched and | perfect, and with him beside you, you shall this day enter with him |
Tx:20.26 | and joining without limit. For what is Heaven but union, direct and | perfect, and without the veil of fear upon it? Here are we one, |
Tx:20.26 | and without the veil of fear upon it? Here are we one, looking with | perfect gentleness upon each other and on ourselves. Here all |
Tx:20.27 | faith with me and know that it is justified. There is no fear in | perfect love because it knows no sin and it must look on others as |
Tx:20.42 | Here is the loveliness of your relationship, with means and end in | perfect harmony already. Here is the perfect faith that you will |
Tx:20.42 | with means and end in perfect harmony already. Here is the | perfect faith that you will one day offer to each other already |
Tx:20.44 | Be comforted and feel the Holy Spirit watching over you in love and | perfect confidence in what He sees. He knows the Son of God and |
Tx:20.45 | between him and his Father. His real relationship is one of | perfect union and unbroken continuity. The one he made is partial, |
Tx:20.71 | and need for help unto the helpless? Is the pitifully little the | perfect choice to call upon for strength? Judgment will seem to |
Tx:21.10 | with no break or limit anywhere. Within it everything is joined in | perfect continuity. Nor is it possible to imagine that anything could |
Tx:22.13 | that drew them gently into one. Rather, in each the other saw a | perfect shelter where his Self could be reborn in safety and in |
Tx:22.28 | sin still tempts you to remain in misery? Heaven is the home of | perfect purity, and God created it for you. Look on your holy |
Tx:22.34 | was its maker's goal but not to see? For this the body's eyes are | perfect means, but not for seeing. See how the body's eyes rest on |

Tx:29.61 | a dream. A dream of judgment came into the mind that God created | perfect as Himself. And in that dream was Heaven changed to hell, and |
Tx:30.22 | coerced but merely hope to get a thing you want. And you can say in | perfect honesty, |
Tx:30.34 | but ensured that you would never lose your will when He gave you His | perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and |

W1:61.4 | want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the | perfect answer to all illusions and therefore to all temptation. It |

W1:77.10 | Remember, too, not to be satisfied with less than the | perfect answer. Be quick to tell yourself, should you be tempted: |
W1:88.5 | [76] I am under no laws but God's. Here is the | perfect statement of my freedom. I am under no laws but God's. I am |
W1:95.1 | yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your | perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this |
W1:95.3 | today to be aware of only what can hear and see and what makes | perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching |
W1:95.17 | to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One Self, in | perfect harmony with all there is and all that there will be. You are |

W1:100.2 | God's Will for you is | perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go against His Will? The |
W1:100.4 | joy heals sorrow and despair. They are the proof that God wills | perfect happiness for all who will accept their Father's gifts as |
W1:101.6 | because it is the basis for today's idea. God's Will for you is | perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is |
W1:101.8 | God's Will for me is | perfect happiness. There is no sin; it has no consequence. |
W1:101.11 | God's Will for me is | perfect happiness. This is the truth because there is no sin. |

W1:131.6 | remains in hell, for no one can abandon his Creator nor affect His | perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. |
W1:136.13 | sighs a little when you throw away its gifts, and yet it knows with | perfect certainty that what God wills for you must be received. |
W1:R4.11 | no more than this to give us happiness and rest and endless quiet, | perfect certainty, and all our Father wills that we receive as the |

W1:161.14 | Son of God. I would behold you with the eyes of Christ, and see my | perfect sinlessness in you. |
W1:162.5 | We honor you today. Yours is the right to | perfect holiness you now accept. With this acceptance is salvation |
W1:162.5 | holiness like this has blessed the world? Who could despair when | perfect joy is yours, available to all as remedy for grief and |

W1:167.2 | It is the alarm to which you give response of any kind that is not | perfect joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety, and suffering and pain, even |

Tx:5.14 | First, its universality is | perfectly clear, and no one who receives it could ever believe for |
Tx:5.37 | and eternity. Eternity is an idea of God, so the Soul understands it | perfectly. Time is a belief of the ego, so the lower mind, which is |
Tx:5.41 | though the ego does not recognize it. The Holy Spirit recognizes it | perfectly, because it is His own dwelling place or the place in the |
Tx:5.83 | of “fixation” is also a very helpful one which Freud understood | perfectly. Unfortunately, he lost his understanding because he was |
Tx:5.89 | fixation is so strong that you will never overcome it. The reason is | perfectly clear. The fixation is on a level so high that it cannot |
Tx:5.93 | which is not in accord with His holy Will. I have made His plan | perfectly explicit to you and have also told you of your part in His |
Tx:6.8 | I have made it | perfectly clear that I am like you and you are like me, but our |
Tx:6.13 | I was betrayed, abandoned, beaten, torn, and finally killed. It was | perfectly clear that this was only because of the projection of |
Tx:6.17 | The message of the crucifixion is [very simple and] | perfectly clear: |
Tx:6.32 | extensions of His Thought in His Mind. All His Thoughts are thus | perfectly united within themselves and with each other, because they |
Tx:6.41 | love, for that is what you are.” This is the one lesson which is | perfectly unified, because it is the only lesson which is one. Only |
Tx:6.42 | The protection of God then dawns upon it, assuring it that it is | perfectly safe forever. The perfectly safe are wholly benign. They |
Tx:6.42 | dawns upon it, assuring it that it is perfectly safe forever. The | perfectly safe are wholly benign. They bless because they know they |

Tx:7.20 | why “all” and “nothing” are dichotomous, without a range. This is | perfectly clear in considering psychological tests of maximal |
Tx:7.29 | in your minds. The altar there is the only reality. The altar is | perfectly clear in thought, because it is a reflection of perfect |
Tx:7.30 | the questionable and thus lead to certainty. The certain are | perfectly calm, because they are not in doubt. They do not raise |
Tx:7.32 | laws of God, Whose laws are true. Because they are true, they are | perfectly dependable and therefore universal in application. The |

Tx:7.56 | anxiety. That is why the ego never knows what it is doing. It is | perfectly logical but clearly insane. The ego draws upon the one |
Tx:7.62 | you have done this. If the mind cannot attack, the ego proceeds | perfectly logically to the position that you cannot be mind. By not |
Tx:7.68 | no real conflict of will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit's | perfectly consistent teaching. |
Tx:7.69 | all. Being a perfect accomplishment, the Sonship can only accomplish | perfectly, extending the joy in which it was created and identifying |
Tx:7.104 | is confusion, this is hardly surprising.] The Holy Spirit is | perfectly trustworthy, as you are. God Himself trusts you, and |
Tx:8.16 | [by unlimited Will in order] to teach. Knowing His function | perfectly, He wills to fulfill it perfectly, because that is His joy |
Tx:8.16 | to teach. Knowing His function perfectly, He wills to fulfill it | perfectly, because that is His joy and yours. |
Tx:8.17 | To fulfill the Will of God | perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully known, because |

Tx:8.24 | Giving of your self is the function He gave you. Fulfilling it | perfectly will teach you what you have of Him, and this will teach |
Tx:8.27 | completely by any part of the Sonship. When this was done, it was | perfectly accomplished by all. How else could it be perfectly |
Tx:8.27 | done, it was perfectly accomplished by all. How else could it be | perfectly accomplished? My mission was simply to unite the will of |
Tx:8.58 | are has willed your power and glory for you, with which you can | perfectly accomplish His holy will for you when you so will it |
Tx:8.74 | judgment is the function of the Holy Spirit and one which He is | perfectly equipped to fulfill. The ego as a judge gives anything |
Tx:8.76 | prescriptions for avoiding catastrophic outcomes. The Holy Spirit, | perfectly aware of the same data, does not bother to analyze them at |
Tx:8.85 | it. The ego wants only what it hates. To the ego this is | perfectly sensible. Believing in the power of attack, the ego wants |
Tx:8.117 | that you can bargain with God. God's laws are always fair and | perfectly consistent. By giving you receive. But to receive is to |
Tx:9.14 | forgiveness is His function, and He knows how to fulfill it | perfectly. That is what we meant when we once said that miracles are |
Tx:9.19 | children, reality is here. It belongs to you and me and God and is | perfectly satisfying to all of us. Only this awareness heals, |
Tx:9.24 | importance of the fearer, how can this build ego strength? These | perfectly self-evident inconsistencies account for why, except in |
Tx:9.28 | patient. The Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He makes healing | perfectly clear in any situation in which he is the Guide. The |
Tx:9.48 | of the grandeur of God the meaninglessness of the ego becomes | perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, the ego |
Tx:9.64 | they are part of you. Everything that was created is therefore | perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect it by His Love. Any |
Tx:9.65 | does not exist. You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but | perfectly capable of awakening to reality. Is it your will to do so? |
Tx:9.73 | what it must be. Yet the logical outcome of your decision is | perfectly clear if you will look at it. By deciding against your |
Tx:9.84 | the belief that you can choose which god is real. Although it is | perfectly clear that this has nothing to do with reality, it is |
Tx:9.88 | exist. “Laws of chaos” are meaningless by definition. Creation is | perfectly lawful, and the chaotic is without meaning because it is |
Tx:10.46 | of its goal. It is much more vigilant than you are because it is | perfectly certain of its purpose. You are confused because you do |
Tx:10.60 | and what you perceive is your interpretation. This course is | perfectly clear. You do not see it clearly because you are |
Tx:11.4 | fully apparent to you, but this by no means signifies that it is not | perfectly clear. If you maintain that an appeal for help is something |
Tx:11.24 | is given you to help them since you are among them. Consider how | perfectly your lesson would be learned if you were unwilling to |
Tx:11.54 | strength because He perceives nothing but your Soul as you. He is | perfectly aware that you do not know yourselves and perfectly aware |
Tx:11.54 | as you. He is perfectly aware that you do not know yourselves and | perfectly aware of how to teach you what you are. Because He loves |
Tx:13.34 | God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you and love Him | perfectly? |
Tx:13.37 | In Heaven is everything God valued and nothing else. Heaven is | perfectly unambiguous. Everything is clear and bright and calls forth |
Tx:13.46 | offers to everyone for the salvation of everyone will not be | perfectly accomplished. You will be released, and you will not |
Tx:14.19 | together, the truth of one must make the falsity of its opposite | perfectly clear. Keep not guilt and guiltlessness apart, for your |
Tx:14.56 | them. God has no secret communications, for everything of Him is | perfectly open and freely accessible to all, being for all. Nothing |
Tx:15.1 | means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be | perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for |
Tx:15.38 | and gladly give over every plan but His. For there lies peace, | perfectly clear because you have been willing to meet its conditions. |
Tx:15.63 | else together, the language of communication, which you know | perfectly, you will not remember. |
Tx:16.24 | and not to see the real cause and effect relationship that is | perfectly apparent. Yet within you is everything you taught. What |
Tx:17.1 | waking is the full release from them, for only then does it become | perfectly apparent that they had no effect on reality at all and did |
Tx:17.39 | combined, accept this and be glad: these pictures are each framed | perfectly for what they represent. One is framed to be out of focus |
Tx:20.14 | him. Now are the lilies of his innocence untouched by guilt and | perfectly protected from the cold chill of fear and withering blight |
Tx:20.34 | of God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only to have His laws | perfectly fulfilled in them and all their brothers. Think you when |
Tx:20.60 | they are merely given you? They guarantee the goal, and they are | perfectly in line with it. Before we look at them a little closer, |
Tx:20.61 | brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as a body. Is this not | perfectly consistent with the goal of holiness? For holiness is |
Tx:20.72 | For it will meet His purpose, seen in unadjusted form and suited | perfectly to meet it. Destructiveness becomes benign, and sin is |
Tx:21.45 | This part has seen your brother and recognized him | perfectly since time began. And it desired nothing but to join with |
Tx:21.45 | this is madness. For this your reason tells you, and it follows | perfectly from what you have already learned. |
Tx:21.51 | they do so. But minds cannot be separate. This other Self is | perfectly aware of this. And thus It recognizes that miracles do not |
Tx:23.10 | triumph, and attack of any kind are all unknown. He loves you | perfectly, completely, and eternally. The Son of God at war with his |
Tx:24.28 | and hurls it into chaos. Truth is not frail. Illusions leave it | perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But specialness is not the |
Tx:25.45 | fill, no place where they are needed, and no aim which only they can | perfectly fulfill. |
Tx:25.49 | Take it gently then from one another's hand, and let salvation be | perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this one thing, that |
Tx:26.17 | opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His love kept | perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to wish |
Tx:26.39 | you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past, now | perfectly corrected, is of no concern nor value. Let the dead and |
Tx:27.49 | requires that it may be healed. It needs one lesson which has | perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it will the world |
Tx:28.9 | be effects. The miracle reminds you of a Cause forever present, | perfectly untouched by time and interference—never changed from |
Tx:29.22 | yourself be wakened. You can overlook your brother's dreams. So | perfectly can you forgive him his illusions, he becomes your savior |
Tx:30.44 | there, but you were unaware of it. The Thought God holds of you is | perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It will always be exactly as |
Tx:30.60 | of God knows everything his Father understands and understands it | perfectly with Him. |
Tx:30.61 | this is God's own purpose—only His, and yet completely shared and | perfectly fulfilled. The real world is a state in which the mind has |
Tx:31.36 | in which you see the purpose of the lesson shining clear, and | perfectly within your learning grasp. |

W1:35.5 | In the earlier part of the mind searching | period, you will probably emphasize what you consider to be the more |

W1:39.12 | End each practice | period by repeating the idea in its original form once more, and |
W1:40.2 | closing your eyes would not be appropriate. Do not miss a practice | period because of this. You can practice quite well under almost any |

W1:40.7 | If only a brief | period is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as |
W1:41.5 | There will be only one long practice | period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if possible, sit |
W1:41.5 | five minutes with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice | period, repeat today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think |
W1:42.4 | Begin the practice | period by repeating the idea for today slowly with eyes open, looking |
W1:42.8 | come. If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the practice | period alternating between slow repetitions of the idea with eyes |
W1:43.7 | Although this part of the exercise | period should be relatively short, be sure that you select the |

C:22.19 | small “I.” “I saw.” “I felt.” “I thought.” “I did.” The individual, | personal, separated self is at the center of all such stories. One |
C:22.20 | you. Begin to imagine seeing the world without the emphasis on your | personal self. Begin to form sentences and eventually to tell stories |
C:22.22 | This removal of the | personal “I” is but a first step to returning you to the |
C:22.23 | exists within your world rather than as the small and insignificant | personal self you generally accept as your “self.” By eliminating the |
C:22.23 | self you generally accept as your “self.” By eliminating the | personal, the universal becomes available. As the universal becomes |
C:22.23 | As the universal becomes available, you will have no desire for the | personal. Even so, you will find that what you consider your |
C:23.10 | of the body, which is an extension, in form, of your belief in the | personal “I.” |
C:25.16 | This first joining is a choice made from love without regard for the | personal self. You begin to live from love when the personal self |
C:25.16 | regard for the personal self. You begin to live from love when the | personal self gets out of the way. And when the personal self gets |
C:25.16 | from love when the personal self gets out of the way. And when the | personal self gets out of the way in any instance, it is the turning |
C:25.20 | this stage the desire to create may be linked with ego as well. Your | personal self will be looking for a place in which to reside. It will |
C:25.20 | time. You will soon realize that creation is not of, or for, the | personal self. |
C:27.5 | another as a function of the divine. You become confused between the | personal self and a true Self only because you have not as yet |
C:28.3 | Because inner knowing is both individual and collective, both | personal and universal, this is the source of all proof. And so you |
C:28.4 | brought about by innocence more so than by wisdom. This sharing of | personal testimony has reached its zenith and will no longer be as |
C:31.2 | of a higher order, or spiritual thought. Thoughts related to your | personal self and the “laws” of the body, such as those of survival, |
T2:13.1 | of this Treatise is, in contrast to those put forth previously, a | personal call from me to you. By now you have seen that your fears of |
T2:13.2 | Self. Now that you have been made ready, it is time for us to have a | personal relationship. We have, within these lessons, taken you far |
T2:13.2 | relationship. We have, within these lessons, taken you far from your | personal self, and I, as your teacher, have all but discounted the |
T2:13.2 | personal self, and I, as your teacher, have all but discounted the | personal self I experience in relationship with you. Now, in unity, |
T2:13.2 | in relationship with you. Now, in unity, we are ready to be | personal again. |
T2:13.3 | While the | personal self is the subject of the next Treatise, this is my |
T2:13.3 | this is my invitation to you, specifically, to enter into a holy and | personal relationship with me, specifically. While you are here, you |
T2:13.6 | in a mantle of peace and joy. Let who you are shine through the | personal self who continues to walk this world a while longer. Listen |
T3:1.1 | The | personal self exists as the self you present to others. This is the |
T3:1.1 | as the self you present to others. This is the only way in which the | personal self will continue to exist following the completion and the |
T3:1.1 | the completion and the integration of this Course. Previously, the | personal self that you presented to others represented an ego-self |
T3:1.1 | you believed yourself to be. Now the ego has been separated from the | personal self so that you may claim your personal self again and |
T3:1.1 | has been separated from the personal self so that you may claim your | personal self again and present to others a true representation of |
T3:1.4 | the truth reveals only illusion and becomes illusion. Thus, as your | personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will become |
T3:1.6 | I say that you have represented the ego, what I mean is that the | personal self, as represented by your body, while adhering to the |
T3:1.8 | I began this Treatise by saying that the | personal self exists as the self you present to others and that this |
T3:1.8 | you present to others and that this is the only way in which the | personal self will now continue to exist. This statement implies and |
T3:1.8 | This statement implies and acknowledges your previous belief in a | personal self who existed as more than a representation. While when |
T3:1.9 | coming about has to do with awareness. When you become aware of the | personal self as a representation, you become aware of the Self whom |
T3:1.9 | self as a representation, you become aware of the Self whom the | personal self is representing. To have believed that the personal |
T3:1.9 | whom the personal self is representing. To have believed that the | personal self, as a representation of the ego, was who you were, was |
T3:1.10 | To say that the | personal self will now exist only as the self you present to others |
T3:1.10 | now exist only as the self you present to others is to say that the | personal self will now cease to be seen as your reality. |
T3:1.11 | To say that the | personal self has only existed as the self you presented to others in |
T3:1.11 | quite a different statement and has a totally different meaning. The | personal self you once presented to others as “who you were” was a |
T3:1.11 | and that the self of the present made up the self of the future. The | personal self you presented to others in the past was a chosen self |
T3:1.11 | as evidenced by the variety of selves you saw yourself to be. The | personal self of the past was a self of roles, each one as learned as |
T3:1.12 | has abolished the ego-self and allows us to begin the lessons of the | personal self. |
T3:1.13 | been unable, without the lessons of this Course, to distinguish the | personal self from the ego-self. There is a danger even now in |
T3:2.6 | blameless. It is from this blameless or unaltered state that your | personal self can begin to represent the truth for it leaves untruth, |
T3:2.10 | you await is an idea, a remembrance of the original idea about your | personal self. |
T3:3.1 | Your | personal self is dear to you and dear to me as well. I have always |
T3:3.1 | you have always been. Here is where you need realize that the | personal self that is dear to you is not your ego-self and never has |
T3:3.2 | All of your | personal characteristics are nothing more than a persona that has |
T3:5.7 | was a gift meant to empty the world of the ego-self and to allow the | personal self to live on as the one true Self, the one true son of |
T3:8.4 | into this category. Bitterness is an idea intrinsically tied to the | personal self and the experience of the personal self. Whether you |
T3:8.4 | intrinsically tied to the personal self and the experience of the | personal self. Whether you believe the personal self is comprised of |
T3:8.4 | and the experience of the personal self. Whether you believe the | personal self is comprised of the one identity you now hold or the |
T3:11.1 | stated as those who exist in the house of illusion are aware of the | personal self alone and believe the personal self to be who they are. |
T3:11.1 | of illusion are aware of the personal self alone and believe the | personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the personal |
T3:11.1 | the personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the | personal self to be the truth of the statement, “I am.” |
T3:11.2 | they no longer feel the statement of “I am” as a statement of the | personal self or the self alone. For those existing in the House of |
T3:11.4 | The house of illusion is a construction meant to shield the | personal self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the |
T3:11.16 | remembered the truth of who you are, you are called to forget the | personal self who would find this cause for righteousness. You are |
T3:12.1 | the creation of the Self. The Self preceded the establishment of the | personal self. |
T3:12.2 | You exist within the time of consciousness of the | personal self. Thus we begin our work with the personal self while |
T3:12.2 | consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin our work with the | personal self while also realizing that the personal self is a step |
T3:12.2 | begin our work with the personal self while also realizing that the | personal self is a step in the chain of consciousness. The steps that |
T3:12.2 | the chain of consciousness. The steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come within time. The creation of time was |
T3:12.2 | time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation of the | personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the |
T3:12.2 | of the personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come in time, they are eternal, eternal levels |
T3:12.3 | remove the time-bound temptations of the human experience of the | personal self. |
T3:12.4 | cannot be bound by time and be a House of Truth. How then can the | personal self begin to realize the human experience outside of time? |
T3:12.4 | of time? The answer is thus: by changing the consciousness of the | personal self from a time-bound state of consciousness to an eternal |
T3:12.9 | became a life of suffering and strife only because the physical or | personal self forgot that it exists in relationship and believed |
T3:13.2 | so cause you to be aware only of a self of human experience, or a | personal self. While you may still feel a connection to God during |
T3:13.2 | while your reality remains that of the physical experience and the | personal self. In such times you can conceive only of a God outside |
T3:13.14 | or images originating from the Self and being represented by the | personal self. It is only in this way that the personal self will be |
T3:13.14 | represented by the personal self. It is only in this way that the | personal self will be able to represent the Self in truth. |
T3:21.6 | Your | personal self exists in illusion. It is called a personal self |
T3:21.6 | Your personal self exists in illusion. It is called a | personal self because it is attached to a person. A person is a being |
T3:21.7 | The only means for the | personal self and the true Self to exist together is for the truth to |
T3:21.10 | this Course has disproved. This identity has been seen as your | personal self. Thus your personal self is the only place in which you |
T3:21.10 | This identity has been seen as your personal self. Thus your | personal self is the only place in which you have experience that can |
T3:21.11 | things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you feel about your | personal self. You identify yourself as male or female, married or |
T3:21.11 | Chinese or Lebanese or American, black or white or Indian. Your | personal self may be deeply affected by these things you call |
T3:21.12 | as often been considered as part of what makes you certain of your | personal self, are the thoughts of your mind, thoughts that while |
T3:21.13 | things as part of what make up the totality of who you are, of your | personal self. |
T3:21.14 | So it can be seen that there are several aspects to your | personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we will call |
T3:21.15 | yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view, and your view of your | personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other words, the |
T3:21.16 | understanding or knowing your brothers and sisters, those whose | personal selves and world view cannot help but be different than your |
T3:21.17 | to accept your true identity even while you retain the form of your | personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self who exists in |
T3:21.17 | is that of a Self who exists in unity and the identity of your | personal self is that of a self who exists in separation, this would |
T3:21.18 | Thus, certain things about your | personal self must be accepted as aspects of your form and cease to |
T3:21.18 | time while you carry observance forward into observance of your | personal self. As was said at the beginning of this Treatise, by the |
T3:21.18 | Treatise, by the time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the | personal self will continue to exist only as the self you present to |
T3:21.20 | answer. One is that your certainty regarding the identity of your | personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the |
T3:21.21 | The world is quite simply bigger now and the identities of your | personal selves split by far more than history and far more than the |
T3:21.22 | seen. What I am saying is that you can remain confident in your | personal self, knowing that your personal self will serve those you |
T3:21.22 | you can remain confident in your personal self, knowing that your | personal self will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have |
T3:21.24 | addressed and seen as it relates to the relationship between the | personal self and the Self; the truth and its representation and |
T3:22.4 | Since your | personal self was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, |
T3:22.9 | within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the | personal self, and your attention has begun to wander from this topic |
T3:22.10 | the realization will come to you that you are ready to leave the | personal self and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have |
T3:22.10 | you are ready to leave the personal self and the concerns of the | personal self behind. You have needed to become bored with what has |
T3:22.10 | has been, tired of the way things were, uninterested in matters of a | personal nature. This very readiness is what I now call your |
T3:22.16 | with the old and the observation, the final observation, of the | personal self. You have created your personal self, and only you can |
T3:22.16 | the final observation, of the personal self. You have created your | personal self, and only you can look upon this personal self with the |
T3:22.16 | You have created your personal self, and only you can look upon this | personal self with the vision of creation, creating the personal self |
T3:22.16 | upon this personal self with the vision of creation, creating the | personal self anew, seeing within it all that will serve the new, and |
T3:22.17 | Observe the | personal self with one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing |
T3:22.17 | one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing transform the | personal self into a representation of the truth. Realize that what |
T3:22.17 | eyes” observation is really the observation of a Self beyond the | personal self. To call forth observance is to call forth the sight of |
T4:1.12 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held within the embrace |
T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” all notions of blame must be gone from you. Thus, you |
T4:1.22 | for the new. It is what has caused your growing impatience with the | personal self, with acquiring all that your new learning in science |
T4:2.10 | the definition of observation provided in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self.” |
T4:3.2 | but not the same. Observation has to do with the elevation of the | personal self. Vision has to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision |
T4:3.3 | The | personal self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its |
T4:3.4 | form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the | personal self capable of being observed in relationship. The |
T4:3.4 | it did not change the original cause, formed a false nature for the | personal self. This displacement of the original intent can be simply |
T4:3.9 | vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of the | personal self that will be caused by the return of your natural state |
T4:3.10 | exists within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the | personal self to its rightful place within the nature of a world of |
T4:4.8 | now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the | personal self, is a natural part of the pattern of life-everlasting. |
T4:4.16 | believe that you are mortal is to believe that you must die to the | personal self of form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is |
T4:4.16 | The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of the | personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist |
T4:5.13 | Christ-consciousness and direct revelation. The elevation of the | personal self in this time of Christ can be the new choice. |
T4:9.3 | sciences. You read books that are channeled, books that tell of | personal experiences, books that promise ten steps to success. You go |
T4:9.7 | have you been made ready finally to be loosed of the bounds of the | personal self. This time of concentration on the self is unheralded |
T4:9.8 | last of the intermediaries, these called to a wisdom beyond their | personal capacity. Now these forerunners of the new, along with you, |
T4:12.25 | return of unity! Pause a moment here, and celebrate this feat of the | personal self! The personal self, through the self-centeredness of |
T4:12.25 | a moment here, and celebrate this feat of the personal self! The | personal self, through the self-centeredness of the final stages of |
T4:12.27 | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the | personal self. Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of |
T4:12.32 | me a teacher and you a student. The answers to the elevation of the | personal self and the living of Christ-consciousness in form are yet |
D:1.2 | to represent with your physical form. I come to you today not as a | personal self who is “other” than you, but as a divine Self who is |
D:1.3 | What this means in practical terms is that you let the | personal self step back and the true Self step forward. Realize that |
D:1.3 | step forward. Realize that all of your “concerns” are still for the | personal self, a self whom you continue to believe can fail to |
D:1.3 | of intelligence—through lack, in other words, of abilities of the | personal self. As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the |
D:1.3 | As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the pattern of the | personal self going forth much as it did before. You do not “see” the |
D:1.3 | of the elevated Self. As long as you see in this way, you keep the | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the |
D:1.3 | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the | personal self in the stepping back that is required in order for the |
D:1.7 | This acceptance is crucial to the elevation of the | personal self. Without this acceptance the personal self must still |
D:1.7 | to the elevation of the personal self. Without this acceptance the | personal self must still struggle and try, prepare and plan. It does |
D:1.8 | This is the final surrender. The surrender of the control of the | personal self. Even with the ego gone, the personal self can continue |
D:1.8 | of the control of the personal self. Even with the ego gone, the | personal self can continue to move about within the world, a faceless |
D:1.10 | but the true Self has not been allowed as yet to dwell within the | personal self, thus elevating the personal self. You have thus been |
D:1.10 | allowed as yet to dwell within the personal self, thus elevating the | personal self. You have thus been self-less for a time and the |
D:1.10 | the personal self. You have thus been self-less for a time and the | personal self has floundered from this lack of identity. A person |
D:1.10 | during this time from lack of identity, lack of cause. To die to the | personal self is not what is required any longer as we work instead |
D:1.10 | is not what is required any longer as we work instead to elevate the | personal self. This elevation occurs through the acceptance of your |
D:1.14 | I am no longer the | personal self who was separate and alone. I am my Christ Self. I |
D:1.17 | further learning is not what will complete the transformation of the | personal self to the elevated Self. Learning will not sustain |
D:2.13 | not “working for you” are often those matters that are beyond your | personal control and so patterns of personal control have become |
D:2.13 | matters that are beyond your personal control and so patterns of | personal control have become particularly entrenched. Thus have you |
D:2.15 | of your true identity into the self of form, or the elevation of the | personal self, new patterns are needed. |
D:2.22 | the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the answers of the | personal self of old, the separated self who depended on learned |
D:3.12 | consciousness is the truth of who you are. The elevation of the | personal self, however, requires that this giving and receiving as |
D:4.5 | those who are incarcerated there. Each of you has had an imprisoned | personal self. Each of you who have entered Christ-consciousness has |
D:5.3 | world to its true representation. As was said in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self”, there is a huge difference between a true |
D:6.24 | the body to accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the | personal self, the self of learning, with the true Self. You have |
D:9.10 | meant to lead beyond the need for beliefs, and “A Treatise on the | Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the personal self. Thus the |
D:9.10 | and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the | personal self. Thus the Treatises were not inconsistent with our aims |
D:10.1 | What is found outside of the boundary of the | personal self in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to |
D:10.3 | the self of separation, the Self of elevated form rather than the | personal self. |
D:10.4 | to think of this in any other way will leave you with no individual, | personal accomplishment, nothing to be proud of, nothing to call your |
D:10.6 | to “Go forth and multiply.” It is about increase. To be content with | personal or individual understanding or experience of what is given |
D:11.16 | that arise from the well of spirit. To seek importance for the | personal self would be akin to placing the importance of Jesus on the |
D:12.18 | Some of you will have credited your | personal or individual self with the “figuring out” of this truth. |
D:12.18 | this coming to know of the truth wasn't quite “of” the “you” of the | personal self. |
D:13.8 | is all you have known. This perceived state is synonymous with the | personal self, with the idea of individuality, with separate |
D:16.17 | This is only an image. This is not your | personal self, your ego self, or your separated self, come to reclaim |
D:Day8.17 | of your heart. It would have been to accept the feelings of a | personal self who had not yet unlearned the lessons of the past or |

D:Day10.13 | the beginning of our dialogue. While you still hold an image of your | personal self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the feelings of |
D:Day10.13 | self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the feelings of the | personal self. This is because your image of the personal self is |

T3:8.4 | into this category. Bitterness is an idea intrinsically tied to the | personal self and the experience of the personal self. Whether you |
T3:8.4 | intrinsically tied to the personal self and the experience of the | personal self. Whether you believe the personal self is comprised of |
T3:8.4 | and the experience of the personal self. Whether you believe the | personal self is comprised of the one identity you now hold or the |
T3:11.1 | stated as those who exist in the house of illusion are aware of the | personal self alone and believe the personal self to be who they are. |
T3:11.1 | of illusion are aware of the personal self alone and believe the | personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the personal |
T3:11.1 | the personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the | personal self to be the truth of the statement, “I am.” |
T3:11.2 | they no longer feel the statement of “I am” as a statement of the | personal self or the self alone. For those existing in the House of |
T3:11.4 | The house of illusion is a construction meant to shield the | personal self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the |
T3:11.16 | remembered the truth of who you are, you are called to forget the | personal self who would find this cause for righteousness. You are |
T3:12.1 | the creation of the Self. The Self preceded the establishment of the | personal self. |
T3:12.2 | You exist within the time of consciousness of the | personal self. Thus we begin our work with the personal self while |
T3:12.2 | consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin our work with the | personal self while also realizing that the personal self is a step |
T3:12.2 | begin our work with the personal self while also realizing that the | personal self is a step in the chain of consciousness. The steps that |
T3:12.2 | the chain of consciousness. The steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come within time. The creation of time was |
T3:12.2 | time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation of the | personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the |
T3:12.2 | of the personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come in time, they are eternal, eternal levels |
T3:12.3 | remove the time-bound temptations of the human experience of the | personal self. |
T3:12.4 | cannot be bound by time and be a House of Truth. How then can the | personal self begin to realize the human experience outside of time? |
T3:12.4 | of time? The answer is thus: by changing the consciousness of the | personal self from a time-bound state of consciousness to an eternal |
T3:12.9 | became a life of suffering and strife only because the physical or | personal self forgot that it exists in relationship and believed |
T3:13.2 | so cause you to be aware only of a self of human experience, or a | personal self. While you may still feel a connection to God during |
T3:13.2 | while your reality remains that of the physical experience and the | personal self. In such times you can conceive only of a God outside |
T3:13.14 | or images originating from the Self and being represented by the | personal self. It is only in this way that the personal self will be |
T3:13.14 | represented by the personal self. It is only in this way that the | personal self will be able to represent the Self in truth. |
T3:21.6 | Your | personal self exists in illusion. It is called a personal self |
T3:21.6 | Your personal self exists in illusion. It is called a | personal self because it is attached to a person. A person is a being |
T3:21.7 | The only means for the | personal self and the true Self to exist together is for the truth to |
T3:21.10 | this Course has disproved. This identity has been seen as your | personal self. Thus your personal self is the only place in which you |
T3:21.10 | This identity has been seen as your personal self. Thus your | personal self is the only place in which you have experience that can |
T3:21.11 | things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you feel about your | personal self. You identify yourself as male or female, married or |
T3:21.11 | Chinese or Lebanese or American, black or white or Indian. Your | personal self may be deeply affected by these things you call |
T3:21.12 | as often been considered as part of what makes you certain of your | personal self, are the thoughts of your mind, thoughts that while |
T3:21.13 | things as part of what make up the totality of who you are, of your | personal self. |
T3:21.14 | So it can be seen that there are several aspects to your | personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we will call |
T3:21.15 | yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view, and your view of your | personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other words, the |
T3:21.17 | to accept your true identity even while you retain the form of your | personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self who exists in |
T3:21.17 | is that of a Self who exists in unity and the identity of your | personal self is that of a self who exists in separation, this would |
T3:21.18 | Thus, certain things about your | personal self must be accepted as aspects of your form and cease to |
T3:21.18 | time while you carry observance forward into observance of your | personal self. As was said at the beginning of this Treatise, by the |
T3:21.18 | Treatise, by the time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the | personal self will continue to exist only as the self you present to |
T3:21.20 | answer. One is that your certainty regarding the identity of your | personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the |
T3:21.22 | seen. What I am saying is that you can remain confident in your | personal self, knowing that your personal self will serve those you |
T3:21.22 | you can remain confident in your personal self, knowing that your | personal self will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have |
T3:21.24 | addressed and seen as it relates to the relationship between the | personal self and the Self; the truth and its representation and |
T3:22.4 | Since your | personal self was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, |
T3:22.9 | within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the | personal self, and your attention has begun to wander from this topic |
T3:22.10 | the realization will come to you that you are ready to leave the | personal self and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have |
T3:22.10 | you are ready to leave the personal self and the concerns of the | personal self behind. You have needed to become bored with what has |

T4:1.12 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held within the embrace |
T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” all notions of blame must be gone from you. Thus, you |
T4:1.22 | for the new. It is what has caused your growing impatience with the | personal self, with acquiring all that your new learning in science |
T4:2.10 | the definition of observation provided in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self.” |
T4:3.2 | but not the same. Observation has to do with the elevation of the | personal self. Vision has to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision |
T4:3.3 | The | personal self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its |
T4:3.4 | form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the | personal self capable of being observed in relationship. The |
T4:3.4 | it did not change the original cause, formed a false nature for the | personal self. This displacement of the original intent can be simply |
T4:3.9 | vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of the | personal self that will be caused by the return of your natural state |
T4:3.10 | exists within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the | personal self to its rightful place within the nature of a world of |
T4:4.8 | now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the | personal self, is a natural part of the pattern of life-everlasting. |
T4:4.16 | believe that you are mortal is to believe that you must die to the | personal self of form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is |
T4:4.16 | The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of the | personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist |
T4:5.13 | Christ-consciousness and direct revelation. The elevation of the | personal self in this time of Christ can be the new choice. |
T4:9.7 | have you been made ready finally to be loosed of the bounds of the | personal self. This time of concentration on the self is unheralded |

T4:12.25 | a moment here, and celebrate this feat of the personal self! The | personal self, through the self-centeredness of the final stages of |
T4:12.27 | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the | personal self. Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of |
T4:12.32 | me a teacher and you a student. The answers to the elevation of the | personal self and the living of Christ-consciousness in form are yet |
D:1.2 | to represent with your physical form. I come to you today not as a | personal self who is “other” than you, but as a divine Self who is |
D:1.3 | What this means in practical terms is that you let the | personal self step back and the true Self step forward. Realize that |
D:1.3 | step forward. Realize that all of your “concerns” are still for the | personal self, a self whom you continue to believe can fail to |

D:1.3 | As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the pattern of the | personal self going forth much as it did before. You do not “see” the |

D:1.17 | further learning is not what will complete the transformation of the | personal self to the elevated Self. Learning will not sustain |

D:2.22 | the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the answers of the | personal self of old, the separated self who depended on learned |
D:3.12 | consciousness is the truth of who you are. The elevation of the | personal self, however, requires that this giving and receiving as |
D:4.5 | those who are incarcerated there. Each of you has had an imprisoned | personal self. Each of you who have entered Christ-consciousness has |
D:6.24 | the body to accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the | personal self, the self of learning, with the true Self. You have |
D:9.10 | and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the | personal self. Thus the Treatises were not inconsistent with our aims |
D:10.1 | What is found outside of the boundary of the | personal self in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to |

T3:13.14 | a relationship between your physical form and your Self as your | physical self represents, in form, the thought or image produced |
T3:14.1 | about the changes you would so desire to have come about within your | physical experience. You may live a more peaceful and meaningful |
T3:17.1 | As we have already shown, to have chosen to express the Self in | physical form was a choice consistent with the laws of love. There |
T3:17.4 | the learning of a new thought system, the thought system of the | physical, a thought system that was not needed before there was |
T3:17.4 | the physical, a thought system that was not needed before there was | physical form. The creation story of Adam and Eve, as well as many |
T3:17.5 | experience to learn the lessons of what was observable within the | physical realm, to have begun to forget the unobservable began a |
T3:17.5 | exactly what has been learned during the time of your experience in | physical form. Since your true Self could not learn the untrue, a new |
T3:18.2 | observe what the Self expresses, was part of the original choice for | physical form. The word observance has rightly been linked with |
T3:18.3 | an effect. Because this was part of the original choice for the | physical experience, it is a natural choice to serve our new purpose |
T3:18.4 | Expressing who you are in | physical form will return remembrance to the minds of those who |
T3:18.9 | In this way, you will join the mechanisms of your | physical form to the new thought system of the truth. Your body, as |
T3:19.1 | You must not fear the changes that will occur within your | physical form as it begins to be guided by the thought system of the |
T3:19.1 | others will be no more. You have no more need to fear the loss of | physical joys than you have to fear the loss of mental and spiritual |
T3:19.2 | For ages man has thought that spiritual joy diminishes | physical joy. While there is no physical joy that is limited to the |
T3:19.2 | that spiritual joy diminishes physical joy. While there is no | physical joy that is limited to the physical—no joy felt by the |
T3:19.2 | physical joy. While there is no physical joy that is limited to the | physical—no joy felt by the physical form alone—the joy that |
T3:19.2 | no physical joy that is limited to the physical—no joy felt by the | physical form alone—the joy that comes of things physical can |
T3:19.2 | joy felt by the physical form alone—the joy that comes of things | physical can certainly still be experienced and expressed. This is no |

T3:19.2 | call for judgment upon the physical. How could this be true when the | physical is now called upon to serve the greatest learning humankind |
T3:19.4 | For ages | physical reality has been linked to temptations of the human |
T3:19.4 | of the human experience. Let us now dispel this link. The | physical form has been blamed for choices made from lust and greed, |
T3:19.4 | heart. As cause and effect are one, there is no effect to be seen in | physical form without a corresponding cause birthed in the ego |
T3:19.7 | union may be called for. While some of you may have less desire for | physical joining as you become more aware of unity, some may have |
T3:19.7 | as you become more aware of unity, some may have more desire for | physical joining as an expression of that union. Neither option is |
T3:19.9 | goal. That goal is the original thought that began the experience in | physical form, the thought of expressing the Self in observable form. |
T3:19.11 | bodily temptations. Although you will now represent who you are in | physical form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of |
T3:21.18 | do with the thoughts of a separated mind or the circumstances of the | physical body. |
T4:2.22 | first joining in unity, the joining of heart and mind, joins the | physical and the spiritual world in a relationship of which you can |
T4:2.25 | I have revealed to you. A new relationship now exists between the | physical and spiritual. It is not an indirect relationship but a |
T4:3.2 | things. Observation is the means of seeing this binding pattern in | physical form. |
T4:3.11 | love. Observation is the natural means of sharing what is known in | physical form. |
T4:3.12 | The | physical form is not the natural or original form of the created. |
T4:3.12 | by which the original nature of the created can newly be seen in | physical form. Once the original nature of the created becomes |

T4:8.1 | without form who at some point in time chose to express love in | physical form, and so began this experience of human life. You are |

D:Day3.47 | You still believe the truth of the situation to be the reality of | physical form and of what you have or have not within the confines of |
D:Day5.3 | experiences come from your mind or from a place just beyond your | physical concept of the mind but, since you are not your body, the |

Tx:11.35 | will look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the | place, you must relinquish your investment in the world as you have |
Tx:11.45 | be unable to avoid interpreting this as reinforcement. The only | place where you can cancel out all reinforcement is in yourself. |
Tx:11.68 | the acceptance of two goals, each perceived in a different | place, separated from each other because you made them different. |

Tx:14.28 | apparent. One will go because the other is seen in the same | place. Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness |
Tx:14.32 | upon His guiltless Son. All this lies hidden in every darkened | place shrouded in guilt and in the dark denial of innocence. Behind |

Tx:17.64 | it is this you demonstrate when you remove it from its source and | place it elsewhere. As a result, you do not see the problem. Had |
Tx:18.10 | holy and so perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken the holy | place in which you stand together. God is with you, my brothers. Let |
Tx:18.19 | it. In your waking dreams, the special relationship [has a special | place. It is the means by which you try to make your sleeping |
Tx:18.37 | But to receive it, I must be willing not to substitute my own in | place of it. |
Tx:18.40 | become the arbiter of what is possible and remain unwilling to give | place to One Who knows. The whole belief in orders of difficulty in |
Tx:18.49 | left not his Father and dwells not apart from Him. Heaven is not a | place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness |
Tx:18.56 | only thus can you escape. The home of vengeance is not yours; the | place you set aside to house your hate is not a prison but an |
Tx:18.62 | because you want it. The sudden expansion of the self which takes | place with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy |
Tx:18.62 | you, to welcome you to openness of mind and freedom. Come to this | place of refuge, where you can be yourself in peace. Not through |
Tx:18.69 | do nothing has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and make a | place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand |
Tx:18.69 | where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this | place the Holy Spirit comes and there abides. He will remain when you |
Tx:18.70 | Yet there will always be this | place of rest to which you can return. And you will be more aware of |
Tx:18.79 | rest to those who lost their way and wander in the dust. Give them a | place of refuge, prepared by love for them where once a desert was. |
Tx:18.79 | with him from Heaven for you. They enter one by one into this holy | place, but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The love |
Tx:18.88 | fury, vengeance, and betrayal that were made to keep the guilt in | place, so that the world could rise from it and keep it hidden. Its |
Tx:18.94 | interfere with love, letting it be itself. A step beyond this holy | place [of forgiveness], a step still further inward but the one you |
Tx:18.98 | And when the memory of God has come to you in the holy | place of forgiveness, you will remember nothing else, and memory will |
Tx:19.6 | Both cannot be together nor perceived in the same | place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set up a goal forever |
Tx:19.13 | that receives it looks instantly beyond the body and sees the holy | place where it was healed. There is the altar where the grace was |
Tx:19.22 | truth, to what can it be brought? The “holiness” of sin is kept in | place by just this strange device. As truth it is inviolate, and |
Tx:19.36 | other as yourself. Your relationship is now a temple of healing—a | place where all the weary ones can come and find rest. Here is the |
Tx:19.42 | Will of God, just by a little. And that little is a limit you would | place upon the whole. God's Will is One, not many. It has no |
Tx:19.63 | would interpose between peace and its going forth but barriers you | place between your will and its accomplishment? You want communion, |
Tx:19.64 | cannot be asked of you? There is no obstacle which you can | place before our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there |
Tx:19.79 | nor to its master. When you accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose in | place of the ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for life. We |
Tx:19.94 | what lies beyond. Your wanting fear seemed to be holding them in | place. Yet when you heard the voice of love beyond them, you answered |
Tx:19.98 | will be ready. Let us join together in a holy instant, here in this | place where the purpose given in a holy instant has led you. And |
Tx:19.99 | Nor is it possible to look on this too soon. This is the | place to which everyone must come when he is ready. Once he has found |
Tx:19.99 | he has found his brother, he is ready. Yet merely to reach the | place is not enough. A journey without a purpose is still |
Tx:19.105 | Here is the holy | place of resurrection to which we come again; to which we will return |
Tx:19.106 | He leadeth you and me together that we might meet here in this holy | place and make the same decision. |
Tx:19.110 | yet so strong that it would lift you far beyond the veil and | place the Son of God safely within the sure protection of his Father. |
Tx:20.29 | Sin has no | place in Heaven, where its results are alien and can no more enter |
Tx:20.48 | Homeless, the ego seeks as many bodies as it can collect to | place its idols in and so establish them as temples to itself. |
Tx:20.49 | be. Would He Who sees the face of Christ choose as His home the only | place in all the universe where it can not be seen? |
Tx:20.51 | with them. Yet what you fear is but the herald of escape. This | place of darkness is not your home. Your temple is not threatened. |
Tx:20.61 | of Christ or of the ego. Either must be an error, for both would | place the attributes where they cannot be. And both must be undone |
Tx:20.67 | lost to you through your desire for something else. Open the holy | place which you closed off by valuing the “something else,” and what |
Tx:20.69 | that Christ may rise before your vision and give you joy. And | place no value on your brother's body, which holds him to illusions |
Tx:20.72 | Everything looked upon with vision falls gently into | place according to the laws brought to it by His calm and certain |
Tx:21.8 | you, but just a little wisp of melody, attached not to a person or a | place or anything particular. But you remember from just this little |
Tx:21.26 | you think what you have made can tell you what you see and feel and | place your faith in its ability to do so, you are denying your |
Tx:21.31 | hold him and placing it in his freedom instead. It is impossible to | place equal faith in opposite directions. What faith you give to sin |
Tx:21.36 | faith had limited their understanding of the world, desiring to | place its power elsewhere should another point of view be given them. |
Tx:21.51 | in which your freedom lies awaiting but your choice. And if you | place your faith in them, you will perceive another Self in you. This |
Tx:21.53 | God must be in you now, being eternal. You must have set aside a | place in which the Holy Spirit can abide and where He is. He must |
Tx:21.56 | serve the great deceiver's needs as well as truth. But reason has no | place at all in madness, nor can it be adjusted to fit its end. Faith |
Tx:21.62 | is an attack on reason that drives it out of mind and takes its | place. Reason does not attack but takes the place of madness quietly, |
Tx:21.62 | of mind and takes its place. Reason does not attack but takes the | place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the will of the |
Tx:21.84 | happiness, or happiness in changing form that shifts with time and | place, is an illusion which has no meaning. Happiness must be |
Tx:22.1 | can look on sin together, for they could never see it in the same | place and time. Sin is a strictly individual perception, seen in the |
Tx:22.38 | When you come to the | place where the branch in the road is quite apparent, you cannot go |
Tx:22.40 | And so you stand, here in this holy | place, before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the face of |
Tx:22.40 | into a darkened world that needs the light. And from this holy | place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will |
Tx:22.55 | relationship corrects the error and lays a part of Heaven in its | place. How blessed are you who let this gift be given! Each part of |
Tx:22.55 | Each part of Heaven that you bring is given you. And every empty | place in Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal Light you bring |
Tx:22.58 | other's eyes, and each one is released as he beholds his savior in | place of the attacker who he thought was there. Through this |
Tx:22.60 | lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the fear of God in | place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this remains, so will it |
Tx:23.4 | aside? Your destiny and purpose are far beyond them in the clean | place where littleness does not exist. Your purpose is at variance |
Tx:23.10 | the war against yourself is almost over. The journey's end is at the | place of peace. Would you not now accept the peace offered you here? |
Tx:23.16 | set him in serenity and peace and dwells with him. Illusions have no | place where love abides, protecting you from everything that is not |
Tx:23.29 | He hid it in his body, making it the cover for his guilt, the hiding | place for what belongs to you. Now must his body be destroyed and |
Tx:23.31 | These are the laws you made for your salvation. They hold in | place the substitute for Heaven which you prefer. This is their |
Tx:23.46 | because the guns are stilled an instant and the fear that haunts the | place of death is not apparent, that it will not return. There is |
Tx:23.47 | of God is fear of life and not of death. Yet He remains the only | place of safety. In Him is no attack, and no illusion in any form |
Tx:23.51 | Be lifted up and from a higher | place look down upon it. From there will your perspective be quite |
Tx:23.52 | a loss of peace. This you know well. When it occurs, leave not your | place on high but quickly choose a miracle instead of murder. And |
Tx:24.3 | and love is gone because you asked a substitute to take its | place. And now must war, the substitute for peace, come with the one |
Tx:24.17 | his mind accepts the truth about himself as it returns to take their | place. This is the only “cost” of truth: you will no longer see what |
Tx:24.18 | You who have chained your savior to your specialness and given it his | place, remember this: He has not lost the power to forgive you all |
Tx:24.20 | His Heaven so remote that they cannot be reached. Here in this holy | place does truth stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing |
Tx:24.20 | nothing stands outside. Leave all illusions of yourself outside this | place to which you come in hope and honesty. |
Tx:24.24 | prison-house which keeps His Son from Him. For it demands a special | place God cannot enter and a hiding-place where none is welcome but |
Tx:24.25 | to you when you were ready to accept His plan for your salvation in | place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save through the |
Tx:24.54 | And it is He they look for everywhere and find no sight nor | place nor time where He is not. Within your brother's holiness, the |
Tx:24.58 | cannot be what governs part of God holds not for all the rest. You | place yourself under the laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how |
Tx:24.62 | your son, beloved of you as you are to your Father. Yet it stands in | place of your creations, who are son to you, that you might share |
Tx:24.62 | is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation that takes the | place of yours? And where are they, now that the host of God has |
Tx:25.10 | All this takes note of time and | place as if they were discrete, for while you think that part of you |
Tx:25.13 | of satisfaction from the world you see? In no respect at any time or | place has anything but fear and guilt been your reward. How long is |
Tx:25.13 | to base your future hopes and no suggestions of success at all. To | place your hopes where no hope lies must make you hopeless. Yet is |
Tx:25.17 | not make the frame into the picture when you choose to see it in its | place. The frame that God has given it but serves His purpose, not |
Tx:25.27 | If it elects to see them elsewhere from their home, as if they lit a | place where they could never be, and you agree, then must the Maker |
Tx:25.36 | as his only home? Nothing before and nothing after it. No other | place, no other state nor time. Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing |
Tx:25.45 | ones are those who see no function in the world for them to fill, no | place where they are needed, and no aim which only they can perfectly |
Tx:25.52 | carefully. It must be so that either God is mad or is this world a | place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all |
Tx:25.56 | The form is suited to your special needs and to the special time and | place in which you think you find yourself and where you can be free |
Tx:25.56 | in which you think you find yourself and where you can be free of | place and time and all that you believe must limit you. The Son of |
Tx:25.56 | believe must limit you. The Son of God cannot be bound by time nor | place nor anything God did not will. Yet if His Will is seen as |
Tx:25.78 | doubt that this is possible will you hold dear that sin be kept in | place. You mean that truth has greater value now than all |
Tx:25.83 | justice if some errors are unforgivable and warrant vengeance in | place of healing and return of peace? |
Tx:26.12 | saw them vanish one by one without regard to size, complexity, or | place and time, or any attribute which you perceive that makes each |
Tx:26.16 | transformed into a universal blessing. Sacrifice is gone. And in its | place the love of God can be remembered and will shine away all |
Tx:26.19 | of thought which stands between this world and Heaven. It is not a | place, and when you reach it is apart from time. Here is the |
Tx:26.20 | past the gate where Oneness is. Salvation is a borderland where | place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen |
Tx:26.20 | still, and yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of | place, and every choice has been already made. |
Tx:26.27 | The holy | place on which you stand is but the space that sin has left. And here |
Tx:26.27 | sin has left. And here you see the face of Christ arising in its | place. Who could behold the face of Christ and not recall His Father |
Tx:26.27 | Who could fear love and stand upon the ground where sin has left a | place for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above the world and |
Tx:26.36 | stand upon a distant shore and dream himself across an ocean to a | place and time that have long since gone by? How real a hindrance |
Tx:26.37 | Is this a hindrance to the | place whereon he stands? Is any echo from the past that he may hear a |
Tx:26.37 | where he is now? And how much can his own delusions about time and | place affect a change in where he really is? The unforgiven is a |
Tx:26.37 | what is gone could be made real again and seen as here and now in | place of what is really now and here. Is this a hindrance to the |
Tx:26.39 | and gone be peacefully forgotten. Resurrection has come to take its | place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. No |
Tx:26.39 | not of death. No past illusions have the power to keep you in a | place of death, a vault God's Son entered an instant, to be instantly |
Tx:26.45 | Him you are friendless. Seek not another friend to take His | place. There is no other friend. What God appointed has no |
Tx:26.46 | Make no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the | place of Him whom God has called your Friend. And it is He who is |
Tx:26.46 | they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He will | place them on your throne when you make room for Him on His. |
Tx:26.48 | is a wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take the | place of changeless knowledge. Yet is truth unchanged. It cannot be |
Tx:26.54 | impose between your brother and yourself. They limit you to time and | place and give a little space to you, another little space to him. |
Tx:26.79 | the flowers be all white and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a | place of death has now become a living temple in a world of light. |
Tx:26.79 | Their Presence which has lifted holiness again to take its ancient | place upon an ancient throne. Because of Them have miracles sprung up |
Tx:26.82 | living temple, where a home for Them has been set up. There is no | place in Heaven holier. And They have come to dwell within the temple |
Tx:27.1 | way, and you will fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But | place no terror symbols on your path, or you will weave a crown of |
Tx:27.11 | be remembered. Here its peace can come and perfect healing take the | place of death. The body can become a sign of life, a promise of |
Tx:27.34 | pictures and no learning aids.] And what will ultimately take the | place of every learning aid will merely be. Forgiveness vanishes |
Tx:27.43 | which the answer has been barred. But bring the problem to the only | place which holds the answer lovingly for you. Here are the answers |
Tx:27.46 | conflict and has reached to peace. It carries comfort from the | place of peace into the battleground and demonstrates that war has no |
Tx:27.58 | And this it proves because its own effects have come to take their | place. It matters not the name by which you called your suffering. It |
Tx:27.61 | will be revealed to you who chose to let love's symbols take the | place of sin. |
Tx:27.74 | Rest in the Holy Spirit and allow His gentle dreams to take the | place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He brings |
Tx:27.77 | it were a person, to be seen and be believed. It takes the central | place in every dream, which tells the story of how it was made by |
Tx:28.2 | see. Memory, like perception, is a skill made up by you to take the | place of what God gave in your creation. And like all the things you |
Tx:28.11 | Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its | place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards. |
Tx:28.15 | not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has come to take the | place of loss? What better way to close the little gap between |
Tx:28.22 | of them when he perceives he made them up. The fear was held in | place because he did not see that he was author of the dream, and |
Tx:28.32 | enclosing nothing, doing nothing, and as unsubstantial as the empty | place between the ripples that a ship has made in passing by. And |
Tx:28.35 | you witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it will make a | place of welcome for your Father and your Self. The door is open that |
Tx:28.44 | to take the broken picture of the Son of God and put the pieces into | place again. This holy picture, healed entirely, does He hold out to |
Tx:28.44 | brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle will | place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness |
Tx:28.46 | let illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will | place the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And |
Tx:28.50 | conceived a little gap between illusions and the truth to be the | place where all your safety lies and where your Self is safely hidden |
Tx:28.52 | dreams and from illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any | place or time. For it fills every place and every time and makes them |
Tx:28.52 | has left no room for them in any place or time. For it fills every | place and every time and makes them wholly indivisible. |
Tx:28.53 | to be existing here. The world you see does not exist because the | place where you perceive it is not real. The gap is carefully |
Tx:29.1 | There is no time, no | place, no state where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. |
Tx:29.14 | for you to come where you invited Him to be. There is no other | place where He can find His host nor where His host can meet with |
Tx:29.23 | There, in its | place, God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to |
Tx:29.31 | There is a | place in you where this whole world has been forgotten, where no |
Tx:29.31 | where no memory of sin and of illusion lingers still. There is a | place in you which time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard. |
Tx:29.31 | time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting | place so still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden |
Tx:29.31 | is Heaven and is peace. Think not that you can change Their dwelling | place. For your Identity abides in Them, and where They are, forever |
Tx:29.42 | what a joyous thing it is to dwell a little while in such a happy | place! Nor can it be forgot in such a world, it is a little while |
Tx:29.42 | it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the | place of time. |
Tx:29.43 | Each idol that you worship when God calls will never answer in His | place. There is no other answer you can substitute and find the |
Tx:29.48 | dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His | place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget |
Tx:29.49 | have, and thus do you decide what it is for. You try to see in it a | place of idols found outside yourself, with power to make complete |
Tx:29.51 | The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An idol cannot take the | place of God. Let Him remind you of His love for you, and do not seek |
Tx:29.52 | which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a thing, a | place, a situation or a circumstance, an object owned or wanted, or a |
Tx:29.55 | source abides within your mind, where God abideth not. Where is this | place where what is everywhere has been excluded and been kept apart? |
Tx:29.57 | anti-Christ—the strange idea there is a power past omnipotence, a | place beyond the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the |
Tx:29.57 | Here the world of idols has been set by the idea this power and | place and time are given form and shape the world where the |
Tx:29.58 | Where is an idol? Nowhere! Can there be a gap in what is infinite, a | place where time can interrupt eternity? A place of darkness set |
Tx:29.58 | in what is infinite, a place where time can interrupt eternity? A | place of darkness set where all is light, a dismal alcove separated |
Tx:29.58 | light, a dismal alcove separated off from what is endless, has no | place to be. An idol is beyond where God has set all things forever |
Tx:29.59 | of something is an idol for. And when one fails, another takes its | place with hope of finding more of something else. Be not deceived by |
Tx:30.39 | be a substitute for God the Father's love? What form can take the | place of all the love in the divinity of God the Son? What idol can |
Tx:30.46 | earth or not. The sky embraces it and softly holds it in its perfect | place, which is as far from earth as earth from Heaven. It is not the |
Tx:30.54 | to be deceived. And you can make a simple choice that will forever | place you far beyond deception. You need not concern yourself with |
Tx:30.57 | becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the | place of idols which are sought no longer, for their “gifts” are not |
Tx:30.58 | by which it can be gained can now be understood. The world becomes a | place of hope because its only purpose is to be a place where hope of |
Tx:30.58 | world becomes a place of hope because its only purpose is to be a | place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled. And no one stands |
Tx:30.72 | is the only change that lets the real world rise to take the | place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise unless attack is |
Tx:30.88 | what it stands for, and you will believe the world is an uncertain | place in which you walk in danger and uncertainty. It is but your |
Tx:30.94 | upon when you decide there is not one appearance you would hold in | place of what your brother really is. Let no temptation to prefer a |
Tx:31.12 | as you are free because an ancient learning passed away and left a | place for truth to be reborn. |
Tx:31.22 | a call that never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy | place to which you come to listen silently and learn the truth of |
Tx:31.23 | you and thinks perhaps a bit behind, a bit ahead, would be a safer | place for him to be. Can you make progress if you think the same, |
Tx:31.30 | for here guilt rules and orders that the world be like itself—a | place where nothing can find mercy or survive the ravages of fear |
Tx:31.33 | which its purpose is to keep. Why should this be? Because it is a | place where choice among illusions seems to be the only choice. And |
Tx:31.36 | Why would you seek to try another road, another person, or another | place when you have learned the way the lesson starts but do not yet |
Tx:31.44 | no likeness to yourself at all. It is an idol, made to take the | place of your reality as Son of God. The concept of the self the |
Tx:31.64 | passed that both may disappear, so that perception finds no hiding | place. How is this done? It is not done at all. What could there be |
Tx:31.67 | So the world is seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy | place to rest in for a while, where nothing need be feared but only |
Tx:31.84 | Choose once again if you would take your | place among the saviors of the world, or would remain in hell and |
Tx:31.88 | and let Christ's strength prevail in every circumstance and every | place you raised an image of yourself before. For what appears to |
Tx:31.93 | to my words. I ask for nothing but your own release. There is no | place for hell within a world whose loveliness can yet be so intense |
Tx:31.97 | before time was, in calm eternity. The journey closes, ending at the | place where it began. No trace of it remains. Not one illusion is |
W1:I.3 | exercise be repeated several times a day, preferably in a different | place each time and, if possible, in every situation in which you |
W1:14.3 | you have written on the world, and see the Word of God in their | place. The early steps in this exchange, which can truly be called |
W1:15.1 | your body's eyes. It is not seeing. It is image-making. It takes the | place of seeing, replacing vision with illusions. |
W1:26.3 | believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to take the | place of what you are. |
W1:42.2 | through time and space is not random. You cannot but be in the right | place at the right time. Such is the strength of God. Such are His |
W1:45.11 | in Heaven itself to God the Father and God the Son. For such is the | place you are trying to reach. You will probably be unable as yet to |
W1:47.8 | phase of the practice period, try to reach down into your mind to a | place of real safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if |
W1:47.8 | and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. There is a | place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you |
W1:47.8 | There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a | place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you |
W1:47.8 | There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a | place in you where the strength of God abides. |
W1:48.3 | to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, not necessarily in a | place which you recognize as yet, you have remembered God and let His |
W1:48.3 | as yet, you have remembered God and let His strength take the | place of yours. The instant you are willing to do this, there is |
W1:49.4 | We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the | place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God. |
W1:50.4 | the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting | place where your Father has placed you forever. |
W1:R1.4 | be done with your eyes closed and when you are alone in a quiet | place if possible. This is emphasized particularly for reviews at |
W1:51.2 | this, that I may learn to see. What I think I see now is taking the | place of vision. I must let it go by realizing that it has no meaning |
W1:51.2 | go by realizing that it has no meaning so that vision may take its | place. |
W1:51.5 | I am not aware of them because I have made my thoughts to take their | place. I am willing to recognize that my thoughts do not mean |
W1:53.4 | from my belief in it. Now I choose to withdraw this belief and | place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I will escape all the |
W1:53.6 | it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I will | place no other gods before Him. |
W1:55.4 | a world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to see in | place of what I look on now. |
W1:56.4 | to see differently. The world I see holds my fearful self-image in | place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see |
W1:57.4 | a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a | place where he can be set free. I would look upon the world as it is, |
W1:57.4 | be set free. I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a | place where the Son of God finds his freedom. |
W1:57.5 | [34] I could see peace instead of this. When I see the world as a | place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of God |
W1:57.5 | perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this | place with me. |
W1:61.3 | function on earth. It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful | place in salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be |
W1:63.2 | to you. Accept no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its | place or you will forget your function and leave the Son of God in |
W1:64.2 | He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a | place where you learn to forgive yourself what you think of as your |
W1:65.1 | yourself. This is the only way in which you can take your rightful | place among the saviors of the world. This is the only way in which |
W1:70.1 | you must also realize that guilt and salvation must be in the same | place. Understanding this you are saved. |
W1:71.1 | the opposite of God's, you also believe that to accept God's plan in | place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, of |
W1:72.5 | and a deceiver, full of false promises and offering illusions in | place of truth. |
W1:72.8 | of truth and welcome it as Friend. Your chosen savior takes His | place instead. It is your friend; He is your enemy. |
W1:73.9 | will be done. And end forever the insane belief that it is hell in | place of Heaven that you choose. |
W1:78.11 | looked upon the miracle of love the Holy Spirit showed you in their | place. The world and Heaven join in thanking you, for not one thought |
W1:80.1 | given you. Accept that fact, and you are ready to take your rightful | place in God's plan for salvation. |
W1:89.2 | and replace them with miracles. And I would accept the miracles in | place of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the |
W1:90.2 | of the grievance and my welcome of the miracle which takes its | place. |
W1:91.10 | your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their | place. Say, for example: |
W1:92.9 | Self stands ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting | place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where |
W1:92.10 | the body's eyes and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting | place of self and Self, where light and strength are one. |
W1:93.10 | practice period in trying to experience what God has given you in | place of what you have decreed for yourself. |
W1:95.12 | is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try to reach the | place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true. Begin |
W1:96.3 | in conflict could not be resolved, and good and evil have no meeting | place. The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be |
W1:96.4 | physical, your mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no | place in which it could be really part of you. If you are Spirit, |
W1:96.14 | mind go wandering in a world of dreams, to find illusions in their | place. Here are your thoughts, the only ones you have. Salvation is |
W1:98.3 | their function will be filled completely in the perfect time and | place. They took the stand which we will take today that we may share |
W1:99.3 | How could there be a meeting | place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled within a mind |
W1:99.20 | let all fear be gently laid aside that Love may find Its rightful | place in you and show you that you are the Son of God. |
W1:100.4 | on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows go and take their | place beside you in God's plan. God's messengers are joyous, and |
W1:100.8 | be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to take his | place among God's messengers. Think what this means. You have indeed |
W1:100.10 | there. And you can reach Him now. What could you rather look upon in | place of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What little thought |
W1:103.6 | as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the | place of pain. God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster this |
W1:104.1 | God, Who cannot fail to give you what He wills. Yet must there be a | place made ready to receive His gifts. They are not welcomed gladly |
W1:104.3 | Therefore we will to have them now and know in choosing them in | place of what we made we but unite our will with what God wills and |
W1:104.7 | We clear a holy | place within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and |
W1:107.4 | liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no | place because the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They cannot |
W1:108.1 | because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its | place. And now we are at peace forever, for the dream is over now. |
W1:108.4 | depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to be in second | place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the |
W1:109.11 | were born and where they rest. And we remind them of their resting | place each time we tell ourselves, |
W1:110.2 | will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or | place. It is enough to heal the past and make the future free. It is |
W1:R3.6 | | Place the ideas within your mind and let it use them as it chooses. |
W1:111.3 | is the dark His gift dispels by giving me His strength to take its | place. |
W1:121.2 | mind is full of fear and offers love no room to be itself, no | place where it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the |
W1:122.8 | and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the | place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes and |
W1:123.2 | He has saved you from the self you thought you made to take the | place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks today. |
W1:124.2 | God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear and death give | place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to |
W1:125.4 | holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet | place within the mind where He abides forever in the holiness which |
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 |
W1:126.9 | idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper | place in your priorities. It is the thought that will release your |
W1:126.10 | does not understand forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the quiet | place where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat |
W1:127.8 | Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will | place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false |
W1:128.3 | Escape today the chains you | place upon your mind when you perceive salvation here. For what you |
W1:129.5 | the world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take its | place as you unbind your mind from little things the world sets forth |
W1:129.6 | it be given you today. It waits but for your choosing it to take the | place of all the things you seek but do not want. |
W1:130.12 | of Heaven still remains within your range of choice to take the | place of everything that hell would show to you. All you need say to |
W1:131.1 | succeed where contradiction is the setting of his searching and the | place to which he comes to find stability? |
W1:131.10 | Today we will not choose a paradox in | place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the |
W1:131.10 | believes that he abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the | place he cannot find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, |
W1:131.11 | the foolish images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the | place of thoughts which have no meaning, no effect, and neither |
W1:131.14 | think are true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy | place where they can enter not. There is a door beneath them in your |
W1:131.17 | This is a day of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and | place where you will find the goal of all your searching here and all |
W1:132.10 | foundation for today's idea. You are as God created you. There is no | place where you can suffer and no time that can bring change to your |
W1:132.10 | can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of time and | place exist if you remain as God created you? |
W1:133.5 | all of them in time and not been brought so clearly to the | place where there is but one choice that must be made. |
W1:136.7 | stand but for your own decision of what should be real, to take the | place of what is real. |
W1:136.18 | flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to take the | place of war and vain imaginings. There will be no dark corners |
W1:137.5 | have not occurred. Just as the real world will arise to take the | place of what has never been at all, healing but offers restitution |
W1:137.7 | forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world will occupy the | place of what you made, so healing must replace the fantasies of |
W1:137.16 | hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of God to take the | place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we |
W1:139.6 | universal here is true? Nothing the world believes is true. It is a | place whose purpose is to be a home where those who claim they do not |
W1:140.5 | in holy temples. He is barred where sin has entered. Yet there is no | place where He is not. And therefore sin can have no home in which to |
W1:140.5 | can have no home in which to hide from His beneficence. There is no | place where holiness is not, and nowhere sin and sickness can abide. |
W1:R4.5 | and hold correction off through self-deceptions made to take its | place. |
W1:R4.6 | only what you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the | place of truth. No more than can a child who throws a stick into the |
W1:R4.9 | be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed and to | place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that |
W1:151.3 | was than this. But how else do you judge the world you see? You | place pathetic faith in what your eyes and ears report. You think |
W1:152.8 | The power of decision is our own. Decide but to accept your rightful | place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made will |
W1:152.8 | that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will take the | place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father |
W1:153.13 | happy game upon this earth. And then we go to take our rightful | place where truth abides and games are meaningless. |
W1:155.2 | is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a | place where they can be illusions and avoid their own reality. Yet |
W1:157.3 | lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy | place and leaves you for a moment to your Self. |
W1:158.6 | world of doubt and shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet | place within the world made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are |
W1:158.9 | a vision of the holiness which lies beyond them comes to take their | place. It matters not what form they took nor how enormous they |
W1:160.3 | reason be except that you had asked this stranger in to take your | place and let you be a stranger to yourself? No one would let himself |
W1:160.7 | this stranger in your midst, for you have given him your rightful | place. Yet is your Self as certain of Its own as God is of His Son. |
W1:163.3 | engendered and to leave the taste of dust and ashes in their wake in | place of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted on. For it |
W1:165.2 | Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting | place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and |
W1:170.12 | stone you made and call it god no longer. You have reached this | place before, but you have chosen that this cruel god remain with you |
W1:170.13 | And now your heart remains at peace forever. You have chosen Him in | place of idols, and your attributes, given by your Creator, are |
W1:R5.9 | My resurrection comes again each time I lead a brother safely to the | place at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each time |
W1:R5.15 | periods, but to recall the mind as needed to its purpose. We | place faith in the experience that comes from practice, not the means |
W1:182.1 | is true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a | place that called you to return, although you do not recognize the |
W1:182.4 | home that you would find again. The childhood of your body and its | place of shelter are a memory now so distorted that you merely hold a |
W1:183.11 | to let all things he thought he made be nameless now, and in their | place the holy Name of God becomes his judgment of their |
W1:184.1 | to which you give a different name—all happenings in terms of | place and time, all bodies which are greeted by a name. |
W1:184.7 | what the world would teach stops short of meaning. In its proper | place, it serves but as a starting point from which another kind of |
W1:184.12 | He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the | place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds |
W1:184.15 | our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give in | place of every one of them. Your Name is our salvation and escape |
W1:185.1 | would be no further sorrow possible for you in any form, in any | place or time. Heaven would be completely given back to full |
W1:185.4 | bargain can give them the peace of God? Illusions come to take His | place. And what He means is lost to sleeping minds intent on |
W1:185.7 | acknowledges illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in the | place of shifting dreams which seem to change in what they offer, but |
W1:185.9 | should be asked of all of them: “Is this what I would have, in | place of Heaven and the peace of God?” This is the choice you make. |
W1:185.12 | the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the | place of truth. |
W1:187.8 | Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no | place for sacrifice in what has any value. If the thought occurs, its |
W1:189.5 | you will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a | place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held |
W1:190.3 | Pain is a sign illusions reign in | place of truth. It demonstrates God is denied, confused with fear, |
W1:190.6 | its own inheritance and keep it as a hospital for pain, a sickly | place where living things must come at last to die? |
W1:190.8 | eternity and Heaven. And the world becomes a cruel and a bitter | place, where sorrow rules and little joys give way before the |
W1:190.9 | Lay down your arms and come without defense into the quiet | place where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last. Lay down |
W1:190.11 | as we are free to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in | place of sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of |
W1:191.5 | But let today's idea find a | place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above the world and |
W1:191.5 | and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from this | place of safety and escape, you will return and set it free. For he |
W1:194.1 | has reached the lawns that welcome you to Heaven's gate, the quiet | place of peace where you await with certainty the final step of God. |
W1:194.4 | really found in time. You are but asked to let the future go and | place it in God's hands. And you will see by your experience that you |
W1:194.8 | | Place, then, your future in the hands of God. For thus you call the |
W1:195.9 | Today we learn to think of gratitude in | place of anger, malice, and revenge. We have been given everything. |
W1:195.9 | to our bitterness and to a self-perception which regards us in a | place of merciless pursuit where we are badgered ceaselessly and |
W1:198.5 | instead of trying to dismiss His words and substitute your own in | place of His? |
W1:198.6 | as this one will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its | place, for it will be remembered then and loved. |
W1:198.7 | has no meaning and attack appears as justified. Yet all are one—a | place where death is offered to God's Son and to his Father. You may |
W1:198.7 | may think They have accepted, but if you will look again upon the | place where you beheld Their blood, you will perceive a miracle |
W1:R6.10 | And then repeat the idea for the day, and let it take the | place of what you thought. Beyond such special applications of each |
W1:R6.11 | To Him I offer this review for you. I | place you in His charge and let Him teach you what to do and say and |
W1:213.1 | have me learn. A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me in | place of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes |
W1:214.1 | [194] I | place the future in the hands of God. The past is gone; the future |
W2:WF.1 | its falsity and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its | place is now the Will of God. |
W2:226.2 | are open, and I hear Your Voice. What need have I to linger in a | place of vain desires and of broken dreams when Heaven can so easily |
W2:WS.4 | Let us come daily to this holy | place and spend a while together. Here we share our final dream. It |
W2:233.1 | I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In | place of them, give me Your own. I give You all my acts as well, that |
W2:WIW.2 | what is fear except love's absence? Thus the world was meant to be a | place where God could enter not and where His Son could be apart from |
W2:249.1 | is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a | place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is now so |
W2:WIS.1 | by which the mind is driven mad and seeks to let illusions take the | place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the truth |
W2:264.1 | Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the | place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I |
W2:264.1 | and every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears and | place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and |
W2:279.1 | Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with truth established in their | place. And now is freedom his already. Should I wait in chains which |
W2:281.1 | forgotten what You think and put my little, meaningless ideas in | place of where Your Thoughts belong and where They are. I can be hurt |
W2:286.1 | Father, how still today! How quietly do all things fall in | place! This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I |
W2:WISC.1 | forever true. It is the invitation to God's Word to take illusion's | place, the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all things |
W2:317.1 | I have a special | place to fill—a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take |
W2:328.1 | What seems to be the second | place is first, for all things we perceive are upside-down until we |
W2:332.1 | Real. Forgiveness bids this presence enter in and take its rightful | place within the mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, |
W2:344.1 | as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty | place where nothing ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? |
W2:E.4 | And now I | place you in His hands, to be His faithful followers, with Him as |
M:1.3 | in words or soundlessly, in any language or in no language, in any | place or time or manner. It does not matter who the teacher was |
M:2.4 | had not met before. The pupil comes at the right time to the right | place. This is inevitable, because he made the right choice in that |
M:4.4 | when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him? And who would | place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of |
M:4.15 | And who would choose the weakness that must come from harm in | place of the unfailing, all-encompassing, and limitless strength of |
M:5.7 | all confusion about creation. Does not this follow of necessity? | Place cause and effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the |
M:5.9 | Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you choose sickness in | place of this? |
M:8.6 | as reality is wholly real, apart from size and shape and time and | place—for differences cannot exist within it—so too are illusions |
M:14.5 | The world will end in joy because it is a | place of sorrow. When joy has come, the purpose of the world has |
M:14.5 | of the world has gone. The world will end in peace because it is a | place of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? |
M:14.5 | purpose of the world? The world will end in laughter because it is a | place of tears. Where there is laughter, who can longer weep? And |
M:16.6 | because all things are freed within it. You think you made a | place of safety for yourself. You think you made a power that can |
M:16.8 | sure success is not of him but will be given him at any time, in any | place and circumstance he calls for it. There are times his certainty |
M:16.8 | and the instant this occurs he will return to earlier attempts to | place reliance on himself alone. Forget not this is magic and that |
M:17.5 | surely so. And herein lies the birthplace of guilt. Who usurps the | place of God and takes it for himself now has a deadly “enemy.” And |
M:17.7 | Each one says clearly to your frightened mind, “You have usurped the | place of God. Think not He has forgotten.” Here we have the fear of |
M:19.3 | in which all thought of wholeness must be lost. Forgiveness has no | place in such a scheme, for not one “sin” but seems forever true. |
M:20.2 | a contrast of true differences. The past just slips away and in its | place is everlasting quiet. Only that. The contrast first perceived |
M:22.3 | that can order a mind to do as it sees fit would merely take the | place of God and prove salvation is impossible. What then is left to |
M:28.6 | asleep and seeing there the vision of Christ's face to take the | place of what they dreamed. The thought of murder is replaced with |
M:29.7 | knows but His Son, and as he was created, so he is. In confidence I | place you in His hands, and I give thanks for you that this is so. |
A Course of Love (297) |
C:P.4 | assuming there would be such a state in which learning could take | place would be meaningless. |
C:P.11 | abdicating love to fear. You are perhaps making this world a better | place but you are not abolishing it. In your acceptance of doing good |
C:P.17 | and at times miraculous deeds without the world changing from a | place of misery and despair. What is more arrogant? To believe that |
C:P.23 | hit a wall rather than come across a bridge. It is precisely the | place at which you stopped that you must return to. Those who |
C:P.26 | the family together as one is love. The family is, in fact, the only | place where unconditional love is seen as acceptable. Thus, no matter |
C:P.28 | of you that rages against injustice, pain, and horror does so from a | place that does not accept and will never accept that these things |
C:P.36 | shape, and scope like unto the old and hope to transport it from one | place to another would be delusional. The new world does not have to |
C:P.39 | see yourself “other than” as man or woman living in a particular | place in a particular time, you cannot see your Self. Thus Jesus |
C:P.40 | aware of the fact that if you could not see the transformation take | place “with your own two eyes,” you would not believe that the two |
C:1.1 | being has a heart. Let us define heart as the center of being, that | place from which all feeling arises. All true feeling is love. All |
C:1.2 | of love. Lack of love is nothing. Thus, all offerings made from a | place other than love are nothing. All offerings made from a place of |
C:1.2 | from a place other than love are nothing. All offerings made from a | place of fear or guilt are nothing. |
C:1.3 | human form your heart must beat for the life of your self to take | place. This is the nature of your reality. Love is as essential to |
C:1.7 | are needed. How silly you feel to have carted them from one | place to the next. What a waste of time and energy to have been |
C:1.18 | love is a choice for heaven. A choice of fear is hell. Neither are a | place. They are a further reflection of means and end being the same. |
C:2.6 | in anger in another, and that both actions originate from the same | place, is an error of enormous proportions. You again label love a |
C:3.7 | functions and you think not that they are all the same. You | place values on each one based on usefulness or pleasant appearance, |
C:3.7 | or pleasant appearance, on popularity or on reputation. Each one you | place in relationship to yourself, and so you do not even see the |
C:3.12 | it is only in the study of the two that you believe learning takes | place. |
C:4.6 | In your knowledge of your Self, all threat of time and space and | place dissolves. You may still walk an alien land, but not in a fog |
C:4.10 | nor can you earn more of God's love than you have, or a better | place in Heaven. The mind, under the ego's direction, has thrived on |
C:4.10 | on winners and on losers, on striving for and earning a better | place. The heart knows not these distinctions, and those who think |
C:4.20 | The world you struggle so to navigate is what you have made it, a | place where love fits not and enters not in truth. But love has |
C:4.20 | love has entered you and leaves you not, and so you too must have no | place in this world that you have made but must have another where |
C:4.21 | The lucky ones among you have made a | place resembling home within your world. It is where you keep love |
C:4.21 | another day. You spend your life intent upon retiring to this safe | place you have made of love in a world of madness, and hope that you |
C:4.27 | nothingness from which it came as a new world rises up to take its | place. |
C:5.8 | from all the rest. In setting love apart, you recognized it had no | place here; but you went on to set yourself apart and all else that |
C:5.9 | displaced as to make a mockery of who you are. Love does mark your | place—but in eternity, not here. What you leave behind is never |
C:5.22 | of which you have conceived. Over all your longing for union you | place this desire to be separate and alone. Your entire resistance to |
C:5.32 | awaits you as you join with what you see. This awaits you as you | place no judgment on the world, and in so doing join with everything |
C:6.2 | of it no more, and you will gently let it go and find heaven in its | place. |
C:6.17 | accomplishment. With peace, accomplishment is achieved in the only | place where it makes any sense to desire it. With your accomplishment |
C:6.19 | Think about this now—for how could heaven be a separate | place? A piece of geography distinct from all the rest? How could it |
C:6.19 | and still be what it is: home to God's beloved son and dwelling | place of God Himself? It is because God is not separate from anything |
C:7.21 | most predominate in your society. Thus the truth is different in one | place than it is in another and it even appears to be in conflict. |
C:7.21 | even though you are aware of their instability in time as well as | place, and so you live with constant denial that even what is known |
C:8.6 | You think of the heart as the | place of feeling, and thus you associate emotions with your heart. |
C:8.8 | heart, where is love? If these illusions were real there would be no | place for love at all, but love abides where illusion cannot enter. |
C:8.10 | hidden from you, your recognition that a truth is available in a | place other than on the surface is useful to us now, as is your |
C:8.11 | You look from separation's stance rather than from the grace-filled | place of union. Perhaps you are thinking now that if you knew how |
C:8.18 | you are perhaps more aware than ever before of being in a particular | place and time. As you stand back and observe your body, this is what |
C:8.18 | your body, this is what you will see: a form moving through time and | place. You may be more aware than ever of its actions and complaints, |
C:9.13 | labeled this or that often are not content to stay where you would | place them. They seem to betray you, when it is you who betray them |
C:9.14 | memories trying to reveal the truth to you. They call to you from a | place that you know not. The difficulty is that the only self that is |
C:9.14 | of denial or contempt. It is your language that gives emotion its | place, one step behind fear, in your battle to control or protect |
C:9.21 | that you could bring this one in from that dark and dangerous | place. She is cold, and you prepare a fire and give her a warm |
C:9.28 | than what it is? Have you not seen this kind of distortion take | place within the reality you do see? Is this not the story of the |
C:9.30 | than that you are using it. You do so out of guilt in an attempt to | place your guilt outside yourself. “My body made me do it” is like |
C:9.34 | and lay to ruin. The only thing that might succeed in proving your | place as that of royal inheritor would be if you could fix yourself |
C:9.38 | balance, and try to find something for one part of yourself in one | place and something for another somewhere else. This one fulfills |
C:9.41 | idolatry tells you that glory is for the few, and so you take your | place in line at the starting gate and make your bid for glory. You |
C:9.44 | of use obvious to both the user and the usee, and so has its proper | place in our discussion here. Look at patterns of abuse, in |
C:9.45 | destructive force of such abuse is easily apparent. Again you would | place the blame outside yourself and label drugs, alcohol, tobacco, |
C:10.6 | Be warned that it will constantly try to interfere as long as you | place any merit in what it tells you. |
C:10.21 | return impossible and count themselves lucky for not going to the | place from which change would become inevitable. |
C:10.23 | fear lies beneath the surface, see the advantage of this exercise: | Place your body out in front of yourself where you can be its silent |
C:10.32 | you. “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You will know there is a | place within yourself where you are missed and longed for and safe |
C:11.6 | you have made has been shaken now, and you realize you would like to | place your faith elsewhere. You would like to, but you have your |
C:11.13 | the final line of defense, the site where the final battle will take | place. Before this final battle is reached your willingness to change |
C:11.18 | obligation. But a dinner party where love is welcomed to take its | place becomes a celebration. Your table becomes an altar to the Lord |
C:12.7 | the energy required to keep the world of your illusion in its | place, you would understand the rest that will simply come of giving |
C:12.12 | is not what it was meant to be. On a lovely day and in a lovely | place you can see that creation's paradise still exists, but nowhere |
C:12.21 | The Father did not prevent the idea of separation from taking | place, and could not any more than you could prevent an idea from |
C:14.3 | make yourself inferior, and you are always making for yourself a | place at one of these extremes. And all this effort and conflict |
C:14.4 | God provided you with a paradise not of this world, a separate | place to honor your specialness and separation from all else that He |
C:14.19 | is dependent upon you. And no wonder that when you find a respite, a | place of rest and beauty and of love, you want to claim it for your |
C:14.19 | plot and plan for what they never have the opportunity to put into | place. Still others are more coy in their design, and dress it up to |
C:15.12 | as well as his birthright and your own. You only need be open to the | place that no specialness can enter, and bid your brother choose for |
C:16.10 | basis that it uses no judgment! Here you can see the value that you | place on judgment, even to the ridiculous notion that you can judge |
C:16.16 | Your judgment has not made the world a better | place! If history proves anything, it proves the opposite of what you |
C:16.16 | make themselves. For all of you here know that judgment is not your | place, and that it belongs to God and God alone. This is firmly |
C:17.13 | of your body has prepared you for this. Step back now to the | place that has been held for you. You have not lost “your place in |
C:17.13 | now to the place that has been held for you. You have not lost “your | place in line” because you wandered. It has been held for you by the |
C:18.5 | This chain I have described helps you to imagine the | place I hold for you, as you held mine when I entered the world in |
C:18.6 | as a curse, as a punishment from God, or as your home, a dwelling | place that keeps you separate, then you can begin to see it as what |
C:18.8 | who comprise it, and imagine the life that you experience now taking | place much like that you would see projected on a movie screen. You |
C:18.8 | you would see projected on a movie screen. You have not left your | place as you view this movie and experience its sights and sounds, |
C:19.5 | on faith alone. Experience is needed to change your beliefs and to | place your faith securely in them. The first step in leading you to |
C:19.12 | must learn to see yourself as you see your brothers and sisters, and | place your belief not in differences but in sameness. |
C:19.21 | past does not abide in you. What you need rather do is strive for a | place of stillness from which what needs review can arise as if it |
C:20.10 | imaginal, a dream that requires you not to leave your home, your | place of safety and of rest. You are cradled gently while your spirit |
C:20.17 | people who would as soon do you harm as good. It is but the | place of your interaction with all that lives within you, sharing the |
C:20.44 | and acting. It will immediately make the world a kinder, gentler | place. And it is only a beginning. |
C:21.5 | one another might recognize that the other's “heart is in the right | place.” The “right place” with two people—as with mind and heart— |
C:21.5 | The “right place” with two people—as with mind and heart—is the | place of no division. The unification of mind and heart that produces |
C:22.19 | a moment of how you tell a story or report on events that have taken | place within your life. You personalize. You are likely to report on |
C:24.3 | can be seen as a sign. Let them alert you that unlearning is taking | place. Welcome them as harbingers of this good news. Know that the |
C:25.19 | This is unlearning taking | place. It may feel frustrating and be tinged with anxiety, anger, |
C:25.20 | be linked with ego as well. Your personal self will be looking for a | place in which to reside. It will be looking for identity. It will |
C:25.21 | to make conscious decisions the quicker your unlearning will take | place and the lessons of discernment occur. Discernment is needed |
C:26.19 | only that you be open and allow giving and receiving as one to take | place. It asks only that you be unoccupied with the old so that the |
C:26.23 | the story that is you. Can you not see that you were birthed into a | place in the pattern of God's creation? Or that you not only can know |
C:26.23 | Or that you not only can know but have always known of this | place? |
C:26.24 | This is not a | place of physical form but a place of holiness, an integral place in |
C:26.24 | This is not a place of physical form but a | place of holiness, an integral place in the pattern that is oneness |
C:26.24 | is not a place of physical form but a place of holiness, an integral | place in the pattern that is oneness with God. It is a place you have |
C:26.24 | an integral place in the pattern that is oneness with God. It is a | place you have never left but that you long for, believing that you |
C:26.25 | of God, you grew simultaneously with God's thought. You knew your | place in the pattern of creation from the outset. A full life is |
C:28.4 | Few are chosen to be prophets, and the plethora of testimony taking | place is brought about by innocence more so than by wisdom. This |
C:29.12 | It is extremely important for you to realize that God's work takes | place outside of time, as do all acts of true service or creation. |
C:29.21 | to make choices is an act that comes from an entirely different | place than decision-making. Claiming is akin to prayer and is but an |
C:31.6 | know that if you had to consciously cause these functions to take | place, you would surely die, for managing the workings of the body |
C:31.12 | How the ego becomes dislodged matters not. What matters is where you | place your devotion. |
C:31.33 | receiving being one in truth. Giving and receiving are both taking | place, both at the same time, as are seeking and finding, once you |
T1:1.9 | ego-mind had to be circumvented in order for true learning to take | place. This is what A Course of Love accomplished. This learning was |
T1:4.21 | but response. Response was what was required in the first | place and your inability to respond need not be repeated. You are |
T1:5.6 | real to you. The lucky among you have made of this in-between | place an adventure, and are happy in your seeking. You do not care to |
T1:5.7 | in-between you have created between all and nothing. This in-between | place is your comfort zone and, although you feel compelled to push |
T1:6.2 | How is this revelation to take | place? It will begin by learning the art of thought as the act of |
T1:8.3 | truth. There was only one truth at the time the event or change took | place, and there is only one truth in time or eternity regardless of |
T1:9.15 | or the intellect. The perceived attack will have entered at the | place where you have placed your highest value and are thus most |
T2:1.4 | of perfection, and you may find in this a somewhat peaceful resting | place to dwell in for a time. You may find that despite having |
T2:1.5 | This resting | place is indeed hallowed ground and an earned respite, a demarcation |
T2:1.5 | But it is not the end that is sought. No matter how peaceful this | place of rest may at first seem, it will soon become stagnant and |
T2:1.5 | seem, it will soon become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in such a | place without further instruction, you would soon return to your old |
T2:1.6 | This | place is not life but neither is it death, for even death is not an |
T2:1.6 | but neither is it death, for even death is not an eternal resting | place in the sense that you have imagined it. Even rest, once truly |
T2:1.6 | Even rest, once truly learned, is simply rest. It is not a resting | place, a place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is |
T2:1.6 | once truly learned, is simply rest. It is not a resting place, a | place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is a place |
T2:1.6 | a place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is a | place at which life stops and death reigns. It is not a point at |
T2:1.8 | of this Course, unity, like rest, may have come to be viewed as a | place at which you can arrive. Like peace, it may feel like a bubble |
T2:1.8 | seems to reign there. You must realize that you think in terms of | place because you think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used |
T2:1.8 | 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 think |
T2:1.9 | that you hang upon your wall. The time of painting becomes a | place. A room or studio is envisioned in which all the tools of the |
T2:1.10 | Thought “forms” are the product of the separation. Unity is not a | place or a thing but the realm of the one heart and one mind; the |
T2:3.2 | What I refer to so often here as being within, as if “within” is a | place in which something resides, is unity and it is the place where |
T2:3.2 | is a place in which something resides, is unity and it is the | place where being resides. It is the place or realm of one heart and |
T2:3.2 | resides, is unity and it is the place where being resides. It is the | place or realm of one heart and one mind. It is the place where |
T2:3.2 | It is the place or realm of one heart and one mind. It is the | place where everything already exists fully realized. It is like a |
T2:4.9 | the conflict of two opposing sets of thoughts and feelings to the | place of unity. |
T2:4.13 | where there is no division between who you are and what you do. This | place of no division is the place of unity. |
T2:4.13 | who you are and what you do. This place of no division is the | place of unity. |
T2:4.14 | accepting who you are. Accepting where you are, as if it is a static | place at which you have arrived, is not the goal that has been set. |
T2:6.1 | alerts you to the treasures that lie within. There is no time in the | place we are calling within and your heart knows not of time even |
T2:6.1 | not of time even while it adheres to the rules of time you would | place upon yourself. Cease adhering to the rules of time and see how |
T2:6.2 | If you can begin now to think without the barriers of time you but | place upon your thinking, you will advance this process and more |
T2:6.6 | will be in unity. There is only what is. Thus the limits you would | place on the concept of something being what it is, must be part of |
T2:7.7 | be tempted to believe that giving and receiving as one is not taking | place. Your previous pattern of behavior will be quick to assert |
T2:7.19 | does mean that you bring the thoughts and feelings that arise to the | place within your heart that has been prepared for them. You do not |
T2:7.19 | bring them first to your Self, to the Self joined in unity at the | place of your heart. From this place you learn to discriminate, to |
T2:7.19 | to the Self joined in unity at the place of your heart. From this | place you learn to discriminate, to separate the false from the true, |
T2:7.19 | from the true, for your ego thoughts cannot long abide in the holy | place of your heart. Then, with truth and illusion separated, you |
T2:8.6 | from home for home is who you are, a “place” you carry within you, a | place that is you. This is the home of unity. |
T2:9.4 | to having a reaction to this meeting of a need as if it takes | place apart from you, or from outside of you. You assign the meeting |
T2:13.4 | the time of separation and the beginning of the time of unity taking | place around you, practice the beliefs that have been put forth in |
T2:13.5 | another in gratitude. This is the attitude of the wholehearted, the | place from which all calls are sounded and received, the place where |
T2:13.5 | the place from which all calls are sounded and received, the | place where the true thinking of those united in mind and heart |
T3:1.13 | work now to correct the errors of the past in the present, the only | place where such work can be done. We work with what we have, a form |
T3:4.7 | You can dismantle the ego and build another in its | place and this has at times been done in the individual with great |
T3:6.6 | bitterness itself behind. Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling | place of Christ and we will seal the place of its entrance with the |
T3:6.6 | no longer to the dwelling place of Christ and we will seal the | place of its entrance with the sweetness of love so that bitterness |
T3:8.4 | of many past lives, the identity you hold in this time and this | place still believes in its own history and that of those who came |
T3:9.3 | beyond its walls. You might think, at first, that you are in a | place so foreign that you must immediately begin to learn again, |
T3:10.3 | The first thing I ask you to forget is your need to find a | place where blame can be placed. You who have been waiting to get to |
T3:10.3 | yourself is as senseless as blaming others and your inclination to | place blame upon yourself must be given up as well. When it is said |
T3:10.5 | space you will long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to | place blame will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would |
T3:10.5 | I offer it not as a replacement, what you will find will come in the | place of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is |
T3:10.7 | to you to become aware of the total change that has, in truth, taken | place. |
T3:10.8 | reactions to people and situations and much like forgetting to | place blame. |
T3:11.3 | of Truth represent an awareness of a new reality, a new dwelling | place. |
T3:11.4 | in the House of Truth does not represent a structure but a dwelling | place. The word house as used in the house of illusion does represent |
T3:11.4 | self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the dwelling | place of those who no longer live in fear and thus have no need for a |
T3:13.6 | This is a simple | place to start because each of you are tempted to hang on to this |
T3:13.7 | I say this is a simple | place to start because you can put this new idea into practice today |
T3:14.12 | onto the past as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take | place. The past is no more and neither the present nor the future can |
T3:15.1 | others. For most mature adults, some form of new beginning has taken | place or been offered. Often, those within the relationship of |
T3:15.2 | types of new beginnings and all that would hamper them from taking | place. |
T3:15.9 | that, like all others that you have offered or attempted, will take | place in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning will |
T3:15.9 | in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning will take | place in holy, rather than special, relationship. |
T3:16.14 | be good, to help others, and to struggle to make the world a better | place, fall into this category. Your notions of wanting to protect or |
T3:16.17 | Accept one “part” or tenet of the truth and see the reverse take | place. See how quickly the thought system of the truth builds upon |
T3:17.5 | true, your true Self had to be appealed to for this learning to take | place. |
T3:18.3 | It is thus from observable form that the final learning will take | place. This is the perfect example of using what you have made for a |
T3:20.2 | is but a measurement of, it rightly follows that learning can take | place at a slow pace or a fast pace. There is no more or less to |
T3:21.10 | been seen as your personal self. Thus your personal self is the only | place in which you have experience that can now be used for a new |
T3:22.13 | both of yourself and of what you desire, is an act that takes | place in the here and now that is and brings what is into existence. |
T3:22.13 | does not appear to exist with you in the here and now is not, and | place it in a separate category, a category that only exists in the |
T4:1.23 | of your ancestors despite the advances of learning that have taken | place, it is a different world. You have not known the secret |
T4:3.10 | will allow you to elevate the personal self to its rightful | place within the nature of a world of love. |
T4:10.5 | the greatest teacher. Studying places the power of the teacher in a | place other than that of love. Relationship happens as it happens. |
T4:10.13 | of learning will change the world. They will make the world a better | place and see many of their students advance beyond what they can |
D:1.11 | Help is here. Be what you have been called to be. Open your dwelling | place to your true Self, your true identity. Imagine this opening and |
D:4.19 | Thus without limiting this freedom at all, let us simply speak of a | place and a way to begin to experience it, and of a place and a way |
D:4.19 | speak of a place and a way to begin to experience it, and of a | place and a way to begin to create the new. |
D:4.20 | This | place and this way begins at the prison doors, begins, as we said |
D:4.23 | I remind you that there is no authority to whom you can turn. But in | place of that “outside” authority, I give you your own authority, an |
D:4.26 | release is at hand and it will come from your own authority and no | place else. It is up to you to accept that your release is possible, |
D:6.1 | you that the time of “teaching” like the time of “learning” had its | place as well as its methods. |
D:6.9 | impossible to repopulate the earth afterwards even if it had taken | place as described. |
D:7.4 | Experiences of form take | place in time because experience, too, was designed for learning. Now |
D:7.8 | of time and space. It may still exist in a particular time and | place, but this is simply the nature of one aspect of what you are. |
D:7.13 | This discovery can only take | place in the reality of love. |
D:7.16 | Observation takes | place in time. Even while you have been called to observe what is, |
D:8.2 | Imagine this first as a | place where no learning is needed. Ah, you might say now, this you |
D:8.7 | what you now think of as your natural talents or abilities, the | place or Source of your natural talents or abilities is a place from |
D:8.7 | the place or Source of your natural talents or abilities is a | place from which to start building your awareness of what is |
D:8.10 | The self and the expression of self that comes from any | place other than wholeheartedness is not the true Self or the true |
D:8.12 | yearning for union with that from which it is divided. Enter the | place of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the place of |
D:8.12 | that from which it is divided. Enter the place of no division, the | place of shared consciousness, the place of wholeness. The natural |
D:8.12 | the place of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the | place of wholeness. The natural ability that you recognize as a given |
D:9.4 | you are in one way or another all of your life without reaching the | place of fulfillment you have sought. Even now, when you have learned |
D:11.17 | ways that lead to many paths of seeking, but illusion can provide no | place in which the seeking ends and the truth is found. |
D:11.18 | In unity! Unity is where the heart and mind are joined. Unity is the | place from which the expression, the right-minded action of the |
D:12.4 | capable of hearing the same language, you truly began to enter the | place of unity, to take the step outside of the dot of the body. |
D:12.13 | coming to know of the Self joined in unity, enters you through the | place of mind and heart joined in wholeheartedness at the center of |
D:12.13 | and heart joined in wholeheartedness at the center of yourself, a | place that has nothing to do with the body. That you listen, hear, |
D:14.10 | for learning is incremental and discovery is not. Learning took | place in parts in an effort to lead to wholeness. Discovery comes to |
D:15.22 | of the highest mountain. These dialogues might be seen as taking | place there, with the guide and the team of climbers who accompanied |
D:16.4 | in which the unified principles of creation are seen to be taking | place as separate steps. This is so because of the condition of time. |
D:17.24 | him home. To where he started from. In story form, this takes | place with movement. Years are spent traveling many paths and many |
D:Day1.3 | my words, and these words are what have brought you here, not to a | place but to an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who I am, |
D:Day1.14 | I now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a different | place. Have I not called you to a new time in which the conditions of |
D:Day1.14 | are banished, rejected, and a new world of love accepted in their | place? |
D:Day2.11 | or a flood. Yes, this was different, but this difference does not | place these actions beyond the idea of acceptance. |
D:Day3.17 | in the case of those “born” to money. Thus this is a good | place to start, since inheritance is that of which we speak. Let's be |
D:Day3.26 | Love. But beyond learning is where we now stand. We now stand at the | place of the rejection of learning—the rejection of all you learned. |
D:Day3.39 | When you have felt the reality of union, you have felt the | place in which no want exists. You felt this through the |
D:Day3.42 | which your desires are responded to. This does not mean that the | place of unity is a place that does not interact with the place of |
D:Day3.42 | are responded to. This does not mean that the place of unity is a | place that does not interact with the place of form. It is |
D:Day3.42 | that the place of unity is a place that does not interact with the | place of form. It is interacting with the world of form through you. |
D:Day3.44 | you are being asked to do here, is to open the self of form to the | place of unity, thus allowing this divine flow of union into the |
D:Day4.13 | free from learning, a state free from death. To be told that such a | place exists is no more comforting than consoling words if you do not |
D:Day4.13 | than consoling words if you do not feel you have access to this | place. It is like being told that all of the treasure you might |
D:Day4.25 | truth. On your own, only illusion can be learned, for your starting | place is illusion. |
D:Day4.26 | treasure and the key to the treasure. Union is both access and the | place to which you desire access. As all that exists in truth, union |
D:Day4.35 | You might think of the mountain top as symbolic of a | place close to God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and |
D:Day4.35 | to God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and heaven as a | place beyond the clouds, then the mountain top was symbolic of |
D:Day4.35 | the mountain top was symbolic of proximity. It was symbolic of a | place from which God was almost touchable. As if one could raise ones |
D:Day4.35 | to all that lies beyond time and space, to all that exists in the | place of unity. |
D:Day4.42 | Smile with me now, as you think of yourself in this elevated | place. You are still the self of form despite the truth that you are |
D:Day4.42 | self of form despite the truth that you are literally with me in a | place of high elevation. Is this what you choose to remain? A self of |
D:Day4.43 | transformed into the elevated Self of form? Do you want to know this | place of access and carry it within you, or do you only wish the |
D:Day4.45 | what A Course of Love taught you so that you could be taken to this | place and tempted to leave behind the temptations of the human |
D:Day5.3 | does not mean that these experiences come from your mind or from a | place just beyond your physical concept of the mind but, since you |
D:Day5.5 | be of your own choosing. Your point of access may be your head, or a | place just above or to the right or left of your head. It may be your |
D:Day6.6 | a piece of music, like the creation of a painting or a poem, takes | place in stages. |
D:Day6.7 | late in its development. But at some point, the sharing will take | place, and the reactions of those with whom the music is shared will |
D:Day6.7 | touches will be put on the piece. Some collaboration might take | place to get it just right. By the time the artist has completed the |
D:Day6.19 | Learning takes the student away from “normal” life and creates a | place for teaching and only calls this place elevated. Awareness, |
D:Day6.19 | “normal” life and creates a place for teaching and only calls this | place elevated. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery cannot occur in |
D:Day6.19 | elevated. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery cannot occur in a | place set apart from “normal” life. Believe me when I tell you that |
D:Day6.19 | phrase here. It is not the other way around. You cannot find a | place outside of yourself that will allow for the elevation of which |
D:Day6.19 | this. It is only the relationship we are developing in this elevated | place within that will bring to your full realization and |
D:Day6.20 | to change my focus, to engage me in debate, to lure me from the | place of elevation I knew I had attained. The temptations of the |
D:Day6.20 | externally removed from them cannot remove them. Only a created | place within can do so. |
D:Day6.21 | This | place within is what we are creating here. It is a truly elevated |
D:Day6.21 | place within is what we are creating here. It is a truly elevated | place. It is as real as a mountain top, in fact much more real. Were |
D:Day7.8 | exist in fear. As with Christ-consciousness, you are moving from a | place of maintenance of these conditions to one of sustainability of |
D:Day8.4 | labeling good or bad; only then can you deal with anything from a | place of peace. |
D:Day8.9 | However, a simple acceptance that you do not like the gossip taking | place in a present moment situation, will enable you not to |
D:Day8.27 | are still in need of this full acceptance or you will not reach the | place of sustainability. Every situation and every feeling that you |
D:Day9.1 | removed ourselves from life in any way, and yet we have reached a | place of retreat, a place of safety and of rest, a place away from |
D:Day9.1 | from life in any way, and yet we have reached a place of retreat, a | place of safety and of rest, a place away from “normal” life and the |
D:Day9.1 | we have reached a place of retreat, a place of safety and of rest, a | place away from “normal” life and the lack of freedom you have |
D:Day9.5 | be realized together for the elevation of the self of form to take | place. What good will be the certainty of unity if the self of form |
D:Day9.15 | goal, a carrot of fulfillment the ego but dangled before you in the | place it called the future. As with all messages of the ego, it but |
D:Day9.31 | a god seen as “other than” puts all that you would long for in a | place outside of, or beyond, the self you are now. |

Tx:5.93 | But the time is now. You have not been asked to work out the | plan of salvation yourselves because, as I told you before, the |

Tx:9.12 | The ego, too, has a | plan of forgiveness because you are asking for one, though not of |

Tx:11.7 | How simple, then, is God's | plan for salvation. There is but one response to reality, for |
Tx:11.98 | guilt by making it real and then atoning for it. This is the ego's | plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The ego believes in |
Tx:12.48 | would anticipate the future on the basis of your past experience and | plan for it accordingly. Yet by doing so, you are aligning past and |
Tx:13.46 | From Him you cannot wander, and there is no possibility that the | plan the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of |
Tx:13.62 | of knowledge in the Kingdom. All this lies in the Holy Spirit's | plan to free you from the past and open up the way to freedom for |

Tx:13.77 | The One Who knows the | plan of God which God would have you follow can teach you what it |

Tx:15.33 | If you are wholly willing to leave salvation to the | plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, |
Tx:15.33 | salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your | plan for His. Rather, join with me in His that we may release all |
Tx:15.36 | can find salvation in your own way and have it. Give over every | plan that you have made for your salvation in exchange for God's. His |
Tx:15.37 | Be humble before Him and yet great in Him. And value no | plan of the ego before the plan of God. For you leave empty your |
Tx:15.37 | Him and yet great in Him. And value no plan of the ego before the | plan of God. For you leave empty your place in His plan, which you |

Tx:15.37 | would have His host abide in perfect freedom. Every allegiance to a | plan of salvation that is apart from Him diminishes the value of His |
Tx:15.38 | the holy instant in which you willingly and gladly give over every | plan but His. For there lies peace, perfectly clear because you have |

Tx:18.37 | I make it ready for Him, but only that I do not interfere with His | plan to restore to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is |
Tx:18.37 | of my readiness, which is eternal. I need add nothing to His | plan. But to receive it, I must be willing not to substitute my own |
Tx:18.38 | the little that is asked. Remember you made guilt and that your | plan for the escape from guilt has been to bring Atonement to it |
Tx:18.41 | would have no purpose. For they are all but aspects of the | plan to change your dreams of fear to happy dreams from which you |
Tx:18.43 | do not arrange, thousands will rise to Heaven with you. Can you | plan for this? Or could you prepare yourselves for such a function? |
Tx:19.108 | found; not to be seen, but known. And knowing, nothing in the | plan God has established for salvation will be left undone. This is |
Tx:20.33 | The | plan is not of you, nor need you be concerned with anything except |
Tx:20.33 | must enter here to learn its special function in the Holy Spirit's | plan, now that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is |
Tx:20.35 | to you. But ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a | plan for your salvation that does not work. Once you accept His |

Tx:21.54 | God's | plan is simple—never circular and never self-defeating. He has no |
Tx:21.54 | you are unaware of what is so, for this must have an answer if the | plan of God for your salvation is complete. And it must be complete |
Tx:21.67 | He is yours. Reason speaks happily indeed of this. This gracious | plan was given love by Love. And what Love plans is like Itself in |

Tx:22.54 | the sky you see, is chosen of your Father as a means for His own | plan. Be thankful that it serves yours not at all. Nothing entrusted |
Tx:24.25 | holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready to accept His | plan for your salvation in place of yours. How could this readiness |
Tx:24.25 | through the sight of all your misery and the awareness that your | plan has failed and will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of |
Tx:25.46 | in salvation he alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is the | plan complete until he finds his special function and fulfills the |
Tx:25.48 | each must do what is allotted him, for on his part does all the | plan depend. He has a special part in time, for so he chose, and |
Tx:25.49 | to be attack. In light, you see it as your special function in the | plan to save the Son of God from all attack and let him understand |
Tx:25.59 | joy. Accept the function that has been assigned to you in God's Own | plan to show His Sons that hell and Heaven are different, not the |
Tx:25.61 | point from which the Holy Spirit gives meaning and direction to the | plan in which your special function has a part. For here your special |
Tx:26.72 | make for safety all are laid within the future, where you cannot | plan. No purpose has been given it as yet, and what will happen has |
Tx:30.56 | by his will and but restored to what he is. What could God's | plan for his salvation be, except a means to give him to Himself? |
Tx:31.7 | and despair. Nor is there hope of happiness in it. There is no | plan for safety you can make that ever will succeed. There is no joy |
W1:61.10 | You are the light of the world. God has built His | plan for the salvation of His Son on you. |
W1:71.1 | You may not realize that the ego has set up a | plan for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which |
W1:71.1 | has set up a plan for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this | plan in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you |
W1:71.1 | it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to accept God's | plan in place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, |
W1:71.1 | of course. Yet after we have considered just what the ego's | plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it may |
W1:71.2 | The ego's | plan for salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains |
W1:71.4 | The role assigned to your own mind in this | plan, then, is simply to determine what other than itself must change |
W1:71.4 | itself must change if you are to be saved. According to this insane | plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that |
W1:71.5 | Such is the ego's | plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict |
W1:71.6 | God's | plan for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, |
W1:71.7 | all this? Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only God's | plan for salvation will work. There can be no real conflict about |
W1:71.7 | about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's | plan that will save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its |
W1:71.7 | alternative to God's plan that will save you. His is the only | plan that is certain in its outcome. His is the only plan that must |
W1:71.7 | His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome. His is the only | plan that must succeed. |
W1:71.8 | things are possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His | plan, which cannot fail. |
W1:71.9 | two parts, each making equal contribution to the whole. God's | plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do not |
W1:71.9 | to free yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's | plan will succeed. It will lead to release and joy. |
W1:71.10 | of the extended practice periods to asking God to reveal His | plan to us. Ask Him very specifically: |
W1:71.12 | period, and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His | plan for your salvation. He will answer you in proportion to your |
W1:71.13 | In the shorter practice periods tell yourself often that God's | plan for salvation, and only His, will work. Be alert to all |
W1:71.14 | Holding grievances is the opposite of God's | plan for salvation. And only His plan will work. |
W1:71.14 | grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation. And only His | plan will work. |
W1:72.1 | While we have recognized that the ego's | plan for salvation is the opposite of God's, we have not yet |
W1:72.1 | God's, we have not yet emphasized that it is an active attack on His | plan and a deliberate attempt to destroy it. In the attack, God is |
W1:72.3 | perhaps not so apparent why holding grievances is an attack on God's | plan for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of things which you |
W1:72.5 | If God is a body, what must His | plan for salvation be? What could it be but death? In trying to |
W1:72.8 | at the center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking God's | plan for salvation and holding your grievances against Him and His |
W1:72.10 | see our Self as separate from the body is to end the attack on God's | plan for salvation and to accept it instead. And wherever His plan is |
W1:72.10 | God's plan for salvation and to accept it instead. And wherever His | plan is accepted, it is accomplished already. |
W1:72.11 | in the longer practice periods today is to become aware that God's | plan for salvation has already been accomplished in us. To achieve |
W1:72.11 | acceptance. As long as we attack it, we cannot understand what God's | plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not recognize. |
W1:72.11 | Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside and ask what God's | plan for us is: |
W1:72.14 | We have attacked God's | plan for salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have |
W1:72.19 | Holding grievances is an attack on God's | plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is salvation, |
W1:73.8 | that you will salvation for yourself. You will to accept God's | plan because you share in it. You have no will that can really oppose |
W1:73.10 | begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that God's | plan for salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your will. |
W1:78.6 | him be savior unto you today. Such is his role in God your Father's | plan. |
W1:78.12 | the day and take the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation | plan, and not our own. Temptation falls away when we allow each one |
W1:80.1 | that fact, and you are ready to take your rightful place in God's | plan for salvation. |
W1:86.2 | [71] Only God's | plan for salvation will work. It is senseless for me to search |
W1:86.2 | about what it is. I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's | plan for salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can |
W1:86.2 | God's plan for salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His | plan can never fail. |
W1:86.4 | God's | plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this. This is |
W1:86.4 | save me from my perception of this. This is no exception in God's | plan for my salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light of |
W1:86.4 | for my salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light of God's | plan for salvation. |
W1:86.5 | [72] Holding grievances is an attack on God's | plan for salvation. Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that |
W1:86.5 | for salvation. Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God's | plan for salvation will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By |
W1:86.5 | to prove that God's plan for salvation will not work. Yet only His | plan will work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my |
W1:86.5 | my own best interests in this insane way. I would accept God's | plan for salvation and be happy. |
W1:89.5 | to have all my illusions be replaced with truth according to God's | plan for my salvation. I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. |
W1:96.7 | does not exist. Perhaps you hope it can. Yet would you have God's | plan for the release of His dear Son bring pain to him and fail to |
W1:98.9 | I will accept my part in God's | plan for salvation. |
W1:99.4 | mind and thoughts with Mind and thought which are forever one? What | plan could hold the truth inviolate, yet recognize the need illusions |
W1:99.4 | and with no touch of pain? What but a thought of God could be this | plan by which the never done is overlooked and sins forgotten which |
W1:99.5 | The Holy Spirit holds this | plan of God exactly as it was received of Him within the Mind of God |
W1:99.7 | Salvation is your function with the One to Whom the | plan was given. Now are you entrusted with this plan, along with Him. |
W1:99.7 | the One to Whom the plan was given. Now are you entrusted with this | plan, along with Him. He has one answer to appearances regardless of |
W1:99.18 | times you give five minutes to be shared with Him Who shares God's | plan with you. Remind yourself: |
W1:100.1 | Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your Father's | plan. Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and |
W1:100.2 | Will? The part that He has saved for you to take in working out His | plan is given you that you might be restored to what He wills. This |
W1:100.2 | might be restored to what He wills. This part is as essential to His | plan as to your happiness. Your joy must be complete to let His plan |
W1:100.2 | His plan as to your happiness. Your joy must be complete to let His | plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. They will see their |
W1:100.3 | You are indeed essential to God's | plan. Without your joy, His joy is incomplete. Without your smile, |
W1:100.4 | You are indeed essential to God's | plan. Just as your light increases every light that shines in Heaven, |
W1:100.4 | to let their sorrows go and take their place beside you in God's | plan. God's messengers are joyous, and their joy heals sorrow and |
W1:100.5 | For if we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to God's | plan as well as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would |
W1:100.8 | belief that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God's | plan and never lose or sacrifice or die. |
W1:100.10 | to you is God Himself? He will be there. You are essential to His | plan. You are His messenger today. And you must find what He would |
W1:100.11 | you answer every time you tell yourself you are essential to God's | plan for the salvation of the world. |
W1:114.3 | [98] I will accept my part in God's | plan for salvation. What can my function be but to accept the Word |
W1:114.7 | I will accept my part in God's | plan for salvation. |
W1:115.3 | [100] My part is essential to God's | plan for salvation. I am essential to the plan of God for the |
W1:115.3 | is essential to God's plan for salvation. I am essential to the | plan of God for the salvation of the world. For He gave me His plan |
W1:115.3 | the plan of God for the salvation of the world. For He gave me His | plan that I might save the world. |
W1:115.7 | My part is essential to God's | plan for salvation. |
W1:122.5 | Seek for it no more. You will not find another one instead. God's | plan for your salvation cannot change, nor can it fail. Be thankful |
W1:122.6 | Forgive and be forgiven. As you give, you will receive. There is no | plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God. Let us today |
W1:125.2 | world will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's | plan is simply this: the Son of God is free to save himself, given |
W1:135.2 | And it is this you do when you attempt to | plan the future, activate the past, or organize the present as you |
W1:135.12 | A healed mind does not | plan. It carries out the plans which it receives through listening to |
W1:135.12 | its progress to accomplishment of any goal which serves the greater | plan established for the good of everyone. |
W1:135.13 | A healed mind is relieved from the belief that it must | plan, although it cannot know the outcome which is best, the means by |
W1:135.13 | by which it is achieved, nor how to recognize the problem that the | plan is made to solve. It must misuse the body in its plans until it |
W1:135.14 | make the body sick. It is not free to be a means of helping in a | plan which far exceeds its own protection and which needs its service |
W1:135.19 | Whose only purpose is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His | plan, for He would never offer pain to you. But your defenses did not |
W1:135.21 | you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to the ancient | plan begun when time was born. Your followers will join their light |
W1:135.23 | the truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive instead of | plan, that we may give instead of organize. And we are given truly, |
W1:135.27 | now you come without defense to learn the part for you within the | plan of God. What little plans or magical beliefs can still have |
W1:136.4 | as real? All this cannot be done unconsciously. But afterwards your | plan requires that you must forget you made it, so it seems to be |
W1:136.8 | makes you weak and brings you suffering. It is a choice you make, a | plan you lay when for an instant truth arises in your own deluded |
W1:136.13 | nor seek to prove how pitiful and futile are your attempts to | plan defenses which would alter it. Truth merely wants to give you |
W1:153.18 | He will not make this possible for you who chose to carry out His | plan for the salvation of the world and yours? |
W1:154.1 | can we know what role is best for us; what we can do within a larger | plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our part is cast in Heaven, not |
W1:158.4 | illusion in which figures come and go as if by magic. Yet there is a | plan behind appearances which does not change. The script is written. |
W1:166.9 | to you are real. Perhaps He has not wholly been outwitted by your | plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion and go the way you chose |
W1:166.10 | not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned in your | plan to lose your Self. He does not know about a plan so alien to His |
W1:166.10 | imprisoned in your plan to lose your Self. He does not know about a | plan so alien to His Will. There was a need He did not understand, to |
W1:186.1 | on earth as well as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's | plan to save the world, restoring it to Heaven's peace. |
W1:186.5 | is one way and only one to be released from the imprisonment your | plan to prove the false is true has brought to you. Accept the plan |
W1:186.5 | your plan to prove the false is true has brought to you. Accept the | plan you did not make instead. Judge not your value to it. If God's |
W1:186.11 | All of them point to one goal, and one you can attain. Your | plan may be impossible, but God's can never fail because He is its |
W1:198.4 | from death. How could there be another way, when this one is the | plan of God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, |
W1:199.4 | to the all-inclusive goal that it must reach according to God's | plan. |
W2:I.10 | be still and let all things be healed. We will accept the way God's | plan will end, as we received the way it started. Now it is complete. |
W2:294.2 | neither good nor bad. Let me, then, use this dream to help Your | plan that we awaken from all dreams we made. |
W2:WILJ.4 | God's Final Judgment is as merciful as every step in His appointed | plan to bless His Son and call him to return to the eternal peace He |
W2:317.1 | destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father's | plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already |
W2:318.1 | In me, God's holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's | plan to save the world. What could conflict when all the parts have |
W2:324.1 | Father, You are the One Who gave the | plan for my salvation to me. You have set the way I am to go, the |
W2:326.1 | power to create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your | plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You will gather Your |
W2:331.1 | to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he make a | plan for his damnation and be left without a certain way to his |
W2:338.2 | Your | plan is sure, my Father—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And |
W2:342.1 | I thank You, Father, for Your | plan to save me from the hell I made. It is not real. And You have |
M:1.2 | the end can be a long, long way off. It is because of this that the | plan of the teachers was established. Their function is to save time. |
M:2.2 | In order to understand the teaching-learning | plan of salvation, it is necessary to grasp the concept of time which |

Tx:1.60 | “God is not mocked” is not a warning but a reassurance on this | point. God would be mocked if any of His creations lacked holiness. |

Tx:2.34 | which actually result from level confusion. However, the main | point to be understood from this section is that you can defend truth |

Tx:3.11 | There is another | point which must be perfectly clear before any residual fear which |
Tx:3.11 | did not establish the Atonement. The resurrection did. This is a | point which many very sincere Christians have misunderstood. No one |
Tx:3.11 | make this mistake. If the crucifixion is seen from an upside-down | point of view, it does appear as if God permitted and even |
Tx:3.72 | Every system of thought must have a starting | point. It begins with either a making or a creating, a difference |
Tx:3.77 | of your own creation. Your minds are split with your Souls on this | point, and there is no resolution while you believe the one thing |
Tx:3.79 | which cannot be shaken because the light is in it. Your starting | point is truth, and you must return to this beginning. Much has been |
Tx:4.14 | or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth. This | point is not debatable except in delusions. Your ego is never at |
Tx:4.14 | Soul is never at stake because He did. Any confusion on this | point is a delusion and no form of devotion is possible as long as |
Tx:4.35 | birth, because no one maintains that the ego existed before that | point in time. The religiously ego-oriented believe that the Soul |
Tx:4.45 | from the superconscious are unacceptable to it because they clearly | point to the nonexistence of the ego itself. The ego therefore |

Tx:5.86 | advantages. First, it recognizes that man can be fixated at a | point in development which does not accord with a point in time. |
Tx:5.86 | be fixated at a point in development which does not accord with a | point in time. This clearly could have been a means toward real |

Tx:5.95 | it there. Your part is merely to return your thinking to the | point at which the error was made and give it over to the Atonement |
Tx:6.53 | In an impossible situation, you can develop your abilities to the | point where they can get you out of it. You have a Guide to how to |
Tx:6.69 | for a very long time, experiencing very acute conflict. At this | point, many try to accept the conflict rather than take the next |
Tx:6.73 | At this | point, the equality of “having” and “being” is not yet perceived. |
Tx:6.80 | decision, it is clearly not the final one. It is clear at this | point that the lack of order of difficulty in miracles has not yet |
Tx:6.83 | it promotes different moods. The Holy Spirit never varies on this | point, and so the one mood He engenders is joy. He protects it by |

Tx:11.45 | all reinforcement is in yourself. For you are always the first | point of your attack, and if this has never been, it has no |
Tx:12.22 | answer but will give up insanity.] For His answer is the reference | point beyond illusions from which you can look back on them and |
Tx:12.27 | it dictates reactions to those you meet now from a past reference | point, obscuring their present reality. In effect, if you follow the |
Tx:12.46 | consider it “natural” to use your past experience as the reference | point from which to judge the present. Yet this is unnatural |
Tx:12.63 | because you have misjudged yourself. From such a twisted reference | point what could you see? All vision starts with the perceiver |
Tx:12.65 | the instant he perceives the arms of love around him. And from this | point of safety, he looks quietly about him and recognizes that the |
Tx:14.26 | is not possible to convince the unknowing that they know. From their | point of view, it is not true. Yet it is true because God knows |
Tx:14.26 | are. To God, unknowing is impossible. It is therefore not a | point of view at all but merely a belief in something that does not |
Tx:14.26 | themselves as they were not created. Their creation was not a | point of view, but rather a certainty. Uncertainty brought to |
Tx:16.75 | the Holy Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses opposites to | point to truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed |
Tx:17.45 | to make no sense. Many relationships have been broken off at this | point, and the pursuit of the old goal reestablished in another |
Tx:17.47 | for its goal. As these two contemplate their relationship from the | point of view of this new purpose, they are inevitably appalled. |
Tx:17.57 | their universal application. Therefore it is essential at this | point to use them in each situation separately, until you can more |
Tx:17.60 | be used to meet the goal. The false becomes the useless from this | point of view. The situation now has meaning, but only because the |
Tx:20.42 | You look upon each holy instant as a different | point in time. It never changes. All that it ever held or will ever |
Tx:21.36 | of the world, desiring to place its power elsewhere should another | point of view be given them. The miracles which follow this decision |

W1:29.2 | You will probably find this idea very difficult to grasp at this | point. You may find it silly, irreverent, senseless, funny, and even |

W1:73.6 | You know it is not so. You cannot want this for yourself. There is a | point beyond which illusions cannot go. |
W1:93.3 | Today we question this, not from the | point of view of what you think, but from a very different reference |

W2:266.2 | we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the world with those who | point to Him and given us the sight to look on them? |

M:4.5 | where he must see things in a different light? He is not yet at a | point at which he can make the shift entirely internally. And so the |
M:4.7 | teachers of God escape this distress entirely. There is, however, no | point in sorting out the valuable from the valueless unless the next |
M:4.8 | is literally staggering, and the teacher of God is now at the | point in his progress at which he sees in it his whole way out. “Give |

C:P.8 | was a course in thought reversal and mind training, a course to | point out the insanity of the identity crisis and dislodge the ego's |
C:P.22 | the spectrum, with a concentration on self that seems to have no end | point and no limit to the interest it generates. While forgiveness |
C:P.22 | of gifts and what leads to joy cannot be done without, they are the | point only to the extent of making one ready for a new choice. |
C:7.17 | ideas you have, especially those that might make of this a trivial | point or one that is specific and not generalizable. All relationship |
C:9.41 | was but the required offering to the idol you have made. And at some | point, when you can run the race no more, you bow down to those who |
C:10.3 | take what you will and leave the rest. Thus we will continue to | point out the differences in the two thought systems so that your |
C:10.5 | body to prove to you that it is insurmountable. Many people at this | point try to think these maladies away, and when they do not succeed |
C:10.6 | evidence of its failure to be other than separate and be quick to | point out to you the impossibility of being other than what you are— |
C:10.16 | is possible, but there may be reasons not to choose this. At this | point, however, all that is asked is that your body is seen as what |
C:11.14 | the effects you would have come about. This matters not at this | point. You are offered the opportunity to make a temporary decision |
C:12.10 | it is but a separation from your Self. This is the most difficult | point to get across, because in it lies a contradiction, the one |
C:12.15 | at all, but all-one-mind. What this Course is saying is that at some | point that does not exist in time, God's son made the choice for |
C:12.24 | name for love, but such it is. God is but creation's starting | point, the creator of creation and yet Creation itself. The Son and |
C:12.24 | Son and Holy Spirit, like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting | point of God. God is the Son and Holy Spirit's starting point as |
C:12.24 | the starting point of God. God is the Son and Holy Spirit's starting | point as well, the Creator of the Son and Holy Spirit, yet He also is |
C:14.2 | creation as you have fragmented your own self. And from the vantage | point you have established in which you view yourself as the epitome |

C:15.4 | be made to feel special—and you along with them—then what is the | point of being here at all? For this is indeed the point you have |
C:15.4 | then what is the point of being here at all? For this is indeed the | point you have made of your life. |

C:21.6 | The embrace can now be likened to the starting | point of a shared language, a language shared by mind and heart and |
C:22.7 | The image of intersection is simply meant to represent the | point where the world intersects with you—where your path crosses |

C:22.14 | While passing through would seem to imply an entry and exit | point, the relationship developed during the pass-through continues. |
C:22.14 | continues. Just as wind or water passing through an entry and exit | point has an impact and a motion, so does what passes through you |
C:23.25 | There is no trick to identifying unlearning opportunities. From this | point forward, I assure you, all experiences will be thus until |
C:25.16 | personal self gets out of the way in any instance, it is the turning | point. It is the signal that you are ready to live from love. This is |
C:28.9 | attempt to turn bearing witness into a convincing argument for your | point of view, no matter what that point of view may be, makes what |
C:28.9 | a convincing argument for your point of view, no matter what that | point of view may be, makes what you have come to know pointless to |
C:28.12 | your belief, the need to give form to what is beyond form misses the | point of what you have gained. You may be asking now, “Are you saying |
C:31.9 | even one life. Each life is irreplaceable and no one argues this | point, yet you allow yourself to resist the whole idea of God because |
T1:4.27 | and not due miracles or any other thing or being. I bring up this | point to assure you that this confusion is nothing new, but a |

T2:6.6 | Accomplishment is not an end | point but a given. It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says I am |
T3:2.12 | This is such an important | point for you to grasp that I return you to our comparison of the |
T3:5.7 | of enormous proportions; the greatest sacrifice of all. The | point of the story, however, was not one of sacrifice but one of gift |
T3:12.5 | Realize that prior to this | point, our goal was returning to your awareness the truth of your |
T3:14.10 | If there are things that you, at this | point, still hold to yourself and call unforgivable, now is the time |
T3:14.13 | make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The past is but a starting | point for the future. Just as we talked of the consequences of blame |
T3:17.8 | time of illusion is now called to an end. What is finite has an end | point and this is that end point for the time of illusion. The return |
T3:17.8 | to an end. What is finite has an end point and this is that end | point for the time of illusion. The return of Christ, or your ability |
T3:21.23 | the truth. As has been said many times, willingness is the starting | point and as can be surely understood, where one is willing another |
T4:2.8 | I belabor this | point because you literally cannot proceed to full awareness while |
T4:2.9 | I also belabor this | point because those of you familiar with the Bible, upon hearing |

T4:8.1 | was not some separate “you” or some species without form who at some | point in time chose to express love in physical form, and so began |
T4:8.5 | Creation in form had a starting | point. This is the nature of everything that lives in form. It has a |
T4:8.5 | is the nature of everything that lives in form. It has a starting | point from which it grows into its time of fullness. Creation on the |
T4:9.5 | time coming. You have realized that your learning has reached an end | point. The excitement of new learning is not lasting because it is |
T4:9.5 | seems to be nothing new to be said, nothing to move you beyond this | point that you have reached in your understanding of the truth. All |
T4:10.14 | for you have become who you are and move on from this starting | point to creating who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can |
T4:12.2 | all new means of doing anything, this dialogue must have a starting | point. This is it. |
T4:12.17 | This is just a beginning | point of your ability to see what learned wisdom has wrought. This is |
T4:12.17 | to see what learned wisdom has wrought. This is a necessary end | point of your review of your experience here so that you do not |

D:5.9 | the return to what is and we but proceed from this starting | point. |
D:5.19 | rather than as you have perceived it to be. From this starting | point only can we move forward to the future we create together. |
D:6.1 | you were participating in. Eventually your learning reached an end | point as the learning goal of this Course was met, and this you were |
D:6.2 | to the unreal, the false to the true, fear to love—in order to | point out the insanity of your perception and the perfect sanity of |
D:11.16 | an important man among many important men. Those who do so miss the | point of the life of Jesus just as they miss the point of their own |
D:11.16 | who do so miss the point of the life of Jesus just as they miss the | point of their own lives. Those who do so seek to make individual |
D:12.11 | it is the pattern, not the ego, that is still with you. The second | point is that although thinking does not serve you, you do have, |
D:15.22 | of climbers who accompanied you on your ascent. And at this highest | point of the highest peak of the highest mountain, you pause and |
D:16.12 | a cause for disappointment. Perhaps you thought you were beyond this | point of becoming. And yet, as you have begun your practice of |
D:Day1.14 | accepted, and lived the teachings that have brought you to this | point which I now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a |
D:Day2.13 | I could give thousands of examples here, but the | point is that we are not looking for degrees of wrong-actions, or |
D:Day3.5 | So our first | point of discussion in the realm of anger is that no matter where |
D:Day3.30 | health while at the same time dreading the disease that may at any | point take it from you, those of you who have money see it in the |
D:Day3.40 | an association in regards to entry, you would likely say the entry | point was the mind. This is, in a sense, true, as wholeheartedness is |
D:Day3.40 | do not advance our discussion now and can be returned to later. The | point here is your “concept” or idea about what you have gained from |
D:Day3.43 | Do you not see? You are the entry | point, the only channel through which all that is available in unity |
D:Day4.58 | Here is the beginning | point from which we continue to burn away the remnants of attachment |
D:Day5.1 | A | point of access will no longer be needed once full entry is attained, |
D:Day5.1 | Even though it will not be permanently needed, however, this | point of access will remain crucial as long as you maintain rather |
D:Day5.1 | as long as you maintain rather than sustain the state of unity. This | point of access will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry |
D:Day5.1 | point of access will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry | point and as a continued entry point so that it is available to you |
D:Day5.1 | discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a continued entry | point so that it is available to you until it is no longer needed. |
D:Day5.2 | For each of you this access | point will in truth be the same, but perhaps quite different in the |
D:Day5.2 | you use in order to enter it. For those of you who have felt the | point of entry to be the mind in experiences already registered, |
D:Day5.3 | not your body, the idea of what originates “within” coming from a | point beyond the body is not now too unbelievable to contemplate. |
D:Day5.4 | Thus we begin with what feels natural to you. We give access a focal | point in the realm of form. |
D:Day5.5 | This focal | point must be of your own choosing. Your point of access may be your |
D:Day5.5 | This focal point must be of your own choosing. Your | point of access may be your head, or a place just above or to the |
D:Day5.5 | them givens and choose what feels most natural to you as a focal | point for your focus on access. |
D:Day5.9 | your body, it will be helpful to have identified this chosen access | point for unity even while remembering it is not of the body alone. |
D:Day5.13 | While you do not consider yourself as having or needing an “access” | point to love, and while you may treat love still as an individual |
D:Day5.16 | A “healer” for instance, might, thus, feel her access | point as being the hands and express what is gained through unity by |
D:Day5.21 | more specifically to our focus on access. Wherever your chosen | point of access lies, imagine now the needle that was discussed as |
D:Day5.21 | the onion in the Course chapter “The Intersection,” and imagine the | point of intersection connecting with your chosen access point. |
D:Day5.21 | imagine the point of intersection connecting with your chosen access | point. Imagine this now, not as a needle but as the wisdom you seek. |
D:Day5.21 | thinking and feeling that we used the onion to illustrate, but as a | point of entry and pass-through. What comes of unity enters you and |
D:Day5.25 | awareness of breath that comes from the focus of meditation. A focus | point is a point of convergence. A focal point is a point of |
D:Day5.25 | breath that comes from the focus of meditation. A focus point is a | point of convergence. A focal point is a point of intersection that |
D:Day5.25 | of meditation. A focus point is a point of convergence. A focal | point is a point of intersection that gives rise to a clear image. |
D:Day5.25 | A focus point is a point of convergence. A focal point is a | point of intersection that gives rise to a clear image. |
D:Day5.26 | here is that of pass-through. Although we have spoken of this focal | point as an entryway, this does not imply that something that is not |
D:Day6.1 | We are in an in-between state of time. We stand at the intersection | point of the finite and the infinite in order to complete the |
D:Day6.4 | and expression coming together. We have further spoken of your | point of access to unity as one of convergence, intersection, and |
D:Day6.7 | that inspires the creator to see these words as lyrics. At some | point after this gestation within the mind and heart, the artist puts |
D:Day6.7 | step of the process, or only late in its development. But at some | point, the sharing will take place, and the reactions of those with |
D:Day6.7 | or to be more determined than ever to see the piece through to the | point where it will be appreciated. Finishing touches will be put on |
D:Day6.8 | piece of art that comes to completion includes a choice. At some | point along the way a commitment is made between the artist and the |
D:Day6.14 | experience nothing but our relationship, focus on nothing but your | point of access, have a chance to really begin to invite abundance |
D:Day6.18 | life. Changes you feel called to make are not discouraged here. The | point being made is simply that removal from life is not possible or |
D:Day6.22 | The | point here, however, is this: Quit trying to remove yourself from |
D:Day6.30 | or think you learn, the qualities that will allow this. This is the | point of movement, being, and expression coming together. The point |
D:Day6.30 | is the point of movement, being, and expression coming together. The | point of convergence, intersection, and pass-through. This is it! |
D:Day8.3 | But here is the | point that needs clearing up. This is not about acceptance of what |
D:Day10.9 | of insight—intuition that causes you to make connections between | point A and point B, be point A and point B distinct points in a |
D:Day10.9 | —intuition that causes you to make connections between point A and | point B, be point A and point B distinct points in a scientific |
D:Day10.9 | that causes you to make connections between point A and point B, be | point A and point B distinct points in a scientific puzzle or murky |
D:Day10.9 | you to make connections between point A and point B, be point A and | point B distinct points in a scientific puzzle or murky points about |
D:Day10.19 | Thus I will speak to you from this | point onward as the voice of Christ-consciousness, the voice of your |
D:Day10.19 | consciousness of the man I once was because you were, prior to this | point, unready to give up image for presence, the individual for the |
D:Day10.19 | yourself, Jesus for Christ-consciousness. You needed the reference | point of a “person,” of a being who had lived and breathed and met |
D:Day10.22 | is what both of these statements mean. This is the culmination | point of these two great objectives coming together in you and your |
D:Day10.23 | I will still be with you to | point the way, but if you can cease to think of this as the wisdom of |
D:Day14.13 | the power that is yours. This one voice of the many will continue to | point the way for only a short time longer. Thus the voice of the |
D:Day15.11 | necessary to this next step. One reason is that it allows a starting | point for your practice. While it is possible to practice observance |

Tx:6.55 | God created is faithful to His laws. Fidelity to other laws is also | possible, however, not because the laws are true, but because you |
Tx:7.4 | understand that to be like another means that no deals are | possible. To gain you must give, not bargain. To bargain is to limit |
Tx:7.28 | come from it. It is the belief that conflicting interests are | possible, and therefore you have accepted the impossible as true. |
Tx:7.32 | and perceived as a means for establishing it. To believe this is | possible is to believe you can do it. This can only be the voice |

Tx:7.102 | of God's Will can be better for you. You also believe that it is | possible to do the opposite of God's Will. Therefore, you believe |
Tx:8.7 | must be fully recognized before a real change in direction becomes | possible. You cannot learn simultaneously from two teachers who are |

Tx:8.90 | occurred unless the mind were already profoundly split, making it | possible for the mind to be afraid of what it really is. It is |
Tx:8.92 | to force an alien will upon you. He is merely making every | possible effort, within the limits you impose on Him, to |
Tx:8.102 | not require belief, but it does require acceptance. It is indeed | possible for you to deny facts, although it is impossible for you |
Tx:8.104 | and fear cannot be created. As long as you believe that fear is | possible, you will not create. Opposing orders of reality make |
Tx:8.105 | Remember, then, that God's Will is already | possible and nothing else will ever be. This is the simple |
Tx:8.109 | the Holy Spirit will ever be one which would increase fear. It is | possible that His answer will not be heard at all. It is |
Tx:8.117 | receive and have priced it by what you give. To believe that it is | possible to get much for little is to believe that you can bargain |
Tx:8.117 | to accept, not to get. It is impossible not to have, but it is | possible not to know you have. The recognition of having is the |

Tx:9.6 | you to correct another? Yet you can see him truly because it is | possible for you to see yourself truly. It is not up to you to |
Tx:9.7 | to correct a brother means that you believe correction by you is | possible, and this can only be the arrogance of the ego. Correction |
Tx:9.38 | means to find it? If He wills you to have it, He must have made it | possible and very easy to obtain it. Your brothers are everywhere. |
Tx:9.38 | of joy is needless. God wills you perfect happiness now. Is it | possible that this is not also your will? And is it possible that |
Tx:9.38 | now. Is it possible that this is not also your will? And is it | possible that this is not also the will of your brothers? |
Tx:9.53 | it is true. Littleness and grandeur cannot co-exist, nor is it | possible for them to alternate in your awareness. Littleness and |
Tx:9.65 | of what you awakened to were violated while you slept. Is it not | possible that you merely shifted from one dream to another, without |
Tx:9.66 | in this remembering that you will know it can be so again. What is | possible has not yet been accomplished. Yet what has once been is so |
Tx:10.8 | Waiting is | possible only in time, but time has no meaning. You who made delay |

Tx:10.50 | by learning what fear is, can you finally learn to distinguish the | possible from the impossible and the false from the true. According |
Tx:10.68 | not exist has no size and no measure. To God all things are | possible. And to Christ it is given to be like the Father. |

Tx:14.48 | This is not difficult to understand, once you conceive of them as | possible at all. What is more difficult to grasp is the lack of |
Tx:14.50 | ego is chaos, and if it were all of you, no order at all would be | possible. Yet though the order which you impose upon your minds |
Tx:15.41 | that makes the holy instant what it is. You believe that it is | possible to harbor thoughts you would not share and that salvation |

Tx:15.86 | Our task is but to continue as fast as | possible the necessary process of looking straight at all the |
Tx:15.95 | It is | possible to do this all at once because there is but one shift in |
Tx:15.95 | they go together. The idea is simply this—you believe that it is | possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God. This is the choice |
Tx:16.33 | Love is not an illusion. It is a fact. Where disillusionment is | possible, there was not love but hate. For hate is an illusion, and |
Tx:16.34 | love be an illusion to you. And then the only choice which remains | possible is which illusion you prefer. There is no conflict in the |
Tx:16.42 | you. Only in time does interference in God's completion seem to be | possible. The bridge that He would carry you across lifts you from |
Tx:16.54 | content and love has lost its meaning. Would you want this to be | possible, even apart from its evident impossibility? For if it were |
Tx:16.54 | even apart from its evident impossibility? For if it were | possible, you would have made yourself helpless. God is not angry. |
Tx:16.58 | as only what it is. For only fantasies made confusion in choosing | possible, and they are totally unreal. This year is thus the time to |
Tx:16.65 | you realize it is delay and that escape from pain is really | possible. Find hope and comfort rather than despair in this: You |
Tx:16.80 | and to resolve all problems, be they perceived as great or small, | possible or impossible. There is nothing that will not give place to |
Tx:17.10 | nor shadings, no differences, no variations which made perception | possible will occur. The perception of the real world will be so |
Tx:17.28 | In this world it is impossible to create, yet it is | possible to make happy. We have said repeatedly that the Holy Spirit |
Tx:17.65 | the solution to the problem is inherent in its meaning. Is it not | possible that all your problems have been solved, but you have |
Tx:18.28 | Each instant that we spend together will teach you that this goal is | possible and will strengthen your desire to reach it. And in your |
Tx:18.35 | for what they are. Your willingness is needed only to make it | possible to teach you what they are. If you maintain you are |
Tx:18.40 | for you, it is because you have become the arbiter of what is | possible and remain unwilling to give place to One Who knows. The |
Tx:18.40 | in miracles is centered on this. Everything God wills is not only | possible but has already happened. And that is why the past has |
Tx:18.43 | Or could you prepare yourselves for such a function? Yet it is | possible because God wills it. Nor will He change His Mind about it. |
Tx:18.46 | to deal with it alone. Never believe that this is necessary or even | possible. Yet just as this is impossible, so is it equally impossible |
Tx:18.48 | myself that I may share it with my brother, whom I love. It is not | possible that I can have it without him, or he without me. Yet it is |
Tx:18.48 | that I can have it without him, or he without me. Yet it is wholly | possible for us to share it now. And so I choose this instant as the |
Tx:18.51 | to the mind the properties of the body does separation seem to be | possible. And it is mind that seems to be fragmented and private |
Tx:18.57 | differently and to have separated Himself from His Son to make this | possible. He would have had to create different things and to |
Tx:18.61 | of the body and of the questioning whether or not all this is | possible. |
Tx:18.62 | It is | possible because you want it. The sudden expansion of the self |
Tx:19.6 | this divided goal has given both an equal reality, which could be | possible only if the mind is limited to the body and divided into |
Tx:19.17 | with “sin,” and it is this distinction which makes salvation | possible. For error can be corrected, and the wrong made right. But |
Tx:19.17 | error can be corrected, and the wrong made right. But sin, were it | possible, would be irreversible. The belief in sin is necessarily |
Tx:19.22 | to have faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness. Yet it is | possible to have faith that a mistake can be corrected. |
Tx:19.26 | The ego does not think it | possible that love, not fear, is really called upon by sin and always |
Tx:19.67 | obstacles you raise to freedom and bar my way to you. Yet it is not | possible to keep away One Who is there already. And in Him it is |
Tx:19.67 | possible to keep away One Who is there already. And in Him it is | possible that our communion, where we are joined already, will be the |
Tx:19.74 | messages of hate and free yourself. And to convince you this is | possible, it bids the body search for pain in attack upon another, |
Tx:19.99 | Nor is it | possible to look on this too soon. This is the place to which |
Tx:20.30 | What God has given follows His laws and His alone. Nor is it | possible for those who follow them to suffer the results of any other |
Tx:20.35 | Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is | possible that God would have a plan for your salvation that does |
Tx:20.52 | mad idea of making your relationship with God unholy seemed to be | possible, all your relationships were made meaningless. In that |
Tx:20.60 | your wanting of the purpose has been shaken. For if a goal is | possible to reach, the means to do so must be possible as well. |
Tx:20.60 | For if a goal is possible to reach, the means to do so must be | possible as well. |
Tx:20.66 | for it was given him to see, as was the vision which made his seeing | possible. |
Tx:20.75 | Only two purposes are | possible. And one is sin, the other holiness. Nothing is in between, |
Tx:21.10 | Within it everything is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it | possible to imagine that anything could be outside, for there is |
Tx:21.17 | to find himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is | possible within the universe as God created it, outside of which is |
Tx:21.20 | separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is | possible that things should happen to the Son of God without his |
Tx:21.23 | recognition comes of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it | possible to look within and see what must be there plainly in sight |
Tx:21.24 | of wanting, and therefore of faith, to make its goals seem real and | possible. Faith in the unreal leads to adjustments of reality to make |
Tx:21.39 | one is but the sign the other has disappeared from sight. Nor is it | possible that what gives light be one with what depends on darkness |
Tx:21.49 | Yet it can show you the conditions in which awareness of reality is | possible or those where it could never be. |
Tx:21.89 | answer the final question. Your answer to the others has made it | possible to help you be but partially insane. And yet it is the final |
Tx:22.13 | Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it | possible that anything not part of Him can join. Communication must |
Tx:22.17 | is senseless, for how could joy be found in misery? All that is | possible in the dark world of misery is to select some aspects out of |
Tx:22.20 | can be impossible, the means for its attainment are more than | possible. They must be there, and you must have them. |
Tx:22.21 | no hope of ever being done. You know what your Creator wills is | possible, but what you made believes it is not so. Now must you |
Tx:22.24 | fundamental illusion we have seen many times before. Only if it were | possible the Son of God could leave his Father's Mind, make himself |
Tx:22.24 | Mind, make himself different, and oppose His Will, would it be | possible that the self he made and all it made should be his master. |
Tx:22.25 | only if you would believe His Son could be His enemy does it seem | possible that what you made is yours. You would condemn His joy to |
Tx:22.26 | look upon your savior as your enemy and recognize him. Yet it is | possible to recognize him for what he is if God would have it so. |
Tx:22.29 | of its undoing. For reason and the ego are contradictory. Nor is it | possible for them to co-exist in your awareness. And reason's goal is |
Tx:22.51 | for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will believe it | possible of mind or body, and he will make the other serve his choice |
Tx:22.62 | and all were separate from your Creator. For only then would it be | possible to attack a part of the creation without the whole, the Son |
Tx:23.8 | this a victory that you would want? The death of God, if it were | possible, would be your death. Is this a victory? The ego |
Tx:23.8 | marches to defeat because it thinks that triumph over you is | possible. And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad |
Tx:23.8 | This is the conflict's purpose. And to those who think that it is | possible, the means seem real. |
Tx:23.34 | like these can be believed? There is a strange device that makes it | possible. Nor is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears to |
Tx:23.38 | govern all illusions. Their forms conflict, making it seem quite | possible to value some above the others. Yet each one rests as surely |
Tx:23.40 | the twisted stairway that leads from Heaven. Yet any instant it is | possible to have all this undone. How can you know whether you chose |
Tx:23.44 | Yet it seems difficult to those who still believe that compromise is | possible. They do not see that, if it is, salvation is attack. Yet |
Tx:23.44 | it has come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a little. Nor is it | possible to attack for this and love for that and understand |
Tx:24.8 | Would it be | possible for you to hate your brother if you were like him? Could you |
Tx:24.24 | The hope of specialness makes it seem | possible God made the body as the prison-house which keeps His Son |
Tx:24.29 | will never be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it | possible the two can ever be the same while specialness stands like a |
Tx:24.38 | be “no.” A sinless brother is its enemy, while sin, if it were | possible, would be its friend. Your brother's sins would justify |
Tx:24.40 | of joy as you conceive it. What you wish is true for you. Nor is it | possible that you can wish for something and lack faith that it is |
Tx:24.61 | judgment makes no sense at all, for only what His Father wills is | possible, and there is no alternative for Him to see. Out of His lack |
Tx:25.30 | sin's perception must have been wrong. And thus is change made | possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the |
Tx:25.44 | of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of light that makes sight | possible. |
Tx:25.50 | Himself. The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin | possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it possible what God created |
Tx:25.50 | everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it | possible what God created not should share the attributes of His |
Tx:25.51 | Heaven. How could it be that hell and Heaven are the same? And is it | possible that what He did not will cannot be changed? What is |
Tx:25.58 | at all. To each his special function is designed to be perceived as | possible and more and more desired as it proves to him that it is |
Tx:25.59 | made a hell of Heaven and a heaven of hell, had such insanity been | possible. |
Tx:25.62 | if he could, the loss would be his Father's, and in Him no loss is | possible. And this is sane because it is the truth. |
Tx:25.78 | Not one sin would you retain. And not one doubt that this is | possible will you hold dear that sin be kept in place. You mean that |
Tx:26.11 | For there is but one mistake—the whole idea that loss is | possible and could result in gain for anyone. If this were true, then |
Tx:26.11 | anyone. If this were true, then God would be unfair, sin would be | possible, attack be justified, and vengeance fair. |
Tx:26.21 | comparison that he will ever make, the last evaluation that will be | possible, the final judgment upon this world. It is the judgment of |
Tx:26.24 | so clearly unalike.] There is no conflict here. No sacrifice is | possible in the relinquishment of an illusion recognized as such. |
Tx:26.30 | is a help or hindrance to the gate of Heaven. Nothing in between is | possible. There are two teachers only, who point in different ways. |
Tx:26.47 | them in a way that summarizes all that must occur for healing to be | possible. For when it once is possible, it must occur. All sickness |
Tx:26.47 | all that must occur for healing to be possible. For when it once is | possible, it must occur. All sickness comes from separation. When |
Tx:26.51 | illusion be less amenable to truth than are the rest. But it is | possible that some are given greater value and less willingly offered |
Tx:26.56 | all things within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is | possible the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the |
Tx:26.60 | illusions to be true, without success. For never will success be | possible in trying to deceive the Son of God. |
Tx:26.61 | The miracle is | possible when cause and consequence are brought together, not kept |
Tx:26.61 | effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is | possible, then is God's Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor |
Tx:27.33 | temporarily. It lets the Holy Spirit make exchange of pictures | possible until the time when aids are meaningless and learning done. |
Tx:27.36 | answer and no resolution, for its purpose is to make no resolution | possible and to ensure no answer will be plain. A problem set in |
Tx:27.41 | the question does the meaningfulness of the answer come. Here is it | possible to separate your wishes from the answer, so it can be given |
Tx:27.45 | wish only to be healed, you heal. Your single purpose makes this | possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then it cannot come |
Tx:27.51 | has been escaped. It cannot be their differences which made this | possible, for learning does not jump from situations to their |
Tx:27.82 | laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become a serious idea and | possible of both accomplishment and real effects. Together, we can |
Tx:28.6 | present, which is but a consequence in which no change can be made | possible because its cause has gone. Yet change must have a cause |
Tx:28.20 | every dream that anyone has dreamed within the world. No plans are | possible and no design exists that could be found and understood. |
Tx:29.3 | perhaps, provided that your separate interests made your friendship | possible a little while. But not without a gap between you, lest he |
Tx:29.4 | get in touch and signify a meeting-place to join. But always is it | possible to go your separate ways. Conditional upon the “right” to |
Tx:29.16 | body does not change. It represents the larger dream that change is | possible. To change is to attain a state unlike the one in which you |
Tx:30.41 | you want indeed and have the right to ask for. Nor could it be | possible it be denied. Your will to be complete is but God's Will, |
Tx:30.74 | could replace it and destroy the Will of God. Only if this were | possible could there be some appearances which could withstand the |
Tx:31.48 | what you are has now become his sin. For this is no forgiveness | possible. No longer does it matter what he does, for your accusing |
W1:I.1 | meaningful. Yet it is the exercises which will make the goal | possible. An untrained mind can accomplish nothing. It is the purpose |
W1:I.3 | times a day, preferably in a different place each time and, if | possible, in every situation in which you spend any long period of |
W1:I.4 | themselves consisting of applying that idea to as many specifics as | possible. Be sure that you do not decide that there are some things |
W1:2.1 | Turn your head so that you include whatever is to either side. If | possible, turn around and apply the idea to what was behind you. |
W1:2.1 | apply the idea to what was behind you. Remain as indiscriminate as | possible in selecting subjects for its application, do not |
W1:8.4 | a thought, you are not seeing anything. With as little investment as | possible, search your mind for the usual minute or so, merely noting |
W1:11.3 | The introduction to this idea should be practiced as casually as | possible. It contains the foundation for the peace, relaxation, and |
W1:15.7 | practice that is recommended, try to make the selection as random as | possible. Less than a minute will do for the practice periods, if you |

W1:19.2 | must be true if salvation is possible at all. And salvation must be | possible because it is the Will of God. |
W1:19.5 | The requirement of as much indiscriminateness as | possible in selecting subjects for the practice period should be |
W1:21.6 | Try to be as specific as | possible. You may, for example, focus your anger on a particular |
W1:22.1 | preoccupy him and people his entire world. What peace of mind is | possible to him then? |
W1:24.5 | that occurs to you, and enumerate carefully as many goals as | possible that you would like to be met in its resolution. The form of |

W1:26.9 | Then go over every | possible outcome which has occurred to you in that connection and |
W1:27.6 | It should be used at least every half hour, and more often if | possible. You might try for every 15 or 20 minutes. It is recommended |
W1:28.10 | Each application should be made quite slowly and as thoughtfully as | possible. There is no hurry. |
W1:29.5 | list of subjects should therefore be as free of self-selection as | possible. For example, a suitable list might include: |
W1:30.3 | Today's idea should be applied as often as | possible throughout the day. Whenever you have a moment or so, repeat |
W1:31.3 | hierarchy among them. Watch them come and go as dispassionately as | possible. Do not dwell on any one in particular, but try to let the |
W1:31.4 | In addition, repeat the idea for today as often as | possible during the day. Remind yourself that you are making a |
W1:32.3 | look around your inner world. Try to treat them both as equally as | possible. Repeat the idea for today unhurriedly as often as you wish |
W1:32.5 | These exercises are also to be continued during the day as often as | possible. The shorter applications consist of repeating the idea |
W1:33.3 | The shorter exercise periods should be as frequent as | possible. Specific applications of today's idea should also be made |
W1:35.11 | As often as | possible during the day, pick up a specific attribute or attributes |
W1:36.6 | of course, be made quite slowly, as effortlessly and unhurriedly as | possible. |
W1:38.4 | of any kind as you see it. Try to make as little distinction as | possible between a situation that is difficult for you and one that |
W1:39.14 | which should be made some three or four times an hour and more if | possible, you may ask yourself this question, repeat today's idea, or |
W1:40.1 | you are urged to attempt this schedule and to adhere to it whenever | possible. If you forget, try again. If there are long interruptions, |
W1:41.5 | long practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if | possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes with your eyes |
W1:41.7 | It is quite | possible to reach God. In fact it is very easy because it is the most |
W1:41.7 | thing in the world. The way will open if you believe that it is | possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the |
W1:41.7 | go along. But it will never fail completely, and instant success is | possible. |
W1:42.3 | three- to five-minute longer exercise periods today, one as soon as | possible after you wake and another as close as possible to the time |

W1:44.2 | that makes seeing possible. It is with you always, making vision | possible in every circumstance. |
W1:44.9 | eyes briefly. Try, however, to return to the exercises as soon as | possible. |
W1:45.5 | we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is | possible. We will also try to understand that only what God would |
W1:46.3 | five-minute practice periods and as many shorter applications as | possible. Begin the longer practice periods by repeating today's idea |
W1:46.11 | because I am a Son of God. I have already been forgiven. No fear is | possible in a mind beloved of God. There is no need to attack, |
W1:48.2 | very simple, and very frequent. Merely repeat the idea as often as | possible. You can use it with your eyes open at any time and in any |
W1:48.2 | strongly recommended, however, that you take a minute or so whenever | possible to close your eyes and repeat the idea slowly to yourself |
W1:49.1 | It is quite | possible to listen to God's Voice all through the day without |
W1:49.3 | need at least four five-minute practice periods today and more if | possible. We will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God |
W1:49.5 | Do so with your eyes open when necessary, but closed when | possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the idea for |
W1:R1.2 | about the idea and the related comments. Do this as often as | possible during the day. If any one of the five ideas appeals to you |
W1:R1.4 | with your eyes closed and when you are alone in a quiet place if | possible. This is emphasized particularly for reviews at your stage |
W1:57.3 | this, and I am free. I have deluded myself into believing it is | possible to imprison the Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this |
W1:61.4 | You will want to think about this idea as often as | possible today. It is the perfect answer to all illusions and |
W1:61.5 | As many practice periods as | possible should be undertaken today, although each one need not |
W1:62.4 | this day by practicing today's idea and to use it as frequently as | possible throughout the day. It will help to make the day as happy |
W1:62.5 | As often as you can, closing your eyes if | possible, say to yourself: |
W1:65.3 | Try, if | possible, to undertake the daily extended practice periods at |
W1:65.3 | this time today in advance and then adhere to it as closely as | possible. |
W1:65.6 | each one as it comes to you with as little involvement or concern as | possible, dismissing each one by telling yourself: |
W1:66.9 | no other guides but these to choose between and no other outcomes | possible as a result of your choice but the fear which the ego always |
W1:67.7 | you can. You need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as | possible because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images. |
W1:69.9 | the shorter practice periods, which you will want to do as often as | possible in view of the importance of today's idea to you and your |

W1:71.8 | seems to be a conflict with no resolution possible. All things are | possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which |
W1:74.1 | have recognized that your will is His. The belief that conflict is | possible has gone. Peace has replaced the strange idea that you are |
W1:74.15 | are seeking. A minute or two every half-hour, with eyes closed if | possible, would be well spent on this today. |
W1:76.14 | We will repeat this dedication as often as | possible today—at least four or five times an hour, as well as in |

W1:107.6 | healing, for the truth needs no defense, and therefore no attack is | possible. Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the |
W1:108.2 | True light which makes true vision | possible is not the light the body's eyes behold. It is a state of |
W1:125.1 | deep within your mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is | possible until His Word is heard around the world; until your mind, |
W1:127.1 | Perhaps you think that different kinds of love are | possible. Perhaps you think there is a kind of love for this, a kind |
W1:130.6 | Today we will attempt no compromise where none is | possible. The world you see is proof you have already made a choice |
W1:139.6 | Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is | possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you really are. This |
W1:140.4 | that is not a cure. It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness | possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with |
W1:153.1 | deceptions. It attacks and then attacks again. No peace of mind is | possible where danger threatens thus. |
W1:153.4 | grim that hope of sanity seems but to be an idle dream, beyond the | possible. The sense of threat the world encourages is so much deeper |
W1:153.15 | each day by giving our attention to the daily thought as long as | possible. Five minutes now becomes the least we give to preparation |
W1:153.18 | in offering salvation to the world. Think you He will not make this | possible for you who chose to carry out His plan for the salvation of |
W1:163.6 | all things die or else they live and cannot die. No compromise is | possible. For here again we see an obvious position which we must |
W1:167.12 | It becomes the thing reflected and the light which makes reflection | possible. No vision now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that |
W1:185.1 | but mean them for just an instant, there would be no further sorrow | possible for you in any form, in any place or time. Heaven would be |
W1:185.9 | you make. Be not deceived that it is otherwise. No compromise is | possible in this. You choose God's peace, or you have asked for |
W1:187.2 | How is this | possible? For it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your |
W1:193.3 | God offers no forgiveness, for He knows no sin is | possible. And yet He let His holy law of Love be given form in which |
W1:196.6 | its foolishness nor even see that it is there so that it would be | possible to question it. |
W1:R6.1 | we take but one idea each day, and practice it as often as is | possible. Besides the time we give morning and evening, which should |

M:6.3 | essential part of giving; in fact, it is the part that makes sharing | possible, the part that guarantees the giver will not lose but only |
M:6.4 | that makes it truly given. And it is trust that makes true giving | possible. Healing is the change of mind that the Holy Spirit in the |
M:9.1 | training program in which as many previous mistakes as | possible are corrected. Relationships in particular must be properly |
M:11.1 | us that He loves the world. God's Word has promised us that peace is | possible here, and what He promises can hardly be impossible. But it |
M:11.3 | without meaning and devoid of sense, yet out of which no way seems | possible—God has sent His Judgment to answer yours. Gently His |
M:11.3 | is the ununderstandable made understandable. How is peace | possible in this world? In your judgment it is not possible and can |
M:11.3 | How is peace possible in this world? In your judgment it is not | possible and can never be possible. But in the Judgment of God, what |
M:11.3 | in this world? In your judgment it is not possible and can never be | possible. But in the Judgment of God, what is reflected here is only |

M:16.4 | Perhaps the one generalization that can be made is this—as soon as | possible after waking, take your quiet time, continuing a minute or |

M:17.5 | acknowledges a separation from God. It states in the clearest form | possible that the mind which thinks it believes it has a separate |
M:17.8 | light of hope from God Himself. There is a way in which escape is | possible. It can be learned and taught, but it requires patience and |
M:17.8 | Once this is even dimly grasped, the way is open. Now it is | possible to take the next step. The interpretation can be changed at |
M:19.2 | however, the one interpretation that leads to truth. This becomes | possible because, while it is not true in itself, justice includes |
M:22.1 | there are no degrees of Atonement. It is the one complete concept | possible in this world, because it is the source of a wholly unified |

M:27.2 | In this perception of the universe as God created it, it would not be | possible to think of Him as loving. For who has decreed that all |
M:27.4 | there is reality in life, death is denied. No compromise in this is | possible. There is either a god of fear or One of Love. The world |

C:6.2 | what is impossible until the end of your days but you cannot make it | possible. Why not forgive the world for being other than what you |
C:6.3 | world have come to teach you, stated as simply and directly as is | possible. You are neither separate nor alone and never were and never |
C:6.14 | most. To not succeed at life would indeed be a failure if it were | possible for it to be so. Yet even this possibility you would cling |

C:11.8 | you guard most closely, knowing this is what made the separation | possible. You regard it as your one protection from God, the one |
C:12.4 | We have said before the only meaning | possible for your free will is your choice of what to join with and |

D:Day13.8 | Once fear is gone, true relationship is not only | possible but inevitable. True relationship exists naturally in the |
D:Day14.1 | in the spacious Self. Acceptance is necessary because escape is not | possible. Everything that is, is with us, which is why we are the |
D:Day14.1 | the sick or wounded self. It is your acceptance that escape is not | possible that will lead you out of forgetfulness to remembrance. It |
D:Day15.11 | is that it allows a starting point for your practice. While it is | possible to practice observance in every situation, it is necessary |
D:Day21.3 | it has always been the action of the receiver that made learning | possible. The receiver was thus also the source because the receiver |

D:Day28.18 | within time because only within time is the experience of separation | possible, and experience is where the power of transformation lies. |
D:Day28.23 | The key to this movement is the simple realization that it is | possible. This is what our time on the mountain has provided you |
D:Day35.5 | So you might ask, was it once | possible for you to be so unaware of your being that you were not |
D:Day36.2 | would live your life from within the realm of what you considered | possible. You did so continuously. This was the way in which you |

Tx:3.59 | the miraculous power of the Soul. The fact that each one has this | power completely is a fact that is entirely alien to human thinking, |
Tx:3.66 | the fundamental error of all those who believe they have usurped the | power of God. |
Tx:3.69 | that their own rejection is impossible. You have not usurped the | power of God, but you have lost it. Fortunately, when you lose |
Tx:3.72 | which we have discussed already. Their resemblance lies in their | power as foundations. Their difference lies in what rests upon |
Tx:3.72 | based on lies is weak. Nothing made by a Child of God is without | power. It is essential to realize this because otherwise you will not |
Tx:3.73 | You cannot resolve the authority problem by depreciating the | power of your minds. To do so is to deceive yourself, and this will |
Tx:3.78 | because it literally denies His Fatherhood. Never underestimate the | power of this denial. Look at your lives and see what the devil has |
Tx:4.3 | in a repetition compulsion. It reenacts the separation, the loss of | power, the foolish journey of the ego in an attempt at reparation, |
Tx:4.63 | and how many of them you have refused? There is no limit to the | power of a Son of God, but he himself can limit the expression of his |
Tx:4.63 | of a Son of God, but he himself can limit the expression of his | power as much as he chooses. |
Tx:4.74 | eternal because, as a product of the mind, it is endowed with the | power of its own creator. However, the decision to do this, rather |
Tx:4.83 | situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the ego any | power over you. |
Tx:5.22 | In the holy state, the will is free in the sense that its creative | power is unlimited, but choice itself is meaningless. |
Tx:5.27 | were created as equals. It was only my decision that gave me all | power in Heaven and earth. My only gift to you is to help you make |
Tx:5.29 | and making it stronger. As we share this goal we increase its | power to attract the whole Sonship and to bring it back into the |
Tx:5.31 | The | power of our joint motivation is beyond belief but not beyond |
Tx:5.50 | you in exile from the Kingdom, but in the Kingdom itself it has no | power. |
Tx:5.57 | The Atonement gives you the | power of a healed mind, but the power to create is of God. Therefore, |
Tx:5.57 | The Atonement gives you the power of a healed mind, but the | power to create is of God. Therefore, those who have been forgiven |
Tx:5.57 | the idea of healing, they must give it to hold it. The full | power of creation cannot be expressed as long as any of God's ideas |
Tx:5.60 | concept except to the ego, but do not underestimate the | power of the ego's belief in it. This is the belief from which all |
Tx:5.61 | the authority problem as involving the concept of usurping God's | power. The ego believes that this is what you did because it |
Tx:5.72 | as its maker, you recognize what it can do because you gave it the | power to do it. |
Tx:5.73 | The mind does indeed know its | power, because the mind does indeed know God. Remember the Kingdom |
Tx:5.74 | Spirit reverses its decisions, much as the Supreme Court has the | power to reverse the lower courts' decisions about the laws of this |
Tx:5.77 | means is that the Holy Spirit in later generations retains the | power to interpret correctly what former generations have thought |
Tx:5.84 | This is its inherent strength, although it may misuse its | power. Freud lost much of the potential value of his thought system, |
Tx:5.90 | Will, but you can choose to accept His care and use the infinite | power of His care for all those He created by it. |
Tx:6.24 | therefore reject it. As a result, you will teach rejection. The | power of the Sons of God is operating all the time because they were |
Tx:6.76 | decision cannot change it. As you begin to realize the quiet | power of the Holy Spirit's Voice and its perfect consistency, it |
Tx:7.1 | The creative | power of both God and His creations is limitless, but they are not in |
Tx:7.1 | Him. We have already said that only in this respect your creative | power differs from His. Even in this world there is a parallel. |
Tx:7.2 | from you to your creations. Only in this way can all creative | power extend outward. God's accomplishments are not yours. But yours |
Tx:7.2 | His. He created the Sonship, and you increase it. You have the | power to add to the Kingdom, but not to add to the Creator of the |
Tx:7.2 | but not to add to the Creator of the Kingdom. You claim this | power when you become vigilant only for God and His Kingdom. By |
Tx:7.2 | become vigilant only for God and His Kingdom. By accepting this | power as yours, you have learned to be what you are. |
Tx:7.24 | He maximizes all efforts and all results. By teaching the | power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He teaches you that all power |
Tx:7.24 | the power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He teaches you that all | power is yours. Its application does not matter. It is always |
Tx:7.25 | you are the way and the truth and the light. You did not make this | power, any more than I did. It was created to be shared and |
Tx:7.47 | is a lesson in sickness. Learning is constant and so vital in its | power for change that a Son of God can recognize his power in one |
Tx:7.47 | so vital in its power for change that a Son of God can recognize his | power in one instant and change the world in the next. That is |
Tx:7.55 | in utter confusion. Your own thinking has done this because of its | power, but your own thinking can also save you from this, because |
Tx:7.55 | but your own thinking can also save you from this, because its | power is not of your making. Your ability to direct your thinking |
Tx:7.55 | Your ability to direct your thinking as you will is part of its | power. If you do not believe you can do this, you have denied the |
Tx:7.55 | power. If you do not believe you can do this, you have denied the | power of your thought and thus rendered it powerless in your belief. |
Tx:7.56 | of the ego to preserve itself is enormous, but it stems from the | power of the mind, which the ego denies. This means that the ego |
Tx:7.58 | makes it treacherous to love, because you are love. Love is your | power, which the ego must deny. It must also deny everything which |
Tx:7.58 | which the ego must deny. It must also deny everything which this | power gives you, because it gives you everything. No one who has |
Tx:7.65 | and the creation is your wholeness, your sanity, and your limitless | power. This limitless power is God's gift to you, because it is what |
Tx:7.65 | wholeness, your sanity, and your limitless power. This limitless | power is God's gift to you, because it is what you are. If you |
Tx:7.70 | sometimes. Remember a very early lesson—“Never underestimate the | power of denial.” It has no power in itself, but you can give it the |
Tx:7.70 | early lesson—“Never underestimate the power of denial.” It has no | power in itself, but you can give it the power of your mind, whose |
Tx:7.70 | power of denial.” It has no power in itself, but you can give it the | power of your mind, whose power is without limit of any kind. If |
Tx:7.70 | power in itself, but you can give it the power of your mind, whose | power is without limit of any kind. If you use it to deny reality, |
Tx:7.81 | God, because they belong to His beloved Sons who belong to Him. All | power and glory are yours, because the Kingdom is His. |
Tx:7.84 | ego, using its own warped version of the laws of God, utilizes the | power of the mind only to defeat the mind's real purpose. It |
Tx:7.85 | you have excluded it from within is a complete distortion of the | power of extension. |
Tx:7.87 | of the laws of God by distorted minds which are misusing their own | power. |
Tx:7.91 | Only you can limit your creative | power, but God wills to release it. He no more wills you to deprive |
Tx:7.92 | its brothers is included in its own, as it is included in God. The | power of the whole Sonship and of its Creator is therefore the |
Tx:7.92 | totality must include God. Everything He created is given all His | power, because it is part of Him and shares His Being with Him. |
Tx:7.112 | heal a brother by recognizing his worth, you are acknowledging his | power to create and yours. He cannot have lost what you |
Tx:7.112 | in him. He is a co-creator with God with you. Deny his creative | power, and you are denying yours and that of God, Who created you. |
Tx:8.2 | the ego seems to interfere with your learning, but the ego has no | power to distract you unless you give it the power. |
Tx:8.2 | but the ego has no power to distract you unless you give it the | power. |
Tx:8.13 | His Kingdom because He created you for this. When we said, “All | power and glory are yours because the Kingdom is His,” this is what |
Tx:8.14 | The Will of God is without limit, and all | power and glory lie within it. It is boundless in strength and in |
Tx:8.14 | like Himself, you are like Him. You are part of Him Who is all | power and glory and are therefore as unlimited as He is. |
Tx:8.15 | To what else except all | power and glory can the Holy Spirit appeal to restore God's Kingdom? |
Tx:8.17 | His teaching will release your will to God's, uniting it with His | power and glory and establishing them as yours. You share them as |
Tx:8.20 | nothing else to learn. Everyone is looking for himself and for the | power and glory he thinks he has lost. Whenever you are with anyone, |
Tx:8.20 | you are with anyone, you have another opportunity to find them. Your | power and glory are in him, because they are yours. The ego tries |
Tx:8.23 | of yourself, because you are part of God, Who is everything. His | power and glory are everywhere, and you cannot be excluded from |
Tx:8.23 | That is why He has given you the means for undoing it. Through His | power and glory, all your wrong decisions are undone, completely |
Tx:8.23 | any part of the Sonship has accepted. Wrong decisions have no | power because they are not true. The imprisonment which they seem |
Tx:8.24 | | Power and glory belong to God alone. So do you. God gives |
Tx:8.24 | in Him. You cannot be powerless to do this, because this is your | power. Glory is God's gift to you, because that is what He is. See |
Tx:8.31 | condition, because will is the mechanism of decision. It is the | power by which you separate or join and experience pain or joy |
Tx:8.32 | as nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your will its | power, which I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you want to |
Tx:8.36 | can do nothing, but together our wills fuse into something whose | power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not being |
Tx:8.36 | our wills fuse into something whose power is far beyond the | power of its separate parts. By not being separate, the Will of God |
Tx:8.38 | His Oneness encompasses ours. To join with me is to restore His | power to you, because we are sharing it. I offer you only the |
Tx:8.38 | we are sharing it. I offer you only the recognition of His | power in you, but in that lies all truth. As we unite, we unite |
Tx:8.41 | for which God's Voice speaks in all of us. Never accord the ego the | power to interfere with the journey because it has none, [and] the |
Tx:8.42 | anything the world has to offer. The world can add nothing to the | power and the glory of God and His holy Sons, but it can blind the |
Tx:8.43 | glorify Him whom the world denies, for over His Kingdom, it has no | power. No one created by God can find joy in anything except the |
Tx:8.49 | because apart from each other we cannot function at all. The whole | power of God's Son lies in all of us, but not in any of us alone. God |
Tx:8.49 | will to be alone. That is why He created His Son and gave him the | power to create with Him. |
Tx:8.55 | the body that this is not so, you will begin to understand the | power of the mind that is in both of you. If you use the body for |
Tx:8.57 | impossible. When you look upon a brother as a physical entity, his | power and glory are lost to you, and so are yours. You have |
Tx:8.58 | You are not of yourselves. He of Whom you are has willed your | power and glory for you, with which you can perfectly accomplish |
Tx:8.64 | Learning must lead beyond the body to the reestablishment of the | power of the mind in it. This can be accomplished only if the mind |
Tx:8.68 | but there is unlimited communication and therefore unlimited | power and wholeness. The power of wholeness is extension. Do not |
Tx:8.68 | communication and therefore unlimited power and wholeness. The | power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this |
Tx:8.78 | can be so insistent. Have you seriously considered the distorting | power of something you want, even if it is not true? You have had |
Tx:8.85 | it hates. To the ego this is perfectly sensible. Believing in the | power of attack, the ego wants attack. |
Tx:8.93 | true from the false in your unconscious, we meant that He has the | power to look into what you have hidden and perceive the Will of |
Tx:9.23 | Yet if the dreamer is equated with the mind, the mind's corrective | power through the Holy Spirit is denied. |
Tx:9.61 | only for Himself. He created you for Himself, but He gave you the | power to create for your self so you could be like Him. That is |
Tx:9.75 | their sickness and returned to His Mind. He will not limit your | power to help them, because He has given it to you. Do not be |
Tx:9.75 | What Comforter can there be for the sick Children of God except His | power through you? Remember that it does not matter where in the |
Tx:9.77 | by sick minds which are too divided to know that creation shares | power and never usurps it. Sickness is idolatry, because it is the |
Tx:9.77 | usurps it. Sickness is idolatry, because it is the belief that | power can be taken from you. Yet this is impossible, because you |
Tx:9.77 | Yet this is impossible, because you are part of God, Who is all | power. |
Tx:9.80 | and sickness is an illusion. Yet every Son of God has the | power to deny illusions anywhere in the Kingdom merely by denying |
Tx:9.91 | weakening his belief in sickness, which he does not share. The | power of one mind can shine into another, because all the lamps of |
Tx:9.101 | bring sin, pain, and suffering into your own mind because of the | power He gave it. Your mind is capable of creating worlds, but it can |
Tx:10.32 | when you deny your Father is still for your protection, for the | power of your will cannot be lessened without the intervention of God |
Tx:10.32 | the intervention of God against it, and any limitation on your | power is not the Will of God. Therefore, look only to the power |
Tx:10.32 | on your power is not the Will of God. Therefore, look only to the | power that God gave to save you, remembering that it is yours |
Tx:10.41 | in terms which makes it meaningless. “Dynamics” implies the | power to do something, and the whole separation fallacy lies in |
Tx:10.41 | whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the | power to do anything. The ego is fearful to you because you |
Tx:10.42 | All | power is of God. What is not of Him has no power to do anything. |
Tx:10.42 | All power is of God. What is not of Him has no | power to do anything. |
Tx:10.43 | is to be separate, sufficient unto itself, and independent of any | power except its own. This is why it is the symbol of separation. |
Tx:10.46 | ego always attacks on behalf of separation. Believing it has the | power to do this, it does nothing else because its goal of autonomy |
Tx:10.47 | to fear, it is diminishing your independence and weakening your | power. Yet its one claim to your allegiance is that it can give |
Tx:10.47 | power. Yet its one claim to your allegiance is that it can give | power to you. Without this belief, you would not listen to it at all. |
Tx:10.47 | it, you are belittling yourself and depriving yourself of | power? |
Tx:10.53 | of the ego to everything. Never forget that the ego believes that | power, understanding, and truth lie in separation, and to |
Tx:10.58 | to the thought system you want to be true. Every brother has the | power to release you if you will to be free. You cannot accept |
Tx:10.63 | Do not underestimate the | power of the devotion of God's Son nor the power of the god he |
Tx:10.63 | Do not underestimate the power of the devotion of God's Son nor the | power of the god he worships over him. For he places himself at the |
Tx:10.63 | obey. In his name they crucify themselves, believing that the | power of the Son of God is born of sacrifice and pain. The God of the |
Tx:10.64 | gladly because it is the symbol of joy. Its whole compelling | power lies in the fact that it represents what you want to be. The |
Tx:10.68 | are of equal value, and their equality is their oneness. The whole | power of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory to |
Tx:10.85 | give it because you want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing | power because nothing will be denied your simple request. What |
Tx:10.87 | for He would save you from all condemnation. Accept His healing | power and use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the Son |
Tx:11.1 | have made his error real to you. To interpret error is to give it | power, and having done this, you will overlook truth. |
Tx:11.12 | predominance, fear becomes meaningless. You have denied its | power to conceal love, which was its only purpose. The mask which |
Tx:11.15 | of the density of the fog that obscures it. If you give no | power to the fog to obscure the light, it has none, for it has |
Tx:11.15 | no power to the fog to obscure the light, it has none, for it has | power only because the Son of God gave power to it. He must himself |
Tx:11.15 | it has none, for it has power only because the Son of God gave | power to it. He must himself withdraw that power, remembering that |
Tx:11.15 | the Son of God gave power to it. He must himself withdraw that | power, remembering that all power is of God. You can remember this |
Tx:11.15 | to it. He must himself withdraw that power, remembering that all | power is of God. You can remember this for all the Sonship. Do not |
Tx:11.37 | it and gives existence to it. Yet it is also your mind that has the | power to deny the ego's existence, and you will surely do so when |
Tx:11.70 | The | power of decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this |
Tx:11.70 | else, it is because you have looked within and thought you saw the | power to give something else within yourself. It was only this |
Tx:11.71 | mind is the loveliest of God's creations. Coming only from God, its | power and grandeur could only bring you peace if you really looked |
Tx:11.83 | never be content without reality. What God did not give you has no | power over you, and the attraction of love for love remains |
Tx:12.13 | love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own real | power seems to you as your real weakness. For you could not control |
Tx:12.19 | is not welcome. And you will exempt yourself from His healing | power, for by not offering total love, you will not be healed |
Tx:12.55 | because they brought you here. Your light will join with theirs in | power so compelling that it will draw the others out of darkness as |
Tx:12.60 | real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear. And yet their | power is not the same because their real attraction to you is |
Tx:12.61 | to return to dust even as you made it. This aching world has not the | power to touch the living world at all. You could not give it that, |
Tx:12.62 | Yet the real world has the | power to touch you even here because you love it. And what you call |
Tx:13.8 | the holy banner of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the | power of God's Son will move in us, and we will leave no one |
Tx:13.9 | are the witnesses to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given you the | power to create the witnesses to [yours, which is as His. Deny a |
Tx:13.12 | terms of the belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the | power of belief, and where it is invested determines its reward. For |
Tx:13.13 | be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is yours. The | power of your valuing will make it so. |
Tx:13.43 | nightmare that disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping Son holds no | power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches |
Tx:13.51 | dark. The thoughts which the Mind of God's Son projects have all the | power that he gives to them. The thoughts he shares with God are |
Tx:13.68 | for guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The | power of decision is all that is yours. What you can decide between |
Tx:13.70 | not choose to free his brother and enter light with him. By giving | power to nothing, he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that |
Tx:13.70 | he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that nothing has no | power. And by not dispelling darkness, he became afraid of darkness |
Tx:13.70 | of darkness and of light. The joy of learning that darkness has no | power over the Son of God is the happy lesson the Holy Spirit teaches |
Tx:13.72 | you, for if you do, you teach yourself that what is not of God has | power over you. The causeless cannot be. Do not attest to it, and |
Tx:13.72 | to deny the causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The | power that God has given to His Son is his, and nothing else can |
Tx:14.10 | pain, no trial, no fear that teaching this can fail to overcome. The | power of God Himself supports this teaching and guarantees its |
Tx:14.11 | Join your own efforts to the | power that cannot fail and must result in peace. No one can be |
Tx:14.11 | by teaching such as this. You will not see yourself beyond the | power of God if you teach only this. You will not be exempt from the |
Tx:14.12 | attribute, with no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The | power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. |
Tx:14.13 | Blessed are you who teach with me. Our | power comes not of us but of our Father. In guiltlessness we know |
Tx:14.13 | stand with me on holy ground. Remember for everyone your Father's | power that He has given him. Believe not that you cannot teach His |
Tx:14.14 | He would release from fear and reestablish the reign of love. The | power of love is in His gentleness, which is of God and therefore |
Tx:14.17 | beneficence. What is kept apart from love cannot share its healing | power, because it has been separated off and kept in darkness. The |
Tx:14.18 | Would you continue to give imagined | power to these strange ideas of safety? They are neither safe nor |
Tx:14.20 | you are. All this, and nothing else, would He separate from you. The | power of decision, which you made in place of the power of |
Tx:14.20 | from you. The power of decision, which you made in place of the | power of creation, He would teach you how to use on your behalf. |
Tx:14.29 | to means of preservation and release. His task is mighty, but the | power of God is with Him. Therefore, to Him it is so easy that it was |
Tx:14.32 | In the darkness you have obscured the glory God gave you and the | power He bestowed upon His guiltless Son. All this lies hidden in |
Tx:14.32 | is the closing of the doors that interferes with recognition of the | power of God that shines in you. Banish not power from your mind, but |
Tx:14.32 | with recognition of the power of God that shines in you. Banish not | power from your mind, but let all that would hide your glory be |
Tx:14.37 | The link with which the Father joins Himself to those He gives the | power to create like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is |
Tx:14.40 | The Atonement is so gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its | power will rush to your assistance and support. You are not frail |
Tx:14.44 | Could you but realize for a single instant the | power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can |
Tx:14.51 | requires no judgment of your own. The answer is very simple. The | power of God, and not of you, engenders miracles. The miracle |
Tx:14.51 | miracles. The miracle itself is but the witness that you have the | power of God in you. That is the reason why the miracle gives equal |
Tx:14.51 | who share in it, and that is also why everyone shares in it. The | power of God is limitless. And being always maximal, it offers |
Tx:14.57 | of His Son with all the love He holds for him. Nor will the | power of all His love be absent from any miracle you offer to His |
Tx:14.58 | the essential thing is learning that you do not know. Knowledge is | power, and all power is of God. You who have tried to keep power for |
Tx:14.58 | is learning that you do not know. Knowledge is power, and all | power is of God. You who have tried to keep power for yourselves have |
Tx:14.58 | is power, and all power is of God. You who have tried to keep | power for yourselves have lost it. You still have the power, but you |
Tx:14.58 | tried to keep power for yourselves have lost it. You still have the | power, but you have interposed so much between it and your |
Tx:14.58 | cannot use it. Everything you have taught yourselves has made your | power more and more obscure to you. You know not what it is nor |
Tx:14.58 | You know not what it is nor where. You have made a semblance of | power and a show of strength so pitiful that it must fail you. For |
Tx:14.58 | power and a show of strength so pitiful that it must fail you. For | power is not a seeming strength, and truth is beyond semblance of any |
Tx:14.58 | semblance of any kind. Yet all that stands between you and the | power of God in you is but your learning of the false and your |
Tx:14.59 | of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given all | power by Him, learn to be powerless? What have you taught yourselves |
Tx:14.61 | God gave it. This lesson shines with God's glory, for in it lies His | power, which He shares so gladly with His Son. |
Tx:14.75 | The | power of God, from which they both arise, is yours as surely as it is |
Tx:14.75 | you. Leave room for Him, and you will find yourself so filled with | power that nothing will prevail against your peace. And this will |
Tx:15.15 | Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's whole | power to you. He Who transcends time for you understands what time is |
Tx:15.21 | will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the | power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will never |
Tx:15.24 | when you realize that it is true and constitutes a tribute to your | power. You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every |
Tx:15.26 | The | power of God will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear |
Tx:15.26 | of His dear Son. Search for the little, and you deny yourself His | power. God is not willing that His Son be content with less than |
Tx:15.28 | with littleness are the decisions you have made about yourself. The | power and the glory that lie in you from God are for all who, like |
Tx:15.34 | Forget not that his call is yours, and answer him with me. God's | power is forever on the side of His host, for it protects only the |
Tx:15.58 | All separation vanishes as holiness is shared. For holiness is | power, and by sharing it, it gains in strength. If you seek for |
Tx:15.58 | of relationships which transcends the concept of loss of | power completely. |
Tx:15.64 | of all your brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the | power of God will take their rightful place in you, and you will |
Tx:15.77 | that communication is salvation. And He will do so, for the | power of God in Him and you is joined in real relationship, so |
Tx:15.88 | strength between Heaven and hell, God and the ego, and release your | power unto creation, which is the only purpose for which it was given |
Tx:15.90 | of God. His attraction for you remains unlimited, but because your | power, being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from love. |
Tx:15.92 | It is in your | power in time to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son. |
Tx:15.93 | instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited | power is thus restored to him. What other gift can you offer me, when |
Tx:15.94 | acceptance of it, you have offered it to everyone. It is in your | power to make this season holy, for it is in your power to make the |
Tx:15.94 | It is in your power to make this season holy, for it is in your | power to make the time of Christ be now. |
Tx:15.102 | Host is as holy as the Perfect Innocence which He protects and Whose | power protects Him. |
Tx:16.7 | which looks to weakness and hopes to find love there. The | power of love, which is its meaning, lies in the strength of God, |
Tx:16.17 | listening will increase, and peace will grow with its increase. The | power of holiness and the weakness of attack have both been |
Tx:16.17 | in minds firmly convinced that holiness is weakness and attack is | power. Should not this be a sufficient miracle to teach you that your |
Tx:16.20 | to be used and not held idly by. They have already proved their | power sufficiently for you to place your faith in them and not in |
Tx:16.25 | know. And they communicate to you through the Holy Spirit, and their | power and gratitude to you for their creation they offer gladly to |
Tx:16.27 | what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you will learn His | power and strength and purity, and love Him as His Father does. His |
Tx:16.53 | How can you grant unlimited | power to what you think you have attacked? So fearful has the truth |
Tx:16.53 | You think it safer to endow the little self which you have made with | power you wrested from truth, triumphing over it and leaving it |
Tx:16.53 | to kill his self and on his body raise another self which takes its | power from his death. Over and over and over this ritual is enacted. |
Tx:16.62 | they are trying to decrease their magnitude. Each would deny his | power, for the separate union excludes the universe. Far more is |
Tx:16.76 | Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the | power of the Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The |
Tx:16.79 | which would heal and the ego's “atonement” which would destroy. The | power of God and all His Love, without limit, will support you as you |
Tx:17.2 | what you wish. This strange position in a sense acknowledges your | power. Yet by distorting it and devoting it to “evil,” it also makes |
Tx:17.3 | would keep them from truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the | power that heals all pain arises from your wish to retain some |
Tx:17.15 | the ego's goals and make your relationships the witness to its | power. It is these shadow figures which would make the ego holy in |
Tx:17.36 | And your defense must now be undertaken to keep truth whole. The | power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of Christ, and the joy of |
Tx:17.42 | ascendance in our minds. We will gain everything by giving Him the | power and the glory and keeping no illusions of where they are. They |
Tx:17.70 | The | power set in you in whom the Holy Spirit's goal has been established |
Tx:17.76 | given wherever faithlessness is laid aside unused. And then the | power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This power |
Tx:17.76 | the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This | power instantly transforms all situations into one sure and |
Tx:18.18 | Dreams show you that you have the | power to make a world as you would have it be, and that because you |
Tx:18.28 | accomplishment. Your desire is now in complete accord with all the | power of the Holy Spirit's will. No little, faltering footsteps that |
Tx:18.31 | has joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the | power of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are coming |
Tx:18.35 | the result of your small willingness combined with the unlimited | power of God's Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is |
Tx:18.46 | threatens the peace of one is an equal threat to the other. The | power of joining and its blessing lie in the fact that it is now |
Tx:18.77 | as it rests upon the ocean. Yet in neither sun nor ocean is the | power that rests in you. Would you remain within your tiny kingdom, a |
Tx:18.90 | gives way softly to the mountain tops which rise above it and has no | power at all to hold back anyone willing to climb above it and see |
Tx:19.19 | of God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can even turn the | power of his mind against himself. But he cannot sin. There is |
Tx:19.30 | through it. If it does not obey, the mind is judged insane. The only | power which could change perception is thus kept impotent, held to |
Tx:19.32 | holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself before the | power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, before which |
Tx:19.33 | it would forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a | power beyond God's, capable of making another will which could attack |
Tx:19.34 | be healed of sin and all its ravages the instant that you give it no | power over each other. And you will help each other overcome mistakes |
Tx:19.66 | everyone offers you witness of the end of sin and shows you that its | power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, when the belief in sin is |
Tx:19.68 | For what He gives must be extended if you would have its limitless | power and use it for the Son of God's release. It is not this you |
Tx:19.83 | to the incorruptible have been given through your acceptance the | power to release from corruption. What better way to teach the |
Tx:19.94 | to love, Love Itself has called, and each has been surmounted by the | power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your wanting fear |
Tx:19.97 | them. It would not have you see its weakness and learn it has no | power to keep you from the truth. The Guide Who brought you here |
Tx:19.102 | you will receive of him according to your choice. He has in him the | power to forgive your sins, as you for him. Neither can give it to |
Tx:20.11 | stands beside him? With him, your vision has become the greatest | power for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could give. For |
Tx:20.24 | you look on is the answer that it gave you, and you have given it | power to adjust the world to make its answer true. You asked this |
Tx:20.24 | of the one thing that still would have it be unholy. Give it no | power to adjust the means and end. |
Tx:20.28 | Nothing can hurt you unless you give it the | power to do so. For you give power as the laws of this world |
Tx:20.28 | can hurt you unless you give it the power to do so. For you give | power as the laws of this world interpret giving—as you give, you |
Tx:20.28 | giving—as you give, you lose. It is not up to you to give | power at all. Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the |
Tx:20.28 | —as you give, you lose. It is not up to you to give power at all. | Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the Holy Spirit, Who |
Tx:20.28 | the Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He gives no | power to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this |
Tx:20.28 | have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees them not and gives no | power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. |
Tx:20.29 | laws of God in minds that have established other laws and given them | power to enforce what God created not. |
Tx:20.30 | were made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and give them | power over you by accepting their results as your just due. What |
Tx:20.31 | Those who choose freedom will experience only its results. Their | power is of God, and they will give it only to what God has given to |
Tx:20.31 | but this can touch them, for they see only this, sharing their | power according to the Will of God. And thus their freedom is |
Tx:20.31 | for those with little wings have not accepted for themselves the | power to share with you. |
Tx:20.32 | The sinless give as they received. See, then, the | power of sinlessness within your brother and share with him the power |
Tx:20.32 | the power of sinlessness within your brother and share with him the | power of the release from sin you offered him. To each who walks this |
Tx:20.38 | and given welcome. Peace to your holy relationship, which has the | power to hold the unity of the Son of God together. You give to one |
Tx:20.48 | are kept obscure and hidden from the sun. It does not seek for | power, but for relationships. The body is the ego's chosen weapon for |
Tx:20.48 | for relationships. The body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking | power through relationships. And its relationships must be |
Tx:20.53 | no trace behind their going. The unholy instant of their seeming | power is frail as is a snowflake, but without its loveliness. Is this |
Tx:20.71 | The body is the sign of weakness, vulnerability, and loss of | power. Can such a savior help you? Would you turn in your distress |
Tx:20.72 | under His gentle gaze. What can the body's eyes perceive, with | power to correct? Its eyes adjust to sin, unable to overlook it |
Tx:20.74 | this. Once you accept this simple fact and take unto yourself the | power you gave them, you are released from them. One thing is sure |
Tx:21.2 | you and to accept as yours. And if this is its meaning, then the | power to give it joy must lie within you.] |
Tx:21.14 | you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the | power of salvation lies: |
Tx:21.17 | that the happenings that come to him were not his choice. His | power of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he |
Tx:21.17 | and you decided sin was your goal. Be happy, and you gave the | power of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the |
Tx:21.17 | He gave to you to give yourself. For by this gift is given you the | power to release your savior that he may give salvation unto you. |
Tx:21.18 | the one you do is given you because you want it. Yet for this, the | power of your wanting must first be recognized. You must accept its |
Tx:21.21 | against what must forever be. This is the statement that he has the | power to make God powerless and so to take it for himself and leave |
Tx:21.24 | what it wants to make it so. There is no better demonstration of the | power of wanting, and therefore of faith, to make its goals seem real |
Tx:21.26 | that you made yourself. For if you think the world you made has | power to make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and Father, |
Tx:21.27 | with It is the Source of his creating. Apart from this he has no | power to create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes nothing |
Tx:21.30 | faith and with the persistence that faith inevitably brings. The | power of faith is never recognized if it is placed in sin. But it |
Tx:21.31 | faith can move mountains? This is indeed a little feat for such a | power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as long as he |
Tx:21.33 | but faith in nothing. Faith given to illusions does not lack | power, for by it does the Son of God believe that he is powerless. |
Tx:21.36 | be removed. Desiring to look upon their brothers in holiness, the | power of belief and faith goes far beyond the body, supporting |
Tx:21.36 | had limited their understanding of the world, desiring to place its | power elsewhere should another point of view be given them. The |
Tx:21.38 | Your faith in sacrifice has given it great | power in your sight, except you do not realize you cannot see |
Tx:21.40 | can have faith in it to serve the Holy Spirit's goal and give it | power to serve as means to help the blind to see. But in their |
Tx:21.59 | the belief. For uncorrected error of any kind deceives you about the | power that is in you to make correction. If it can correct and you |
Tx:21.65 | like love, would reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The | power to heal the Son of God is given you because he must be one |
Tx:21.69 | The | power that you have over the Son of God is not a threat to his |
Tx:21.71 | they be except his enemy? And what can they do but envy him his | power and by their envy make themselves afraid of it? These are the |
Tx:21.71 | ones, silent and afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful the | power of the Son of God will strike them dead and raising up their |
Tx:21.72 | strong are never treacherous because they have no need to dream of | power and to act out their dream. How would an army act in dreams? |
Tx:21.76 | seem to be the last remaining hope of finding sin and not accepting | power. |
Tx:21.77 | Forget not that the choice of truth or sin, | power or helplessness, is the choice of whether to attack or heal. |
Tx:21.77 | is the choice of whether to attack or heal. For healing comes of | power and attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you cannot want |
Tx:21.81 | change your mind. You can desire to exchange your helplessness for | power, and lose this same desire as a little glint of sin attracts |
Tx:21.84 | vision can be given only those who wish for constancy. The | power of the Son of God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong |
Tx:21.84 | and you will look on it and think it real. No thought but has the | power to release or kill. And none can leave the thinker's mind or |
Tx:21.87 | desires that everything be like itself and sees it so. Nothing has | power to confound its constancy because its own desire cannot be |
Tx:21.88 | his desire of something he believes holds out some promise of the | power of giving it. He may be wrong in what he asks, where, and of |
Tx:21.89 | God's Will and are His happiness, whose will is powerful as His, a | power that is not lost in your illusions, think carefully why it |
Tx:22.19 | makes all truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the | power of belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is |
Tx:22.24 | Let us look closer at the whole illusion that what you made has | power to enslave its maker. This is the same belief that caused the |
Tx:22.25 | that it must be healed and not with fear. Nothing you made has any | power over you unless you still would be apart from your Creator and |
Tx:22.27 | rests, in time and yet beyond, immortal yet on earth. How great the | power that lies in it. Time waits upon its will, and earth will be as |
Tx:22.39 | and make the other choice. This is not so. A choice made with the | power of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is |
Tx:22.47 | wholly undefending, for in this quiet state alone is strength and | power. Here can no weakness enter, for here is no attack and |
Tx:22.54 | nothing given it but will be used. This holy relationship has the | power to heal all pain, regardless of its form. Neither of you alone |
Tx:22.59 | blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He will join to it all the | power that God has given Him to make each little gift of love a |
Tx:22.60 | welfare of the world. And it is only arrogance that would deny the | power of your will. Think you the Will of God is powerless? Is this |
Tx:22.61 | or yourself than to attack the great Creator of the universe, whose | power you know. |
Tx:22.62 | were one with God and recognized this oneness, you would know His | power is yours. But you will not remember this while you believe |
Tx:22.65 | you cannot fear alone when your relationship can also teach the | power of love is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not |
Tx:23.7 | Conflict within you must imply that you believe the ego has the | power to be victorious. Why else would you identify with it? Surely |
Tx:23.14 | Conflict must be between two forces. It cannot exist between one | power and nothingness. There is nothing you could attack that is not |
Tx:23.50 | for what it is limits the healing and the miracles you have the | power to extend to all. Yet does the Holy Spirit understand how to |
Tx:24.1 | And what illusion that idly seems to drift between them has the | power to defeat what is Their will? |
Tx:24.2 | jeopardize your learning. No belief is neutral. Every one has the | power to dictate each decision you make. For a decision is a |
Tx:24.4 | have been made and kept hidden to become beliefs, now given | power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake you not the power |
Tx:24.4 | given power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake you not the | power of these hidden warriors to disrupt your peace. For it is at |
Tx:24.13 | strong support? Who can detract from his omnipotence yet share his | power? And who can use him as the gauge of littleness and be |
Tx:24.18 | and given it his place, remember this: He has not lost the | power to forgive you all the sins you think you placed between him |
Tx:24.27 | what God created not. And yet this idol that seems to give you | power has taken it away. For you have given your brother's birthright |
Tx:24.40 | it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does will create. The | power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as does love extend |
Tx:24.57 | in His Son, whom you mistook as flesh and bound to laws that have no | power over him at all. |
Tx:24.59 | the body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all the | power to hold itself complete within itself, with every entry shut |
Tx:24.60 | vigilance—with little effort and with little time and with the | power of God maintaining it and promising success. Yet of the two, it |
Tx:24.60 | it no sacrifice is asked, no strain called forth, and all the | power of Heaven and the might of truth itself is given to provide the |
Tx:25.21 | Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has | power over you except His Will and yours, who but extend His Will. It |
Tx:25.22 | that you may esteem yourself and him. To each of you is given the | power of salvation that escape from darkness into light be yours to |
Tx:25.30 | The Maker of the world of gentleness has perfect | power to offset the world of violence and hate that seems to stand |
Tx:25.31 | sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the | power to think he can be hurt. What could this be except a |
Tx:25.42 | of God may cherish toward himself is God believed to be without the | power to save what He created from the pain of hell. But in the love |
Tx:25.43 | and only bless. And being in accord with what God wills, he has the | power to heal and bless all those he looks on with the grace of God |
Tx:25.54 | The Holy Spirit has the | power to change the whole foundation of the world you see to |
Tx:25.72 | does mercy stand at God's right hand and give the Son of God the | power to forgive himself of sin. |
Tx:25.75 | You can be perfect witness to the | power of love and justice if you understand it is impossible the |
Tx:25.84 | to decide it should remain unsettled, unresolved, and lasting in its | power of injustice and attack. No one can be unjust to you, unless |
Tx:26.1 | to limit loss. The body is itself a sacrifice—a giving up of | power in the name of saving just a little for yourself. To see a |
Tx:26.7 | to the death of God and of His holy Son, think not that you have | power to make of them what God willed not they be. In Heaven God's |
Tx:26.29 | hears the song of Heaven and remains without a voice that adds its | power to the song and makes it sweeter still. And each one joins the |
Tx:26.39 | a part of resurrection, not of death. No past illusions have the | power to keep you in a place of death, a vault God's Son entered an |
Tx:26.44 | striving for can hurt you and will do so. Not because it has the | power to hurt, but just because you have denied it is but an illusion |
Tx:26.44 | has entered all the world of sick illusions. All belief in sin, in | power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death has come to |
Tx:26.45 | remain content. Yet God has given him a better Friend in Whom all | power in earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you think is |
Tx:26.64 | and from hell and death, all glory be forever. For you have | power to save the Son of God because his Father willed that it be so. |
Tx:26.65 | To use the | power God has given you as He would have it used is natural. It is |
Tx:26.65 | mistakes and set him free. But it is arrogant to lay aside the | power that He gave and choose a little senseless wish instead of what |
Tx:27.4 | The | power of witness is beyond belief because it brings conviction in its |
Tx:27.11 | proclaim the truth and value that it represents. Let it receive the | power to represent an endless life, forever unattacked. And to your |
Tx:27.16 | without effect. What you would prove to him, you will believe. The | power of witness comes from your belief. And everything you say or |
Tx:27.17 | of his innocence. It is this testimony which can speak with | power greater than a thousand tongues. For here is his forgiveness |
Tx:27.18 | disappear before the ancient clarion call of life. This call has | power far beyond the weak and miserable cry of death and guilt. The |
Tx:27.29 | | Power cannot oppose. For opposition would weaken it, and weakened |
Tx:27.29 | Power cannot oppose. For opposition would weaken it, and weakened | power is a contradiction in ideas. Weak strength is meaningless, and |
Tx:27.29 | power is a contradiction in ideas. Weak strength is meaningless, and | power used to weaken is employed to limit. And therefore it must be |
Tx:27.29 | therefore it must be limited and weak because that is its purpose. | Power is unopposed, to be itself. No weakness can intrude on it |
Tx:27.31 | is nothing to attack or to deny, love, or hate, or to endow with | power or to see as weak. The picture has been wholly canceled out |
Tx:27.32 | will fill, and where He is, there must the truth abide. Unweakened | power with no opposite is what creation is. For this there are no |
Tx:27.33 | without a form, unpictured and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a | power known as wholly free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have |
Tx:27.35 | A | Power wholly limitless has come, not to destroy, but to receive Its |
Tx:27.35 | fear to lose you never had. Yet only this appears to interfere with | power unlimited and single thoughts, complete and happy, without |
Tx:27.35 | complete and happy, without opposite. You do not know the peace of | power which opposes nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all. Give |
Tx:27.35 | nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the | Power beyond forgiveness and beyond the world of symbols and of |
Tx:27.52 | has taught you to yourself, and He will do the rest. And thus the | power of your learning will be proved to you by all the many |
Tx:27.83 | of all the sinful things the body does within its dream. You have no | power to make the body stop its evil deeds because you did not make |
Tx:29.5 | and of distance seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a | power that lies not within itself. And herein lies its power over |
Tx:29.5 | it with a power that lies not within itself. And herein lies its | power over you. For now you think that it determines when you meet |
Tx:29.11 | Cause, and so it must be you are healed. And being healed, the | power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle is not a separate |
Tx:29.18 | has not been recognized. And so it seems to be a thing with | power in itself. As something, it can be perceived and thought to |
Tx:29.23 | the gentle way of kindness to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given | power to forgive you your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it |
Tx:29.40 | a purpose that you do not have. But you can not remove the | power to change your mind and see another purpose there. Change is |
Tx:29.49 | You try to see in it a place of idols found outside yourself, with | power to make complete what is within by splitting what you are |
Tx:29.49 | given you. Your idols do what you would have them do and have the | power you ascribe to them. And you pursue them vainly in the dream |
Tx:29.49 | them. And you pursue them vainly in the dream because you want their | power as your own. |
Tx:29.52 | as such and never seen for what they really are. That is the only | power which they have. Their purpose is obscure, and they are |
Tx:29.53 | massed against your confidence and peace of mind. They have the | power to supply your lacks and add the value which you do not have. |
Tx:29.55 | from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet a thought without the | power to change one blade of grass from something living to a sign of |
Tx:29.56 | It must be believed before it seems to come to life and given | power that it may be feared. Its life and power are its believer's |
Tx:29.56 | come to life and given power that it may be feared. Its life and | power are its believer's gift, and this is what the miracle restores |
Tx:29.56 | gift, and this is what the miracle restores to what has life and | power worthy of the gift of Heaven and eternal peace. The miracle |
Tx:29.57 | This is the anti-Christ—the strange idea there is a | power past omnipotence, a place beyond the infinite, a time |
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 where the |
Tx:29.61 | to let himself bow down in worship to what has no life and seek for | power in the powerless. What happened to the holy Son of God that |
Tx:29.64 | children? They pretend they rule the world and give their toys the | power to move about and talk and think and feel and speak for them. |
Tx:30.37 | earth but must depend on your decision, that he learn death has no | power over him because he shares your freedom as he shares your will. |
Tx:30.41 | want. Creation gives no separate person and no separate thing the | power to complete the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to |
Tx:30.53 | for thus you prove that you have been deceived. Attack has | power to make illusions real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could |
Tx:30.53 | real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could be made fearful by a | power that can have no real effects at all? What could it be but an |
Tx:30.53 | at all. His one mistake is that he thinks them real. What can the | power of illusions do? |
Tx:30.74 | correction or escape. There would be one mistake which had the | power to undo creation and to make a world which could replace it and |
Tx:30.77 | cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle must lack the | power to heal. |
Tx:30.81 | mistakes that have been given no effects. But what you see as having | power to make an idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he |
Tx:30.92 | from you consistently. For you have asked it be withheld from | power to heal all dreams. There is no miracle you cannot have when |
Tx:30.94 | when you are tempted by a dream of what he is. But do not give it | power to replace the changeless in him in your sight of him. There is |
Tx:31.3 | in every form you could conceive of them could ever doubt the | power of your learning skill. There is no greater power in the world. |
Tx:31.3 | ever doubt the power of your learning skill. There is no greater | power in the world. The world was made by it and even now depends on |
Tx:31.3 | simple and the obvious. Say not you cannot learn them. For your | power to learn is strong enough to teach you that your will is not |
Tx:31.5 | sees in all the world. His simple lessons in forgiveness have a | power mightier than yours because they call from God and from your |
Tx:31.6 | which have no meaning? God willed not His Son forget Him. And the | power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which lesson |
Tx:31.29 | prisoner and not the mind. The body thinks no thoughts. It has no | power to learn, to pardon, nor enslave. It gives no orders that the |
Tx:31.37 | way instead? For while he sees a choice where there is none, what | power of decision can he use? The great release of power must begin |
Tx:31.37 | is none, what power of decision can he use? The great release of | power must begin with learning where it really has a use. And what |
Tx:31.37 | with learning where it really has a use. And what decision has | power if it be applied in situations without choice? |
Tx:31.40 | There is a choice which you have | power to make when you have seen the real alternatives. Until that |
Tx:31.40 | yourself again. This course attempts to teach no more than that the | power of decision cannot lie in choosing different forms of what is |
Tx:31.79 | of you. For vision can but represent a wish, because it has no | power to create. Yet it can look with love or look with hate, |
Tx:31.83 | it orders him to feel. It sets the limits on what he can do; its | power is the only strength he has; his grasp cannot exceed its tiny |
Tx:31.86 | by never using weakness to direct your actions, you have given it no | power. And the light of Christ in you is given charge of everything |
Tx:31.87 | His face from you. His holiness is yours because He is the only | power that is real in you. His strength is yours because He is the |
Tx:31.88 | from Him. They will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the | power of the Will of God. And what they will is only what He wills. |
Tx:31.93 | I ask when in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of God and | power to bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the world |
W1:20.3 | he is the resurrection and the life. His Will is done because all | power is given him in Heaven and on earth. In your determination to |
W1:38.1 | and limits of any kind. Your holiness is totally unlimited in its | power because it establishes you as a Son of God, at one with the |
W1:38.1 | God, at one with the Mind of his Creator. Through your holiness, the | power of God is made manifest. Through your holiness the power of God |
W1:38.1 | the power of God is made manifest. Through your holiness the | power of God is made available. And there is nothing the power of God |

W1:38.2 | It is equal in its power to help anyone because it is equal in its | power to save anyone. If you are holy, so is everything God created. |
W1:38.3 | In today's exercises, we will apply the | power of your holiness to all problems, difficulties, or suffering in |
W1:38.7 | There is nothing my holiness cannot do because the | power of God lies in it. |
W1:41.2 | The idea for today has the | power to end all this foolishness forever. And foolishness it is, |
W1:42.1 | is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you | power. And it is His gift to you, rather than your own, which offers |
W1:44.10 | that they cannot hold you to the world unless you give them the | power to do so. |
W1:53.5 | when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember the | power of my decision and recognize where I really abide. |
W1:54.2 | Neutral thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have | power. They will either make a false world or lead me to the real |

W1:58.4 | is nothing my holiness cannot do. My holiness is unlimited in its | power to heal because it is unlimited in its power to save. What is |
W1:58.4 | is unlimited in its power to heal because it is unlimited in its | power to save. What is there to be saved from except illusions? And |
W1:61.3 | assertion of your right to be saved and an acknowledgment of the | power that is given you to save others. |
W1:62.3 | all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and | power God gave His Son to your awareness. |
W1:63.1 | How holy are you who have the | power to bring peace to every mind! How blessed are you who can learn |
W1:69.7 | ahead. Your little effort and small determination call on the | power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you |
W1:69.8 | in mind that what you undertake with God must succeed. Then let the | power of God work in you and through you, that His Will and yours may |

W1:73.1 | in it. The ego's idle wishes are unshared and therefore have no | power at all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make |
W1:73.10 | wholly in accord with your will. It is not the purpose of an alien | power, thrust upon you unwillingly. It is the one purpose here on |
W1:73.14 | Then let your will assert itself, joined with the | power of God and united with your Self. Put the rest of the practice |
W1:75.11 | Give thanks for mercy and the Love of God. Rejoice in the | power of forgiveness to heal your sight completely. Be confident that |
W1:R2.3 | whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no | power. Replace them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget |
W1:R2.3 | with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your will has | power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you through and |
W1:85.7 | with my awareness of the Source of my salvation. This has no | power to remove salvation from me. |
W1:87.2 | [73] I will there be light. I will use the | power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, |
W1:88.5 | God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them | power over me. I suffer only because of my belief in them. They have |

W1:102.2 | to realize that pain is purposeless, without a cause, and with no | power to accomplish anything. It cannot purchase anything at all. It |
W1:106.1 | salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in | power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in its messages. |
W1:108.3 | is the light which shows no opposites, and vision, being healed, has | power to heal. This is the light that brings your peace of mind to |
W1:109.2 | safety and the happiness you seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has | power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond |
W1:110.5 | The healing | power of today's idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all |

W1:123.6 | will bless your gifts by sharing them with you, and so they grow in | power and in strength until they fill the world with gladness and |

W1:127.3 | love is not. Love is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the | power holding everything as one, the link between the Father and the |
W1:130.10 | God will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing | Power Who will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor will |

W1:135.2 | of an inherent weakness, a belief that there is danger which has | power to call on you to make appropriate defense. |
W1:136.15 | Truth has a | power far beyond defense, for no illusions can remain where it has |
W1:137.2 | rest to suffer what the others do not feel. It gives the body final | power to make the separation real and keep the mind in solitary |
W1:137.3 | it life. But healing is accomplished as he sees the body has no | power to attack the universal oneness of God's Son. |
W1:151.14 | Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing | power from the Mind Which saw the truth in it and failed to be |

W1:159.5 | Christ's vision is the bridge between the worlds. And in its | power can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made |
W1:165.6 | journey's end made certain, and salvation given you. Now is Christ's | power in your mind to heal as you were healed. For now you are among |
W1:167.8 | of any kind, the thoughts of God remain forever changeless with the | power to extend forever changelessly but yet within Themselves, for |
W1:167.9 | When the mind elects to be what it is not and to assume an alien | power which it does not have, a foreign state it cannot enter, or a |

W1:188.6 | close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has | power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world and |

W1:190.5 | to make you ill or sad or weak or frail. But it is you who have the | power to dominate all things you see by merely recognizing what you |
W1:190.7 | may seem to cause you pain. And yet the world, as causeless, has no | power to cause. As an effect, it cannot make effects. As an illusion |
W1:190.10 | is given you to realize the lesson which contains all of salvation's | power. It is this: pain is illusion; joy reality. Pain is but sleep; |
W1:191.11 | dreams, born but to die, to weep, and suffer pain, hear this: all | power is given you in earth and Heaven. There is nothing that you |
W1:192.3 | Heaven-borne, it has no form at all. Yet God created One Who has the | power to translate into form the wholly formless. What He makes are |

W1:193.10 | which give you power over all events which seem to have been given | power over you. You see them rightly when you hold these words in |
W1:199.2 | time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and | power to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter such a |
W1:199.5 | period you take. There is no thought that will not gain thereby in | power to help the world, and none which will not gain in added gifts |
W1:199.6 | its goal, the body serves, and serves its purpose well. Without the | power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of the freedom which the |
W2:WS.2 | is split, there is a need of healing. So the thought which has the | power to heal the split became a part of every fragment of the mind |
W2:270.1 | Father, Christ's vision is Your gift to me, and it has | power to translate all that the body's eyes behold into the sight of |
W2:320.1 | and Heaven. I am he to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the | power of my Father's Will abides. |
W2:320.2 | world as well through me. There is no limit on Your Will. And so all | power has been given to Your Son. |
W2:WICR.2 | God's thoughts are given all the | power that Their own Creator has. For He would add to Love by its |
W2:WICR.2 | Thus His Son shares in creation and must therefore share in | power to create. What God has willed to be forever one will still be |
W2:326.1 | Let me know that I am an Effect of God, and so I have the | power to create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your |

M:21.3 | Herein lie hell and Heaven. The sleeping Son of God has but this | power left to him. It is enough. His words do not matter. Only the |
M:21.5 | behind their symbols. And He Himself gives to the words they use the | power of His Spirit, raising them from meaningless symbols to the |
M:22.6 | applicable to all individuals in all circumstances. And in it is the | power to heal all individuals of all forms of sickness. Not to |
M:22.7 | Who can limit the | power of God Himself? Who then can say who can be healed of what and |
M:22.7 | can say who can be healed of what and what must remain beyond God's | power to forgive? This is insanity indeed. It is not up to God's |
M:23.1 | A name does not heal, nor does an invocation call forth any special | power. What does it mean to call on Jesus Christ? What does calling |
M:23.2 | all living things as part of him. There is now no limit on his | power, because it is the Power of God. So has his name become the |
M:23.2 | part of him. There is now no limit on his power, because it is the | Power of God. So has his name become the name of God, for he no |
M:25.1 | powers, and it is obviously merely an appeal to magic to make up a | power that does not exist. It is equally obvious, however, that each |

M:29.4 | yet it is but a seeming paradox. As God created you, you have all | power. The image you made of yourself has none. The Holy Spirit knows |
M:29.5 | Who assumes a | power that he does not have is deceiving himself. Yet to accept the |
M:29.5 | power that he does not have is deceiving himself. Yet to accept the | power given him by God is but to acknowledge his Creator and accept |
M:29.6 | to you, He will respond with evil? Hardly! For God has given Him the | power to translate your prayers of the heart into His language. He |

C:9.45 | stems from your displacement of yourself and your abdication of your | power to the things that you have made. |

C:16.23 | to be who you are, and there is nothing in the world that has the | power to take this right from you. The only way you lose it is by |
C:16.24 | God wants no sacrifice from you, yet when you give away your | power you make of yourself a sacrificial lamb, an offering onto God |

C:16.24 | who you are and think it is just the way life is. You give away your | power and then bow down to those whom you have given it to, for you |

C:29.21 | Claiming your identity and your | power to make choices is an act that comes from an entirely different |
T1:3.9 | a miracle and it came to be, you would then have to contemplate your | power to perform miracles. Here you find your greatest fear of all; |
T1:3.9 | miracles. Here you find your greatest fear of all; fear of your | power. |
T1:3.11 | only would your passing of this test require you to contemplate your | power, but your failure would require you to contemplate your lack of |
T1:3.20 | such a fanciful idea as that of your being convinced of your own | power. How could this possibly be important? Even were you to possess |
T1:3.20 | How could this possibly be important? Even were you to possess such | power, surely it is a power that is of God and needs not you for its |
T1:3.20 | be important? Even were you to possess such power, surely it is a | power that is of God and needs not you for its accomplishment. Better |
T1:3.20 | such things. Even the thought of it leads you to ideas of magic and | power that is not of this world and thus that must have a dark side |
T1:4.11 | idea of responsibility sprang from the ego-mind that would usurp the | power of God. What kind of gift arrives with a demand for the |
T1:5.2 | two-fold fear that must be looked at carefully now and with all the | power of the art of thought. One aspect of this fear has to do with |
T1:6.5 | such as these emanate from either heart or mind and have not the | power of the wholehearted. Prayers such as these emanate from the |

T2:3.7 | you can express exist “within” you, in the creation that is you. The | power of creation is released through your choice, your willingness |
T2:4.9 | to conflict, an acceptance of ambiguity is a rejection of your | power. What is required to claim your power is the willingness to |
T2:4.9 | is a rejection of your power. What is required to claim your | power is the willingness to move through the conflict of two opposing |
T2:11.4 | given many names and many faces and the only thing given by you the | power to do battle with the truth, or with God. Remember now and |
T2:11.7 | understanding that all that is real is shared does the ego lose its | power. The ego was made from the belief in separation and all that |
T2:11.15 | have continue? Does this not but reveal to you a fraction of the | power of your thinking and its ability to shape the world you see? |
T2:12.2 | the false from the true, you were not able to receive the | power of miracles. |
T2:12.3 | The | power of miracles is but the culmination and the integration of the |
T2:12.7 | The | power of thought and the power of prayer, once aligned, call |
T2:12.7 | The power of thought and the | power of prayer, once aligned, call constantly upon the same power of |
T2:12.7 | and the power of prayer, once aligned, call constantly upon the same | power of intercession that is the miracle. This is why we also |
T3:7.2 | created you with a thought or idea, then you can begin to see the | power of thought. If you can believe that you created the ego with a |
T3:7.2 | you created the ego with a thought or an idea, you can see where the | power of thought is your power as well as God's. |

T3:8.1 | foundation. To work toward being a representation of such great | power is still a worthy goal and many of you have reached this power. |
T3:8.1 | great power is still a worthy goal and many of you have reached this | power. You can see why this power has been necessary and continues to |
T3:8.1 | goal and many of you have reached this power. You can see why this | power has been necessary and continues to be necessary. But to stop |
T3:8.1 | and continues to be necessary. But to stop at this dismantling | power is not enough. To stop at this dismantling power would be to |
T3:8.1 | at this dismantling power is not enough. To stop at this dismantling | power would be to leave the world in its present condition and your |
T3:11.12 | it can at times be a chosen heaven. Choice and the awareness of the | power of choice that exists within is all that differentiates one |
T3:21.24 | you are meant to give. Do not make any false plans that give your | power to others more learned of this Course than you to be the savior |
T4:2.16 | they are is present even though it might seem not to be? This is the | power of the devotion of the observant that you are called to, the |
T4:2.16 | power of the devotion of the observant that you are called to, the | power of cause and its effect. This is the power you now have within |
T4:2.16 | you are called to, the power of cause and its effect. This is the | power you now have within you, the power to observe the truth rather |
T4:2.16 | cause and its effect. This is the power you now have within you, the | power to observe the truth rather than illusion. This is the power to |
T4:2.16 | the power to observe the truth rather than illusion. This is the | power to observe what is. This is Christ-consciousness. |
T4:2.17 | I repeat, this is the | power to observe what is. It is not about observing a potential for |
T4:2.17 | way that has been shown to you. It is about observing what is. The | power to observe what is is what will keep you unified with your |
T4:2.17 | and sisters rather than separating you from them. There is no | power without this unity. You cannot see “others” as other than who |
T4:2.17 | You cannot see “others” as other than who they are and know your | power. You must see as I see and see that all are chosen. |
T4:2.21 | day is meant to be lived within a struggle with what it brings. The | power to observe what is relates to everything that exists with you, |
T4:4.4 | parent coming into his or her inheritance or time of fullness. The | power and prestige, the earthly wealth of the parent, passed |
T4:4.5 | of inheritance was an even stronger idea, an idea with much more | power than in current times. Inherent within the idea of inheritance |

T4:4.6 | life, death and resurrection revealed the power of inheritance, the | power of the Father, as one of life-giving union. I called you then |
T4:6.4 | you imagine, envision, desire, will be what you create. This is the | power of the devotion of the observant. A shared vision of unity and |

T4:12.16 | been called progress? Have not even the most devastating misuses of | power attained through this rebellion been seen retrospectively as |
T4:12.31 | to awareness of all they have inherited and all it is within their | power to create. |
T4:12.34 | new. Your former willingness to accept the old but kept creation's | power harnessed to the old. Does this not make perfect sense when you |
T4:12.36 | also make no mistake that what is given to us is everything. All the | power of creation is released onto us. Let us begin. |

D:2.22 | of unity. Within is where you find the power of creation, the | power to create the patterns of the new. Looking within is not an |
D:3.23 | you need in order to create the new is available within you. The | power of the universe is given and received constantly in support of |
D:3.23 | universe, the All of All, giving and receiving as one. This is our | power. And our power is needed for the creation of the Covenant of |
D:3.23 | All of All, giving and receiving as one. This is our power. And our | power is needed for the creation of the Covenant of the New in this |
D:4.5 | along with you. You remain at the mercy of those who would have | power over you, and you remain subject to the laws of man. |
D:15.13 | would be like trying to catch the wind. But just as the wind can | power many machines endlessly when it is allowed pass-through, so too |
D:17.7 | caused your arms to raise as if of their own accord. You feel the | power of giving and receiving as one, for this is what this gesture |
D:17.12 | That response is wholehearted desire, which is the | power that A Course of Love came to return to you. You were told |
D:Day1.11 | Many people now are discovering the | power of healing. Some think this power comes from one source and |
D:Day1.11 | Many people now are discovering the power of healing. Some think this | power comes from one source and some from another. You may think |
D:Day1.11 | one source and some from another. You may think that, as long as the | power is called forth, it matters not the name by which it is called. |
D:Day1.11 | many choices. You may think these choices matter not, but only the | power of the healer. Some of you may see this example as an example |
D:Day1.11 | not need to accept me. You may claim that you understand that this | power is of God, whether it be the power of granting life to grow |
D:Day1.11 | that you understand that this power is of God, whether it be the | power of granting life to grow within the womb, or the power of |
D:Day1.11 | it be the power of granting life to grow within the womb, or the | power of giving new life to a limb withered or broken. You may wonder |
D:Day1.11 | withered or broken. You may wonder why it should matter whether this | power be called Buddha or Allah, Muhammad or God. |
D:Day1.12 | It matters not. The | power of God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our power |
D:Day1.12 | not. The power of God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our | power that is being spoken of here. The power of the god man. The |
D:Day1.12 | spoken of here. It is our power that is being spoken of here. The | power of the god man. The power of God brought into form. The power |
D:Day1.12 | power that is being spoken of here. The power of the god man. The | power of God brought into form. The power of who we are rather than |
D:Day1.12 | The power of the god man. The power of God brought into form. The | power of who we are rather than the power of who God is. |
D:Day1.12 | of God brought into form. The power of who we are rather than the | power of who God is. |
D:Day2.23 | my brothers and sisters, with the bringing of light to darkness, | power to the powerless, health to the sick, life to the dead. My life |
D:Day3.19 | you understand, as do those for whom this dialogue is meant, the | power of this aspect of your brothers and sisters lives, and the |
D:Day3.19 | the power of this aspect of your brothers and sisters lives, and the | power and function of anger. |
D:Day3.20 | The | power of money to affect you is a power that is denied, rarely |
D:Day3.20 | The power of money to affect you is a | power that is denied, rarely acknowledged, seldom spoken of. Think |
D:Day8.8 | All | power to effect change comes from acceptance—not acceptance of the |
D:Day8.24 | Let me repeat a passage from that Treatise here, a passage about the | power to observe what is. “It is not about observing a potential for |
D:Day8.24 | way that has been shown to you. It is about observing what is. The | power to observe what is, is what will keep you unified with your |
D:Day8.24 | and sisters rather than separating you from them. There is no | power without this unity. You cannot see ‘others’ as other than who |
D:Day8.24 | You cannot see ‘others’ as other than who they are and know your | power.” |
D:Day9.20 | If you do not realize your freedom, you will not realize your | power. |
D:Day9.33 | be your confidence. Only these combined abilities will release your | power. |
D:Day10.1 | | Power is the ability to be cause and effect. It is the ability to |
D:Day10.1 | cause and effect. It is the ability to harness the cause and effect | power of love. It is a quality of form as well as a quality of union. |
D:Day10.1 | well as a quality of union. Form is the ultimate expression of the | power of creation. The power of creation, harnessed by form in the |
D:Day10.1 | union. Form is the ultimate expression of the power of creation. The | power of creation, harnessed by form in the service of form is the |
D:Day10.1 | form in the service of form is the next step in the expansion of the | power of creation. It is the power of the elevated Self of form. |
D:Day10.1 | the next step in the expansion of the power of creation. It is the | power of the elevated Self of form. |
D:Day10.2 | the confidence of the self of form? Certainty is knowing that this | power exists. Confidence is the expression of your reliance upon it. |
D:Day10.2 | is the expression of your reliance upon it. To rely on your own | power is to rely on the connection that exists between the self of |
D:Day10.24 | for it is a key to your understanding of your Self and your | power. This dialogue, as one-sided as it may seem when presented in |
D:Day10.31 | love. 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 |
D:Day10.31 | because any of you are powerless but because you do not know your | power. If there is one thing associated with my life more so than any |
D:Day10.31 | than any other, it was this. I was an advocate for all to know their | power. Do you think that my advocacy was a social statement for the |
D:Day10.32 | that I called for during my life. It is the call to embrace your | power. |
D:Day10.33 | they lead you, remember one thing only. Remember to embrace your | power. The power of love is the cause and effect that will change the |
D:Day10.33 | you, remember one thing only. Remember to embrace your power. The | power of love is the cause and effect that will change the world by |
D:Day10.34 | The | power you must come to rely upon is the power of your own Self to |
D:Day10.34 | The power you must come to rely upon is the | power of your own Self to create and express the cause and effect |
D:Day10.34 | your own Self to create and express the cause and effect that is the | power of love. |
D:Day10.35 | might—has been shown to be unfounded, a new source of reliable | power is finally sought with the tenacity with which these other |
D:Day10.35 | sought with the tenacity with which these other sources of seeming | power have been sought. This is what has occurred. This is the time |
D:Day10.37 | them along with you. You are means and end. It is within your | power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that your power |
D:Day10.37 | your power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that your | power will save the world. |
D:Day10.38 | anything, your happiness, your peace, and your acceptance of the | power that will cause these things to come to be. Yet I know you and |
D:Day14.6 | have called your “own,” you are now given the task of claiming your | power as your own. All that is within your power is within your |
D:Day14.6 | the task of claiming your power as your own. All that is within your | power is within your power. Your power is the power of the many and |
D:Day14.6 | your power as your own. All that is within your power is within your | power. Your power is the power of the many and the one that exist in |
D:Day14.6 | your own. All that is within your power is within your power. Your | power is the power of the many and the one that exist in wholeness |
D:Day14.6 | that is within your power is within your power. Your power is the | power of the many and the one that exist in wholeness within the |
D:Day14.13 | You must now own this dialogue—own it as you own the | power that is yours. This one voice of the many will continue to |
D:Day15.10 | This is the new realm of | power that few in physical form have practiced and that has never |
D:Day15.10 | spacious Self in oneness and wholeness must precede this step. This | power cannot be misused because it is unavailable to those who have |
D:Day15.11 | state for full-scale interaction with the world. Although this | power cannot be misused, to have access to this power in one instance |
D:Day15.11 | world. Although this power cannot be misused, to have access to this | power in one instance and not another as you move in and out of the |
D:Day15.13 | be generated by the joining of spacious Selves? Do you fear your | power even though you have been told it cannot be misused? Do you |
D:Day17.8 | given components are necessary for wholeness. Representation of the | power of Christ-consciousness in human form was necessary to complete |
D:Day18.5 | light. Those who accept completion of the way of Jesus accept their | power to be generators of light in darkness without judging or |
D:Day18.5 | in darkness without judging or expelling darkness. They accept their | power to represent both the known and the unknown and to reveal the |
D:Day19.5 | to live as who they are within the world. Until they realize the | power of reflection, they wonder why they, unlike their brothers and |
D:Day20.9 | of the One Self can be made known, then you are the source and the | power of coming to know and making known. |
D:Day24.3 | Potential is that which exists. It exists as the | power and energy, the spirit within you. It does not await. It simply |
D:Day24.3 | you. It does not await. It simply is. It can remain as the untapped | power of transformation, or it can be released. The choice is and is |
D:Day24.3 | or it can be released. The choice is and is not yours. This | power is a force of nature that exists, not separately from you, but |
D:Day24.8 | of all the potential that exists. An activated will releases the | power that is potential. Remember potential is that which exists, |
D:Day24.9 | within you. This merging of will and potential is the birth of your | power and the birth of the new. |
D:Day26.1 | It has been said that you are the source and the | power of coming to know and making known. It naturally follows, then, |
D:Day28.18 | the experience of separation possible, and experience is where the | power of transformation lies. This transformation will, however, take |
D:Day29.1 | joy and sadness, sickness and health, all cease to have the limited | power that all such concepts have formerly held. When they cease to |
D:Day29.3 | and relearned or remembered wholehearted desire—the source of your | power. Now this power is available to assist you in accomplishing the |
D:Day29.3 | remembered wholehearted desire—the source of your power. Now this | power is available to assist you in accomplishing the final joining, |
D:Day32.13 | believe differentiates God from man. The example lives in which the | power of God was demonstrated in the lives of men and women are seen |
D:Day32.13 | are seen as little more than pass-through situations in which the | power of God passed through men and women to other men and women. |
D:Day32.19 | the same? Would this answer your questions concerning God's great | power when compared to your own? Could you see that God's power stems |
D:Day32.19 | great power when compared to your own? Could you see that God's | power stems from His relationship to everything rather than from His |
D:Day32.19 | This is the easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. Being is | power. But being, like oneness, cannot know itself without |
D:Day32.20 | God is the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the | power of God's being but you are powerful only as God is powerful— |
D:Day32.20 | Because you are in a state of limited relationship, you have limited | power. This is the difference between God and man. This difference, |
D:Day33.1 | As we begin to speak of | power, we must return to the initial idea put forth in “A Treatise on |
D:Day33.1 | on the New”: That all are chosen. To embrace an idea of some having | power while others remain powerless is to embrace an idea laden with |
D:Day33.1 | remain powerless is to embrace an idea laden with conflict. The | power of God exists within everyone because all are one in being with |
D:Day33.1 | within everyone because all are one in being with God. And yet this | power cannot be used. It can only serve. What does it serve? The |
D:Day33.12 | Being is | power. Relationship is powerful. In other words, relationship is the |
D:Day33.12 | is powerful. In other words, relationship is the expression of | power—all the different expressions of power. In the time of Jesus, |
D:Day33.12 | is the expression of power—all the different expressions of | power. In the time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as being blessed |
D:Day33.12 | since all are powerful only in relationship, your relationship to | power must be realized. Those who are powerful have realized their |
D:Day33.12 | realized. Those who are powerful have realized their relationship to | power. Those who see themselves as powerless have not realized their |
D:Day33.12 | see themselves as powerless have not realized their relationship to | power. They have not made it real and so it has not served them. |
D:Day33.13 | no one can exist outside of relationship and relationship is where | power is expressed, everyone does have a relationship with power. |
D:Day33.13 | is where power is expressed, everyone does have a relationship with | power. Power is one in being with each and every one of us. Every |
D:Day33.13 | power is expressed, everyone does have a relationship with power. | Power is one in being with each and every one of us. Every single |
D:Day33.13 | and every one of us. Every single individual has within them the | power to affect, change, or recreate the world. Every single |
D:Day33.13 | single individual does so to the extent to which they realize their | power. A baby realizes the power of its cry within moments of being |
D:Day33.13 | to the extent to which they realize their power. A baby realizes the | power of its cry within moments of being born. Many a teenager |
D:Day33.13 | of being born. Many a teenager develops full realization of the | power of their independence. In other words, you each have claimed |
D:Day33.13 | independence. In other words, you each have claimed some type of | power for yourself, some means of exerting that power, which is the |
D:Day33.13 | claimed some type of power for yourself, some means of exerting that | power, which is the same as saying some means of individuating the |
D:Day33.14 | This is the | power of being. The power to individuate the Self. The power to be |
D:Day33.14 | This is the power of being. The | power to individuate the Self. The power to be who you are. This is |
D:Day33.14 | This is the power of being. The power to individuate the Self. The | power to be who you are. This is power and the source of power. This |
D:Day33.14 | power to individuate the Self. The power to be who you are. This is | power and the source of power. This is the force of creation, the |
D:Day33.14 | Self. The power to be who you are. This is power and the source of | power. This is the force of creation, the only true power. |
D:Day33.14 | the source of power. This is the force of creation, the only true | power. |
D:Day33.15 | But again, despite that we each hold the | power of creation within us, it is only in relationship that it is |
D:Day33.15 | and everyone all of the time, is to realize the full extent of your | power. You cannot realize that you are in relationship with |
D:Day33.15 | and everyone all of the time and retain the desire to use your | power. This is impossible. The realization that you are in |
D:Day34.1 | | Power is of creation, not of destruction. Yet creation and |
D:Day34.7 | If you do not make real your | power, you will experience yourself as powerless. If you experience |
D:Day34.7 | If you experience your being as powerless, you are negating the | power of God who is one in being with you. |
D:Day34.8 | close of our time together by asking each other to experience our | power—the power of sameness of being. Are you willing to experience |
D:Day34.8 | our time together by asking each other to experience our power—the | power of sameness of being. Are you willing to experience the power |
D:Day34.8 | —the power of sameness of being. Are you willing to experience the | power of God? To let it flow through you? Realize how many have said |
D:Day34.8 | many have said no to this request. Realize the importance and the | power of your willingness to say yes. |
D:Day35.6 | said before, the mountain came to you. You will thus always have the | power to call upon the mountain top experience and the view of |
D:Day35.6 | here. You will carry it within you, and when you feel not its | power, you will be able to call it forth simply by asking for it to |
D:Day35.11 | knowing you are one in being with your Creator and accepting your | power to create. You return to create unity and relationship, through |
D:Day35.12 | only be created. To proceed relying upon anything other than your | power to create would be to only attempt to repair or replace. |
D:Day35.18 | you have made and what you can create when you have accepted your | power and begin to create in unity and relationship. |
D:Day35.19 | between made and create thus does not fully do justice to the | power you have always retained. But creating in separation is as |
D:Day36.1 | The exercise of your | power is in the creation of your experience. |
D:Day36.4 | Powerlessness is moving through life as a being without the | power to create. |
D:Day36.7 | Creator and creation are one. You are one in being with the | power of creation and different in your relationship to and |
D:Day36.7 | and different in your relationship to and expression of that | power. |
D:Day36.9 | that giving and receiving are one and that both are within your | power. This is starting over with the realization that you can give |
D:Day36.10 | a separate God or created by your separate self. You experienced the | power of being because you were a being who existed, but you did not |
D:Day36.12 | relationship to God, and thus existence without relationship to the | power of creation. The illusion is an illusion of simply being. Is |
D:Day36.14 | Because you have always been one in being with God, this | power—this power of being—has always been yours. The power to |
D:Day36.14 | Because you have always been one in being with God, this power—this | power of being—has always been yours. The power to feel—love, |
D:Day36.14 | God, this power—this power of being—has always been yours. The | power to feel—love, hate, anger, compassion, greed, humility, and |
D:Day36.14 | greed, humility, and longing—has always been yours. The | power to think—rationally or passionately, logically or |
D:Day36.14 | logically or instinctively—has always been yours. The | power to create—everything from weapons of mass destruction to |
D:Day36.14 | to cathedrals of towering majesty—has always been yours. The | power to know or perceive—even an unreal reality—has always been |
D:Day36.16 | one in being with God and different in relationship you accept the | power of being, or individuating God. You accept the power of God. |
D:Day36.16 | you accept the power of being, or individuating God. You accept the | power of God. You become powerful. |
D:Day37.13 | it is not being said that either you or God are “a” being) you have | power—the power of being which is the power of thought, feeling, |
D:Day37.13 | said that either you or God are “a” being) you have power—the | power of being which is the power of thought, feeling, creating, and |
D:Day37.13 | God are “a” being) you have power—the power of being which is the | power of thought, feeling, creating, and perceiving or knowing. |
D:Day37.14 | You have known that | power only in relationship to the separate reality in which you |
D:Day37.14 | in which you believe yourself to exist. You have exercised that | power by making choices as and for your separate self, at times in |
D:Day37.14 | on a limited scale. You have often not exercised even this limited | power, believing that life just “happens” to you, and then responding |
D:Day37.22 | by Jesus Christ, was also created by Jesus Christ. Thus is the | power of man and God together, the power of creation. What this is |
D:Day37.22 | by Jesus Christ. Thus is the power of man and God together, the | power of creation. What this is saying is that there is a God the |
D:Day40.9 | now, and the individuation that will occur now, will hold all the | power of your experience as well as all the power of your longing for |
D:Day40.9 | now, will hold all the power of your experience as well as all the | power of your longing for return. This will be a great power that you |

Tx:15.21 | weakness that will depart from you in this practice, for it is the | practice of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and |
Tx:15.36 | Your | practice must therefore rest upon your willingness to let all |
Tx:15.38 | claim the holy instant any time and anywhere you want it. In your | practice, try to give over every plan you have accepted for finding |
Tx:15.44 | In your | practice, then, try only to be vigilant against deception and seek |
Tx:18.68 | made for you. Save time for me by only this one preparation and | practice, doing nothing else. “I need do nothing” is a statement of |
Tx:30.1 | can be reached depends on this one thing alone—your willingness to | practice every step. Each one will help a little every time it is |
Tx:30.1 | more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we need to | practice them awhile, until they are the rules by which you live. We |
Tx:30.2 | You do not always know when you are making them. But with a little | practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form which sees |
Tx:30.28 | day if you prevent unhappiness from entering at all. But this takes | practice in the rules which will protect you from the ravages of |
Tx:31.3 | carefully you have learned it, and the pains to which you went to | practice and repeat the lessons endlessly in every form you could |
W1:I.4 | how to see. The only rule that should be followed throughout is to | practice the exercises with great specificity. Each one applies to |
W1:1.1 | Now look slowly around you, and | practice applying this idea very specifically to whatever you see: |
W1:1.5 | The statement is merely applied to anything you see. As you | practice applying the idea for the day, use it totally |
W1:4.1 | these exercises do not begin with the idea for the day. In these | practice periods, begin with noting the thoughts that are crossing |
W1:4.5 | idea for a particular thought which you recognize as harmful. This | practice is useful, but is not a substitute for the more random |
W1:5.4 | But again, this should not be substituted for | practice periods in which you first search your mind for “sources” of |
W1:6.3 | used throughout the day for that purpose. However, the three or four | practice periods which are required should be preceded by a minute or |
W1:8.4 | figure or theme it contains, and pass on to the next. Introduce the | practice period by saying: |
W1:9.1 | for undoing your false ideas. These exercises are concerned with | practice, not with understanding. You do not need to practice what |
W1:9.1 | concerned with practice, not with understanding. You do not need to | practice what you really understand. It would indeed be circular to |
W1:9.3 | These exercises, for which three or four | practice periods are sufficient, involve looking about you and |
W1:10.1 | to all the thoughts of which you are aware or become aware in the | practice periods. The reason the idea is applicable to all of them is |
W1:10.8 | for any thought that distresses you at any time. In addition, five | practice periods are recommended, each involving no more than a |
W1:11.1 | that your thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to | practice the idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your |
W1:11.2 | The | practice periods for today's idea are to be undertaken somewhat |
W1:11.4 | Three | practice periods today will probably be sufficient. However, if there |
W1:12.6 | exercises, there is no difference between them. At the end of the | practice period, add: |
W1:12.9 | times are enough for practicing the idea for today. Nor should the | practice periods exceed a minute. You may find even this too long. |
W1:14.2 | should be short, a minute at most. Do not have more than three | practice periods with today's idea unless you find them comfortable. |
W1:14.7 | it has no meaning. In recognition of this fact, conclude the | practice periods by repeating today's idea: |
W1:14.9 | applied to anything that disturbs you during the day, aside from the | practice periods. Be very specific in applying it. Say: |
W1:15.7 | to apply the idea to very many things during the minute or so of | practice that is recommended, try to make the selection as random as |
W1:15.7 | selection as random as possible. Less than a minute will do for the | practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy. Do not have more than |
W1:16.3 | them all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We will | practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it. |
W1:16.5 | In the | practice periods, first repeat the idea, and then as each one crosses |
W1:16.9 | Four or five | practice periods are recommended if you find them relatively |
W1:17.9 | Three or four specific | practice periods are recommended and no less than three are required |
W1:17.9 | if you experience resistance. However, if you do, the length of the | practice period may be reduced to less than the minute or so which is |
W1:18.2 | will emphasize this aspect of your perception. The three or four | practice periods which are recommended should be done as follows: |
W1:18.5 | Conclude the | practice period by repeating the more general statement: |
W1:19.5 | as much indiscriminateness as possible in selecting subjects for the | practice period should be quite familiar to you by now and will no |
W1:19.5 | Do not forget, however, that random selection of subjects for all | practice periods remains essential throughout. Lack of order in this |
W1:19.6 | from the “as needed” application of today's idea, at least three | practice periods are required, shortening the length of time involved |
W1:20.1 | We have been quite casual about our | practice periods thus far. There has been virtually no attempt to |
W1:21.1 | to applying the idea to particular situations as they arise. Five | practice periods are urged, allowing a full minute for each. |
W1:21.2 | In the | practice periods, begin by repeating the idea to yourself. Then close |
W1:21.3 | not to let the “little” thoughts of anger escape you in the | practice periods. Remember that you do not really recognize what |
W1:22.5 | At the end of each | practice period, ask yourself: |
W1:23.6 | Besides using it throughout the day as the need arises, five | practice periods are required in applying today's idea. As you look |
W1:23.9 | In the | practice periods, be sure to include both your thoughts of attacking |
W1:23.9 | you are asked at this time only to treat them as the same in today's | practice periods. We are still at the stage of identifying the cause |
W1:24.3 | few subjects, honestly and carefully considered in each of the five | practice periods which should be undertaken today, will be more |
W1:24.4 | The | practice periods begin with repeating today's idea, followed by |
W1:25.6 | Six | practice periods, each of two minutes duration, are required. Each |
W1:25.6 | practice periods, each of two minutes duration, are required. Each | practice period should begin with a slow repetition of the idea for |
W1:26.4 | | Practice with today's idea will help you to understand that |
W1:26.5 | Six | practice periods are required in applying today's idea. A full two |
W1:26.6 | The | practice period should begin with repeating the idea for today, then |
W1:26.6 | suitable subject. You will not be able to use very many for any one | practice period, because a longer time than usual should be spent |
W1:26.15 | Conclude each | practice period by repeating today's idea once more. |
W1:28.1 | giving specific application to the idea for yesterday. In these | practice periods, you will be making a series of definite |
W1:28.6 | be making this same request of each subject which you use in the | practice periods. And you are making a commitment to each of them to |
W1:28.7 | We will have six two minute | practice periods today in which the idea for the day is stated first |
W1:29.4 | Our six two-minute | practice periods for today should follow a now familiar pattern: |
W1:29.7 | In addition to the assigned | practice periods, repeat the idea for today at least once an hour, |
W1:30.5 | you to become more accustomed to this idea as well, devote several | practice periods to applying today's idea with your eyes closed, |
W1:31.1 | world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of | practice which will be used more and more, with changes as indicated. |
W1:31.2 | Two longer periods of | practice with the idea for today are needed, one in the morning and |
W1:32.2 | are actually the same. However, since you see them as different, the | practice periods for today will again include two phases, one |
W1:32.3 | Again we will begin the | practice periods for the morning and evening by repeating the idea |
W1:32.4 | For the two longer | practice periods, three to five minutes are recommended, with not |
W1:33.2 | In these | practice periods, the idea should be repeated as often as you find |
W1:34.2 | Three longer | practice periods are required for today's exercises. One in the |
W1:34.3 | five minutes of mind searching are required for each of the longer | practice periods. Search your mind for fear thoughts, anxiety |
W1:35.4 | For each of the three five-minute | practice periods today, begin by repeating today's idea to yourself |
W1:36.2 | Four three- to five-minute | practice periods are required for today. Try to distribute them |
W1:36.2 | frequently to protect your protection throughout the day. The longer | practice periods should take this form: |
W1:36.5 | Several times during these | practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. |
W1:37.4 | longer exercise periods, each to involve three to five minutes of | practice, begin with the repetition of the idea for today followed by |
W1:37.8 | You may continue the | practice period with your eyes closed; you may open your eyes again |
W1:37.8 | combination of these two phases of application which you prefer. The | practice period should conclude with a repetition of the idea with |
W1:38.4 | In the four longer | practice periods, each preferably to last a full five minutes, repeat |
W1:39.2 | the text is, and you would not need a workbook at all. No one needs | practice to gain what is already his. |
W1:39.5 | A full five minutes are urged for the four longer | practice periods for today. Longer and more frequent practice |
W1:39.5 | the four longer practice periods for today. Longer and more frequent | practice sessions are encouraged. If you want to exceed the minimum |
W1:39.6 | Begin the | practice periods as usual by repeating today's idea to yourself. Then |
W1:39.11 | Meanwhile, you should feel free to introduce variety into your | practice periods in whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however, |
W1:39.12 | End each | practice period by repeating the idea in its original form once more, |
W1:40.1 | happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are. No long | practice periods are required today, but very frequent short ones are |
W1:40.2 | day when closing your eyes would not be appropriate. Do not miss a | practice period because of this. You can practice quite well under |
W1:40.2 | appropriate. Do not miss a practice period because of this. You can | practice quite well under almost any circumstance, if you really want |
W1:40.3 | associate with being a Son of God, applying them to yourself. One | practice period might, for example, consist of the following: |
W1:41.5 | There will be only one long | practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if |
W1:41.5 | three to five minutes with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the | practice period, repeat today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort |
W1:41.7 | We will go into more detail in connection with this kind of | practice as we go along. But it will never fail completely, and |
W1:42.4 | Begin the | practice period by repeating the idea for today slowly with eyes |
W1:42.8 | thoughts come. If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the | practice period alternating between slow repetitions of the idea with |
W1:42.9 | There is no limit on the number of short | practice periods which would be most beneficial. The idea for the day |
W1:43.4 | Three five-minute | practice periods are required today, one as early as possible and |
W1:43.5 | At the beginning of these | practice periods, repeat the idea to yourself with eyes open. Then |
W1:43.12 | In applying today's idea in the shorter | practice periods, the form may vary according to the circumstances |
W1:44.3 | attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we will use a form of | practice which has been suggested before and which we will utilize |
W1:44.4 | Have at least three | practice periods today, each lasting three to five minutes. A longer |
W1:44.5 | encounter strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While you | practice in this form, you leave behind everything that you now |
W1:44.7 | Begin the | practice period by repeating today's idea with your eyes open and |
W1:45.4 | Our three five-minute | practice periods for today will take the same general form that we |
W1:45.11 | For this kind of | practice, only one thing is necessary—approach it as you would an |
W1:46.3 | Today's exercises require at least three full five-minute | practice periods and as many shorter applications as possible. Begin |
W1:46.3 | and as many shorter applications as possible. Begin the longer | practice periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as usual. |
W1:46.6 | The purpose of the first phase of today's | practice is to put you in the best position to forgive yourself. |
W1:46.8 | Then devote the remainder of the | practice period to adding related ideas such as: |
W1:46.12 | The | practice period should end, however, with a repetition of today's |
W1:47.4 | your own weakness to the Source of real strength. Four five-minute | practice periods are necessary today, and longer and more frequent |
W1:47.8 | In the latter phase of the | practice period, try to reach down into your mind to a place of real |
W1:48.2 | Today's | practice periods will be very short, very simple, and very frequent. |
W1:49.3 | We will need at least four five-minute | practice periods today and more if possible. We will try actually to |
W1:R1.1 | each of the ideas, which you should consider in your review. In the | practice periods, the exercises should be done as follows: |
W1:R1.2 | be practiced at least once. Devote two minutes or more to each | practice period, thinking about the idea and the related comments. Do |
W1:R1.3 | the comments that follow each idea literally or thoroughly in the | practice periods. Rather, try merely to emphasize the central point |
W1:61.5 | As many | practice periods as possible should be undertaken today, although |
W1:61.8 | Be sure both to begin and end the day with a | practice period. Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the |
W1:61.8 | as you reaffirm your function and your only purpose here. These two | practice periods may be longer than the rest if you find them helpful |
W1:64.7 | Today, then, let us | practice with these thoughts: |
W1:64.11 | Two forms of shorter | practice periods are required. At times, do the exercises with your |
W1:65.2 | of days to follow, set aside ten to 15 minutes for a more sustained | practice period in which you try to understand and accept what |
W1:65.3 | Try, if possible, to undertake the daily extended | practice periods at approximately the same time each day. Try, also, |
W1:65.5 | For this longer | practice period, begin by reviewing the idea for today. Then close |
W1:65.11 | repeat the idea for today once more and devote the rest of the | practice period to trying to focus on its importance to you, the |
W1:65.12 | In the shorter | practice periods, which should be undertaken at least once an hour, |
W1:65.14 | Sometimes close your eyes as you | practice, and sometimes keep them open and look about you. It is what |
W1:66.4 | Our longer | practice period today has as its purpose your acceptance of the fact |
W1:66.5 | Begin the ten- to fifteen-minute | practice period by reviewing these thoughts: |
W1:66.11 | Think about this during the longer | practice period today. Think also about the many forms which the |
W1:66.14 | In the shorter | practice periods, which would be most helpful today if undertaken |
W1:67.2 | fully, if only for a moment, that it is the truth. In the longer | practice period, we will think about your reality and its wholly |
W1:67.7 | It will be particularly helpful today to | practice the idea for today as often as you can. You need to hear the |
W1:67.8 | Try to realize in the shorter | practice periods that this is not your tiny solitary voice that tells |
W1:68.6 | Begin today's extended | practice period by searching your mind for those against whom you |
W1:68.9 | Spend the remainder of the | practice period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace |
W1:68.9 | briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. At the end of the | practice period tell yourself: |
W1:68.11 | The short | practice periods should include a quick application of today's idea |
W1:69.2 | the light in you. Before we undertake this in our more extended | practice period, let us devote several minutes in thinking about what |
W1:69.3 | Let us begin our longer | practice period today with the full realization of all this and real |
W1:69.9 | In the shorter | practice periods, which you will want to do as often as possible in |
W1:70.5 | did not occur; God's purpose was to ensure that it did. Today we | practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the same in |
W1:70.7 | We are ready for two longer | practice periods today, each of which should last some ten to 15 |
W1:70.7 | still let you decide when to undertake them. We will follow this | practice for a number of lessons, and it would again be well to |
W1:70.8 | Begin these | practice periods by repeating the idea for today, adding a statement |
W1:70.14 | For the short and frequent | practice periods today, remind yourself that your salvation comes |
W1:71.8 | Let us | practice recognizing this certainty today. And let us rejoice that |
W1:71.9 | Begin the two longer | practice periods for today by thinking about today's idea, and |
W1:71.10 | Remembering this, let us devote the remainder of the extended | practice periods to asking God to reveal His plan to us. Ask Him very |
W1:71.12 | Give Him full charge of the rest of the | practice period, and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in |
W1:71.13 | In the shorter | practice periods tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, |
W1:72.11 | Our goal in the longer | practice periods today is to become aware that God's plan for |
W1:72.18 | One or perhaps two shorter | practice periods an hour will be enough for today since they will be |
W1:73.10 | We will begin our longer | practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for salvation, |
W1:73.14 | with the power of God and united with your Self. Put the rest of the | practice period under Their guidance. Join with Them as They lead the |
W1:73.15 | In the shorter | practice periods, again make a declaration of what you really want. |
W1:74.3 | Begin the longer | practice periods by repeating these thoughts several times, slowly |
W1:75.4 | Our longer | practice periods will be devoted to looking at the world which our |
W1:75.5 | it we see Heaven's reflection lie across the world. Begin the longer | practice periods by telling yourself the glad tidings of your release: |
W1:75.11 | The shorter | practice periods, too, will be joyful reminders of your release. |
W1:76.8 | We will begin the longer | practice period today with a short review of the different kinds of |
W1:76.12 | God's. Then we will tell ourselves as a dedication with which the | practice period concludes: |
W1:77.4 | Begin the longer | practice periods by telling yourself quite confidently that you are |
W1:77.7 | Our shorter | practice periods will be frequent and will also be devoted to a |
W1:78.7 | Our longer | practice periods today will see him in this role. We will attempt to |
W1:79.7 | In our longer | practice periods today, we will ask what the problem is and what is |
W1:79.9 | The shorter | practice periods for today will not be set by time but by need. You |
W1:80.4 | In our longer | practice periods today, we will claim the peace that must be ours |
W1:R2.1 | one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in which we | practice each of them. |
W1:R2.2 | The longer | practice periods will follow this general form: take about 15 minutes |
W1:R2.2 | you find your mind wandering, but try to spend the major part of the | practice period listening quietly but attentively. |
W1:R2.4 | Regard these | practice periods as dedications to the way, the truth, and the life. |
W1:R2.5 | Reaffirm your determination in the shorter | practice periods as well, using the original form of the idea for |
W1:91.6 | Begin the longer | practice periods with this statement of true cause and effect |
W1:91.13 | Relax for the rest of the | practice period, confident that your efforts, however meager, are |
W1:91.13 | you will feel the strength in you. They are united with you in this | practice period in which you share a purpose like Their own. Theirs |
W1:92.10 | given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will | practice seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes and asking |
W1:92.11 | Morning and evening we will | practice thus. After the morning meeting, we will use the day in |
W1:93.10 | Then put away your foolish self-images and spend the rest of the | practice period in trying to experience what God has given you in |
W1:95.5 | Frequent but shorter | practice periods have other advantages for you at this time. In |
W1:95.6 | of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of | practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose |
W1:95.7 | We will therefore keep to the five minutes an hour | practice periods for a while and urge you to omit as few as possible. |
W1:95.12 | in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true. Begin the | practice periods today with this assurance, given to your mind with |
W1:97.1 | to weave opposing factors into unity. It simply states the truth. | Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it will bring your |
W1:97.3 | we try to bring reality still closer to your mind. Each time you | practice, awareness is brought a little nearer at least; sometimes a |
W1:97.11 | Offer each | practice period today gladly to Him. And He will speak to you, |
W1:98.8 | you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean. Today you | practice with Him as you say: |
W1:98.11 | that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He will be with you each | practice period you share with Him, exchanging every instant of the |
W1:99.9 | You who will yet work miracles, be sure you | practice well the idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in |
W1:99.11 | | Practice His thought today, and let His Light seek out and lighten up |
W1:99.12 | Think of these things in practicing today, and start your longer | practice periods with this instruction in the way of truth: |
W1:100.7 | face. We will prepare ourselves for this today in our five minute | practice periods by feeling happiness arise in us according to our |
W1:100.11 | Do not forget the idea for today between your longer | practice periods. It is your Self Who calls to you today. And it is |
W1:101.5 | You need the | practice periods today. The exercises teach sin is not real, and all |
W1:101.6 | There is no sin. We | practice with this thought as often as we can today because it is the |
W1:101.9 | So should you start your | practice periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these |
W1:102.3 | For several days we will continue to devote our longer | practice periods to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness |
W1:102.4 | Begin the longer | practice periods today with this acceptance of God's Will for you: |
W1:104.4 | Our longer | practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given truth for your |
W1:105.7 | Today our | practice periods will start a little differently. Begin today by |
W1:106.8 | Today we | practice giving, not the way you understand it now, but as it is. |
W1:107.9 | Today we | practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born of truth. |
W1:108.7 | Today we | practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We will use |
W1:108.8 | So we begin the | practice periods with the instruction for today and say: |
W1:110.5 | the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. | Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to |
W1:110.6 | For your five minute | practice periods, begin with this quotation from the text: |
W1:R3.1 | have reviewed them all. We will observe a special format for these | practice periods, which you are urged to follow just as closely as |
W1:R3.2 | Learning will not be hampered when you miss a | practice period because it is impossible at the appointed time. Nor |
W1:R3.3 | But learning will be hampered when you skip a | practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it |
W1:R3.4 | Those | practice periods which you have lost because you did not want to do |
W1:R3.4 | hold more dear. When you withdraw the value given them, allow your | practice periods to be replacements for your litanies to them. They |
W1:R3.9 | and perhaps of even greater value. You have been inclined to | practice only at appointed times and then go on your way to other |
W1:R3.10 | the need to let your learning not lie idly by between your longer | practice periods. Attempt to give your daily two ideas a brief but |
W1:R3.11 | the day as well. If you are shaken, think of it again. These | practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying |
W1:121.8 | of the Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you. Today we | practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can learn today |
W1:121.10 | Begin the longer | practice periods by thinking of someone you do not like, who seems to |
W1:122.11 | Sink into happiness as you begin these | practice periods, for they hold out the sure rewards of questions |
W1:126.8 | 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. |
W1:127.6 | Today we | practice making free our minds of all the laws you think you must |
W1:128.5 | Today we | practice letting go all thought of values we have given to the world. |
W1:129.7 | | Practice your willingness to make this change ten minutes in the |
W1:131.12 | This we acknowledge as we start upon our | practice periods. Begin with this: |
W1:132.16 | Begin the 15 minute periods in which we | practice twice today with this: |
W1:133.15 | Our two extended | practice periods of 15 minutes will begin with this: |
W1:134.14 | Today we | practice true forgiveness that the time of joining be no more |
W1:136.15 | with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you will choose to | practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim today. And we |
W1:137.9 | gentle lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours, how little | practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you made |
W1:R4.6 | the sun, the silver of the moon on it by night. So do we start each | practice period in this review with readying our minds to understand |
W1:R4.11 | and spend a quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two ideas you | practice for the day unhurriedly, with time enough to see the gifts |
W1:R4.12 | pain to peace, from sin to holiness. God offers thanks to you who | practice thus the keeping of His Word. And as you give your mind to |
W1:151.13 | We | practice wordlessly today, except at the beginning of the time you |
W1:152.9 | Today we | practice true humility, abandoning the false pretense by which the |
W1:153.15 | Today we | practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We will begin |
W1:153.18 | In time, with | practice, you will never cease to think of Him and hear His loving |
W1:154.11 | We | practice giving Him what He would have that we may recognize His |
W1:155.14 | limitless His Love. In your name and His own, which are the same, we | practice gladly with this thought today: |
W1:158.11 | its unseen holiness; its likeness shines with its immortal love. We | practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts |
W1:161.1 | Today we | practice differently and take a stand against our anger, that our |
W1:161.1 | room to love. Here is salvation in the simple words in which we | practice today's idea. Here is the answer to temptation which can |
W1:161.11 | Today we | practice in a form we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is |
W1:162.4 | Today we | practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need no |

W1:164.3 | How holy is your | practicing today, as Christ gives you His sight and hears for you and |
W1:164.4 | has never touched. All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in | practicing today will bring rewards so great and so completely |
W1:164.7 | but what is given us from judgment made beyond the world. Our | practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release |
W1:164.8 | through His forgiving vision, now our own. Open the curtain in your | practicing by merely letting go all things you think you want. Your |

W1:184.14 | but One Name, Which He has given them. It is this Name we use in | practicing. And through Its use, all foolish separations disappear |
W1:185.7 | Let us today devote our | practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say. We |

Tx:8.99 | is the recognition that his will and God's are one. In the | presence of truth, there are no unbelievers and no sacrifices. In |
Tx:9.48 | it, however dimly, you abandon the ego automatically, because in the | presence of the grandeur of God the meaninglessness of the ego |
Tx:9.51 | The ego is immobilized in the | presence of God's grandeur, because His grandeur establishes your |

Tx:10.29 | may enter the temple and find it waiting for you. But be holy in the | Presence of God, or you will not know that you are there. For what is |
Tx:10.29 | He Himself dwells there and abides in peace. You cannot enter God's | Presence with the dark companions beside you, but you also cannot |
Tx:10.35 | as strong an ego defense as blaming others. You cannot enter God's | Presence if you attack His Son. When His Son lifts his voice in |
Tx:10.57 | silence is the sign that they have beheld God's Son, and in the | Presence of Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks |
Tx:10.85 | denied your simple request. What problems will not disappear in the | presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your |
Tx:11.38 | Being unable to love, the ego would be totally inadequate in love's | presence, for it could not respond at all. You would have to |
Tx:11.63 | The Holy Spirit is invisible, but you can see the results of His | Presence, and through them you will learn that He is there. What He |
Tx:11.64 | realize He is there. Miracles are His witnesses and speak for His | Presence. What you cannot see becomes real to you only through the |
Tx:11.64 | you cannot see, and it can become compellingly real to you as its | presence becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy Spirit's work, |
Tx:11.65 | you as you sent for it. Whose manifestations would you see? Of whose | presence would you be convinced? For you will believe in what you |
Tx:12.4 | calmly, for the ego cannot protect you against truth, and in its | presence the ego is dispelled. |
Tx:12.8 | no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you believe that in the | presence of truth you will turn on yourself and destroy yourself. |
Tx:12.14 | belief system because you think you would be helpless in God's | Presence, and you would save yourself from His love because you |
Tx:13.83 | Whenever you are in doubt what you should do, think of His | Presence in you and tell yourself this and only this: |

Tx:14.40 | placed other gods upon it. The temple still is holy, for the | Presence that dwells within it is Holiness. |
Tx:14.41 | Holiness waits quietly for the return of them that love it. The | Presence knows they will return to purity and to grace. The |
Tx:14.41 | Life. [Life is as holy as the Holiness by Which it was created.] The | Presence of Holiness lives in everything that lives, for Holiness |
Tx:14.70 | lessons of guilt can abide in what He has established as holy by His | Presence. Thank God that He is there and works through you. And all |
Tx:15.21 | for one instant, and you will never deny it again. Who can deny the | Presence of what the universe bows to in appreciation and gladness? |
Tx:15.102 | No sacrifice of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His | Presence, the whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is |
Tx:15.102 | with Him there. Love must be total to give Him welcome, for the | Presence of Holiness creates the holiness which surrounds it. No |
Tx:15.103 | and as powerful. Pain will be brought to us and disappear in our | presence, and without pain there can be no sacrifice. And without |
Tx:16.23 | only if you deny what It has done that you could possibly deny Its | Presence. |
Tx:17.55 | You stand together in the holy | presence of truth itself. Here is the goal, together with you. |
Tx:18.31 | unto God to shine away the past and so make room for His eternal | Presence, in which everything is radiant in the light. |
Tx:18.96 | was a time in which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the | Presence of your Creator, Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of |
Tx:19.39 | will accept them in His Name. What need is there of seeing in the | presence of His gratitude? |
Tx:19.88 | such seeming uncertainty of meaning, judge it not. Remember the holy | Presence of the One given to you to be the Source of judgment. Give |
Tx:19.94 | to get rid of peace and drive the Holy Spirit from you fades in the | presence of the quiet recognition that you love Him. The exaltation |
Tx:19.108 | Together we will disappear into the | Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost, but found; not to be |
Tx:21.22 | with what will happen of itself; simply to recognize again the | presence of what you thought you gave away. |
Tx:21.72 | be impossible. The army of the powerless must be disbanded in the | presence of strength. Those who are strong are never treacherous |
Tx:24.4 | than you think, are there by your election. Do not deny their | presence nor their terrible results. All that can be denied is their |
Tx:26.18 | one, without an opposite. And how could strife enter in its simple | presence and bring complexity where oneness is? The truth makes no |
Tx:26.79 | a living temple in a world of light. Because of Them. It is Their | Presence which has lifted holiness again to take its ancient place |
Tx:26.85 | What then remains to be undone for you to realize Their | Presence? Only this—you have a differential view of when attack is |
Tx:26.85 | is not limited. If it occurs at all, it will be total. And its | presence, in whatever form, will hide Their Presence. They are known |
Tx:26.85 | will be total. And its presence, in whatever form, will hide Their | Presence. They are known with clarity or not at all. Confused |
Tx:26.85 | of the size of the confusion or how much it interferes. Its simple | presence shuts the door to Theirs and keeps Them there unknown. |
Tx:26.86 | a cause or consequence and cannot have effects of any kind. Their | Presence is obscured by any veil which stands between Their shining |
Tx:26.89 | unto the purpose given it. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to let the | Presence of your holy Guests be known to you. And to this purpose, |
Tx:26.91 | By this do I deny the | Presence of the Father and the Son. And I would rather know of Them |
Tx:26.91 | Son. And I would rather know of Them than see injustice which Their | Presence shines away. |
Tx:27.26 | —the other half which is denied. And only what is left without his | presence is perceived as all of you. To this remaining half the Holy |
Tx:27.64 | maintained, is simply this: “You are the cause of what I do. Your | presence justifies my wrath, and you exist and think apart from |

Tx:29.7 | a sacrifice. But fear demands the sacrifice of love, for in love's | presence fear cannot abide. For hate to be maintained love must be |
Tx:29.14 | nowhere else His gifts of peace and joy and all the happiness His | Presence brings can be obtained. For they are where He is Who brought |
Tx:29.14 | gifts He brought. And when you look on them, you will believe His | Presence must be there. For what you now can do could not be done |

Tx:3.10 | time awareness, since to remember implies recalling the past in the | present. Time is under my direction, but Timelessness belongs to |
Tx:3.33 | The unquestioning mind is closed because it believes the future and | present will be the same. This establishes an unchanged state or |
Tx:3.33 | an underlying fear that the future will be worse than the | present, and this fear inhibits the tendency to question at all. |

Tx:4.26 | something that has occurred with such persistence. I am using your | present state [as an example] of how the mind can work, provided |
Tx:9.27 | The only meaningful contribution the therapist can make is to | present an example of one whose direction has been changed for him |
Tx:12.26 | by making the future like the past and thus avoiding the | present. By the notion of paying for the past in the future, the |

Tx:12.26 | in which it brings the past to the future by interpreting the | present in past terms. |
Tx:12.27 | Now has no meaning to the ego. The | present merely reminds it of past hurts, and it reacts to the present |
Tx:12.27 | The present merely reminds it of past hurts, and it reacts to the | present as if it were the past. The ego cannot tolerate release |
Tx:12.27 | the ego tries to preserve its image by responding as if it were | present. Thus it dictates reactions to those you meet now from a |
Tx:12.27 | to those you meet now from a past reference point, obscuring their | present reality. In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you |
Tx:12.27 | from them out of your own past because, by making it real in the | present, you are forbidding yourself to let it go. You thus deny |
Tx:12.28 | the spots of pain in your minds, directing you to attack in the | present in retaliation for a past that is no more. And this decision |
Tx:12.28 | the endless opportunities which you could find for release in the | present. The ego would preserve your nightmares and prevent you |
Tx:12.29 | because your dreams were not holy, the future cannot be, and the | present is without meaning. It is evident that the Holy Spirit's |
Tx:12.31 | the only purpose the ego perceives in time, and it closes over the | present so that no gap in its own continuity can occur. Its |
Tx:12.32 | be accomplished in the past and must be accomplished in the | present to release the future. This interpretation ties the future |
Tx:12.32 | This interpretation ties the future to the present and extends the | present rather than the past. But if you interpret your function as |
Tx:12.32 | interpret your function as destruction, you will lose sight of the | present and hold on to the past to ensure a destructive future. And |
Tx:12.45 | brother only as you see him now. His past has no reality in the | present, and you cannot see it. Your past reactions to him are |
Tx:12.46 | past experience as the reference point from which to judge the | present. Yet this is unnatural because it is delusional. When you |
Tx:12.46 | what you see now. For the past can cast no shadow to darken the | present unless you are afraid of light. And only if you are would |
Tx:12.47 | again is to let the past go and look without condemnation upon the | present. For the cloud which obscures God's Son to you is the past, |
Tx:12.48 | as imprison, depending on whose interpretation of it you use. Past, | present, and future are not continuous unless you force continuity |
Tx:12.48 | You would destroy time's continuity by breaking it into past, | present, and future for your own purposes. You would anticipate the |
Tx:12.49 | of your past obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the | present, and you will find it if you seek it there. You have looked |
Tx:12.49 | see. Your past was made in anger, and if you use it to attack the | present, you will not see the freedom that the present holds. |
Tx:12.49 | it to attack the present, you will not see the freedom that the | present holds. Judgment and condemnation are behind you, and unless |
Tx:12.50 | Look lovingly upon the | present, for it holds the only things that are forever true. All |
Tx:12.50 | at the same time and thus enables them to reach each other. The | present is before time was and will be when time is no more. In it is |
Tx:12.51 | The | present offers you your brothers in the light that would unite you |
Tx:12.63 | not depend upon your recognition. He lives within you in the quiet | present and waits for you to leave the past behind and enter into the |
Tx:13.23 | not in you. Your weird associations to it have no meaning in the | present. Yet you let them stand between you and your brothers, with |
Tx:13.23 | not salvation in the past. Would you impose your idle wishes on the | present and hope to find salvation now? |
Tx:14.38 | decision to be not as you were. Thus, truth was made past, and the | present was dedicated to illusion. And the past, too, was changed and |
Tx:14.60 | Learning is therefore in the past, but its influence determines the | present by giving it whatever meaning it holds for you. Your |
Tx:14.60 | it whatever meaning it holds for you. Your learning gives the | present no meaning at all. Nothing you have ever learned can help you |
Tx:14.60 | at all. Nothing you have ever learned can help you understand the | present or teach you how to undo the past. Your past is what you |
Tx:15.8 | The belief in hell is what prevents you from understanding the | present, because you are afraid of it. The Holy Spirit leads as |
Tx:15.8 | as the ego drives to hell. For the Holy Spirit, Who knows only the | present, uses it to undo the fear by which the ego would make the |
Tx:15.8 | present, uses it to undo the fear by which the ego would make the | present useless. There is no escape from fear in the ego's use of |
Tx:15.9 | The Holy Spirit would undo all of this now. Fear is not of the | present but only of the past and future, which do not exist. There is |
Tx:15.9 | of the past and future, which do not exist. There is no fear in the | present when each instant stands clear and separated from the past, |
Tx:15.9 | birth, in which the Son of God emerges from the past into the | present. And the present extends forever. It is so beautiful and so |
Tx:15.9 | which the Son of God emerges from the past into the present. And the | present extends forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and free of |
Tx:15.11 | lies Heaven. And Heaven will not change, for the birth into the holy | present is salvation from change. Change is an illusion, taught by |
Tx:15.52 | in each relationship what it will be when you perceive only the | present. |
Tx:16.71 | past. By seeking to remove suffering in the past, it overlooks the | present in its preoccupation with the past and its total commitment |
Tx:16.71 | commitment to it. No special relationship is experienced in the | present. Shades of the past envelop it and make it what it is. It |
Tx:16.71 | past envelop it and make it what it is. It has no meaning in the | present, and if it means nothing now, it cannot have any real |
Tx:16.71 | it must also be that this purpose could not be fulfilled in the | present, but only in the past. |
Tx:17.20 | does the past conflict with now. This continuity extends the | present by increasing its reality and its value in your perception |
Tx:17.24 | into a continuing, unholy alliance with the ego against the | present. For the present is forgiveness. Therefore, the |
Tx:17.24 | unholy alliance with the ego against the present. For the | present is forgiveness. Therefore, the relationships which the |
Tx:17.24 | perceived nor felt as now. Yet the frame of reference to which the | present is referred for meaning is an illusion of the past in which |
Tx:17.24 | is thus let go is all the truth the past could ever offer to the | present as witnesses for its reality, while what is kept but |
Tx:18.60 | quality. Time is not relevant; it can occur with something past, | present, or anticipated. The “something” can be anything and anywhere |
Tx:18.65 | make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin is never | present. In any single instant, the attraction of guilt would be |
Tx:18.66 | for all of them look to the future for release from a state of | present unworthiness and inadequacy. |
Tx:19.23 | from which escape will always be impossible. This is his past, his | present, and his future. For he has somehow managed to corrupt his |
Tx:20.14 | that the Son of God is risen from the past and has awakened to the | present. Now is he free, unlimited in his communion with all that is |
Tx:23.54 | and only love shines upon them forever. It is their past, their | present, and their future always the same, eternally complete, and |
Tx:26.38 | Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past and put it in the | present? You can not go back. And everything that points the way in |
Tx:26.40 | not there? Now you are shifting back and forth between the past and | present. Sometimes the past seems real, as if it were the present. |
Tx:26.40 | past and present. Sometimes the past seems real, as if it were the | present. Voices from the past are heard and then are doubted. You are |
Tx:26.40 | the borderland between the worlds, the bridge between the past and | present. Here the shadow of the past remains, but still a present |
Tx:26.40 | past and present. Here the shadow of the past remains, but still a | present light is dimly recognized. Once it is seen, this light can |
Tx:26.40 | can never be forgotten. It must draw you from the past into the | present, where you really are. |
Tx:26.42 | die each day to live again until you cross the gap between past and | present, which is not a gap at all. Such is each life—a seeming |
Tx:26.71 | in future time. No more can it be overlooked except within the | present. Future loss is not your fear. But present joining is your |
Tx:26.71 | except within the present. Future loss is not your fear. But | present joining is your dread. Who can feel desolation except |
Tx:26.72 | from healing. For a miracle is now. It stands already here in | present grace, within the only interval of time which sin and fear |
Tx:26.76 | is senseless, and the “reasoning” which would maintain effects of | present cause must be delayed until a future time is merely a denial |
Tx:26.82 | of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a | present love. And They come quickly to the living temple, where a |
Tx:28.4 | is there. Yet this is not a memory of past events, but only of a | present state. You are so long accustomed to believe that memory |
Tx:28.5 | All of the strange associations made to keep the past alive, the | present dead, are stored within it, waiting your command that they be |
Tx:28.6 | And yet you make strange use of it, as if the past had caused the | present, which is but a consequence in which no change can be made |
Tx:28.6 | will endure or else it will not last. No change can be made in the | present if its cause is past. Only the past is held in memory as you |
Tx:28.9 | could never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a Cause forever | present, perfectly untouched by time and interference—never changed |
Tx:28.13 | is no past to keep its fearful image in the way of glad awakening to | present peace. The trumpets of eternity resound throughout the |
Tx:28.13 | of God remembers from before his own remembering came in between the | present and the past to shut them out. |
Tx:28.14 | Now is the Son of God at last aware of | present Cause and Its benign effects. Now does he understand what he |
Tx:28.28 | ladder separation led you down. The miracle alone is your concern at | present. Here is where we must begin. And having started, will the |
Tx:29.7 | For hate to be maintained love must be feared and only sometimes | present, sometimes gone. Thus is love seen as treacherous because it |

W1:46.13 | when you become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, | present or not. In this event, tell him silently, |
W1:52.4 | see as it is? Let me remember that I look on the past to prevent the | present from dawning on my mind. Let me understand that I am trying |
W1:52.5 | only what is now. The choice is not whether to see the past or the | present: it is whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has |
W1:68.11 | whenever any thought of grievance arises against anyone, physically | present or not: |

W1:110.4 | In this one thought is all the past undone; the | present saved to quietly extend into a timeless future. If you are as |

W1:132.3 | all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find. The | present now remains the only time. Here in the present is the world |
W1:132.3 | not want to find. The present now remains the only time. Here in the | present is the world set free. For as you let the past be lifted and |
W1:135.2 | you attempt to plan the future, activate the past, or organize the | present as you wish. You operate from the belief you must protect |
W1:135.16 | obtained from past events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the | present, for it rests on the idea the past has taught enough to let |
W1:135.17 | old ideas and sick beliefs. Anticipation plays no part at all, for | present confidence directs the way. |
W1:135.19 | if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, | present, and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is |
W1:135.20 | Your | present trust in Him is the defense which promises a future |
W1:135.20 | set in time but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses but your | present trust direct the future, and this life becomes a meaningful |
W1:135.22 | We will anticipate that time today with | present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We |
W1:135.26 | You give up nothing in these times today when undefended you | present yourself to your Creator as you really are. |
W1:156.2 | We are not inconsistent in the thoughts that we | present in our curriculum. Truth must be true throughout if it be |
W1:164.1 | What time but now can truth be recognized? The | present is the only time there is. And so today, this instant, now, |
W1:169.6 | given and received completely. It returns the mind into the endless | present, where the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies |
W1:181.4 | the future but imagined. These concerns are but defenses against | present change of focus in perception. Nothing more. |
W1:181.10 | We look neither ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the | present. And we give our trust to the experience we ask for now. Our |
W1:194.4 | God holds your future as He holds your past and | present. They are one to Him, and so they should be one to you. Yet |
W1:194.4 | And you will see by your experience that you have laid the past and | present in His hands as well because the past will punish you no more |
W1:194.5 | Release the future. For the past is gone, and what is | present, freed from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and |
W1:194.7 | For he who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his way to | present peace and certainty of care the world can never threaten. He |
W2:243.1 | I will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my | present grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from bits of |
W2:289.2 | that is not there. For You have offered me Your own replacement in a | present world the past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is |
W2:290.1 | Unless I look upon what is not there, my | present happiness is all I see. Eyes that begin to open see at last. |
W2:290.1 | the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I seek my | present happiness and look on nothing else except the thing I seek. |
W2:293.1 | is gone and all its thoughts gone with it. Love remains the only | present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. Can the |
W2:293.1 | oppressing it and showing me distorted forms of pain? Yet in the | present, love is obvious and its effects apparent. All the world |
W2:293.2 | underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real world which the | present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this |
W2:WISC.4 | affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet will come or who is | present now is equally released from what he made. In this equality |
W2:308.1 | of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His | present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. |
W2:314.1 | from the past. The future now is recognized as but extension of the | present. Past mistakes can cast no shadows on it, so that fear has |
W2:314.1 | needed means are happily provided. Who can grieve or suffer when the | present has been freed, extending its security and peace into a quiet |
W2:314.2 | Father, we were mistaken in the past and choose to use the | present to be free. Now do we leave the future in Your hands, leaving |
W2:314.2 | leaving behind our past mistakes and sure that You will keep Your | present promises and guide the future in their holy light. |

C:27.15 | the proper response to the relationship that is occurring in the | present rather than to your preconceived notions of others, the |

D:Day7.18 | what we are concerned about now is the present. It is here, in this | present and given time on the mountain that you must realize that the |

D:Day7.21 | There is an acceptance of the | present that some of you are finding difficult and a false sense of |
D:Day8.8 | of the way things are, but acceptance of who you are in the | present. Not through acceptance of the way you want to be but of the |
D:Day8.8 | You will find, once you have begun to practice acceptance of the | present, that there will be far fewer things you do not like, and |
D:Day8.8 | and that you will be shown, in the relationship you have in the | present, the response to those you still do. |
D:Day8.9 | simple acceptance that you do not like the gossip taking place in a | present moment situation, will enable you not to participate, judge, |
D:Day8.13 | of others, but to accept who you are within the relationship of that | present moment. |
D:Day8.14 | than observing the situation for what it is and responding in the | present. |
D:Day8.15 | rather than feeling the feelings associated with gossip in the | present moment, you will soon find that a bit of gossip will crop up |
D:Day8.16 | This is the importance now of accepting yourself in the | present and of understanding certainty. Certainty cannot be |
D:Day8.16 | either your likes or dislikes. Being aware of how you feel in the | present moment is the only way to certainty. Thus to say that you are |
D:Day8.17 | it is crucial that you come to acceptance of yourself—in the | present, as you are—for only by doing so will you come to full |
D:Day8.17 | Self of form. Access and expression are both conditions of the | present. |
D:Day8.19 | This temptation stems from one thing only—from not living in the | present. Distancing, or non-acceptance of your own feelings, is not |

Tx:4.5 | There is, however, only one cause of all of them. The authority | problem is “the root of all evil.” Money is but one of its many |
Tx:4.6 | This untenable position is the result of the authority | problem which, because it accepts the one inconceivable thought as |

Tx:5.61 | believing it is attacking Him? We spoke before of the authority | problem as involving the concept of usurping God's power. The ego |
Tx:6.35 | is unnecessary because what never happened cannot involve any | problem. It does not follow, however, that you cannot make the |
Tx:7.100 | Surely no one would object to this goal if he recognized it. The | problem is not whether what the Holy Spirit says is true, but whether |

Tx:17.64 | in the way of understanding would have been removed. To remove the | problem elsewhere is to keep it. For you remove yourself from it |
Tx:17.65 | There is no | problem in any situation that faith will not solve. There is no shift |
Tx:17.65 | that faith will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the | problem but will make solution impossible. For if you shift part of |

Tx:26.68 | The one remaining | problem that you have is that you see an interval between the time |

Tx:30.6 | This is your major | problem now. You still make up your mind and then decide to ask |
Tx:30.6 | to ask what you should do. And what you hear may not resolve the | problem as you saw it first. This leads to fear because it |
Tx:30.9 | without fear, for opposition will not first arise and then become a | problem in itself. |
W1:26.6 | a sense of imposition, fear, foreboding, or preoccupation. Any | problem as yet unsettled which tends to recur in your thoughts during |
W1:38.9 | applications, apply the idea in its original form unless a specific | problem concerning you or someone else arises or comes to mind. In |

W1:47.1 | What would give you the ability to be aware of all the facets of any | problem and to resolve it in such a way that only good can come of |
W1:50.1 | Here is the answer to every | problem that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In |
W1:68.5 | them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there will never be a | problem in motivation ever again. |
W1:79.1 | A | problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. Even if it is |
W1:79.1 | it is. Even if it is really solved already, you will still have the | problem because you cannot recognize that it has been solved. This is |
W1:79.1 | that it has been solved. This is the situation of the world. The | problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already |
W1:79.1 | of the world. The problem of separation, which is really the only | problem, has already been solved. But the solution is not recognized |
W1:79.1 | already been solved. But the solution is not recognized because the | problem is not recognized. |
W1:79.2 | solution which solves them all is to be accepted. Who can see that a | problem has been solved if he thinks the problem is something else? |
W1:79.2 | Who can see that a problem has been solved if he thinks the | problem is something else? Even if he is given the answer, he cannot |
W1:79.3 | now. You have the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the | problem is. A long series of different problems seems to confront |
W1:79.4 | temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the | problem of separation unsolved. The world seems to present you with a |
W1:79.4 | answer. This perception places you in a position in which your | problem solving must be inadequate and failure must be inevitable. |
W1:79.6 | All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the | problem and therefore not to let it be resolved. If you could |
W1:79.6 | not to let it be resolved. If you could recognize that your only | problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept |
W1:79.6 | them all. And you would use the means because you recognize the | problem. |
W1:79.7 | In our longer practice periods today, we will ask what the | problem is and what is the answer to it. We will not assume that we |
W1:79.7 | that we think we have. We will try to realize that we have only one | problem, which we have failed to recognize. We will ask what it is |
W1:79.8 | successful to the extent to which we do not insist on defining the | problem. Perhaps we will not succeed in letting all our preconceived |
W1:79.8 | to recognize that we have been given the answer by recognizing the | problem so that the problem and the answer can be brought together |
W1:79.8 | we have been given the answer by recognizing the problem so that the | problem and the answer can be brought together and we can be at peace. |
W1:79.9 | efforts will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one | problem and one answer. In this recognition are all problems |
W1:79.11 | Let me recognize this | problem so it can be solved. |
W1:79.12 | Then try to suspend all judgment about what the | problem is. If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it |
W1:80.1 | you will recognize that you have no problems. Your one central | problem has been answered, and you have no other. Therefore you must |
W1:80.1 | you must be at peace. Salvation does depend on recognizing this one | problem and understanding that it has been solved. One problem—one |
W1:80.1 | this one problem and understanding that it has been solved. One | problem—one solution. Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from |
W1:80.2 | Your only | problem has been solved! Repeat this over and over to yourself today |
W1:80.2 | today with gratitude and conviction. You have recognized your only | problem, opening the way for the Holy Spirit to give you God's |
W1:80.2 | of truth. You have accepted salvation for yourself by bringing the | problem to the answer. And you can recognize the answer because the |
W1:80.2 | problem to the answer. And you can recognize the answer because the | problem has been identified. |
W1:80.3 | You are entitled to peace today. A | problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. Only be certain |
W1:80.3 | Their many forms will not deceive you while you remember this. One | problem—one solution. Accept the peace this simple statement brings. |
W1:80.4 | periods today, we will claim the peace that must be ours when the | problem and the answer have been brought together. The problem must |
W1:80.4 | ours when the problem and the answer have been brought together. The | problem must be gone because God's answer cannot fail. Having |
W1:80.4 | one, you have recognized the other. The solution is inherent in the | problem. You are answered and have accepted the answer. You are saved. |
W1:80.5 | conflict, free, and at peace. Above all, remember that you have one | problem and that the problem has one solution. It is in this that the |
W1:80.5 | at peace. Above all, remember that you have one problem and that the | problem has one solution. It is in this that the simplicity of |
W1:80.6 | sure to remember to apply the idea for today to any specific | problem that may arise. Say quickly: |
W1:80.7 | Let me recognize this | problem has been solved. |
W1:80.8 | The means is simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself about what the | problem is, and you must recognize it has been solved. |
W1:90.2 | [79] Let me recognize the | problem so it can be solved. Let me realize today that the problem |
W1:90.2 | the problem so it can be solved. Let me realize today that the | problem is always some form of grievance which I would cherish. Let |
W1:90.2 | simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one | problem and one solution. The problem is a grievance; the solution is |
W1:90.2 | the lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The | problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the |
W1:90.4 | This presents a | problem to me which I would have resolved. The miracle behind this |
W1:90.4 | behind this grievance will resolve it for me. The answer to this | problem is the miracle which it conceals. |
W1:90.5 | to have problems only because I am misusing time. I believe that the | problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked |
W1:90.5 | and time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see the | problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. That is |
W1:90.5 | do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the | problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit |
W1:90.5 | let Him. And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a | problem which has not been solved already. |
W1:90.7 | I need not wait for this to be resolved. The answer to this | problem is already given me if I will accept it. Time cannot |
W1:90.7 | is already given me if I will accept it. Time cannot separate this | problem from its solution. |
W1:96.2 | no matter how you try, what means you use, and where you see the | problem, must be accepted if you would be saved. Until you have |
W1:96.7 | What is it for? Salvation cannot make illusions real and solve a | problem that does not exist. Perhaps you hope it can. Yet would you |
W1:109.3 | certainty of God. There is no suffering it cannot heal. There is no | problem which it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to |
W1:126.1 | will bring about. If you believed this statement, there would be no | problem in complete forgiveness, certainty of goal, and sure |
W1:135.13 | is best, the means by which it is achieved, nor how to recognize the | problem that the plan is made to solve. It must misuse the body in |

T2:4.5 | continue to “bump in” to who you think you are as you complete the | process of unlearning. It might be best explained by continuing with |
T2:4.16 | You are in the | process of unmaking what you have made. The old structure is coming |
T2:4.17 | This | process too is union for it is giving and receiving as one although |
T2:4.17 | receiving as one although you recognize it not as such. It is not a | process of waiting until one thing is accomplished for another to |

T3:1.9 | This change that is in the | process of coming about has to do with awareness. When you become |

T3:10.8 | While much the same as forgetting it will seem to have a different | process in practice. This is the practice of ceasing to listen to the |

T4:1.14 | seem to lie in the laws of evolution, the slow learning and adaptive | process of man. Surely this would seem a likely answer and one to |
T4:2.4 | There was no Way or path or | process back to God and Self before me. It was the time of man |

T4:8.7 | you could “do” with the human body, you can imagine the learning | process that ensued. If your reality had been like unto the reality |

D:Day6.13 | —the simple truth that you are having to go about this creative | process while remaining embroiled in daily life—I want to |
D:Day7.14 | not an “if this, then that” situation even if it may seem so. Is the | process of breathing an “if this, then that” situation, just because |

D:Day29.6 | Your familiarity with your spacious self has also been part of the | process and part of the experience of merging wholeness and |
D:Day30.1 | is simply that which yields to wholeness. This yielding is a natural | process. To yield is to give up, surrender, but also to produce and |
D:Day30.2 | The two levels of experience we have spoken of might be seen as the | process, much like in math, through which the common denominator is |

Tx:2.93 | of your own thinking. This would be in direct opposition to the | purpose of this course. It is much more helpful to remind you that |
Tx:2.111 | is good. This is what his right-mindedness cannot but dictate. The | purpose of time is solely to “give him time” to achieve this |

Tx:4.75 | characteristic busyness with non-essentials is for precisely that | purpose. |
Tx:4.76 | If gold became more plentiful, its value would decrease, and his own | purpose would be defeated. The ego has countenanced some strange |
Tx:4.78 | with everything your mind wishes to undertake. What is the | purpose? Whatever it is, you cannot doubt that it will channelize |
Tx:4.78 | channelize your efforts automatically. When you make a decision of | purpose, then, you have made a decision about your future effort, a |

Tx:6.13 | enough from mine to be re-awakened by them. That was their only | purpose, and that is the only way in which I can be perceived as the |
Tx:6.27 | It reinforces your belief in your own split mind, and its only | purpose is to keep the separation going. It is solely a device of |
Tx:7.15 | what he translates, never changes the meaning. In fact, his whole | purpose is to change the form so that the original meaning is |
Tx:7.16 | The Holy Spirit's | purpose in translating is naturally exactly the opposite. He |
Tx:7.22 | teach everyone all it has learned, because that would defeat its | purpose. Therefore, it does not really learn at all. The Holy |
Tx:7.22 | You could not have a better example of the Holy Spirit's unified | purpose than this course. The Holy Spirit has taken very diversified |
Tx:7.23 | potentials for equalizing. This makes them useless for the ego's | purpose but very useful for His. If different abilities are applied |
Tx:7.84 | God, utilizes the power of the mind only to defeat the mind's real | purpose. It projects conflict from your mind to other minds in an |
Tx:7.90 | The whole | purpose of this course is to teach you that the ego is unbelievable |
Tx:8.5 | If learning aims at change, and that is always its | purpose, are you satisfied with the changes your learning has |
Tx:8.22 | goal of the curriculum, then, you cannot listen to the ego. Its | purpose is to defeat its own goal. The ego does not know this, |

Tx:8.59 | To use the body unnaturally is to lose sight of the Holy Spirit's | purpose and thus to confuse the goal of His curriculum. |
Tx:8.61 | In the world, not even the body is perceived as whole. Its | purpose is seen as fragmented into many functions which bear little |
Tx:8.62 | It does not stop at the body, for if it does, it is blocked in its | purpose. A mind which has been blocked has allowed itself to be |
Tx:8.63 | of communication as a medium of attack is an obvious confusion in | purpose. |
Tx:8.64 | not suffer? Perception of the body can be unified only by one | purpose. This releases the mind from the temptation to see the body |
Tx:8.64 | with hope of understanding either the aids or the learning's real | purpose. Learning must lead beyond the body to the reestablishment |
Tx:8.65 | and hurt yourself. Health is therefore nothing more than united | purpose. If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the |
Tx:8.65 | nothing more than united purpose. If the body is brought under the | purpose of the mind, the body becomes whole, because the mind's |
Tx:8.65 | purpose of the mind, the body becomes whole, because the mind's | purpose is one. Attack can only be an assumed purpose of the |
Tx:8.65 | the mind's purpose is one. Attack can only be an assumed | purpose of the body, because apart from the mind the body has no |
Tx:8.65 | purpose of the body, because apart from the mind the body has no | purpose at all. |
Tx:8.66 | on yourself. Are you willing to accept this, when your whole | purpose for learning should be to escape from limitations? To |

Tx:8.66 | of the curriculum and is interfering with his ability to accept its | purpose as his own. |
Tx:8.67 | Joy is unified | purpose, and unified purpose is only God's. When yours is unified, |
Tx:8.67 | Joy is unified purpose, and unified | purpose is only God's. When yours is unified, it is His. |
Tx:8.67 | only God's. When yours is unified, it is His. Interfere with His | purpose, and you need salvation. You have condemned yourself, but |
Tx:8.75 | an end because as such it will lose its true function. This is the | purpose of everything the ego does. Its sole aim is to lose sight |
Tx:8.83 | joyously have you utilized sleep according to the Holy Spirit's | purpose. You can indeed be “drugged by sleep,” but this is always |
Tx:8.88 | merely signs that the mind has split and does not accept a unified | purpose. |
Tx:8.91 | to learn anything consistently in a state of panic. If the | purpose of this course is to learn what you are and if you have |
Tx:8.92 | from it without a Guide who does know what your reality is. The | purpose of this Guide is merely to remind you of what you want. He |
Tx:8.107 | however, that the course does state, and repeatedly, that its | purpose is the escape from fear. |
Tx:10.44 | Every idea has a | purpose, and its purpose is always the natural extension of what it |
Tx:10.44 | Every idea has a purpose, and its | purpose is always the natural extension of what it is. Everything |
Tx:10.46 | more vigilant than you are because it is perfectly certain of its | purpose. You are confused because you do not know yours. |
Tx:10.50 | If the ego's goal of autonomy could be accomplished, God's | purpose could be defeated, and this is impossible. Only by learning |
Tx:10.50 | to the ego's teaching, its goal can be accomplished, and God's | purpose can not. According to the Holy Spirit's teaching, only |
Tx:10.50 | can not. According to the Holy Spirit's teaching, only God's | purpose is accomplishment, and it is already accomplished. |
Tx:11.12 | You have denied its power to conceal love, which was its only | purpose. The mask which you have drawn across the face of love has |

Tx:11.19 | and no nightmare can defeat a Child of God in his purpose. For your | purpose was given you by God, and you must accomplish it because it |
Tx:11.19 | must accomplish it because it is His Will. Awake and remember your | purpose, for it is your will to do so. What has been accomplished |
Tx:11.23 | you. Surely He will not fail to help you, since help is His only | purpose. Do you not have greater reason for fearing the world as |
Tx:11.60 | loving the extension of Himself which is His Son. The world has no | purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the real world has |
Tx:11.60 | which is His Son. The world has no purpose as it blends into the | purpose of God. For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, |
Tx:11.65 | of peace, a goal in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit's | purpose. You see what you expect, and you expect what you invite. |
Tx:12.1 | The ultimate | purpose of projection, as the ego uses it, is always to get rid of |
Tx:12.30 | The Holy Spirit interprets time's | purpose as rendering the need for it unnecessary. Thus does He regard |
Tx:12.31 | The continuity of past and future under its direction is the only | purpose the ego perceives in time, and it closes over the present so |
Tx:13.21 | the guilt. What strange relationships you have made for this strange | purpose! And you forgot that real relationships are holy and cannot |
Tx:13.25 | dispel reality. If guilt were real, Atonement would not be. The | purpose of Atonement is to dispel illusions, not to establish them as |
Tx:14.10 | is taught. Each effort made on its behalf is offered for the single | purpose of release from guilt to the eternal glory of God and His |
Tx:14.13 | peace. Stand not outside but join with me within. Fail not the only | purpose to which my teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He |
Tx:14.20 | made obscure. All things you made have use to Him for His most holy | purpose. He knows you are not separate from God, but He perceives |
Tx:14.21 | understand the language you have made. It has no meaning, for its | purpose is not communication, but rather the disruption of |
Tx:14.21 | communication, but rather the disruption of communication. If the | purpose of language is communication, how can this tongue mean |
Tx:14.28 | you made them against it. His perception of them, according to His | purpose, merely changes them into a call for what you have |
Tx:14.31 | fusing of everything into one meaning, one emotion, and one | purpose. God has one purpose which He shares with you. The single |
Tx:14.31 | into one meaning, one emotion, and one purpose. God has one | purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which the Holy |
Tx:15.45 | most useful learning device for teaching you love's meaning. For its | purpose is to suspend judgment entirely. Judgment always rests on |
Tx:15.66 | anger makes friends. This is not its statement, but it is its | purpose. For the ego really believes that it can get and keep by |
Tx:15.77 | since communication has been restored. And guilt, whose only | purpose is to disrupt communication, has no function here. |
Tx:15.87 | ego has for the body and to accept the fact that the ego has no | purpose you would share with it. For the ego would limit everyone to |
Tx:15.87 | to a body for its purposes, and while you think it has a | purpose, you will choose to utilize the means by which it tries to |
Tx:15.87 | you will choose to utilize the means by which it tries to turn its | purpose into accomplishment. This will never be accomplished. Yet |
Tx:15.88 | and the ego, and release your power unto creation, which is the only | purpose for which it was given you. Love would always give |
Tx:16.32 | special love partner is acceptable only as long as he serves this | purpose. Hatred can enter and indeed is welcome in some aspects of |
Tx:16.33 | ones as partners in any aspect of living and use them for any | purpose which they would not share with others, are trying to live |
Tx:16.51 | as an act of love would make love hateful. And the real | purpose of the special relationship, in strict accordance with the |
Tx:16.71 | the illusion that it has not gone because you think it serves some | purpose that you want fulfilled. And it must also be that this |
Tx:16.71 | purpose that you want fulfilled. And it must also be that this | purpose could not be fulfilled in the present, but only in the |
Tx:17.9 | born of the new perspective he has learned, has served its | purpose. |
Tx:17.14 | do not understand how they came into your minds and what their | purpose is. |
Tx:17.18 | almost at once. Once it is formed, doubt must enter in because its | purpose is impossible. The only such relationships which retain the |
Tx:17.19 | the body as a means of communication into relationships whose only | purpose is separation from reality? What forgiveness is enables |
Tx:17.24 | is an illusion of the past in which those elements which fit the | purpose of the unholy alliance are retained and all the rest let go. |
Tx:17.26 | your goal of madness. Be not separate from me, and let not the holy | purpose of Atonement be lost to you in dreams of vengeance. |
Tx:17.27 | you to make you happy, and nothing you do which does not share His | purpose can be real. The purpose God ascribed to anything is its only |
Tx:17.27 | and nothing you do which does not share His purpose can be real. The | purpose God ascribed to anything is its only function. Because of His |
Tx:17.28 | clearly not to make happy. But the holy relationship shares God's | purpose, rather than aiming to make a substitute for it. Every |
Tx:17.29 | relationship which you have ever undertaken has as its fundamental | purpose the aim of occupying your minds so completely that you will |
Tx:17.30 | all your holy relationships been carefully preserved to serve God's | purpose for you. |
Tx:17.33 | elaborate, all set with jewels and deeply carved and polished. Its | purpose is to be of value in itself and to divert your attention |
Tx:17.45 | is, is out of line with its own goal and clearly unsuited to the | purpose which has been accepted for it. In its unholy condition, |
Tx:17.46 | by the recognition of its inappropriateness for meeting its new | purpose. The conflict between the goal and the structure of the |
Tx:17.47 | each slow step according to its liking. Only a radical shift in | purpose could induce a complete change of mind about what the whole |
Tx:17.47 | contemplate their relationship from the point of view of this new | purpose, they are inevitably appalled. Their perception of the |
Tx:17.47 | the former organization of their perception no longer serves the | purpose they have agreed to meet. |
Tx:17.48 | time. The goal is set. And your relationship has sanity as its | purpose. For now you find yourselves in an insane relationship, |
Tx:17.50 | not understand, and let it be explained to you as you perceive its | purpose work in it to make it holy. You will find many |
Tx:17.50 | of your relationship, for it will seem at times to have no | purpose. A sense of aimlessness will come to haunt you and to remind |
Tx:17.55 | for its accomplishment? It is just this same discrepancy between the | purpose that has been accepted and the means as they stand now which |
Tx:17.55 | it is within, the gladness, too, is yours. You are joined in | purpose, but remain still separate and divided on the means. |
Tx:17.57 | The practical application of the Holy Spirit's | purpose is extremely simple, but it is unequivocal. In fact in |
Tx:17.62 | faith. Faith is implicit in the acceptance of the Holy Spirit's | purpose, and this faith is all-inclusive. Where the goal of truth is |
Tx:17.68 | Every situation in which you find yourself is but a means to meet the | purpose set for your relationship. See it as something else, and you |
Tx:17.69 | too weak or too compelling, but will be gently turned to its use and | purpose. The universe will serve it gladly, as it serves the |
Tx:17.71 | for faith. That Cause has entered any situation which shares Its | purpose. The light of truth shines from the center of the situation |
Tx:17.71 | center of the situation and touches everyone to whom the situation's | purpose calls. It calls to everyone. There is no situation which |
Tx:17.71 | yourself outside it and keep the situation holy. For it shares the | purpose of your whole relationship and derives its meaning from it. |
Tx:17.72 | your own relationship. Your faith will call the others to share your | purpose, as this same purpose called forth the faith in you. And |
Tx:17.72 | Your faith will call the others to share your purpose, as this same | purpose called forth the faith in you. And you will see the means |
Tx:17.72 | and faith makes room for truth.] When the Holy Spirit changed the | purpose of your relationship by exchanging yours for His, the goal He |
Tx:17.74 | situation is meant to be. The meaning which the Holy Spirit's | purpose has given it is also given to every situation. It calls forth |
Tx:17.76 | is laid aside unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirit's | purpose is free to use instead. This power instantly transforms all |
Tx:17.76 | situations into one sure and continuous means for establishing His | purpose and demonstrating its reality. What has been demonstrated has |
Tx:17.78 | of faith in him must mean to you. His salvation is your only | purpose. See only this in every situation, and it will be a means for |
Tx:17.79 | in it, for no one accepts what he does not believe is real. Your | purpose has not changed and will not change, for you accepted what |
Tx:18.1 | between, renouncing one in favor of the other. For this special | purpose, one is judged more valuable and the other is replaced by |
Tx:18.1 | in which the substitution occurred is thus fragmented and its | purpose split accordingly. To fragment is to exclude, and |
Tx:18.13 | as you have accepted. The peace of God is given you with the glowing | purpose in which you join. The holy light that brought you together |
Tx:18.20 | from you. [But He does use it differently, as a help to make His | purpose real to you.] Your special relationship will remain, not as |
Tx:18.21 | it will be extended. Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the | purpose He has given you. And think not that He has forgotten you to |
Tx:18.21 | His gratitude! Or mine through His! For we are joined as in one | purpose, being of one mind with Him. |
Tx:18.22 | has become one in which the wish has been removed because its | purpose has been changed from one of dreams to one of truth. You are |
Tx:18.41 | and all the means by which salvation is accomplished would have no | purpose. For they are all but aspects of the plan to change your |
Tx:18.43 | God wills it. Nor will He change His Mind about it. The means and | purpose both belong to Him. You have accepted one; the other will |
Tx:18.43 | belong to Him. You have accepted one; the other will be provided. A | purpose such as this without the means is inconceivable. He will |
Tx:18.43 | inconceivable. He will provide the means to anyone who shares His | purpose. |
Tx:18.44 | be done,” and not, “I want it otherwise.” The alignment of means and | purpose is an undertaking impossible for you to understand. You do |
Tx:18.44 | You do not even realize you have accepted the Holy Spirit's | purpose as your own, and you would merely bring unholy means to its |
Tx:18.44 | to its accomplishment. The little faith it needed to change the | purpose is all that is required to receive the means and use them. |
Tx:18.66 | All such attempts will ultimately succeed because of their | purpose. Yet the means are tedious and very time consuming, for all |
Tx:18.67 | Your way will be different, not in | purpose but in means. A holy relationship is a means of saving |
Tx:18.87 | Him not to abandon you and leave you there. For it is not His | purpose to frighten you, but only yours. You are severely tempted |
Tx:18.97 | has been uprooted from the world of shadows, and its unholy | purpose has been safely brought through the barriers of guilt, washed |
Tx:18.98 | else, and memory will be as useless as learning, for your only | purpose will be creating. Yet this you cannot know until every |
Tx:18.98 | to the bright world of new and clean perception. There is your | purpose now. And it is there that peace awaits you. |
Tx:19.2 | and so He heals through you. It is this joining Him in a united | purpose which makes this purpose real because you make it whole. |
Tx:19.2 | you. It is this joining Him in a united purpose which makes this | purpose real because you make it whole. And this is healing. The |
Tx:19.3 | or sickness depends entirely on how the mind perceives it and the | purpose which the mind would use it for. And it is obvious that a |
Tx:19.3 | segment of the mind can see itself as separated from the Universal | Purpose. When this occurs, the body becomes its weapon used against |
Tx:19.3 | When this occurs, the body becomes its weapon used against this | Purpose to demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The |
Tx:19.4 | being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's | purpose and brought illusions centered on the body to stand between |
Tx:19.11 | appears just as he is perceived in the holy instant, united in your | purpose to be released from guilt. You saw the Christ in him, and he |
Tx:19.13 | Your holy relationship, with its new | purpose, offers you faith to give unto each other. Your faithlessness |
Tx:19.16 | is its jailor or its liberator, according to which it chooses as its | purpose for itself. |
Tx:19.19 | make him really guilty. That is what sin would do, for such is its | purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the whole idea of |
Tx:19.21 | others serve. Here is its armor, its protection, and the fundamental | purpose of the special relationship in its interpretation. |
Tx:19.33 | to Him and to each other. Your holy relationship has as its | purpose now the goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled |
Tx:19.37 | past completely unhindered. The extension of the Holy Spirit's | purpose from your relationship to others to bring them gently in [has |
Tx:19.42 | The Holy Spirit's | purpose rests in peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let |
Tx:19.42 | back the universe and its Creator. This little wall would hide the | purpose of Heaven and keep it from Heaven. |
Tx:19.43 | hindrance. Salvation cannot be withheld from you. It is your | purpose. You cannot will apart from this. You have no purpose |
Tx:19.44 | holy relationship. Do not attempt to stand between Him and His holy | purpose, for it is yours. But let Him quietly extend the miracle of |
Tx:19.46 | can land and settle briefly upon anything, for it has no | purpose now. Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it |
Tx:19.46 | Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a mighty | purpose; the fixed and unchangeable dedication to sin and its |
Tx:19.69 | neither pain nor joy. It is a means and not an end. It has no | purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The body will seem |
Tx:19.69 | reaching the goal that you assign to it. [Only the mind can set a | purpose, and only mind can see the means for its accomplishment and |
Tx:19.71 | invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter and become your | purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and whatever |
Tx:19.79 | not to death nor to its master. When you accepted the Holy Spirit's | purpose in place of the ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for |
Tx:19.82 | body incorruptible and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy | purpose. The body no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. |
Tx:19.83 | the hardest can be accomplished first? The body can but serve your | purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem to be. Death, were it |
Tx:19.86 | to fulfill the mighty task for which it was given you. Your newborn | purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the Holy Spirit, and |
Tx:19.98 | Let us join together in a holy instant, here in this place where the | purpose given in a holy instant has led you. And let us join in |
Tx:19.99 | Yet merely to reach the place is not enough. A journey without a | purpose is still meaningless, and even when it is over, it seems to |
Tx:19.99 | no sense. How can you know that it is over unless you realize its | purpose is accomplished? Here, with the journey's end before you, |
Tx:19.99 | accomplished? Here, with the journey's end before you, you see its | purpose. And it is here you choose whether to look upon it or wander |
Tx:19.108 | established for salvation will be left undone. This is the journey's | purpose, without which is the journey meaningless. Here is the |
Tx:19.110 | safely within the sure protection of his Father. Here is the only | purpose that gives this world and the long journey through this world |
Tx:19.110 | You stand together, still without conviction they have a | purpose. Yet it is given you to see this purpose in your holy Friend |
Tx:19.110 | conviction they have a purpose. Yet it is given you to see this | purpose in your holy Friend and recognize it is your own. |
Tx:20.2 | no dark sign of crucifixion intervene between the journey and its | purpose; between the acceptance of the truth and its expression. This |
Tx:20.9 | for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit's | purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to |
Tx:20.9 | as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His | purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. He |
Tx:20.22 | into the home of truth, and who will wander off. He came without a | purpose, but he will not remain before the shining light the Holy |
Tx:20.24 | holiness that shone in both of you to bless the other? That is the | purpose of your holy relationship. Ask not the means of its |
Tx:20.33 | special function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His | purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which |
Tx:20.33 | the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His purpose. And as this | purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which sin can enter not, |
Tx:20.34 | This is the | purpose given you. Think not that your forgiveness of each other |
Tx:20.36 | take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only | purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so will its |
Tx:20.37 | of joining is a mighty herald of eternity. No one who has a single | purpose, unified and sure, can be afraid. No one who shares his |
Tx:20.37 | purpose, unified and sure, can be afraid. No one who shares his | purpose with him can not be one with him. |
Tx:20.41 | The sight that sees the body has no use which serves the | purpose of a holy relationship. And while you look upon each other |
Tx:20.51 | is not threatened. You are idolaters no longer. The Holy Spirit's | purpose lies safe in your relationship and not your bodies. You have |
Tx:20.58 | the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His | purpose. Being so simple and direct, this course has nothing in it |
Tx:20.59 | it, you are refusing to leave the means to Him Who changed the | purpose. You recognize you want the goal. Are you not also willing to |
Tx:20.59 | means? If you are not, let us admit that you are inconsistent. A | purpose is attained by means, and if you want a purpose, you must |
Tx:20.59 | inconsistent. A purpose is attained by means, and if you want a | purpose, you must be willing to want the means as well. How can one |
Tx:20.62 | so the illusion of a brother as a body is quite in keeping with the | purpose of unholiness. Because of this consistency, the means remain |
Tx:20.64 | imagining and vision. The difference lies not in them, but in their | purpose. Both are but means, each one appropriate to the end for |
Tx:20.64 | to the end for which it is employed. Neither can serve the | purpose of the other, for each one is a choice of purpose, employed |
Tx:20.64 | can serve the purpose of the other, for each one is a choice of | purpose, employed on its behalf. Either is meaningless without the |
Tx:20.65 | and have denied the means the Holy Spirit offers you to serve His | purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose through the |
Tx:20.65 | you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its | purpose through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself; |
Tx:20.65 | seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. Such was your | purpose, and while this purpose seems to have any meaning, the means |
Tx:20.65 | your eyes to shut him out. Such was your purpose, and while this | purpose seems to have any meaning, the means for its attainment will |
Tx:20.68 | to you. As it was given you, so will be its effects. And as its holy | purpose was not made by you, the means by which its happy end is |
Tx:20.69 | will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of | purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what |
Tx:20.70 | that what God willed and gave you shall be yours. This is your | purpose now, and the vision that makes it yours is ready to be given. |
Tx:20.72 | for everything He looks upon is always sure. For it will meet His | purpose, seen in unadjusted form and suited perfectly to meet it. |
Tx:20.72 | of your salvation, will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy | purpose bereft of means for its accomplishment. |
Tx:20.74 | are released from them. One thing is sure—hallucinations serve a | purpose, and when that purpose is no longer held, they disappear. |
Tx:20.74 | One thing is sure—hallucinations serve a purpose, and when that | purpose is no longer held, they disappear. Therefore, the question |
Tx:20.74 | never is whether you want them, but always, do you want the | purpose which they serve? This world seems to hold out many purposes, |
Tx:20.76 | for all the terrifying sights and screaming sounds the ego's | purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They step away from sin, |
Tx:21.24 | goal of sin induces the perception of a fearful world to justify its | purpose. What you desire you will see. And if its reality is false, |
Tx:21.25 | is denied, confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The | purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make |
Tx:21.29 | you attempt to ease the guilt that comes from the accepted | purpose of the relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit must |
Tx:21.29 | of the relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit must change its | purpose to make it useful to Him and harmless unto you. |
Tx:21.30 | imagine that you still experience its effects, but it is not your | purpose, and you no longer want it. No one allows a purpose to be |
Tx:21.30 | it is not your purpose, and you no longer want it. No one allows a | purpose to be replaced while he desires it, for nothing is so |
Tx:21.34 | find it. But as He uses them, they lead away from sin because His | purpose lies in the opposite direction. He sees the means you use |
Tx:21.37 | Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their | purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that |
Tx:21.39 | Holy Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what it is His | purpose to lead you from. You think He would deprive you for your |
Tx:21.44 | your reason tells you now, the ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's | purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the ego knows not of. |
Tx:21.44 | How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the Holy Spirit's | purpose as its own? |
Tx:21.45 | you recognize that it was not the ego that joined the Holy Spirit's | purpose, and so there must be something else. Think not that this |
Tx:21.53 | it must exist. And if it exists for you and has your freedom as the | purpose given it, you must be free to find it. |
Tx:21.55 | gone past this. Reason is a means which serves the Holy Spirit's | purpose in its own right. It is not reinterpreted and redirected from |
Tx:21.57 | your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was the Holy Spirit's | purpose accepted and accomplished both at once. Reason is alien to |
Tx:21.58 | room made way for vision. Vision extends beyond itself, as does the | purpose which it serves and all the means for its accomplishment. |
Tx:21.63 | brother, and if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a | purpose and believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. |
Tx:21.63 | madness has a purpose and believes it also has the means to make its | purpose real. To see the body as a barrier between what reason tells |
Tx:21.65 | given you to understand that this is so. For reason, kind as is the | purpose for which it is the means, leads steadily away from madness |
Tx:22.20 | reason, if escape from guilt was given to the Holy Spirit as His | purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can be impossible, the |
Tx:22.21 | made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy Spirit's | purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their use |
Tx:22.38 | went before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The whole | purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you will take |
Tx:23.4 | these meaningless distractions, lay Heaven aside? Your destiny and | purpose are far beyond them in the clean place where littleness does |
Tx:23.4 | beyond them in the clean place where littleness does not exist. Your | purpose is at variance with littleness of any kind. And so it is at |
Tx:23.19 | is essential it be understood what they are for, because it is their | purpose to make meaningless and to attack the truth. Here are the |
Tx:23.30 | and there is only one. And all your relationships have but the | purpose of seizing it and making it your own. |
Tx:23.31 | in place the substitute for Heaven which you prefer. This is their | purpose; they were made for this. There is no point in asking what |
Tx:23.41 | the source of pain. Attack in any form is equally destructive. Its | purpose does not change. Its sole intent is murder, and what form of |
Tx:23.41 | on his intent in nightmares where the smiles are gone and where the | purpose rises to meet his horrified awareness and pursue him still. |
Tx:23.43 | the idea of compromise but enter, and the awareness of salvation's | purpose is lost because it is not recognized. It is denied where |
Tx:23.45 | is saved? Would they be willing to accept the fact their savage | purpose is directed against themselves? No one unites with enemies |
Tx:23.45 | themselves? No one unites with enemies nor is at one with them in | purpose. And no one compromises with an enemy but hates him still for |
Tx:23.50 | is not your will. The overlooking of the battleground is now your | purpose. |
Tx:23.53 | see. For only bodies could attack and murder, and if this is your | purpose, then you must be one with them. Only a purpose unifies, and |
Tx:23.53 | and if this is your purpose, then you must be one with them. Only a | purpose unifies, and those who share a purpose have a mind as one. |
Tx:23.53 | must be one with them. Only a purpose unifies, and those who share a | purpose have a mind as one. The body has no purpose and must be |
Tx:23.53 | and those who share a purpose have a mind as one. The body has no | purpose and must be solitary. From below, it cannot be surmounted. |
Tx:23.53 | the Father and the Heaven He created for His Son because it has no | purpose. |
Tx:23.54 | Think what is given those who share their Father's | purpose and who know that it is theirs! They want for nothing. Sorrow |
Tx:24.3 | is extension. To withhold the smallest gift is not to know love's | purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold back but one belief, |
Tx:24.8 | as yours? You are his enemy in specialness; his friend in a shared | purpose. Specialness can never share, for it depends on goals that |
Tx:24.8 | you. God gave you both Himself, and to remember this is now the only | purpose that you share. And so it is the only one you have. |
Tx:24.10 | malice or stab of hate or wish to separate arises here. For here the | purpose which you share becomes obscured from both of you. You would |
Tx:24.10 | this course because it teaches you you are alike. You have no | purpose that is not the same and none your Father does not share with |
Tx:24.23 | is the seal of treachery upon the gift of love. Whatever serves its | purpose must be given to kill. No gift that bears its seal but offers |
Tx:24.23 | and serve it faithfully. And no relationship that holds its | purpose dear but clings to murder as safety's weapon and the great |
Tx:24.35 | What could the | purpose of the body be but specialness? And it is this that makes |
Tx:24.35 | The goal of separation is its curse. Yet bodies have no goal. | Purpose is of the mind. And minds can change as they desire. What |
Tx:24.35 | all their attributes, they cannot change. But what they hold as | purpose can be changed, and body states must shift accordingly. Of |
Tx:24.36 | to those who wish to heal and not attack, it is quite obvious. The | purpose of attack is in the mind, and its effects are felt but |
Tx:24.36 | but where it is. Nor is mind limited; so must it be that harmful | purpose hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make less sense to |
Tx:24.36 | make more sense to miracles. For miracles are merely change of | purpose from hurt to healing. |
Tx:24.37 | This shift in | purpose does “endanger” specialness, but only in the sense that all |
Tx:24.44 | too, as much as yours. And yet, because they serve a different | purpose, the strength their purpose holds is given them. And what |
Tx:24.44 | And yet, because they serve a different purpose, the strength their | purpose holds is given them. And what they see and hear and hold and |
Tx:24.52 | the healing of God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only | purpose the Holy Spirit sees in it and thus the only one it has. |
Tx:24.52 | Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its | purpose and will not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is |
Tx:24.57 | your deliverance may not be long. A senseless wandering, without a | purpose and without accomplishment of any kind, is all the other |
Tx:24.61 | clearly, judging against the Christ and setting forth for you the | purpose that you can attain and what you cannot do. Forget not that |
Tx:24.61 | to see. Out of His lack of conflict comes your peace. And from His | purpose comes the means for effortless accomplishment and rest. |
Tx:24.65 | hate, and you condemn it to decay and death. And if you see this | purpose in your brother's, such is your condemnation of your own. |
Tx:24.66 | cannot be attacked; what is but temporal has no effect. Only the | purpose that you see in it has meaning, and if that is true, its |
Tx:24.66 | and if that is true, its safety rests secure. If not, it has no | purpose and is means for nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for |
Tx:24.66 | as itself. Nor will that light go out when it is gone. Its holy | purpose gave it immortality, setting another light in Heaven, where |
Tx:24.67 | meaning of itself, yet you can give reality to it according to the | purpose which you serve. Here you are but means, along with it. God |
Tx:24.68 | still retains one unlearned lesson in his memory, one thought with | purpose still uncertain, or one wish with a divided aim. |
Tx:24.69 | is yours will come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and | purpose separate because they were so made and so perceived. And |
Tx:24.69 | be kept in mind that all perception still is upside down until its | purpose has been understood. Perception does not seem to be a |
Tx:24.71 | Thus does the “son” become the means to serve his “father's” | purpose. Not identical, not even like, but still a means to offer to |
Tx:24.71 | Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to His love and shared His | purpose, so does the body testify to the idea that made it and speak |
Tx:24.72 | to their like and separates each from all aspects with a different | purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's Will. The son of man |
Tx:24.72 | you to make a different choice and use perception for a different | purpose. And what you see will serve that purpose well and prove |
Tx:24.72 | perception for a different purpose. And what you see will serve that | purpose well and prove its own reality to you. |
Tx:25.1 | No more can you. Christ is within a frame of holiness whose only | purpose is that He may be made manifest to those who know Him not, |
Tx:25.3 | sick indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His | purpose folds the body in His light and fills it with the holiness |
Tx:25.6 | to you as you would have you be. And always is it faithful to your | purpose from which it never separates nor gives the slightest witness |
Tx:25.6 | it never separates nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the | purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it |
Tx:25.6 | in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it is your | purpose to behold, for means and end are never separate. And thus you |
Tx:25.9 | The Holy Spirit serves Christ's | purpose in your mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected |
Tx:25.9 | of specialness can be corrected where the error lies. Because His | purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the |
Tx:25.15 | up so that it can be seen. A frame that hides the picture has no | purpose. It cannot be a frame if it is what you see. Without the |
Tx:25.17 | to its Creator, one with Him and with His masterpiece. This is its | purpose, and you do not make the frame into the picture when you |
Tx:25.17 | see it in its place. The frame that God has given it but serves His | purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your separate purpose that |
Tx:25.17 | serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your separate | purpose that obscures the picture and cherishes the frame instead of |
Tx:25.20 | of God Himself is freely offered to everyone who shares His | purpose. It is not His Will to be alone. And neither is it yours. |
Tx:25.22 | Himself is one and not divided in His Will. And you must have one | purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His Will is brought |
Tx:25.25 | it, and they do not see it as the same. To each it has a different | purpose, and to each it is a perfect means to serve the goal for |
Tx:25.26 | has God protected still His Son, even in error. There is another | purpose in the world that error made because it has another Maker Who |
Tx:25.26 | it has another Maker Who can reconcile its goal with His Creator's | purpose. In His perception of the world, nothing is seen but |
Tx:25.29 | your peace and many chances to extend your own forgiveness. Such its | purpose is to those who want to see peace and forgiveness descend |
Tx:25.31 | forgivable or not? Does he need help or condemnation? Is it your | purpose that he be saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to |
Tx:25.31 | goal. Make then your choice. But recognize that in this choice the | purpose of the world you see is chosen and will be justified. |
Tx:25.32 | innocence they see. And thus they seek for it because it is their | purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone seeks for what will bring |
Tx:25.33 | The Son of God creates to bring him joy, sharing his Father's | purpose in his own creation that his joy might be increased and God's |
Tx:25.37 | as other than he is. The need for guilt is gone because it has no | purpose and is meaningless without the goal of sin. Attack and sin |
Tx:26.5 | to truth instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a | purpose in the world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. |
Tx:26.10 | many forms, and it will do so while the problem lasts. It serves no | purpose to attempt to solve it in a special form. It will recur and |
Tx:26.22 | goal this course has set. It will not go beyond this aim. Its only | purpose is to teach what is the same and what is different, leaving |
Tx:26.24 | your special function, where the separation is undone by change of | purpose in what once was specialness and now is union? All |
Tx:26.30 | Yet teaching that is what this course is for. This is its only | purpose, for only that is all there is to learn. And you can learn it |
Tx:26.31 | gate is difficult at all. Nothing you undertake with certain | purpose and high resolve and happy confidence, holding each other's |
Tx:26.31 | and miserable, down a road which leads to nothing and which has no | purpose. |
Tx:26.47 | And as such, the laws of healing must be understood before the | purpose of the course can be accomplished. Let us review the |
Tx:26.62 | Illusions serve the | purpose they were made to serve. And from their purpose, they derive |
Tx:26.62 | Illusions serve the purpose they were made to serve. And from their | purpose, they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have. God |
Tx:26.62 | seem to have. God gave to all illusions that were made another | purpose that would justify a miracle, whatever form they took. In |
Tx:26.70 | of it, believing that the risk of loss is great between the time its | purpose is made yours and its effects will come to you. In this form |
Tx:26.72 | safety all are laid within the future, where you cannot plan. No | purpose has been given it as yet, and what will happen has as yet no |
Tx:26.73 | of the working out can seem to take forever. The change of | purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all |
Tx:26.74 | until the time of liberation is at hand. Given a change of | purpose for the good, there is no reason for an interval in which |
Tx:26.76 | is changed and what it is cannot be recognized. The Holy Spirit's | purpose now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours as well? |
Tx:26.80 | thousand years to Them, or tens of thousands? When They come, time's | purpose is fulfilled. What never was passes to nothingness when They |
Tx:26.84 | to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's | purpose done. For They have come! For They have come at last! |
Tx:26.89 | to make the other innocent. And in this game do you perceive one | purpose for your whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto |
Tx:26.89 | for your whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto the | purpose given it. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to let the Presence of |
Tx:26.89 | this you seek to add unto the purpose given it. The Holy Spirit's | purpose is to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known to you. |
Tx:26.89 | to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known to you. And to this | purpose, nothing can be added, for the world is purposeless except |
Tx:26.89 | To add or take away from this one goal is but to take away all | purpose from the world and from yourself. And each unfairness that |
Tx:26.90 | deprived of light, abandoned to the dark, unfairly left without a | purpose in a futile world. The world is fair because the Holy Spirit |
Tx:27.5 | are cannot be seen nor pictured. Yet this one has not been used for | purpose of attack and therefore never suffered pain at all. It |
Tx:27.7 | but wish for death that is the motivation for this world. Its only | purpose is to prove guilt real. No worldly thought or act or feeling |
Tx:27.10 | it all signs of accusation and of blamefulness. Pictured without a | purpose, it is seen as neither sick nor well, nor bad nor good. No |
Tx:27.10 | experience of fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its | purpose being open and the mind made free again to choose what it is |
Tx:27.10 | choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a | purpose to be given that it may fulfill the function that it will |
Tx:27.11 | of breathing in the fetid scent of death. Let it have healing as its | purpose. Then will it send forth the message it received and by its |
Tx:27.12 | way to let this be achieved is merely this—to let the body have no | purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its purpose was to |
Tx:27.12 | body have no purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its | purpose was to foster guilt. For this insists your crippled picture |
Tx:27.12 | represents. This leaves no space in which a different view, another | purpose, can be given it. You do not know its purpose. You but gave |
Tx:27.12 | view, another purpose, can be given it. You do not know its | purpose. You but gave illusions of a purpose to a thing you made to |
Tx:27.12 | it. You do not know its purpose. You but gave illusions of a | purpose to a thing you made to hide your function from yourself. This |
Tx:27.12 | you made to hide your function from yourself. This thing without a | purpose cannot hide the function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let, |
Tx:27.12 | cannot hide the function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its | purpose and your function both be reconciled at last and seen as one. |
Tx:27.24 | thus He represents the other half and seems to have a different | purpose from the one you cherish and you think is yours. Thus does |
Tx:27.25 | not overlook the fact that every thought extends because that is its | purpose, being what it really is. From an idea of self as two, |
Tx:27.27 | mistakes in one unhealed and set the other free. That is divided | purpose which cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the function |
Tx:27.28 | mind that is united, functioning as one because It is not split in | purpose and conceives a single function as Its only one. Here is |
Tx:27.28 | function lies the means whereby your mind is unified. His single | purpose unifies the halves of you which you perceive as separate. And |
Tx:27.29 | limit. And therefore it must be limited and weak because that is its | purpose. Power is unopposed, to be itself. No weakness can intrude on |
Tx:27.36 | In conflict there can be no answer and no resolution, for its | purpose is to make no resolution possible and to ensure no answer |
Tx:27.39 | of which this world is made?” Whatever form the question takes, its | purpose is the same. It asks but to establish sin is real and answers |
Tx:27.45 | messages. If you wish only to be healed, you heal. Your single | purpose makes this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then |
Tx:27.54 | attention, drawing it away from Him and focusing upon itself. Its | purpose is the same as pleasure, for they both are means to make the |
Tx:27.54 | for they both are means to make the body real. What shares a common | purpose is the same. This is the law of purpose, which unites all |
Tx:27.54 | real. What shares a common purpose is the same. This is the law of | purpose, which unites all those who share in it within itself. |
Tx:27.54 | within itself. Pleasure and pain are equally unreal, because their | purpose cannot be achieved. Thus are they means for nothing, for |
Tx:27.54 | without a meaning. And they share the lack of meaning which their | purpose has. |
Tx:27.60 | call them different are dissolved and shown as powerless. The | purpose of a miracle is to accomplish this. And God Himself has |
Tx:27.65 | sees. And looked at thus, the world provides the means by which this | purpose seems to be fulfilled. |
Tx:27.66 | The means attest the | purpose but are not themselves a cause. Nor will the cause be changed |
Tx:27.79 | ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never change nor will its | purpose. Though the dream itself takes many forms and seems to show a |
Tx:27.79 | and events wherein its “hero” finds itself, the dream has but one | purpose, taught in many ways. This single lesson does it try to teach |
Tx:27.83 | because you did not make it and cannot control its actions or its | purpose or its fate. |
Tx:28.2 | And like all the things you made, it can be used to serve another | purpose and to be the means for something else. It can be used to |
Tx:28.19 | is a choice of dreams while you are still asleep, depending on the | purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish for dreams of healing or for |
Tx:28.21 | from a thing that has no cause? Yet if it has no cause, it has no | purpose. You may cause a dream, but never will you give it real |
Tx:28.54 | look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not tell you what its | purpose is and cannot understand what it is for. It does not |
Tx:28.63 | With this as | purpose is the body healed. It is not used to witness to the dream |
Tx:28.63 | not do. It serves to help the healing of God's Son, and for this | purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a purpose not your own, |
Tx:28.63 | Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a | purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not be sick. All |
Tx:28.66 | can be used to liberate God's Son unto his home. And with this holy | purpose is it made a home of holiness a little while because it |
Tx:29.5 | weaknesses set up the limitations on what you would do and keep your | purpose limited and weak. |
Tx:29.6 | misuse each circumstance and everyone you meet and see in them a | purpose not your own. |
Tx:29.16 | and Heaven knows it not. Yet here on earth it has a double | purpose, for it can be made to teach opposing things. And they |
Tx:29.16 | this but means the mind remains unchanged in its belief of what the | purpose of the body is. |
Tx:29.29 | they cover something else. Perceptions are determined by their | purpose in that they seem to be what they are for. A shadow |
Tx:29.32 | you, and you of him because he is his Father's Son and not for any | purpose you may see in him. Nothing is asked of you but to accept the |
Tx:29.40 | Nothing survives its | purpose. If it be conceived to die, then die it must unless it does |
Tx:29.40 | be conceived to die, then die it must unless it does not take this | purpose as its own. Change is the only thing that can be made a |
Tx:29.40 | Change is the only thing that can be made a blessing here, where | purpose is not fixed, however changeless it appears to be. Think not |
Tx:29.40 | it appears to be. Think not that you can set a goal unlike God's | purpose for you and establish it as changeless and eternal. You can |
Tx:29.40 | and establish it as changeless and eternal. You can give yourself a | purpose that you do not have. But you can not remove the power to |
Tx:29.40 | you can not remove the power to change your mind and see another | purpose there. Change is the greatest gift God gave to all that you |
Tx:29.41 | not aim at keeping time but at its ending when it has no use. Its | purpose ended; it is gone. And where it once held seeming sway is now |
Tx:29.42 | but is defined as what you see it for. How lovely is the world whose | purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How free from fear, how filled |
Tx:29.44 | separated off and found where all the rest of it is not. This is the | purpose he bestows upon the body—that it seek for what he lacks and |
Tx:29.45 | God's Son within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the | purpose every idol has, for this the role that is assigned to it, and |
Tx:29.48 | Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget the | purpose of the world the past has given it. For otherwise, the future |
Tx:29.49 | circle of despair, you need but to decide you do not know the | purpose of the world. You give it goals it does not have, and thus do |
Tx:29.55 | is to separate your brother from yourself. A dark and fearful | purpose, yet a thought without the power to change one blade of grass |
Tx:29.59 | What | purpose has an idol, then? What is it for? This is the only |
Tx:29.60 | It is for him the Holy Spirit speaks and tells you idols have no | purpose here. For more than Heaven can you never have. If Heaven is |
Tx:30.24 | mind about the day and have remembered what you really want. Its | purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane belief you want it |
Tx:30.39 | upon the form of what you want, you lose the understanding of its | purpose. So you see your will within the idol, thus reducing it to a |
Tx:30.57 | The real world is the state of mind in which the only | purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, |
Tx:30.58 | be understood. The world becomes a place of hope because its only | purpose is to be a place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled. |
Tx:30.58 | outside this hope because the world has been united in belief the | purpose of the world is one which all must share if hope be more than |
Tx:30.59 | Not yet is Heaven quite remembered, for the | purpose of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will |
Tx:30.59 | but this. And fear has dropped away because he is united in his | purpose with himself. There is a hope of happiness in him so sure and |
Tx:30.60 | for understanding this is Heaven itself. Even the real world has a | purpose still beneath creation and eternity. But fear is gone because |
Tx:30.60 | still beneath creation and eternity. But fear is gone because its | purpose is forgiveness, not idolatry. And so is Heaven's Son prepared |
Tx:30.61 | The real world still falls short of this, for this is God's own | purpose—only His, and yet completely shared and perfectly |
Tx:30.61 | are purposeless. For only then can guilt and sin be seen without a | purpose and as meaningless. |
Tx:30.62 | Thus is the real world's | purpose gently brought into awareness, to replace the goal of sin and |
Tx:30.63 | When brothers join in | purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the |
Tx:30.69 | they thought He was their enemy. But when they joined and shared a | purpose, they were free to learn their will is one. And thus the Will |
Tx:30.76 | the miracle can heal all forms of sickness, or it cannot heal. Its | purpose cannot be to judge which forms are real and which appearances |
Tx:30.82 | and yet is true. The Holy Spirit looks upon the world as with one | purpose, changelessly established. And no situation can affect its |
Tx:30.84 | Only a constant | purpose can endow events with stable meaning. But it must accord |
Tx:30.85 | given to the world and all experiences here. In this shared | purpose is one [meaning] shared by everyone and everything you see. |
Tx:30.86 | Escape from judgment simply lies in this—all things have but one | purpose which you share with all the world. And nothing in the world |
Tx:30.86 | to it, for it belongs to everything as it belongs to you. In single | purpose is the end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a |
Tx:30.86 | is the end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a different | purpose for the one who gains and him who loses. There could be no |
Tx:30.87 | is no light by which they can be seen and understood. They have no | purpose. And what they are for cannot be seen. In any thought of |
Tx:31.5 | true. Yet you will learn them, for their learning is the only | purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the |
Tx:31.12 | every preconception which we hold of what things mean and what their | purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is |
Tx:31.16 | what you made your brother for and learned to think that this his | purpose is. Unless he serves it, he has not fulfilled the function |
Tx:31.16 | was given him by you. And thus he merits death because he has no | purpose and no usefulness to you. |
Tx:31.24 | for will be enough to let this happen. And you will perceive his | purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you want and needs |
Tx:31.24 | answer to. He asks and you receive, for you have come with but one | purpose—that you both may learn you love each other with a |
Tx:31.28 | at all. If you are sin you are a body, for the mind acts not. And | purpose must be in the body, not the mind. The body must act on its |
Tx:31.28 | If you are sin, you lock the mind within the body, and you give its | purpose to its prison-house, which acts instead of it. A jailer does |
Tx:31.29 | the mind preferred the body change in its appearances to suit the | purpose given by the mind. For it can learn, and there is all |
Tx:31.30 | The mind that thinks it is a sin has but one | purpose—that the body be the source of sin and keep it in the |
Tx:31.33 | the world can offer consolation and escape from problems which its | purpose is to keep. Why should this be? Because it is a place where |
Tx:31.35 | the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a | purpose, and in this you come to understand what it is for. |
Tx:31.36 | way the lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is for? Its | purpose is the answer to the search that all must undertake who |
Tx:31.36 | will learning lead to heights of happiness in which you see the | purpose of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly within your |
Tx:31.38 | alternative instead. To fight against this step is to defeat your | purpose here. You did not come to learn to find a road the world does |
Tx:31.39 | it. And every road that leads the other way will not advance the | purpose to be found. If this be difficult to understand, then is |
Tx:31.40 | given him. How utterly opposed to truth is this, when the lesson's | purpose is to teach that what your brother loses you have lost and |
Tx:31.41 | within, when every road was made to separate the journey from the | purpose it must have unless it be but futile wandering? All roads |
Tx:31.43 | of the self is what the learning of the world is for. This is its | purpose—that you come without a self and make one as you go along. |
Tx:31.95 | through the world with every choice they make. For we are one in | purpose, and the end of hell is near. |
W1:I.1 | goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish nothing. It is the | purpose of these exercises to train the mind to think along the lines |
W1:I.3 | The | purpose of these exercises is to train the mind to a different |
W1:I.3 | in every situation in which you spend any long period of time. The | purpose is to train the mind to generalize the lessons, so that you |
W1:1.5 | in the kinds of things to which they are applied. That is the | purpose of the exercise. The statement is merely applied to anything |
W1:3.2 | the things to which the idea for the day is to be applied. For this | purpose one thing is like another—equally suitable and therefore |
W1:4.3 | from the meaningful. It is a first attempt in the long-range | purpose of learning to see the meaningless as outside you and the |
W1:6.3 | to upset you and can profitably be used throughout the day for that | purpose. However, the three or four practice periods which are |
W1:8.3 | The | purpose of the exercises for today is to begin to train your mind to |
W1:12.8 | your words have been erased, you will see His. That is the ultimate | purpose of these exercises. |
W1:16.7 | which arouses uneasiness. The following form is suggested for this | purpose: |
W1:20.3 | goal is of little worth. Can the salvation of the world be a trivial | purpose? And can the world be saved if you are not? God has one Son, |
W1:25.1 | | Purpose is meaning. Today's idea explains why nothing you see means |
W1:25.1 | is for your own best interests. That is what it is for; that is its | purpose; that is what it means. It is in recognizing this that your |
W1:25.4 | is necessary. At the most superficial levels, you do recognize | purpose. Yet purpose cannot be understood at these levels. For |
W1:25.4 | At the most superficial levels, you do recognize purpose. Yet | purpose cannot be understood at these levels. For example, you do |
W1:25.4 | levels. For example, you do understand that a telephone is for the | purpose of talking to someone who is not physically in your immediate |
W1:27.1 | that you are not sure you really mean it. This does not matter. The | purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will |
W1:28.3 | meaning to your tiny experience of tables, nor are you limiting its | purpose to your little personal thoughts. |
W1:28.4 | You will not question what we have already defined. And the | purpose of these exercises is to ask questions and receive the |
W1:28.5 | happiness and hope. Hidden under all your ideas about it is its real | purpose, the purpose it shares with all the universe. |
W1:28.5 | hope. Hidden under all your ideas about it is its real purpose, the | purpose it shares with all the universe. |
W1:28.6 | the idea for today, you are therefore really asking to see the | purpose of the universe. You will be making this same request of each |
W1:28.6 | And you are making a commitment to each of them to let their | purpose be revealed to you instead of placing your own judgment upon |
W1:29.1 | The idea for today explains why you can see all | purpose in anything. It explains why nothing is separate, by itself |
W1:29.2 | as you see it. Yet we emphasized yesterday that a table shares the | purpose of the universe. And what shares the purpose of the universe |
W1:29.2 | that a table shares the purpose of the universe. And what shares the | purpose of the universe shares the purpose of its Creator. |
W1:29.2 | the universe. And what shares the purpose of the universe shares the | purpose of its Creator. |
W1:29.3 | you know what is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy | purpose stands beyond your little range. When vision has shown you |
W1:34.5 | whenever you feel your peace of mind is threatened in any way. The | purpose is to protect yourself from temptation throughout the day. If |
W1:37.1 | of your true function in the world or why you are here. Your | purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you |
W1:38.8 | focused on the theme “There is nothing my holiness cannot do.” The | purpose of today's exercises is to begin to instill in you a sense |
W1:43.2 | which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a mighty | purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must become |
W1:43.2 | has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy | purpose, it must become the means for the restoration of his holiness |
W1:43.3 | and it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit's | purpose, then you cannot see apart from God. |
W1:44.3 | Today we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this | purpose, we will use a form of practice which has been suggested |
W1:46.6 | The | purpose of the first phase of today's practice is to put you in the |
W1:R1.5 | The | purpose of your learning is to enable you to bring the quiet with you |
W1:55.6 | [25] I do not know what anything is for. To me, the | purpose of everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are |
W1:55.6 | is to prove that my illusions about myself are real. It is for that | purpose that I attempt to use everyone and everything. It is this |
W1:55.6 | I believe the world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real | purpose. The purpose I have given the world has led to a frightening |
W1:55.6 | the world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The | purpose I have given the world has led to a frightening picture of |
W1:55.6 | led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to its real | purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the |
W1:57.4 | [33] There is another way of looking at the world. Since the | purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be |
W1:61.4 | truth and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your | purpose. |
W1:61.8 | day, and turn to sleep as you reaffirm your function and your only | purpose here. These two practice periods may be longer than the rest |
W1:61.9 | goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what you are and what your | purpose is. As a bringer of salvation, this is obviously necessary. |
W1:63.1 | to recognize the means for letting this be done through you! What | purpose could you have that would bring you greater happiness? |
W1:63.2 | It is yours to give him, for it belongs to you. Accept no trivial | purpose or meaningless desire in its place or you will forget your |
W1:64.1 | another way of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.” The | purpose of the world you see is to obscure your function of |
W1:64.2 | to see can be anything but a form of temptation, since this was the | purpose of the body itself. Yet we have learned that the Holy Spirit |
W1:64.2 | for all the illusions you have made, and therefore He sees another | purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you |
W1:65.1 | necessary for a total commitment. Salvation cannot be the only | purpose you hold while you still cherish others. The full acceptance |
W1:65.4 | The | purpose of this is to arrange your day so that you have set apart the |
W1:65.4 | mind needs, so that the Holy Spirit can use it consistently for the | purpose He shares with you. |
W1:65.10 | but try to get a sense of being willing to have your illusions of | purpose be replaced by truth. |
W1:66.4 | Our longer practice period today has as its | purpose your acceptance of the fact that not only is there a very |
W1:69.3 | to us than all else. Salvation is our only need. There is no other | purpose here and no other function to fulfill. Learning salvation is |
W1:70.5 | Your | purpose was to ensure that healing did not occur; God's purpose was |
W1:70.5 | Your purpose was to ensure that healing did not occur; God's | purpose was to ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing that |
W1:71.6 | you will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise your | purpose is divided, and you will attempt to follow two plans for |
W1:73.10 | and only His, is wholly in accord with your will. It is not the | purpose of an alien power, thrust upon you unwillingly. It is the one |
W1:73.10 | of an alien power, thrust upon you unwillingly. It is the one | purpose here on which you and your Father are in perfect accord. |
W1:75.4 | shows us. This is what we want to see, and only this. Our single | purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises before |
W1:76.4 | names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no | purpose. You think you must obey the “laws” of medicine, of |
W1:81.7 | my function from my will. I would not use this for an alien | purpose. |
W1:83.2 | conflict because it means I cannot have conflicting goals. With one | purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say, and what |
W1:91.13 | are united with you in this practice period in which you share a | purpose like Their own. Theirs is the light in which you will see |
W1:91.14 | with today's idea. This form would be helpful for this special | purpose: |
W1:92.6 | that it may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in | purpose and forgiveness and in love. |
W1:92.7 | Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a | purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all others different from |
W1:95.5 | you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of your | purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of |
W1:96.7 | a dream presents? What could the resolution mean in truth? What | purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot make |
W1:98.2 | our doubts we lay aside today and take our stand with certainty of | purpose and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We |
W1:98.2 | with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We have a mighty | purpose to fulfill and have been given everything we need with which |
W1:98.6 | exchange a little of your time for peace of mind and certainty of | purpose with the promise of complete success. And since time has no |
W1:100.1 | ways. One function shared by separate minds unites them in one | purpose, for each one is equally essential to them all. |
W1:122.1 | offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of | purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? |
W1:125.8 | speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and | purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father |
W1:125.10 | by today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special | purpose for this day—in quiet to receive the Word of God. |
W1:127.4 | No course whose | purpose is to teach you what you really are could fail to emphasize |
W1:128.2 | it will serve no other end but this. For everything must serve the | purpose you have given it until you see a different purpose there. |
W1:128.2 | must serve the purpose you have given it until you see a different | purpose there. The only purpose worthy of your mind this world |
W1:128.2 | you have given it until you see a different purpose there. The only | purpose worthy of your mind this world contains is that you pass it |
W1:128.6 | its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy | purpose. Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, |
W1:131.9 | Let us not try longer to impose an alien will upon God's single | purpose. He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is |
W1:131.19 | Today I seek and find all that I want. My single | purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who asks to reach the truth. |
W1:132.15 | Today our | purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held |
W1:133.9 | choice you make of value to you? What attracts your mind to it? What | purpose does it serve? Here it is easiest of all to be deceived, for |
W1:135.15 | easy to perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses with the | purpose all of them were made to realize. They are the means by which |
W1:135.19 | past, present, and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only | purpose is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He |
W1:136.1 | No one can heal unless he understands what | purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as well its |
W1:136.1 | purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as well its | purpose has no meaning. Being causeless and without a meaningful |
W1:136.2 | is an insane device for self-deception. And like all the rest, its | purpose is to hide reality, attack it, change it, render it inept, |
W1:136.13 | alter it. Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for such its | purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a little when you throw away its gifts, |
W1:138.7 | the choice that time was made to help us make. Such is its holy | purpose, now transformed from the intent you gave it, that it be a |
W1:139.6 | is true? Nothing the world believes is true. It is a place whose | purpose is to be a home where those who claim they do not know |
W1:R4.5 | your unforgiving thoughts from being seen and recognized. Their | purpose is to show you something else and hold correction off through |
W1:R4.10 | There is no hurry now, for you are using time for its intended | purpose. Let each word shine with the meaning God has given it as it |
W1:153.8 | We will not play such childish games today. For our true | purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for |
W1:153.9 | our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen | purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the world. |
W1:153.10 | Be still a moment, and in silence think how holy is your | purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable within its light. God's |
W1:153.15 | better still. And as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our | purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a time to spend |
W1:153.20 | time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of | purpose. We will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your |
W1:154.5 | delivery. If he determines what the messages should be or what their | purpose is or where they should be carried, he is failing to perform |
W1:155.9 | given you to follow in your footsteps as you walk with certainty of | purpose to the truth. It goes before you now, that they may see |
W1:157.6 | Your body will be sanctified today, its only | purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day |
W1:157.8 | you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a | purpose and will serve it well. Today we will embark upon a course |
W1:161.2 | whole, for only thus could it invent the partial world you see. The | purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish to see. All |
W1:161.3 | We give them to the Holy Spirit that He may employ them for a | purpose which is different from the one we gave to them. Yet He can |
W1:164.9 | Is not this | purpose worthy to be yours? Is not Christ's vision worthy to be |
W1:R5.1 | But now we hasten on, for we approach a greater certainty, a firmer | purpose and a surer goal. |
W1:R5.15 | the end of practice periods, but to recall the mind as needed to its | purpose. We place faith in the experience that comes from practice, |
W1:184.12 | of the world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our | purpose is to let our minds accept what He has given as the answer to |
W1:185.10 | but sure to you. You have been weak at times, uncertain in your | purpose and unsure of what you wanted, where to look for it, and |
W1:193.4 | And now guilt cannot enter, for its source has been excluded as the | purpose of the lesson has been changed to guiltlessness; the hatred |
W1:193.14 | another instant. Time was made for this. Use it today for what its | purpose is. Morning and night, devote what time you can to serve its |
W1:199.6 | seek for freedom. In Him they find what they have sought. The body's | purpose now is unambiguous. And it becomes perfect in the ability to |
W1:199.6 | the thought of freedom as its goal, the body serves, and serves its | purpose well. Without the power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of |
W1:200.5 | but chains and iron doors. For you must change your mind about the | purpose of the world if you would find escape. You will be bound till |
W1:200.6 | from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are true, a worthy | purpose? Who could hope for more while there appears to be a choice |
W1:200.11 | and to replace our shifting goals and solitary dreams with single | purpose and companionship. For peace is union if it be of God. We |
W1:205.1 | is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my | purpose and my function and my life while I abide where I am not at |
W2:WF.3 | what it sees as interfering with its chosen path. Distortion is its | purpose and the means by which it would accomplish it as well. It |
W2:226.1 | death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the | purpose of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so |
W2:236.1 | what to do and feel. And yet it has been given me to serve whatever | purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve. Today I give its |
W2:WIW.3 | find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the | purpose which the world was made to witness and make real. They see |
W2:WIW.4 | Sounds become the call of God. And all perception can be given a new | purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His |
W2:WIS.2 | the instrument the mind made in its striving to deceive itself. Its | purpose is to strive. Yet can the goal of striving change. And now |
W2:257.2 | us not forget that we can have no will but Yours today. And thus our | purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the peace You will |
W2:WIB.3 | truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the | purpose given it. But we can change the purpose which the body will |
W2:WIB.3 | must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can change the | purpose which the body will obey by changing what we think that it is |
W2:267.1 | in every thought. Peace fills my heart and floods my body with the | purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save |
W2:276.1 | Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our Father is, and for what | purpose we have come. And yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave |
W2:285.1 | I accept my holiness. For what would be the use of pain to me, what | purpose would my suffering fulfill, and how would grief and loss |
W2:WIRW.5 | The Holy Spirit has no need of time when it has served His | purpose. Now He waits but that one instant more for God to take His |
W2:294.1 | neutrality protects it while it has a use. And afterwards, without a | purpose, it is laid aside. It is not sick or old or hurt. It is but |
W2:308.1 | I must change my perception of what time is for. Time's | purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. The only interval |
W2:312.1 | come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy Spirit's | purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to look upon what |
W2:312.2 | I have no | purpose for today except to look upon a liberated world, set free |
W2:318.1 | save the world. What could conflict when all the parts have but one | purpose and one aim? How could there be a single part that stands |
W2:318.1 | rest? I am the means by which God's Son is saved because salvation's | purpose is to find the sinlessness which God has placed in me. I was |
W2:333.1 | thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the | purpose that the mind accorded it. For only then are its defenses |
W2:WAI.2 | this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single | purpose that we shared. And thus you joined with me. So what I am are |
W2:353.1 | is mine today to Christ to use in any way that best will serve the | purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I |
W2:353.1 | I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in | purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while |
W2:353.1 | almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His | purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity and recognize that Christ |
W2:354.1 | law but Yours. I have no self except the Christ in me. I have no | purpose but His own. And He is like His Father. Thus must I be one |
W2:FL.3 | And to this | purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to |
M:I.2 | is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no choice. The | purpose of the course might be said to provide you with a means of |
M:I.3 | but reinforces what you believe about yourself. Its fundamental | purpose is to diminish self doubt. This does not mean that the self |
M:I.4 | solely to convince himself that he is what he is not. Herein is the | purpose of the world. What else, then, would its curriculum be? Into |
M:2.5 | for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of that | purpose, and God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy |
M:4.16 | is just as great as theirs of Him. How joyous it is to share the | purpose of salvation! |
M:5.5 | The acceptance of sickness as a decision of the mind for a | purpose for which it would use the body is the basis of healing. And |
M:5.7 | and sickness, pain, disaster, and all suffering mean now? Having no | purpose, they are gone. And with them also go all the effects they |
M:5.10 | believes. To do this is to forget that all of them have the same | purpose and therefore are not really different. They seek for God's |
M:12.2 | to be many, for that is the world's need. Yet being joined in one | purpose, and one they share with God, how could they be separate from |
M:12.4 | Yet what makes them God's teachers is their recognition of the proper | purpose of the body. As they advance in their profession, they become |
M:12.4 | come the recognition in this new teacher of God of what the body's | purpose really is; the only use there really is for it. This lesson |
M:12.5 | this decision alone. To do that would be to give the body another | purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God's Voice will tell him |
M:14.1 | forever. So ends the world that guilt had made, for now it has no | purpose and is gone. The father of illusions is the belief that they |
M:14.1 | and is gone. The father of illusions is the belief that they have a | purpose; that they serve a need or gratify a want. Perceived as |
M:14.2 | Until forgiveness is complete, the world does have a | purpose. It becomes the home in which forgiveness is born and where |
M:14.5 | end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come, the | purpose of the world has gone. The world will end in peace because it |
M:14.5 | peace because it is a place of war. When peace has come, what is the | purpose of the world? The world will end in laughter because it is a |
M:22.6 | then, that healing lies. All else must follow from this single | purpose. |
M:24.4 | issues but waste time, draining it away from its appointed | purpose. If there are aspects to any concept or belief that will be |
M:25.5 | inevitable that, unless the individual changes his mind about its | purpose, he will bolster its uncertainties with increasing deception. |
M:28.1 | is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the world's | purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. It is the end |
M:28.4 | the universe. All things are seen in light, and in the light their | purpose is transformed and understood. And we, God's children, rise |
M:28.5 | Will to be our own. Illusions of another will are lost, for unity of | purpose has been found. |

C:P.15 | an internal and invisible foe to do battle with. This was hardly the | purpose of any teachings of the truth that have as their aim the |
C:2.8 | facts and the assumed theories of your existence. Although your | purpose here remains obscure, you identify some things you call |
C:2.8 | believe you will succeed. Others refuse to think of life in terms of | purpose and thereby condemn themselves to purposeless lives, |

C:6.22 | the light begins to shine, for all are here to aid you. This is the | purpose of the world and of love most kind: to end your |
C:7.4 | to be unique, your existence would seem to serve even less | purpose than it does now. Thus that which is most separate, or that |

C:9.9 | prepared, you walk alongside he who has waited for you with a single | purpose instead of alongside the conflicting desires you chose to let |
C:9.10 | God created cannot be used, but what you have made can, for its only | purpose is your use. Choose to use it now to return you to your real |
C:9.10 | Choose to use it now to return you to your real Self, and the new | purpose you establish will change its conditions as well as its |
C:9.32 | and the object of use be one and the same? This insanity makes the | purpose of your life seem to be one of usefulness. The more your body |
C:9.37 | or sister, is still limited by what you would have it do. Its | purpose, simply stated, is to supply a lack. This is your definition |
C:9.45 | It is its | purpose that makes use improper. The Holy Spirit can guide you to use |
C:10.8 | not to discourage you, but to encourage you not to give up. Your | purpose now is the holiest possible and all of heaven is with you. |

C:14.1 | The | purpose of the life you share here with your brothers and your |
C:14.1 | your sisters has been to challenge God's creation. Now your united | purpose must change to that of remembering who you are within God's |

C:14.19 | it up to look like sacrifice and gifts given, but all with the same | purpose in mind. What none realize is that fear has replaced love. |
C:14.23 | what heaven is. All that seems to make it change is the function or | purpose you would give it. It is but you who gave heaven the purpose |
C:14.23 | or purpose you would give it. It is but you who gave heaven the | purpose of giving you something to look forward to, a reward for a |

C:14.24 | but the purpose of neither is what you have ascribed it to be. The | purpose you give each thing within your world is what makes it what |
C:14.24 | within your world is what makes it what it is to you. And as each | purpose you have ascribed to anything proceeds from the foundation of |
C:14.24 | proceeds from the foundation of fear that built your world, each | purpose is as senseless and as reversed from the truth as is the next. |
C:14.25 | bring you any closer to it than you are. While you realize not the | purpose of anything in truth, you cannot know love or your own Self. |
C:14.26 | While your | purpose remains to make yourself and others special, you will not put |
C:16.11 | your split mind that has made of this memory what will serve its | purpose. What it calls a deficiency is your saving grace. Letting go |
C:16.11 | would tell you in favor of what your heart already knows is but the | purpose of this Course. |
C:16.25 | for the common good. You thus behave in “noble” ways that serve no | purpose. |
C:18.22 | between you and the body is the perfect relationship for the | purpose of learning, since both the experience and the reaction to |
C:19.24 | your mind and heart in wholeheartedness until you see clearly. One | purpose of the distinctions you have made between mind and heart are |
C:20.41 | What you each have been given is that which will serve your | purpose. You could have no more perfect gifts, for your gifts are |
C:22.5 | layers. While such a piercing has no intrinsic value in terms of | purpose, it provides an image of a straight line passing through not |
C:22.7 | that did not previously exist by providing a function and a | purpose for each. In the case of the needle and the onion, |
C:22.7 | and the onion, partnership is less apparent because function and | purpose are not apparent. Partnership is thus equated with productive |
C:22.8 | is similarly interpreted. Intersections that create function and | purpose are deemed meaningful. Intersections that seem to have no |
C:22.8 | deemed meaningful. Intersections that seem to have no function or | purpose are deemed meaningless. The act of passing through is, of |
C:22.9 | of the object you have assigned meaning to. You have seen your | purpose as one of assigning meaning to that which intersects with you |
C:22.10 | your world needing to pass through layers with a seeming lack of | purpose for the passing through. |
C:22.23 | always imagined it to be. You will find that you fulfill a grand | purpose, and have a wonderful part to play in a grand design. You |
C:24.4 | lessons that do not touch your heart will accomplish anything. The | purpose of the final lessons are both unlearning and moving through |
C:25.10 | is contingent on harmony. It is being in agreement about the | purpose for which you are here and your entitlement to be fully |
C:25.13 | Being healed and recognizing your own state of being healed is a key | purpose of the time of tenderness. You cannot realize your true |
C:25.18 | concerned about previously. Your life may actually seem to have less | purpose. You may begin to wonder what to do. You will almost |
C:26.7 | stated before, the quest for meaning is how you have described your | purpose here. To have no meaning to attach to your life is the |
C:26.7 | seeking the meaning you would give it. You feel no inherent sense of | purpose, no grace, no meaning beyond what you would give to your own |
C:26.11 | life you would surely do it? Have you not long wished to know your | purpose? To be given a goal that would fulfill the longing in you? |
C:27.2 | Your being here is not futile or without | purpose. Your being is itself all purpose, all honor, all glory. |
C:27.2 | here is not futile or without purpose. Your being is itself all | purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no being apart from being. |
C:27.3 | Yet being, like love, is in relationship. Thus, your | purpose here, rather than being one of finding meaning, is one of |
C:27.4 | The | purpose of this Course has been stated in many ways and is stated |
C:27.4 | Course has been stated in many ways and is stated again here: The | purpose of this Course is to establish your identity. The importance |
C:27.4 | of this Course is to establish your identity. The importance of this | purpose cannot be underestimated. Let us address the question of why |
C:28.10 | from the witnesses you find along your way. They serve a limited | purpose for a limited time. Now is the time to step beyond the |
C:30.2 | You attempt to learn for something other than your Self, for some | purpose other than your Self. Thus was service given another route |
C:31.11 | The | purpose of the mind is extension. Thus, the upside-down perception |
T1:1.2 | wholehearted responses from those of a split mind. Its further | purpose will be to identify the service that you can provide once |
T1:4.21 | You are being revisited with these lessons expressly for the | purpose of not repeating your former reaction or interpretation of |
T2:1.4 | you may still fear your desire. Despite many exhortations that your | purpose here is to be who you are, you may have determined that |
T2:13.6 | world a while longer. Listen for my voice as I guide you to your | purpose here and linger with you in this time to end all time. We are |
T3:2.1 | What | purpose would it seem to serve to have anything exist only as a |
T3:2.1 | as a representation? We might think of this in terms of original | purpose and the original purpose of representation being to share the |
T3:2.1 | We might think of this in terms of original purpose and the original | purpose of representation being to share the Self in a new way. |
T3:2.2 | What | purpose has art? While art is but a representation of what the artist |
T3:2.2 | something known. This is what true relationship does and is its | purpose as well as what it is. |
T3:2.3 | aloneness, independence, individuality—these became the | purpose you assumed rather than the purpose you started out to |
T3:2.3 | individuality—these became the purpose you assumed rather than the | purpose you started out to achieve—that of a new way of expression |
T3:2.5 | corresponding step away from God. As independence seemed to be your | purpose here, you could not keep yourself from attempts to advance in |
T3:2.6 | behind now as we advance toward truth through returning to original | purpose. Your return to your original purpose eliminates the concept |
T3:2.6 | through returning to original purpose. Your return to your original | purpose eliminates the concept of original sin and leaves you |
T3:4.7 | will work is the replacement of illusion with the truth. The very | purpose of this Treatise is to prevent the replacement of illusion |
T3:5.7 | given once and for all. It is the gift of restoration to original | purpose. Without there having been an original purpose worthy of |
T3:5.7 | to original purpose. Without there having been an original | purpose worthy of God's son, the crucifixion would have ended life in |
T3:5.7 | Instead, the sons of man were freed to pursue their original | purpose. |
T3:5.8 | be reborn to life eternal. Without rebirth of the Self, the original | purpose goes unfulfilled. Since God is original purpose, original |
T3:5.8 | Self, the original purpose goes unfulfilled. Since God is original | purpose, original cause, the origin of self and of relationship, |
T3:5.8 | original cause, the origin of self and of relationship, original | purpose cannot go unfulfilled. What this means is that the illusion |
T3:13.1 | Now that we have established the consistency of our former | purpose, that of establishing your identity, and our new purpose, |
T3:13.1 | our former purpose, that of establishing your identity, and our new | purpose, that of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you |
T3:18.3 | for the physical experience, it is a natural choice to serve our new | purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in |
T3:18.3 | This is the perfect example of using what you have made for a new | purpose. It is the perfect ending for the desired experience, as it |
T3:21.10 | place in which you have experience that can now be used for a new | purpose. |
T3:21.19 | also use the certainty you have felt about your identity for our new | purpose, the purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as |
T3:21.19 | certainty you have felt about your identity for our new purpose, the | purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in |
T3:21.19 | have and use the only identity you have been certain of for a new | purpose? |
T3:21.20 | does not matter, even while realizing that it will serve your new | purpose. Further, there are even two aspects to this contradictory |
T3:21.22 | there. What I am saying is that your differences can serve our | purpose until differences are no longer seen. What I am saying is |
T3:22.1 | Although the entire | purpose of these Treatises is to answer the question of what to do |
T4:1.22 | to offer. It is what has caused your growing desire for meaning and | purpose. It is what has caused you to finally be ready to still your |
T4:2.23 | connections save for special relationships, and with little | purpose implied in the brief encounters you have with others. You |
T4:2.32 | all, and that each encounter is one of union and relationship, and | purpose—purpose that will be revealed to you because you exist in |
T4:2.32 | that each encounter is one of union and relationship, and purpose— | purpose that will be revealed to you because you exist in union with |
T4:2.33 | unity and relationship through unity and relationship. This is your | purpose now, and this the curriculum to guide you to the fulfillment |
T4:2.33 | now, and this the curriculum to guide you to the fulfillment of your | purpose. |
T4:3.3 | The devotion of the observant will return you to your original | purpose. The vision of Christ-consciousness will take you beyond it. |
T4:3.8 | the vision of love, judgment is over naturally for it has served its | purpose. This is the final judgment. |
T4:4.17 | that your true Self will be returned to you only through death? What | purpose would this Course serve if it were just another preview of |
T4:4.18 | What | purpose will death serve when your true Self has joined with your |
T4:8.9 | —each being's yearning, passionate, excessive drive to fulfill its | purpose, like a drive to explore the ocean before knowing how to swim |
T4:8.13 | the Created and the Creator, you expand and enrich God. What other | purpose would God ever have had for wanting to express the Love that |
T4:8.13 | not for the expansion and enrichment it would add to His being? What | purpose is behind your own desire to do thus? |
T4:8.14 | the ego that made this desire seem to be for anything other than the | purpose of expansion and enrichment of your being. If it is only in |
T4:8.16 | which is a true desire consistent with your true nature and your | purpose here. To learn everything there is to know about even one |
T4:8.17 | constant revelation of what is. True learning has had only one | purpose—the purpose of returning you to awareness of your true |
T4:8.17 | revelation of what is. True learning has had only one purpose—the | purpose of returning you to awareness of your true identity. Be done |
T4:12.25 | achieved all that was possible to achieve as an individual. The | purpose of individual learning was the return of unity! Pause a |
D:1.3 | to believe can fail to fulfill or live your mission and your | purpose. You “see” this failure occurring through ineptness of |
D:1.12 | the identity of the one you have called yourself. This has been the | purpose of many renaming ceremonies that symbolize the release of the |
D:1.24 | happening, as you accept your true identity, is a transference of | purpose concerning your body. What once you saw as yourself, you now |
D:3.3 | It calls to you and asks you to invest your life with the very | purpose you have always desired. You are not purposeless now. Your |
D:4.29 | fits within the divine design, to where it is a life of meaning and | purpose. This return is the return of wholeness. This return is not |
D:6.1 | was stated and restated many times so that you would not forget the | purpose of the learning you were participating in. Eventually your |
D:6.13 | world. Even if it has been a false certainty, it served a great | purpose in the time of learning. Discovery has been a grand |
D:16.10 | do and what you are rather than what is happening to you. Creation's | purpose, creation's cause and effect is wholeness and the continuing |
D:Day2.3 | You can see how you have moved from seeming purposelessness to | purpose. |
D:Day3.52 | and felt. This experience has only one combined value, one combined | purpose, the purpose of the final letting-go, the final surrender |
D:Day3.52 | experience has only one combined value, one combined purpose, the | purpose of the final letting-go, the final surrender that is |
D:Day4.23 | The answer to both come in the stated | purpose of A Course of Love: Establishing your identity. You needed |
D:Day4.34 | both the old temptations and the new. You realize that this is the | purpose of our time together here even though you have not put this |
D:Day4.34 | purpose of our time together here even though you have not put this | purpose into words and put these words into your mind. What is the |
D:Day4.39 | far in your acceptance of the truth of who you really are, then our | purpose of being together here on this mountain top will go |
D:Day5.10 | While the | purpose of this work was to have you identify love and thus your |
D:Day6.17 | on the holy mountain while you remain within your life for the very | purpose of not allowing this to happen. |
D:Day6.20 | daily life of my time. They were attempts to distract me from my | purpose, to change my focus, to engage me in debate, to lure me from |
D:Day6.26 | Our dialogue is not without | purpose. You know this or you would not be here. You know this or you |
D:Day8.1 | our dialogue concerning not removing yourself from life. Your whole | purpose in pursuing the course of this dialogue may have been, at |
D:Day8.2 | yourself from life. All those frustrations you currently feel have a | purpose: To move you through them and beyond them—to acceptance. |
D:Day15.5 | be observed physically. This practice had two purposes. The first | purpose was the establishment of a new kind of interaction and |
D:Day15.5 | and relationship between observer and observed. The second | purpose was your preparation to move beyond observation. |
D:Day15.11 | in and out of the state of Christ-consciousness will not serve the | purpose of creation. |
D:Day15.14 | If so, enter the dialogue with the | purpose of your final preparations in mind. Bring your fears into the |
D:Day15.21 | whom you are engaged in this specific dialogue for this specific | purpose or practice. |
D:Day15.22 | anything when you slip into observable states of being. There is a | purpose for this time in which both informing and observing, being |
D:Day15.24 | you have been asked to be here and to join with others here for a | purpose. As such, this time is also a beginning to the practice of |
D:Day15.26 | you engage in dialogue as the spacious Self and are made known, your | purpose here will become more clear. Thus your ability to embrace all |
D:Day15.26 | clear. Thus your ability to embrace all while focusing on your own | purpose in being here, will begin a new process of individuation. The |
D:Day15.28 | the unknown as well as the known, to reclaim your Self and your | purpose here. |
D:Day30.2 | found, more than one (fraction, part, or variable) must exist. The | purpose of finding a common denominator is to translate what is more |
D:Day31.8 | individuated Self to experience separately from God is to negate the | purpose of the experience of the Self which is God. To negate is to |
D:Day32.6 | What would the | purpose of this be? Would God be standing back, judging Himself on |
D:Day32.6 | has already granted free will so He can't do that? If the original | purpose was knowing Himself, what kind of knowing would this provide? |
D:Day35.15 | the possibility of many expressions of creation would negate the | purpose of creation, which is life in relationship, life in harmony, |

C:9.45 | from the initial confusion of the use you think your body would | put you to. All such confusion stems from your displacement of |

C:13.4 | While you may desire to | put what you feel into words, this exercise is not about putting |

C:26.11 | you have cried about in frustration? Have you not long sought to | put a name on happiness? Have you not long lamented that if you knew |
C:31.14 | truth of your existence: that giving and receiving are one in truth. | Put another way, all this says is that in order to be your Self, you |
T1:3.9 | You will almost feel panic at the thought of such a choice being | put before you. If you will agree to choose a miracle at all, which |
T1:4.2 | miracles that express the truth of who you are. This Treatise will | put your instruction fully under my guidance and allow you to |
T1:4.8 | self of the ego-mind. The ego-mind, in its imitation of creation, | put the “you” of the ego or the body at the center of its thought |
T1:5.15 | It is in this way that you will enter a time of miracles, | put an end to suffering, and thus begin the return to love. |
T1:7.2 | due to the belief that spirit has chosen a form, and more accurately | put a “lesser” form in which to exist, and that that choice includes |
T2:1.13 | for a musician or mean that a painter will not eventually | put a brush to a canvas. But it does mean that the treasure exists |
T2:4.7 | within your life. Let us look now at your reaction to the idea | put forth earlier of having a calling. |
T2:7.21 | as stated previously, this belief will at times seem difficult to | put into practice, and while your recognition of receiving and of |
T2:8.1 | In order for this learning to come to completion, you must | put into practice the belief that no relationships are special. Your |
T2:10.16 | prescribes learning for certain circumstances that would be quickly | put behind you or chosen for specific outcomes. While many love to |
T2:11.12 | without relationship, then the image of yourself the ego has | put forth would have been a true image. But as life cannot exist |
T2:12.1 | belief in correction, or atonement, is the final belief that must be | put into practice. |
T2:12.3 | is but the culmination and the integration of the beliefs we have | put forth here. The miracle I am offering you here is the service I |
T2:13.1 | The final call of this Treatise is, in contrast to those | put forth previously, a personal call from me to you. By now you have |
T2:13.1 | fulfilled under the mantle of individuality. You have been told to | put on a new mantle, a new identity. What does this mean? |
T2:13.4 | unity taking place around you, practice the beliefs that have been | put forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the time of unity, the |
T2:13.6 | Our journey together is just beginning as we return to the premise | put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the |
T3:2.4 | that has been built around this system. Now, along with the beliefs | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you are asked to accept a new |
T3:3.6 | you have replaced judgment with forgiveness as a belief. You have | put this belief into practice in each instance where you have seen it |
T3:3.9 | all that has brought you to where you now are, you might be able to | put the beliefs of this Course into practice. If not quite this |
T3:3.9 | to the idea that you are not good enough or that you do not want to | put the effort into being good enough. Like a person who believes she |
T3:7.2 | is not needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the beliefs | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity” are necessary only to return you |
T3:8.13 | not have to be even while you have accepted that it is? Let us now | put an end to this acceptance through the birth of a new idea. |
T3:11.2 | also feel an awareness of Self. Without necessarily being able to | put it into words, they no longer feel the statement of “I am” as a |
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 |
T3:15.13 | the ego and call upon the Christ in you to learn anew. That learning | put an end to the old. Living what you have learned will usher in the |
T3:16.15 | idea of needing to maintain specialness. A key aid in helping you to | put this temptation behind you is the idea of the holy relationship |
T3:19.3 | | Put these fears to rest. |

D:8.8 | the Course and the Treatises, all of what you needed to learn was | put forth. What we are now doing is discussing what was taught from |
D:10.3 | You think that the use you | put these givens to, what you do with them, how you express them in |
D:10.7 | prior to the time of learning and that has always existed. When | put into practice and allowed to replace the pattern of learning, |
D:12.1 | In the terms in which you are used to thinking, terms that have | put the body at the center of your universe and yourself, there is no |
D:14.4 | that lies beyond the body and mind, form and time. You will need to | put into practice the suspension of belief that was spoken of |
D:14.13 | Again, these ideas can be likened to the ideas | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity and Its Recognition” when it was |
