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:19.103  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:20.15  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:28.58 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:29.38  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: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: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

W1:95.1  creation—weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with  pain.

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

W1:99.9  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

W1:102.2  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

W1:133.14  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

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: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:4.55  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: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:5.45  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:5.50  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:5.61 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:8.70  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:10.68  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 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: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: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:17.62  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: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
Tx:30.76  one appearance must remain apart from healing, one illusion must be  part of truth. And you could not escape all guilt, but only some of
Tx:30.77  brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a  part of him outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to
Tx:30.87  no meaning. No one has agreed with you on what it means. It is a  part of a distorted script which cannot be interpreted with meaning.
Tx:31.8  so you did not hear it and had lost a friend who always wanted to be  part of you. The soft, eternal calling of each part of God's creation
Tx:31.8  always wanted to be part of you. The soft, eternal calling of each  part of God's creation to the whole is heard throughout the world
Tx:31.70  be. The actions of the body are perceived as coming from the “baser”  part of you and thus of him as well. By focusing upon the good in
Tx:31.75 Behold your role within the universe! To every  part of true creation has the Lord of Love and Life entrusted all
W1:14.7  repertory of horrors at which you are looking. These things are  part of the world you see. Some of them are shared illusions, and

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

W1:95.19 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

W1:100.1 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

W1:130.7  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.

W1:134.3 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

W1:136.5 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

W1:139.9  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,

W1:151.12 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

W2:228.2  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

W2:238.1  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: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:5.30  and thus fear of God. You can accept terror that reigns in another  part of the world because you feel no relationship to it. It is only

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: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:10.27  of all the “others” traveling it with you. You will feel more a  part of everything rather than less, and be surprised by this feeling.
C:11.12 It is true that your free will is powerful as it is  part, but only part, of what has allowed you to believe in your

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: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:19.17  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: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,

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,

Tx:12.49  perceiving him without them, you are releasing him. And since his  past is yours, you share in this release. Let no dark cloud out

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:16.70  past? Every such choice is made because of something “evil” in the  past to which you cling and for which must someone else atone.
Tx:16.71 The special relationship takes vengeance on the  past. By seeking to remove suffering in the past, it overlooks the

Tx:16.71  the past, it overlooks the present in its preoccupation with the  past and its total commitment to it. No special relationship is
Tx:16.71  special relationship is experienced in the present. Shades of the  past envelop it and make it what it is. It has no meaning in the
Tx:16.71  it cannot have any real meaning at all. How can you change the  past except in fantasy? And who can give you what you think the
Tx:16.71  past except in fantasy? And who can give you what you think the  past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do not seek to lay the
Tx:16.71  And who can give you what you think the past deprived you of? The  past is nothing. Do not seek to lay the blame for deprivation on it,

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

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

W1:41.4  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

W1:52.3  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  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

W1:69.5  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

W1:92.4 Strength overlooks these things by seeing  past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that lies

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  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  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

W1:131.7  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

W1:131.17  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

W1:151.12  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

W1:164.1  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

W1:194.4 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  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  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,

W2:289.2 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.

W2:308.1  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.

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

T1:9.15  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

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.

T4:2.14 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

T4:12.24  is one of sharing in unity and relationship. There is no  pattern within it for learning (which is individual), for individual

T4:12.27  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

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: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:4.14  In such a way of thinking, one would take the internal thought  pattern, enhance it with the external pattern, and by seeing the

D: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: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:2.15 Although they may not have seemed so, all  patterns have had to do with learning because you were, as a

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:3.20  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:4.12 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:4.16  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

Tx:5.83  fixed on God. It is also fixed in you. You, then, are fixed in the  peace of God. The concept of “fixation” is also a very helpful one

Tx:6.19  you are using it as a weapon for assault rather than as the call for  peace for which it was intended. The Apostles often misunderstood it
Tx:6.20  they never could have quoted me as saying, “I come not to bring  peace but a sword.” This is clearly the exact opposite of everything
Tx:6.25  is the belief in separation. The wholeness of God, which is His  peace, cannot be appreciated except by a whole mind which

Tx:6.38 The great  peace of the Kingdom shines in your mind forever, but it must shine

Tx:7.63  splitting them. If they cannot coexist in peace and if you want  peace, you must give up the idea of conflict entirely and for all
Tx:7.67  and you must be vigilant against this divided state, because only  peace can be extended. Your divided minds are blocking the

Tx:7.94  is fulfilling its function, and only complete fulfillment is  peace.

Tx:8.1  is only because those who are in conflict are not peaceful, and  peace is the condition of knowledge, because it is the condition of
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:8.4 Those whom you perceive as opponents are part of your  peace, which you are giving up by attacking them. How can you

Tx:8.25  you do not believe you are in Him. Yet He is all in all. His  peace is complete, and you must be included in it. His laws govern
Tx:8.29 Do you not think the world needs  peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it to the world as
Tx:8.35  to be known. Can you be separated from your identification and be at  peace? Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion. The

Tx:8.40  Who is our home. Whenever fear intrudes anywhere along the road to  peace, it is always because the ego has attempted to join the
Tx:8.83  of unconsciousness. Unconsciousness is impossible. You can rest in  peace only because you are awake.
Tx:9.39  on anything else, but not on this. This, then, is where  peace abides. And you abide in peace when you so decide. Yet you

Tx:9.39  And you abide in peace when you so decide. Yet you cannot abide in  peace unless you accept the Atonement, because the Atonement is the
Tx:9.39  you accept the Atonement, because the Atonement is the way to  peace. The reason is very simple and so obvious that it is often
Tx:9.61  will realize how much is up to you. When anything threatens your  peace of mind, ask yourself,
Tx:9.69  brings more than merely lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and  peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your will
Tx:9.73 If you realized the complete havoc this makes of your  peace of mind, you could not make such an insane decision. You make
Tx:9.73  you want. It follows, then, that you want something other than  peace of mind, but you have not considered what it must be. Yet the

Tx:9.80 When a brother is sick, it is because he is not asking for  peace and therefore does not know he has it. The acceptance of
Tx:9.80  peace and therefore does not know he has it. The acceptance of  peace is the denial of illusion, and sickness is an illusion. Yet
Tx:9.81  that you always receive as much as you accept. You could accept  peace now for everyone you meet and offer them perfect freedom from
Tx:9.83  only because you honor them. Place honor where it is due, and  peace will be yours. It is your inheritance from your real Father.
Tx:9.84 Only at the altar of God will you find  peace. And this altar is in you, because God put it there. His Voice

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: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: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:19.39  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:19.61  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  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:19.74  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:19.84  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:19.89  it for destruction. Teach me how not to make of it an obstacle to  peace but let You use it for me to facilitate its coming.
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: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: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:23.16  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:23.52  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: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?

W1:185.5 To mean you want the  peace of God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these words

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

W1:200.7 There is no peace except the  peace of God because He has one Son, who cannot make a world in

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.

W1:200.11  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.

W1:208.1 [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  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:11.1 This is a question everyone must ask. Certainly  peace seems to be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other

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:7.45  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:7.81  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:8.35  the delusion. Judging truth as something they do not want, they  perceive deception and block knowledge.

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:9.4  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:9.9  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: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:28.53  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: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:31.57  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

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

W1:134.9  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

W1:135.15 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

W1:161.10 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

W1:187.3  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

W1:193.2  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

W1:198.14  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,

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

W2:290.1  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

W2:293.1  All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I  perceive a world forgiven at last.

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

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:25.54  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: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:27.26  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: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:29.52  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:30.57  the escape from guilt becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is  perceived and takes the place of idols which are sought no longer,
Tx:30.58  one is tempted by its vain appeal, for suffering and death have been  perceived as things not wanted and not striven for. The possibility

Tx:31.66  One vision, clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was  perceived before will change the world for eyes that learn to see,

Tx:31.70  good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of the body are  perceived as coming from the “baser” part of you and thus of him as

Tx:26.48  in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The Son of God  perceives what he would see, because perception is a wish

Tx:28.55  way. It takes no sides and judges not the road it travels. It  perceives no gap because it does not hate. It can be used for hate,
Tx:29.27  heavy lump of fear which is their core. And it is this the miracle  perceives, and not the wrappings in which it is bound.

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:3.57  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:3.58  partial awareness. Knowledge transcends all the laws which govern  perception because partial knowledge is impossible. It is all one and

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:5.32  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  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:7.36  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:7.64  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:8.79  be a mirror of a split mind. Do not let it be an image of your own  perception of littleness. Do not let it reflect your will to attack.
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  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:17.44 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: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

W1:43.1  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  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

W1:58.2  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
W1:86.4 God's plan for salvation will save me from my  perception of this. This is no exception in God's plan for my

W1:88.7 My  perception of this shows me I believe in laws which do not exist. I

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
W1:138.2 It is this strange  perception of the truth that makes the choice of Heaven seem to be

W1:181.2  Perception has a focus. It is this which gives consistency to what

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.

W1:194.7  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

W2:243.1  grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from bits of my  perception, which are all that I can see. Today I recognize that this
W2:269.1  me my mistakes and look beyond them. It is given me to find a new  perception through the Guide You gave to me and through His lessons
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

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: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:15.27  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:15.82  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:16.17  Could you not look with greater charity on whom God loves with  perfect love?

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: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  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: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:19.87  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: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:20.42  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:23.54  something that you can win. Can it be anything that offers you a  perfect calmness and a sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch

Tx:24.31  the Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a  perfect Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell
Tx:24.31  Him Whose Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace in  perfect safety and without the heat and malice of one thought of
Tx:24.46  these sights are yours to look upon with Him and share His joy. His  perfect lack of specialness He offers you that you may save all

Tx:24.53  one sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell. Yet will his  perfect sinlessness release you both, for holiness is quite
Tx:24.54  place nor time where He is not. Within your brother's holiness, the  perfect frame for your salvation and the world's, is set the shining
Tx:24.68  must have a Son. Yet must this Son have been created like Himself. A  perfect being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed, nothing to add
Tx:25.7  who are His Son. Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness and  perfect purity, in love celestial and so complete it wishes only that
Tx:25.17  any way. What God creates is safe from all corruption, unchanged and  perfect in eternity.
Tx:25.20  but share His praise of what He loves? God cherishes creation as the  perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is made complete when any
Tx:25.20  of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. This brother is His  perfect gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His
Tx:25.20  perfect gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His  perfect Son for being what he is. And all His thanks and gladness
Tx:25.25  as the same. To each it has a different purpose, and to each it is a  perfect means to serve the goal for which it is perceived. For

Tx:25.25  frame to set it off—the perfect battleground to wage its wars, the  perfect shelter for the illusions which it would make real. Not one
Tx:25.26  world, nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of  perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with instant and
Tx:25.30 The Maker of the world of gentleness has  perfect power to offset the world of violence and hate that seems to

Tx:26.17  you should offer or receive less than He gave when He created you in  perfect love.
Tx:26.39  Son entered an instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's  perfect Love. And how can he be kept in chains long since removed and

Tx:27.11  is Heaven free to be remembered. Here its peace can come and  perfect healing take the place of death. The body can become a sign
Tx:27.75  he gave. And do not brush aside his many gifts because he is not  perfect in your dreams.
Tx:28.9  from what It is. And you are Its effects, as changeless and as  perfect as Itself. Its memory does not lie in the past nor await the
Tx:28.28 What waits in  perfect certainty beyond salvation is not our concern. For you have
Tx:28.45  the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness, complete and  perfect, lies in every one of them. And they are joined because
Tx:28.59  his Father say, “You are beloved of Me and I of you forever. Be you  perfect as Myself, for you can never be apart from Me.” His Son
Tx:29.21  incomplete by your perfection? Or are you the proof that He is  perfect and complete? Deny Him not His witness in the dream His Son
Tx:29.34  but the shining glory of His gift to you. Behold His Son, His  perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to whom is all
Tx:29.57  to all living things, give way to chaos, and the Son of God, as  perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father, come to hate a little
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

Tx:30.47  no sound of battle comes remotely near, it rests in certainty and  perfect peace. Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware
Tx:30.47  of all the world that worships idols and that knows not God. In  perfect sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal
Tx:30.59  he will go beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made  perfect in himself. He has no wish for anything but this. And fear
Tx:30.60 The final step is God's because it is but God Who could create a  perfect Son and share His Fatherhood with him. No one outside of
Tx:30.64  hand you hold! Within your hand is everything you need to walk with  perfect confidence away from fear forever and to go straight on and
Tx:30.78 God's Son is  perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor will you know him if you
Tx:30.79 I thank you, Father, for your  perfect Son, and in his glory will I see my own.

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

W1:101.8 God's Will for me is  perfect happiness. There is no sin; it has no consequence.

W1:151.14  the threads of fantasy are gone, and what remains is unified into a  perfect thought that offers its perfection everywhere.
W1:152.2  grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind where love and  perfect holiness abide? Truth must be all-inclusive if it be 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

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

T3:8.4  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  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

T3:12.2  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

T3:1.1 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

T3:8.4  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  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  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

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

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: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: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:23.51 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:24.54  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:26.45  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:27.34  pictures and no learning aids.] And what will ultimately take the  place of every learning aid will merely be. Forgiveness vanishes

Tx:27.58  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:28.11  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:30.46  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

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:1.2  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:1.18  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: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:6.19 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: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:8.18  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:9.14  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:9.30  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:9.45  destructive force of such abuse is easily apparent. Again you would  place the blame outside yourself and label drugs, alcohol, tobacco,

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: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: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:31.12  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:Day9.5  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.
D:Day10.6  that comes from union will seem to come, at least initially, from a  place other than the self. Because certainty seems to come from a
D:Day10.6  a place other than the self. Because certainty seems to come from a  place “other than” or beyond the self of form, you will instinctively
D:Day10.6  have greater trust in it. You will believe it comes from a  place “other than” or beyond the self of form because it comes in the
D:Day10.15  of form. Reflect further on your idea of certainty coming from a  place “other than” the self. Realize in these reflections that you
D:Day10.23  a true sharing in relationship in which an exchange is taking  place, you will further your progress greatly.
D:Day10.26  have spoken, in short, of the feelings you would think would have no  place within the ideal self or the elevated Self of form.

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

W1:71.8  things are possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His  plan, which cannot fail.

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

W1:80.1  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  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.

W1:99.4  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

W1:100.4 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

W1:135.12 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

W1:135.27  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

W1:136.13  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

W1:186.5  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

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:Day3.40  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: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

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: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: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:18.48  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: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:26.56  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: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  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:8.38  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: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:13.43  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  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:14.44 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:15.88  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: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: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
W1:38.1  the power of God is made available. And there is nothing the  power of God cannot do.
W1:38.2  in connection with yourself and with anyone else. It is equal in its  power to help anyone because it is equal in its power to save anyone.
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
W1:54.5  act in vain. He cannot be alone in anything. It is therefore in my  power to change every mind along with mine, for mine is the power of
W1:54.5  in my power to change every mind along with mine, for mine is the  power of God.
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  and nothingness arise. The will you share with God has all the  power of creation in it. The ego's idle wishes are unshared and
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
W1:93.5  nor reduced eternal sinlessness to sin and love to hate. What  power can this self you made possess when it would contradict the
W1:95.10  for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it  power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are
W1:95.10  it, rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we give it  power to do this, we are regarding it as strength and are confusing
W1:95.11  your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in  power and in peace.
W1:95.13  Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in  power and in peace.
W1:95.17 You are One Self, complete and healed and whole, with  power to lift the veil of darkness from the world and let the light
W1:96.5  mind which serves the Spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its  power comes from Spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function
W1:97.6  He knows they will be welcome. And they will increase in healing  power each time someone accepts them as his thoughts and uses them to
W1:97.10  Spirit will accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its  power, and give it back to you.
W1:99.16 You have a special message for today which has the  power to remove all forms of doubt and fear forever from your mind.
W1:100.10  of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What little thought has  power to hold you back? What foolish goal can keep you from success
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
W1:110.8  brother to the world—the savior who has been forever saved, with  power to save whoever touches Him however lightly, asking for the

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

W1:136.15 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.

W1:159.5 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

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: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: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:Day34.8  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

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

W1:10.8  for any thought that distresses you at any time. In addition, five  practice periods are recommended, each involving no more than a

W1:11.4 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

W1:37.4  longer exercise periods, each to involve three to five minutes of  practice, begin with the repetition of the idea for today followed by

W1:43.12 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

W1:97.1  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
W1:164.9  surely want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very day.  Practice in earnest, and the gift is yours. Would God deceive you?
W1:165.7  Practice today in hope. For hope indeed is justified. Your doubts are
W1:165.7  God and not upon ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we  practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our
W1:R5.7  if we keep in mind that This remains our goal, and as we  practice, it is This to which we are approaching. Let us raise our
W1:R5.10 Release me as you  practice once again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees
W1:R5.12  it. You are His Son, completing His extension in your own. We  practice but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed to claim
W1:R5.14  each day of our review. With this we start and end each period of  practice time. And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again
W1:R5.15  but aids and to be used, except at the beginning and the end of  practice periods, but to recall the mind as needed to its purpose. We
W1:R5.15  to its purpose. We place faith in the experience that comes from  practice, not the means we use. We wait for the experience and
W1:I2.1  for total dedication all the time, as yet. But you are asked to  practice now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified

W1:183.6  there an altar which reaches to God Himself and to His Son.  Practice but this today; repeat God's Name slowly again and still
W1:185.8 Today devote your  practice periods to careful searching of your mind to find the dreams
W1:188.8 We  practice coming nearer to the light in us today. We take our
W1:189.1  hidden from your sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we  practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world
W1:193.15  have been gone too long, and we would linger here no more. And as we  practice, let us think about all things we saved to settle by
W1:196.2  all things held in its sure protection, can be found in the idea we  practice for today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that
W1:196.9 Salvation's song can certainly be heard in the idea we  practice for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did not
W1:196.12  you and the holy peace of God. How kind and merciful is the idea we  practice! Give it welcome, as you should, for it is your release. It
W1:198.9 Today we  practice letting freedom come to make its home with you. The truth
W1:199.5 Cherish today's idea, and  practice it today and every day. Make it a part of every practice
W1:199.5  idea, and practice it today and every day. Make it a part of every  practice period you take. There is no thought that will not gain
W1:199.8  you live forever. Would you not return your mind to this? Then  practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your
W1:199.8  weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your  practice brings even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and
W1:R6.1 For this review, we take but one idea each day, and  practice it as often as is possible. Besides the time we give morning
W1:R6.3 These  practice sessions, like our last review, are centered round a central
W1:R6.5  world we see. Beyond this and a repetition of the special thought we  practice for the day, no form of exercise is urged except a deep

W1:R6.11  begin, and let us also not forget to Whom it has been given as we  practice day by day, advancing toward the goal He set for us,
W1:R6.11  to teach us how to go, and trusting Him completely for the way each  practice period can best become a loving gift of freedom to the world.
W2:I.10 Now is the need for  practice almost done. For in this final section we will come to

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  of the future, making them continuous without an intervening  present. For the ego uses the present only as a brief transition to

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:12.32  This interpretation ties the future to the present and extends the  present rather than the past. But if you interpret your function as

Tx:12.47  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: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: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:17.24  unholy alliance with the ego against the present. For the  present is forgiveness. Therefore, the relationships which the

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.

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

W1:181.10  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

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

W2:314.2 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

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.

W1:79.11 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

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:15.87  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: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:17.72  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  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.

W1:4.3  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

W1:25.1  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  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

W1:28.4 You will not question what we have already defined. And the  purpose of these exercises is to ask questions and receive the

W1:28.6  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

W1:37.1  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

W1:43.3  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

W1:61.8  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  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

W1:199.6  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

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

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: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: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:22.9  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: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: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

T1:4.21  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,

T3:18.3  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

T3:21.20  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

T4:4.17  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

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
