Tx:30.31  well is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you  want before it can occur. It is but this agreement which permits

Tx:30.32  one reminder that you keep in mind, and you will have the day you  want and give it to the world by having it yourself. Your judgment
Tx:30.34  will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not  want. He joins with you in willing you be free. And to oppose Him
Tx:30.38  as if you said, “I have no need of everything. This little thing I  want, and it will be as everything to me.” And this must fail to

W1:22.2 It is from this savage fantasy that you  want to escape. Is it not joyous news to hear that it is not real? Is

W1:23.2  thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you do not  want. There is no point in lamenting the world. There is no point in
W1:24.4  concerned. The emphasis should be on uncovering the outcome you  want. You will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in
W1:25.4  in your immediate vicinity. What you do not understand is what you  want to reach him for. And it is this that makes your contact with
W1:27.2  that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you say you  want to see above all else. If you become uneasy about the lack of
W1:27.7 The real question is how often will you remember? How much do you  want today's idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you
W1:28.2  wonder why it is important to say, for example, “Above all else I  want to see this table differently.” In itself it is not important at
W1:28.3 When you say, “Above all else I  want to see this table differently,” you are making a commitment to
W1:28.4  ask questions and receive the answers. In saying, “Above all else I  want to see this table differently,” you are committing yourself to
W1:28.9 Above all else, I  want to see this ______ differently.
W1:30.2  we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we  want to recognize is there. Thus we are trying to join with what we
W1:32.1  made it up. You will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you  want it, you will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be
W1:32.1  as you wish. While you want it, you will see it; when you no longer  want it, it will not be there for you to see.

W1:51.6  to defend a thought system which has hurt me and which I no longer  want. I am willing to let it go.
W1:56.3 [27] Above all else I  want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am,
W1:56.4 [28] Above all else I  want to see differently. The world I see holds my fearful self-image
W1:57.3  of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer  want. The Son of God must be forever free. He is as God created him,
W1:61.4 You will  want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the
W1:61.8  periods may be longer than the rest if you find them helpful and  want to extend them.
W1:62.9 I would remember this because I  want to be happy.
W1:65.11  your conflicts once and for all, and the extent to which you really  want salvation in spite of your own foolish ideas to the contrary.
W1:65.13 My only function is the one God gave me. I  want no other and I have no other.
W1:69.6  to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how much you  want to reach the light in you today—now. Determine to go past the
W1:69.9 In the shorter practice periods, which you will  want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of today's
W1:69.10  the light of the world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I  want to let it be revealed to me for my salvation and the salvation
W1:70.6 God wants us to be healed, and we do not really  want to be sick, because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting
W1:70.6  the idea for today, we are in agreement with God. He does not  want us to be sick. Neither do we. He wants us to be healed. So do we.
W1:70.13 Since all illusions of salvation have failed you, surely you do not  want to remain in the clouds looking vainly for idols there when you
W1:73.6  you and your salvation. The reason is very simple. Do you really  want to be in hell? Do you really want to weep and suffer and die?
W1:73.6  is very simple. Do you really want to be in hell? Do you really  want to weep and suffer and die? Forget the ego's arguments which
W1:73.6  prove all this is really Heaven. You know it is not so. You cannot  want this for yourself. There is a point beyond which illusions
W1:73.7 Suffering is not happiness, and it is happiness you really  want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as
W1:73.7  is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as well. You  want to succeed in what we are trying to do today. We undertake it
W1:73.8  in it. You have no will that can really oppose it, and you do not  want to do so. Salvation is for you. Above all else you want the
W1:73.8  you do not want to do so. Salvation is for you. Above all else you  want the freedom to remember who you really are.
W1:73.15  practice periods, again make a declaration of what you really  want. Say:
W1:75.3  forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new world as what we  want to see. We will be given what we desire. We will to see the
W1:75.4  looking at the world which our forgiveness shows us. This is what we  want to see, and only this. Our single purpose makes our goal
W1:77.11 I will not trade miracles for grievances. I  want only what belongs to me. God has established miracles as my
W1:R2.3  you will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you and that you  want it. Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting
W1:85.2  there and hide from me what I would see. Recognizing this, what do I  want my grievances for? They keep me in darkness and hide the light.
W1:85.2  must be joined for me to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside. I  want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed.
W1:85.4  of the world will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I  want to see.
W1:89.5  for my salvation. I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. I  want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to have.
W1:91.5  instruct yourself that you are not a body. Faith goes to what you  want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. Your will remains your

W1:99.15  and peace. You cannot lose the gifts your Father gave. You do not  want to be another self. You have no function that is not of God.
W1:102.1 You do not  want to suffer. You may think it buys you something and may still
W1:102.1  something and may still believe a little that it buys you what you  want. Yet this belief is surely shaken now, at least enough to let
W1:104.9  belongs to me in truth. God's gifts of joy and peace are all I  want.
W1:106.1  not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really  want; if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told you
W1:R3.4 Those practice periods which you have lost because you did not  want to do them for whatever reason should be done as soon as you
W1:116.3  my Father's Will for me, His Son. What He has given me is all I  want. What He has given me is all there is.

W1:129.3  and know they have no ending, and they will remain exactly as you  want them throughout time?
W1:129.5  And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the world you  want. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant's space

W1:129.8 Beyond this world there is a world I  want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing

W1:130.1  Your values are determiners of this, for what you value you must  want to see, believing what you see is really there. No one can see a

W1:130.8  beyond your own, and recognize what it is you seek. You do not  want illusions. And you come to these five minutes emptying your

W1:131.5  Heaven and must find the goal you really want. No one can fail to  want this goal and reach it in the end. God's Son cannot seek vainly,
W1:131.6  because it has been taken from you. It will go because you do not  want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God

W1:131.15  goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door you really  want, and only what lies past it do you seek.
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
W1:132.3  free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not  want to find. The present now remains the only time. Here in the
W1:132.5  herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you  want to see, and all the world must change accordingly.
W1:133.3  we list the real criteria by which to test all things you think you  want. Unless they meet these sound requirements, they are not worth
W1:135.9  which the mind can operate until its usefulness is over. Who would  want to keep it when its usefulness is done?
W1:138.1  between. We think that all things have an opposite, and what we  want we choose. If Heaven exists, there must be hell as well, for
W1:138.12  we close the day with this, acknowledging we chose but what we  want:

W1:164.9  see the value your acceptance gives the world. But this you surely  want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very day. Practice
W1:165.5  desire. You need not be sure that you request the only thing you  want. But when you have received, you will be sure you have the
W1:I2.2  words become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you  want and what is valueless.
W1:181.9  we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we  want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of true
W1:185.2  changed should any two agree these words express the only thing they  want.
W1:185.5 To mean you  want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means
W1:185.7  practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say. We  want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These words do not
W1:185.10 You  want the peace of God. And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For
W1:185.10  request with deep sincerity. For thus you reach to what they really  want and join your own intent with what they seek above all things,
W1:190.6  to change your mind and choose the joy of God as what you really  want. Your Self is radiant in this holy joy, unchanged, unchanging,
W1:196.7  to some extent to you. From there you can at least consider if you  want to go along this painful path. Until this shift has been
W1:196.9  the most is your salvation. You are strong, and it is strength you  want. And you are free and glad of freedom. You have sought to be
W1:200.11  in them. 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
W1:R6.9 This thought I do not  want. I choose instead….
W1:205.1 [185] I  want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want. The
W1:205.1 [185] I want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I  want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here,
W2:225.1  and You have given all Your love to me. I must return it, for I  want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind, and keeping it
W2:226.1  But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I  want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me.
W2:231.1  or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really  want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the
W2:242.2  wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we  want. Give us what You would have received by us. You know all our
W2:242.2  all our desires and our needs. And You will give us everything we  want and that will help us find the way to You.
W2:251.1  what I need. All that I sought before I needed not and did not even  want. My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I need
W2:251.1  I everything that I could need. Now have I everything that I could  want. And now at last I find myself at peace.
W2:253.1  What happens is what I desire. What does not occur is what I do not  want to happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led past this world
W2:254.2  step back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not  want what they would bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep
W2:257.1  great depression. Let us therefore be determined to remember what we  want today that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully
W2:258.2  the way that leads to You. We have no goal but this. What could we  want but to remember You? What could we seek but our Identity?
W2:271.1 Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I  want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I

W2:297.1 Forgiveness is the only gift I give because it is the only gift I  want, and everything I give I give myself. This is salvation's simple

W2:339.1  the state he would attain. What can he then request that he would  want when he receives it? He has asked for what will frighten him and
W2:339.1  bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to ask for what we really  want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness,
W2:347.1 Father, I  want what goes against my will and do not want what is my will to
W2:347.1 Father, I want what goes against my will and do not  want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my Father. It is
W2:349.1  my own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I  want to give. Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept
W2:358.1 You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really  want. You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give
W2:358.1  God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I  want is what You offer me, in just the form You chose that it be
W2:E.2  Him Whom you accepted as your Voice, to speak of what you really  want and really need. His is the Voice for God, and also yours. And
M:I.2  might be said to provide you with a means of choosing what you  want to teach on the basis of what you want to learn. You cannot give

C:31.15  that you are your future, your glory, your potential. You neither  want to share your most negative nor your most positive thoughts

T1:10.2  You will wonder at the lack of extremes in your feelings and  want to bring them back. You will experience this loss of extremes as

T2:9.19  ability and a timesaving measure of great magnitude. As these old  ways of thinking leave you, you will be left as who you are in truth.
T2:10.2 Thinking that needs can be met only in certain  ways is akin to another belief that has been replaced. This belief
T2:10.14 This voice speaks to you in a thousand  ways. It is the voice of love, the voice of creation, the voice of
T2:11.1  for this truth. This forgiveness has now extended in two distinct  ways. First in forgiving your Creator for creating you in such a way,

T3:16.3  have been the ways of creation in the thought system of the ego,  ways that have brought much advancement to the forms you occupy
T3:16.4  than you have ever been. While your life may not have changed in  ways that you would like and while its limitations may seem even more
T3:19.10  body's response to the new thought system will be different in many  ways, none of which will lead you to feel that you have lost anything
T3:19.11  to be. Thus those continuing to express themselves in harmful  ways are deeply entrenched in false beliefs about themselves. Because

T4:5.11  you in form, to make the choice to be who you are. You are shown in  ways that the body's eyes were unable to see, the glory of your true

T2:2.9  a calling would indicate. You think what prevents you from being  who you are is far broader than a division between mind and heart.
T2:3.1  are living and the life you want lies in your willingness to express  who you are.
T2:4.3  to act within the world as who you think you are rather than as  who you are, you have not integrated these two pieces of learning.
T2:4.4  addresses. This Treatise is attempting to show you how to live as  who you are, how to act within the world as the new Self you have
T2:4.4  of moving on land, so too is the new way of acting out or expressing  who you are quite inconsistent with the way in which you have
T2:4.4  with the way in which you have formerly acted out or expressed  who you are. This is, of course, because you formerly acted out of a
T2:4.12  you thought would bring you fulfillment. This is about recognizing  who you are now. This is not a quick fix that calls you to what might
T2:4.12  are concerned with who you have thought yourself to be, not with  who you are. They do not recognize the difference between thinking
T2:4.13 Being  who you are is what you are called to do. You are here asked to live
T2:4.13  air. You are asked to live a life where there is no division between  who you are and what you do. This place of no division is the place
T2:4.14  now. However, to accept where you are is not the same as accepting  who you are. Accepting where you are, as if it is a static place at
T2:4.14  which you have arrived, is not the goal that has been set. Accepting  who you are includes acceptance of creation. The acceptance of
T2:4.18  in a time of waiting for you hear no such call. The call is to be  who you are and this is happening at lightning speed, a speed that
T2:5.1  present where response is able to be given. All call you “back” to  who you are.
T2:5.7  that assist you in integrating this learning and making it one with  who you are. These lessons will bring who you are into focus within
T2:5.7  and making it one with who you are. These lessons will bring  who you are into focus within your mind through the vehicle of your
T2:6.6  that presumes a future in which you will be someone other than  who you are in the present. Unity exists only in the here and now of
T2:6.9  world. You are changing from who you have thought yourself to be to  who you are.
T2:7.10  has not called you to a static state of sameness, an acceptance of  who you are that does not allow for change. But once you have become
T2:7.10  does not allow for change. But once you have become happier with  who you are, you will, if left un-schooled, turn your attention to
T2:7.11  prevent this is your ability to go out into the world and remain  who you are. This relates to giving and receiving being one in truth
T2:7.13  to do good. This is not about doing good works. This is about being  who you are and seeing the truth rather than the illusion that
T2:7.16  from who you truly are. Real trust requires the discipline of being  who you are in every circumstance and in every relationship. Real
T2:7.18  Who you are cannot be denied in favor of who you “will be.” Needs
T2:7.19 The discipline required to be  who you are is a discipline that requires trust in Self and honesty
T2:7.21  simply an aspect of your identity and accepted as the nature of  who you are in truth.
T2:8.1  are special. Your loyalty must be totally to the truth of  who you are and not continue to be split by special relationships.
T2:8.2  ground on which you now stand. All that prevents you from being  who you are within these relationships must be let go. All that will
T2:8.2  within these relationships must be let go. All that will complement  who you are must be received. Thus the nature of many relationships
T2:8.3 While your dedication to the goal of being  who you are may at first seem selfish, it will soon be revealed to be
T2:8.3  form of relationship. Relationship based on anything other than  who you are is but a mockery of relationship. The calls that come to
T2:8.3  as signs and demands will not only aid you in your realization of  who you are and your ability to live as who you are, but will aid all
T2:8.3  you in your realization of who you are and your ability to live as  who you are, but will aid all others. This is giving and receiving as
T2:8.4  and but take the form of honesty for a brief time as the truth of  who you are is revealed to you and through your relationships to all.
T2:8.6  A Course of Love that the truth does not change. Thus the truth of  who you are has not changed and you are as you were created. Form and
T2:8.6  behavior are, however, subject to change, as are your expressions of  who you are. This distinction must be fully realized here in order
T2:8.6  must be fully realized here in order for you to accept the truth of  who you are and to come to an acceptance of the unchangeable nature
T2:8.6  realm of the already accomplished. This is home. Your expression of  who you are may lead you to many new adventures but never again to
T2:8.6  your true Self. Never again will you be away from home for home is  who you are, a “place” you carry within you, a place that is you.
T2:9.11  you have arises. This is true of knowledge, or what you know, and of  who you are, just as much as it is of special relationships and what
T2:9.19  As these old ways of thinking leave you, you will be left as  who you are in truth.
T2:10.10  The learning you are in need of is the learning that will call  who you are back to your united mind and heart. This is the knowing
T2:10.14  you to move through each day and all the experiences within it as  who you are in truth. It releases you from the feeling of needing to
T2:11.1  is how you were created and how you remain. This is the truth of  who you are and even, in your own terms, a fact of your existence.
T2:11.1  Earlier this was pointed out to you so that you would come to accept  who you are and so that you would extend forgiveness to yourself and
T2:11.1  in forgiving a world that has taught you to want to be other than  who you are. Now our aim is to show you how to integrate the belief
T2:11.2 Even though you no longer want to be other than  who you are, and even though you now have a much clearer
T2:11.2  are, and even though you now have a much clearer understanding of  who you are, you will find living as who you are in the world
T2:11.2  a much clearer understanding of who you are, you will find living as  who you are in the world difficult as long as you perceive of others
T2:11.16  to both identities the world will not change and you will not know  who you are. You may think you know, and you may waste much time in
T2:12.6  the end for the need of miracles. For as you live in the world as  who you are, you become a miracle and the constant expression of the
T2:12.11  the ego would tell you that you are, it still would thwart you being  who you are through its denial of the relationships essential to that
T2:12.13  one with you so that they enable you to live and express and act as  who you are in every moment and in every circumstance. Let these
T2:12.13  brothers and sisters. Let this way of living be the expression of  who you are and all that you now remember. Let this remembrance grow
T2:13.6  is of the ego. Drape your persona in a mantle of peace and joy. Let  who you are shine through the personal self who continues to walk
T3:1.1  personal self again and present to others a true representation of  who you are.
T3:1.4  personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will become  who you are in truth.
T3:1.6  under the ego's direction, still allowed for bits and pieces of  who you are to be seen, felt and acknowledged.
T3:1.8  will be acknowledged as what it is and as the truth of  who you are, to erroneously have seen your former representation of
T3:1.8  have seen your former representation of illusion as the truth of  who you are is what has led to your perception of the world of
T3:2.1  in relationship. They are not expressions that remain contained to  who you are or who you think yourself to be. They are not expressions
T3:2.6  behind. It is only this one, unaltered Self that is the truth of  who you are and who your brothers and sisters are as well. This is
T3:3.8  to the new life that calls to you. You can only get there by being  who you are in truth.
T3:3.10 The Self that I recognize as You, is not other than  who you are, but who you are. All that was ever other than who you
T3:3.10 The Self that I recognize as You, is not other than who you are, but  who you are. All that was ever other than who you are was the ego.
T3:3.10  than who you are, but who you are. All that was ever other than  who you are was the ego. The ego is gone. The ego was simply your
T3:4.6  it not make sense that the only error possible is that of not being  who you are?
T3:7.2  to the truth. Since there are no beliefs that represent the truth of  who you are and who God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you
T3:7.4 You are  who you are and remain endlessly who you are, even here within the
T3:7.4 You are who you are and remain endlessly  who you are, even here within the human experience. This is the idea
T3:7.5  within the human experience that made you incapable of representing  who you are in truth was the ego. The only thing within the human
T3:7.5  the ego gone, you are perfectly capable of representing the truth of  who you are and returning to an existence that is meaningful.
T3:7.6 You have formerly been capable of representing  who you are only within illusion for this was the abode in which you
T3:11.16  the thought system of the truth, that having remembered the truth of  who you are, you are called to forget the personal self who would
T3:12.8  choice that was made for the human experience, the choice to express  who you are in the realm of physicality. You were not “better” or
T3:12.8  the result of fear, some the result of love. The choice to express  who you are in physical terms was not a choice made of fear but made
T3:13.1  our new purpose, that of the miracle that will allow you to exist as  who you are in human form, we may proceed unencumbered by any doubt
T3:13.2  the peace of God draw you from the state in which you are aware of  who you are, and so cause you to be aware only of a self of human
T3:14.3  if you refuse to live by what you know—if you refuse to live as  who you are.
T3:14.5  of good news you may have forgotten: You would not be other than  who you are. This is a key idea that will help you immeasurably in
T3:14.5  your old thought system was based, you still would not be other than  who you are. What this means to the learning stage you are at now is
T3:14.5  them to be other than who they are. There is nothing wrong with  who you are!
T3:15.17 While you would not be other than  who you are, who you are is not limited to the concept of human being
T3:15.17 While you would not be other than who you are,  who you are is not limited to the concept of human being nor to the
T3:16.8  the world as The Accomplished and cease struggling to be other than  who you are in truth. This struggling to be other than who you are in
T3:16.8  be other than who you are in truth. This struggling to be other than  who you are in truth is a temptation of the human experience. It will
T3:16.15  of love's embrace. If you but live by the idea that representing  who you are in truth will create a new heaven on earth, you can lay
T3:17.6  But again let me remind you that the Holy Spirit is not other than  who you are but an aspect of who you are and Who God Is. Let me
T3:17.6  that the Holy Spirit is not other than who you are but an aspect of  who you are and Who God Is. Let me remind you also that names, such
T3:18.3  serve our new purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as  who you are in human form. See what perfect sense this makes as your
T3:18.4 Expressing  who you are in physical form will return remembrance to the minds of
T3:19.11  to arise from bodily temptations. Although you will now represent  who you are in physical form in a new way, you can still see that
T3:19.14  moved to believe that they mean anything at all about the nature of  who you are. This is why no more time can be wasted and why so many
T3:20.4  you that the miracle is the most effective way of convincing you of  who you are.
T3:20.11  to be lived by. Not because you desire an outcome, but because it is  who you are and because you realize you can no longer be, live, or
T3:20.11  you realize you can no longer be, live, or think as other than  who you are in truth. This is how thorough your learning must be. It
T3:20.17  ways of illusion and shine the light of truth for all to see. Remain  who you are and continue to live by the laws of love in every
T3:21.12  or talent developed is seen as part of your identity, as part of  who you are.
T3:21.13  You think of these things as part of what make up the totality of  who you are, of your personal self.
T3:21.19  purpose, the purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as  who you are in human form. How, you might rightly ask, can you cease
T3:21.24  of the truth. That you each will do this in ways unique to  who you are must be further addressed and seen as it relates to the
T3:22.4 Since your personal self was always meant to represent the truth of  who you are, the seeds of who you are, are planted there, right
T3:22.4  was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, the seeds of  who you are, are planted there, right within the self you have always
T3:22.4  been within you, however, a creative tension between accepting  who you are and becoming who you want to be. This tension will
T4:2.7  accomplished than anyone has been or is or will be. The truth of  who you are is as accomplished as the truth of all of your brothers
T4:2.15  of this Course, you are not other than whom you have always been.  Who you are now was there when you were a child, and there in all the
T4:3.5  effort that has continued the cycle of fear. To have to try to be  who you are and to express who you are is the result of the
T4:3.5  the cycle of fear. To have to try to be who you are and to express  who you are is the result of the displacement of the nature of love
T4:5.9  It is thus probable that you will use your free will in order to be  who you are. But it is not guaranteed! It is your choice and your
T4:5.11  upon the death of your human form. When you die, you do not die to  who you are or who you think you are. You do not die to choice. At
T4:5.11  ways not formerly possible to you in form, to make the choice to be  who you are. You are shown in ways that the body's eyes were unable
T4:8.14  of expansion and enrichment of your being. If it is only in sharing  who you are through expression of who you are that you come to know
T4:8.14  being. If it is only in sharing who you are through expression of  who you are that you come to know who you are, then this is true of
T4:8.14  who you are through expression of who you are that you come to know  who you are, then this is true of God as well. God could not be the
T4:8.16  only instance in which this is the truth is in regards to learning  who you are.
T4:9.4  and desire. Now is the time to move out of the time of becoming  who you are to the time of being who you are.
T4:9.4  to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of being  who you are.
T4:10.11  now ready to do. Learning was what was necessary in order to know  who you are and how to express who you are. No longer learning, or
T4:10.11  what was necessary in order to know who you are and how to express  who you are. No longer learning, or being accomplished, is synonymous
T4:10.11  longer learning, or being accomplished, is synonymous with knowing  who you are and the ability to express who you are in truth.
T4:10.11  is synonymous with knowing who you are and the ability to express  who you are in truth.
T4:10.14  about who you were and who others were, but you cannot learn anymore  who you are or who those are who have joined you in
T4:10.14  are who have joined you in Christ-consciousness, for you have become  who you are and move on from this starting point to creating who you
T4:10.14  become who you are and move on from this starting point to creating  who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can learn from the
T4:12.10  the release of this idea will make in your capacity to express  who you are. As long as you continue to invite learning, you will
T4:12.34  sense when you realize that creation, like God, is not “other than”  who you are? How could creation proceed on to the new without you?
D:1.26  identity cannot be taught but is the condition necessary for being  who you are and the realization that learning is no longer necessary.
D:2.2  and effect are one. You are asked to accept or receive the truth of  who you are and the revelations that will show you how to live as who
D:2.2  of who you are and the revelations that will show you how to live as  who you are within the world—and you are asked to refuse to accept
D:2.2  who you are within the world—and you are asked to refuse to accept  who you are not and the ways of life that allowed you to live within
D:2.4  of this pattern will but interfere with your full acceptance of  who you are in truth.
D:2.6  have now completed, learning that has revealed the true nature of  who you are, your inability to realize your completion and claim your
D:2.19  world without. These systems were attempts to learn the nature of  who you are through external means—the means of learning the nature
D:3.12  receiving are one in truth. A shared consciousness is the truth of  who you are. The elevation of the personal self, however, requires
D:3.13 Helping you to achieve full awareness of  who you are is different than helping you to learn. As was said
D:4.6 I tell you truthfully that until you are living as  who you are and are doing what you love, you are in prison. This
D:4.20  keep you safe. Do not seek someone to tell you anew what to do with  who you are now that you are no longer a prisoner. Do not give keys
D:4.22  living by doing work that brings you no joy and allows you not to be  who you are, then you are called to walk away. If you are tempted by
D:4.22  security, and are called to turn away. If you are lured away from  who you are by a drive to succeed, if you fear doing what you want to
D:4.31  fully accept that your right to your inheritance, your right to be  who you are, and your commitment to the Covenant of the New, are one
D:5.8  The ego but seemed to be who you were for a time. Now that you know  who you are in truth, the ego does not remain, a separate entity with
D:5.11  acceptance of what is given. All was given to you to remind you of  who you are in the time of learning that is now passing away. Thus
D:5.11  return to being as it was intended and will represent the truth of  who you are. This true representation, being of the truth, returns
D:5.19  as what it is. This is the new reality you have desired. To live as  who you are in form. To not wait for death's release but to find
D:6.22  it is also the form that is now serving to represent the truth of  who you are. How might this change the “laws” of the body, the laws
D:7.6  in other words from the state in which there is no division between  who you are and what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of
D:7.17  self of form. It is a step toward full acceptance and awareness of  who you are now and what this means as you become the elevated Self
D:8.4  time of learning as coming from the content of the wider circle of  who you are to infiltrate the dot of the body, or, conversely, as the
D:9.3 You continue to think that your desire to know  who you are calls you to think about who you are and in that thinking
D:9.3  think that your desire to know who you are calls you to think about  who you are and in that thinking to come up with a definition of who
D:9.3  who you are and in that thinking to come up with a definition of  who you are, a truth of who you are, a certainty about who you are.
D:9.3  thinking to come up with a definition of who you are, a truth of  who you are, a certainty about who you are. You have been led to see
D:9.3  definition of who you are, a truth of who you are, a certainty about  who you are. You have been led to see that this desire has always
D:9.4 But you have thought about this desire to know  who you are in one way or another all of your life without reaching
D:9.6  it remains the truth, can now be presented in a way that speaks to  who you are now rather than who you were when you began A Course of
D:11.6  now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of  who you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution
D:11.11  and prevents it from going from being an ability to simply being  who you are, is your thoughts—thoughts that need an explanation for
D:11.13  give evidence of who I am because they give evidence that I know  who you are. That these words give evidence that I know who you are
D:11.13  that I know who you are. That these words give evidence that I know  who you are and that they give the same evidence to your brothers and
D:11.13  that I know who they are, will tell you something of the nature of  who you are if you but let this idea dwell within you and take up
D:13.2  those who remain in a separate state except through the sharing of  who you are and who you know others to be. There are two issues of
D:13.11  those who remain in a separate state except through the sharing of  who you are and who you know others to be. All this means is that
D:13.12  is what negates the need for such intermediary functions. By being  who you are, and seeing others as who they truly are, you create the
D:14.12  of birthing new aspects of the self, all without becoming more fully  who you are.
D:16.1  are now in the final stage of the state of becoming. You now know  who you are, and so now you can begin the work, or the relationship
D:16.1  work, or the relationship of this final stage: The stage of becoming  who you are. This is the stage in which movement, being, and
D:16.9  without allowing spirit to move you, without allowing yourself to be  who you are, without allowing for self-expression. You might think
D:16.10  the New”, that “Now is the time to move out of the time of becoming  who you are to the time of being who you are,” it was not said that
D:16.10  to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of being  who you are,” it was not said that this time of becoming was
D:16.13  you can create a new world. The new you is the elevated Self of form  who you are in the process of becoming. This time of becoming is the
D:16.13  the movement, being, and expression of unity, you are being  who you are. At other times, you are becoming who you are.
D:16.13  unity, you are being who you are. At other times, you are becoming  who you are.
D:16.15  form; that times still exist in which you are not wholly present as  who you are.
D:16.16 When you are not wholly present as  who you are, you are experiencing, still, the image or after-image of
D:16.16  you are, you are experiencing, still, the image or after-image of  who you are. This image is like a lingering shadow. It encompasses
D:16.17  as in clay, or a reflection, as in a mirror. It is as removed from  who you are as is the picture of an ancestor or a landscape that
D:16.20  you are not fully here, not whole, not complete. You are at times  who you are, but you also are, at times, but an image of who you have
D:17.14  now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of  who you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution
D:Day1.3  Without your acceptance of who I am, you will not fully accept  who you are. Without your willingness to achieve this acceptance, you
D:Day2.21  is symbolic of the idea put forth here that until you are aware of  who you are, your life has not literally or symbolically begun.
D:Day4.27 To know the basic truth of  who you are—that you are a being who exists in unity rather than in
D:Day4.27  the access that you seek. As all that exists in truth, the truth of  who you are is means and end as well.
D:Day4.29  longing and desire. For this access is not a tool but a function of  who you are. This access is, like breathing, something that is
D:Day4.53  love, you will have realized there is nothing unacceptable about  who you are except fear.
D:Day5.14  of union that your Self will come to wholeness and you will be fully  who you are and able to express love fully.
D:Day5.17  Who you are now, what your desires are, and where your talents have
D:Day5.17  or one specific type of idealized holy person. Union is being fully  who you are and expressing fully who you are. This is the miracle,
D:Day5.17  holy person. Union is being fully who you are and expressing fully  who you are. This is the miracle, the goal, the accomplishment that
D:Day6.11  there is no distinction between Creator and created. You are being  who you are right now and eliciting the expression that will take you
D:Day6.30  growth of your ability to do whatever you do peacefully and to be  who you are in any situation in which you find yourself. There is no
D:Day6.31  through you as you allow for and accept where you are right now and  who you are right now.
D:Day8.2  normal, ordinary, life into extraordinary life. Loving exactly  who you are and where you are in every moment is what will cause the
D:Day8.8  acceptance—not acceptance of the way things are, but acceptance of  who you are in the present. Not through acceptance of the way you
D:Day8.10  specific action but it will lead to action that is consistent with  who you are when you are fully comfortable in your acceptance of who
D:Day8.10  who you are when you are fully comfortable in your acceptance of  who you are. Understand, however, that this eventual outcome will
D:Day8.13  your righteous contempt for the actions of others, but to accept  who you are within the relationship of that present moment.
D:Day8.14  will find yourself adhering to a standard rather than acting from  who you are. You will, in fact, have returned to judgment because you
D:Day8.17  you are—for only by doing so will you come to full acceptance of  who you are and be able to allow the Self of unity to merge with the
D:Day8.22  forth that feeling. It is in the expression of that feeling that  who you are is revealed, not in the feeling itself. The feeling is
D:Day8.28  you to expression of your true Self! To true representation of  who you are—who you are now!
D:Day8.28  of your true Self! To true representation of who you are— who you are now!
D:Day9.15  called the future. As with all messages of the ego, it but says that  who you are is not good enough.
D:Day9.25  the givens that combined create the wholeness and the holiness of  who you are. A creator who desired only sameness would not have
D:Day9.25  form that is perfect for your expression of the beauty and truth of  who you are. You cannot express the beauty and truth of who another
D:Day9.25  truth of a future self. You can only express the beauty and truth of  who you are now, in the present. And you do. You just have not
D:Day9.27  has been able to keep you from expressing the beauty and truth of  who you are. You came into the world of form incapable of not
D:Day9.27  world of form incapable of not expressing the beauty and truth of  who you are. That you are is an expression of beauty and truth. You
D:Day9.27  expression of beauty and truth. You express the beauty and truth of  who you are by being alive. It has only been your inability to accept
D:Day9.27  In a certain sense, your ability to express the beauty and truth of  who you are has been taught out of you by learning practices that
D:Day9.30  and the will to fan the flames of your desire to be, and to express,  who you are in truth.
D:Day16.7  feelings, rather than your thoughts about your feelings, reflect  who you are, and that by acting on them, you will act in accord with
D:Day16.7  who you are, and that by acting on them, you will act in accord with  who you are and thus in accord with the universe. The reintegration
D:Day16.10  anger, and all else that you feel because these feelings are part of  who you are in the present moment. When you remain in the present
D:Day17.3  the time, once again, for you to claim your identity. Although being  who you are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still await
D:Day17.3  discussed in many ways, many of you still await being different than  who you are. This is because you realize that being your true Self is
D:Day19.1  a way of living as the ultimate accomplishment. You see living as  who you are in the world as the accomplishment that is needed from
D:Day19.4 Being content is being fulfilled by the way in which you express  who you are—by the way you express your content—your wholeness.
D:Day19.5 The ultimate accomplishment is living as  who you are within the world. But in what kind of world? This is the
D:Day19.6  lies in the simple statement of as within, so without. By living as  who you are in the world, you create change in the world. You create
D:Day23.1 Forget not that  who you are is what you are here to make known and thus you must be a
D:Day27.8  lose its dualistic seeming nature and become as intrinsic to  who you are as is breathing. In this same way, the dualistic seeming
D:Day27.13 That you are  who you are and that you have always been the accomplished is a
D:Day27.13  and an aspect of wholeness. The variability of how you experience  who you are is also a constant within the aspect of separation. Merge
D:Day29.1  God and man, life and the individuated self, what you do and  who you are, the eternal and the temporal, joy and sadness, sickness
D:Day29.4  reality in which you exist. Another way of saying this is bringing  who you are into wholeness, which can be interpreted both as bringing
D:Day29.7  reality. It is linked with your notion of who and where you are, for  who you are and where you find yourself, and experience yourself, are
D:Day33.5  that make up your world appeal. It is in your response that  who you are being is revealed.
D:Day33.7 You might think of being as what you are, and responding as  who you are. You have been told that these words are being given to
D:Day33.10  way that you can do this is by always knowing and never forgetting  who you are. You are being in relationship: The creator of events as
D:Day33.10  this is so. It is when you know that this is so, and you also know  who you are, that you know with certainty that the only response is
D:Day33.14  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 is the force
D:Day35.20  to create in unity and relationship, you will do so by simply being  who you are being, just as you have “created” during the time of your
D:Day36.19  together is coming to an end and your acceptance of the truth of  who you are and who you can be is essential to the accomplishment of
D:Day36.19  stands in the way of your creatorship is your final acceptance of  who you are in unity and relationship.
D:Day37.2  that God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define  who you are any better than the earlier example of your experiences
D:Day37.2  any better than the earlier example of your experiences would define  who you are, because being, by itself, does not differentiate or
D:Day37.3  separate being, you only relate to other separate things. In short,  who you are being is all predicated, first and foremost, by the
D:Day37.5  and separate way—a way that does not represent the truth of  who you are, or what relationship is—a way that represents
D:Day37.18  can find great joy in feeling “as if” someone knows how you feel and  who you are. But you have felt doomed to never being known and to
D:Day38.13 Who I Am to you, and  who you are to me, is all that matters. Our relationship can only be
D:Day39.3  extension of I Am into form. Through your extension, you can become  who you are to me, instead of who I have been to you.
D:Day39.30  celebrity, intellect? Then these things have become the content of  who you are. Science, money, fame, celebrity, intellect or any other
D:Day39.34  will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who I am and  who you are? What memory has this Course and this Dialogue returned
D:Day39.36 Who Am I to you? Only  who you are to yourself. Now it is time for you to be not who you
D:Day39.36  Now it is time for you to be not who you have been to yourself, but  who you are, and have been, to me.
D:Day39.37 Here is where we must return to paradox, to knowing  who you are and who I Am and to constantly discovering who you are
D:Day39.37  to knowing who you are and who I Am and to constantly discovering  who you are and who I Am, because who you are and who I Am are the
D:Day39.37  I Am and to constantly discovering who you are and who I Am, because  who you are and who I Am are the same being in the constant creative
D:Day39.38 This is a time of knowing  who you are and who I Am while at the same time, holding, or
D:Day40.1  union, you complete a circuit, a circle of wholeness, and I become  who you are to me. Thus giving and receiving are one. Cause and
D:Day40.2 All that being is was extended into  who you are.
D:Day40.6  of your being, what you might call your personality or even  who you are. As has been said before, you saw these attributes of
D:Day40.8  You extend your being into form. That form then becomes. It becomes  who you are. Both beings and thus both extensions are the same. The
D:Day40.15  to you am I God. Only in your relationship to me are you  who you are in truth.
D:Day40.16  or son, husband or wife, sister or brother, friend or foe? You are  who you are in relationship. I Am who I Am in relationship as well.
D:Day40.17 You would perhaps beg to differ now, and ask of me, “Are you not  who you are ‘separately’ from relationship?” Separately from
D:Day40.18  beg to differ here, and say that regardless of what I say, you are  who you are outside of your relationships. You are not just the
D:Day40.25  now, as you contemplate leaving behind who you have been for being  who you are to me?
D:Day40.26  yesterday's discussion of who I Am to you and today's discussion of  who you are to me, that one has not been discussed without the other.
D:Day40.27  I Am everything being love? This is not the same as saying you are  who you are in relationship to your mother, and your mother who she
D:Day40.27  who she is in relationship to you. This is saying that you are  who you are in relationship to all that is love. This is saying that
D:Day40.27  are in relationship to all that is love. This is saying that this is  who you are and that this is who I Am.
D:Day40.28 Further, this is saying that  who you are being in relationship to all that is love is up to you.
D:Day40.28  knowing being to all that you are in relationship with, you extend  who you are. This is saying that through the application of your
D:Day40.29  Who you are being in union and relationship with me, is me, as well
D:Day40.30  gift of all. It is the end of becoming and the beginning of being  who you are. With this gift comes the ability to be known and to
D:Day40.34  to level ground—to the place of completion and demonstration of  who you are being?
E.2  gone, never to be asked again. Why? Because now that you are being  who you are in unity and relationship, these questions will make no
E.9  desire arises, into all-being. Mainly you will enjoy being—being  who you are. You will be happy. You will be content. And you will
E.14 You will no longer need to “think” about  who you are and what you will do, and your willingness to give up
E.20 Do not be afraid now to be  who you are. Do not think you need to be something different,
E.22 If you will but let it come, you will see that you are being  who you are being for a reason, for a purpose, a purpose that will be
E.22  will be so clear to you that you will joyously accept yourself for  who you are being. So be it.

Tx:3.31  involves different interpretations, and this means that it is not  whole. The miracle is a way of perceiving, not of knowing. It is
Tx:3.45  from the Soul because it is from the Soul that it derives its  whole power to create. Even in miscreation will is affirming its
Tx:3.74 This makes absolutely no sense. The  whole picture is one in which man acts in a way he himself realizes
Tx:4.31  because it cannot establish the reality of itself. In fact, its  whole perception of other egos as real is only an attempt to
Tx:4.41  Creator create, and what else but you is His Kingdom? This is the  whole message of the Atonement, a message which in its totality
Tx:4.81  while accurate perception is a stepping-stone towards it. The  whole value of right perception lies in the inevitable judgment which
Tx:4.83  if you associate yourself with the ego, you do not perceive the  whole situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the ego
Tx:4.86  be used here because as you learn how much you are indebted to the  whole Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to knowledge as
Tx:4.89  accord with His. I have told you before that I am in charge of the  whole Atonement. This is only because I completed my part in it as
Tx:4.95 Everything the ego perceives is a separate  whole, without the relationships that imply being. The ego is thus
Tx:4.101  but He cannot share His joy with you until you know it with your  whole mind. Even revelation is not enough because it is communication
Tx:5.2  to be wholly fearful and remain alive, then the only possible  whole state is that of love. There is no difference between love
Tx:5.2  is no difference between love and joy. Therefore, the only possible  whole state is the wholly joyous. To heal or to make joyous is

Tx:6.25  of God, which is His peace, cannot be appreciated except by a  whole mind which recognizes the wholeness of God's creation and by
Tx:6.34  only for this because he speaks for God. He tells you to return your  whole mind to God, because it has never left Him. If it has never
Tx:6.37  He looks He sees Himself, and because He is united, He offers the  whole Kingdom always. This is the one message God gave to Him and
Tx:6.45  you. Herein lies its primary perceptual error, the foundation of its  whole thought system.
Tx:6.57  you that you had made a split mind, when He knows your mind only as  whole? What God does know is that His communication channels are
Tx:6.82  you must be critical, since your salvation is critical to the  whole Sonship. We said before that the Holy Spirit is evaluative and
Tx:6.89  created it. Therefore, you are accepting it as it is. Since it is  whole, you are teaching peace because you believe in it. The final
Tx:6.92  to is measurable. On the contrary, unless it transfers to the  whole Sonship, which is immeasurable because it was created by the
Tx:6.92  Immeasurable, the learning itself must be incomplete. To teach the  whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive
Tx:7.6  you that your joy may be complete, because the Kingdom of God is  whole. We have said that the last step in the reawakening of
Tx:7.15  of what he translates, never changes the meaning. In fact, his  whole purpose is to change the form so that the original meaning is
Tx:7.33  not come directly from God, Who knows His creations as perfectly  whole. Yet healing is [nevertheless] of God, because it proceeds
Tx:7.35  He can use them only for healing, because He knows you only as  whole. By healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of
Tx:7.44  consistence is conflict-free, and only the conflict-free are  whole. By accepting exceptions and acknowledging that he can
Tx:7.46  Your meaning cannot be out of accord with His because your  whole meaning, and your only meaning, comes from His and is
Tx:7.50  by your creations, which can only be created as you were. The  whole glory and perfect joy that is the Kingdom lies in you to
Tx:7.53 This light will shine back upon you and on the  whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He will

Tx:7.87  that it can, a fallacy which the ego always makes, underlies its  whole use of projection. It does not understand what mind is and
Tx:7.90 The  whole purpose of this course is to teach you that the ego is
Tx:7.90  idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the  whole Kingdom as literally part of you. This identification is as
Tx:7.92  is included in its own, as it is included in God. The power of the  whole Sonship and of its Creator is therefore the Soul's own
Tx:7.92  therefore the Soul's own fullness, rendering its creations equally  whole and equal in perfection. The ego cannot prevail against a
Tx:7.93  can the fullness of its Creator. Fullness is extension. The ego's  whole thought system blocks extension and thus blocks your only
Tx:7.94  Exclude any part of the Kingdom from yourself, and you are not  whole. A split mind cannot perceive its fullness and needs the
Tx:7.95  creation belongs to everyone, being created for the Sonship as a  whole.
Tx:7.96  radiance is so intense that it creates in perfect joy, and only the  whole can be born of its wholeness.
Tx:7.97  any part of totality in the lesson, you have included the  whole. You have said that when you write of the Kingdom and your
Tx:7.97  in a sense, but no more true than your failure to acknowledge the  whole result of the ego's premises. The Kingdom is the result of
Tx:7.98  could possibly want any part of it is because you do not see the  whole of it. You [therefore] are willing to look at the ego's
Tx:7.101  be confused about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the  whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be
Tx:7.105  with me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be. The  whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only way out of the
Tx:7.112  brothers, who created them with you. We said before that only the  whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the
Tx:7.112  whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the  whole Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by
Tx:8.31  to unite must be unequivocal, or the will itself is divided or not  whole. Your will is the means by which you determine your own
Tx:8.37 Yet to heal is still to make  whole. Therefore, to heal is to unite with those who are like you,
Tx:8.49  because apart from each other we cannot function at all. The  whole power of God's Son lies in all of us, but not in any of us
Tx:8.61 In the world, not even the body is perceived as  whole. Its purpose is seen as fragmented into many functions which
Tx:8.62  for communication. Since this is natural, it heals by making  whole, which is also natural. All mind is whole, and the belief
Tx:8.62  it heals by making whole, which is also natural. All mind is  whole, and the belief that part of it is physical, or not mind, is
Tx:8.65  the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes  whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can only be an
Tx:8.66  limit on yourself. Are you willing to accept this, when your  whole purpose for learning should be to escape from limitations? To
Tx:8.70  they arise from it, but the relationship is not reciprocal. The  whole does define the part, but the part does not define the
Tx:8.70  The whole does define the part, but the part does not define the  whole. This is as true of knowledge as it is of perception. The
Tx:8.70  difference between knowledge and perception. In perception the  whole is built up of parts, which can separate and reassemble in
Tx:8.70  in which change is possible. There is no difference between the  whole and the part where change is impossible.
Tx:8.81  because it is so powerful that your little part will bring the  whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let the whole be
Tx:8.81  the whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let the  whole be yours.
Tx:8.87  do the works of love, because we share this oneness. Our minds are  whole because they are one. If you are sick you are withdrawing
Tx:8.94 The only source of fear in this  whole process can only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only
Tx:9.16  question, ridiculous as it seems, is really the crucial issue in the  whole separation fantasy. Anyone who elects a totally insane guide
Tx:9.34  part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each part is  whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of your
Tx:9.80  I know your value for you, and it is this value that makes you  whole. A whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of
Tx:9.80  your value for you, and it is this value that makes you whole. A  whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I
Tx:9.80  only one message, and it is true. Your faith in it will make you  whole when you have faith in me.
Tx:9.86  illusions because truth and illusions are irreconcilable. Truth is  whole and cannot be known by part of a mind.
Tx:10.2  system. And either the ego, which you made, is your father, or its  whole thought system will not stand.
Tx:10.14  Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your  whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and
Tx:10.14  it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and your  whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here because
Tx:10.19  you would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make  whole, He will lay His own complete will and make yours whole.
Tx:10.19  to make whole, He will lay His own complete will and make yours  whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish with the Fatherhood
Tx:10.30  cannot enter. For you cannot understand Wholeness unless you are  whole, and no part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the
Tx:10.30  know the Wholeness of his Father. In your mind, you can accept the  whole Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then
Tx:10.38  or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the  whole Sonship rests.
Tx:10.41  meaningless. “Dynamics” implies the power to do something, and the  whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the
Tx:10.45 Yours is the independence of creation, not of autonomy. Your  whole creative function lies in your complete dependence on God,
Tx:10.64  compel your allegiance gladly because it is the symbol of joy. Its  whole compelling power lies in the fact that it represents what you
Tx:10.68  Sons are of equal value, and their equality is their oneness. The  whole power of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory
Tx:11.2  and never without the risk of your own ego-involvement. The  whole process represents a clear-cut attempt to demonstrate your
Tx:11.16  Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You will be made  whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for
Tx:11.16  there is but one remedy. You will be made whole as you make  whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to
Tx:11.41  There can be no disinherited parts of the Sonship, for God is  whole, and all His extensions are like Him.
Tx:11.51  and teachers. But it is not so yet and will not be so until the  whole learning situation as you have set it up is reversed.
Tx:11.53 The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the  whole world and lose your own Soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you
Tx:11.61  gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you will be made  whole, and the Atonement will radiate from your acceptance of it
Tx:12.13  your joyous response to the call of love if you heard it, and the  whole world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit,
Tx:12.14 You have built your  whole insane belief system because you think you would be helpless in
Tx:12.34  Therefore he does not see that he made them and that they are not  whole. For these figures have no witnesses, being perceived in one
Tx:12.52  Son is only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is  whole. Call all your brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am
Tx:13.2  this: There is nothing partial about knowledge. Every aspect is  whole, and therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of
Tx:13.5  to the Son of God is but the true perception of one aspect of the  whole. Though every aspect is the whole, you cannot know this until
Tx:13.5  perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is the  whole, you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the
Tx:13.12 Release from guilt is the ego's  whole undoing. Make no one fearful, for his guilt is yours, and by
Tx:13.65  want either alone, for without both, you do not see yourselves as  whole and therefore happy. Yet you are whole only in your
Tx:13.65  you do not see yourselves as whole and therefore happy. Yet you are  whole only in your guiltlessness, and only in your guiltlessness
Tx:15.12  give Him this than for Him to use this tiny instant to offer you the  whole of Heaven. In exchange for this instant, He stands ready to
Tx:15.15  to the 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
Tx:15.16  your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the  whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to
Tx:15.35  it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds the  whole release from littleness.
Tx:15.64  in the holy instant because the past is gone and with it goes the  whole basis for exclusion. Without its source, exclusion vanishes.
Tx:15.101 Fear not to recognize the  whole idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not
Tx:15.102  of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the  whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And
Tx:16.9 What you give through Him is for the  whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He
Tx:16.10  itself? One attribute is no more difficult to understand than is the  whole. If miracles are at all, their attributes would have to be
Tx:16.11  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 away from the
Tx:16.11  whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking away from the  whole to what you think you might be better able to understand. For
Tx:16.11  of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in part or  whole. Yet you have done them. Therefore, your understanding cannot
Tx:16.12  about it, you cannot understand it. The recognition of the part as  whole and of the whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it
Tx:16.12  understand it. The recognition of the part as whole and of the  whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it is the way God
Tx:16.37  love relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes you  whole in truth, not in illusion. Your relationship with them is
Tx:16.40  and therefore wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be  whole. And God has never forgotten what makes Him whole. In your
Tx:16.40  must be whole. And God has never forgotten what makes Him  whole. In your completion lies the memory of His wholeness and His
Tx:16.52  the sadness and the loneliness. For these are only attributes of the  whole religion of the separation and of the total context in which it
Tx:16.57  meaning. Separation is only the decision not to know yourself. Its  whole thought system is a carefully contrived learning experience
Tx:16.61  body would disappear because its value would be lost. And so your  whole investment in seeing it would be withdrawn from it. You see the
Tx:16.62  special relationship which the ego seeks does not include even one  whole individual. For the ego wants but part of him and sees only
Tx:17.3  If you but realized what this must do to your appreciation of the  whole! What you reserve unto yourself, you take away from Him Who
Tx:17.30 The  whole defense system which the ego evolved to protect the separation

Tx:21.28  together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you deny your  whole reality. But grant that everything which seems to stand between
Tx:21.43  ego never asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego's  whole defensive system too seriously for it to bother to pretend it

Tx:25.37 The state of sinlessness is merely this: the  whole desire to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to perceive
Tx:25.54 The Holy Spirit has the power to change the  whole foundation of the world you see to something else—a basis not

T1:9.12  you need to free you from the ego's reign, you have turned toward  wholeness. In the same way that embracing both the male and female

D:4.29  This return is not selfish on your part, but magnanimous. It returns  wholeness to you and wholeness to the divine design. It returns

D:13.5  the knowing that will be coming to you will be given in a state of  wholeness. You have previously learned of everything in parts and
D:13.5  particulars. While you are perfectly capable of coming to know in  wholeness, a way that is actually natural to you, it will seem so
D:14.10  is not. Learning took place in parts in an effort to lead to  wholeness. Discovery comes to you in wholeness. So these steps are
D:14.10  parts in an effort to lead to wholeness. Discovery comes to you in  wholeness. So these steps are not about parts or levels but about the
D:14.17 This  wholeness of being is what lies beyond body and mind, form and time.
D:15.6  however, separate principles, but a single unifying principle of  wholeness: Movement, being, expression. One did not occur before the

D:16.2  of creation moves inevitably to join with the accomplishment and  wholeness that already exist in unity. Creation occurs in each of us,
D:16.2  is the extension or expression of that identity into the creation of  wholeness in form.
D:16.3  is to be empty. Empty is the opposite of full, the opposite of  wholeness. It is the perceived condition of lack. It is the belief
D:16.4 You can be an expression of being and yet not express the  wholeness of being. This is a description of the state of becoming.
D:16.6  than it is an attribute. This is because love remains in eternal  wholeness. Love cannot be learned, and so has stood apart from the
D:16.7  All of All because it is whole and rests in eternal completion and  wholeness. Love is the state of unity, the only relationship through
D:16.8  expression of God, of Love, of Creation—through the extension of  wholeness—into the seemingly separate identities of form. The way

D:Day10.17  unity. This was purposeful. Now, however, you are asked to return to  wholeness, a state in which you are not separate from me or from the
D:Day14.1  as the sick, the chaos and the peace. Thus we heal now by calling on  wholeness, accepting the healed self's ability to be chosen while not

D:Day24.2  in every cell, in each of every smallest particle of existence.  Wholeness exists in you. Nothing can take wholeness from you. It is
D:Day24.2  particle of existence. Wholeness exists in you. Nothing can take  wholeness from you. It is as natural to you as it is to all of
D:Day24.4  you allow your potential to be released, your true nature in all its  wholeness will be revealed.
D:Day24.5  in other words, a necessity for each step in the accomplishment of  wholeness, even while wholeness has always existed as potential. Do
D:Day24.5  for each step in the accomplishment of wholeness, even while  wholeness has always existed as potential. Do not forget, however,
D:Day24.5  has always existed as potential. Do not forget, however, that  wholeness has always existed, that potential is that which exists, or
D:Day27.12 The degree of your separation from  wholeness can be seen much as the degree of separation between hot
D:Day27.12  of separation between hot and cold. If you were to perceive of  wholeness as an ideal temperature, you might think for a moment, just
D:Day27.12  of separation that you chose. Because you never chose union, or  wholeness, you did not experience lack of body temperature or the
D:Day27.12  kind of temperature is thus a constant. A constant is an aspect of  wholeness. A variable is an aspect of separation. The constant does
D:Day27.13  you have always been the accomplished is a constant and an aspect of  wholeness. The variability of how you experience who you are is also
D:Day27.14  practice in order to move toward an experience of variability within  wholeness rather than within separation. It can be done.
D:Day27.15  form will be the expression of new life lived within the constant of  wholeness but continuing to experience the variability of separation.
D:Day27.16  self, have always been variables that exist within the constant of  wholeness. What you have experienced, however, has not been wholeness
D:Day27.16  of wholeness. What you have experienced, however, has not been  wholeness or the experience of wholeness, but the experience of
D:Day27.16  experienced, however, has not been wholeness or the experience of  wholeness, but the experience of separation. What we are speaking of
D:Day27.16  separation. What we are speaking of now is being able to experience  wholeness and the variability of experience that has come through the
D:Day28.8  was most recently spoken of, that of apprehending the new reality of  wholeness. It is not wholeness that is new, but the reality of
D:Day28.8  of, that of apprehending the new reality of wholeness. It is not  wholeness that is new, but the reality of wholeness that is new. The
D:Day28.8  of wholeness. It is not wholeness that is new, but the reality of  wholeness that is new. The reality of being able to experience the
D:Day28.8  to experience the variability of separation from within the state of  wholeness is what is new.
D:Day28.12 This is  wholeness.
D:Day28.18  moved out of the realm of separation and into the realm of union or  wholeness, new conditions will apply. This is why it has been said
D:Day28.22 To move to internally directed experience is to make the move into  wholeness that will cause the “shift of the ages,” the experience of
D:Day28.22  cause the “shift of the ages,” the experience of variability within  wholeness.
D:Day28.24 As you move toward  wholeness, all the pieces of all that we have talked about will begin
D:Day28.24  The thread represents your own journey to truth, your own journey to  wholeness.
D:Day29.1  sight of concepts of duality—where they cease to be real for us.  Wholeness and separation, God and man, life and the individuated
D:Day29.1  this same, simultaneous way. If you can integrate all that opposes  wholeness into one level of experience, you will be able to
D:Day29.1  you will be able to experience life from within the reality of  wholeness rather than from within the reality of separation.
D:Day29.3  final joining, the joining that will end duality and return you to  wholeness—to who you truly are—in the reality in which you truly
D:Day29.4  you exist. Another way of saying this is bringing who you are into  wholeness, which can be interpreted both as bringing all that you are
D:Day29.5  It is your access to two levels of experience—the experience of  wholeness and the experience of separation. While you may have seen
D:Day29.6  also been part of the process and part of the experience of merging  wholeness and separation. While you may have seen it as a new means
D:Day29.7  find a place in which it could become the common denominator between  wholeness and separation. Once you experience yourself in wholeness
D:Day29.7  between wholeness and separation. Once you experience yourself in  wholeness and find yourself in union, you have made of yourself the
D:Day29.7  the common denominator upon which experience can find anchor in  wholeness and union.
D:Day30.1  the whole. Just as simple fractions can be added together to achieve  wholeness once a common denominator is found, your own fractiousness
D:Day30.1  a common denominator is found, your own fractiousness can yield to  wholeness through the common denominator of the self. A common
D:Day30.1  of the self. A common denominator is simply that which yields to  wholeness. This yielding is a natural process. To yield is to give
D:Day30.2  is to translate what is more than one into one. An assumption of  wholeness is “common” in every denominator.
D:Day30.3  simply the existence of what was named or denominated. Existence and  wholeness are the same. Thus your existence, the existence of the
D:Day30.3  the existence of the self, is, or can be, a common denominator of  wholeness. In our act of saying it is so, we name or denominate the
D:Day30.3  saying it is so, we name or denominate the Self as what is common to  wholeness. Despite unlimited variations being available, commonality
D:Day30.3  no matter how fractious are the separate selves, commonality and  wholeness always exist and have always existed.
D:Day30.4  Wholeness cannot be achieved without joining, thus the commonly known
D:Day30.4  two or more are needed in order for knowing to occur. To not know  wholeness would be to be in a state of nothingness. Thus the joining
D:Day30.4  nothingness. Thus the joining of two or more are needed in order for  wholeness to be known and thus to exist as a state of conscious
D:Day30.5  follows then, that to not experience joining is to not experience  wholeness. Stated another way, the self cannot know the Self without
D:Day31.3  joining is the point of the experience and the key to experiencing  wholeness.
D:Day31.4 As has already been stated,  wholeness could not be experienced without division. Wholeness and
D:Day31.4  been stated, wholeness could not be experienced without division.  Wholeness and oneness are the same. You are one in being with your
D:Day31.7  By knowing the One in the many, experience can be achieved within  wholeness.
D:Day31.8  from the Self. Self and God are one and experiencing together in  wholeness. For the individuated Self to experience separately from
D:Day31.8  of what is is the Source of union and the ability to experience in  wholeness.
D:Day34.1  same continuum as are hot and cold, darkness and light. Seeing in  wholeness includes seeing the opposites that seem to exist at these
D:Day34.4  rather than the difference of being in relationship—the  wholeness of being in relationship rather than the separation of
D:Day35.6  the power to call upon the mountain top experience and the view of  wholeness we have achieved here. You will carry it within you, and
D:Day35.16  Creation itself, which stands apart from particulars but united with  wholeness, has led to this time of opposites becoming one and
D:Day35.16  with wholeness, has led to this time of opposites becoming one and  wholeness becoming actual rather than probable. Wholeness is actual.
D:Day35.16  becoming one and wholeness becoming actual rather than probable.  Wholeness is actual. All that is left to be created is awareness that
D:Day35.18  from all others. Thus what you have “created” has stood apart from  wholeness. What is not created in unity could be said to have been
D:Day39.6  of individuation in union and relationship. This is the beginning of  wholeness. What you strive for here is revelation. For only through
D:Day39.41  in you is that which, upon this final acceptance, returns your  wholeness to you.
D:Day40.1  of your being into union, you complete a circuit, a circle of  wholeness, and I become who you are to me. Thus giving and receiving
A.44  in unity and relationship, creation of the new will proceed and  wholeness and healing renew the world in which you live.

Tx:16.12  the way God thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you.  Wholly natural perception would show you instantly that order of
Tx:16.16  God has called to you, and you have heard. Never again will you be  wholly willing not to listen.
Tx:16.19 Reality is safe and sure and  wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than
Tx:16.23  regard yourself as one? For it is impossible to teach successfully  wholly without conviction, and it is equally impossible that

Tx:16.39  you and will lead you straight to Him, where your completion rests  wholly compatible with His. Every illusion which you accept into your

Tx:16.40  loves you wholly without illusion, as you must love. For love is  wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without fear. Whom God
Tx:16.40  you must love. For love is wholly without illusion and therefore  wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has

Tx:17.9  of Atonement. All else is learned, but this is given, complete and  wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned salvation could complete
Tx:17.38  It must be the pictures only that you compare, or the comparison is  wholly without meaning. Remember that it is the picture that is the

Tx:17.49  heard. Has He not been very explicit in His answer? You are not now  wholly insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit
Tx:17.68  but do not use it. Faithlessness is the servant of illusion and  wholly faithful to its master. Use it and it will carry you straight
Tx:17.73  of Him Who walks with you in every situation. You are no longer  wholly insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a
Tx:18.48  possible 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
Tx:18.90  to be a solid wall before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is  wholly an illusion. It gives way softly to the mountain tops which
Tx:19.1 We said before that when a situation has been dedicated  wholly to truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion
Tx:19.1  said that peace without faith will never be attained, for what is  wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to truth by
Tx:19.5  all obstacles that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is  wholly dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial
Tx:19.5  between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to illusions; faith  wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the
Tx:19.12  Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God through Him, and  wholly acceptable to his Father as to him. And therefore offered
Tx:19.21  sin as error is always indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is  wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and quite unapproachable
Tx:19.21  the most “holy” concept in the ego's system—lovely and powerful,  wholly true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its
Tx:19.42  in peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you  wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little. And that
Tx:19.49  to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. Being  wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is attracted to
Tx:19.51 The fierce attraction which guilt holds for fear is  wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What love would look
Tx:19.69  for the eternal is forever kind, infinite in its patience, and  wholly loving. It will accept you wholly and give you peace. Yet it
Tx:19.69  infinite in its patience, and wholly loving. It will accept you  wholly and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what already
Tx:19.87 What danger can assail the  wholly innocent? What can attack the guiltless? What fear can enter
Tx:20.45  rest upon contingency, but there is nothing else. And this is  wholly loving and forever. Yet has the Son of God invented an unholy
Tx:20.45  into fragments, and full of fear. The one created by his Father is  wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he made is
Tx:20.45  is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he made is  wholly self-destructive and self-limiting.
Tx:20.73  in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are  wholly unreal? Could you have faith in what you see if you accepted
Tx:21.23  to look within and see what must be there plainly in sight and  wholly independent of inference and judgment. Undoing is not your
Tx:21.44  partial—still limited and incomplete, yet born within you. Not  wholly mad, you have been willing to look on much of your insanity
Tx:21.82  your mind again. When it is this you do not want, the rest are  wholly answered.
Tx:22.6  such as this send back its messages? Surely not you, whose sight is  wholly independent of the eyes which look upon the world. If this is
Tx:22.22  This course will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is  wholly true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And
Tx:22.22  will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true or  wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you will

Tx:23.47  is no attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is  wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all the same cannot

Tx:24.26  would not receive it for himself? For it is sure he would receive it  wholly the instant that he gave it so. And thus his secret guilt
Tx:25.21  from him nor from his Father. You need no forgiveness, for the  wholly pure have never sinned. Give then what He has given you that
Tx:25.35  And in the sunlight you will stand in quiet, in innocence, and  wholly unafraid. And from you will the rest you found extend, so that
Tx:25.38  feared instead of loved. Who would attack whatever he perceives as  wholly innocent? And who, because he wishes to attack, can fail to
Tx:25.44  seems easier to look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is  wholly clear and unambiguous. Yet this is not what eyes are for.
Tx:25.55  insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a world perceived as  wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But
Tx:25.63  it is your will to be without it. You need not give it to Him  wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd have no need of Him. But
Tx:25.66  not of this. But justice does He know and knows it well. For He is  wholly fair to everyone.
Tx:25.70  who ask for punishment but have a Judge Who knows that they are  wholly innocent in truth. In justice, He is bound to set them free
Tx:25.83  to suffer more and others less? And is this justice to the  wholly innocent? A miracle is justice. It is not a special gift to
Tx:26.19  just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and  wholly simple. Here is sin denied and everything that is received
Tx:26.56  creation rise within you to replace the world you see with Heaven,  wholly perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness
Tx:27.1  that would combine attack and innocence. Who can combine the  wholly incompatible and make a unity of what can never join? Walk you
Tx:27.20  unhealed. Yet you can show him that his suffering is purposeless and  wholly without cause. Show him your healing, and he will consent no
Tx:27.31  hate, or to endow with power or to see as weak. The picture has been  wholly canceled out because it symbolized a contradiction which
Tx:27.31  be but nothingness? The picture of your brother that you see is  wholly absent and has never been. Let then the empty space it
Tx:27.33  form, unpictured and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a power known as  wholly free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to
Tx:27.35 A Power  wholly limitless has come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own.
Tx:28.11  is quiet now, and what has come to take its place will not be  wholly unremembered afterwards.
Tx:28.52  or time. For it fills every place and every time and makes them  wholly indivisible.
Tx:28.61  There is no middle ground in any aspect of salvation. You accept it  wholly or accept it not. What is unseparated must be joined. And what
Tx:29.13  asked Him, and He came. You did not hear Him enter, for you did not  wholly welcome Him. And yet His gifts came with Him. He has laid them
Tx:30.32  they cannot decide alone to guarantee the joy they asked for will be  wholly shared. For they have understood the basic law that makes
Tx:31.54  your brother be. This shifts the concept of the self from what is  wholly passive and at least makes way for active choice and some
Tx:31.69  about yourself. But should one brother dawn upon your sight as  wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is
Tx:31.69  as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is  wholly changed. Your “evil” thoughts have been forgiven with his,
Tx:31.80  yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a  wholly open mind, unclouded by old concepts and prepared to look on
W1:8.2 The only  wholly true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not

W1:131.7  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 tiny candle
W1:134.6 It is sin's unreality that makes forgiveness natural and  wholly sane, a deep relief to those who offer it; a quiet blessing
W1:136.12  cannot be attacked. What is unalterable cannot change. And what is  wholly sinless cannot sin.
W1:136.17  the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be  wholly healed today.
W1:138.10  alternatives when only one is seen as valuable, the other as a  wholly worthless thing, a but imagined source of guilt and pain? Who
W1:151.11  seems to touch on you in any way from His one frame of reference,  wholly unified and sure. And you will see the love beyond the hate,
W1:158.1  that you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind, sinless forever,  wholly unafraid because you were created out of Love. Nor have you
W1:162.4  beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. So  wholly is it changed that it is now the treasury in which God places
W1:166.9  than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. Perhaps He has not  wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion
W1:170.4  you of peace, splitting your mind into two camps which seem  wholly irreconcilable. For love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and
W1:181.9  there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a  wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when
W1:186.11  to dispel the night, your truly given function stands out clear and  wholly unambiguous. There is no doubt of its validity. It comes from
W1:189.3  belies the other. Only one can be perceived at all. The other one is  wholly meaningless. A world in which forgiveness shines on everything

W1:191.9 And in that thought is everything you look on  wholly changed.
W1:192.3  Yet God created One Who has the power to translate into form the  wholly formless. What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to
W1:193.1  expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and  wholly limitless in Him. This is His Will. And thus His Will provides
W1:196.10 There is an instant in which terror seems to grip your mind so  wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. When you realize once and
W2:224.1 My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great,  wholly beneficent and free from guilt that Heaven looks to it to give
W2:234.1  disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as  wholly true today.
W2:242.2 And so we give today to You. We come with  wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we
W2:268.2  is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is  wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today.
W2:286.2  us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along it to a  wholly certain goal. Today we will not doubt the end which God
W2:291.2  instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are  wholly certain. Father, lead Your Son along the quiet path that ends
W2:305.1  Christ's vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and  wholly changeless that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons
W2:WILJ.2  For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and  wholly purposeless. Without a cause and now without a function in
W2:328.2  contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your will that I be  wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that will which
W2:354.1  the Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time and  wholly free of every law but Yours. I have no self except the Christ
M:4.7  best interests on behalf of truth. He has not realized as yet how  wholly impossible such a demand would be. He can learn this only as
M:4.15 Therefore God's teachers are  wholly gentle. They need the strength of gentleness, for it is in
M:4.22 True faithfulness, however, does not deviate. Being consistent, it is  wholly honest. Being unswerving, it is full of trust. Being based on

M:12.1 The answer to this question is “one.” One  wholly perfect teacher whose learning is complete suffices. This One,
M:12.1  redeemed, becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always  wholly spirit now no longer sees Himself as a body or even as in a
M:15.3  judgment on yourself, teacher of God? Do you believe that this is  wholly true? No, not yet, not yet. But this is still your goal—why
M:18.2  teachers’ major lesson is to learn how to react to magic thoughts  wholly without anger. Only in this way can they proclaim the truth
M:19.4  one with Him. God's Judgment is His justice. Onto this—a judgment  wholly lacking in condemnation, an evaluation based entirely on love
M:20.6  God? No more than this—the simple understanding that His Will is  wholly without opposite. There is no thought that contradicts His
M:22.1  concept possible in this world, because it is the source of a  wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless idea,
M:28.3  curriculum ends. From here on no directions are needed. Vision is  wholly corrected and all mistakes undone. Attack is meaningless, and
M:29.4  has not forgotten it. His decisions bring benefit to all, being  wholly devoid of attack. And therefore incapable of arousing guilt.

Tx:I.1  is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free  will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means
Tx:1.4 4. All miracles mean life, and God is the Giver of life. His Voice  will direct you very specifically. You will be told all you need to
Tx:1.4  the Giver of life. His Voice will direct you very specifically. You  will be told all you need to know.
Tx:1.15  Time is thus a teaching device and a means to an end. It  will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning.
Tx:1.26 When you have become willing to hide nothing, you  will not only be willing to enter into communion but will also
Tx:1.26  nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into communion but  will also understand peace and joy. Your commitment is not yet total,
Tx:1.26  more to learn than to teach. When your equilibrium stabilizes, you  will be able to teach as much as you learn, which will give you the

Tx:1.32 The power to work miracles belongs to you. I  will provide the opportunities to do them, but you must be ready
Tx:1.32  must be ready and willing since you are already able. Doing them  will bring conviction in the ability, since conviction really comes
Tx:1.34  me. “Heaven and earth shall pass away” simply means that they  will not continue to exist as separate states. My word, which is the
Tx:1.49  Miracles are expressions of love, but it does not follow that they  will always [be effective]. I am the only one who can perform
Tx:1.49  I am the Atonement. You have a role in the Atonement, which I  will dictate to you. Ask me which miracles you should perform.
Tx:1.49  miracles you should perform. This spares you exhaustion, because you  will act under direct communication.
Tx:1.62  and projection. The stimulus must precede the response and  will also determine the kind of response that is evoked. Behavior
Tx:1.64  are equal members of the same family, as you perceive both, so you  will behave toward both. The way to perceive for Golden Rule behavior
Tx:1.66 I assure you that I  will witness for anyone who lets me and to whatever extent he permits
Tx:1.73  which you are not even aware. That is not your concern. The miracle  will always bless you.
Tx:1.75  that you should always keep your perceptions straight, so that you  will always be ready, willing, and able. These are the essentials
Tx:1.87 Man was not created by his own free  will alone. Only what he creates is his to decide. The basic
Tx:1.88  that he has everything, individual contributions to the Sonship  will no longer be necessary. When the Atonement has been completed,
Tx:1.88  be necessary. When the Atonement has been completed, all talents  will be shared by all the Sons of God. God is not partial. All
Tx:1.96  use them for themselves. Since this makes it inevitable that they  will extend them to others, a strong chain of Atonement is welded.
Tx:1.97 The power and strength of man's creative  will must be understood before the real meaning of denial can be
Tx:1.103  it unless you discover what the “something” is? This course, then,  will concentrate on validity and let reliability fall naturally into
Tx:1.104  and depression if denied. All real pleasure comes from doing God's  Will. This is because not doing it is a denial of self. Denial of
Tx:1.107  Man believes in what he creates. If he creates miracles, he  will be equally strong in his belief in them. The strength of his

Tx:2.3 We  will refer later to projection as related to both mental health and
Tx:2.5  the Souls He created, and He also imbued them with the same loving  will to create. The Soul has not only been fully created but has also
Tx:2.6 If you consider carefully what this entails, the following  will become quite apparent:
Tx:2.12  mind. The latter required the endowment of man by God with free  will because all loving creation is freely given. Nothing in these
Tx:2.14  to him. In reality, this is his only choice, because his free  will was given him for his own joy in creating the perfect.
Tx:2.18  If you are afraid, you are valuing wrongly. Human understanding  will inevitably value wrongly and, by endowing all human thoughts
Tx:2.18  value wrongly and, by endowing all human thoughts with equal power,  will inevitably destroy peace. That is why the Bible speaks of “the

Tx:2.21  free by definition. It is possessed or held back by itself. Its  will is therefore limited and is not free to assert itself. The real
Tx:2.21  of one kind,” which was mentioned before, is “are of one mind or  will.” When the will of the Sonship and the Father are one, their

Tx:2.22 Denial of error is a powerful defense of truth. You  will note that we have been shifting the emphasis from the negative
Tx:2.22  of error frees the mind and reestablishes the freedom of the  will. When the will is really free, it cannot miscreate because
Tx:2.22  frees the mind and reestablishes the freedom of the will. When the  will is really free, it cannot miscreate because it recognizes
Tx:2.35  his own treasure. You do not have to tell him to do so because he  will do it automatically. The real questions still remain. What do
Tx:2.35  them into all your actions as the true criteria for behavior, I  will have little difficulty in clarifying the means. You have not
Tx:2.35  lot of time if you do not extend this step unduly. The correct focus  will shorten it immeasurably.
Tx:2.41  to time. Until the Atonement is finished, its various phases  will proceed in time, but the whole Atonement stands at time's end.
Tx:2.42  This is what is meant by “the meek shall inherit the earth.” They  will literally take it over because of their strength. A two-way
Tx:2.47  were created for this purpose. This appears to contradict free  will because of the inevitability of the final decision. If you
Tx:2.47  the final decision. If you review the idea carefully, however, you  will realize that this is not true. Everything is limited in some way
Tx:2.47  is limited in some way by the manner of its creation. Free  will can temporize and is capable of enormous procrastination. But it
Tx:2.48 The misuse of  will engenders a situation which in the extreme becomes altogether
Tx:2.49  to truth. Because of the real strength of Its vision, It pulls the  will into Its service and impels the mind to concur. This
Tx:2.49  impels the mind to concur. This reestablishes the true power of the  will and makes it increasingly unable to tolerate delay. The mind

Tx:2.52 The emphasis  will now be on healing. The miracle is the means, the Atonement is
Tx:2.59  manner in which it is expressed. In fact, if it is truly used, it  will inevitably be expressed in whatever way is most helpful to the
Tx:2.63  however, that the miracle worker be in his right mind or he  will be unable to reestablish right-mindedness in someone else.
Tx:2.67  entails fear is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual eye  will see. We said before that the Spiritual eye cannot see error and
Tx:2.68  in what his physical sight tells him, all his corrective behavior  will be misdirected. The real vision is obscured, because man
Tx:2.72  from controlling it. The correction is therefore a matter of your  will, because its presence shows that you have raised the
Tx:2.72  higher level than it warrants. You have thus brought it under your  will, where it does not belong. This means that you feel
Tx:2.74  change your mind, not your behavior, and this is a matter of  will.
Tx:2.75  error does. The correction is always the same. Before you  will to do anything, ask me if your will is in accord with mine. If
Tx:2.75  is always the same. Before you will to do anything, ask me if your  will is in accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there will
Tx:2.75  your will is in accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there  will be no fear.
Tx:2.77 First, you can  will to do conflicting things, either simultaneously or successively.
Tx:2.77  behavior, which is intolerable to yourself because the part of the  will that wants to do something else is outraged.
Tx:2.79 In both cases, the  will and the behavior are out of accord, resulting in a situation in
Tx:2.79  resulting in a situation in which you are doing what you do not  will. This arouses a sense of coercion, which usually produces rage.
Tx:2.80  there is fear, it is because you have not made up your mind. Your  will is split, and your behavior inevitably becomes erratic.
Tx:2.80  from the first to the second type of strain described above but  will not obliterate the fear. It is possible to reach a state in
Tx:2.80  the fear. It is possible to reach a state in which you bring your  will under my guidance without much conscious effort, but this
Tx:2.80  have not developed dependably as yet. God cannot ask more than you  will. The strength to do comes from your own undivided will to
Tx:2.80  your own undivided will to do. There is no strain in doing God's  Will as soon as you recognize that it is also your own.
Tx:2.81  lesson here is quite simple but particularly apt to be overlooked. I  will therefore repeat it, urging you to listen. Only your mind can

Tx:2.88  It never sleeps. Every instant it is creating and always as you  will. Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this. For example,
Tx:2.88  a thought,” you imply that if you do not think about something, it  will have no effect on you. And this is true enough.
Tx:2.89  to grow when you say it, because you do not really think that you  will.
Tx:2.94  of training. I cannot let them leave their minds unguarded, or they  will not be able to help me. Miracle working entails a full
Tx:2.94  of thought and real avoidance of miscreation. Otherwise, a miracle  will be necessary to set the mind itself straight, a circular
Tx:2.103  As soon as a state of readiness occurs, there is usually some  will to accomplish, but this is by no means necessarily undivided.
Tx:2.103  The state does not imply more than a potential for a shift of  will.
Tx:2.104  case this be misunderstood to imply that an enormous amount of time  will be necessary between readiness and mastery, let me remind you
Tx:2.105  where the belief in magic in some form is virtually inevitable. His  will to create was given him by his own Creator, Who was expressing
Tx:2.105  create was given him by his own Creator, Who was expressing the same  will in His creation. Since creative ability rests in the mind,
Tx:2.105  in the mind, everything that man creates is necessarily a matter of  will. It also follows that whatever he creates is real in his own
Tx:2.106  separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment  will extend over a similarly long period and perhaps an even longer
Tx:2.108  generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by God. Actually it  will be undertaken by man with my help. It is a final healing rather
Tx:2.109  a process of right evaluation. It simply means that finally all men  will come to understand what is worthy and what is not. After this,
Tx:2.109  is made, however, the vacillations between free and imprisoned  will cannot but continue. The first step toward freedom must
Tx:2.109  sense and reflects the true meaning of the Apocalypse. Man  will ultimately look upon his own creations and will to preserve only
Tx:2.109  the Apocalypse. Man will ultimately look upon his own creations and  will to preserve only what is good, just as God Himself looked upon
Tx:2.110 At this point, the  will can begin to look with love on its own creations because of
Tx:2.110  on its own creations because of their great worthiness. The mind  will inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's
Tx:2.110  inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's belief,  will no longer exist. The term “Last Judgment” is frightening not
Tx:3.1  heavily on these earlier sections not to require their study. You  will also need them for preparation. Without this, you may become
Tx:3.1  use of it. However, as you study these earlier sections, you  will begin to see some of their implications, which will be amplified
Tx:3.1  sections, you will begin to see some of their implications, which  will be amplified considerably later on.
Tx:3.2  to which we have already referred and which so many people hold. You  will remember that we said that awe is inappropriate in connection
Tx:3.3  unwise to start on these steps without careful preparation or awe  will be confused with fear, and the experience will be more traumatic
Tx:3.3  preparation or awe will be confused with fear, and the experience  will be more traumatic than beatific. Healing is of God in the end.

Tx:3.18  separately. If you can accept the one generalization now, there  will be no need to learn from many smaller lessons.
Tx:3.19  no confusion within its levels because they are of One Mind and One  Will. This single purpose creates perfect integration and establishes
Tx:3.20  it. Understanding the lesson of the Atonement, they are without the  will to attack, and therefore they see truly. This is what the Bible
Tx:3.27  what does not really exist. When you lack confidence in what someone  will do, you are attesting to your belief that he is not in his right
Tx:3.28  that only what God creates, or what man creates with the same  will, has any real existence. This, then, is all the innocent can
Tx:3.29  willing to validate what is true in everything you perceive, you  will make it true for you. Truth overcomes all error. This means
Tx:3.33  mind is closed because it believes the future and present  will be the same. This establishes an unchanged state or stasis. It
Tx:3.33  usually an attempt to counteract an underlying fear that the future  will be worse than the present, and this fear inhibits the tendency
Tx:3.36 If you attack error in one another, you  will hurt yourself. You cannot recognize each other when you
Tx:3.36  Sons. There He can communicate His certainty, and His knowledge  will bring peace without question.
Tx:3.37  to each other. Knowledge preceded both perception and time and  will ultimately replace them. That is the real meaning of the
Tx:3.38  open to question or doubt. This is because he is not certain how he  will use them. He is therefore incapable of knowledge, being
Tx:3.44 Perception always involves some misuse of  will, because it involves the mind in areas of uncertainty. The mind
Tx:3.45  Soul that it derives its whole power to create. Even in miscreation  will is affirming its Source or it would merely cease to be. This is
Tx:3.47  merely by establishing the fact that it is not there. The truth  will always overcome error in this sense. This is not an active
Tx:3.48  exists. Truth cannot deal with unwilling error because it does not  will to be blocked out. I was a man who remembered the Soul and its
Tx:3.48  powerlessness of the body and the power of the mind. By uniting my  will with that of my Creator, I naturally remembered the Soul and its
Tx:3.49 I cannot unite your  will with God's for you, but I can erase all misperceptions from
Tx:3.49  you, but I can erase all misperceptions from your mind if you  will bring it under my guidance. Only your misperceptions stand in
Tx:3.51  after the separation. No one has been sure of anything since. You  will also remember, however, that I made it clear that the
Tx:3.51  the return to knowledge, which was accomplished by the union of my  will with the Father's. We can now make a distinction which will
Tx:3.51  of my will with the Father's. We can now make a distinction which  will greatly facilitate clarity in our subsequent statements.
Tx:3.61  in some though insufficient detail. After the Last Judgment there  will be no more. This is symbolic only in the sense that everyone is
Tx:3.61  it merely means that if you judge the reality of others at all, you  will be unable to avoid judging your own. The choice to judge rather
Tx:3.63  judgment. When you recognize what you and your brothers are, you  will realize that judging them in any way is without meaning. In
Tx:3.66  impossible anyway, you will insist on holding onto judgment. You  will also use the term with considerable fear, believing that
Tx:3.66  also use the term with considerable fear, believing that judgment  will someday be used against you. To whatever extent it is used
Tx:3.71  he is imprisoned in some way. If this is the result of his own free  will, he must regard his will as if it were not free, or the
Tx:3.71  way. If this is the result of his own free will, he must regard his  will as if it were not free, or the obviously circular reasoning
Tx:3.71  reasoning involved in his position would be quite apparent. Free  will must lead to freedom. Judgment always imprisons because it

Tx:3.72  without power. It is essential to realize this because otherwise you  will not understand why you have so much trouble with this course and
Tx:3.72  not understand why you have so much trouble with this course and  will be unable to escape from the prisons which you have made for
Tx:3.73  the power of your minds. To do so is to deceive yourself, and this  will hurt you because you know the strength of the mind. You also
Tx:3.78  lives and see what the devil has made. But know that this making  will surely dissolve in the light of truth, because its foundation

Tx:4.7  same order of learning, and unless they share their lessons, they  will lack conviction. A good teacher must believe in the ideas which
Tx:4.8  that if you allow no change to enter into your ego, your Soul  will find peace. This profound confusion is possible only if one
Tx:4.8  and God's Self are in opposition. They are opposed in creation, in  will, and in outcome. They are fundamentally irreconcilable because
Tx:4.11  of guardian[s] of your thought system[s] and open [them] to me, I  will correct [them] very gently and lead you home. Every good teacher
Tx:4.11  hopes to give his students so much of his own thinking that they  will one day no longer need him. This is the one real goal of the
Tx:4.11  the one real goal of the parent, teacher, and therapist. This goal  will not be achieved by those who believe that they will lose their
Tx:4.11  This goal will not be achieved by those who believe that they  will lose their child or pupil or patient if they succeed. It is
Tx:4.12  because to enlarge an ego is to increase separation anxiety. I  will teach with you and live with you if you will think with me, but
Tx:4.12  separation anxiety. I will teach with you and live with you if you  will think with me, but my goal will always be to absolve you finally

Tx:4.13  be able to devote myself to teaching if I believed this, and you  will not be a devoted teacher as long as you maintain it. I am
Tx:4.14  established by God. As long as you dispute this, everything you do  will be fearful, particularly any situation which lends itself to the
Tx:4.15  into forms of praise for itself in order to overcome its doubts. It  will be doubtful forever, or rather as long as you believe in it. You
Tx:4.16  chosen to be afraid instead of meeting it. When you awaken you  will not be able to understand this because it is literally
Tx:4.17  afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced it, you  will withdraw all protection from the ego and become totally without
Tx:4.18  chosen to leave it empty by their own dispossession. Yet His home  will stand forever and is ready for you when you choose to enter it.
Tx:4.20 I  will substitute for your ego if you wish but never for your Soul. A
Tx:4.27  is not at all surprising. In fact it duplicates in many ways how he  will one day react to his real creations, which are as timeless as
Tx:4.28  the teacher of the ego.] When teaching is no longer necessary, you  will merely know God. Belief that there is another way is the
Tx:4.29  necessarily conflicted, because all attitudes are ego-based. This  will not last. Be patient awhile and remember that the outcome is as
Tx:4.30  the concepts involved. To the ego, to give anything implies that you  will do without it. When you associate giving with sacrifice, then,
Tx:4.35  religiously ego-oriented believe that the Soul existed before and  will continue to exist afterwards, after a temporary lapse in ego
Tx:4.35  a temporary lapse in ego life. Some actually believe that the Soul  will be punished for this lapse, even though in reality it could not

Tx:4.43 The Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the ego  will not prevail against it. Amen.
Tx:4.44  in moments of temptation. It is a Declaration of Independence. You  will find it very helpful if you understand it fully.
Tx:4.49  you have made. You project onto your own idea of yourself the  will to separate, which conflicts with the love you feel for what you
Tx:4.50 Love  will enter immediately into any mind which truly wants it, but it
Tx:4.50  which is so different from anything the ego can offer that you  will never recover. The word “recover” is used quite literally here—
Tx:4.50  never recover. The word “recover” is used quite literally here—you  will never be able to cover or hide again. It is necessary to repeat
Tx:4.51 No force except your own  will is strong enough or worthy enough to guide you. In this you are
Tx:4.52  step around it. Watch your minds for the scraps of meanness or you  will be unable to ask me to do so. I can help you only as our Father
Tx:4.52  to ask me to do so. I can help you only as our Father created us. I  will love you and honor you and maintain complete respect for what
Tx:4.52  you and maintain complete respect for what you have made, but I  will neither honor it nor love it unless it is true.
Tx:4.53 I  will never forsake you any more than God will, but I must wait as
Tx:4.53 I will never forsake you any more than God  will, but I must wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself.
Tx:4.53  forsake yourself. Because I wait in love and not in impatience, you  will surely ask me truly. I will come in response to a single
Tx:4.53  wait in love and not in impatience, you will surely ask me truly. I  will come in response to a single unequivocal call. Watch carefully
Tx:4.53  about this, for we must hide nothing from each other. If you  will really try to do this, you have taken the first step toward
Tx:4.53  first step toward preparing your mind for the Holy One to enter. We  will prepare for this together, for once He has come, you will be
Tx:4.53  enter. We will prepare for this together, for once He has come, you  will be ready to help me make other minds ready for Him. How long
Tx:4.53  will be ready to help me make other minds ready for Him. How long  will you deny Him His Kingdom?
Tx:4.62  you nothing. When you have given up this voluntary dispiriting, you  will see how your mind can focus and rise above fatigue and heal. Yet
Tx:4.64  away and releasing the strength of God into everything you think and  will and do. Do not settle for anything less than this, and refuse
Tx:4.65  in perfect light. To the ego's dark glass you need but say, “I  will not look there because I know these images are not true.” Then
Tx:4.66  first, and I have called you to join with me in the second. If you  will think over your lives, you will see how carefully the
Tx:4.66  join with me in the second. If you will think over your lives, you  will see how carefully the preparations were made. I am in charge of
Tx:4.68 You  will yet come together in my name, and your sanity will be restored.
Tx:4.68 You will yet come together in my name, and your sanity  will be restored. I raised the dead by knowing that life is an
Tx:4.68  an order of difficulty in miracles; you do. I have called, and you  will answer. I know that miracles are natural because they are
Tx:4.74  of the things you want to learn are chosen because their value  will not last. The ego thinks it is an advantage not to commit itself
Tx:4.78  What is the purpose? Whatever it is, you cannot doubt that it  will channelize your efforts automatically. When you make a decision
Tx:4.78  you have made a decision about your future effort, a decision which  will remain in effect unless you change the decision.
Tx:4.82  is a constant state. It is as true now as it ever was or ever  will be because it implies no change at all. It is not a continuum
Tx:4.84  is ego-directed. We cannot safely let it go at that, however, or you  will regard yourselves as necessarily conflicted as long as you are
Tx:4.85  life has continued without interruption and has been and always  will be totally unaffected by your attempts to dissociate. The ratio
Tx:4.86  it forever. You have very little trust in me as yet, but it  will increase as you turn more and more often to me instead of your
Tx:4.86  more often to me instead of your egos for guidance. The results  will convince you increasingly that your choice in turning to me is
Tx:4.89 My trust in you is greater than yours in me at the moment, but it  will not always be that way. Your mission is very simple. You have
Tx:4.89  my trust and always approves my Atonement decisions because my  will is never out of accord with His. I have told you before that I
Tx:4.89  men. My chosen receiving and sending channels cannot fail because I  will lend them my strength as long as theirs is wanting.
Tx:4.90 I  will go with you to the Holy One, and through my perception, He
Tx:4.90  gap. Your gratitude to each other is the only gift I want. I  will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother is
Tx:4.91  the Sonship because they are disengaging themselves from me. God  will come to you only as you will give Him to your brothers. Learn
Tx:4.91  disengaging themselves from me. God will come to you only as you  will give Him to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be
Tx:4.91  as you will give Him to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you  will be ready to hear God as you hear them. That is because the
Tx:4.93  yourselves the other way around. A far greater reward, however,  will break through any conditioning if it is repeatedly offered
Tx:4.95  communication is controlled by its need to protect itself, and it  will disrupt communication when it experiences threat. While this is
Tx:4.95  which must be disrupted, the response of breaking communication  will nevertheless be to a specific person or persons.
Tx:4.96  kind of generalization which is really not abstract at all. It  will respond in certain specific ways to all stimuli which it
Tx:4.97 This communication is the  Will of God. Creation and communication are synonymous. God created
Tx:4.97  it forever as a channel for the reception of His Mind and  Will. Since only beings of a like order can truly communicate, His
Tx:4.102  can hurt them. Their helpfulness is their praise of God, and He  will return their praise of Him because they are like Him, and they
Tx:4.102  whom I direct until we are all united in the joy of the Kingdom. I  will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful and to whoever
Tx:4.104  natural impulse to help, placing you under the strain of divided  will. You may then be tempted to withdraw to allow your ego to
Tx:4.106  to worry about what to say or what to do because He Who sent me  will direct me. I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He
Tx:4.106  content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me. I  will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
Tx:5.6 If you think about it, you  will see that, while this kind of thinking is totally alien to having

Tx:5.10  I myself said, “If I go I will send you another comforter, and He  will abide with you.” The Holy Spirit is a difficult concept to grasp
Tx:5.17  it to what the Children of God were before healing was needed and  will be when they have been healed. This alteration of the time
Tx:5.17  The Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracle-mindedness, the  will to heal the separation by letting it go. This will is in
Tx:5.17  the will to heal the separation by letting it go. This  will is in you, because God placed it in your mind, and although
Tx:5.18 God Himself keeps this  will alive by transmitting it from His Mind to yours as long as there
Tx:5.18  and partly yours. The miracle itself is just this fusion or union of  will between Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. He
Tx:5.19  His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before and  will be again.
Tx:5.20  the Atonement is complete and the whole Sonship is healed, there  will be no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy

Tx:5.21  Before the separation you did not need guidance. You knew as you  will know again, but as you do not know now. God does not guide
Tx:5.22  was broken because you had made another voice through another  will. The Holy Spirit calls you both to remember and to forget. You
Tx:5.22  there are choices which you must make. In the holy state, the  will is free in the sense that its creative power is unlimited, but
Tx:5.23  create, but its application is different. Choosing means divided  will. The Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. This way is in you
Tx:5.23  Him. The voice they put in their minds was not the voice of His  Will for which the Holy Spirit speaks. The call to return is stronger
Tx:5.26 The Holy Spirit is the way in which God's  Will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth
Tx:5.26  Heaven and earth are in you, because the call of both is in your  will and therefore in your mind. The Voice for God comes from your
Tx:5.26  has given you the two voices, and you must choose at which altar you  will to serve. The call you answer now is an evaluation because it is
Tx:5.27 My mind  will always be like yours, because we were created as equals. It was
Tx:5.27  to you is to help you make the same decision for yourself. The  will for this decision is the will to share it, because the

Tx:5.27  of the models you value and choose to follow in determining what you  will to learn. I am your model for decision. By deciding for God, I
Tx:5.28  task is the joyous one of waking it to the Call for God. Everyone  will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as
Tx:5.30  law that behavior is a response to motivation, and motivation is  will. I have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond
Tx:5.30  to the same mind to do this. This mind is the Holy Spirit, whose  will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep me as the model
Tx:5.34  him. See him through the Holy Spirit in his mind, and you  will recognize Him in yours. What you acknowledge in your brother
Tx:5.35  in itself, but it is limited by your unwillingness to hear it.  Will itself is an idea and is therefore strengthened by being shared.
Tx:5.35  of looking for the Holy Spirit in yourself alone, your meditations  will frighten you because by adopting the ego's viewpoint you are
Tx:5.39  ego becomes strong in strife. If you believe there is strife, you  will react viciously because the idea of danger has entered your

Tx:5.41  learner without going counter to his will because part of his  will is still for God. Despite the ego's attempts to conceal this
Tx:5.46  fail to acknowledge anything that is true. However, the Holy Spirit  will not fail to help you reinterpret everything that you perceive as
Tx:5.50 You cannot cancel out your past errors alone. They  will not disappear from your mind without remedy. The remedy is
Tx:5.51  by the ego, so we can clarify an earlier point. We said that you  will one day teach as much as you learn and that will keep you in
Tx:5.51  We said that you will one day teach as much as you learn and that  will keep you in balance. The time is now because you have let it
Tx:5.52  could not atone for myself alone. Listening to one voice means the  will to share the voice in order to hear it yourself. The mind that
Tx:5.55  you join it and give it away. As you teach, so shall you learn. I  will never leave you or forsake you, because to forsake you would be
Tx:5.55  forsake you would be to forsake myself and God who created me. You  will forsake yourselves and God if you forsake any of your

Tx:5.57  long as any of God's ideas withhold it from the Kingdom. The joint  will of all the Sonship is the only creator that can create like
Tx:5.59 Perhaps some of our concepts  will become clearer and more personally meaningful if the ego's use
Tx:5.63  is a sure sign that your thinking is unnatural. Perverted thinking  will always be attended with guilt because it is the belief in
Tx:5.64  ego's survival, because as soon as you regard sin as a lack you  will automatically attempt to remedy the situation. And you will
Tx:5.64  you will automatically attempt to remedy the situation. And you  will succeed. The ego regards this as doom, but you must learn to

Tx:5.66  is a judgment which is anything but ineffectual. Its effects  will follow automatically until the decision is changed. This is
Tx:5.70 The continuing  will to remain separated is the only possible reason for continuing
Tx:5.70  results of this decision at that time. Any decision of the mind  will affect both behavior and experience. What you will, you
Tx:5.70  of the mind will affect both behavior and experience. What you  will, you expect. This is not delusional. Your mind does create

Tx:5.72  for love, and pain for peace. My role is only to unchain your  will and make it free. Your ego cannot accept this freedom and will

Tx:6.72  is because a change in motivation is a change of mind, and this  will inevitably produce fundamental change, because the mind is
Tx:6.74  more so than is any other product of thought. The fundamental change  will still occur with the change of mind in the thinker. Meanwhile,
Tx:6.75  peace of mind is impossible. If you teach both, which you  will surely do as long as you accept both, you are teaching
Tx:6.81 As you take this step and hold this direction, you  will be pushing toward the center of your thought system where the
Tx:6.81  the center of your thought system where the fundamental change  will occur. You are only beginning this step now, but you have

Tx:6.88  that you need not choose at all. This will finally liberate your  will from choice and direct it towards creation within the
Tx:6.88  creation within the Kingdom. Choosing through the Holy Spirit  will lead you to the Kingdom. You create by what you are, but

Tx:7.24 That is why you  will be able to perform all aspects of your work with ease when you
Tx:7.37 To oppose the pull or the  Will of God is not an ability but a real delusion. The ego believes
Tx:7.40  in accordance with what you do not believe. To do this, however,  will weaken you as teachers and learners because, as has been

Tx:7.61 If you  will keep in mind what the Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be
Tx:7.65  of God. Any belief that you accept which is apart from this  will obscure God's Voice in you and will therefore obscure God to
Tx:7.65  accept which is apart from this will obscure God's Voice in you and  will therefore obscure God to you. Unless you perceive His creation
Tx:7.67  sanity as wholly desirable. If you want something else, you  will make something else, but because it is something else, it
Tx:7.67  will make something else, but because it is something else, it  will attack your thought system and divide your allegiance. You
Tx:7.68  God and are therefore depriving yourselves of joy. This is not God's  Will but yours. If your will is out of accord with God's, you are
Tx:7.68  yourselves of joy. This is not God's Will but yours. If your  will is out of accord with God's, you are willing without meaning.
Tx:7.68  with God's, you are willing without meaning. Yet because God's  Will is unchangeable, no real conflict of will is possible. This is
Tx:7.68  Yet because God's Will is unchangeable, no real conflict of  will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit's perfectly consistent
Tx:7.69 Creation, not separation, is your  will because it is God's, and nothing that opposes this means
Tx:7.70 Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother, you  will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total as love. It is
Tx:7.71  destructively. Used negatively it will be destructive because it  will be used for attack, but in the service of the Holy Spirit, [the
Tx:7.71  all of it. Mind is too powerful to be subject to exclusion. You  will never be able to exclude yourself from what you project.
Tx:7.73  would not want to be. Your brother is the mirror in which you  will see the image of yourself as long as perception lasts. And
Tx:7.74  must last as long as you want it. Illusions are investments. They  will last as long as you value them. Values are relative, but they
Tx:7.74  dispel illusions is to withdraw all investment from them, and they  will have no life for you, because you have put them out of your
Tx:7.75  confusion comes from not extending life, since that is not the  Will of your Creator. You can do nothing apart from Him, and you do

Tx:7.79  If you will to separate yourself from God, that is what you  will think others are doing to you.
Tx:7.80 You are the  Will of God. Do not accept anything else as your will, or you are
Tx:7.80 You are the Will of God. Do not accept anything else as your  will, or you are denying what you are. Deny this and you will
Tx:7.80  you have been attacked. But see the love of God in you, and you  will see it everywhere, because it is everywhere. See His abundance
Tx:7.80  because it is everywhere. See His abundance in everyone, and you  will know that you are in Him with them. They are part of you, as
Tx:7.81  wholly perfect, and wholly desirable. Wanting this only, you  will have this only, and giving this only, you will be only this.
Tx:7.81  this only, you will have this only, and giving this only, you  will be only this. The gifts you offer to the ego are always
Tx:7.81  but the gifts you offer to the Kingdom are gifts to you. They  will always be treasured by God, because they belong to His beloved
Tx:7.83  up to you, but it is not up to you to decide whether or not you  will utilize projection. Every mind must project, because that is
Tx:7.84  it does not want you to find conflict so intolerable that you  will insist on giving it up. Therefore, the ego tries to persuade
Tx:7.86  for their own safety. They are afraid that their projections  will return and hurt them. They do believe they have blotted their
Tx:7.88  the responsibility for your belief in it onto anyone else, or you  will preserve the belief. When you are willing to accept sole
Tx:7.88  accept sole responsibility for the ego's existence yourself, you  will have laid aside all anger and all attack, because they come
Tx:7.88  the Holy Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects  will vanish from your minds and from the Sonship as a whole.
Tx:7.89 The Holy Spirit  will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond
Tx:7.90  of this course is to teach you that the ego is unbelievable and  will forever be unbelievable. You who made the ego by believing the

Tx:7.99  mind. Whatever these beliefs may be, they are the premises which  will determine what you accept into your mind. It is surely clear
Tx:7.100  has nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's  Will. Share His Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His Will
Tx:7.100  do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's Will. Share His  Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours, and you
Tx:7.100  Will. Share His Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His  Will as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The Holy

Tx:7.101  Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego. But you  will be sacrificing nothing. On the contrary, you will be gaining
Tx:7.101  the ego. But you will be sacrificing nothing. On the contrary, you  will be gaining everything. If you believed this, there would be
Tx:7.102  not obvious to you. You believe that doing the opposite of God's  Will can be better for you. You also believe that it is possible to
Tx:7.102  You also believe that it is possible to do the opposite of God's  Will. Therefore, you believe that an impossible choice is open to you
Tx:7.102  and very desirable. Yet God wills. He does not wish. Your  will is as powerful as His because it is His. The ego's wishes do
Tx:7.104  you, and therefore your trustworthiness is beyond question. It  will always remain beyond question, however much you may question
Tx:7.105 We said before that you are the  Will of God. His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification

Tx:7.105  His Will is not optional, since it is what you are. Sharing His  Will with me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be.
Tx:7.105  Everything has been given you by God's decision. That is His  Will, and you can not undo it. Even the relinquishment of your

Tx:7.106  means that you are confused about what you are. If you are God's  Will and do not accept His Will[, you can only be not accepting
Tx:7.107 The Holy Spirit  will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is
Tx:7.107  always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is His  Will for everyone, because He speaks for the Kingdom of God which
Tx:7.107  yourselves that there is no order of difficulty in miracles, you  will convince yourselves that in your natural state there is no
Tx:7.108  he knows he is with God. That is the only environment in which he  will not experience strain, because that is where he belongs. It is
Tx:7.113  He created to know what they have shared. Without your Father, you  will not know your fatherhood. The Kingdom of God includes all His
Tx:7.113  Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you  will know all creation.
Tx:8.2 Knowledge  will be restored when you meet its conditions. This is not a bargain
Tx:8.2  It is merely the result of your misuse of His laws on behalf of a  will that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If you are opposing
Tx:8.2  of His laws on behalf of a will that is not His. Knowledge is His  Will. If you are opposing His Will, how can you have knowledge? I
Tx:8.2  that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If you are opposing His  Will, how can you have knowledge? I have told you what knowledge
Tx:8.3  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 to the ego
Tx:8.7  is unaffected by both, but if you listen to both, your mind  will be split about what your reality is.
Tx:8.9  you have. When you are taught against your nature, however, you  will lose by your learning because your learning will imprison you.
Tx:8.9  however, you will lose by your learning because your learning  will imprison you. Your will is in your nature and therefore
Tx:8.9  by your learning because your learning will imprison you. Your  will is in your nature and therefore cannot go against it.
Tx:8.10 The ego cannot teach you anything as long as your  will is free, because you will not listen to it. It is not your
Tx:8.10  cannot teach you anything as long as your will is free, because you  will not listen to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned,

Tx:8.10  to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned, because your  will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is
Tx:8.10  your will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free  will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His Will
Tx:8.10  free will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His  Will with you. His Voice teaches only His Will, but that is not the
Tx:8.10  because He shares His Will with you. His Voice teaches only His  Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's lesson because that is what
Tx:8.10  lesson because that is what you are. The lesson is that your  will and God's cannot be out of accord, because they are one. This
Tx:8.11 The ego wants to teach you that you want to oppose God's  Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, but the attempt to
Tx:8.11  it is a violation of your own freedom and makes you afraid of your  will because it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning
Tx:8.11  it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the  will of a Son of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the
Tx:8.11  any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, knowing that the  will of the Son is the Father's. The Holy Spirit leads you steadily
Tx:8.13  Yet He cannot conceive of God without you, because it is not God's  Will to be without you. When you have learned that your will is
Tx:8.13  not God's Will to be without you. When you have learned that your  will is God's, you could no more will to be without Him than He
Tx:8.13  When you have learned that your will is God's, you could no more  will to be without Him than He could will to be without you. This
Tx:8.13  is God's, you could no more will to be without Him than He could  will to be without you. This is freedom and this is joy. Deny
Tx:8.14 The  Will of God is without limit, and all power and glory lie within it.
Tx:8.14  By creating all things, it made them part of itself. You are the  Will of God, because this is how you were created. Because your
Tx:8.16  understanding and enlightenment, you will learn it, because your  will to learn it is your decision to listen to the Teacher who

Tx:8.17 To fulfill the  Will of God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully
Tx:8.17  there is no other experience. Yet the wish for other experience  will block its accomplishment, because God's Will cannot be forced
Tx:8.17  for other experience will block its accomplishment, because God's  Will cannot be forced upon you, being an experience of total
Tx:8.17  why you need Him and why God gave Him to you. Only His teaching  will release your will to God's, uniting it with His power and glory
Tx:8.17  and why God gave Him to you. Only His teaching will release your  will to God's, uniting it with His power and glory and establishing
Tx:8.18 The  will of Father and of the Son are one together by their extension.
Tx:8.18  oneness, holding their unity together by extending their joint  will. This is perfect creation by the perfectly created in union with

Tx:8.19  As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you  will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself.
Tx:8.19  As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you  will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find
Tx:8.19  him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you  will find yourself or lose sight of yourself. Whenever two Sons of
Tx:8.21  learning what you are because you are teaching what you are. He  will respond either with pain or with joy, depending on which teacher
Tx:8.21  or with joy, depending on which teacher you are following. He  will be imprisoned or released according to your decision, and so
Tx:8.21  will be imprisoned or released according to your decision, and so  will you. Never forget your responsibility to him, because it is
Tx:8.21  to yourself. Give him his place in the Kingdom, and you  will have yours. The Kingdom cannot be found alone, and you who
Tx:8.22  What other choice could you make? Having made this choice, you  will begin to learn and understand why you have believed that when
Tx:8.22  someone else. And every holy encounter in which you enter fully  will teach you this is not so.
Tx:8.23  God and therefore in you. God wills no one suffer. He does not  will anyone to suffer for a wrong decision, including you. That is
Tx:8.24  of your self is the function He gave you. Fulfilling it perfectly  will teach you what you have of Him, and this will teach you what
Tx:8.24  it perfectly will teach you what you have of Him, and this  will teach you what you are in Him. You cannot be powerless to do
Tx:8.25 If God's  Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience only
Tx:8.25  you experience only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His  Will. His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you
Tx:8.25  only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His Will. His  Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you are not
Tx:8.27  and of Him Who sent me to you. You were in darkness until God's  Will was done completely by any part of the Sonship. When this was

Tx:8.27  My mission was simply to unite the will of the Sonship with the  Will of the Father by being aware of the Father's Will myself. This
Tx:8.27  Sonship with the Will of the Father by being aware of the Father's  Will myself. This is the awareness I came to give you, and your
Tx:8.28  Your reactions to me are the reactions of the world to God. If you  will accept the fact that I am with you, you are denying the world
Tx:8.28  I am with you, you are denying the world and accepting God. My  will is His, and your will to hear me is the decision to hear His
Tx:8.28  denying the world and accepting God. My will is His, and your  will to hear me is the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His
Tx:8.28  will to hear me is the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His  Will. As God sent me to you, so will I send you to others, and I will

Tx:8.29  receive it? For unless you do, you will not receive it. If you  will to have it of me, you must give it. Rehabilitation does not
Tx:8.29  it from within. The guidance must [become] what you want, or it  will be meaningless to you. That is why rehabilitation is a
Tx:8.30 I can tell you what to do, but this  will not help you unless you collaborate by believing that I know
Tx:8.30  you collaborate by believing that I know what to do. Only then  will your mind choose to follow me. Without your will, you cannot
Tx:8.30  to do. Only then will your mind choose to follow me. Without your  will, you cannot be rehabilitated. Motivation to be healed is the
Tx:8.30  Without this you are deciding against healing, and your veto of my  will for you makes healing impossible. If healing is our joint
Tx:8.30  will for you makes healing impossible. If healing is our joint  will, unless our wills are joined you cannot be healed. This is

Tx:8.31  will is the means by which you determine your own condition, because  will is the mechanism of decision. It is the power by which you
Tx:8.31  you separate or join and experience pain or joy accordingly. My  will cannot overcome yours, because yours is as powerful as mine.

Tx:8.31  through our joint will, but my will alone cannot help you. Your  will is as free as mine, and God Himself would not go against it. I
Tx:8.31  as free as mine, and God Himself would not go against it. I cannot  will what God does not will. I can offer you my will to make
Tx:8.31  Himself would not go against it. I cannot will what God does not  will. I can offer you my will to make yours invincible by this
Tx:8.31  it. I cannot will what God does not will. I can offer you my  will to make yours invincible by this sharing, but I cannot
Tx:8.31  oppose yours without competing with it and thereby violating God's  Will for you.
Tx:8.32 Nothing God created can oppose your  will, as nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your will its
Tx:8.32  your will, as nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your  will its power, which I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If
Tx:8.32  can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you want to be like me, I  will help you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to be
Tx:8.32  you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to be different, I  will wait until you change your mind. I can teach you, but only you
Tx:8.32  of all God's Sons cannot be recognized through the dominion of one  will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all being the Will
Tx:8.32  the dominion of one will over another. God's Sons are equal in  will, all being the Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I
Tx:8.32  one will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all being the  Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I came to teach,
Tx:8.33 When your  will is not mine, it is not our Father's. This means that you have
Tx:8.33  without me, because by denying the Father you deny yourself. I  will always remember you, and in my remembrance of you lies your
Tx:8.33  you whom He created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He  will share with all His creations, to whom He gives equally
Tx:8.33  it is acceptable to Him, it is the gift of freedom, which is His  Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom, you will be free.
Tx:8.33  which is His Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom, you  will be free.
Tx:8.35  a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional believe that truth  will assail them, and so they do not see it, because they prefer
Tx:8.36 Help them by offering them your unified  will on their behalf, as I am offering you mine on yours. Alone we
Tx:8.36  beyond the power of its separate parts. By not being separate, the  Will of God is established in ours and as ours. This will is
Tx:8.36  the Will of God is established in ours and as ours. This  will is invincible, because it is undivided. The undivided will of
Tx:8.36  This will is invincible, because it is undivided. The undivided  will of the Sonship is the perfect creator, being wholly in the
Tx:8.36  is the perfect creator, being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose  Will it is. You cannot be exempt from it if you are to understand
Tx:8.36  to understand what it is and what you are. By separating your  will from mine, you are exempting yourself from the Will of God,
Tx:8.36  your will from mine, you are exempting yourself from the  Will of God, which is yourself.
Tx:8.37  of yourself. There is no separation of God and His creation. You  will learn this as you learn that there is no separation of your
Tx:8.37  will learn this as you learn that there is no separation of your  will and mine. Let the love of God shine upon you by your
Tx:8.37  acceptance of me. My reality is yours and His. By joining your  will with mine, you are signifying your awareness that the Will of
Tx:8.37  your will with mine, you are signifying your awareness that the  Will of God is one.
Tx:8.38  because they are united. The miracles we do bear witness to the  Will of the Father for His Son and to our joy in uniting with His
Tx:8.38  Will of the Father for His Son and to our joy in uniting with His  Will for us.
Tx:8.39  wills, because nothing can prevail against God's. Would you know the  Will of God for you? Ask it of me who knows it for you, and you
Tx:8.39  Will of God for you? Ask it of me who knows it for you, and you  will find it. I will deny you nothing, as God denies me nothing.
Tx:8.39  you? Ask it of me who knows it for you, and you will find it. I  will deny you nothing, as God denies me nothing.
Tx:8.40  instead of the ego. Do not try to hold on to both, or you  will try to go in different directions and will lose the way.
Tx:8.40  hold on to both, or you will try to go in different directions and  will lose the way.
Tx:8.41  therefore for my hand, because you want to transcend the ego. My  will will never be wanting, and if you want to share it you
Tx:8.41  for my hand, because you want to transcend the ego. My will  will never be wanting, and if you want to share it you will. I
Tx:8.42 We are the joint  will of the Sonship, whose wholeness is for all. We begin the journey
Tx:8.42  and add their strength to us. God's welcome waits for us all, and He  will welcome us as I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God
Tx:8.43  If it were, you would have destroyed yourselves. Yet God did not  will the destruction of His creations, having created them for
Tx:8.43  destruction of His creations, having created them for eternity. His  Will has saved you, not from yourselves, but from your illusions of
Tx:8.47 Your function is to add to God's treasure by creating yours. His  Will to you is His Will for you. He would not withhold creation
Tx:8.47  add to God's treasure by creating yours. His Will to you is His  Will for you. He would not withhold creation from you, because
Tx:8.47  can know his function unless he knows who he is. Creation is the  Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your will was not
Tx:8.47  unless he knows who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His  Will created you to create. Your will was not created separate from
Tx:8.47  Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your  will was not created separate from His, and so it wills as He wills.
Tx:8.48  that has no meaning at all.] When you think you are unwilling to  will with God, you are not thinking. God's Will is thought. It
Tx:8.48  you are unwilling to will with God, you are not thinking. God's  Will is thought. It cannot be contradicted by thought. God does
Tx:8.49  you should ever ask of yourself: “Do I want to know my Father's  Will for me?” He will not hide it. He has revealed it to me,
Tx:8.49  ask of yourself: “Do I want to know my Father's Will for me?” He  will not hide it. He has revealed it to me, because I asked it of Him
Tx:8.49  of us alone. God would not have us be alone, because He does not  will to be alone. That is why He created His Son and gave him the
Tx:8.51  experience is of God. Together we can meet its conditions, but truth  will dawn upon you of itself.
Tx:8.52 What God has willed for you is yours. He has given His  Will to His treasure, whose treasure it is. Your heart lies where
Tx:8.52  of God are wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and free the holy  will of all those who are as blessed as you are.
Tx:8.53  have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself with a body, you  will always experience depression. When a Child of God thinks of
Tx:8.54  uniting them with yours and mine. This interpretation of the body  will change your mind entirely about its value. Of itself it has
Tx:8.55  bodies and teach them through the body that this is not so, you  will begin to understand the power of the mind that is in both of
Tx:8.56  to the use to which it is put. And in the body of another you  will see the use to which you have put yours. If the body becomes
Tx:8.56  to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you  will not see anything physical except as what it is. Use it for
Tx:8.56  anything physical except as what it is. Use it for truth, and you  will see it truly. Misuse it, and you will misunderstand it,
Tx:8.56  it. Interpret anything apart from the Holy Spirit, and you  will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred and attack and loss
Tx:8.56  apart from the Holy Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This  will lead you to hatred and attack and loss of peace.
Tx:8.58  glory for you, with which you can perfectly accomplish His holy  will for you when you so will it yourself. He has not withdrawn His
Tx:8.58  which you can perfectly accomplish His holy will for you when you so  will it yourself. He has not withdrawn His gifts from you, but you
Tx:8.63  perception of the body and, by blocking its own extension beyond it,  will induce illness by fostering separation. Perceiving the body as
Tx:8.63  foster illness because it is not true. A medium of communication  will lose its usefulness if it is used for anything else. To use a
Tx:8.68  is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this world, and you  will open your mind to creation in God.
Tx:8.71  to shift from one end to another without ceasing, so that you  will continue to hope that it can yet offer you something.
Tx:8.75  end. The ego, however, establishes it as an end because as such it  will lose its true function. This is the purpose of everything
Tx:8.78  cases. Nor can anyone doubt your willingness to listen until you  will not to tolerate anything except truth. When you lay the ego
Tx:8.78  tolerate anything except truth. When you lay the ego aside, it  will be gone. The Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as your willingness
Tx:8.78  willingness to listen. It cannot be louder without violating your  will, which the Holy Spirit seeks to free but never to command.
Tx:8.79  reach your brothers, so He can teach His message through you. This  will heal them and therefore heal you. Everything used in
Tx:8.79  of your own perception of littleness. Do not let it reflect your  will to attack. Health is the natural state of anything whose
Tx:8.81  your awareness of its reality. You do not have to seek reality. It  will seek you and find you when you meet its conditions. Its
Tx:8.81  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:8.82  has use for sleep and can use dreams on behalf of waking if you  will let Him.
Tx:8.84  the fear of waking and the substitution of the will to wake. The  will to wake is the will to love, since all healing involves
Tx:8.84  and the substitution of the will to wake. The will to wake is the  will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love.
Tx:8.85 The ego, which always weakens the  will, wants to separate the body from the mind. This is an attempt
Tx:8.89  cannot lose this, but you can not know it. Yet it is still His  Will for you, and His Will must stand forever and in all things.
Tx:8.89  you can not know it. Yet it is still His Will for you, and His  Will must stand forever and in all things.
Tx:8.90 Fear of the  Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has
Tx:8.90  since reality can only uphold truth. The very fact that the  Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as fearful to you
Tx:8.90  that you are afraid of what you are. It is not, then, the  Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your will is
Tx:8.90  then, the Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your  will is not the ego's, and that is why the ego is against you.
Tx:8.91  that what you are is fearful, then it must follow that you  will not learn this course. Yet you might remember that the reason
Tx:8.92  you of what you want. He is not attempting to force an alien  will upon you. He is merely making every possible effort, within
Tx:8.92  within the limits you impose on Him, to re-establish your own  will in your consciousness.
Tx:8.93 You have imprisoned your  will in your unconscious, where it remains available but cannot
Tx:8.93  has the power to look into what you have hidden and perceive the  Will of God there. His perception of this will can make it real to
Tx:8.93  hidden and perceive the Will of God there. His perception of this  will can make it real to you because He is in your mind and
Tx:8.94  possibly have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit  will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the
Tx:8.94  the Holy Spirit must remind you that this is not God's  Will because it is not yours. There is no difference between your
Tx:8.94  because it is not yours. There is no difference between your  will and God's. If you did not have split minds, you would recognize
Tx:8.94  through creation because that, and only that, is your joint  will.
Tx:8.95  for what you do not want? Yet as long as you are afraid of your  will, this is precisely what you will ask for. You may insist that
Tx:8.96  in asking the teacher who could not possibly teach you your  will. Of him you can never learn it, and this gives you the
Tx:8.96  from truth but only in it. Reality is the only safety. Your  will is your salvation because it is the same as God's. The
Tx:8.97 No mind can believe that its  will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its
Tx:8.97  will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its  will is different from His, it can only decide either that there is
Tx:8.97  His, it can only decide either that there is no God or that God's  Will is fearful. The former accounts for the atheist and the latter
Tx:8.97  sacrifices of any kind. Either basic type of insane decision  will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone, and the
Tx:8.98 The atheist maintains that God has left him, but he does not care. He  will, however, become very fearful and hence very angry if anyone
Tx:8.98  was never created. It was never created, because it was never your  will for you.
Tx:8.99 Ultimately everyone must remember the  Will of God, because ultimately everyone must recognize himself.
Tx:8.99  recognize himself. This recognition is the recognition that his  will and God's are one. In the presence of truth, there are no
Tx:8.99  the only Cause. God is Love, and you do want Him. This is your  will. Ask for this and you will be answered because you will be
Tx:8.99  is your will. Ask for this and you will be answered because you  will be asking only for what belongs to you.
Tx:8.100  of the Holy Spirit because your requests are real, being of your  will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And could He fail
Tx:8.100  are real, being of your will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the  Will of God? And could He fail to recognize it in His Sons?
Tx:8.101  totally at variance with the principle of creation. God could not  will that happiness depended on what you could never have.
Tx:8.102  for you to change them. If you hold your hands over your eyes, you  will not see because you are interfering with the laws of seeing.
Tx:8.102  you are interfering with the laws of seeing. If you deny love, you  will not know it because your cooperation is the law of its
Tx:8.104  be created. As long as you believe that fear is possible, you  will not create. Opposing orders of reality make reality
Tx:8.105 Remember, then, that God's  Will is already possible and nothing else will ever be. This is
Tx:8.105  then, that God's Will is already possible and nothing else  will ever be. This is the simple acceptance of reality, because
Tx:8.105  reality and know what it is. And if you do distort reality, you  will experience anxiety, depression, and ultimately panic, because
Tx:8.109  The very fact that one has asked the Holy Spirit for anything  will ensure a response. Yet it is equally certain that no response
Tx:8.109  it is equally certain that no response given by the Holy Spirit  will ever be one which would increase fear. It is possible that His
Tx:8.109  be one which would increase fear. It is possible that His answer  will not be heard at all. It is impossible, however, that it will
Tx:8.109  will not be heard at all. It is impossible, however, that it  will be lost. There are many answers which you have already received
Tx:8.110  his words are true because of the truth which is in him. You  will unite with the truth in him, and his words will be true. As
Tx:8.110  is in him. You will unite with the truth in him, and his words  will be true. As you hear him, you will hear me. Listening to
Tx:8.110  truth in him, and his words will be true. As you hear him, you  will hear me. Listening to truth is the only way you can hear it
Tx:8.112  you are not alone. And His answer is only for what you are. You  will not know the trust I have in you unless you extend it. You
Tx:8.112  will not know the trust I have in you unless you extend it. You  will not trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit or believe that it is
Tx:8.113  God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You  will be answered as you hear the answer in everyone. Do not listen
Tx:8.113  the answer in everyone. Do not listen to anything else, or you  will not hear truth.
Tx:8.114 Believe in your brothers because I believe in you, and you  will learn that my belief in you is justified. Believe in me by
Tx:8.115  cannot be grateful for what you do not value. There is a price you  will pay for judgment because judgment is the setting of a price.
Tx:8.116 If paying is equated with getting, you  will set the price low but demand a high return. You will have
Tx:8.116  you will set the price low but demand a high return. You  will have forgotten, however, that [to price is to value, so] your
Tx:8.116  as loss, and the reciprocal relationship of giving and receiving  will be recognized. The price will then be set high because of the
Tx:8.116  relationship of giving and receiving will be recognized. The price  will then be set high because of the value of the return. The price
Tx:8.116  getting is to lose sight of value, making it inevitable that you  will not value what you receive. Valuing it little, you will not
Tx:8.116  that you will not value what you receive. Valuing it little, you  will not appreciate it and will not want it.

Tx:8.118  much you will be asking of Him and how much you will receive. He  will deny you nothing because you have denied Him nothing, and so

Tx:9.6  to them as if they were real is to make them real to you. You  will not escape paying the price for this, not because you are being
Tx:9.6  punished for it, but because you are following the wrong guide and  will lose your way.
Tx:9.8 Do not undertake His function, or you  will forget yours. Accept only the function of healing in time,
Tx:9.8  you have made. Give it to Him! You do not know how to use it. He  will teach you how to see yourself without condemnation by learning
Tx:9.8  by learning how to look on everything without it. Condemnation  will then not be real to you, and all your errors will be forgiven.
Tx:9.9  error, and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you  will believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what
Tx:9.10  to correction. And if you do not follow this Guide, your errors  will not be corrected. The plan is not yours, because of your
Tx:9.11  cannot look on your abilities through the eyes of the ego, or you  will judge them as it does. All their harmfulness lies in its
Tx:9.12  course, makes no sense and will not work. By following it, you  will merely place yourself in an impossible situation to which the

Tx:9.18  of finding satisfaction in reality. Yet it is certain that he  will never find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his only hope is
Tx:9.18  only in fantasy. When you search for reality in fantasies, you  will not find it. The symbols of fantasy are of the ego, and of

Tx:9.26 Healing is not mysterious. Nothing  will occur unless you understand it, since light is understanding.
Tx:9.27  longer believes in nightmares of any kind. The light in his mind  will therefore answer the questioner, who must decide with God that
Tx:9.28  only let Him fulfill His function. He needs no help for this. He  will tell you exactly what to do to help anyone He sends to you
Tx:9.28  exactly what to do to help anyone He sends to you for help and  will speak to him through you if you do not interfere. Remember
Tx:9.28  that you are choosing a guide for helping, and the wrong choice  will not help. But remember also that the right one will. Trust
Tx:9.29  other minds to the Holy Spirit through Him and not yourself, you  will understand that you are not obeying the laws of this world, but
Tx:9.29  it provides the Guide who tells you what to do. If you do it, you  will see that it works. Its results are more convincing than its
Tx:9.29  it works. Its results are more convincing than its words. They  will convince you that the words are true. By following the right
Tx:9.29  you that the words are true. By following the right Guide you  will learn the simplest of all lessons—
Tx:9.32  your evaluations of His consistency. When you are inconsistent, you  will not always give rise to joy and so you will not always
Tx:9.32  inconsistent, you will not always give rise to joy and so you  will not always recognize His consistency. What you offer to your
Tx:9.32  giving, but simply because you have limited your receiving. The  will to receive is the will to accept.
Tx:9.32  you have limited your receiving. The will to receive is the  will to accept.
Tx:9.33 If your brothers are part of you,  will you accept them? Only they can teach you what you are, and
Tx:9.34  you. Therefore you can create as He did, and your dissociation  will not alter this. Neither God's light nor yours is dimmed
Tx:9.34  Son, for knowledge is shared with God. When you awake in Him you  will know your magnitude by accepting His limitlessness as yours,
Tx:9.34  by accepting His limitlessness as yours, but meanwhile you  will judge it as you judge your brothers' and will accept it as you
Tx:9.34  but meanwhile you will judge it as you judge your brothers' and  will accept it as you accept theirs.
Tx:9.35  Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you  will learn what waking means, and because you have willed to wake
Tx:9.35  their gratitude and their appreciation of what you have given them  will teach you its value. They will become the witnesses to your
Tx:9.35  of what you have given them will teach you its value. They  will become the witnesses to your reality, as you were created
Tx:9.35  Yet when the Sonship comes together and accepts its oneness, it  will be known by its creations, who witness to its reality as the Son
Tx:9.37  your brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you  will find your creations, because he created them with you. You
Tx:9.37  will find your creations, because he created them with you. You  will never know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that
Tx:9.38 God's  Will is your salvation. Would He not have given you the means to find
Tx:9.38  to save yourself. Do not lose these chances, not because they  will not return, but because delay of joy is needless. God wills you
Tx:9.38  perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not also your  will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your
Tx:9.38  not also your will? And is it possible that this is not also the  will of your brothers?
Tx:9.39 Consider, then, that in this joint  will you are all united, and in this only. There will be
Tx:9.39  in this joint will you are all united, and in this only. There  will be disagreement on anything else, but not on this. This, then,
Tx:9.42 The ego  will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become clearly
Tx:9.42  clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when it  will shift abruptly from suspiciousness to viciousness, since its
Tx:9.42  of what you are? If you are willing to see yourself as unloving, you  will not be happy. You are condemning yourself and must therefore
Tx:9.47 Remember this when the ego speaks, and you  will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty that nothing
Tx:9.47  for you do not want anything else. Return your part of Him, and He  will give you all of Himself in exchange for your return of what
Tx:9.48  of the ego is its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which  will you choose?
Tx:9.49  as you despair of yourself. It shifts to viciousness whenever you  will not tolerate self-abasement and seek relief. Then it offers you
Tx:9.50  withdraw to attack later. If you accept its offer of grandiosity, it  will attack immediately. If you do not, it will wait.
Tx:9.50  offer of grandiosity, it will attack immediately. If you do not, it  will wait.
Tx:9.51  real, it is compellingly convincing. Yet the conviction of reality  will not remain with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack
Tx:9.51  with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack it. The ego  will make every effort to recover and mobilize its energies against
Tx:9.51  to recover and mobilize its energies against your release. It  will tell you that you are insane and argue that grandeur cannot be
Tx:9.54  Yet it must be insane because it is not true. Your grandeur  will never deceive you, but your illusions always will. Illusions
Tx:9.54  Your grandeur will never deceive you, but your illusions always  will. Illusions are deceptions. You cannot triumph, but you are
Tx:9.55  from grandiosity because love is returned, but pride is not. Pride  will not produce miracles and therefore will deprive you of your true
Tx:9.55  but pride is not. Pride will not produce miracles and therefore  will deprive you of your true witnesses to your reality. Truth is not
Tx:9.56  it, the Holy Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the  Will of God does not exist at all. Grandiosity is delusional, because
Tx:9.58  not vary. It merely is. Ask the Holy Spirit what it is and He  will tell you, but do not be afraid of His answer, for it comes from
Tx:9.60  you are God's only creation, and He created you eternal? Your holy  will establishes everything that happens to you. Every response
Tx:9.60  you make to everything you perceive is up to you, because your  will determines your perception of it.
Tx:9.61  create for your self so you could be like Him. That is why your  will is holy. Can anything exceed the love of God? Can anything,
Tx:9.61  anything exceed the love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your  will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, being in God,
Tx:9.63  changeless, and refuse to change your mind about yourself. God  will never decide against you, or He would be deciding against
Tx:9.65  of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. Is it your  will to do so? You know from your own experience that what you see in
Tx:9.66  yet that it once was so. And it is in this remembering that you  will know it can be so again. What is possible has not yet been
Tx:9.66  has once been is so now if it is eternal. When you remember, you  will know what you remember is eternal and therefore is now.
Tx:9.67 You  will remember everything the instant you desire it wholly, for if
Tx:9.67  you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly is to create, you  will have willed away the separation, returning your mind
Tx:9.67  to your Creator and your creations. Knowing them, you  will have no wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad.
Tx:9.67  Knowing them, you will have no wish to sleep but only the  will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you
Tx:9.67  have no wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad. Dreams  will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at
Tx:9.67  will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you  will want only truth, and being at last your will, it will be yours.
Tx:9.67  because you will want only truth, and being at last your  will, it will be yours.
Tx:9.67  because you will want only truth, and being at last your will, it  will be yours.
Tx:9.69  and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your  will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of God and of yourself
Tx:9.69  way of your remembering, for God is in your memory, and His Voice  will tell you that you are part of Him when you are willing to
Tx:9.70  world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God  will do His part if you will do yours, and His return in exchange
Tx:9.70  counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God will do His part if you  will do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is the exchange
Tx:9.70  the exchange of knowledge for perception. Nothing is beyond His  Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him and behold! He
Tx:9.70  perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your  will to remember Him and behold! He will give you everything but for
Tx:9.70  Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him and behold! He  will give you everything but for the asking.
Tx:9.71  defenses always constitutes an attack on truth and truth is God, you  will realize why this is always fearful. If you further recognize
Tx:9.71  fearful. If you further recognize that you are part of God, you  will understand why it is that you always attack yourself first.
Tx:9.73  Yet the logical outcome of your decision is perfectly clear if you  will look at it. By deciding against your reality, you have made
Tx:9.74  God, and you do love Him. Can you change your reality? No one can  will to destroy himself. When you think you are attacking yourself,
Tx:9.75  have them released from their sickness and returned to His Mind. He  will not limit your power to help them, because He has given it
Tx:9.78  willing to keep it hidden and to protect this idol, which you think  will save you from the dangers which the idol itself stands for,
Tx:9.80  mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I  will heal you merely because I have only one message, and it is
Tx:9.80  because I have only one message, and it is true. Your faith in it  will make you whole when you have faith in me.
Tx:9.81 I do not bring God's message with deception, and you  will learn this as you learn that you always receive as much as you
Tx:9.81  because you heard. But have no other gods before Him, or you  will not hear. God is not jealous of the gods you make, but you
Tx:9.82  to hear him. Yet you did not create him, because he is not the  Will of the Father. He is therefore not eternal and will be unmade
Tx:9.82  he is not the Will of the Father. He is therefore not eternal and  will be unmade for you the instant you signify your willingness to
Tx:9.83  because you honor them. Place honor where it is due, and peace  will be yours. It is your inheritance from your real Father. You
Tx:9.84 Only at the altar of God  will you find peace. And this altar is in you, because God put it
Tx:9.84  God put it there. His Voice still calls you to return, and He  will be heard when you place no other gods before Him. You can give
Tx:9.85  you are afraid of him, because he cannot be reconciled with God's  Will. If you attack him, you will make him real to you. But if you
Tx:9.85  he cannot be reconciled with God's Will. If you attack him, you  will make him real to you. But if you refuse to worship him in
Tx:9.85  form he may appear to you and wherever you think you see him, he  will disappear into the nothingness out of which he was made.
Tx:9.87  be divided. If you perceive other gods, your mind is split, and you  will not be able to limit the split because the split is the sign
Tx:9.87  is the sign that you have removed part of your mind from God's  Will, and this means it is out of control. To be out of control is to
Tx:9.88 God's laws  will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and His
Tx:9.88 God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His  Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of
Tx:9.89  but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His  Will will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His Will,
Tx:9.89  but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His Will  will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His Will, and
Tx:9.89  His Will will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His  Will, and the manner of your creation established you as creators.
Tx:9.89  could hardly want it if you were willing to see it as it is. You  will see nothing at all. And your vision will automatically look
Tx:9.89  to see it as it is. You will see nothing at all. And your vision  will automatically look beyond it to what is in you and all around
Tx:9.92  never be completely forgotten. If you but see the little spark, you  will learn of the greater light, for the rays are there unseen.
Tx:9.92  greater light, for the rays are there unseen. Perceiving the spark  will heal, but knowing the light will create. Yet in the returning,
Tx:9.92  there unseen. Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the light  will create. Yet in the returning, the little light must be
Tx:9.92  call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself  will answer you.
Tx:9.94 Do not forget, however, that to deny God  will inevitably result in projection, and you will believe that
Tx:9.94  that to deny God will inevitably result in projection, and you  will believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you.
Tx:9.94  believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you. You  will receive the message you give, because it is the message you
Tx:9.96 Sickness and death entered the Mind of God's Son against His  Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he was fatherless, and
Tx:9.98  you have been much mistaken. Yet this can be corrected, and God  will help you, knowing that you could not sin against Him. You
Tx:9.99  for His Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and you  will learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in
Tx:9.99  His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your brothers, and God  will come rushing into your heart in gratitude for your gift to Him.
Tx:9.100  is the acknowledgment of Him. When you acknowledge Him, you  will know that He has never ceased to acknowledge you and that in
Tx:9.101 If you  will accept yourself as God created you, you will be incapable of
Tx:9.101 If you will accept yourself as God created you, you  will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this, you must acknowledge
Tx:9.101  you must acknowledge Him as your Creator. This is not because you  will be punished otherwise. It is merely because your acknowledgment
Tx:9.102  you were insane. Would you have Him share your insanity? God  will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to
Tx:9.102  your insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son  will never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's
Tx:9.103 Out of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom  will be restored to His Son. His Son removed himself from His gift
Tx:9.106 Only if you accept the Fatherhood of God  will you have anything, because His fatherhood gave you
Tx:9.106  you to be desirable, the concept of choice, which is not of God,  will remain with you. While this is not true in eternity, it is
Tx:9.107  cannot both be real, because they contradict each other. If you  will accept only what is timeless as real, you will begin to
Tx:9.107  each other. If you will accept only what is timeless as real, you  will begin to understand eternity and make it yours.
Tx:10.1 Either God or the ego is insane. If you  will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you will realize that
Tx:10.1  insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you  will realize that this must be true. Neither God nor the ego proposes
Tx:10.1  is always an answer to the question, “Who is my father?” And you  will be faithful to the father you choose.
Tx:10.2  ego, which you made, is your father, or its whole thought system  will not stand.
Tx:10.3  terror on which it rests and bring it out into the light. There you  will see that it rests on meaninglessness and that everything of
Tx:10.4  have at last looked at the ego's foundation without shrinking, you  will also have looked upon ours. I come to you from our Father to
Tx:10.4  it in order to keep a dark cornerstone hidden, for its protection  will not save you. I give you the lamp and I will go with you.
Tx:10.4  for its protection will not save you. I give you the lamp and I  will go with you. You will not take this journey alone. I will lead
Tx:10.4  not save you. I give you the lamp and I will go with you. You  will not take this journey alone. I will lead you to your true
Tx:10.4  and I will go with you. You will not take this journey alone. I  will lead you to your true Father, Who hath need of you as I have.
Tx:10.4  I will lead you to your true Father, Who hath need of you as I have.  Will you not answer the call of love with joy?
Tx:10.5  in this lies the beginning of knowledge, the foundation on which God  will help you build again the thought system which you share with
Tx:10.5  which you share with Him. Not one stone you place upon it but  will be blessed by Him, for you will be restoring the holy dwelling
Tx:10.5  Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed by Him, for you  will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills
Tx:10.5  in the Mind of God with your brother, for God Himself did not  will to be alone.
Tx:10.7 If you were not part of God, His  Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of His Mind
Tx:10.9  God is not incomplete, and He is not childless. Because He did not  will to be alone, He created a Son like Himself. Do not deny Him His
Tx:10.9  the ability to see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you  will learn what God has kept for you.
Tx:10.10  Could you be alone there if it was given you because God did not  will to be alone? God's Mind cannot be lessened. It can only be
Tx:10.10  and what it creates is not limited. To give without limit is God's  Will for you because only this can bring you the joy which is His and
Tx:10.11  fatherhood and your Father are one. God willed to create, and your  will is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your
Tx:10.11  willed to create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that you  will to create since your will follows from His. And being an
Tx:10.11  will is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your  will follows from His. And being an extension of His Will, yours must
Tx:10.11  since your will follows from His. And being an extension of His  Will, yours must be the same.
Tx:10.12 Yet what you  will you do not know. This is not strange when you realize that to
Tx:10.12  not strange when you realize that to deny is to “not know.” God's  Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you denied your own
Tx:10.12  Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you denied your own  will and therefore do not know what it is. The reason you must ask
Tx:10.12  do not know what it is. The reason you must ask what God's  Will is in everything is merely because it is yours. You do not
Tx:10.12  Holy Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's  Will is for you, and He will tell you yours. It cannot be too often
Tx:10.12  it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will is for you, and He  will tell you yours. It cannot be too often repeated that you do
Tx:10.12  to be coercive, it is only because you do not recognize your own  will.
Tx:10.13 The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God's  Will is outside yourself and therefore not yours. In this
Tx:10.13  not yours. In this interpretation, it is possible for God's  Will and yours to conflict. God then may seem to demand of you what
Tx:10.13  thus deprive you of what you want. Would God, who wants only your  will, be capable of this? Your will is His Life, which He has given
Tx:10.13  Would God, who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your  will is His Life, which He has given to you. Even in time you cannot
Tx:10.13  What He created can sleep, but it cannot die. Immortality is His  Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot
Tx:10.13  it cannot die. Immortality is His Will for His Son and His Son's  will for himself. God's Son cannot will death for himself because
Tx:10.13  Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot  will death for himself because His Father is Life and His Son is like
Tx:10.13  because His Father is Life and His Son is like Him. Creation is your  will because it is His.
Tx:10.14 You cannot be happy unless you do what you  will truly, and you cannot change this because it is immutable. It is
Tx:10.14  cannot change this because it is immutable. It is immutable by God's  Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not have been
Tx:10.14  It is immutable by God's Will and yours, for otherwise His  Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to know God's Will
Tx:10.14  His Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to know God's  Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole
Tx:10.15  you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not  will to be alone. He shares His Will with you; He does not thrust
Tx:10.15  but never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares His  Will with you; He does not thrust it upon you. Always remember that
Tx:10.15  for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to hear the  Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to
Tx:10.15  hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your  will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's Will is
Tx:10.15  is to know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose  Will it is that it be so. God's Will is that His Son be one, and
Tx:10.15  is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's  Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. That
Tx:10.15  That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your  will is His.
Tx:10.16 If sickness is separation, the  will to heal and be healed is the first step toward recognizing
Tx:10.16  both Father and Son. To unite having and being is only to unite your  will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you will yourself to Him
Tx:10.16  only to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you  will yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him,
Tx:10.16  in your perfect understanding of Him, you know there is but one  will. Yet when you attack any part of God and His Kingdom, your
Tx:10.16  God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not perfect, and what you  will is therefore lost to you.
Tx:10.18  as love. You cannot deny part of yourself because the remainder  will seem to be unintegrated and therefore without meaning. And being
Tx:10.18  and therefore without meaning. And being without meaning to you, you  will not understand it. To deny meaning must be to fail to
Tx:10.18  himself and therefore knows not what he does. Having forgotten his  will, he does not know what he wants.
Tx:10.19  to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He  will enable you to go far beyond the healing you would undertake,
Tx:10.19  would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make whole, He  will lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What can the
Tx:10.19  your small willingness to make whole, He will lay His own complete  will and make yours whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish
Tx:10.20 The Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host because He  will not be heard. The Eternal Guest remains, but His Voice grows
Tx:10.20  Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. He  will remain, but you have allied yourself against Him. Whatever
Tx:10.20  yourself against Him. Whatever journey you choose to take, He  will go with you, waiting. You can safely trust His patience, for He
Tx:10.21 You  will never rest until you know your function and fulfill it, for
Tx:10.21  you know your function and fulfill it, for only in this can your  will and your Father's be wholly joined. To have Him is to be
Tx:10.21  Invite this knowledge back into your minds, and let nothing that  will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will teach you how
Tx:10.21  let nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you  will teach you how to do this if you but recognize the little spark
Tx:10.21  Your willingness need not be perfect, because His is. If you  will merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that
Tx:10.21  because His is. If you will merely offer Him a little place, He  will lighten it so much that you will gladly extend it. And by this
Tx:10.21  merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that you  will gladly extend it. And by this extending, you will begin to
Tx:10.21  so much that you will gladly extend it. And by this extending, you  will begin to remember creation.
Tx:10.22 Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God? You  will accept only whom you invite. You are free to determine who
Tx:10.23 When you are weary, remember you have hurt yourself. Your Comforter  will rest you, but you cannot. You do not know how, for if you
Tx:10.23  you could never suffer in any way, for that is not God's  Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no attack and His
Tx:10.24  in need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, believing his  will is not his own. The Kingdom is his, and yet he wanders
Tx:10.24  he is friendless. Would God let this be real if He did not  will to be alone Himself? And if your will is His, it cannot be true

Tx:10.25  beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you  will create beauty in His name, for your joy could no more be
Tx:10.25  joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak little world  will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with
Tx:10.25  The bleak little world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart  will be so filled with joy that it will leap into Heaven and into the
Tx:10.25  into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with joy that it  will leap into Heaven and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you
Tx:10.25  Heaven and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you what this  will be like, for your hearts are not ready. Yet I can tell you and
Tx:10.27  him to be glorious and gave him the light that shines in him. You  will never lose your way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but
Tx:10.28  are no other gods that you can place before Him, and accept His  Will for you in peace. For you cannot accept it otherwise.
Tx:10.29  find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of God, or you  will not know that you are there. For what is unlike God cannot enter
Tx:10.30  Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then you  will be worthy to dwell in the temple with Him because it is your
Tx:10.30  be worthy to dwell in the temple with Him because it is your  will not to be alone. God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless
Tx:10.30  is your will not to be alone. God blessed His Son forever. If you  will bless him in time, you will be in eternity. Time cannot
Tx:10.30  God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless him in time, you  will be in eternity. Time cannot separate you from God if you use
Tx:10.32  deny your Father is still for your protection, for the power of your  will cannot be lessened without the intervention of God against it,
Tx:10.32  of God against it, and any limitation on your power is not the  Will of God. Therefore, look only to the power that God gave to
Tx:10.33  you can only darken your own mind. As you bring him back, so  will your mind return. That is the law of God for the protection of
Tx:10.36  His Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you  will believe that the door is barred and you cannot enter. The door
Tx:10.38  the Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he  will not know the Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in
Tx:10.39  at the ego's thought system because together we have the lamp that  will dispel it, and since you realize you do not want it, you
Tx:10.39  we are merely looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego  will be our lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to
Tx:10.39  first at this to look beyond it since you have made it real. We  will undo this error quietly together and then look beyond it to
Tx:10.40  without protecting them? Be not afraid, therefore, for what you  will be looking at is the source of fear, but you have surely
Tx:10.44  being out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to  will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His
Tx:10.44  will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His  Will is one because the extension of His Will cannot be unlike
Tx:10.44  and not real willing. His Will is one because the extension of His  Will cannot be unlike itself. The real conflict you experience, then,
Tx:10.44  you experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and the  Will of God, which you share. Can this be a real conflict?
Tx:10.49  For though you may countenance a false idea of independence, you  will not accept the cost of fear if you recognize it. Yet this
Tx:10.51  is yours and happiness cannot be found apart from your joint  will. Recognize only that the ego's goal, which you have pursued
Tx:10.52  insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he  will not accept it. For only the insane would choose fear in
Tx:10.53  without meaningful relationships and thus without meaning. The ego  will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is
Tx:10.57  is, the Father must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He  will demonstrate its truth. The witnesses for God stand in His light
Tx:10.58  to be true. Every brother has the power to release you if you  will to be free. You cannot accept false witness of him unless you
Tx:10.58  hear but your own voice, and if Christ speaks through you, you  will hear Him.
Tx:10.61  teaches. I am leading you to a new kind of experience, which you  will become less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is
Tx:10.62  and it has been accomplished in you. This is as true now as it  will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, which knows no
Tx:10.62  This is as true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the  Will of God, which knows no time and no exceptions. But make no
Tx:10.62  no time and no exceptions. But make no exceptions yourself, or you  will not perceive what has been accomplished for you. For we ascend
Tx:10.63  him. That is why his slavery is as complete as his freedom, for he  will obey only the god he accepts. The god of the crucifixion
Tx:10.63  pain. The God of the resurrection demands nothing, for He does not  will to take away. He does not require obedience, for obedience
Tx:10.63  implies submission. He would only have you learn your own  will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission,
Tx:10.64  with them. Guard them in their resurrection, for otherwise you  will not awake in God, safely surrounded by what is yours forever.
Tx:10.65 You  will not find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands
Tx:10.66  upon your own head. Yet you cannot crucify God's Son, for the  Will of God cannot die. His Son has been redeemed from his own
Tx:10.67 You  will awaken to your own call, for the Call to awake is within
Tx:10.67  you are 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
Tx:10.67  Do not set limits on what you believe I can do through you, or you  will not accept what I can do for you. For it is done already,
Tx:10.67  done already, and unless you give all that you have received, you  will not know that your Redeemer liveth and that you have awakened
Tx:10.68  Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you  will have a part in the redemption as valuable as mine. For your part
Tx:10.68  of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory to His  Will is either great or small. What does not exist has no size and
Tx:10.71  like Him. Only this is the real world, and perceiving only this  will lead you to the real Heaven because it will make you capable of
Tx:10.71  perceiving only this will lead you to the real Heaven because it  will make you capable of understanding it.
Tx:10.72  awareness, you have not met its conditions, and until you do you  will not know that it is yours already. You have made many ideas
Tx:10.73  that you can know yourself. You can know God because it is His  Will to be known. The real world is all that the Holy Spirit has
Tx:10.74  But do you believe it? When you have perceived the real world, you  will recognize that you did not believe it. Yet the swiftness with
Tx:10.74  it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real perception  will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an instant to
Tx:10.74  new and only real perception will be translated into knowledge  will leave you only an instant to realize that this judgment is true.
Tx:10.75 And then everything you made  will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the false and the true. For
Tx:10.75  the true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real world  will vanish from your sight. The end of the world is not its
Tx:10.75  you. Yet the Holy Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you  will let Him interpret it for you, He will restore what you have
Tx:10.75  for you, and if you will let Him interpret it for you, He  will restore what you have thrown away. As long as you think you
Tx:10.75  have thrown away. As long as you think you know its meaning, you  will see no need to ask it of Him.
Tx:10.77 No one can withhold truth except from himself. Yet God  will not refuse the answer He gave you. Ask, then, for what is
Tx:10.79 Decide for the answer and you  will have it, for you will see it as it is, and it is yours already.
Tx:10.79 Decide for the answer and you will have it, for you  will see it as it is, and it is yours already.
Tx:10.80  very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The Holy Spirit  will answer every specific problem as long as you believe that
Tx:10.80  you are afraid of His specificity for fear of what you think it  will demand of you. Yet only by asking will you learn that nothing
Tx:10.80  fear of what you think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking  will you learn that nothing that is of God demands anything of you.
Tx:10.81  taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. The Holy Spirit  will give you only what is yours and will take nothing in return.
Tx:10.81  it as sharing. The Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours and  will take nothing in return. For what is yours is everything, and
Tx:10.82  not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of God  will enslave His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is
Tx:10.83 Blessed are you who  will ask the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn
Tx:10.83  anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's Son and His Father  will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and His
Tx:10.84  as his reality, for by denying that his mind is split, you  will heal yours. Accept him as his Father accepts him and heal him
Tx:10.85  As you become willing to accept this Help by asking for it, you  will give it because you want it. Nothing will be beyond your
Tx:10.85  by asking for it, you will give it because you want it. Nothing  will be beyond your healing power because nothing will be denied your
Tx:10.85  want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing power because nothing  will be denied your simple request. What problems will not disappear
Tx:10.85  because nothing will be denied your simple request. What problems  will not disappear in the presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to
Tx:10.85  brother because this is what you will perceive in him, and you  will see your beauty reflected in him.
Tx:10.86  variable perception of himself, for his split mind is yours, and you  will not accept your healing without his. For you share the real
Tx:10.86  one with his Father. Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you  will learn of the Father's love for you.
Tx:10.89  are of the Teacher of Reality, and hearing His answer, you too  will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. For fear lies
Tx:10.89  to perceive truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they  will ask for truth again when they are frightened. It is not the
Tx:10.89  dragons. Ask of their reality from the One who knows it, and He  will tell you what they are. For you do not understand them, and
Tx:10.90  Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who  will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you is impossible.
Tx:10.90  you is impossible. When you perceive yourself without deceit, you  will accept the real world in place of the false one you have made.
Tx:10.90  world in place of the false one you have made. And then your Father  will lean down to you and take the last step for you by raising you
Tx:11.1  is really trying to attack you or desert you or enslave you, you  will respond as if he had actually done so, because you have made
Tx:11.4  If you maintain that an appeal for help is something else, you  will react to something else, and your response will be
Tx:11.4  else, you will react to something else, and your response  will be inappropriate to reality as it is but not to your
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
Tx:11.7  help yourselves. But hear his call for the help of God, and you  will recognize your own need for the Father.
Tx:11.8  you perceive but one need in yourself, you will be healed. For you  will recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it
Tx:11.8  God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it  will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of Christ
Tx:11.9  of the reactions of others more and more consistently, you  will gain an increasing awareness that His criteria are equally
Tx:11.9  how well the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the motives of others  will serve you then.
Tx:11.10  what recognizing it really means. If you do not protect it, He  will reinterpret it. That is the ultimate value to you in learning
Tx:11.13  replace fear with love and translate error into truth. And thus  will you learn of Him how to replace your dream of separation with
Tx:11.16  offer himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You  will be made whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness
Tx:11.17  it, their fears vanish, but if they hide their nightmares, they  will keep them. It is easy to help an uncertain child, for he
Tx:11.18  covers and look at what you are afraid of. Only the anticipation  will frighten you, for the reality of nothingness cannot be
Tx:11.18  be frightening. Let us not delay this, for your dream of hatred  will not leave you without help, and help is here. Learn to be quiet
Tx:11.19  was given you by God, and you must accomplish it because it is His  Will. Awake and remember your purpose, for it is your will to do
Tx:11.19  it is His Will. Awake and remember your purpose, for it is your  will to do so. What has been accomplished for you must be yours. Do
Tx:11.20  you will see me, for I am not hidden because you are hiding. I  will awaken you as surely as I awakened myself, for I awoke for
Tx:11.20  not redemption. Trust in my help, for I did not walk alone, and I  will walk with you as our Father walked with me. Did you not know
Tx:11.21 There is no fear in perfect love. We  will but be making perfect to you what is already perfect in you.
Tx:11.21  in you. You do not fear the unknown, but the known. You  will not fail in your mission because I failed not in mine. Give me
Tx:11.21  trust in the name of the complete trust I have in you, and we  will easily accomplish the goal of perfection together. For
Tx:11.22  it, not by denying its full import in any way—this is what you  will really see. You cannot lay aside the obstacle to real vision
Tx:11.22  looking upon it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you  will look, the Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot
Tx:11.22  aside means to judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit  will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you keep
Tx:11.22  judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit will judge and  will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you keep hidden, for
Tx:11.23  for otherwise His knowledge remains useless to you. Surely He  will not fail to help you, since help is His only purpose. Do you
Tx:11.28  believe even for an instant that there is another answer. For you  will surely place yourself among the poor, who do not understand that
Tx:11.33  He would not have it so, and so it is not so. You still could not  will against Him, and that is why you have no control over the world
Tx:11.33  you have no control over the world you made. It is not a world of  will because it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, and this
Tx:11.33  is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, and this desire is not  will. The world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by
Tx:11.34  it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing where it is  will you gain control over it. For you do have control over your
Tx:11.34  over your mind since the mind is the mechanism of decision. If you  will recognize that all attack which you perceive is in your own
Tx:11.34  which you perceive is in your own mind and nowhere else, you  will at last have placed its source, and where it began it must end.
Tx:11.35  of the world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There you  will see your vision changed, and there you will learn to see truly.
Tx:11.35  to truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you  will learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell
Tx:11.35  where God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you  will look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the
Tx:11.36  is the one promise the ego holds out to you and the one promise it  will keep. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence,
Tx:11.37  your mind that has the power to deny the ego's existence, and you  will surely do so when you realize exactly what the journey is on
Tx:11.38  that it had not taught you the response pattern you need. The ego  will therefore distort love and teach you that love calls forth the
Tx:11.38  which the ego can teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you  will search for love but will not recognize it.
Tx:11.38  teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for love but  will not recognize it.
Tx:11.39  would keep? The Holy Spirit offers you another promise, and one that  will lead to joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you will
Tx:11.39  that will lead to joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you  will find,” and under His guidance you cannot be defeated. His is
Tx:11.39  the journey to accomplishment, and the goal He sets before you He  will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves
Tx:11.39  and the goal He sets before you He will give you. For He  will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the
Tx:11.40  it is or not. If you believe it is outside yourself, the search  will be futile, for you will be seeking it where it is not. You do
Tx:11.40  believe it is outside yourself, the search will be futile, for you  will be seeking it where it is not. You do not know how to look
Tx:11.40  your home is there. Yet the Holy Spirit knows it for you, and He  will guide you to your home because that is His mission. As He
Tx:11.40  home because that is His mission. As He fulfills His mission, He  will teach you yours, for your mission is the same as His. By
Tx:11.41  might learn you have eternal life. For death is not your Father's  Will nor yours, and whatever is true is the Will of the Father. You
Tx:11.41  is not your Father's Will nor yours, and whatever is true is the  Will of the Father. You pay no price for life, for that was given
Tx:11.41  for death, and a very heavy one. If death is your treasure, you  will sell everything else to purchase it. And you will believe that
Tx:11.41  your treasure, you will sell everything else to purchase it. And you  will believe that you have purchased it because you have sold
Tx:11.42  invest in it, not with money but with your spirit. For Spirit is  will, and will is the “price” of the Kingdom. Your inheritance
Tx:11.42  it, not with money but with your spirit. For Spirit is will, and  will is the “price” of the Kingdom. Your inheritance awaits only
Tx:11.42  eternal, but you must relinquish your investment in death, or you  will not see life though it is all around you.
Tx:11.44  effect. Although you have attacked yourself, and very brutally, you  will demonstrate that nothing happened. Therefore, by attacking you
Tx:11.45 You  will never realize the utter uselessness of attack except by
Tx:11.45  if they perceive it, and if you are trying to attack them, you  will be unable to avoid interpreting this as reinforcement. The
Tx:11.50  overcome it, for all your learning is on its behalf. Yet your  will speaks against your learning, as your learning speaks against
Tx:11.50  speaks against your learning, as your learning speaks against your  will, and so you fight against learning and succeed, for that is
Tx:11.50  and so you fight against learning and succeed, for that is your  will. But you do not realize even yet that there is something you
Tx:11.50  But you do not realize even yet that there is something you do  will to learn, and that you can learn it because it is your will to
Tx:11.50  do will to learn, and that you can learn it because it is your  will to do so.
Tx:11.51 You who have tried to learn what you do not  will should take heart, for although the curriculum you set yourself
Tx:11.51  to attain it? Resign now as your own teachers. This resignation  will not lead to depression. It is merely the result of an honest
Tx:11.51  conditions, which you can neither provide nor understand, you  will become excellent learners and teachers. But it is not so yet
Tx:11.51  become excellent learners and teachers. But it is not so yet and  will not be so until the whole learning situation as you have set
Tx:11.52  learning potential, properly understood, is limitless because it  will lead you to God. You can teach the way to Him and learn it
Tx:11.52  accord. You need offer only undivided attention. Everything else  will be given you. For it is your will to learn aright, and
Tx:11.52  attention. Everything else will be given you. For it is your  will to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son.
Tx:11.52  For it is your will to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the  Will of God's Son. His learning is as unlimited as he is.
Tx:11.53  sell your awareness of it. You cannot perceive your Soul, but you  will not know it while you perceive anything else as more
Tx:11.54  aware of how to teach you what you are. Because He loves you, He  will gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to share it.
Tx:11.55  of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it  will ever have. Its value is not in itself, but yours is in you.
Tx:11.56  forgetting to the remembering of God. Christ's eyes are open, and He  will look upon whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as
Tx:11.57  Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He  will show you the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him
Tx:11.57  Son begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he  will learn to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the
Tx:11.58 When you have seen this real world, as you  will surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must learn the cost
Tx:11.58  must learn the cost of sleeping and refuse to pay it. Only then  will you decide to awaken. And then the real world will spring to
Tx:11.58  pay it. Only then will you decide to awaken. And then the real world  will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept. He is waiting
Tx:11.58  the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy Spirit  will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as his Self.
Tx:11.61  is demonstrated as you use it in more and more situations. You  will recognize that you have learned there is no order of difficulty
Tx:11.61  miracles do not apply, and by applying them to all situations, you  will gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you will be

Tx:11.63  but you can see the results of His Presence, and through them you  will learn that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly
Tx:11.63  to do is clearly beyond all of them. Perceiving His results, you  will understand where He must be and finally know what He is.
Tx:11.64  Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you  will not realize He is there. Miracles are His witnesses and speak
Tx:11.65 As long as you believe you have two functions, so long  will you need correction. For this belief is the destruction of
Tx:11.65  would you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you  will believe in what you manifest, and as you look out, so will you
Tx:11.65  For you will believe in what you manifest, and as you look out, so  will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind,
Tx:11.65  ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your perception  will reflect the guidance you chose.
Tx:11.66 I am the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, and when you see me, it  will be because you have invited Him. For He will send you His
Tx:11.66  you have invited Him. For He will send you His witnesses if you  will but look upon them. Remember always that you see what you seek,
Tx:11.66  seeking and finding are the same, and if you seek for two goals you  will find them, but you will recognize neither. For you will think
Tx:11.66  the same, and if you seek for two goals you will find them, but you  will recognize neither. For you will think they are the same
Tx:11.66  goals you will find them, but you will recognize neither. For you  will think they are the same because you want them both. The mind
Tx:11.66  integration, and if it is split and wants to keep the split, it  will believe it has one goal by making it one.
Tx:11.67  is why you find what you seek. What you want in yourself, you  will make manifest by projection, and you will accept it from the
Tx:11.67  want in yourself, you will make manifest by projection, and you  will accept it from the world because you put it there by wanting
Tx:11.69 When you want only love you  will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you
Tx:11.69  by its messengers. If you make love manifest, its messengers  will come to you because you invited them.
Tx:11.72 When you have accepted your mission to project peace, you  will find it, for by making it manifest, you will see it. Its
Tx:11.72  peace, you will find it, for by making it manifest, you  will see it. Its holy witnesses will surround you because you
Tx:11.72  for by making it manifest, you will see it. Its holy witnesses  will surround you because you called upon them and they will come
Tx:11.72  witnesses will surround you because you called upon them and they  will come to you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but
Tx:11.72  come to you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but you  will not look upon me nor hear the answer which you sought. That is
Tx:11.72  do not yet want only that. Yet as I become more real to you, you  will learn that you do want only that. And you will see me as you
Tx:11.72  real to you, you will learn that you do want only that. And you  will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as
Tx:11.72  do want only that. And you will see me as you look within, and we  will look upon the world as God created it together. Through the eyes
Tx:11.72  only the real world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so  will you see. And all that you see but witnesses to your decision.
Tx:11.73 When you look within and see me, it  will be because you have decided to manifest truth. And as you
Tx:11.73  you have decided to manifest truth. And as you manifest it, you  will see it both without and within, for you will see it without
Tx:11.73  you manifest it, you will see it both without and within, for you  will see it without because you saw it first within. Everything you

Tx:12.9  this is not so. Your “guilty secret” is nothing, and if you  will but bring it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no

Tx:12.9  will remain between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you  will remember His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is
Tx:12.9  His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is immortal. And you  will see that you were redeemed with him and have never been

Tx:12.18  they long for the grandeur that is in them. And perceiving it you  will welcome it, and it will be yours. For grandeur is the right
Tx:12.18  that is in them. And perceiving it you will welcome it, and it  will be yours. For grandeur is the right of God's Son, and no

Tx:12.19  place in your mind where the Holy Spirit is not welcome. And you  will exempt yourself from His healing power, for by not offering
Tx:12.19  from His healing power, for by not offering total love, you  will not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete as fear,
Tx:12.22  in your insanity. [And this He did. No one who hears His answer but  will give up insanity.] For His answer is the reference point

Tx:12.26  that the past is the only aspect of time that is meaningful. You  will remember that we said its emphasis on guilt enables it to ensure

Tx:12.27  will surely prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you  will receive messages from them out of your own past because, by

Tx:12.40 You  will see all that you denied in your brothers because you denied it
Tx:12.40  denied in your brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you  will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to
Tx:12.40  yourself. For you will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you  will draw them to yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to your
Tx:12.40  you share with God. I am with them as I am with you, and we  will draw them from their private worlds, for as we are united, so
Tx:12.41  you see you made. But let the darkness go, and all you made you  will no longer see, for sight of it depends upon denying vision.
Tx:12.42  He loves what He sees within you, and He would extend it. And He  will not return unto the Father until He has extended your perception
Tx:12.43  perfect radiance, which is undimmed by your dreams. And this you  will see as you look with Him, for His vision is His gift of love to

Tx:12.44  they saw the Son, they have risen in Him to the Father. And all this  will they understand because they looked within and saw beyond the
Tx:12.45  now. If you remember the past as you look upon your brother, you  will be unable to perceive the reality that is now.
Tx:12.46  at all to the past, either his or yours as you perceived it, you  will be able to learn from what you see now. For the past can cast
Tx:12.49  obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the present, and you  will find it if you seek it there. You have looked for it where it is
Tx:12.49  have not found it. Learn, then, to seek it where it is, and it  will dawn on eyes that see. Your past was made in anger, and if you
Tx:12.49  past was made in anger, and if you use it to attack the present, you  will not see the freedom that the present holds. Judgment and

Tx:12.53 Shine on your brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you  will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His creation.

Tx:12.55  other world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here  will everything remind you of your Father and His Holy Son. Light is
Tx:12.55  across this world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you  will shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because
Tx:12.55  quiet joy. All those you brought with you will shine on you, and you  will shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. Your

Tx:12.55  Your light will join with theirs in power so compelling that it  will draw the others out of darkness as you look on them.
Tx:12.56 Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free  will and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The
Tx:12.60  you have denied the other. Both are not true, yet either one  will seem as real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear. And
Tx:12.64  other world about him. Yet while he still lays value on his own, he  will deny the vision of the other world, maintaining that he loves
Tx:12.64  love points out. Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you  will rejoice that you have found His company and learned of Him the
Tx:12.64  over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your  will. And Christ will always offer you the Will of God in
Tx:12.64  your errors for the peace of God is but your will. And Christ  will always offer you the Will of God in recognition that you share
Tx:12.64  of God is but your will. And Christ will always offer you the  Will of God in recognition that you share it with Him.
Tx:12.65 It is God's  Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing else
Tx:12.66  wholly yours. For all else you have lent yourself in time, and it  will fade. But this one thing is always yours, being the gift of
Tx:12.67 You  will first dream of peace and then awaken to it. Your first exchange
Tx:12.68  between the two worlds, He knows what you have need of and what  will not hurt you. Ownership is a dangerous concept if it is left to
Tx:12.69 Everything that the ego tells you that you need  will hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and again to
Tx:12.69  and again to get, it leaves you nothing, for what you get, it  will demand of you. And even from the very hands that grasped it,
Tx:12.69  demand of you. And even from the very hands that grasped it, it  will be wrenched and hurled into the dust. For where the ego sees
Tx:12.69  advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you think you need  will merely serve to tighten up your world against the light and
Tx:12.70 Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need. For He  will give you all things that do not block the way to light. And what
Tx:12.70  you need? In time He gives you all the things that you need have and  will renew them as long as you have need of them. He will take
Tx:12.70  need have and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He  will take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. And
Tx:12.70  of it. And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary and  will but last until you step aside from all your needs and learn
Tx:12.70  in the things that He supplies except to make certain that you  will not use them on behalf of lingering in time. He knows that you
Tx:12.71 Leave, then, your needs to Him. He  will supply them with no emphasis at all upon them. What comes to you
Tx:12.71  at all upon them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He  will ensure it never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and
Tx:12.71  hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. Under His guidance, you  will travel light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the
Tx:12.74 Then follow Him in joy, with faith that He  will lead you safely through all dangers to your peace of mind that
Tx:12.74  you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and seek not what you  will surely lose. Content yourselves with what you will as surely
Tx:12.74  seek not what you will surely lose. Content yourselves with what you  will as surely keep and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet
Tx:12.75  God. Hold me dear, for what except your brothers can you need? We  will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find together.
Tx:12.75  you the peace of mind that we must find together. The Holy Spirit  will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the only
Tx:12.75  glad exchange for all the world has offered but to take away. And we  will spread it like a veil of light across the world's sad face, in
Tx:12.76  Father's gift to me, given me through His Spirit. The sound of it  will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's most holy Son, where it
Tx:13.2  Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy,  will last forever.
Tx:13.3  is needful here. Aspects of reality can still be seen, and they  will replace aspects of unreality. Aspects of reality can be seen
Tx:13.6  are all the same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. And He  will offer them unto His Father as they were offered unto Him. There
Tx:13.8 When you have seen your brothers as yourself, you  will be released to knowledge, having learned to free yourself of
Tx:13.8  of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of God's Son  will move in us, and we will leave no one untouched and no one left
Tx:13.8  we grow in strength, the power of God's Son will move in us, and we  will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. And suddenly time
Tx:13.8  will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. And suddenly time  will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of God the
Tx:13.8  and no one left alone. And suddenly time will be over, and we  will all unite in the eternity of God the Father. The holy light you
Tx:13.8  saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your brothers  will be returned to you. And knowing that the light is in you,
Tx:13.8  to you. And knowing that the light is in you, your creations  will be there with you, as you are in your Father.
Tx:13.10  to what you do not know, and as they reach the gates of Heaven, God  will open them. For never would He leave His own beloved Son outside
Tx:13.11  so brightly that the chain of darkness in which you bound yourselves  will disappear.
Tx:13.12  harsh commandments, you bring its condemnation of yourself, and you  will not escape the punishment it offers those who obey it. The ego
Tx:13.13  in it and placed your faith in. Be faithful unto darkness and you  will not see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it.
Tx:13.13  Be faithful unto darkness and you will not see, because your faith  will be rewarded as you gave it. You will accept your treasure, and
Tx:13.13  not see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it. You  will accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past,
Tx:13.13  you hold as dear, you think is yours. The power of your valuing  will make it so.
Tx:13.16 See no one, then, as guilty, and you  will affirm the truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every
Tx:13.16  you see as guilty become the witnesses to guilt in you, and you  will see it there, for it is there until it is undone. Guilt is
Tx:13.17  makes you blind, for while you see one spot of guilt within you, you  will not see the light. And by projecting it, the world seems
Tx:13.21  who would unite in any way with anyone for his own salvation  will find it in that strange relationship. It is not shared, and so
Tx:13.22  share it with him or perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor  will you find satisfaction and peace with him, because your union
Tx:13.22  and peace with him, because your union with him is not real. You  will see guilt in that relationship because you put it there. It is
Tx:13.22  it, because they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they  will not look within and let it go. They cannot know they love and
Tx:13.24  past, but with each one each day be born again. A minute, even less,  will be enough to free you from the past and give your mind in peace
Tx:13.24  to you as you would have yourself be welcome to your Father, you  will see no guilt in you. For you will have accepted the Atonement,
Tx:13.24  be welcome to your Father, you will see no guilt in you. For you  will have accepted the Atonement, which shone within you all the
Tx:13.25  guilt is justified in any way in anyone whatever he may do, you  will not look within, where you would always find Atonement. The
Tx:13.25  within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt  will never come as long as you believe there is a reason for it.
Tx:13.27 Now it is given you to heal and teach, to make what  will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God believes that
Tx:13.27  without. When he has looked within and seen the radiance there, he  will remember how much his Father loves him. And it will seem
Tx:13.27  there, he will remember how much his Father loves him. And it  will seem incredible that he has ever thought his Father loved him
Tx:13.27  is insane, wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you  will not fear to look upon the Atonement and accept it wholly.
Tx:13.28  your vision, and look past darkness to the holy place where you  will see the light. The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who
Tx:13.28  Nothing can keep from you what Christ would have you see. His  Will is like His Father's, and He offers mercy to every Child of God,
Tx:13.30  no love apart from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you  will have no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a brother
Tx:13.32  look upon yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you see  will banish guilt forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of
Tx:13.33  My trust in you is without limit and without the fear that you  will hear me not. I thank the Father for your loveliness and for the
Tx:13.33  thank the Father for your loveliness and for the many gifts that you  will let me offer to the Kingdom in honor of its wholeness, which is
Tx:13.34  of the Kingdom, guilt melts away and, transformed into kindness,  will never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience
Tx:13.34  will never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience  will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your
Tx:13.34  your Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He  will never cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand
Tx:13.34  United in this praise, we stand before the gates of Heaven where we  will surely enter in our blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then,
Tx:13.36  a war that could endanger freedom. Nothing destructive ever was or  will be. The war, the guilt, the past are gone as one into the
Tx:13.37 When we are all united in Heaven, you  will value nothing that you value here. For nothing that you value
Tx:13.38  The Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you  will finally let Him judge the difference for you, allowing Him to
Tx:13.38  He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows that He  will make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His
Tx:13.38  make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission  will be fulfilled. How is this possible, when His mission is of God?
Tx:13.39  to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's  Will is done. You will find the peace in which He has established
Tx:13.40 You  will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have need of
Tx:13.40  what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you  will find the answer that makes the need for any differences
Tx:13.40  the need for any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own  will unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to truth,
Tx:13.40  unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to truth, it  will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you
Tx:13.40  will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you  will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you want,
Tx:13.40  this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit  will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of God
Tx:13.40  Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The  Will of God can fail in nothing.
Tx:13.41 Have faith in only this one thing, and it  will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can keep
Tx:13.41  weird imaginings, your blackest nightmares all mean nothing. They  will not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit
Tx:13.41  not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit  will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the Will of God.
Tx:13.41  Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the  Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You will not
Tx:13.41  the Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You  will not keep what God would have removed, because it breaks
Tx:13.42  reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace  will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose
Tx:13.42  will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose  Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you
Tx:13.42  from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit  will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to learn that
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and  will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and will always  will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His Will.
Tx:13.43  always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His  Will. There is no chance that Heaven will not be yours, for God is
Tx:13.43  Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven  will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as
Tx:13.43  yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You  will learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It will
Tx:13.43  He wills is as sure as He is. You will learn salvation, because you  will learn how to save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself
Tx:13.43  You will learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It  will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit
Tx:13.44  glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in him. His sleep  will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption will
Tx:13.44  sleep will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption  will be fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged
Tx:13.44  mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the creation  will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have to know
Tx:13.44  have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet the  Will of God must be accepted as your will to know it.
Tx:13.44  it so. It is so. Yet the Will of God must be accepted as your  will to know it.

Tx:13.49  truth 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
Tx:13.49  and without direction. You will perceive the need for this if you  will realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of
Tx:13.51  and not the truth, that he has chosen to defend and love. They  will not be taken from him. But they can be given up by him, for

Tx:13.52  neither to see nor do. These are but indirect expressions of the  will to live, which has been blocked by the capricious and unholy
Tx:13.52  shared. And while you think it possible to learn to do this, you  will not believe all that is possible to learn to do.
Tx:13.53  you chose to deceive yourselves. Those who choose to be deceived  will merely attack direct approaches, which would seem but to
Tx:13.54  what you can never do, believing that unless you learn it, you  will not be happy. You do not realize that the foundation on which
Tx:13.55 Have faith in nothing, and you  will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you will add another
Tx:13.55  nothing, and you will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you  will add another burden to your mind, already burdened or you would
Tx:13.55  mind, already burdened or you would not have sought another. You  will believe that nothing is of value and will value it. A little
Tx:13.56  teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you  will ever learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity is very
Tx:13.58  faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer your faith to Me, and I  will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You will
Tx:13.58  and I will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You  will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you
Tx:13.58  will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you  will love it because you will understand it.

Tx:13.59  is not what you have made, they see in you more than you see. They  will be happy learners of the lesson which this light brings to them
Tx:13.59  have disappeared, and so they must have been nothing. And you  will see it with them. Because you taught them gladness and
Tx:13.59  it with them. Because you taught them gladness and release, they  will become your teachers in release and gladness.
Tx:13.60  what seemed hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You  will never learn how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this
Tx:13.61  there is true and built on truth. The universe of learning  will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth
Tx:13.61  you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you  will not look back.
Tx:13.63  and learn of them how to be free of darkness. The light in you  will waken them, and they will not leave you asleep. The vision of
Tx:13.63  to be free of darkness. The light in you will waken them, and they  will not leave you asleep. The vision of Christ is given the very
Tx:13.63  all holy. The quietness of its simplicity is so compelling that you  will realize it is impossible to deny the simple truth. For there
Tx:13.64 Learning  will be commensurate with motivation, and the interference in your
Tx:13.65  no conflict here. To wish for guilt in any way, in any form,  will lose appreciation of the value of your guiltlessness and push it
Tx:13.66  if you yield to it, you are deciding against your happiness and  will not learn how to be happy. Say therefore to yourself gently,
Tx:13.67 What I experience, I  will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have nothing to fear. I

Tx:13.69  Whether he does this or does it not will make no difference; you  will think he does. It is impossible to offer what you do not want
Tx:13.70  would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to teach it, as it  will be yours.
Tx:13.72  any mind. Remember always that mind is one and cause is one. You  will learn communication with this oneness only when you learn to
Tx:13.73  you are thinking destructively, and the decision will be wrong. It  will hurt you because of the concept of decision which led to it. It
Tx:13.73  will respond to guilt because they think it is salvation and  will not refuse to see it and side with it. [They believe that
Tx:13.73  believe that increasing guilt is self-protection.] And they  will fail to understand the simple fact that what they do not want
Tx:13.74  because they do not believe that what they want is good. Yet  will was given them because it is holy and will bring to them all
Tx:13.74  want is good. Yet will was given them because it is holy and  will bring to them all that they need, coming as naturally as peace
Tx:13.74  as peace that knows no limits. There is nothing their wills  will not provide that offers them anything of value. Yet because
Tx:13.74  them anything of value. Yet because they do not understand their  will, the Holy Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives

Tx:13.75 It  will never happen that you will have to make decisions for yourself.
Tx:13.75 It will never happen that you  will have to make decisions for yourself. You are not bereft of help,
Tx:13.75  that you alone can offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything  will simply offer it to you? He will never ask what you have done
Tx:13.75  when He Who gives you everything will simply offer it to you? He  will never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of
Tx:13.78  He knows the way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you  will not fail to learn what God wills for you is your will.
Tx:13.78  Him you will not fail to learn what God wills for you is your  will. Without His guidance, you will think you know alone and will
Tx:13.78  what God wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you  will think you know alone and will decide against your peace as
Tx:13.78  your will. Without His guidance, you will think you know alone and  will decide against your peace as surely as you made the wrong
Tx:13.78  God gave it for you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, and He  will make every decision for you, for your salvation, and the peace
Tx:13.81  Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with love for everyone who  will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone will be.
Tx:13.84 He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not. Yet He  will never keep from me what He would have me learn. And so I trust
Tx:13.86 When you accept a brother's guiltlessness, you  will see the Atonement in him. For by proclaiming it in him, you make
Tx:13.86  in him, you make it yours, and you will see what you sought. You  will not see the symbol of your brother's guiltlessness shining
Tx:13.86  His guiltlessness is your Atonement. Grant it to him, and you  will see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet truth is
Tx:13.87  this, must you attain with God beside you. For until you do, you  will still think that you are separate from Him. You can feel His
Tx:13.88  mind be undone for you and stand in grace before your Father, He  will give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving Himself is all
Tx:13.89  did He make them. When you release them, they are gone. God  will not fail nor ever has in anything.
Tx:13.90  blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love, God  will Himself exchange your gift for His.
Tx:13.91  One Who speaks for God and for your function as He knows it. So  will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon
Tx:13.92  as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you  will be led as gently as if you were being carried along a quiet path
Tx:13.92  Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. The Holy Spirit  will not delay at all in answering your every question what to do.
Tx:13.92  in answering your every question what to do. He knows. And He  will tell you and then do it for you. You who are tired might
Tx:14.1 Unless you are guiltless, you cannot know God, Whose  Will is that you know Him. Therefore, you must be guiltless. Yet if
Tx:14.6  and learns it differently. Yet until he teaches it and learns it, he  will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true function remains
Tx:14.7  of all that God created. Deny them not what is their due, for you  will not withhold it from them alone.
Tx:14.8  given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you  will ask for guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity
Tx:14.8  the Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So  will the world of separation slip away and full communication be
Tx:14.11  in peace. No one can be untouched by teaching such as this. You  will not see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this.
Tx:14.11  not see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this. You  will not be exempt from the effects of this most holy lesson, which
Tx:14.11  creation. From everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you  will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has
Tx:14.11  your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you  will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in what
Tx:14.15  or for redemption. If you bring him into the circle of purity, you  will rest there with him. If you leave him without, you join him
Tx:14.17  in which nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack  will always yield to love if it is brought to love, not hidden
Tx:14.17  not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of love  will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence. What
Tx:14.18  keep obscure is fearful. But let them go, and what was fearful  will be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only the
Tx:14.21  would release you. Leave what you would communicate to Him. He  will interpret it to you with perfect clarity, for He knows with Whom
Tx:14.22  your Interpreter perceives the meaning in your alien language. He  will not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He will
Tx:14.23  it. Therefore, keep no source of interference from His sight, for He  will not attack your sentinels. But bring them to Him, and let His
Tx:14.27  to the desirable; what you do not want to what you do. You  will realize that salvation must come to you this way if you consider
Tx:14.28  fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly apparent. One  will go because the other is seen in the same place. Light cannot
Tx:14.28  Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness and  will not let it go. Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and
Tx:14.29  small extent of believing that if He asks it, you can do it. You  will see how easily all that He asks can be accomplished.
Tx:14.30  of you together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He  will give it to you as you join your perception to His. Joining
Tx:14.31  that nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him  will show you that all meaning, including yours, comes not from
Tx:14.31  shares with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you  will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so
Tx:14.31  the world not to accept what God would have you have. Behold your  will, accepting it as His, with all His love as yours. All honor to
Tx:14.33  otherwise, great or small, however much or little valued, He  will replace with the one promise given unto Him to lay upon the
Tx:14.33  And nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but  will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to Son.
Tx:14.35  can only be brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He  will surely lead you to where God and His Son await your recognition.
Tx:14.36 There is no substitute for truth. And truth  will make this plain to you as you are brought into the place where
Tx:14.37  all of creation and with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the  Will of God for you. Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars,
Tx:14.37  together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the Father  will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God
Tx:14.37  To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your little gifts  will vanish on the altar where He has placed His Own.
Tx:14.40  Atonement is so gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its power  will rush to your assistance and support. You are not frail with God
Tx:14.41  quietly for the return of them that love it. The Presence knows they  will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God will take
Tx:14.41  they will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God  will take them gently in and cover all their sense of pain and loss
Tx:14.41  the immortal assurance of their Father's Love. There, fear of death  will be replaced with joy of living. For God is Life, and they
Tx:14.42  of all the images of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. God  will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself
Tx:14.44  The image of holiness which shines in your mind is not obscure and  will not change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is not
Tx:14.46  time and touch it, with the help of its reflection in you. And you  will turn from time to holiness as surely as the reflection of
Tx:14.50  [Therefore, it is not your function, but the Holy Spirit's.] It  will seem difficult for you to learn that you have no basis at all
Tx:14.53  ego, if the form is acceptable, the content must be. Otherwise, it  will attack the form. You who believe you understand something of the
Tx:14.57  must give it because of what you are. Long ago we said this course  will teach you what you are, restoring to you your identity. We have
Tx:14.57  By supplying your identity wherever it is not recognized, you  will recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son
Tx:14.57  recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son forever,  will bless each recognition of His Son with all the love He holds for
Tx:14.57  each recognition 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
Tx:14.62  take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He  will accept from you because you do not want it. And He will gladly
Tx:14.62  light He will accept from you because you do not want it. And He  will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson He has learned
Tx:14.63  of perfect peace means but one thing: you think you do not  will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson
Tx:14.63  form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the Holy Spirit  will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you
Tx:14.63  the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you that you  will with the Father unto His Son.
Tx:14.65  this, means. 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:14.66  do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you will speak to you. He  will take His rightful place in your awareness the instant you
Tx:14.67  has been provided for you. God's Son can make no needs His Father  will not meet if he but turn to Him ever so little. Yet He cannot
Tx:14.71 God's Son  will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God, so do we
Tx:14.71  before His lesson division disappears. Teach like Him here, and you  will remember that you have always created like your Father. The
Tx:14.71  ceased, having the holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is the  Will of God for all creation, and all creation joins in willing this.
Tx:14.72  know nothing, but who have become willing to learn everything,  will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not
Tx:14.72  will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they  will not learn. They have destroyed their motivation for learning
Tx:14.73  they want and nothing else. Whenever you think you know, peace  will depart from you because you have abandoned the Teacher of Peace.
Tx:14.73  of Peace. Whenever you fully realize that you know not, peace  will return, for you will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the
Tx:14.73  you fully realize that you know not, peace will return, for you  will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the ego on behalf of
Tx:14.73  for anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit  will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for Him.
Tx:14.74  peace, you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of peace  will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He will never
Tx:14.74  of peace will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He  will never reciprocate, for His faith in you is His understanding.
Tx:14.74  lies His holiness, which He cannot abandon, for it is not His  Will to do so. With your perfection ever in His sight, He gives the
Tx:14.74  the need for peace and who would have it. Make way for peace, and it  will come. For understanding is in you, and from it peace must come.
Tx:14.75  it is impossible to know Him. Yet see the mighty works that He  will do through you, and you must be convinced you did them through
Tx:14.75  so powerful they could not be of you. Leave room for Him, and you  will find yourself so filled with power that nothing will prevail
Tx:14.75  Him, and you will find yourself so filled with power that nothing  will prevail against your peace. And this will be the test by which
Tx:14.75  with power that nothing will prevail against your peace. And this  will be the test by which you recognize that you have understood.
Tx:15.1  learner that you learn only of Him. When this has happened, you  will no longer need a teacher or time in which to learn.
Tx:15.5  be separated, and because it cannot conceive of its own death, it  will pursue you still because guilt is eternal. Such is the ego's
Tx:15.7  who considers himself as deserving hell can believe that punishment  will end in peace.
Tx:15.10  From this holy instant wherein holiness was born again, you  will go forth in time without fear and with no sense of change with
Tx:15.11  does not exist. In this redeeming instant lies Heaven. And Heaven  will not change, for the birth into the holy present is salvation
Tx:15.13 You  will never give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of
Tx:15.13  is yours. Miracles are the instants of release you offer and  will receive. They attest to your willingness to be released and
Tx:15.16  Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you  will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you will let go
Tx:15.16  instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you  will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly
Tx:15.16  instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit  will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time,
Tx:15.17  be concerned with time and fear not the instant of holiness which  will remove all fear. For the instant of peace is eternal because
Tx:15.18  God would have you? For you are where you have forever been and  will forever be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed
Tx:15.18  do not perceive the Source of strength. In the holy instant, you  will unchain all your brothers and refuse to support either their
Tx:15.19  whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you  will know which you have chosen by their reactions. A Son of God
Tx:15.19  instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you  will be sure you have. You will be sure because the witness to
Tx:15.19  the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you will be sure you have. You  will be sure because the witness to Him will speak so clearly of
Tx:15.19  be sure you have. You will be sure because the witness to Him  will speak so clearly of Him that you will hear and understand.
Tx:15.19  because the witness to Him will speak so clearly of Him that you  will hear and understand.
Tx:15.20 You  will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have wholly released
Tx:15.20  whom you have wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you  will doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet
Tx:15.20  doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it  will, and you will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of
Tx:15.20  The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you  will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of God is
Tx:15.20  other way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant and  will learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering
Tx:15.20  much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering brilliance, which  will literally blind you to this world by its own vision, you cannot
Tx:15.21  to practice your little part in separating out the holy instant. You  will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to
Tx:15.21  to begin to experience yourself as not separate. Fear not that you  will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson will
Tx:15.21  you will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson  will support your strength. It is only your weakness that will depart
Tx:15.21  His lesson will support your strength. It is only your weakness that  will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the
Tx:15.21  of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you  will never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the
Tx:15.22  When you strive for anything in this world with the belief that it  will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding
Tx:15.22  glory are the choices open to your striving and your vigilance. You  will always choose one at the expense of the other.
Tx:15.23  choice is your evaluation of yourself. Choose littleness and you  will not have peace, for you will have judged yourself unworthy of
Tx:15.23  yourself. Choose littleness and you will not have peace, for you  will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you offer as a
Tx:15.23  content you. You are free to try as many as you wish, but all you  will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you will be content
Tx:15.23  wish, but all you will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you  will be content only in magnitude, which is your home.
Tx:15.24  and one which you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson  will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you
Tx:15.24  remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you  will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and
Tx:15.24  Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you  will not be satisfied. For your function is not little, and it is
Tx:15.26 The power of God  will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear Son. Search
Tx:15.27  with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and  will bring you awareness of what you decided for. The Holy Spirit
Tx:15.30  you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when  will you learn that only holiness can content you and give you
Tx:15.32 Decide with me, who have decided to abide with you. I  will as my Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace
Tx:15.32  decided to abide with you. I will as my Father wills, knowing His  Will is constant and at peace forever with Itself. You will be
Tx:15.32  knowing His Will is constant and at peace forever with Itself. You  will be content with nothing but His Will. Accept no less,
Tx:15.32  forever with Itself. You will be content with nothing but His  Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours.
Tx:15.32  no more can you. When you have learned to accept what you are, you  will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you
Tx:15.32  you are, you will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you  will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept
Tx:15.32  of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you  will gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to
Tx:15.33  God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation  will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your plan for
Tx:15.33  bound, proclaiming together that the Son of God is host to Him. Thus  will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus will
Tx:15.33  Thus will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus  will you remember it.
Tx:15.34  that is in him. For where you would help your brother be, there  will you think you are. Hear not his call for hell and littleness,
Tx:15.35  means only that you would rather delay the recognition that His  Will is so. The holy instant is this one and every one. The one
Tx:15.35  it is. Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, in which you  will not find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your
Tx:15.36  willingness to let all littleness go. The instant in which magnitude  will dawn upon you is but as far away as your desire for it. As
Tx:15.36  instead, by so much is it far from you. By so much as you want it  will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can find salvation in
Tx:15.36  that you have made for your salvation in exchange for God's. His  will content you, and there is nothing else that can bring you peace.
Tx:15.37  plan of salvation that is apart from Him diminishes the value of His  Will for you in your own minds. And yet it is your mind that is the
Tx:15.38  is the holy altar on which your Father has placed Himself? This you  will recognize in the holy instant in which you willingly and gladly
Tx:15.39  to accept me is the measure of the time in which the holy instant  will be yours. I call to you to make the holy instant yours at once,
Tx:15.40  Do not obscure the simplicity of this reason, for if you do, it  will be only because you prefer not to recognize it and not to let it
Tx:15.42  with equal willingness, being the acceptance of the single  will that governs all thought.
Tx:15.43  it would not be Atonement if there were no need for Atonement. You  will not be able to accept perfect communication as long as you would
Tx:15.44  all your awareness to the readiness for purity He offers you. Thus  will He make you ready to acknowledge that you are host to God and
Tx:15.49  He can translate them into holiness by removing as much fear as you  will let Him. You can place any relationship under His care and be
Tx:15.49  You can place any relationship under His care and be sure that it  will not result in pain if you offer Him your willingness to have it
Tx:15.62  He offered it to me and I accepted it. Fear not the holy instant  will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the Holy
Tx:15.62  it not. And through me the Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you  will give it. Let no need that you perceive obscure your need of
Tx:15.62  you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy instant, you  will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of God share
Tx:15.62  aspects of the Son of God share equally, and by this recognition you  will join with me in offering what is needed.
Tx:15.63 It is through us that peace  will come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in ideas minds can
Tx:15.63  If you would give yourself as your Father gives His Self, you  will learn to understand Selfhood. And therein is love's meaning
Tx:15.63  the language of communication, which you know perfectly, you  will not remember.
Tx:15.64  brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of God  will take their rightful place in you, and you will experience the
Tx:15.64  and the power of God will take their rightful place in you, and you  will experience the full communication of ideas with ideas. Through
Tx:15.64  of ideas with ideas. Through your ability to do this, you  will learn what you must be, for you will begin to understand what
Tx:15.64  your ability to do this, you will learn what you must be, for you  will begin to understand what your Creator is and what His creation
Tx:15.67  completely in the dark. As we bring it to light, your only question  will be why it was you ever wanted it. You have nothing to lose by
Tx:15.68  intentions. It counsels, therefore, that if you are host to it, it  will enable you to direct the anger that it holds outward, thus
Tx:15.69  let the Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you  will look at them, you will offer them gladly to Him. What He can

Tx:15.74  Anger takes many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who  will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt

Tx:15.75  And if you think it is, you will feel guilty about communication and  will be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice
Tx:15.75  alone? It is clearly insane to believe that by communicating you  will be abandoned. And yet you do believe it. For you think that
Tx:15.75  it. For you think that your minds must be kept private or you  will lose them, and if your bodies are together your minds remain
Tx:15.76  As long as you believe that to be with a body is companionship, you  will be compelled to attempt to keep your brother in his body, held
Tx:15.76  to keep your brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you  will see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego
Tx:15.76  see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego  will always teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that
Tx:15.77  communication is damnation that communication is salvation. And He  will do so, for the power of God in Him and you is joined in real
Tx:15.79  He perceives as clearly as He knows forgiveness is release, He  will teach you to remember that forgiveness is not loss but your
Tx:15.80  You but seek in them what you have thrown away. And through them you  will never learn the value of what you have cast aside but what you
Tx:15.80  need so great. Behold the only need that God and His Son share and  will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The will of your
Tx:15.80  Son share and will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The  will of your creations calls to you to share your will with them.
Tx:15.80  alone in this. The will of your creations calls to you to share your  will with them. Turn, then, in peace from guilt to God and them.
Tx:15.81 Relate only with what  will never leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness
Tx:15.81  Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer's love. He  will not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept
Tx:15.83  He does not understand. And because of the Source of the attempt, it  will succeed. The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for
Tx:15.84  by removing every element of disagreement, to join them into one. He  will do this because it is His function. Leave, then, what seems to
Tx:15.84  impossible to Him Who knows it must be possible because it is the  Will of God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of God teach you
Tx:15.85  it is needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you  will become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness, it
Tx:15.85  will become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness, it  will not leave you, for it is permanent. For once you have accepted
Tx:15.85  it is the only step in it He understands. Therefore, in this there  will be no delay when you are ready for it. God is ready now, but
Tx:15.86  be unlimited in order to have meaning, and deprived of meaning, it  will not satisfy you completely. Yet it remains the only means by
Tx:15.87  body for its purposes, and while you think it has a purpose, you  will choose to utilize the means by which it tries to turn its
Tx:15.87  by which it tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment. This  will never be accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the
Tx:15.87  recognized that the ego, whose goals are altogether unattainable,  will strive for them with all its might and will do so with the
Tx:15.87  altogether unattainable, will strive for them with all its might and  will do so with the strength which you have given it.
Tx:15.89  of this and long remain willing to linger here. For it is your  will to be in Heaven, where you are complete and quiet in such sure
Tx:15.91  place no value on it as a means for getting anything, then there  will be no interference in communication, and your thoughts will be
Tx:15.91  there will be no interference in communication, and your thoughts  will be as free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to
Tx:15.91  its use for separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you  will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy instant
Tx:15.92  I can accept of you is the gift I gave to you. Release me as I  will your release. The time of Christ we celebrate together, for
Tx:15.93  restored to him. What other gift can you offer me, when only this I  will to offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and offer
Tx:15.94  When you are willing to accept our relationship as real, guilt  will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you will accept
Tx:15.94  real, guilt will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you  will accept all of our brothers. The gift of union is the only gift
Tx:15.97  is treacherous only to those who think they are its host. The ego  will never let you perceive this, since this recognition would make
Tx:15.97  would make it homeless. For when this recognition dawns clearly, you  will not be deceived by any form the ego takes to protect itself
Tx:15.98 Each form  will be recognized as but a cover for the one idea that hides behind
Tx:15.99  you and does demand total sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice  will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who but seems
Tx:15.100 You  will not succeed in being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no
Tx:15.100  would leave you nothing. [Nor can you be partial host to it.] You  will have to choose between total freedom and total bondage, for
Tx:15.103  for release is total, and when you have accepted it with me, you  will give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will
Tx:15.103  you will give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness  will disappear in our relationship, which is as innocent as our
Tx:15.103  innocent as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain  will be brought to us and disappear in our presence, and without pain
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
Tx:15.105  long will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long  will you also perceive yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified
Tx:15.107  means of communication. And if you understand this lesson, you  will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing,
Tx:15.108  in celebrating peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so  will you offer me the love I offer you. What can be more joyous than
Tx:15.110 This is the weekend in which a new year  will be born from the time of Christ. I have perfect faith in you to
Tx:15.110  perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing  will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy. Say
Tx:15.110  do all that you would accomplish. Nothing will be lacking, and you  will make complete and not destroy. Say and understand this:
Tx:15.111 I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you  will be released, unless I want to use you to imprison myself. In
Tx:15.111  want to use you to imprison myself. In the name of my freedom I  will your release, because I recognize that we will be released
Tx:15.111  of my freedom I will your release, because I recognize that we  will be released together.
Tx:15.112 So  will the year begin in joy and freedom. There is much to do, and we
Tx:15.112  And let all your relationships be made holy for you. This is our  will. Amen.
Tx:16.2  know what empathizing means. Yet of this you may be sure—if you  will merely sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate through
Tx:16.2  sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate through you, you  will empathize with strength and both of you will gain in
Tx:16.2  through you, you will empathize with strength and both of you  will gain in strength, and not in weakness.
Tx:16.3  do not want anything you value to come of the relationship. You  will neither to hurt it nor to heal it in your own way. You do not
Tx:16.5 True empathy is of Him Who knows what it is. You  will learn His interpretation of it if you let Him use your capacity
Tx:16.5  let Him use your capacity for strength and not for weakness. He  will not desert you, but be sure that you desert not him.
Tx:16.5  and accept the fact that He does know. You are not sure that He  will do His part because you have never yet done yours completely.
Tx:16.5  do His part because you have never yet done yours completely. You  will not know how to respond to what you do not understand. Be
Tx:16.6  learner; He the Teacher. Do not confuse your role with His, for this  will never bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it
Tx:16.7  Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He  will teach you how to meet both without losing either.
Tx:16.8 You  will attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you will think that, by
Tx:16.8 You will attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you  will think that, by meeting the needs of one, you do not jeopardize
Tx:16.8  That is not the way, for it leads not to light and truth. No needs  will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him Whose function
Tx:16.8  is to meet them. That is His function and not yours. He  will not meet them secretly, for He would share everything you give
Tx:16.9  whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He  will fulfill it if you but ask Him to enter your relationships and
Tx:16.16 No evidence  will convince you of the truth of what you do not want. Yet your
Tx:16.16  The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard. Never again  will you be wholly willing not to listen.
Tx:16.17 This is a year of joy in which your listening  will increase, and peace will grow with its increase. The power of
Tx:16.17  is a year of joy in which your listening will increase, and peace  will grow with its increase. The power of holiness and the weakness
Tx:16.19  accept this and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy and  will give you everything that makes for happiness. You have never
Tx:16.19  given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor  will you ever do so. You have never tried to solve anything yourself
Tx:16.21  not learned how to accept the comfort of your teaching. If you  will consider what you have taught and how alien it is to what you
Tx:16.21  have taught and how alien it is to what you thought you knew, you  will be compelled to recognize that your Teacher came from beyond
Tx:16.25  you together, keeping one with you what you would exclude. And they  will take the place of what you took in to replace them. They are
Tx:16.27 This year you  will begin to learn and make learning commensurate with teaching. You
Tx:16.27  to teach. Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of teaching  will yet be yours. For the joy of teaching is in the learner, who
Tx:16.27  you learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who teaches you what He is,  will grow and help you honor Him. And you will learn His power and
Tx:16.27  teaches you 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
Tx:16.28  powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven and by the united  will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined within it. And
Tx:16.29  the attraction of those who stand on the other side and wait for you  will not draw you safely across. For you will come where you would
Tx:16.30  solely to offset the hate but not to let it go. Your salvation  will rise clearly before your open eyes as you look on this. You
Tx:16.30  look on this. You cannot limit hate. The special love relationship  will not offset it but will merely drive it underground and out of
Tx:16.30  limit hate. The special love relationship will not offset it but  will merely drive it underground and out of sight. It is essential to
Tx:16.30  that lies in this you do not realize. And until you do, the split  will remain unrecognized and therefore unhealed.
Tx:16.31  and the symbol of love is without meaning if love is everything. You  will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and will at last
Tx:16.31  everything. You will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and  will at last emerge as yourself. This is the last step in the
Tx:16.31  readiness for God. Be not unwilling now. You are too near, and you  will cross the bridge in perfect safety, translated quietly from war
Tx:16.31  translated quietly from war to peace. For the illusion of love  will never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other
Tx:16.31  satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other side,  will give you everything.
Tx:16.34  both illusions. As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long  will love be an illusion to you. And then the only choice which
Tx:16.35  that you perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet peace  will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its
Tx:16.38 Across the bridge is your completion, for you  will be wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be
Tx:16.39  must lead to knowledge, for it was built with God beside you and  will lead you straight to Him, where your completion rests wholly
Tx:16.41  all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We  will take the last foolish journey away from truth together, and
Tx:16.44  be a weapon, but if you consider how you value it and why, you  will realize what it must be. The special love relationship is the
Tx:16.50  each other, the ego sees “a union made in Heaven.” For neither one  will recognize that he has asked for hell, and so he will not
Tx:16.50  For neither one will recognize that he has asked for hell, and so he  will not interfere with the ego's illusion of Heaven, which it
Tx:16.54  expense of content. There is no meaning in the form, and there  will never be. The special relationship must be recognized for what
Tx:16.56  between truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and you  will have no difficulty in perceiving the decision as just what it
Tx:16.58  decision that ever confronted you and also the only one. You  will cross the bridge into reality simply because you will recognize
Tx:16.58  one. You will cross the bridge into reality simply because you  will recognize that God is on the other side and nothing at all is
Tx:16.59  it is. Love has no meaning except as its Creator defined it by His  Will. It is impossible to define it otherwise and understand it.
Tx:16.60  union in separation nor for freedom in bondage! As you release, so  will you be released. Forget this not, or love will be unable to find
Tx:16.60  As you release, so will you be released. Forget this not, or love  will be unable to find you and comfort you. There is a way in which
Tx:16.63  the value of the body is so diminished in your sight that you  will see no need at all to magnify it. For you will realize that the
Tx:16.63  your sight that you will see no need at all to magnify it. For you  will realize that the only value which the body has is to enable you
Tx:16.65 Fear not that you  will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality. Time is kind, and
Tx:16.65  into reality. Time is kind, and if you use it for reality, it  will keep gentle pace with you in your transition. The urgency is
Tx:16.65  only in dislodging your minds from their fixed position here. This  will not leave you homeless and without a frame of reference. The
Tx:16.65  the time it took to fix your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay  will hurt you now more than before only because you realize it is
Tx:16.66  because you invited it, it will abide with you. Your love for it  will not allow you to betray yourself, and you could not enter into a
Tx:16.68 The new perspective you  will gain from crossing over will be the understanding of where
Tx:16.68 The new perspective you will gain from crossing over  will be the understanding of where Heaven is. From here it seems to
Tx:16.68  to be outside and across the bridge. Yet as you cross to join it, it  will join with you and become one with you. And you will think in
Tx:16.68  to join it, it will join with you and become one with you. And you  will think in glad astonishment that for all this you gave up
Tx:16.68  God and you. And may the holy instant speed you on the way, as it  will surely do if you but let it come to you.
Tx:16.76  all respects between your experience of truth and illusion. Yet you  will not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the
Tx:16.76  attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the Holy Spirit  will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you bring with
Tx:16.76  prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you bring with you  will weaken the experience of Him for a while and will prevent you
Tx:16.76  you bring with you will weaken the experience of Him for a while and  will prevent you from keeping the experience in your mind. Yet the
Tx:16.76  mind. Yet the holy instant is eternal, and your illusions of time  will not prevent the timeless from being what it is nor you from
Tx:16.77 What God has given you is truly given and  will be truly received. For God's gifts have no reality apart
Tx:16.77  your receiving them. Your receiving completes His giving. You  will receive because it is His Will to give. He gave the holy
Tx:16.77  completes His giving. You will receive because it is His  Will to give. He gave the holy instant to be given you, and it is
Tx:16.77  His Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His Son  will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy
Tx:16.78  forgiving them for the illusions which you perceive in them. Thus  will you learn that you have been forgiven, for it is you who
Tx:16.79  would destroy. The power of God and all His Love, without limit,  will support you as you seek only your place in the plan of Atonement
Tx:16.80  as great or small, possible or impossible. There is nothing that  will not give place to Him and to His majesty. To join in close
Tx:16.81  into temptation, for the temptation of the Son of God is not Your  will. And let us receive only what you have given and accept but this
Tx:17.4 As long as you would have it so, so long  will the illusion of order of difficulty in miracles remain with you.
Tx:17.6  and in Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation  will be complete or will be not at all.] Be not concerned with
Tx:17.6  is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation will be complete or  will be not at all.] Be not concerned with anything except your
Tx:17.6  except your willingness to have this be accomplished. He  will accomplish it; not you. But forget not this: When you become
Tx:17.6  him, you restore to truth what was denied by both of you. And you  will see forgiveness where you have given it.
Tx:17.7 Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive  will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so
Tx:17.7  here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness. And nothing  will you value like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that you
Tx:17.7  has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight  will bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You will behold the
Tx:17.7  a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you  will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy
Tx:17.7  this sight will bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You  will behold the beauty which the Holy Spirit loves to look upon and
Tx:17.8  through time into eternity and beyond all ugliness into beauty that  will enchant you and will never cease to cause you wonderment at its
Tx:17.8  and beyond all ugliness into beauty that will enchant you and  will never cease to cause you wonderment at its perfection.
Tx:17.10 The stars  will disappear in light, and the sun which opened up the world to
Tx:17.10  disappear in light, and the sun which opened up the world to beauty  will vanish. Perception will be meaningless when it has been
Tx:17.10  the sun which opened up the world to beauty will vanish. Perception  will be meaningless when it has been perfected, for everything that
Tx:17.10  has been perfected, for everything that has been used for learning  will have no function. Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor
Tx:17.10  that has been used for learning will have no function. Nothing  will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no
Tx:17.10  no differences, no variations which made perception possible  will occur. The perception of the real world will be so short that
Tx:17.10  perception possible will occur. The perception of the real world  will be so short that you will barely have time to thank God for it.
Tx:17.10  occur. The perception of the real world will be so short that you  will barely have time to thank God for it. For God will take the last
Tx:17.10  so short that you will barely have time to thank God for it. For God  will take the last step swiftly when you have reached the real world
Tx:17.11  you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of perception  will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made
Tx:17.11  light of the real reason which He brings, as you follow Him, He  will show you that there is no reason here at all. Each spot His
Tx:17.12 All this beauty  will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with
Tx:17.12  he knows that he has always rested there in peace. Even salvation  will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation is the
Tx:17.12  salvation is the end of dreams and with the closing of the dream  will have no meaning. Who awake in Heaven could dream that there
Tx:17.13 How much do you want salvation? It  will give you the real world, trembling with readiness to be given
Tx:17.14  demonstrate he did what he did not. Because you brought them, you  will hear them. And you who kept them by your own selection do not
Tx:17.15  only that you may return evil for evil, hoping that their witness  will enable you to think guiltily of another and not harm yourself.
Tx:17.21  of beauty in your relationships and show it to you. Its loveliness  will so attract you that you will be unwilling ever to lose the sight
Tx:17.21  and show it to you. Its loveliness will so attract you that you  will be unwilling ever to lose the sight of it again. And you will
Tx:17.21  you will be unwilling ever to lose the sight of it again. And you  will let it transform the relationship so you can see it more and
Tx:17.21  transform the relationship so you can see it more and more. For you  will want it more and more and become increasingly unwilling to let
Tx:17.21  become increasingly unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you  will learn to seek for and establish conditions in which this
Tx:17.22 All this you  will do gladly if you but let Him hold the spark before you to light
Tx:17.25  to choose one is to let the other go. Which one you choose you  will endow with beauty and reality because the choice depends on
Tx:17.28  but would transform them. And by that all that is meant is that He  will restore to them the function given them by God. The function you
Tx:17.28  special relationship which you have made is a substitute for God's  Will and glorifies yours instead of His because of the delusion that
Tx:17.29  purpose the aim of occupying your minds so completely that you  will not hear the call of truth. In a sense the special
Tx:17.32  you have been more willing to let go. While this one remains, you  will not let the others go. For this one is not different. Retain
Tx:17.35  This gift is given you for your damnation, and if you take it, you  will believe that you are damned. You cannot have the frame
Tx:17.37  a picture, too, set in a frame. Yet if you accept this gift, you  will not see the frame at all because the gift can only be accepted
Tx:17.37  set in a frame of time. If you focus on the picture, you  will realize that it was only the frame that made you think it was
Tx:17.40  a picture is brought home at last. And what you see there, you  will recognize as what it is—a picture of what you thought was
Tx:17.40  thought was real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you  will see nothing.
Tx:17.42 As God ascends into His rightful place and you to yours, you  will experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be
Tx:17.42  together to the Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We  will gain everything by giving Him the power and the glory and
Tx:17.46  is so apparent that they cannot coexist. Yet now the goal  will not be changed. Set firmly in the unholy relationship, there
Tx:17.49  He asks for faith a little longer, even in bewilderment. For this  will go, and you will see the justification for your faith emerge to
Tx:17.49  a little longer, even in bewilderment. For this will go, and you  will see the justification for your faith emerge to bring you shining
Tx:17.50  to you as you perceive its purpose work in it to make it holy. You  will find many opportunities to blame each other for the “failure” of
Tx:17.50  to blame each other for the “failure” of your relationship, for it  will seem at times to have no purpose. A sense of aimlessness will
Tx:17.50  it will seem at times to have no purpose. A sense of aimlessness  will come to haunt you and to remind you of all the ways you once
Tx:17.51  far more familiar than you now believe. Is it not certain that you  will remember a goal unchanged throughout eternity? For you have
Tx:17.52  holy instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your choice  will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has blessed your holy
Tx:17.55  Here is the goal, together with you. Think you not the goal itself  will gladly arrange the means for its accomplishment? It is just this
Tx:17.56 Yet the goal is fixed, firm, and unalterable, and the means  will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you will
Tx:17.56  means will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you  will share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you begin to
Tx:17.56  and accept the gifts you have so freely given to each other, you  will also accept the effects of the holy instant and use them to
Tx:17.56  mistakes and free you from their results. And learning this, you  will have also learned how to release all the Sonship and offer it
Tx:17.57  be clear. The setting of the Holy Spirit's goal is general. Now He  will work with you to make it specific [for application is
Tx:17.58  of the goal belongs at the beginning, for it is this which  will determine the outcome. In the ego's procedure, this is reversed.
Tx:17.59  at it and try to piece together what it must have meant. And you  will be wrong. Not only is your judgment in the past, but you have
Tx:17.60  of deciding 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:17.60  you will perceive the situation as a means to make it happen. You  will therefore make every effort to overlook what interferes with the
Tx:17.61  experience peace, it is because the truth has come to you, and you  will see the outcome truly, for deception cannot prevail against you.
Tx:17.61  the outcome truly, for deception cannot prevail against you. And you  will recognize the outcome because you are at peace. Here again,
Tx:17.62  whole. The goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it  will play his part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one
Tx:17.62  will play his part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one  will fail in anything. This seems to ask for faith beyond you and
Tx:17.63  any aspect of the situation which seems to be difficult, the ego  will attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And
Tx:17.63  attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And it  will seem to be successful, except that this attempt conflicts with
Tx:17.63  conflicts with unity and must obscure the goal of truth. And peace  will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has not come because
Tx:17.65 There is no problem in any situation that faith  will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem but
Tx:17.65  will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem but  will make solution impossible. For if you shift part of the problem
Tx:17.66  with that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness brought to faith  will never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against
Tx:17.66  never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against truth  will always destroy faith. If you lack faith, ask that it be restored
Tx:17.67  must grow to meet the goal that has been set. The goal's reality  will call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith will not
Tx:17.67  that has been set. The goal's reality will call this forth, for you  will see that peace and faith will not come separately. What
Tx:17.67  reality will call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith  will not come separately. What situation can you be in without
Tx:17.68  servant of illusion and wholly faithful to its master. Use it and it  will carry you straight to illusions. Be tempted not by what it
Tx:17.69  in hand, so must its faith go everywhere with it. The goal's reality  will call forth and accomplish every miracle needed for its
Tx:17.69  Nothing too small or too enormous, too weak or too compelling, but  will be gently turned to its use and purpose. The universe will serve

Tx:19.70  mistaken in what is faithful. And the correction of your mistake  will give you grounds for faith.
Tx:19.71  and whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It  will share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure
Tx:19.71  will share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure  will be the same as pain.
Tx:19.72 Is not this inevitable? Under fear's orders, the body  will pursue guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt

Tx:19.74  other than yourself suffer. And even if you suffer, yet someone else  will suffer more. The great deceiver recognizes that this is not so,

Tx:19.107  release from sin here in the garden of seeming agony and death. So  will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of God's Son
Tx:19.108 Together we  will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost, but
Tx:19.108  And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for salvation  will be left undone. This is the journey's purpose, without which
Tx:19.109  would look upon the giver of this gift, for as you look on him, so  will the gift itself appear to be. As he is seen as either the giver
Tx:19.109  be. As he is seen as either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so  will his offering be seen and so received. The crucified give pain
Tx:19.109  of pain. Everyone gives as he receives, but he must choose what it  will be that he receives. And he will recognize his choice by what
Tx:19.109  but he must choose what it will be that he receives. And he  will recognize his choice by what he gives and what is given him. Nor
Tx:20.4  petals of the lilies you have received and given as your gift, you  will behold each other's face and recognize it. I was a stranger
Tx:20.6  and give. And every gift it offers depends on what it wants. It  will adorn its chosen home most carefully, making it ready to receive
Tx:20.6  unto its chosen home or those it would attract to it. And there they  will exchange their gifts, offering and receiving what their minds
Tx:20.8  yet the thorns are gone. Look you still closer at them now, and you  will see your altar is no longer what it was.
Tx:20.10  would pick up from time to time and then put by. For if you do, so  will it be to you.
Tx:20.11  carefully prepared for you, and it is ready to receive you now. You  will not see it with the body's eyes. Yet all you need you have.
Tx:20.12  but faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision  will be no illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the
Tx:20.13 Would you not have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence  will light your way, offering you its guiding light and sure
Tx:20.13  way. The holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So  will we find what we were meant to find by Him Who leads us.
Tx:20.15  through your vision and free to lead you now where he would be. He  will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly
Tx:20.15  will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly  will you walk the way of innocence together, singing as you behold
Tx:20.19  constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that death  will wait a little longer before it overtakes you and you disappear?
Tx:20.22  in him who wandered carelessly into the home of truth, and who  will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he will not remain
Tx:20.22  of truth, and who will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he  will not remain before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered and
Tx:20.26 Such is my  will for both of you and for each of you for one another and for
Tx:20.26  Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the certainty our union  will be soon.
Tx:20.27  lead them to the Father. And where else would they go but where they  will to be? Each of you now will lead the other to the Father as
Tx:20.27  where else would they go but where they will to be? Each of you now  will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His Son
Tx:20.31 Those who choose freedom  will experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they
Tx:20.31  will experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they  will give it only to what God has given to share with them. Nothing
Tx:20.31  them, for they see only this, sharing their power according to the  Will of God. And thus their freedom is established and maintained. It
Tx:20.33  the part that has been given you to learn. For He Who knows the rest  will see to it without your help. But think not that He does not need
Tx:20.34  all their brothers. Think you when this has been achieved that you  will rest without them? You could no more leave one of them outside
Tx:20.35  accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there  will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you
Tx:20.35  that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit  will not arrange for you without your effort.
Tx:20.36 He  will go before you making straight your path and leaving in your way
Tx:20.36  stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need  will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away
Tx:20.36  Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but  will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for
Tx:20.36  the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so  will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee will hold against all
Tx:20.36  As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee  will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not
Tx:20.38  given you the gifts you give, and through your not forgetting this  will you remember Who gave the gifts to Him to give to you.
Tx:20.39  you cannot even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you or you  will never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It will be
Tx:20.39  or you will never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It  will be given you to see your brother's worth when all you want for
Tx:20.39  when all you want for him is peace. And what you want for him, you  will receive.
Tx:20.40  his offering? His worth has been established by his Father, and you  will recognize it as you receive his Father's gift through him. What
Tx:20.40  it as you receive his Father's gift through him. What is in him  will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you will merely
Tx:20.40  is in him will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you  will merely love him and be glad. You will not think to judge him,
Tx:20.40  your grateful vision that you will merely love him and be glad. You  will not think to judge him, for who would see the face of Christ and
Tx:20.42  point in time. It never changes. All that it ever held or  will ever hold is here right now. The past takes nothing from it,
Tx:20.42  is here right now. The past takes nothing from it, and the future  will add no more. Here, then, is everything. Here is the loveliness
Tx:20.42  end in perfect harmony already. Here is the perfect faith that you  will one day offer to each other already offered you. And here the
Tx:20.42  other already offered you. And here the limitless forgiveness you  will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet will
Tx:20.42  you will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet  will look upon already seen.
Tx:20.43  do you. And yet, have faith that He Who sees the gift in both of you  will offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision will
Tx:20.43  you will offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision  will you see it, and through His understanding recognize it and love
Tx:20.50 You cannot make the body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it  will never be the seat of love. It is the home of the idolater and
Tx:20.51 Idolaters  will always be afraid of love, for nothing so severely threatens them
Tx:20.51  approach. Let love draw near them and overlook the body, as it  will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the seeming firm
Tx:20.54  in reality. The Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty it  will endure forever. Its firm foundation is eternally upheld by
Tx:20.58  joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal  will come from the same Source as does His purpose. Being so simple
Tx:20.60  frightens you, and not the means. Remember this, for otherwise you  will make the error of believing the means are difficult. Yet how can
Tx:20.65  this purpose seems to have any meaning, the means for its attainment  will be evaluated as worth the seeing, and so you will not see.
Tx:20.65  for its attainment will be evaluated as worth the seeing, and so you  will not see.
Tx:20.67 Vision  will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to
Tx:20.67 Vision will come to you at first in glimpses, but they  will be enough to show you what is given you who see your brother
Tx:20.67  closed off by valuing the “something else,” and what was never lost  will quietly return. It has been saved for you. Vision would not be
Tx:20.68  holy relationship offers all this to you. As it was given you, so  will be its effects. And as its holy purpose was not made by you, the
Tx:20.69  the Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace  will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of
Tx:20.70  each one to see the body not. And as you look upon each other, you  will see an altar to your Father, holy as Heaven, glowing with
Tx:20.70  and chosen to replace the holy home the Holy Spirit offers, where He  will dwell with you?
Tx:20.71  is no problem, no event or situation, no perplexity that vision  will not solve. All is redeemed when looked upon with vision. For
Tx:20.72  sight. The end for everything He looks upon is always sure. For it  will meet His purpose, seen in unadjusted form and suited perfectly
Tx:20.72  it everywhere, in everything. Look through its eyes, and everything  will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you will
Tx:20.72  will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you  will never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation,
Tx:20.72  never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation,  will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy purpose bereft of
Tx:21.1  so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but  will to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result,
Tx:21.2  tried to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the  Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between
Tx:21.4  lies and which way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment  will always give you false directions, but vision shows you where
Tx:21.5  Your question is whether the means by which this course is learned  will bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it would,
Tx:21.7  that they have. Listen and try to think if you remember what we  will speak of now.
Tx:21.11  not the body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing  will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son
Tx:21.12  Creator gives praise to them as well. The blindness which they made  will not withstand the memory of this song. And they will look upon
Tx:21.12  which they made will not withstand the memory of this song. And they  will look upon the vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is
Tx:21.13  yes, but not ambiguous. And if you choose against it now, it  will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this little cost
Tx:21.16  but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes  will disappear.
Tx:21.19  it saw was true. You did this to yourself. See only this, and you  will also see how circular the reasoning on which your “seeing”
Tx:21.19  be replaced with truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it  will be given you to see it in yourself.
Tx:21.20  possible that things should happen to the Son of God without his  will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be
Tx:21.20  happen to the Son of God without his will and thus without the  Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be separate from his own.
Tx:21.20  without his will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose  Will cannot be separate from his own.
Tx:21.21 This is the Son of God's replacement for his  will, a mad revolt against what must forever be. This is the
Tx:21.22  should be, you have set up your idols to something else. This other  will, which seems to tell you what must happen, you gave reality. And
Tx:21.22  asked to do is let it in; only to stop your interference with what  will happen of itself; simply to recognize again the presence of what
Tx:21.24  What you desire you will see. And if its reality is false, you  will uphold it by not realizing all the adjustments you have
Tx:21.30  is so cherished and protected as is a goal the mind accepts. This it  will follow, grimly or happily, but always with faith and with the
Tx:21.31  he believes he is in chains. And when he is released from them, it  will be simply because he no longer believes in them, withdrawing
Tx:21.32  And when you have accepted them completely instead of yours, you  will have need of them no longer. For faith and vision and belief are
Tx:21.34  the vision of a holy relationship is all you want to see. Then  will you give your faith to holiness, desiring and believing in it
Tx:21.37  nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, you  will hate Him because you are afraid. The gift that He has given you
Tx:21.41 The Holy Spirit  will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct,
Tx:21.41 The Holy Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He  will correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to
Tx:21.42  the ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes  will light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you believe,
Tx:21.42  to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, and God  will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do not look. Yet
Tx:21.50  ego says and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you  will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will
Tx:21.50  sure that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You  will experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of
Tx:21.50  of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. You  will believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own
Tx:21.50  far beyond your own control and far more powerful than you. And you  will think the world you made directs your destiny. For this will be
Tx:21.50  And you will think the world you made directs your destiny. For this  will be your faith. But never believe because it is your faith it
Tx:21.51  awaiting 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:21.52  may arise in it, but if the basic question stems from reason, it  will not ask it. Like all that stems from reason, the basic question
Tx:21.53  plan for your salvation could not have been established without your  will and your consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of God,
Tx:21.53  he must receive. For God wills not apart from him, nor does the  Will of God wait upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined
Tx:21.53  of God wait upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined the  Will of God must be in you now, being eternal. You must have set
Tx:21.53  not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the ego is proof you  will not find the answer there. Yet if it must be so, it must exist.
Tx:21.54  He has no Thoughts except the Self-extending, and in this your  will must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows
Tx:21.54  must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows His  Will and shares it. It is not meaningful to ask if what must be is
Tx:21.57 The part of mind where reason lies was dedicated by your  will in union with your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was
Tx:21.58  belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego  will never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must
Tx:21.59  correction. It does not value them, but their correction. Reason  will also tell you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if
Tx:21.59  also tell you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if you  will not accept the help you call for, you will not believe that it
Tx:21.59  call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you  will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you will not give
Tx:21.59  call for, you will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you  will not give it, thus maintaining the belief. For uncorrected
Tx:21.59  and to your brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both  will think that you are damned. This you could spare him and
Tx:21.62  takes the place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the  will of the insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their
Tx:21.62  will of the insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their  will. For they believe they see the body and let their madness tell
Tx:21.62  of this. And if you would defend the body against your reason, you  will not understand the body or yourself.
Tx:21.64  and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this, and you  will learn of him exactly what you taught. For you can teach him
Tx:21.64  unless it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth? Reason  will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your brother
Tx:21.65  steadily away from madness toward the goal of truth. And here you  will lay down the burden of denying truth. This is the burden that
Tx:21.68  as one. And as his gratitude goes out to you who blessed him, reason  will tell you that it cannot be you stand apart from blessing. The
Tx:21.71  alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of God  will strike them dead and raising up their helplessness against him.
Tx:21.73  what is not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy, but this  will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find
Tx:21.74  should he try. For if he focuses on what he cannot understand, he  will but emphasize his helplessness and let sin tell him that his
Tx:21.78  must be answered and is answered in the other three. And then it  will be clear to you that, as you look on the effects of sin in any
Tx:21.81 Why is the final question so important? Reason  will tell you why. It is the same as are the other three except in
Tx:21.84  proof that he is wrong who sees himself as helpless. Desire what you  will, and you will look on it and think it real. No thought but has
Tx:21.88 Reason  will tell you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For
Tx:21.88  desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom God Himself  will never fail to answer. God has already given him all that he
Tx:21.89 You who complete God's  Will and are His happiness, whose will is powerful as His, a power
Tx:21.89 You who complete God's Will and are His happiness, whose  will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your illusions,
Tx:21.90  future now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what  will never change. For you have asked that nothing stand between the
Tx:22.5  hate the one He loves, then you and your Creator have a different  will. Yet if you are his will, what you must then believe is that
Tx:22.5  you and your Creator have a different will. Yet if you are his  will, what you must then believe is that you are not yourself. You
Tx:22.8 What could be secret from God's  Will? Yet you believe that you have secrets. What could your
Tx:22.8  that you have secrets. What could your secrets be except another  will that is your own, apart from His? Reason would tell you that
Tx:22.9  was given you, along with everything that you can understand. You  will perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells
Tx:22.9  only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would show you, you  will understand because it is the truth. Only your vision can
Tx:22.9  interpreted to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor  will it ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot
Tx:22.10  he sees are stable yet. But what he hears and does not understand  will be his native tongue, through which he will communicate with
Tx:22.10  and does not understand will be his native tongue, through which he  will communicate with those around him, and they with him. And the
Tx:22.10  and they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he sees about him  will become to him his comforters, and he will recognize his home and
Tx:22.10  ones he sees about him will become to him his comforters, and he  will recognize his home and see them there with him.
Tx:22.11  rebirth. Yet in this infant is your vision returned to you, and he  will speak the language both of you can understand. He is not
Tx:22.12 Think what is given you, my holy brothers. This child  will teach you what you do not understand and make it plain. For his
Tx:22.12  will teach you what you do not understand and make it plain. For his  will be no alien tongue. He will need no interpreter to you, for it
Tx:22.12  understand and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue. He  will need no interpreter to you, for it was you who taught him what
Tx:22.13  could not do through bodies. What, then, has joined them? Reason  will tell you that they must have seen each other through a vision
Tx:22.15  correct in looking on each other as His chosen home, for here you  will with Him and with His Father. This is your Father's Will for
Tx:22.15  here you will with Him and with His Father. This is your Father's  Will for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn to Christ is drawn
Tx:22.17  difference as joy. Yet to perceive a difference where none exists  will surely fail to make a difference.
Tx:22.19 Reason  will tell you that the only way to escape from misery is to recognize
Tx:22.20 Both reason and the ego  will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The
Tx:22.20  tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The ego  will assure you now that it is impossible for you to see no guilt in
Tx:22.20  on this another way, for reason sees the source of an idea as what  will make it true or false. This must be so if the idea is like its
Tx:22.21  purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their use  will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this must be impossible,
Tx:22.22 Forsake not now each other. For you who are the same  will not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each other
Tx:22.22  or his judge, offering him sanctuary or condemnation. This course  will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true or
Tx:22.22  true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you  will either escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason will
Tx:22.22  you will either escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason  will tell you that there is no middle ground where you can pause
Tx:22.23  And vision cannot damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save  will save. How he will do it is beyond your understanding, but
Tx:22.23  damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save will save. How he  will do it is beyond your understanding, but when must be your
Tx:22.24  leave his Father's Mind, make himself different, and oppose His  Will, would it be possible that the self he made and all it made
Tx:22.25  you unless you still would be apart from your Creator and with a  will opposed to His. For only if you would believe His Son could be
Tx:22.27  on earth. How great the power that lies in it. Time waits upon its  will, and earth will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate
Tx:22.27  great the power that lies in it. Time waits upon its will, and earth  will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate will nor the
Tx:22.27  will, and earth will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate  will nor the desire that anything be separate. Its will has no
Tx:22.27  is no separate will nor the desire that anything be separate. Its  will has no exceptions, and what it wills is true. Every illusion
Tx:22.30  belief you cannot learn this course. Share this belief, and reason  will be unable to see your errors and make way for their correction.
Tx:22.33 Reason  will tell you that the form of error is not what makes it a mistake.
Tx:22.33  by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but form  will be perceived.
Tx:22.34 These eyes, made not to see,  will never see. For the idea they represent left not its maker, and
Tx:22.35  true. It could not be reality, because it can be changed. Reason  will tell you that, if form is not reality, it must be an illusion
Tx:22.37  newly born, must value holiness above all else. Unholy values  will produce confusion, and in awareness. In an unholy
Tx:22.37  sin. He sees within the other what impels him to sin against his  will. And thus he lays his sins upon the other and is attracted to
Tx:22.38  straight ahead, the way you went before you reached the branch, you  will go nowhere. The whole purpose of coming this far was to decide
Tx:22.38  The whole purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you  will take now. The way you came no longer matters. It can no longer
Tx:22.39  Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There  will be nothing you will not be told if you acknowledge this.
Tx:22.39  cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There will be nothing you  will not be told if you acknowledge this.
Tx:22.40  together, for it is but a veil that stands between you. Either alone  will see it as a solid block, nor realize how thin the drapery that
Tx:22.40  and peace has reached you even here before the veil. Think what  will happen after! The love of Christ will light your faces and shine
Tx:22.40  before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ  will light your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that
Tx:22.40  a darkened world that needs the light. And from this holy place He  will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will become His
Tx:22.40  this holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You  will become His messengers, returning Him unto Himself.
Tx:22.41 Think of the loveliness that you  will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful will each of you
Tx:22.41  that you will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful  will each of you look to the other! How happy you will be to be
Tx:22.41  how beautiful will each of you look to the other! How happy you  will be to be together after such a long and lonely journey where you
Tx:22.41  where you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open now for you,  will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the
Tx:22.41  open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the Christ in you but  will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which
Tx:22.41  rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which you  will bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you
Tx:22.41  the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were. How thankful  will they be to see you come among them, offering Christ's
Tx:22.42 Every mistake you make the other  will gently have corrected for you, for in his sight your loveliness
Tx:22.42  is his salvation which he would protect from harm. And each  will be the other's strong protector from everything that seems to
Tx:22.44  out your joined hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you  will learn how easily your fingers slip through its nothingness. It
Tx:22.45  that needs defense you do not want, for anything that needs defense  will weaken you.
Tx:22.48  mouse that would attack the universe. How likely is it that it  will succeed? Can it be difficult to disregard its feeble squeaks
Tx:22.48  God created? You are not joined together by this mouse but by the  Will of God. And can a mouse betray whom God has joined?
Tx:22.51  No one but yearns for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he  will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will
Tx:22.51  Yet he will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He  will believe it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other
Tx:22.51  can be found. He will believe it possible of mind or body, and he  will make the other serve his choice as means to find it.
Tx:22.54  Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but  will be used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all pain,
Tx:22.54  its form. Neither of you alone can serve at all. Only in your joint  will does healing lie. For here your healing is and here will you
Tx:22.54  joint will does healing lie. For here your healing is and here  will you accept Atonement. And in your healing is the Sonship healed
Tx:22.56  come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you  will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he brings to
Tx:22.57  you from seeing past it? And what illusion could there be you  will not recognize as a mistake—a shadow through which you walk

Tx:22.58 You  will see your value through each other's eyes, and each one is

Tx:22.58  to Him. He will bestow them where they are received and welcomed. He  will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one little smile or

Tx:22.59  cannot use, but offer Him the tiny gifts He can extend forever. He  will take each one and make of it a potent force for peace. He will
Tx:22.59  He will take each one and make of it a potent force for peace. He  will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He will
Tx:22.59  He will withhold no 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
Tx:22.60  world. And it is only arrogance that would deny the power of your  will. Think you the Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You
Tx:22.60  only arrogance that would deny the power of your will. Think you the  Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this

Tx:22.64  function of your holy relationship. For what one thinks the other  will experience with him. What can this mean except your minds are
Tx:22.64  burden on you. For when you have accepted it with gladness, you  will realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of
Tx:23.1  is therefore the belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the  Will of God. Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is
Tx:23.1  opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is feared as an opposing  will.
Tx:23.2 How strange indeed becomes this war against yourself! You  will believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and become
Tx:23.2  you use for sin can hurt you and become your enemy. And you  will fight against it and try to weaken it because of this; and you
Tx:23.2  will fight against it and try to weaken it because of this; and you  will think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you
Tx:23.2  will think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you  will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you
Tx:23.2  is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure that you  will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels
Tx:23.2  him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. And he  will see only the sinless, who can not attack.
Tx:23.5  it and perceive the light of which he is a part. Your innocence  will light the way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in
Tx:23.6  of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So  will you come to understand all that is given you. In kind
Tx:23.6  you come to understand all that is given you. In kind forgiveness  will the world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought
Tx:23.6  world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought sinful now  will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk
Tx:23.8  And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad belief the  Will of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with
Tx:23.8  and overthrown. You may identify with this belief, but never  will it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness and will
Tx:23.8  with this belief, but never will it be more than madness. And fear  will reign in madness and will seem to have replaced love there. This

Tx:23.9 Be certain that it is impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it,  will ever meet. You seem to meet and make your strange alliances

Tx:23.12  them different from each other in the belief the one which conquers  will be true. There is no conflict between them and the truth.
Tx:23.13  But truth is indivisible and far beyond their little reach. You  will remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in
Tx:23.15  one to be crowned as real, the other vanquished and despised. Here  will the Father never be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His
Tx:23.26  thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the  Will of God. From where all this begins, there is no sight of help
Tx:23.26  seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego  will enable you to find escape from what it wants. That is the
Tx:23.30  It holds there is a substitute for love. This is the “magic” that  will cure all of your pain; the missing factor in your madness that
Tx:23.31 Never is your possession made complete. And never  will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor
Tx:23.31  will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor  will God end His vengeance upon both, for in His madness He must have
Tx:23.38  in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is illusions  will bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their

Tx:23.41  some of the forms attack can take? If it is true attack in any form  will hurt you and will do so just as much as in another form which
Tx:23.41  attack can take? If it is true attack in any form will hurt you and  will do so just as much as in another form which you do recognize,

Tx:23.50  This is your part—to realize that murder in any form is not your  will. The overlooking of the battleground is now your purpose.
Tx:23.51 Be lifted up and from a higher place look down upon it. From there  will your perspective be quite different. Here in the midst of it, it
Tx:23.52  instead of murder. And God Himself and all the lights of Heaven  will gently lean to you and hold you up. For you have chosen to

Tx:24.1  is attained. It is not necessary to tell Him what to do. He  will not fail. Where He can enter, there He is already. And can it be
Tx:24.1  already. And can it be He cannot enter where He wills to be? Peace  will be yours because it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can
Tx:24.1  enter where He wills to be? Peace will be yours because it is His  Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the
Tx:24.1  because it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold back the  Will that holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon illusions
Tx:24.1  seems to drift between them has the power to defeat what is Their  will?
Tx:24.2  value that you hold. Not one can be kept hidden and obscure but it  will jeopardize your learning. No belief is neutral. Every one has
Tx:24.4 Beliefs  will never openly attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are
Tx:24.8  the goal is triumph? And what decision can be made for this that  will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his Father
Tx:24.10  in specialness. For each demands the other bow to it against his  will. And God Himself must honor it or suffer vengeance. Every twinge
Tx:24.11  against the truth. For what is specialness but an attack upon the  Will of God? You love your brother not while it is this you would
Tx:24.13  from limits? You have a function in salvation. Its pursuit  will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you
Tx:24.13  is a goal that would defeat salvation and thus run counter to the  Will of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which
Tx:24.13  to the Will of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien  will to which illusions of yourself are dearer than the truth.
Tx:24.16 You can defend your specialness, but never  will you hear the Voice for God beside it. They speak a different
Tx:24.17  specialness and all the sins he held in its defense against himself  will vanish as his mind accepts the truth about himself as it returns
Tx:24.17  returns to take their place. This is the only “cost” of truth: you  will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is
Tx:24.18  between him and the function of salvation given him for you. Nor  will you change his function, any more than you can change the truth
Tx:24.19 Think of the loveliness that you  will see within yourself when you have looked on him as on a friend.
Tx:24.20  falter now. Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of God  will melt away in love. Your brother's specialness and yours are
Tx:24.25  of all your misery and the awareness that your plan has failed and  will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through
Tx:24.27  it stands, strongly defended with all your puny might against the  Will of God. And thus it stands against yourself; your enemy, not
Tx:24.29  Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from nothing. It  will forever more be unforgiving, for that is what it is—a secret
Tx:24.29  for that is what it is—a secret vow that what God wants for you  will never be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it
Tx:24.29  a secret vow that what God wants for you will never be and that you  will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be
Tx:24.29  what God wants for you will never be and that you will oppose His  Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same while
Tx:24.30  for your forgiveness. He would have no separation, like an alien  will, rise between what He wills for you and what you will. They
Tx:24.30  like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you and what you  will. They are the same, for neither one wills specialness. How
Tx:24.30  are the same, for neither one wills specialness. How could they  will the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack
Tx:24.30  not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that death is not your  will, must say, “Thy will be done” because you think it is.
Tx:24.30  God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must say, “Thy  will be done” because you think it is.
Tx:24.31  your brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose  Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace in perfect safety
Tx:24.33 The slaves of specialness  will yet be free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would God
Tx:24.33 The slaves of specialness will yet be free. Such is the  Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and
Tx:24.33  Would God condemn Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you  will that this be done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to
Tx:24.33  this be done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to join His  Will to save you both from hell. Look on the print of nails upon
Tx:24.33  His Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They ask of you but that your  will be done. They seek your love that you may love yourself. Love
Tx:24.33  nails are on your hands as well. Forgive your Father. It was not His  Will that you be crucified.
Tx:24.37  in the sense that all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They  will not stand before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them
Tx:24.40  lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does  will create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as
Tx:24.42  beside him, showing him what can be seen and heard and where he  will see nothing and there is no sound to hear.
Tx:24.43 Yet let your specialness direct his way, and you  will follow. And both will walk in danger, each intent, in the dark
Tx:24.43  your specialness direct his way, and you will follow. And both  will walk in danger, each intent, in the dark forest of the
Tx:24.47  is His Own. He Who willed not to be without His Son could never  will that you be brotherless. And would He give a brother unto you
Tx:24.48  Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet comes. He  will exchange His certainty for all your doubts if you agree that He
Tx:24.49  the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear that what you have  will scatter with the wind and turn to dust. In him is your assurance
Tx:24.50  no reality. For what God wills is whole and part of Him because His  Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part of Him, and nothing is
Tx:24.51  And no thought within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His  Will you share His love for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as
Tx:24.52  to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all appearances, you  will not know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for
Tx:24.52  all appearances, you will not know the Father nor yourself. For you  will use the world for what is not its purpose and will not escape
Tx:24.52  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 given you
Tx:24.53  obscure the truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to  will you escape. And not one sin you see in him but keeps you
Tx:24.53  And not one sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell. Yet  will his perfect sinlessness release you both, for holiness is
Tx:24.55  you want to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon. Yet  will you choose in countless situations and through time which seems
Tx:24.56  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 not a part of him who
Tx:24.57  the other choice can offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled  will haunt you while your brother lies asleep, till what has been
Tx:24.58  and give you happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness  will disappear before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him
Tx:24.58  And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear before the  Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love [and care].
Tx:24.66  shares in its holiness and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor  will that light go out when it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it
Tx:24.69  Its scope does not exceed your own, except to say that what is yours  will come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and purpose
Tx:24.70 Look at yourself, and you  will see a body. Look at this body in a different light, and it looks
Tx:24.72  with a different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's  Will. The son of man perceives an alien will and wishes it were so.
Tx:24.72  of God retains His Father's Will. The son of man perceives an alien  will and wishes it were so. And thus does his perception serve his
Tx:24.72  choice and use perception for a different purpose. And what you see  will serve that purpose well and prove its own reality to you.
Tx:25.1  come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then  will their bodies melt away that they may frame His holiness in them.
Tx:25.4  you to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it  will you learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For
Tx:25.5  you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the body, and you  will believe that you are there. And every body that you look upon
Tx:25.5  And you must see your brother as yourself. Framed in his body, you  will see your sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set in his
Tx:25.6  world you want to live in and the state in which you think your mind  will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety
Tx:25.8  your understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's  Will. The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be
Tx:25.9  purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the  Will of God and what you really will. But this is understood by
Tx:25.9  Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really  will. But this is understood by mind perceived as one, aware that it
Tx:25.12  always does despair result. And there is no exception, nor  will there ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you
Tx:25.12  it gave you no rewards that you would want to keep. For only thus  will you be willing to relinquish it and have it gone forever.
Tx:25.14  to uphold pursuit of what has always failed on grounds that it  will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never brought before?
Tx:25.17  instead of it. Yet God has set His masterpiece within a frame that  will endure forever when yours has crumbled into dust. But think you
Tx:25.18 Accept God's frame instead of yours, and you  will see the masterpiece. Look at its loveliness, and understand the
Tx:25.19  understand your brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He  will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you will see
Tx:25.19  to you. He will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you  will see the dark no more. The darkness touched him not, nor you who
Tx:25.19  but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, and both  will gladly look within and see the holiness that must be there
Tx:25.20  yours completed. Not one ray of darkness can be seen by those who  will to make their Father's happiness complete and theirs along with
Tx:25.20  is freely offered to everyone who shares His purpose. It is not His  Will to be alone. And neither is it yours.
Tx:25.21  the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has power over you except His  Will and yours, who but extend His Will. It was for this you were
Tx:25.21  has power over you except His Will and yours, who but extend His  Will. It was for this you were created and your brother with you and
Tx:25.22 You are the same, as God Himself is one and not divided in His  Will. And you must have one purpose, since He gave the same to both
Tx:25.22  must have one purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His  Will is brought together as you join in will that you be made
Tx:25.22  the same to both of you. His Will is brought together as you join in  will that you be made complete by offering completion to your
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
Tx:25.23  to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent  will you perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in strict
Tx:25.27  The lamps of Heaven are not for it to choose to see them where it  will. If it elects to see them elsewhere from their home, as if they
Tx:25.28  And when he chooses to avail himself of what is given him, then  will he see each situation that he thought before was means to
Tx:25.28  to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his love. He  will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really
Tx:25.28  that 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
Tx:25.28  with equal ease and far more happiness bestow forgiveness. And he  will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to bring him
Tx:25.31  that he be saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to you  will make this choice your future? For you make it now, the
Tx:25.32  is their purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone seeks for what  will bring him joy as he defines it. It is not the aim as such that
Tx:25.32  aim is changed. And then the means are chosen once again, as what  will bring rejoicing is defined another way and sought for
Tx:25.33 Perception's basic law could thus be said, “You  will rejoice at what you see because you see it to rejoice.” And
Tx:25.33  you see it to rejoice.” And while you think that suffering and sin  will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see.
Tx:25.33  while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long  will they be there for you to see. Nothing is harmful or beneficent
Tx:25.34  From you can come their rest. From you can rise a world they  will rejoice to look upon and where their hearts are glad. In you
Tx:25.34  guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die  will disappear before the sun you bring.
Tx:25.35  what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you now  will seem increasingly remote and far away from you. And they go
Tx:25.35  away for recognition and are gone forever. And in the sunlight you  will stand in quiet, in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you
Tx:25.35  will stand in quiet, in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you  will the rest you found extend, so that your peace can never fall
Tx:25.36  Every leaf that falls is given life in you. Each bird that ever sang  will sing again in you. And every flower that ever bloomed has saved
Tx:25.36  its perfume and its loveliness for you. What aim can supersede the  Will of God and of His Son that Heaven be restored to him for whom it
Tx:25.40  neither have it. So must it remain useless to both. Together, it  will give to each an equal strength to save the other and save
Tx:25.41 It is no sacrifice that he be saved, for by his freedom  will you gain your own. To let his function be fulfilled is but the
Tx:25.41  Heaven or toward hell, but not alone. How beautiful his sinlessness  will be when you perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he
Tx:25.41  his sinlessness will be when you perceive it! And how great  will be your joy, when he is free to offer you the gift of sight God
Tx:25.41  along with him. And as you see him, so do you define the function he  will have for you until you see him differently and let him be what
Tx:25.42  hell. But in the love he shows himself is God made free to let His  Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of your own belief
Tx:25.42  In each of you, you see the picture of your own belief in what the  Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness will you understand
Tx:25.42  belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness  will you understand His love for you; through your attack believe He
Tx:25.45  Will you behold your brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He
Tx:25.45  your brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He does not  will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor does He will that he
Tx:25.45  He does not will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor does He  will that he remain without the function that He gave to him. Let him
Tx:25.49  and let him understand that he is safe, as he has always been and  will remain in time and in eternity alike. This is the function given
Tx:25.51  be the “sinner's” wish for death is just as strong as is God's  Will for life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be firm
Tx:25.51  and Heaven are the same? And is it possible that what He did not  will cannot be changed? What is immutable besides His Will? And what
Tx:25.51  He did not will cannot be changed? What is immutable besides His  Will? And what can share Its attributes except Itself? What wish can
Tx:25.51  share Its attributes except Itself? What wish can rise against His  Will and be immutable? If you could realize nothing is changeless
Tx:25.51  be immutable? If you could realize nothing is changeless but the  Will of God, this course would not be difficult for you. For it is
Tx:25.56  of God cannot be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not  will. Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then the form of sanity
Tx:25.56  be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not will. Yet if His  Will is seen as madness, then the form of sanity which makes it most
Tx:25.57  this One is given the choice of form most suitable to him; one which  will not attack the world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and
Tx:25.59  you this in the alternative He chose especially for you. It is God's  Will that you remember this and so emerge from deepest mourning into
Tx:25.62  but life is not maintained at any cost. No one can suffer for the  Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His Will because you
Tx:25.62  one can suffer for the Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His  Will because you share it. Not for you alone but for the Self which
Tx:25.63  For if He did, you would believe He wrested it from you against your  will. And so you would not learn it is your will to be without it.
Tx:25.63  from you against your will. And so you would not learn it is your  will to be without it. You need not give it to Him wholly willingly,
Tx:25.74  justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy Spirit ask if he  will be that one, so justice may return to love and there be
Tx:25.75  He may smile on you whose sinlessness He shares. His understanding  will be yours. And so the Holy Spirit's special function has been
Tx:25.77  of God. Let love decide and never fear that you in your unfairness  will deprive yourself of what God's justice has allotted you.
Tx:25.78  that the answer must entail. For if you answer “yes,” it means you  will forgo all values of this world in favor of the peace of Heaven.
Tx:25.78  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 truth has
Tx:25.80 Be certain any answer to a problem the Holy Spirit solves  will always be one in which no one loses. And this must be true
Tx:25.82  been solved because it has been met with justice. Until it has, it  will recur because it has not yet been solved. The principle that
Tx:25.85  that all your brothers have an equal right to miracles with you, you  will not claim your right to them because you were unjust to one with
Tx:26.1  part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you  will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming
Tx:26.6  his witness offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you  will hear no song of liberation for yourself nor see what it is given
Tx:26.8  be that you could make his sins reality and sacrifice his Father's  Will for him?
Tx:26.10  problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms, and it  will do so while the problem lasts. It serves no purpose to attempt
Tx:26.10  It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a special form. It  will recur and then recur again and yet again until it has been
Tx:26.10  again and yet again until it has been answered for all time and  will not rise again in any form. And only then are you released from
Tx:26.14  to see his innocence. Would it be fair to punish him because you  will not look at what is there to see? Each time you keep a problem
Tx:26.15  One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And you  will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer
Tx:26.15  And you will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not  will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you call forth will rest
Tx:26.15  could not will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you call forth  will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit be
Tx:26.15  of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor  will the Holy Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For
Tx:26.16 Think then how great your own release  will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your
Tx:26.16  you are willing to receive correction for all your problems. You  will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you
Tx:26.16  all your problems. You will not keep one, for pain in any form you  will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved before the
Tx:26.16  will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you  will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle
Tx:26.16  is gone. And in its place the love of God can be remembered and  will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss.

Tx:26.17  and barrier that seems to hold the door securely barred and locked  will merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father's Will
Tx:26.17  will merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father's  Will that you should offer or receive less than He gave when He
Tx:26.21  what is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he  will ever make, the last evaluation that will be possible, the final
Tx:26.21  the last comparison that he will ever make, the last evaluation that  will be possible, the final judgment upon this world. It is the
Tx:26.22  same? This difference is the learning goal this course has set. It  will not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the
Tx:26.29 Where sin once was perceived  will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, and you
Tx:26.29 Where sin once was perceived will rise a world which  will become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of
Tx:26.29  will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, and you  will join the lights of Heaven there and sing their song of gratitude
Tx:26.29  of gratitude and praise. And as they come to you to be complete, so  will you go with them. For no one hears the song of Heaven and
Tx:26.29  which withholds the wealth of Heaven from you! And how great  will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the love
Tx:26.30  There are two teachers only, who point in different ways. And you  will go along the way your chosen teacher leads. There are but two
Tx:26.30  you can take while time remains and choice is meaningful. For never  will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but choose
Tx:26.38  has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can sin withstand the  Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past and put it in the
Tx:26.39  way along a road long since a memory of time gone by? [This course  will teach you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant
Tx:26.40  He was reborn the instant that he chose to die instead of live. And  will you not forgive him now because he made an error in the past
Tx:26.43  the world that lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the  Will of God nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was
Tx:26.44  believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you and  will do so. Not because it has the power to hurt, but just because
Tx:26.46 Who dwells with shadows is alone indeed, and loneliness is not the  Will of God. Would you allow one shadow to usurp the throne that God
Tx:26.46  to whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He  will place them on your throne when you make room for Him on His.
Tx:26.50  they are reversals of the laws of truth. The laws of truth forever  will be true and cannot be reversed, yet can be seen as
Tx:26.51  yield with equal ease to what God gave as answer to them all. God's  Will is One. And any wish that seems to go against His Will has no

Tx:26.52  be opposed by its own opposite, as real as it. Then would God's  Will be split in two and all creation be subjected to the laws of two
Tx:26.55  this wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to God's  Will. Although it falls far short of giving you your full
Tx:26.56  this world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer  will creation rise within you to replace the world you see with
Tx:26.56  the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the  Will of God are one.
Tx:26.57 What is the  Will of God? He wills His Son have everything. And this He guaranteed
Tx:26.58  Can uncertainty be what you want? Or is it a mistake about your  will and what you really are? Let us consider what the error is, so
Tx:26.60  is to invite illusions to be true, without success. For never  will success be possible in trying to deceive the Son of God.
Tx:26.61  is possible, then is God's Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor  will he know himself nor recognize his will.] He has forsworn his
Tx:26.61  and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor recognize his  will.] He has forsworn his Father and himself and made them both
Tx:26.62  the same is different, you but deceive yourself. What God calls one  will be forever one, not separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it
Tx:26.62  separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it was created, and thus  will it ever be.
Tx:26.63 The miracle but calls your ancient name, which you  will recognize because the truth is in your memory. And to this name,
Tx:26.66  difference among the Sons of God. The unity that specialness denies  will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And
Tx:26.67  to everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your brother's name and God  will answer, for on Him you call. Could He refuse to answer when He
Tx:26.68  is that you see an interval between the time when you forgive and  will receive the benefits of trust. This but reflects the little you
Tx:26.70 Salvation is immediate. Unless you so perceive it, you  will be afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is great
Tx:26.70  is great between the time its purpose is made yours and its effects  will come to you. In this form is the error still obscured that is
Tx:26.72  you cannot plan. No purpose has been given it as yet, and what  will happen has as yet no cause. Who can predict effects without a
Tx:26.73  Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all effects that you  will see. They can be looked at now. Why wait till they unfold in
Tx:26.74  with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not understand it now but  will some day. And then its meaning will be clear. This is not
Tx:26.74  you do not understand it now but will some day. And then its meaning  will be clear. This is not reason, for it is unjust and clearly hints
Tx:26.77  However much you wish he be condemned, God is in him. And never  will you know He is in you as well, while you attack His chosen home
Tx:26.84  gratitude do God the Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and  will forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have
Tx:26.85  same as different. Confusion is not limited. If it occurs at all, it  will be total. And its presence, in whatever form, will hide Their
Tx:26.85  occurs at all, it will be total. And its presence, in whatever form,  will hide Their Presence. They are known with clarity or not at all.
Tx:26.85  They are known with clarity or not at all. Confused perception  will block knowledge. It is not a question of the size of the
Tx:27.1  a unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you  will fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But place no terror
Tx:27.1  in the night. But place no terror symbols on your path, or you  will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself
Tx:27.1  will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself  will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself alone. And if you are
Tx:27.2  realize that he has been condemned. And what to you has been unfair  will come to him in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you
Tx:27.2  Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you  will not escape the death you made for him. But in his innocence,
Tx:27.4  lest he forget the injuries he gave from which you swear he never  will escape. This sick and sorry picture you accept, if only it can
Tx:27.6 Show this unto your brother, who  will see that every scar is healed and every tear is wiped away in
Tx:27.6  healed and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in love. And he  will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look
Tx:27.6  love. And he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes  will look beyond it to the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is
Tx:27.7 It is not  will for life, but wish for death that is the motivation for this
Tx:27.8  esteem the worth of passing joys? What pleasures could there be that  will endure? Are not the frail entitled to believe that every stolen
Tx:27.8  is their righteous payment for their little lives? Their death  will pay the price for all of them if they enjoy their benefits or
Tx:27.9  strange belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin  will end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were
Tx:27.10  for a purpose to be given that it may fulfill the function that it  will receive.
Tx:27.11  the fetid scent of death. Let it have healing as its purpose. Then  will it send forth the message it received and by its health and
Tx:27.13  his brother and could love and trust him still? He has attacked and  will attack again. Protect him not, because your damaged body shows
Tx:27.16  that separation is without effect. What you would prove to him, you  will believe. The power of witness comes from your belief. And
Tx:27.18  calling of the Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his own,  will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear. Brother,
Tx:27.18  of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world  will ever hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when
Tx:27.20  be apart from his at all. As long as he consents to suffer, you  will be unhealed. Yet you can show him that his suffering is
Tx:27.20  purposeless and wholly without cause. Show him your healing, and he  will consent no more to suffer. For his innocence has been
Tx:27.20  innocence has been established in your sight and his. And laughter  will replace your sighs because God's Son remembered that he is
Tx:27.26 In this interpretation of correction, your own mistakes you  will not even see. The focus of correction has been placed outside
Tx:27.27  which the Holy Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured that He  will not fulfill a function He cannot understand and recognize as
Tx:27.32  the invitation's real appeal. For what you leave as vacant, God  will fill, and where He is, there must the truth abide. Unweakened
Tx:27.33  in the learning interval it has a use which now you fear, but yet  will love.
Tx:27.34  given you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and vacant  will not need defense of any kind. For you will give it overwhelming
Tx:27.34  unoccupied and vacant will not need defense of any kind. For you  will give it overwhelming preference. Nor delay an instant in
Tx:27.34  [For this you need no pictures and no learning aids.] And what  will ultimately take the place of every learning aid will merely
Tx:27.34  aids.] And what will ultimately take the place of every learning aid  will merely be. Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing
Tx:27.36  purpose is to make no resolution possible and to ensure no answer  will be plain. A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is
Tx:27.38  For there the problem will be answered and resolved. Outside there  will be no solution, for there is no answer there that could be

Tx:27.42  is meaningful at all. And so unless the answer tells “of whom,” it  will remain unrecognized, unheard, and thus the question is preserved
Tx:27.43  which holds the answer lovingly for you. Here are the answers which  will solve your problems because they stand apart from them, and see
Tx:27.44  needed that it can begin. Accept the miracle of healing, and it  will go forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend
Tx:27.47  the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing  will the world indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld its peace
Tx:27.48  left behind on your returning to the world. And being blessed, you  will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the dying world. And
Tx:27.48  is given you to give the dying world. And suffering eyes no longer  will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who blessing gave. The holy
Tx:27.48  in thanks to you who blessing gave. The holy instant's radiance  will light your eyes and give them sight to see beyond all suffering
Tx:27.48  the other, for they cannot both be there. And what you see the world  will witness, and will witness to.
Tx:27.48  cannot both be there. And what you see the world will witness, and  will witness to.
Tx:27.49  lesson which has perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it  will the world remind you gently of what you have taught. No
Tx:27.49  world remind you gently of what you have taught. No reinforcement  will its thanks withhold from you who let yourself be healed that it
Tx:27.49  withhold from you who let yourself be healed that it might live. It  will call forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you who
Tx:27.49  the Friend who brought them their release. And happily your brother  will perceive the many friends he thought were enemies.
Tx:27.51 Your healing  will extend and will be brought to problems that you thought were not
Tx:27.51 Your healing will extend and  will be brought to problems that you thought were not your own. And
Tx:27.51  be brought to problems that you thought were not your own. And it  will also be apparent that your many different problems will be
Tx:27.51  own. And it will also be apparent that your many different problems  will be solved as any one of them has been escaped. It cannot be
Tx:27.52  of your learning to the One Who really understands its laws and Who  will guarantee that they remain unviolated and unlimited. Your part
Tx:27.52  part is merely to apply what He has taught you to yourself, and He  will do the rest. And thus the power of your learning will be proved
Tx:27.52  and He will do the rest. And thus the power of your learning  will be proved to you by all the many different witnesses it finds.
Tx:27.52  the many different witnesses it finds. Your brother first among them  will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and beyond each one
Tx:27.53 Peace be to you to whom is healing offered. And you  will learn that peace is given you when you accept the healing for
Tx:27.53  occurred within the instant which love entered in without attack  will stay with you forever. Your healing will be one of its effects,
Tx:27.53  entered in without attack will stay with you forever. Your healing  will be one of its effects, as will your brother's. Everywhere you go
Tx:27.53  stay with you forever. Your healing will be one of its effects, as  will your brother's. Everywhere you go will you behold its multiplied
Tx:27.53  be one of its effects, as will your brother's. Everywhere you go  will you behold its multiplied effects. Yet all the witnesses that
Tx:27.53  behold its multiplied effects. Yet all the witnesses that you behold  will be far less than all there really are. Infinity cannot be
Tx:27.55  this, the witnesses of sin are all alike. Call pleasure pain, and it  will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure
Tx:27.55  it will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure  will be felt no more. Sin's witnesses but shift from name to name, as
Tx:27.61  that you may demonstrate the healing of the world. The holy instant  will replace all sin if you but carry its effects with you. And no
Tx:27.61  replace all sin if you but carry its effects with you. And no one  will elect to suffer more. What better function could you serve than
Tx:27.61  heal, and suffer not the laws of sin to be applied to you. And truth  will be revealed to you who chose to let love's symbols take the
Tx:27.63  to keep the problem unresolved? Without the clouds, the problem  will emerge in all its primitive simplicity. The choice will not be
Tx:27.63  the problem will emerge in all its primitive simplicity. The choice  will not be difficult, because the problem is absurd when clearly
Tx:27.65  one thinks that if he does his part, the condemnation of the world  will rest on him. And it is this that he perceives to be his part
Tx:27.66 The means attest the purpose but are not themselves a cause. Nor  will the cause be changed by seeing it apart from its effects. The

Tx:27.75  with you in holy innocence. And from this dream, the Lord of Heaven  will Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream of your brother's
Tx:27.79  of every dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream  will never change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes

Tx:27.82 We can remember this if we but look directly at their cause. And we  will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us
Tx:27.84 The world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you  will believe that others do to you exactly what you think you did
Tx:27.84  you think you did to them. But once deluded into blaming them, you  will not see the cause of what they do because you want the guilt
Tx:27.85  of God, behold your idle dream in which this could occur,” and you  will leave the holy instant with your laughter and your brother's
Tx:27.86  failed to recognize it is your dream. This single lesson learned  will set you free from suffering, whatever form it takes.
Tx:27.87 The Holy Spirit  will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it has
Tx:27.87  of suffering that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He  will make answer with this very simple truth. For this one answer
Tx:27.87  the single cause of all of them, no matter what their form. And you  will understand that miracles reflect the simple statement,
Tx:27.89  is like the rest. He sees no differences where none exist, and He  will teach you how each one is caused. None has a different cause
Tx:27.89  learn you choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently  will you perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive
Tx:27.89  this is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt, you  will be free of it. Its innocence does not demand your guilt, nor
Tx:27.90  they both be true. This is the only secret yet to learn. And it  will be no secret you are healed.
Tx:28.6  because its cause has gone. Yet change must have a cause that  will endure or else it will not last. No change can be made in the
Tx:28.6  has gone. Yet change must have a cause that will endure or else it  will not last. No change can be made in the present if its cause is
Tx:28.7  new effects of cause accepted now, with consequences here. They  will surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new ideas they
Tx:28.7  surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new ideas they bring  will be the happy consequences of a cause so ancient that it far
Tx:28.8  in which He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its consequences  will indeed seem new because you thought that you remembered not
Tx:28.8  Yet was It never absent from your mind, for it was not your Father's  Will that He be unremembered by His [only] Son.
Tx:28.9  you that It has not gone. When you forgive It for your sins, It  will no longer be denied.
Tx:28.10  His Son could be condemned for what was causeless and against His  Will. What your remembering would witness to is but the fear of God.
Tx:28.11  in quiet then, to other minds to share its quietness. And they  will join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into
Tx:28.11  own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its place  will not be wholly unremembered afterwards.
Tx:28.15  the memory of God to flow across it, making it a bridge an instant  will suffice to reach beyond? For God has closed it with Himself. His
Tx:28.15  and gently carried over. He has built the bridge, and it is He Who  will transport His Son across it. Have no fear that He will fail in
Tx:28.15  it is He Who will transport His Son across it. Have no fear that He  will fail in what He wills. Nor that you be excluded from the Will
Tx:28.15  He will fail in what He wills. Nor that you be excluded from the  Will that is for you.
Tx:28.21  it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but never  will you give it real effects. For that would change its cause, and
Tx:28.24  For this confusion has produced the dream, and while it lasts,  will wakening be feared. Nor will the call to wakening be heard,
Tx:28.24  produced the dream, and while it lasts, will wakening be feared. Nor  will the call to wakening be heard, because it seems to be the call
Tx:28.26  the body to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson  will not teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but
Tx:28.27  is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation  will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to
Tx:28.28  concern at present. Here is where we must begin. And having started,  will the way be made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and
Tx:28.28  to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the dream  will fade away without effects. For it is your support that
Tx:28.33  the shame of [sin] He cannot bridge, for He cannot destroy the alien  will that He created not. Let its effects be gone and clutch them not
Tx:28.33  them not with eager hands, to keep them for yourself. The miracle  will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who wills to
Tx:28.35  was seen to stand between you, join your brother there. And sickness  will be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness
Tx:28.35  to bring 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

Tx:28.40  if you do, you will have faith in yours. With faith in yours, he  will not be released, and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And
Tx:28.40  and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And dreams of fear  will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you have
Tx:28.41 Be certain, if you do your part, he  will do his, for he will join you where you stand. Call not to him to
Tx:28.41 Be certain, if you do your part, he will do his, for he  will join you where you stand. Call not to him to meet you in the gap
Tx:28.42  of yours. Yet if you see there is no truth in yours, his dreams  will [disappear before his eyes], and he will understand what made
Tx:28.42  truth in yours, his dreams will [disappear before his eyes], and he  will understand what made the dream.
Tx:28.44  which he insisted was himself. And when he sees this picture, he  will recognize himself. If you share not your brother's evil dream,
Tx:28.44  your brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle  will place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of
Tx:28.44  clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the Father  will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to himself.
Tx:28.45 I thank you, Father, knowing you  will come to close each little gap that lies between the broken
Tx:28.46  to 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.
Tx:28.46  the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there  will be no loss, but only gain.
Tx:28.47  share it, nothing can exist. And you exist because God shared His  Will with you, that His creation might create.
Tx:28.49 Remember if you share an evil dream, you  will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you will
Tx:28.49  you will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you  will not want to know your own Identity because you think that it
Tx:28.53  gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you  will see within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing
Tx:28.54  understand what it is for. It does not victimize because it has no  will, no preferences, and no doubts. It does not wonder what it is.
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
Tx:28.59  with each one—that you be one with him and not apart. And he  will keep the promise that you make with him because it is the one

Tx:28.59  of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not his  will, who has made promise of himself to God.
Tx:28.60  where God is not, a gap between the Father and the Son is not the  will of either, who have promised to be one. God's promise is a
Tx:28.60  there is no gap between Himself and what He is cannot be false. What  will can come between what must be one, and in Whose wholeness
Tx:28.61  and the world waits with him. Nor are you apart from it. For healing  will be one or not at all, its oneness being where the healing lies.
Tx:28.63  healing of God's Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It  will not join a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it

Tx:29.5  you cannot do. It dictates what its health can tolerate and what  will tire it and make it sick. And its “inherent” weaknesses set up
Tx:29.6 The body will accommodate to this if you would have it so. It  will allow but limited indulgences in “love,” with intervals of
Tx:29.6  indulgences in “love,” with intervals of hatred in between. And it  will take command of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely
Tx:29.6  of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely into fear. It  will be sick because you do not know what loving means. And so you
Tx:29.10  you give up nothing, until you understand there is no loss, you  will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen. And you
Tx:29.10  will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen. And you  will not see the many gains your choice has offered you. Yet though
Tx:29.11  its effects are there, though not yet seen. Look inward now, and you  will not behold a reason for regret but cause indeed for glad

Tx:29.13  to all who walk apart believing they are separate and alone. They  will be healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest will
Tx:29.13  They will be healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest  will welcome everyone whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon
Tx:29.14  you can see the gifts He brought. And when you look on them, you  will believe His Presence must be there. For what you now can do
Tx:29.18 The body that is asked to be a god  will be attacked because its nothingness has not been recognized. And

Tx:29.23  your mind. When light has come to him through your forgiveness, he  will not forget his savior, leaving him unsaved. For it was in your
Tx:29.24  the dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking eyes  will rest on you. And in his glad salvation, you are saved.
Tx:29.27  It can be in you or someone else, but where it is perceived, it  will be there it is attacked. Depression or assault must be the theme
Tx:29.36  Holy Spirit gives the dream its function, it was made for hate and  will continue in death's services. Each form it takes in some way
Tx:29.39  thing in all the universe that must be one. What seems eternal all  will have an end. The stars will disappear, and night and day will be

Tx:29.39  all will have an end. The stars will disappear, and night and day  will be no more. All things that come and go, the tides, the seasons,
Tx:29.39  lives of men; all things that change with time and bloom and fade  will not return. Where time has set an end is not where the eternal
Tx:29.39  eternal is. God's Son can never change by what men made of him. He  will be as he was and as he is, for time appointed not his destiny
Tx:29.39  not his destiny nor set the hour of his birth and death. Forgiveness  will not change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that the things
Tx:29.42 This world  will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body only if you
Tx:29.43 Seek not outside yourself. For it  will fail, and you will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot
Tx:29.43 Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you  will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is
Tx:29.43  no peace excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God calls  will never answer in His place. There is no other answer you can
Tx:29.44  or some dream that there is something outside of himself that  will bring happiness and peace to him. If everything is in him, this
Tx:29.45 The lingering illusion  will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek beyond them
Tx:29.45  thousand idols and to seek beyond them for a thousand more. And each  will fail him, all excepting one; for he will die and does not
Tx:29.45  a thousand more. And each will fail him, all excepting one; for he  will die and does not understand the idol that he seeks is but his

Tx:29.58  things forever and has left no room for anything to be except His  Will. Nothing and nowhere must an idol be while God is everything and
Tx:29.59  contain. Each worshiper of idols harbors hope his special deities  will give him more than other men possess. It must be more. It does

Tx:29.62  of it. Judge not, for he who judges will have need of idols which  will hold the judgment off from resting on himself. Nor can he know
Tx:29.63  an injustice to God's Son, and it is justice that who judges him  will not escape the penalty he laid upon himself within the dream he
Tx:29.66  judges this as does a child, who does not know what hurts and what  will heal. And bad things seem to happen, and he is afraid of all the
Tx:29.69  Heaven goes with you—be sure you made an idol and believe it  will betray you. For beneath your hope that it will save you lie the
Tx:29.69  idol and believe it will betray you. For beneath your hope that it  will save you lie the guilt and pain of self-betrayal and
Tx:30.1  one thing alone—your willingness to practice every step. Each one  will help a little every time it is attempted. And together will
Tx:30.1  Each one will help a little every time it is attempted. And together  will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams
Tx:30.1  the rules by which you live. We seek to make them habits now, so you  will have them ready for whatever need.
Tx:30.2  you take. The proper set, adopted consciously each time you wake,  will put you well ahead. And if you find resistance strong and

Tx:30.5  But it must also mean you will not judge the situations where you  will be called upon to make response. For if you judge them, you have
Tx:30.6  feel attacked. And therefore angry. There are rules by which this  will not happen. But it does occur at first, while you are learning
Tx:30.8 If I make no decision by myself, This is the day that  will be given me.
Tx:30.9 These two procedures, practiced well,  will serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition will
Tx:30.9  well, will serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition  will not first arise and then become a problem in itself.
Tx:30.10 But there  will still be times when you have judged already. Now the answer
Tx:30.10  will still be times when you have judged already. Now the answer  will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out your mind to
Tx:30.10  unless you quickly straighten out your mind to want an answer that  will work. Be certain this has happened if you feel yourself
Tx:30.14  in a different way from what your version of the question asks  will gain momentum until you believe the day you want is one in which
Tx:30.14  is one in which you get your answer to your question. And you  will not get it, for it would destroy the day by robbing you of what
Tx:30.20  need, because you do not like the way you feel. This tiny opening  will be enough to let you go ahead with just a few more steps you
Tx:30.21  reached the turning point, because it has occurred to you that you  will gain if what you have decided is not so. Until this point is
Tx:30.21  if what you have decided is not so. Until this point is reached, you  will believe your happiness depends on being right. But this much
Tx:30.22 6. This tiny grain of wisdom  will suffice to take you further. You are not coerced but merely hope
Tx:30.27 Thus you now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer  will make sense as well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see
Tx:30.27  that makes sense, and so the answer will make sense as well. Nor  will you fight against it, for you see that it is you who will be
Tx:30.27  Nor will you fight against it, for you see that it is you who  will be helped by it.
Tx:30.28  from entering at all. But this takes practice in the rules which  will protect you from the ravages of fear. When this has been
Tx:30.29  then, is not coercion but a simple statement of a simple fact. You  will not make decisions by yourself whatever you decide. For they
Tx:30.29  God. And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose  will join with you and tell you what to do.
Tx:30.31  the world as well. The day you want you offer to the world, for it  will be what you have asked for and will reinforce the rule of your
Tx:30.31  you offer to the world, for it will be what you have asked for and  will reinforce the rule of your advisor in the world. Whose kingdom
Tx:30.31  world. Whose kingdom is the world for you today? What kind of day  will you decide to have?
Tx:30.32  that they cannot decide alone to guarantee the joy they asked for  will be wholly shared. For they have understood the basic law that
Tx:30.32  law that makes decision powerful and gives it all effects that it  will ever have. It needs but two. These two are joined before there
Tx:30.32  Let this be the one reminder that you keep in mind, and you  will have the day you want and give it to the world by having it
Tx:30.33  the Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your  will; He speaks for you. In His divinity is but your own. And all
Tx:30.33  He knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you may do your  will through Him. God asks you do your will. He joins with you.
Tx:30.33  you that you may do your will through Him. God asks you do your  will. He joins with you. He did not set His Kingdom up alone. And
Tx:30.33  not set His Kingdom up alone. And Heaven itself but represents your  will, where everything created is for you. No spark of life but was
Tx:30.34 How wonderful it is to do your  will! For that is freedom. There is nothing else that ever should be
Tx:30.34  that ever should be called by freedom's name. Unless you do your  will, you are not free. And would God leave His Son without what he
Tx:30.34  chosen for himself? God but ensured that you would never lose your  will when He gave you His perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be
Tx:30.34  Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and learn your  will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not
Tx:30.35  is His Voice and yours as well, reminding you that it is not your  will to hate and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a little
Tx:30.35  fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a little life. Your  will is boundless; it is not your will that it be bound. What lies in
Tx:30.35  creature with a little life. Your will is boundless; it is not your  will that it be bound. What lies in you has joined with God Himself
Tx:30.35  creation's birth. Remember He Who has created you and through your  will created everything. Not one created thing but gives you thanks,
Tx:30.35  Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by your  will that it was born. No light of Heaven shines except for you, for
Tx:30.35  of Heaven shines except for you, for it was set in Heaven by your  will.
Tx:30.36  co-creator of the universe along with Him. He would but keep your  will forever and forever limitless.
Tx:30.37 This world awaits the freedom you  will give when you have recognized that you are free. But you will
Tx:30.37  you will give when you have recognized that you are free. But you  will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your
Tx:30.37  will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your  will to you. For it is by your will the world is given freedom. Nor
Tx:30.37  you have forgiven Him Who gave your will to you. For it is by your  will the world is given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him
Tx:30.37  is given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy  will you share. God turns to you to ask the world be saved, for by
Tx:30.37  no power over him because he shares your freedom as he shares your  will. It is your will to heal him, and because you have decided
Tx:30.37  because he shares your freedom as he shares your will. It is your  will to heal him, and because you have decided with him, he is
Tx:30.38 Idols are quite specific. But your  will is universal, being limitless. And so it has no form nor is
Tx:30.38  Idols are limits. They are the belief that there are forms which  will bring happiness and that, by limiting, is all attained. It is
Tx:30.38  “I have no need of everything. This little thing I want, and it  will be as everything to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because
Tx:30.38  everything to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because it is your  will that everything be yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for
Tx:30.39  the limitless be limited? You do not want an idol. It is not your  will to have one. It will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When
Tx:30.39  You do not want an idol. It is not your will to have one. It  will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the
Tx:30.39  you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your  will within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this
Tx:30.39  thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could never be your  will because what shares in all creation cannot be content with small
Tx:30.40  mean that you believe some form is missing. And by finding this, you  will achieve completion in a form you like. This is the purpose of
Tx:30.40  in a form you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you  will not look beyond it to the source of the belief that you are
Tx:30.41  the right to ask for. Nor could it be possible it be denied. Your  will to be complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by
Tx:30.41  it be possible it be denied. Your will to be complete is but God's  Will, and this is given you by being His. God knows not form. He
Tx:30.41  form. He cannot answer you in terms which have no meaning. And your  will could not be satisfied with empty forms made but to fill a gap
Tx:30.42  has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands his holy  will to be but what he is. For more than whole is meaningless. If
Tx:30.42  make whole. But what is really asked for cannot be denied. Your  will is granted. Not in any form that would content you not, but in
Tx:30.44  God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It  will always be exactly as it was before the time when you forgot and
Tx:30.44  will always be exactly as it was before the time when you forgot and  will be just the same when you remember. And it is the same within
Tx:30.45  of Heaven know not it is there. Yet still and white and lovely  will it shine through all eternity. There was no time it was not
Tx:30.49 You will attack what does not satisfy, and thus you  will not see you made it up. You always fight illusions. For the
Tx:30.52  toys without a single meaning of their own. See one in them, and you  will see them all. See none in them, and they will touch you not.
Tx:30.52  one in them, and you will see them all. See none in them, and they  will touch you not.
Tx:30.54  that wants to be deceived. And you can make a simple choice that  will forever place you far beyond deception. You need not concern

Tx:30.55  and seek no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes for the  Will of God.
Tx:30.56  thing that he could ever want. He is delivered from illusions by his  will and but restored to what he is. What could God's plan for his
Tx:30.59  the purpose of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he  will go beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made
Tx:30.63  they joined their hands, it was Christ's hand they took, and they  will look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked
Tx:30.63  the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then  will come the knowledge They are One.
Tx:30.68  then. And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he  will pay the cost as well as you. For he will be delayed when you
Tx:30.68  remembering that he will pay the cost as well as you. For he  will be delayed when you look back, and you will not perceive Whose
Tx:30.68  as well as you. For he will be delayed when you look back, and you  will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look forward, then, and
Tx:30.69 The  Will of God forever lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they
Tx:30.69  when they joined and shared a purpose, they were free to learn their  will is one. And thus the Will of God must reach to their awareness.

Tx:30.70  Attack has no foundation. It is here escape from fear begins and  will be made complete. Here is the real world given in exchange for
Tx:30.70  that, by responding in a way which is not justified, your pardon  will become the answer to attack that has been made. And thus is
Tx:30.73  you have learned forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor  will you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your
Tx:30.74 Forgiveness recognized as merited  will heal. It gives the miracle its strength to overlook illusions.
Tx:30.74  creation and to make a world which could replace it and destroy the  Will of God. Only if this were possible could there be some
Tx:30.76  but only some of it. You must forgive God's Son entirely. Or you  will keep an image of yourself that is not whole and will remain
Tx:30.76  Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole and  will remain afraid to look within and find escape from every idol
Tx:30.78 God's Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor  will you know him if you think he does not merit the escape from
Tx:30.79 I thank you, Father, for your perfect Son, and in his glory  will I see my own.
Tx:30.80  statement that there are no forms of evil which can overcome the  Will of God—the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by
Tx:30.81 Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you  will understand he could not make an error that could change the
Tx:30.81  what you see as having power to make an idol of the Son of God you  will not pardon. For he has become to you a graven image and a sign
Tx:30.88 Do not interpret out of solitude, for what you see means nothing. It  will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe the world is
Tx:30.88  you see means nothing. It will shift in what it stands for, and you  will believe the world is an uncertain place in which you walk in
Tx:30.89  see beyond appearances, you are deceived. For everything you see  will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it
Tx:30.93  and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It  will be given you to look upon your brother thus. But not while you
Tx:30.93  no dreams about him which you would prefer to seeing this. And you  will see the Christ in him because you let Him come to you. And
Tx:30.93  you let Him come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you  will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your
Tx:30.94 This  will you look upon when you decide there is not one appearance you
Tx:30.94  in him in your sight of him. There is no false appearance but  will fade if you request a miracle instead. There is no pain from
Tx:31.1  All it says is what was never true is not true now and never  will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have no effects. And
Tx:31.3  For your power to learn is strong enough to teach you that your  will is not your own, your thoughts do not belong to you, and even
Tx:31.5  an ability you made and gave yourselves. It was not made to do the  Will of God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a
Tx:31.5  of God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a  will apart from It was yet more real than It. And this has learning
Tx:31.6  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 will you
Tx:31.6  power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which lesson  will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and far
Tx:31.6  little learning, strange in outcome and incredible in difficulty,  will withstand the simple lessons being taught to you in every moment
Tx:31.7  happiness in it. There is no plan for safety you can make that ever  will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and hope to
Tx:31.8  in the selfsame tongue in which the call was made. And you  will understand it was this call that everyone and everything within
Tx:31.9 There is no living thing which does not share the universal  will that it be whole and that you do not leave its call unheard.
Tx:31.10  Who calls to you beyond each form of hate, each call to war. Yet you  will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the language that He
Tx:31.10  Him as you give Him answer in the language that He calls. He  will appear when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that
Tx:31.10  that He calls. He will appear when you have answered Him, and you  will know in Him that God is Love.
Tx:31.11  call beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world  will give you joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And
Tx:31.15  is not a choice and gives but the illusion it is free, for it  will have one outcome either way. Thus is it really not a choice at
Tx:31.17  What does he ask you for? And listen well! For he is asking what  will come to you because you see an image of yourself and hear
Tx:31.20  road. He is like us, as near or far away from what we want as we  will let him be. We make no gains he does not make with us, and we
Tx:31.21 Because he is your equal in God's love, you  will be saved from all appearances and answer to the Christ Who calls
Tx:31.22  you ever learned before and put aside all images you made. The old  will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent.
Tx:31.22  fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. There  will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in
Tx:31.22  upon the things you thought were precious and in need of care. There  will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been
Tx:31.22  upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made. Nothing  will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to listen silently
Tx:31.22  and learn the truth of what you really want. No more than this  will you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand
Tx:31.22  more than this will you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you  will understand you need but come away without the thoughts you did
Tx:31.24  of who your great companion is and what he should be asking for  will be enough to let this happen. And you will perceive his purpose
Tx:31.24  he should be asking for will be enough to let this happen. And you  will perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what
Tx:31.26 Only the self-accused condemn. As you prepare to make a choice that  will result in different outcomes, there is first one thing that must
Tx:31.31  that it has been given you to change what you believe. The body  will but follow. It can never lead you where you would not be. It
Tx:31.31  with your awakening. Release your body from imprisonment, and you  will see no one as prisoner to what you have escaped. You will not
Tx:31.31  and you will see no one as prisoner to what you have escaped. You  will not want to hold in guilt your chosen enemies nor keep in chains
Tx:31.32  from imprisonment and death. Open your mind to change, and there  will be no ancient penalty exacted from your brother or yourself.
Tx:31.33  time when everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose which road  will lead you out of conflict and away from difficulties which
Tx:31.33  escape from them by leaving them behind? What must go with you, you  will take with you whatever road you choose to walk along.
Tx:31.34  is but the means to gain that end, for it is here that all its roads  will lead, however differently they seem to start, however
Tx:31.34  Their end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of them  will lead to death. On some you travel gaily for a while before the
Tx:31.34  And on some the thorns are felt at once. The choice is not what  will the ending be but when it comes.
Tx:31.36  you have learned to what is yet to learn. For from this lowest point  will learning lead to heights of happiness in which you see the
Tx:31.39  not away from it. And every road that leads the other way  will not advance the purpose to be found. If this be difficult to
Tx:31.40  on this—you choose between your brother and yourself, and you  will gain as much as he will lose, and what you lose is what is given
Tx:31.40  between your brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he  will lose, and what you lose is what is given him. How utterly
Tx:31.41  nor any worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the world  will lead within, when every road was made to separate the journey
Tx:31.41  be but futile wandering? All roads that lead away from what you are  will lead you to confusion and despair. Yet has He never left His
Tx:31.47  the pathways of the world are safely kept and those who walk on them  will not escape.
Tx:31.50  the single aim of teaching you this concept of yourself, that you  will choose to follow this world's laws and never seek to go beyond
Tx:31.57  with evil and reacts to wicked things? Your concept of yourself  will still remain quite meaningless. And you will not perceive that
Tx:31.57  concept of yourself will still remain quite meaningless. And you  will not perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a
Tx:31.58 You  will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one
Tx:31.58  will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one  will show the changes in your own relationships as your perception of
Tx:31.58  own relationships as your perception of yourself is changed. There  will be some confusion every time there is a shift, but be you
Tx:31.58  upon your mind. And be you sure and happy in the confidence that it  will go at last and leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser
Tx:31.58  go at last and leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser  will appear in many places and in many forms. And each will seem to
Tx:31.58  the accuser will appear in many places and in many forms. And each  will seem to be accusing you. Yet have no fear it will not be
Tx:31.58  forms. And each will seem to be accusing you. Yet have no fear it  will not be undone.
Tx:31.59  can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There  will come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you
Tx:31.59  them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you  will see you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open
Tx:31.61 Yet in this learning is salvation born. And what you are  will tell you of Itself.
Tx:31.62  flesh or Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never  will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that
Tx:31.63  and loss. And no one is exactly as he was an instant previous, nor  will he be the same as he is now an instant hence. Who could have
Tx:31.64  how to behold a world apart from it. It is your world salvation  will undo and let you see another world your eyes could never find.
Tx:31.65  Heaven plain. The means are given you by which to see the world that  will replace the one you made. Your will be done! In Heaven as on
Tx:31.65  by which to see the world that will replace the one you made. Your  will be done! In Heaven as on earth, this is forever true. It matters
Tx:31.65  you choose to feel or think or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your  will be done.” And it is done to you accordingly.
Tx:31.66  God as you would have him be, forget not that no concept of yourself  will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be
Tx:31.66  seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived before  will change the world for eyes that learn to see, because the concept
Tx:31.67  to the kind in heart? And what could hurt the truly innocent? Your  will be done, you holy Child of God. It does not matter if you think
Tx:31.67  as light, as innocent as Love Itself. And you are worthy that your  will be done!
Tx:31.69  your “evil” thoughts as long as you see value in attack. You  will perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless.
Tx:31.69  as you see value in attack. You will perceive them sometimes, but  will not see them as meaningless. And so they come in fearful form,
Tx:31.70  in him, the body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight and  will at length be seen as little more than just a shadow circling
Tx:31.70  as little more than just a shadow circling round the good. And this  will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the world

W1:I.3  purpose is to train the mind to generalize the lessons, so that you  will understand that each of them is as applicable to one situation
W1:I.4  which the idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim of the exercises  will always be to increase the application of the idea to everything.
W1:I.4  be to increase the application of the idea to everything. This  will not require effort. Only be sure that you make no exceptions in
W1:I.5 Some of the ideas you  will find hard to believe, and others will seem quite startling. It
W1:I.5 Some of the ideas you will find hard to believe, and others  will seem quite startling. It does not matter. You are merely asked
W1:I.5  believe them. You are asked only to use them. It is their use which  will give them meaning to you and show you they are true. Remember
W1:I.5  not welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this  will matter nor decrease their efficacy. But allow yourself to make
W1:2.1  and do not attempt to include everything in an area or you  will introduce strain. Merely glance easily and fairly quickly around
W1:4.1  Do not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.” You  will find, if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they

W1:9.1  you may be able to accept it intellectually, it is unlikely that it  will mean anything to you as yet. However, understanding is not
W1:9.2  that is required for these or any other exercises. Each little step  will clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding will

W1:10.5 This idea  will help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:10.9 This idea  will help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:11.4 Three practice periods today  will probably be sufficient. However, if there is little or no

W1:13.1  Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does not follow that you  will not think you perceive something that has no meaning. On the
W1:13.1  you perceive something that has no meaning. On the contrary, you  will be particularly likely to think you do perceive it.
W1:13.3  accept it without fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you  will endow the world with attributes which it does not possess and
W1:13.8  You are not expected to believe the statement at this point and  will probably try to dismiss it as preposterous. Note carefully,
W1:13.8  try not even to think of it except during the exercise periods. That  will suffice at present.

W1:15.2  which you call seeing will not have much meaning for you. You  will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light

W1:15.3  perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These exercises  will not reveal knowledge to you. But they will prepare the way to it.
W1:15.3  These exercises will not reveal knowledge to you. But they  will prepare the way to it.
W1:15.7 Although you  will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many things

W1:18.2  see as much as to how you see it. Therefore, the exercises for today  will emphasize this aspect of your perception. The three or four
W1:18.7 A minute or so or even less  will be sufficient.
W1:19.1  obviously the reason why your seeing does not affect you alone. You  will notice that at times the ideas related to thinking precede those
W1:19.2  private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you  will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at
W1:19.2  is possible at all. And salvation must be possible because it is the  Will of God.
W1:19.5  for the practice period should be quite familiar to you by now and  will no longer be repeated each day, although it will occasionally be
W1:19.5  to you by now and will no longer be repeated each day, although it  will occasionally be included as a reminder. Do not forget, however,
W1:19.5  remains essential throughout. Lack of order in this connection  will ultimately make the recognition of lack of order in miracles
W1:20.1  of your thinking. The salvation of the world depends on it. Yet you  will not see if you regard yourself as being coerced and if you give
W1:20.2  fear. You are now learning how to tell them apart. And great indeed  will be your reward.
W1:20.3  not? God has one Son, and he is the resurrection and the life. His  Will is done because all power is given him in Heaven and on earth.

W1:20.5  You can see them differently, and you will. What you desire, you  will see. Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in
W1:21.2  rage. The degree of the emotion you experience does not matter. You  will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is
W1:21.3  and nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. You  will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations than on
W1:22.1  change how he sees. Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counter-attack  will preoccupy him and people his entire world. What peace of mind is
W1:22.4 I see only the perishable. I see nothing that  will last. What I see is not real. What I see is a form of vengeance.
W1:23.1 The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that  will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else is
W1:23.1  the only way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else  will work; everything else is meaningless. But this way cannot fail.
W1:23.2  about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The effects  will change automatically.
W1:23.4  now. Loveliness can light your images and so transform them that you  will love them even though they were made of hate. For you will not
W1:23.4  that you will love them even though they were made of hate. For you  will not be making them alone.
W1:23.5  have already been replaced. By taking the first two steps, you  will see that this is so.
W1:23.9  that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different, you  will be ready to let the cause go.
W1:24.1  and that perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you  will not serve your own best interests. Yet they are your only goal
W1:24.1  goal in any situation which is correctly perceived. Otherwise, you  will not recognize what they are.
W1:24.3  each of the five practice periods which should be undertaken today,  will be more helpful than a more cursory examination of a large
W1:24.4  The emphasis should be on uncovering the outcome you want. You  will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in mind as part
W1:24.8 If these exercises are done properly, you  will quickly recognize that you are making a large number of demands
W1:24.8  of demands of the situation which have nothing to do with it. You  will also recognize that many of your goals are contradictory, that
W1:25.2  As a result, you are bound to misuse it. When you believe this, you  will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the world instead
W1:26.1  through you must also have effects on you. It is this law that  will ultimately save you. But you are misusing it now. You must
W1:26.2 Because your attack thoughts  will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you
W1:26.2 Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you  will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must believe that you
W1:26.4 Practice with today's idea  will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is
W1:26.6  to recur in your thoughts during the day is a suitable subject. You  will not be able to use very many for any one practice period,
W1:26.10 I am afraid ______  will happen.
W1:26.12 As the list of anticipated outcomes for each situation continues, you  will probably find some of them, especially those which occur to you
W1:27.1  The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea  will be wholly true a little nearer.
W1:27.6  afterwards and attempt to adhere to it throughout the day. It  will not be difficult to do this, even if you are engaged in
W1:27.7 The real question is how often  will you remember? How much do you want today's idea to be true?
W1:27.7  Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other. You  will probably miss several applications and perhaps quite a number.
W1:28.1  to the idea for yesterday. In these practice periods, you  will be making a series of definite commitments. The question of
W1:28.1  making a series of definite commitments. The question of whether you  will keep them in the future is not our concern here. If you are
W1:28.2  You either see or not. When you have seen one thing differently, you  will see all things differently. The light you will see in any one of
W1:28.2  differently, you will see all things differently. The light you  will see in any one of them is the same light you will see in them
W1:28.2  The light you will see in any one of them is the same light you  will see in them all.
W1:28.4 You  will not question what we have already defined. And the purpose of
W1:28.6  are therefore really asking to see the purpose of the universe. You  will be making this same request of each subject which you use in the
W1:28.7 We  will have six two minute practice periods today in which the idea for
W1:29.2 You  will probably find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point.
W1:29.3  When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you  will understand today's idea perfectly. And you will not understand
W1:29.3  up the world, you will understand today's idea perfectly. And you  will not understand how you could ever have found it difficult.
W1:30.1 The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea  will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see
W1:30.1  vision. From this idea will the world open up before you, and you  will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor
W1:30.1  will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor  will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you.
W1:31.1  see without and the world you see within. In applying the idea, we  will use a form of practice which will be used more and more, with
W1:31.1  within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which  will be used more and more, with changes as indicated. Generally
W1:31.2  close your eyes and apply the same idea to your inner world. You  will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause of the
W1:31.5  a response to any form of temptation. It is a declaration that you  will not yield to it and put yourself in bondage.
W1:32.1  you invented it. You can give it up as easily as you made it up. You  will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you want it, you will
W1:32.1  You will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you want it, you  will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be there for you
W1:32.1  While you want it, you will see it; when you no longer want it, it  will not be there for you to see.
W1:32.2  since you see them as different, the practice periods for today  will again include two phases, one involving the world you see
W1:32.3 Again we  will begin the practice periods for the morning and evening by
W1:33.5  and repeat the idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes  will probably help in this form of application.
W1:34.7  them to repeating the idea until you feel some sense of relief. It  will help you if you tell yourself specifically:
W1:35.1  the way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision  will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this
W1:35.2 You  will believe that you are part of where you think you are. That is
W1:35.3  Identity, and it describes you as you must really be in truth. We  will use a somewhat different kind of application for today's idea
W1:35.5 In the earlier part of the mind searching period, you  will probably emphasize what you consider to be the more negative
W1:35.8 You should not think of these terms in an abstract way. They  will occur to you as various situations, personalities and events in
W1:35.10 During the longer exercise periods, there  will probably be intervals in which nothing specific occurs to you.
W1:37.2  can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other way of seeing  will inevitably demand payment of someone or something. As a result,
W1:37.2  demand payment of someone or something. As a result, the perceiver  will lose. Nor will he have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his
W1:37.2  of someone or something. As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor  will he have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored
W1:38.3 In today's exercises, we  will apply the power of your holiness to all problems, difficulties,
W1:38.3  any form that you happen to think of in yourself or someone else. We  will make no distinctions because there are no distinctions.
W1:39.3  must be saved. How else can he teach salvation? Today's exercises  will apply to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial
W1:39.4  answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or  will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt and
W1:39.7  that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on them that  will save you and give you vision.
W1:39.10  of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at first. It  will become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and
W1:40.1 Today we  will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are
W1:40.2 You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you  will probably find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in
W1:40.7  merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God  will do.
W1:41.1 Today's idea  will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and
W1:41.2  ready to radiate through you and out into the whole world. It  will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal
W1:41.2  world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it  will heal the mind that thought these things were real and suffered
W1:41.4  dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we  will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy
W1:41.5 There  will be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as soon
W1:41.7  might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way  will open if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring
W1:41.7  it is attempted. And sooner or later, it is always successful. We  will go into more detail in connection with this kind of practice as
W1:41.7  in connection with this kind of practice as we go along. But it  will never fail completely, and instant success is possible.
W1:42.1  cannot fail in your efforts to achieve the goal of the course. You  will see because it is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your
W1:42.1  to achieve the goal of the course. You will see because it is the  Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you power.
W1:42.3 We  will have two three- to five-minute longer exercise periods today,
W1:42.10 The more often you repeat the idea during the day, the more often you  will be reminding yourself that the goal of the course is important
W1:43.1  knowledge forever in your minds. With this link with God, perception  will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge.
W1:43.1  with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it  will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the Holy Spirit sees
W1:44.3  we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we  will use a form of practice which has been suggested before and which
W1:44.3  use a form of practice which has been suggested before and which we  will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly difficult form for
W1:44.4  by with little or no sense of strain. The form of exercise we  will use today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the
W1:44.5  untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise we  will use today, but you may find that you will encounter strong
W1:44.5  the form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you  will encounter strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While
W1:44.6 If you can stand aside from the ego by ever so little, you  will have no difficulty in recognizing that its opposition and fears
W1:44.9  your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you  will probably find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly. Try,
W1:45.1  Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision  will show you.
W1:45.3 Where, then, are your real thoughts? Today we  will attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in your
W1:45.3  are your real thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We  will have to look for them in your mind because that is where they
W1:45.4 Our three five-minute practice periods for today  will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's
W1:45.4  the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We  will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny
W1:45.4  idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We  will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts
W1:45.4  and seek for the real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We  will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back, and we will not
W1:45.4  We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back, and we  will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would
W1:45.5 Instead, we  will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is
W1:45.5  try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible. We  will also try to understand that only what God would have us do is
W1:45.5  that only what God would have us do is what we want to do. And we  will also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would
W1:45.5  would have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that you  will succeed today. It is the Will of God.
W1:45.5  reason to feel confident that you will succeed today. It is the  Will of God.
W1:45.9  They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. They  will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were.
W1:45.10 Everything that you have thought since then  will change, but the foundation on which they rest is wholly
W1:45.11  and God the Son. For such is the place you are trying to reach. You  will probably be unable as yet to realize how high you are trying to
W1:46.13  however, to make more specific applications if they are needed. They  will be needed at any time during the day when you become aware of
W1:47.1  you the recognition of the right solution and the guarantee that it  will be accomplished?
W1:47.4 Today we  will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real
W1:47.6  the situation successfully. It is not by trusting yourself that you  will gain confidence. But the strength of God in you is successful in
W1:47.8  try to reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You  will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep
W1:48.2 Today's practice periods  will be very short, very simple, and very frequent. Merely repeat the
W1:49.3 We  will need at least four five-minute practice periods today and more
W1:49.3  four five-minute practice periods today and more if possible. We  will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your
W1:49.3  actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self. We  will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence,
W1:49.3  with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our  will with the Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It
W1:49.3  knowing that in doing so we are joining our will with the  Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It to you to be
W1:50.2 Do not put your faith in the worthless. It  will not sustain you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all
W1:50.2  in the worthless. It will not sustain you. Only the Love of God  will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every
W1:50.2  you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It  will lift you out of every trial and raise you high above all the
W1:50.2  dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It  will transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten,
W1:50.3 Put not your faith in illusions. They  will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you,
W1:R1.1 Beginning with today, we  will have a series of review periods. Each of them will cover five of
W1:R1.1  with today, we will have a series of review periods. Each of them  will cover five of the ideas already presented, starting with the
W1:R1.1  starting with the first and ending with the fiftieth. There  will be a few short comments after each of the ideas, which you
W1:R1.4  is emphasized particularly for reviews at your stage of learning. It  will be necessary, however, that you learn to require no special
W1:R1.4  no special settings in which to apply what you have learned. You  will need it most in situations which appear to be upsetting, rather
W1:R1.5  by avoiding them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself. You  will yet learn that peace is part of you and requires only that you
W1:R1.5  be there to embrace any situation in which you are. And finally you  will learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your
W1:R1.6 You  will note that for review purposes the ideas are not always given in
W1:52.3  my “enemies.” When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I  will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no past and
W1:52.3  who 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
W1:52.3  I see. There will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I  will look with love on all that I failed to see before.
W1:53.1 Today we  will review the following:
W1:53.4  this belief and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I  will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am
W1:53.6  images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my  will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods
W1:53.6  prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My  will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him.

W1:54.2  thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have power. They  will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. But
W1:54.2  effects. As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so  will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be

W1:55.3  attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts  will save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace
W1:55.4  of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I  will see a world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to
W1:56.2  But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts  will teach me what it is.
W1:56.3  I let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by truth, vision  will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the
W1:56.3  by truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I  will look upon the world and upon myself with charity and love.

W1:56.5  everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him  will yet look past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond
W1:57.5  instead of this. When I see the world as a place of freedom, I  will realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules
W1:57.5  laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I  will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will

W1:61.4 You  will want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is
W1:61.8  sure both to begin and end the day with a practice period. Thus you  will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about yourself,
W1:61.9  obviously necessary. This is the first of a number of giant steps we  will take in the next few weeks. Try today to begin to build a firm
W1:62.1 It is your forgiveness that  will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness
W1:62.3  Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness  will do for you? It will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and
W1:62.3  not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It  will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your
W1:62.3  remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It  will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the
W1:62.3  from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It  will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your
W1:62.4  idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It  will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be.
W1:62.4  help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. And it  will help those around you as well as those who seem to be far away
W1:62.7  or two to considering your function and the happiness and release it  will bring you.
W1:62.8 Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart  will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness that
W1:63.2  Accept no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its place or you  will forget your function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is
W1:63.3 Recognizing the importance of this function, we  will be happy to remember it very often today. We will begin the day
W1:63.3  this function, we will be happy to remember it very often today. We  will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the day with the
W1:63.3  with the thought of it in our awareness. And throughout the day, we  will repeat this as often as we can:
W1:63.5 If you can close your eyes, you  will probably find it easier to let related thoughts come to you in
W1:64.4  Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by God  will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by
W1:64.6 Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you  will make today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each
W1:64.6  make today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each one  will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can such a simple decision
W1:64.9  15 minutes to reflecting on this with closed eyes. Related thoughts  will come to help you if you remember the crucial importance of your
W1:64.10  and then to thinking about them and about nothing else. This  will be difficult at first particularly, since you are not proficient
W1:65.4  time for God, as well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you  will pursue. This is part of the long range disciplinary training
W1:65.8 After a while, interfering thoughts  will become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so
W1:65.11  trying to focus on its importance to you, the relief its acceptance  will bring you by resolving your conflicts once and for all, and the
W1:65.14  keep them open and look about you. It is what you see now that  will be totally changed when you accept today's idea completely.
W1:66.3 Today we  will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the
W1:66.3  meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your function. We  will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We will not
W1:66.3  We will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We  will not become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and
W1:66.3  in defining happiness and determining the means for achieving it. We  will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth. We
W1:66.3  We will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth. We  will merely be glad that we can find out what truth is.
W1:66.12  Yet the ego is the only alternative to the Holy Spirit's Voice. You  will listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to make this choice as
W1:66.16 It  will not take more than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these
W1:67.2 We  will make every effort today to reach this truth about you and to
W1:67.2  a moment, that it is the truth. In the longer practice period, we  will think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and
W1:67.2  your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We  will begin by repeating this truth about you and then spend a few
W1:67.6  other thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you  will succeed in going past that and through the interval of
W1:67.6  you recognize yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you  will do much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel
W1:67.7 It  will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for today as
W1:68.4 It is as sure that those who hold grievances  will redefine God in their own image as it is certain that God
W1:68.4  them as part of Him. It is as sure that those who hold grievances  will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will find
W1:68.4  grievances will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive  will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will
W1:68.4  will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances  will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive will
W1:68.4  will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive  will remember. Would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances
W1:68.5  go. That, however, is simply a question of motivation. Today we  will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed
W1:68.5  feel without them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there  will never be a problem in motivation ever again.
W1:68.6  whom you hold what you regard as major grievances. Some of these  will be quite easy to find. Then think of the seemingly minor
W1:68.6  you hold against those you like and even think you love. It  will quickly become apparent that there is no one against whom you do
W1:68.10 Love holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go, I  will know I am perfectly safe.
W1:69.5  which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance. We  will make this attempt today.
W1:69.7 If you are doing the exercises properly, you  will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead. Your
W1:69.7  call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself  will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord with His
W1:69.7  will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord with His  Will. You cannot fail because your will is His.
W1:69.7  light. You are in accord with His Will. You cannot fail because your  will is His.
W1:69.8  answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you, and you  will yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to
W1:69.8  in your mind. Try to remember that you are at last joining your  will to God's. Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you
W1:69.8  Then let the power of God work in you and through you, that His  Will and yours may be done.
W1:69.9 In the shorter practice periods, which you  will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of
W1:69.12 If I hold this grievance, the light of the world  will be hidden from me,
W1:70.5  was to ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing that God's  Will and ours are really the same in this.
W1:70.7  periods today, each of which should last some ten to 15 minutes. We  will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We will
W1:70.7  We will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We  will follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again
W1:70.12 Now we  will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your
W1:70.12  It is past the clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you  will have to go through the clouds before you can reach the light.
W1:70.13  think of me holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this  will be no idle fantasy.
W1:71.1  after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you  will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe it.
W1:71.4  any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it  will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue,
W1:71.4  that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search  will continue, for the illusion persists that, although this hope has
W1:71.4  grounds for hope in other places and in other things. Another person  will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success.
W1:71.4  things. Another person will yet serve better; another situation  will yet offer success.
W1:71.5  but do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you  will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in
W1:71.6  where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you  will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose
W1:71.6  to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you  will attempt to follow two plans for salvation which are
W1:71.7  The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation  will work. There can be no real conflict about this, because there is
W1:71.7  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 outcome.
W1:71.9  equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your salvation  will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to become
W1:71.9  the whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans  will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed or angry at the
W1:71.9  free yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's plan  will succeed. It will lead to release and joy.
W1:71.9  have led to depression and anger. But God's plan will succeed. It  will lead to release and joy.
W1:71.12  you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He  will answer you in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice.
W1:71.13  tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His,  will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances today, and
W1:71.14  is the opposite of God's plan for salvation. And only His plan  will work.
W1:72.9 We  will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will
W1:72.9 We will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We  will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down perception has been
W1:72.13 Then we  will wait in quiet for His answer.
W1:72.14  see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you  will be answered. Seek and you will find.
W1:72.14  is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you  will find.
W1:72.15  it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer  will be true because of Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your
W1:72.17 He  will answer. Be determined to hear.
W1:72.18 One or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour  will be enough for today since they will be somewhat longer than
W1:72.18  shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for today since they  will be somewhat longer than usual. These exercises begin with this:
W1:73.1 Today we are considering the  will you share with God. This is not the same as the ego's idle
W1:73.1  ego's idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The  will you share with God has all the power of creation in it. The
W1:73.3 Your  will is lost to you in this strange bartering, in which guilt is
W1:73.3  with each exchange. Can such a world have been created by the  will the Son of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster
W1:73.3  his Father? Did God create disaster for His Son? Creation is the  will of Both together. Would God create a world that kills Himself?
W1:73.4 Today we  will try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your
W1:73.4  try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your  will. The light is in it because it does not oppose the Will of God.
W1:73.4  with your will. The light is in it because it does not oppose the  Will of God. It is not Heaven, but the light of Heaven shines on it.
W1:73.5 Yet the light which shines upon this world reflects your  will, and so it must be in you that we will look for it. Your picture
W1:73.5  upon this world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we  will look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is
W1:73.5  on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your  will, and lets you look upon a world of light.
W1:73.7  is not happiness, and it is happiness you really want. Such is your  will in truth. And so salvation is your will as well. You want to
W1:73.7  really want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your  will as well. You want to succeed in what we are trying to do today.
W1:73.8 We  will succeed today if you remember that you will salvation for
W1:73.8 We will succeed today if you remember that you  will salvation for yourself. You will to accept God's plan because
W1:73.8  today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself. You  will to accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no will
W1:73.8  You will to accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no  will that can really oppose it, and you do not want to do so.
W1:73.9 Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your  will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against it.
W1:73.9 Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your will. Your  will is free, and nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we
W1:73.9  the exercises for today in happy confidence, certain that we  will find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your
W1:73.9  today in happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your  will to find and remember what it is your will to remember. No idle
W1:73.9  will find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your  will to remember. No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an
W1:73.9  us nor deceive us with an illusion of strength. Today let your  will be done. And end forever the insane belief that it is hell in
W1:73.10 We  will begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that
W1:73.10  plan for salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your  will. It is not the purpose of an alien power, thrust upon you
W1:73.11 You  will succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of
W1:73.11  release of the Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes. His  will is now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very day to
W1:73.12 After reminding yourself of this and determining to keep your  will clearly in mind, tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet
W1:73.13 I  will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's Will
W1:73.13 I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's  Will and mine.
W1:73.14 Then let your  will assert itself, joined with the power of God and united with your
W1:73.16 I  will there be light. Darkness is not my will.
W1:73.16 I will there be light. Darkness is not my  will.
W1:73.17  immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of any kind. This  will help you let your grievances go instead of cherishing them and
W1:74.1  toward which all our exercises are directed. God's is the only  will. When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your
W1:74.1  will. When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your  will is His. The belief that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has
W1:74.1  idea that you are torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the  Will of God, you have no goal but His.
W1:74.4 There is no  will but God's. I cannot be in conflict.
W1:74.6 I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My  will is God's My will and God's are one. God wills peace for His Son.
W1:74.6 I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My  will and God's are one. God wills peace for His Son.
W1:74.8 There is no  will but God's. These conflict thoughts are meaningless.
W1:74.10 There is no  will but God's. I share it with Him. My conflicts about _____ cannot
W1:74.11  but the difference is easily detected. If you are succeeding, you  will feel a deep sense of joy and an increased alertness rather than
W1:74.11  and enervation. Joy characterizes peace. By this experience  will you recognize that you have reached it.
W1:74.14 There is no  will but God's. I seek His peace today.
W1:75.3 Our exercises for today  will be happy ones in which we offer thanks for the passing of the
W1:75.3  darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we  will accept the new world as what we want to see. We will be given
W1:75.3  us. Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see. We  will be given what we desire. We will to see the light; the light has
W1:75.3  world as what we want to see. We will be given what we desire. We  will to see the light; the light has come.
W1:75.4 Our longer practice periods  will be devoted to looking at the world which our forgiveness shows
W1:75.9  never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He  will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He will be with
W1:75.9  Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He  will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true
W1:75.9  forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He  will show you what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have
W1:75.9  watch and wait. He will show you what true vision sees. It is His  Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will
W1:75.9  His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He  will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the world.
W1:75.10  to look upon the world He promised you. From this time forth you  will see differently. Today the light has come. And you will see the
W1:75.10  forth you will see differently. Today the light has come. And you  will see the world that has been promised you since time began, and
W1:75.11 The shorter practice periods, too,  will be joyful reminders of your release. Remind yourself every
W1:75.11  past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today. And what you see  will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today forever. Say,
W1:75.11  fail to see today. And what you see will be so welcome that you  will gladly extend today forever. Say, then:
W1:76.2 Today we  will be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you would forever
W1:76.2  is salvation. Look for it where it waits for you, and there it  will be found. Look nowhere else, for it is nowhere else.
W1:76.3  or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle  will ward off death. You really think you are alone unless another
W1:76.4  of medicine, of economics, and of health. Protect the body, and you  will be saved.
W1:76.5  by the mind that hurts itself. The body suffers that the mind  will fail to see it is the victim of itself. The body's suffering is
W1:76.6  it applies to everything that you have made in opposition to His  Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is meant to save does not
W1:76.6  it is meant to save does not exist. Only what it is meant to hide  will save you.
W1:76.7 The laws of God can never be replaced. We  will devote today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no longer a
W1:76.8 We  will begin the longer practice period today with a short review of
W1:76.10  silent readiness to hear the Voice that speaks the truth to you. You  will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the laws of
W1:76.11  upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He  will tell you more. About the love your Father has for you. About the
W1:76.12 Let us today open God's channels to Him and let His  Will extend through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased.
W1:76.12  through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice  will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His
W1:76.12  as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We  will repeat today's idea until we have listened and understood there
W1:76.12  we have listened and understood there are no laws but God's. Then we  will tell ourselves as a dedication with which the practice period
W1:76.14 We  will repeat this dedication as often as possible today—at least
W1:77.1 You are entitled to miracles because of what you are. You  will receive miracles because of what God is. And you will offer
W1:77.1  you are. You will receive miracles because of what God is. And you  will offer miracles because you are one with God. Again, how simple
W1:77.1  It is merely a statement of your true Identity. It is this that we  will celebrate today.
W1:77.3 Today we  will claim the miracles which are your right since they belong to
W1:77.3  We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we  will also make sure that we will not content ourselves with less.
W1:77.3  to us in truth. Today, however, we will also make sure that we  will not content ourselves with less.
W1:77.5  You cannot fail to be assured in this. You are but asking that the  Will of God be done. In doing this, you do not really ask for
W1:77.6  at last. The answer is a simple statement of a simple fact. You  will receive the assurance that you seek.
W1:77.7 Our shorter practice periods  will be frequent and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple
W1:77.7 Our shorter practice periods will be frequent and  will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself
W1:77.9  them whenever a situation arises in which they are called for. You  will recognize these situations; you are not relying on yourself to
W1:77.11 I  will not trade miracles for grievances. I want only what belongs to
W1:78.1  it would conceal. And as you raise it up before your eyes, you  will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it waits for you
W1:78.2  we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. We  will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it
W1:78.2  the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We  will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently
W1:78.3 He waits for you behind your grievances, and as you lay them down, he  will appear in shining light where each one stood before. For every
W1:78.4 Today we  will attempt to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to
W1:78.4 Today we will attempt to see God's Son. We  will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon our
W1:78.4  to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we  will not look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the world
W1:78.5 We  will select one person you have used as target for your grievances
W1:78.6  know the one to choose; his name has crossed your mind already. He  will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to us. Through
W1:78.6  seeing him behind the grievances that we have held against him, you  will learn that what lay hidden while you saw him not is there in
W1:78.7 Our longer practice periods today  will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our mind,
W1:78.7 Our longer practice periods today will see him in this role. We  will attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him.
W1:78.7  attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him. We  will review his faults, the difficulties you have had with him, the
W1:78.7  his neglect, and all the little and the larger hurts he gave. We  will regard his body with its flaws and better points as well, and we
W1:78.7  regard his body with its flaws and better points as well, and we  will think of his mistakes and even of his “sins.”
W1:78.10  you, seeing no separation in God's Son. And what you see through Him  will free you both.
W1:78.12 We  will remember this throughout the day and take the role assigned to
W1:79.1  you do not know what it is. Even if it is really solved already, you  will still have the problem because you cannot recognize that it has
W1:79.7 In our longer practice periods today, we  will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. We will
W1:79.7  we will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. We  will not assume that we already know. We will try to free our minds
W1:79.7  is the answer to it. We will not assume that we already know. We  will try to free our minds of all the many different kinds of
W1:79.7  all the many different kinds of problems that we think we have. We  will try to realize that we have only one problem, which we have
W1:79.7  that we have only one problem, which we have failed to recognize. We  will ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we

W1:79.7  We will be told. Then we will ask for the solution to it. And we  will be told.
W1:79.8 Our exercises for today  will be successful to the extent to which we do not insist on
W1:79.8  extent to which we do not insist on defining the problem. Perhaps we  will not succeed in letting all our preconceived notions go, but that
W1:79.9 The shorter practice periods for today  will not be set by time but by need. You will see many problems
W1:79.9  practice periods for today will not be set by time but by need. You  will see many problems today, each one calling for an answer. Our
W1:79.9  see many problems today, each one calling for an answer. Our efforts  will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one problem

W1:79.12  your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You will be heard and you  will be answered.
W1:80.1 If you are willing to recognize your problems, you  will recognize that you have no problems. Your one central problem
W1:80.3  you do not forget that all problems are the same. Their many forms  will not deceive you while you remember this. One problem—one
W1:80.4 In our longer practice periods today, we  will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and the
W1:R2.1 We are now ready for another review. We  will begin where our last review left off and cover two ideas each
W1:R2.1  left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier part of each day  will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day
W1:R2.1  one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We  will have one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in
W1:R2.2 The longer practice periods  will follow this general form: take about 15 minutes for each of
W1:R2.3 There is a message waiting for you. Be confident that you  will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you and that you want
W1:R2.3  them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your  will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you
W1:R2.5  and a more specific form when needed. Some specific forms  will be included in the comments. These, however, are merely
W1:81.4  the light of the world shine through this appearance. This shadow  will vanish before the light.
W1:81.5  the light of the world. It is through accepting my function that I  will see the light in me. And in this light will my function stand
W1:81.5  my function that I will see the light in me. And in this light  will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my
W1:81.5  what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I  will trust that in the light I will see it as it is.
W1:81.5  not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I will trust that in the light I  will see it as it is.
W1:81.7  what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my function from my  will. I would not use this for an alien purpose.
W1:82.1 We  will review these ideas today:
W1:82.5  my function by forgetting. And unless I fulfill my function, I  will not experience the joy that God intends for me.
W1:84.2  I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality today. I  will worship no idols nor raise my own self-concepts to replace my
W1:84.7 This is no justification for denying my Self. I  will not use this to attack love. Let this not tempt me to attack
W1:85.1 Today's review  will cover these ideas:
W1:85.2  to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside. I want to see, and this  will be the means by which I will succeed.
W1:85.2  aside. I want to see, and this will be the means by which I  will succeed.
W1:85.4 Let me not use this as a block to sight. The light of the world  will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I want to see.
W1:85.5 [70] My salvation comes from me. Today I  will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source
W1:85.5  It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I  will not look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then
W1:85.5  It is not found outside and then brought in. But from within me it  will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light
W1:85.5  in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see  will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself.
W1:85.7 Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation. I  will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my
W1:86.2 [71] Only God's plan for salvation  will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about for
W1:86.2  I was mistaken about where it is. I was mistaken about what it is. I  will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation
W1:86.2  I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation  will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail.
W1:86.2  no more idle seeking. Only 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 no exception in
W1:86.5  grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan for salvation  will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding grievances, I
W1:86.5  prove that God's plan for salvation will not work. Yet only His plan  will work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only
W1:86.7  as I look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this, I  will not see the grounds for my salvation. This calls for
W1:87.1 Our review today  will cover these ideas:
W1:87.2 [73] I  will there be light. I will use the power of my will today. It is
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
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, fearful of
W1:87.2  there be light. I will use the power of my will today. It is not my  will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of
W1:87.2  afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I  will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it
W1:87.2  shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I  will look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the
W1:87.2  it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I  will experience the peace of true perception.
W1:87.4 This cannot hide the light I  will to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light
W1:87.4  to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this  will look different.
W1:87.5 [74] There is no  will but God's. I am safe today because there is no will but God's.
W1:87.5  There is no will but God's. I am safe today because there is no  will but God's. I can become afraid only when I believe that there is
W1:87.5  God's. I can become afraid only when I believe that there is another  will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to
W1:87.5  attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I  will recognize that all this has not occurred. I am safe because
W1:87.5  that all this has not occurred. I am safe because there is no  will but God's.
W1:87.7 Let me perceive this in accordance with the  Will of God. It is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as
W1:87.7  me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God. It is God's  Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of
W1:87.7  you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of God's  Will for me, however I may see it.
W1:88.1 Today we  will review these ideas:
W1:89.5  Let miracles replace all grievances. By this idea do I unite my  will with the Holy Spirit's and perceive them as one. By this idea do
W1:90.1 For this review we  will use these ideas:
W1:90.4  me which I would have resolved. The miracle behind this grievance  will resolve it for me. The answer to this problem is the miracle
W1:90.5  problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit  will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will understand it is
W1:90.5  cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I  will let Him. And I will understand it is impossible that I could
W1:90.5  by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I  will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which
W1:90.6 These forms of the idea  will be useful for specific applications:
W1:90.7  be resolved. The answer to this problem is already given me if I  will accept it. Time cannot separate this problem from its
W1:91.1  to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You  will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.
W1:91.1  of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the light; you  will not see them in the dark.
W1:91.4  realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we  will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this strength.
W1:91.4  strength in you which makes all miracles within your easy reach, you  will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap
W1:91.4  reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides  will leap into awareness as you feel the strength in you.
W1:91.5  goes to what you want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. Your  will remains your teacher, and your will has all the strength to do
W1:91.5  your mind accordingly. Your will remains your teacher, and your  will has all the strength to do what it desires. You can escape the
W1:91.12  faith. Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You  will become accustomed to keeping faith with the more worthy in you
W1:91.13  strength of God and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength  will come. It is through Their strong support that you will feel the
W1:91.13  your strength will come. It is through Their strong support that you  will feel the strength in you. They are united with you in this
W1:91.13  you share a purpose like Their own. Theirs is the light in which you  will see miracles because Their strength is yours. Their strength
W1:92.6 Truth is a savior and can only  will for happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to
W1:92.6  is shared that it may bring to all the miracle in which they  will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love.
W1:92.9 The strength in you  will offer you the light and guide your seeing, so you do not dwell
W1:92.10  this meeting. Let yourself be brought unto your Self. Its strength  will be the light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave,
W1:92.10  is 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
W1:92.11  and evening we will practice thus. After the morning meeting, we  will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we will
W1:92.11  we will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we  will meet again in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can
W1:93.3  thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God's  Will. These weird beliefs He does not share with you. This is enough
W1:93.4  and peace abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the  Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You think
W1:93.5  power can this self you made possess when it would contradict the  Will of God?
W1:93.7  and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and  will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace
W1:93.8  if done for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we  will begin by stating the truth about our creation:
W1:94.2  strong in the sinlessness in which you were created and in which you  will remain throughout eternity.
W1:94.3 Today we  will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the
W1:94.6  in silent expectancy for the truth. God has Himself promised that it  will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are asking now. You
W1:94.11 Make every effort to do the hourly exercises today. Each one you do  will be a giant stride toward your release and a milestone in
W1:95.3 We  will attempt today to be aware of only what can hear and see and what
W1:95.3  aware of only what can hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We  will again direct our exercises towards reaching your One Self, which
W1:95.7 We  will therefore keep to the five minutes an hour practice periods for
W1:95.7  to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour  will be particularly helpful since it imposes firmer structure. Do
W1:95.10 This tolerance for weakness  will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our
W1:95.12 This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we  will affirm this truth again and try to reach the place in you in
W1:95.17  One Self, in perfect harmony with all there is and all that there  will be. You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your
W1:95.17  with your brothers in this Self, united with your Father in His  Will.
W1:95.19  to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you  will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be
W1:96.1  solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you  will never be compatible. But one exists.
W1:96.2  be accepted if you would be saved. Until you have accepted this, you  will attempt endless lists of goals you cannot reach; a senseless
W1:96.2  one as futile as the one before and failing as the next one surely  will.
W1:96.9 We  will attempt today to find this thought, whose presence in your mind
W1:96.9  speaks to you from your One Self. Our hourly five minute practicing  will be a search for Him within your mind. Salvation comes from this
W1:96.10  and what your mind can do, restored to it and free to serve its  will.
W1:96.15 If you succeed, the thoughts that come to you  will tell you you are saved and that your mind has found the function
W1:96.15  your mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your Self  will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will
W1:96.15  Self will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it  will again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all things created
W1:96.15  the Spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind  will bless all things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have
W1:96.16  while. Be not dismayed by this. The joy your Self experiences it  will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every
W1:96.16  by this. The joy your Self experiences it will save for you, and it  will yet be yours in full awareness. Every time you spend five
W1:96.17  growing store. And all of it is given everyone who asks for it and  will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give
W1:97.1  the truth. Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it  will bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No
W1:97.4  and count on Him Who promised to lay timelessness beside them. He  will offer all His strength to every little effort which you make.
W1:97.6 The Holy Spirit  will be glad to take five minutes of each hour from your hands and
W1:97.6  around this aching world, where pain and misery appear to rule. He  will not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gift
W1:97.6  and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one open mind that  will accept the healing gift they bring, and He will lay them
W1:97.6  one open mind that will accept the healing gift they bring, and He  will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they will
W1:97.6  gift they bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they  will be welcome. And they will increase in healing power each time
W1:97.6  He will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they  will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his
W1:97.7 Thus  will your gift to Him be multiplied a thousand-fold and tens of
W1:97.7  and tens of thousands more. And when it is returned to you, it  will surpass in might the little gift you gave as much as does the
W1:97.7  tiny gleam a firefly makes an uncertain moment, and goes out. Yet  will the steady brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of
W1:97.7  brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of darkness, nor  will you be able to forget the way again.
W1:97.10 Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit  will accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its power,
W1:97.11 Offer each practice period today gladly to Him. And He  will speak to you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him
W1:98.1  on but one side today. We side with truth and let illusions go. We  will not vacillate between the two but take a firm position with the
W1:98.1  ourselves to truth today and to salvation as God planned it be. We  will not argue it is something else; we will not seek for it where it
W1:98.1  as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something else; we  will not seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it
W1:98.3  threats without reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they  will do what it is given them to do. They do not doubt their own
W1:98.3  They do not doubt their own ability because they know their function  will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. They took
W1:98.3  in the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we  will take today that we may share their certainty and thus increase
W1:98.4 They  will be with us—all who took the stand we take today will gladly
W1:98.4 They will be with us—all who took the stand we take today  will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain they made.
W1:98.4  they learned and every gain they made. Those still uncertain too  will join with us and, borrowing our certainty, will make it stronger
W1:98.4  still uncertain too will join with us and, borrowing our certainty,  will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the
W1:98.4  certainty, will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn  will hear the call we heard and answer it, when they have come to
W1:98.7 Each hour today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He  will give the words you use in practicing today's idea the deep
W1:98.7  idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words  will join with yours and make each repetition of today's idea a total
W1:98.8 His confidence in you  will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go beyond
W1:98.8  in you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you  will go beyond their sound to what they really mean. Today you
W1:98.9 I  will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
W1:98.10 In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He  will accept your words and give them back to you all bright with
W1:98.10  you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady they  will light the world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance
W1:98.11 Give Him the words, and He  will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your special
W1:98.11 Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He  will enable you to understand your special function. He will open up
W1:98.11  the rest. He will enable you to understand your special function. He  will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His
W1:98.11  function. He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust  will be His gifts, His answer to your words. He will respond with all
W1:98.11  and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer to your words. He  will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you
W1:98.11  His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true. And you  will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function that you have
W1:98.11  Who knows the function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He  will be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging
W1:98.12  time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you  will spend again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the
W1:98.13  the part which He would have you take and help you fill, and He  will make you sure you want this choice, which He has made with you
W1:99.1  that needs corrective change, something apart or different from the  Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the thought of the impossible
W1:99.5  thing must still be true—God still is Love, and this is not His  Will.
W1:99.8  is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is not His  Will.
W1:99.9 You who  will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for today.
W1:99.9  lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His  Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for you. Then let
W1:99.9  places of your mind which thought the thoughts that never were His  Will.
W1:99.10  make them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the light, and you  will look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you. Open your
W1:99.11  spots and shine through them to join them to the rest. It is God's  Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one
W1:99.11  to the rest. It is God's Will your mind be one with His. It is God's  Will that He has but one Son. It is God's Will that His one Son is
W1:99.11  one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is God's  Will that His one Son is you.
W1:99.17  is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is not His  Will.
W1:100.2 God's  Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go
W1:100.2  you is 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
W1:100.2  to let His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. They  will see their function in your shining face and hear God calling to
W1:100.4  They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for all who  will accept their Father's gifts as theirs.
W1:100.5 We  will not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take
W1:100.6 Today we  will attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you are sad,
W1:100.7  who looks on you and sees His message in your happy face. We  will prepare ourselves for this today in our five minute practice
W1:100.7  periods by feeling happiness arise in us according to our Father's  Will and ours.
W1:100.9  us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's  Will for us. It is your function that you find it here and that you
W1:100.10 He  will be there. And you can reach Him now. What could you rather look
W1:100.10  keep you from success when He Who calls to you is God Himself? He  will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His messenger
W1:101.1 Today we  will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key idea in
W1:101.2  and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them and it  will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some form
W1:101.2  they owe to God. They would escape Him in their fear. And yet He  will pursue, and they cannot escape.
W1:101.3  never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, for it  will kill but slowly, taking everything away before it grants the
W1:101.5  teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin  will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open
W1:101.6  as we can today because it is the basis for today's idea. God's  Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and
W1:101.7 Fear not the  Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it will set you free
W1:101.7 Fear not the Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it  will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in
W1:101.8 God's  Will for me is perfect happiness. There is no sin; it has no
W1:101.9  periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these thoughts  will introduce into your mind. Give these five minutes gladly to
W1:101.11 God's  Will for me is perfect happiness. This is the truth because there
W1:102.2  You have been slave to nothing. Be you free today to join the happy  Will of God.
W1:102.3 For several days we  will continue to devote our longer practice periods to exercises
W1:102.3  periods to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness God's  Will has placed in you. Here is your home, and here your safety is.
W1:102.4 Begin the longer practice periods today with this acceptance of God's  Will for you:
W1:102.5 I share God's  Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now.
W1:102.6  to find it when you learn it is your choice and that you share God's  Will.
W1:102.7  as your one function. And be sure that you are joining with God's  Will in doing this.
W1:103.3 This basic error we  will try again to bring to truth today and teach ourselves:
W1:103.6  what you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it  will be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the
W1:104.2  His are the gifts which we inherited before time was and which  will still be ours when time has passed into eternity.
W1:104.3  we need not wait to have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we  will to have them now and know in choosing them in place of what we
W1:104.3  and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite our  will with what God wills and recognize the same as being one.
W1:104.8 So do we clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His  Will is done already and that joy and peace belong to us as His
W1:104.8  already and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We  will not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we come
W1:104.8  times we come to seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder  will we bring to mind as often as we can:
W1:105.1 God's peace and joy are yours. Today we  will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will try to
W1:105.1  yours. Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we  will try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them. They
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and joy, and you  will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will
W1:105.4  and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts  will never lessen when they are given away. They but increase
W1:105.6  joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines completion. You  will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as
W1:105.6  No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and He  will thank you for your gift to Him.
W1:105.7 Today our practice periods  will start a little differently. Begin today by thinking of those
W1:106.1 If you  will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call;
W1:106.1  aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you  will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you
W1:106.1  its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really want; if you  will listen with an open mind, which has not told you what salvation
W1:106.1  an open mind, which has not told you what salvation is; then you  will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in
W1:106.4  dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They  will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream instead and last
W1:106.6  to speak to all the multitudes who wait to hear the Word that He  will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and will today
W1:106.6  that He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and  will today be given unto you. And you will learn your function from
W1:106.6  for salvation. It is here and will today be given unto you. And you  will learn your function from the One Who chose it in your Father's
W1:106.7 Listen today, and you  will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world through
W1:106.7 Listen today, and you will hear a Voice Which  will resound throughout the world through you. The Bringer of all
W1:106.7  it ends; when everything is yours, and everything is given away, it  will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been learned.
W1:106.9 I  will be still and listen to the truth. What does it mean to give
W1:106.10  is one whose answer has been waiting long to be received by you. It  will begin the ministry for which you came and which will free the
W1:106.10  by you. It will begin the ministry for which you came and which  will free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the
W1:106.11  in listening, a thousand minds are opened to the truth. And they  will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you will
W1:106.11  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 truth be
W1:107.3  not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind  will rest in when the truth has come.
W1:107.5  the doubts that the appearances the world presents engender. They  will merely blow away when truth corrects the errors in your mind.
W1:107.8 Today belongs to truth. Give truth its due, and it  will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your
W1:107.11 Truth  will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could be
W1:107.12 Truth  will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who is my
W1:107.12 Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I  will rest in Him Who is my Self.
W1:107.13 Then let Him lead you gently to the truth which  will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you
W1:107.13  will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you  will return to the familiar world reluctantly.
W1:107.14 And yet you  will be glad to look again upon this world. For you will bring with
W1:107.14 And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world. For you  will bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that
W1:107.14  you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you  will carry to the world. They will increase with every gift you give
W1:107.14  which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world. They  will increase with every gift you give of five small minutes, and the
W1:107.14  give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the world  will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind.
W1:107.15  for today. Each time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth  will correct all errors in my mind,” you speak for all the world and
W1:108.1  thoughts into one concept which is wholly true? Even that one  will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to
W1:108.1  true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it  will appear instead, to take its place. And now we are at peace
W1:108.5 One Thought, completely unified,  will serve to unify all thought. This is the same as saying one
W1:108.5  to unify all thought. This is the same as saying one correction  will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one brother wholly
W1:108.6  to other areas of doubt and double vision. And from there it  will extend and finally arrive at the one thought Which underlies
W1:108.7 Today we practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We  will use this simple lesson in the obvious because it has results we
W1:108.7  it has results we cannot miss. To give is to receive. Today we  will attempt to offer peace to everyone and see how quickly peace
W1:108.9 To give and to receive are one in truth. I  will receive what I am giving now.
W1:108.12  then pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave, and it  will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will find
W1:108.12  and it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You  will find you have exact return, for this is what you asked. It might
W1:108.13 Our very simple lesson for today  will teach you much. Effect and cause will be far better understood
W1:108.13  very simple lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and cause  will be far better understood from this time on, and we will make
W1:108.13  and cause will be far better understood from this time on, and we  will make much faster progress now. Think of the exercises for today
W1:109.1  seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that  will answer our asking with what we request.
W1:109.2 “I rest in God.” This thought  will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the
W1:109.2  of suffering for all the world and everyone who ever came and yet  will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son
W1:109.3 “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed this thought  will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past
W1:109.3  There is no problem which it cannot solve. And no appearance but  will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God.
W1:109.4  intrude on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they  will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear
W1:109.4  and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They  will not hear another voice but yours because you gave your voice to
W1:109.6  be still and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams  will come now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from
W1:109.8  you rest today the world is nearer waking. And the time when rest  will be the only thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired
W1:109.8  worn and tired minds, too weary now to go their way alone. And they  will hear the bird begin to sing and see the stream begin to flow
W1:109.9  from your rest, to draw them to their rest along with you. You  will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing
W1:110.1 We  will repeat today's idea from time to time. For this one thought
W1:110.2  complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect vision which  will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or
W1:110.10 Seek Him today, and find Him. He  will be your savior from all idols you have made. For when you find
W1:110.10  your savior from all idols you have made. For when you find Him you  will understand how worthless are your idols and how false the images
W1:110.11 We  will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving
W1:110.11  who meet with us today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we  will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the
W1:R3.1 Our third review begins today. We  will review two of the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed
W1:R3.1  of the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We  will observe a special format for these practice periods, which you
W1:R3.2 Learning  will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is
W1:R3.3 But learning  will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are
W1:R3.6  your mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith that it  will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who
W1:R3.6  mind? Have faith in these reviews, the means the Holy Spirit uses  will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to your assistance.
W1:R3.6  means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind  will come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and then
W1:R3.7  them to your mind in that same trust and confidence and faith. It  will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's chosen means for your
W1:R3.13 Each day's review assignment  will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each hour and
W1:R3.13  well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas  will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with
W1:112.3 [94] I am as God created me. I  will remain forever as I was, Created by the Changeless like Himself.
W1:114.3 [98] I  will accept my part in God's plan for salvation. What can my
W1:114.3  but to accept the Word of God, Who has created me, for what I am and  will forever be?
W1:114.7 I  will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
W1:116.2 [101] God's  Will for me is perfect happiness. God's Will is perfect happiness
W1:116.2 [101] God's Will for me is perfect happiness. God's  Will is perfect happiness for me. And I can suffer but from the
W1:116.2  for me. And I can suffer but from the belief there is another  will apart from His.
W1:116.3 [102] I share God's  Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His
W1:116.3 [102] I share God's Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's  Will for me, His Son. What He has given me is all I want. What He has
W1:116.5 God's  Will for me is perfect happiness.
W1:116.7 I share God's  Will for happiness for me.
W1:118.2 [105] God's peace and joy are mine. Today I  will accept God's peace and joy in glad exchange for all the
W1:119.2 [107] Truth  will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I think I
W1:119.3 [108] To give and to receive are one in truth. I  will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to accept the
W1:119.5 Truth  will correct all errors in my mind.
W1:121.7  that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach salvation, you  will learn.
W1:121.8 Yet all your teaching and your learning  will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the
W1:121.8  today to take the key to happiness and use it on your own behalf. We  will devote ten minutes in the morning and at night another ten to
W1:121.9  mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we  will try to learn today that they are one through practicing
W1:121.9  consider as a friend. And as you learn to see them both as one, we  will extend the lesson to yourself and see that their escape included
W1:121.10  the form your anger takes. You probably have chosen him already. He  will do.
W1:121.14 Forgiveness is the key to happiness. I  will awaken from the dream that I am mortal, fallible, and full of
W1:122.4  brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that  will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to
W1:122.5 Here is the answer! Seek for it no more. You  will not find another one instead. God's plan for your salvation
W1:122.6  waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give, you  will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son
W1:122.8  truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you  will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness
W1:122.9  we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that this  will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we
W1:122.9  today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation  will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it today, aware
W1:122.9  this will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly  will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands,
W1:122.11  answered, and what your acceptance of the answer brings. Today it  will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and the joy
W1:122.12 Before the light you  will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you
W1:122.12 Before the light you will receive today the world  will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise
W1:122.12  will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you  will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Now we
W1:123.2 A day devoted now to gratitude  will add the benefit of some insight into the real extent of all the
W1:123.3 Give thanks that He has not abandoned you and that His Love forever  will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as
W1:123.5  In thanking Him the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message  will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks,
W1:123.6  back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He  will bless your gifts by sharing them with you, and so they grow in
W1:123.7  thanks and offer yours to Him for 15 minutes twice today. And you  will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are
W1:123.7  He thanks as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given Him  will be returned to you in terms of years for every second, power to
W1:123.8 Receive His thanks, and you  will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and
W1:124.1 Today we  will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe,
W1:124.2  as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us  will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet
W1:124.3  created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave. Today we  will not doubt His Love for us nor question His protection and His
W1:124.8  we give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. We  will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will
W1:124.8  We will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He  will not fail. Abide with Him this half an hour. He will do the rest.
W1:124.8  certain He will not fail. Abide with Him this half an hour. He  will do the rest.
W1:124.9 Your benefit  will not be less if you believe that nothing happens. You may not be
W1:124.9  not be ready to accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it  will come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns
W1:124.9  the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor  will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your
W1:124.9  it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind. This half an hour  will be framed in gold, with every minute like a diamond set around
W1:124.9  every minute like a diamond set around the mirror that this exercise  will offer you. And you will see Christ's face upon it, in reflection
W1:124.9  set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you  will see Christ's face upon it, in reflection of your own.
W1:124.10 Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you  will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour
W1:124.10  see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour  will hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you
W1:124.10  will hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you  will find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You will
W1:124.10  you will find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You  will remember then the thought to which you gave this half an hour,
W1:124.11 Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you  will look into this glass and understand the sinless light you see
W1:124.11  this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return  will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you
W1:124.11  yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you  will understand and comprehend and see.
W1:125.2 This world  will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's plan
W1:125.2  and at his side to lead him surely to his Father's house by his own  will, forever free as God's. He is not led by force, but only love.
W1:125.3 In stillness we  will hear God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts,
W1:125.3  our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. We  will not judge ourselves today, for what we are cannot be judged. We
W1:125.3  the world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we  will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of God.
W1:125.4  mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and  will never leave.
W1:125.5  of Him regardless of his dreams, regardless of his madness that his  will is not his own.
W1:125.8  Word He 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
W1:125.9 Only be quiet. You  will need no rule but this to let your practicing today lift you
W1:125.9  free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You  will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His
W1:125.9  eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the  Will of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with

W1:126.1  of the world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this course  will bring about. If you believed this statement, there would be no
W1:126.8  to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You  will need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the
W1:126.9  takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the thought that  will release your mind from every bar to what forgiveness means and
W1:126.10  Be glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you  will understand the words He speaks and recognize He speaks your
W1:126.12  The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me now. And I  will trust in Him.
W1:126.13  mind to His correction and His Love. And what you hear of Him you  will believe, for what He gives will be received by you.
W1:126.13  Love. And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives  will be received by you.
W1:127.8 Call to your Father, certain that His Voice  will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place
W1:127.8  His 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
W1:127.8  belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He  will shine through your idle thoughts today and help you understand
W1:127.8  and help you understand the truth of love. In loving gentleness, He  will abide with you as you allow His Voice to teach love's meaning to
W1:127.8  Voice to teach love's meaning to your clean and open mind. And He  will bless the lesson with His Love.
W1:127.10 The world in infancy is newly born. And we  will watch it grow in strength and health to shed its blessing upon
W1:127.11 We  will remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part
W1:128.2  you value here is but a chain that binds you to the world, and it  will serve no other end but this. For everything must serve the
W1:128.6  chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home. It  will be grateful to be free a while. It knows where it belongs. But
W1:128.6  free a while. It knows where it belongs. But free its wings, and it  will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. Let it rest
W1:128.7  three times today. And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you  will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it
W1:128.7  as when you looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the world  will shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape its
W1:128.9 This  will not tempt me to delay myself. The world I see has nothing that I
W1:129.1  for unless you see that there is something else to hope for, you  will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the world
W1:129.2  time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you  will concede there is no loss in letting go all thought of value
W1:129.3  all things you really want and know they have no ending, and they  will remain exactly as you want them throughout time?
W1:129.4 Yet even they  will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go
W1:129.5  sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them not, and they  will disappear. Esteem them, and they will seem real to you.
W1:129.5  Value them not, and they will disappear. Esteem them, and they  will seem real to you.
W1:130.5 Today we  will not seek for them nor waste this day in seeking not what cannot
W1:130.6 Today we  will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world you see
W1:130.7  ends all compromise and doubt and go beyond them all as one. We  will not make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to
W1:130.10 God  will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who
W1:130.10  be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who  will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor will you fail to
W1:130.10  Power Who will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor  will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and
W1:130.10  to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. You  will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is perception,
W1:130.10  in tangible perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you  will look upon. For though it is perception, it is not the kind of
W1:130.10  kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen before. And you  will know God's strength upheld as you made this choice.
W1:130.12  and you have damned your eyes and cursed your sight, and what you  will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains
W1:131.4 Yet searching is inevitable here. For this you came, and you  will surely do the thing you came for. But the world cannot dictate
W1:131.6  Creator nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You  will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet
W1:131.6  unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this  will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It will
W1:131.6  this will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It  will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you
W1:131.6  has been taken from you. It will go because you do not want it. You  will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you
W1:131.7  cannot be, if it is 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,
W1:131.9  Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal  Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to
W1:131.9  him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an alien  will upon God's single purpose. He is here because He wills to be,
W1:131.10 Today we  will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God
W1:131.10  place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the  Will of God? He thus denies himself and contradicts what has no
W1:131.11  asks to reach the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We  will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and we will
W1:131.11  We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and we  will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish
W1:131.16  understand all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps,  will make you pause before you realize the world you see before you
W1:131.17  of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where you  will find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of
W1:132.2  changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet  will think.
W1:132.7  go as far as he can let himself be led along the road to truth. He  will return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and
W1:132.8  there is no world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness  will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand
W1:132.8  be the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some  will find it in this course and in the exercises that we do today.
W1:132.14  a shadow briefly laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you  will look upon a world released.
W1:132.19  near by as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. But you  will sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as
W1:133.1  already learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we  will do today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas
W1:133.1  to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do today. We  will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell instead
W1:133.6  the tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing, you  will make the better choice.
W1:133.7 First, if you choose a thing that  will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value
W1:133.8 Next, if you choose to take a thing away from someone else, you  will have nothing left. This is because when you deny his right to
W1:133.8  his right to everything, you have denied your own. You therefore  will not recognize the things you really have, denying they are
W1:133.10  for them. Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived  will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will believe
W1:133.10  is deceived will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He  will believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And though he
W1:133.14  come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We  will attempt to reach this state today, with self-deception laid
W1:133.15 Our two extended practice periods of 15 minutes  will begin with this:
W1:133.16 I  will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek,
W1:133.18 I  will not value what is valueless, for what is valuable belongs to me.
W1:134.10 Thus  will you see alternatives for choice in terms which render choosing
W1:134.14  the footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who  will follow us to the reality we share with them.
W1:134.17 Then choose one brother as He  will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as one by one they cross your
W1:134.18  If you have been practicing thus far in willingness and honesty, you  will begin to sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your
W1:134.19 Forgiveness should be practiced through the day, for there  will be so many times when you forget its meaning and attack
W1:134.20  forgiveness as it is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? I  will not lay this chain upon myself.
W1:135.8  is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It  will be strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning
W1:135.10  and the lacks from which you think the body must be saved. You  will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you
W1:135.10  will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you  will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception
W1:135.11 These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body  will respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced
W1:135.14  capacity is health assured. For everything the mind employs for this  will function flawlessly and with the strength that has been given it
W1:135.16  setting up control of future happenings. It does not think that it  will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions. Time becomes
W1:135.17  for its future goals. Its past experience directs its choice of what  will happen. And it does not see that here and now is everything it
W1:135.21  a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. And it  will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to
W1:135.21  to the ancient plan begun when time was born. Your followers  will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the
W1:135.21  was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and it  will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly
W1:135.21  will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly  will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed
W1:135.22 We  will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is
W1:135.22  present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We  will be sure that everything we need is given us for our
W1:135.22  us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it  will be done but realize that our defenselessness is all that is
W1:135.23  thought which blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we  will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize.
W1:135.24 If I defend myself, I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I  will be strong, and I will learn what my defenses hide.
W1:135.24  I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I will be strong, and I  will learn what my defenses hide.
W1:135.25 Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you  will be told of them. They may not be the plans you thought were
W1:135.26 All your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you  will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you
W1:135.26  will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you  will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from
W1:135.27 He has remembered you. Today we  will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you
W1:135.28  comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the world  will take this giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with you.
W1:135.29 This is my Eastertime. And I would keep it holy. I  will not defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense
W1:136.10  for the salvation of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His  Will. His Son is dust, the Father incomplete, and chaos sits in
W1:136.12 God knows not of your plans to change His  Will. The universe remains unheeding of the laws by which you thought
W1:136.15  cease to play with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you  will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim
W1:136.15  practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim today. And we  will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to us
W1:136.16 And truth  will come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits for
W1:136.17 Sickness is a defense against the truth. I  will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly healed
W1:136.18 Healing  will flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to take the
W1:136.18  and truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There  will be no dark corners sickness can conceal and keep defended from
W1:136.18  can conceal and keep defended from the light of truth. There  will be no dim figures from your dreams nor their obscure and
W1:136.18  with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in your mind. It  will be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize
W1:136.19  because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. And you  will recognize you practiced well by this—the body should not feel
W1:136.19  the body should not feel at all. If you have been successful, there  will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure.
W1:136.20  you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the strength the body has  will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. The body's
W1:136.21  you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which  will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give instant remedy
W1:137.4  is merely to accept what always was the simple truth and always  will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to
W1:137.5  but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real world  will arise to take the place of what has never been at all, healing
W1:137.7 Just as forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world  will occupy the place of what you made, so healing must replace the
W1:137.8 Healing is freedom. For it demonstrates that dreams  will not prevail against the truth. Healing is shared. And by this
W1:137.10  seem to have no contact with you healed along with you. Perhaps you  will not recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to
W1:137.10  to you. But you are never healed alone. And legions upon legions  will receive the gift which you receive when you are healed.
W1:137.12 Would you not offer shelter to God's  Will? You but invite your Self to be at home, and can this invitation
W1:137.12  can this invitation be refused? Ask the inevitable to occur, and you  will never fail. The other choice is but to ask what cannot be to be,
W1:137.12  be to be, and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that only truth  will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day go
W1:137.12  ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing  will this day go forth from what is healed to what must yet be
W1:137.12  from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware that they  will both occur as one.
W1:137.13 We  will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let our minds
W1:137.14 Yet must we be prepared for such a gift. And so we  will begin the day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts
W1:137.14  day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we  will conclude today at night as well:
W1:137.16  all that was sick and offer blessing where there was attack. Nor  will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the day slips
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
W1:138.8  and grip the mind with terror and anxiety so strong that it  will not relinquish its ideas about its own protection. It must be
W1:138.13 Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now and  will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.
W1:139.7 And they  will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn
W1:139.9  God. It is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we  will do today.
W1:139.10 Five minutes in the morning and at night we  will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for today. We
W1:139.11 I  will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.
W1:139.14 I  will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.
W1:140.1  as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what  will make the body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it sees
W1:140.8  we seek a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We  will try today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds
W1:140.9 We  will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond
W1:140.9  and reach the source of healing from which nothing is exempt. We  will succeed to the extent to which we realize that there can never
W1:140.10  our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they took. We  will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which will cure all
W1:140.10  took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which  will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God. No
W1:140.14 And we  will feel salvation cover us with soft protection and with peace so
W1:140.14  can disturb our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This  will we learn today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly
W1:140.14  offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we  will say our prayer for healing hourly and take a minute as the hour
W1:R4.1  the second part of learning how the truth can be applied. Today we  will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next.
W1:R4.1  be applied. Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what  will follow next. Such is our aim for this review and for the lessons
W1:R4.1  the recent lessons and their central thoughts in such a way as  will facilitate the readiness which we would now achieve.
W1:R4.7  devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each idea you  will review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your
W1:R4.9 Five minutes with this thought  will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed and
W1:R4.9  appointed and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you  will receive that day. They will not come from you alone, for they
W1:R4.9  Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day. They  will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him.
W1:R4.9  will receive that day. They will not come from you alone, for they  will all be shared with Him. And so each one will bring the message
W1:R4.9  you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. And so each one  will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of
W1:R4.9  message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. So  will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has
W1:R4.9  has willed it be. And as His own completion joins with Him, so  will He join with you who are complete as you unite with Him and He
W1:R4.10  you the gift which He has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we  will use no format for our practicing but this:
W1:147.1 [133] I  will not value what is valueless.
W1:150.1 [139] I  will accept Atonement for myself.
W1:151.6  is to doubt yourself. Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence  will clear the way to recognize yourself and let the Voice for God
W1:151.7 He  will not tell you that your brother should be judged by what your
W1:151.10  of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His lessons  will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth. He
W1:151.10  enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth. He  will remove all faith that you have placed in pain, disaster,
W1:151.10  and can behold the gentle face of Christ in all of them. You  will no longer doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved
W1:151.10  doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved of God, for He  will judge all happenings and teach the single lesson which they all
W1:151.11 He  will select the elements in them that represent the truth and
W1:151.11  and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. And He  will reinterpret all you see and all occurrences, each circumstance,
W1:151.11  from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you  will see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure
W1:151.12  of nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So  will you see the holy face of Christ in everything and hear in
W1:151.13  and give them back to you as clean ideas that do not contradict the  Will of God.
W1:151.14 Give Him your thoughts, and He  will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness
W1:151.15  you hear the Voice for God give honor to God's Son. And everyone  will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your
W1:151.17 And we  will hourly remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we give
W1:152.7 To think that God made chaos, contradicts His  Will, invented opposites to truth, and suffers death to triumph over
W1:152.8  place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made  will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that there
W1:152.8  all you think you made will disappear. What rises to awareness then  will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will
W1:152.8  then will be all 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
W1:152.13 The power of decision is my own. This day I  will accept myself as what my Father's Will created me to be.
W1:152.13  is my own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's  Will created me to be.
W1:152.14 Then  will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly
W1:152.14  ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left  will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God
W1:152.15  concluding it with this same invitation to your Self. God's Voice  will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will
W1:152.15  Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He  will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the
W1:153.6  It testifies to recognition of the Christ in you. Perhaps you  will recall the course maintains that choice is always made between
W1:153.8 We  will not play such childish games today. For our true purpose is to
W1:153.9  serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we  will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy
W1:153.11  have done. God has elected all, but few have come to realize His  Will is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have
W1:153.11  waits and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor  will you learn that light has come to you, and your escape has been
W1:153.11  has come to you, and your escape has been accomplished. For you  will not see the light until you offer it to all your brothers. As
W1:153.11  offer it to all your brothers. As they take it from your hands, so  will you recognize it as your own.
W1:153.15 Today we practice in a form we  will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each day by giving our
W1:153.15 Today we practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We  will begin each day by giving our attention to the daily thought as
W1:153.15  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 with God.
W1:153.15  find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God. Nor  will we willingly give less at night in gratitude and joy.
W1:153.16  adds to our increasing peace, as we remember to be faithful to the  will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will
W1:153.16  the will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a minute, even less,  will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we
W1:153.16  will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we  will forget. At other times the business of the world will close on
W1:153.16  Sometimes we will forget. At other times the business of the world  will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while
W1:153.16  At other times the business of the world will close on us, and we  will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our thoughts to
W1:153.17 Yet when we can, we  will observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of
W1:153.17  of God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His Love. And we  will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His Voice and learn
W1:153.18 In time, with practice, you  will never cease to think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding
W1:153.18  His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways where you  will walk in true defenselessness, for you will know that Heaven goes
W1:153.18  into quiet ways where you will walk in true defenselessness, for you  will know that Heaven goes with you. Nor would you keep your mind
W1:153.18  your time is spent in offering salvation to the world. Think you He  will not make this possible for you who chose to carry out His plan
W1:153.19  weakness disappear as we remember that His strength abides in us. We  will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and
W1:153.20  the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We  will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will
W1:153.20  We will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing  will now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your
W1:153.21 Be not afraid nor timid. There can be no doubt that you  will reach your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail
W1:154.4  union with itself. So is its Self the one reality in which its  will and that of God are joined.
W1:154.5  the right of him who does nor ask why he has chosen those who  will receive the message that he brings. It is enough that he accept
W1:154.10 It is this joining that we undertake to recognize today. We  will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for
W1:154.10  and the giving of God's Word, the giving and receiving of His  Will.
W1:154.11  those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He needs our  will united with His own, that we may be the true receivers of the
W1:154.12 Let us but learn this lesson for today: we  will not recognize what we receive until we give it. You have heard
W1:154.12  is lacking still. But this is sure—until belief is given it, you  will receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more but
W1:154.12  receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more but  will not know that God Himself has left no gift beyond what you
W1:154.15  and what our function is. For as we prove that we accept no  will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to
W1:154.15  we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator  will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we will
W1:154.15  our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we  will understand what we received.
W1:155.1  do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way  will recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you
W1:155.3 This is the simple choice we make today. The mad illusion  will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who chose to
W1:155.7 All roads  will lead to this one in the end. For sacrifice and deprivation are
W1:155.7  are paths which lead nowhere, choices for defeat, and aims which  will remain impossible. All this steps back as truth comes forth in
W1:155.10 Yet at the journey's ending there  will be no gap, no distance between truth and you. And all illusions
W1:155.10  truth and you. And all illusions walking in the way you traveled  will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to keep the truth
W1:155.11  things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God  will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be illusion rather
W1:155.11  are purposeless, the holy Son of God will make no journeys. There  will be no wish to be illusion rather than the truth. And we step
W1:155.11  way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who  will follow us.
W1:155.13  His trust has made your pathway certain and your goal secure. You  will not fail your brothers nor your Self.
W1:155.15 I  will step back and let Him lead the way, for I would walk along the
W1:157.3 Today it  will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return
W1:157.3 Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you  will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along
W1:157.3  to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a while. This you  will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed,
W1:157.4 He  will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for now is what
W1:157.4  for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined your  will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you.
W1:157.5  you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today  will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the
W1:157.6 Your body  will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the
W1:157.7  all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you  will return becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more
W1:157.7  ways, a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light  will come to see the light more sure, the vision more distinct.
W1:157.8 The time  will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now
W1:157.8 The time will come when you  will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you
W1:157.8  will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you  will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it
W1:157.8  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 you have not
W1:157.8  of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it well. Today we  will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the Holy One,
W1:157.9 Into Christ's Presence  will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining
W1:157.9  except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of His face  will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all
W1:157.9  perfect Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but there  will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the
W1:157.9  which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you  will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the
W1:157.9  vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and  will surely know again.
W1:158.2  that vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are one  will come in time to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the
W1:158.4  which does not change. The script is written. When experience  will come to end your doubting has been set. For we but see the
W1:158.5  because He has a vision He can give to anyone who asks. The Father's  Will and His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is a vision which the
W1:159.7  hearth of mercy where the suffering are healed and welcome. No one  will be turned away from this new home where his salvation waits. No
W1:160.1 Fear is a stranger to the ways of love. Identify with fear, and you  will be a stranger to yourself. And thus you are unknown to you. What
W1:160.3  yet how easy it would be to say, “This is my home. Here I belong and  will not leave because a madman says I must.” What reason is there
W1:160.6  for he has made return impossible. His way is lost except a miracle  will search him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The
W1:160.6  search him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The miracle  will come. For in his home his Self remains. It asked no stranger in
W1:160.6  asked no stranger in and took no alien thought to be Itself. And It  will call Its own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its own.
W1:160.10  and perfect as it was established. He has not forgotten you. But you  will not remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies
W1:161.8 Who sees a brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he  will attack because what he beholds is his own fear external to
W1:161.9  that you could scarce refrain from kneeling at his feet. Yet you  will take his hand instead, for you are like him in the sight that
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
W1:161.10  that in his hands is your salvation. Ask him but for this, and he  will give it to you. Ask him not to symbolize your fear. Would you
W1:161.11  we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you  will come today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching
W1:161.11  today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you  will succeed today. And once you have succeeded, you will not be
W1:161.11  it, you will succeed today. And once you have succeeded, you  will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call
W1:161.11  to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you  will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember. You
W1:161.11  accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you will see  will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember. You are not
W1:161.11  forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you  will remember. You are not forgot in Heaven. Would you not remember
W1:161.15 And He  will answer Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God
W1:161.15 And He will answer Whom you called upon, for He  will hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him
W1:161.16  a brother and perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you  will see him suddenly transformed from enemy to savior, from the
W1:162.1  held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From time to time we  will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It will mean
W1:162.1  to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It  will mean far more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for
W1:162.2  is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these words  will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no illusion that the dream
W1:162.2  no thought of sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that  will not fade away before their might. They are the trumpet of
W1:162.2  awake in answer to its call. And those who live and hear this sound  will never look on death.
W1:162.3  because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He  will save the world because he gives the world what he receives each
W1:163.2  it alone is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone  will surely come.
W1:163.3  place of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted on. For it  will come with certain footsteps when the time has come for its
W1:163.3  with certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival. It  will never fail to take all life as hostage to itself.
W1:163.4  of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than God's  Will for life, the endlessness of love and Heaven's perfect,
W1:163.4  of love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the  Will of Father and of Son defeated finally and laid to rest beneath
W1:163.7  apparently, by those who did not want him to survive. Their stronger  will could triumph over His, and so eternal life gave way to death.
W1:163.8  this which they believed, they would be instantly released. And you  will show them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it now
W1:163.9  from Your eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your  Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the Life we share
W1:163.9  and part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and our  will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.

W1:164.3  sounds which come from nearer than the world are clear to you who  will today accept the gifts He gives.
W1:164.4  in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this today you  will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will bring rewards so
W1:164.4  All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today  will bring rewards so great and so completely different from all
W1:164.4  so completely different from all things you sought before that you  will know that here your treasure is and here your rest.
W1:164.5  scales of judgment left to Him Who judges true. And in His judgment  will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will

W1:164.7 We will not judge today. We  will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the
W1:164.7  for our release from blindness and from misery. All that we see  will but increase our joy because its holiness reflects our own. We

W1:165.5  you request the only thing you want. But when you have received, you  will be sure you have the treasure you have always sought. What would

W1:166.1  are not received. But what would make you think there is another  will than His?
W1:166.2  that underlies the making of the world. This world is not the  Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must
W1:166.2  Yet those who think it real must still believe there is another  will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He wills.
W1:166.5  gifts go with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he  will not look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the
W1:166.10 God's  Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned
W1:166.10  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 which He gave an
W1:166.12  gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your  will when you accept these gifts and recognize they are your own.
W1:166.14 Your sighs  will now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release.
W1:167.5  cannot give birth to what was never given them. As they are made, so  will their making be. As they were born, so will they then give
W1:167.5  As they are made, so will their making be. As they were born, so  will they then give birth. And where they come from, there will they

W1:167.10  because he sleeps and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We  will not ask for death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined
W1:167.10  to what he is? We will not ask for death in any form today. Nor  will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where
W1:167.12  holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and  will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken as it sees its own
W1:168.1  loves His Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He  will love His Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He loves him
W1:168.2  of His Love. Would He not gladly give the means by which His  Will is recognized? His grace is yours by your acknowledgment. And
W1:168.4  loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this world  will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but an
W1:168.4  give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision first  will come with knowledge but an instant later. For in grace you see a
W1:168.6  for what He has prepared for us He gives and we receive. Such is His  Will because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but

W1:169.4  set. But we have also said the mind determines when that time  will be and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear witness to
W1:169.6  this at all. It comes to every mind when total recognition that its  will is God's has been completely given and received completely. It
W1:169.7  all but this is now at hand. We do not hasten it, in that what you  will offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means.
W1:169.9  the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it  will be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do, for those
W1:169.11  the final gift salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides  will end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace
W1:169.15 By grace I live. By grace I am released. By grace I give. By grace I  will release.
W1:170.5  by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined way, you  will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is
W1:170.9  a choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is.  Will you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and
W1:170.9  to wrest from it and lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or  will you make another idol to replace it? For the god of cruelty
W1:R5.3 So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You  will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure
W1:R5.3  the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You  will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we

W1:R5.8  but still retaining in his mind the way that led him out and now  will lead you out with him. God's Son is crucified until you walk
W1:R5.10  Together we devote our time and effort to them. And together we  will teach them to our brothers. God would not have Heaven

W1:R5.11  review be then your gift to me. For this alone I need—that you  will hear the words I speak and give them to the world. You are my
W1:R5.14  throughout the day. And thus when we have finished this review, we  will have recognized the words we speak are true.
W1:173.2 [155] I  will step back and let Him lead the way. God is but Love, and
W1:I2.1  now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment  will bestow, if only intermittently. It is experiencing this which
W1:I2.1  intermittently. It is experiencing this which makes it sure that you  will give your total willingness to following the way the course sets
W1:I2.2  tight control of what you see speaks for itself. Your motivation  will be so intensified that words become of little consequence. You
W1:I2.2  will be so intensified that words become of little consequence. You  will be sure of what you want and what is valueless.
W1:I2.3  No more than this is asked because no more than this is needed. It  will be enough to guarantee the rest will come.

W1:181.5  while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will believe  will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the time of practicing with
W1:181.5  in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus  will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes,
W1:181.5  restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we  will magnify and call our “sins.”
W1:181.6  without regard to past or future, should such blocks arise, we  will transcend them with instructions to our minds to change their

W1:181.9  ours. And the love He feels for us becomes our own as well. This  will become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in
W1:181.10  trust to the experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the  Will of God. This instant is our willing one with His.

W1:182.8  when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then  will you hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you will
W1:182.8  then will you hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you  will not resist Him longer. In that instant, He will take you to His

W1:183.9  realizing that there is One Name for all there is and all that there  will be.
W1:183.10 Today you can achieve a state in which you  will experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the
W1:183.11  own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave, is giving still, and  will forever give. He calls on Him to let all things he thought he

W1:185.8  words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you believe  will comfort you and bring you happiness. But be you not dismayed by
W1:185.9  You choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams  will come as you requested them. Yet will God's peace come just as
W1:185.9  asked for dreams. And dreams will come as you requested them. Yet  will God's peace come just as certainly and to remain with you

W1:185.13  And when it is as meaningless to you, you can be sure you share one  will with Him, and He with you. And you will also know you share one
W1:185.13  can be sure you share one will with Him, and He with you. And you  will also know you share one will with all your brothers, whose

W1:186.1 Here is the statement that  will one day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the
W1:186.1  role. It does not judge your proper role. It but acknowledges the  Will of God is done on earth as well as Heaven. It unites all wills

W1:186.3  request but this? And what could arrogance deny but this? Today we  will not shrink from our assignment on the specious grounds that
W1:186.4  would have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He  will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths,
W1:186.4  We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will offer us. We  will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom, and our
W1:186.8 And so we find our peace. We  will accept the function God has given us, for all illusions rest
W1:186.10 These unsubstantial images  will go and leave your mind unclouded and serene when you accept the
W1:186.11  Who knows no error. And His Voice is certain of its messages. They  will not change nor be in conflict. All of them point to one goal,
W1:186.14  form, you can fulfill your function even here, although what love  will mean to you when formlessness has been restored to you is
W1:187.1  you have lost what you possessed. The truth maintains that giving  will increase what you possess.
W1:187.2  it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes  will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but
W1:187.3  to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you  will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it
W1:187.4  you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you  will never lose them. What you thought you did not have is thereby
W1:187.4  not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its form. For this  will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you try to

W1:187.5  he seems to lose is always something he will value less than what  will surely be returned to him.

W1:187.11  is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, it  will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar,
W1:188.8  where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with God. We  will not let them stray. We let the light within our minds direct
W1:188.9  in us and from us to all living things that share our life. We  will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what we thought it
W1:189.1  is a light in you the world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you  will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. Yet you
W1:189.5  But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: you  will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place
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,
W1:189.8  the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God  will do His part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and receive.
W1:189.9  this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds His love  will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been denied is surely
W1:189.10  the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We  will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our own, for they belong
W1:189.10  is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your  Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that
W1:190.1  It is not a fact at all. There is no form it takes which  will not disappear if seen aright. For pain proclaims God cruel. How
W1:190.5  what you are. As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they  will accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful
W1:190.5  As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your holy  will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now becomes a source of

W1:190.7  As an effect, it cannot make effects. As an illusion it is what you  will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. Your strange desires
W1:190.9  withering assaults with which you seek to hide your holiness. Here  will you understand there is no pain. Here does the joy of God belong
W1:191.2  that does not seem to bring you nearer death, no hope you hold but  will dissolve in tears.
W1:191.3 Deny your own Identity, and you  will not escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural, and
W1:191.5  that hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and escape, you  will return and set it free. For he who can accept his true Identity
W1:191.6  this savage need in it. You set it free of your imprisonment. You  will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the world in
W1:191.11  in a world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy  will its mercy shine on you.
W1:191.12  return again to bless the world he made. In error it began. But it  will end in the reflection of his holiness. And we will sleep no more
W1:191.12  it began. But it will end in the reflection of his holiness. And we  will sleep no more and dream of death. Then join with me today. Your
W1:192.1 It is your Father's holy  will that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His sacred
W1:192.5  mind without the body cannot make mistakes. It cannot think that it  will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger becomes
W1:192.6  the Son to look again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you  will indeed perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of sight
W1:192.9  a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword above your head. And it  will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free. Thus
W1:192.10  him. And you are what he is. Forgive him now his sins, and you  will see that you are one with him.
W1:193.1 God does not know of learning. Yet His  Will extends to what He does not understand in that He wills the
W1:193.1  and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His  Will. And thus His Will provides the means to guarantee that it is
W1:193.1  open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His Will. And thus His  Will provides the means to guarantee that it is done.
W1:193.2  for One Who can correct his erring sight and give him vision that  will lead him back to where perception ceases. God does not perceive
W1:193.5 These are the lessons God would have you learn. His  Will reflects them all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the
W1:193.6 Forgive and you  will see this differently.
W1:193.8 Forgive and you  will see this differently.
W1:193.14 We  will attempt today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace
W1:193.15  them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they  will disappear. Truth is His message; truth His teaching is. His are
W1:193.17  one goes, let everything that happens in its course go with it. Thus  will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time. This
W1:193.19 I  will forgive and this will disappear.
W1:193.19 I will forgive and this  will disappear.
W1:193.20  God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. God  will take this final step Himself. Do not deny the little steps He
W1:194.4  but asked to let the future go and place it in God's hands. And you  will see by your experience that you have laid the past and present
W1:194.4  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.
W1:194.4  as well because the past will punish you no more and future dread  will now be meaningless.
W1:194.6  can see the lesson for today as the deliverance it really is, you  will not hesitate to give as much consistent effort as you can to
W1:194.6  to the world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so  will the world perceive that it is saved.
W1:194.7  can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty but  will never lack correction. He is free to choose again when he has
W1:194.9  untroubled, sure that only good can come to us. If we forget, we  will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it
W1:194.9  we will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it  will be soon replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to
W1:194.9  replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to attack, we  will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the choice for us that
W1:195.4  to love. We offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things  will find their freedom. It will never be that some are loosed while
W1:195.4  to God our Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It  will never be that some are loosed while others still are bound, for
W1:195.5  but in sincerity. And let your gratitude make room for all who  will escape with you—the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and
W1:195.8  still locked away as sins. When your forgiveness is complete, you  will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has
W1:195.8  your forgiveness is complete, you will have total gratitude, for you  will see that everything has earned the right to love by being
W1:195.10 Our gratitude  will pave the way to Him and shorten our learning time by more than
W1:196.1 When this is firmly understood and kept in full awareness, you  will not attempt to harm yourself nor make your body slave to
W1:196.1  attempt to harm yourself nor make your body slave to vengeance. You  will not attack yourself, and you will realize that to attack another
W1:196.1  your body slave to vengeance. You will not attack yourself, and you  will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You
W1:196.1  will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You  will be free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves
W1:196.1  the insane belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. And you  will understand his safety is your own, and in his healing you are
W1:196.2 Perhaps at first you  will not understand how mercy, limitless and with all things held in

W1:198.15  that we have come this far and recognize that He Who brought us here  will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift that God
W1:199.4  need of it except the need the Holy Spirit sees. For this, the body  will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. It thus becomes
W1:199.5  a part of every practice period you take. There is no thought that  will not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which will
W1:199.5  will not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which  will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of

W1:200.8 Peace is the bridge that everyone  will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the
W1:200.9  and needless wasted time on thorny byways. God alone is sure, and He  will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His Son in need, nor let

W1:200.11  cannot be found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only this  will we accept and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a

W1:202.1 [182] I  will be still a moment and go home. Why would I choose to stay an

W1:208.1  and let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness, we  will find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to

W2:I.1 Words  will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not
W2:I.2  wait in quiet expectation for our God and Father. He has promised He  will take the final step Himself. And we are sure His promises are
W2:I.2  kept. We have come far along the road, and now we wait for Him. We  will continue spending time with Him each morning and at night, as
W2:I.2  with Him each morning and at night, as long as makes us happy. We  will not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we
W2:I.2  not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we  will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we forget our

W2:I.3 We  will continue with a central thought for all the days to come. And we

W2:I.3  to introduce our times of rest and calm our minds at need. Yet we  will not content ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining

W2:I.5  He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your  will He do so. And you could have never come this far unless you saw,
W2:I.5  never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your  will.

W2:I.7  that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your will to keep. We  will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy will
W2:I.7  We will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy  will created all that is, can fail in nothing. In this certainty, we

W2:I.10  is the need for practice almost done. For in this final section we  will come to understand that we need only call to God and all
W2:I.10  of judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed. We  will accept the way God's plan will end, as we received the way it
W2:I.10  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. This
W2:I.11  From time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance  will intersperse our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep
W2:WF.1  therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the  Will of God.
W2:WF.2 An unforgiving thought is one which makes a judgment that it  will not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The mind is closed
W2:WF.2  not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The mind is closed and  will not be released. The thought protects projection, tightening its
W2:221.1  to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You  will hear my call and answer me.
W2:221.2  in quiet. God is here because we wait together. I am sure that He  will speak to you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is
W2:221.2  we wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you  will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are
W2:225.2  follow it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I  will never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we
W2:226.1  of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so  will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the world as I
W2:226.1  it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it  will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace
W2:227.1 Father, it is today that I am free because my  will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet nothing that I
W2:227.1  that I am free because my will is Yours. I thought to make another  will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am free
W2:227.1  from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my  will is one with Yours.
W2:229.1  Love has prevailed. So still it waited for my coming home that I  will turn away no longer from the holy face of Christ. And what I
W2:230.2  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  way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time  will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time
W2:WS.1  will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time  will end as well. God's Word is given every mind which thinks that it
W2:WS.1  is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts and  will replace these thoughts of conflict with the thought of peace.
W2:231.2 This is your  will, my brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One
W2:231.2 This is your will, my brother. And you share this  will with me, and with the One as well Who is our Father. To remember
W2:231.2  To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it  will be given us to find.
W2:232.1  my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me and always  will be there to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes,
W2:233.1  give me Your own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your  will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained and wasting
W2:233.1  obtained and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I  will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide and I the
W2:233.2 Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we  will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day.
W2:234.1 Today we  will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we
W2:235.1  and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in mind my Father's  Will for me is only happiness to find that only happiness has come to
W2:236.1  my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the  Will of God.
W2:237.1 Today I  will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory and allow
W2:237.1 Today I will accept the truth about myself. I  will arise in glory and allow the light in me to shine upon the world
W2:WIW.1  perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It  will remain no longer than the thought which gave it birth is
W2:WIW.1  thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness  will the world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to
W2:241.1  set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They  will be united now as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by
W2:241.1  millions. They will be united now as you forgive them all. For I  will be forgiven by you today.
W2:242.1 I  will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world. And
W2:242.2  have received by us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You  will give us everything we want and that will help us find the way to
W2:242.2  and our needs. And You will give us everything we want and that  will help us find the way to You.
W2:243.1 I  will be honest with myself today. I will not think that I already
W2:243.1 I will be honest with myself today. I  will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my present
W2:243.1  that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I  will not think I understand the whole from bits of my perception,
W2:244.1  for You are there with him. He need but call upon Your Name, and he  will recollect his safety and Your Love, for they are one. How can he
W2:244.2  For what can come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what  will forever be a part of Him?
W2:245.1  me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your  Will, that I may come to recognize my Self.
W2:246.2 I  will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For
W2:246.2  the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that  will I succeed because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that
W2:246.2  to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your  Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well
W2:246.2  succeed because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You  will is what I will as well and only that. And so I choose to love
W2:246.2  it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I  will as well and only that. And so I choose to love Your Son. Amen.
W2:247.1 Sin is the symbol of attack. Behold it anywhere, and I  will suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ's
W2:WIS.2  Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then  will seek instead for witnesses to what is true.
W2:WIS.3  lost the Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His  Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and peace to be
W2:WIS.5 How long, oh Son of God,  will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away these
W2:WIS.5  Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children's toys? How soon  will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin.
W2:253.1  For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my  Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has
W2:253.2  and one with You. My Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your  will in perfect union with my own, which can but offer glad assent to
W2:254.1  this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your  Will, which I would share with You today.
W2:254.2  hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our  will, as we have chosen to remember Him.
W2:257.2  means for our salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no  will but Yours today. And thus our purpose must be Yours as well if
W2:257.2  our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the peace You  will for us.
W2:WIB.2 The body  will not stay. Yet this he sees as double “safety.” For the Son of
W2:WIB.3  the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose which the body  will obey by changing what we think that it is for.
W2:WIB.5 You  will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may
W2:WIB.5 You will identify with what you think  will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is
W2:WIB.5  with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you  will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and
W2:261.1 I  will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I will behold
W2:261.1 I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I  will behold myself where I perceive my strength and think I live
W2:261.1  In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there  will I remember who I really am.
W2:264.2  in this today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what  will save the world along with us?
W2:265.2  and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I  will see creation's gentleness.
W2:268.1  from its unity and thus to let it be as You created it. For thus  will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. In Love
W2:268.1  my Self as You created me. In Love was I created, and in Love  will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be
W2:270.1  world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more  will I perceive in it than sight can give. The world forgiven
W2:270.1  time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to him. And now his  will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your own, and every
W2:270.2 The quiet of today  will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone.
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 His
W2:WIC.2  separation is no more than an illusion of despair. For hope forever  will abide in Him. Your mind is part of His and His of yours. He is
W2:WIC.3  only part of you that has reality in truth. The rest is dreams. Yet  will these dreams be given unto Christ to fade before His glory and
W2:WIC.4  dreams and bids them come to Him to be translated into truth. He  will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed as the end
W2:WIC.5 And how long  will this holy face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time
W2:WIC.5  find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold His glory  will we know we have no need of learning or perception or of time, or
W2:272.1 Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your  will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me
W2:272.1  bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I  will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your
W2:272.2  dreams when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell and love  will happily replace all fear.
W2:274.1  friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth  will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and
W2:274.1  this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light  will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You
W2:274.1  where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son  will know he is as You created him.
W2:274.2  us today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there  will be no fear today because the day is given unto Love.
W2:275.1  than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we  will seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For
W2:275.2  all things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice  will tell me what to do and where to go, to whom to speak, and what
W2:277.2  Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's Truth can lie and God can  will that He deceive Himself.
W2:279.2 I  will accept Your promises today and give my faith to them. My Father
W2:WIHS.3  what is forever unattainable. And if you offer them to Him, He  will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to
W2:WIHS.4  and be restored to sanity and peace of mind. Without forgiveness  will your dreams remain to terrify you. And the memory of all your
W2:WIHS.4  remain to terrify you. And the memory of all your Father's Love  will not return to signify the end of dreams has come.
W2:281.2 I  will not hurt myself today. For I am far beyond all pain. My Father
W2:285.1  God to come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my invitation  will be answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me.
W2:285.1  answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me. And I  will ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my holiness. For
W2:286.2 The stillness of today  will give us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along
W2:286.2  the way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal. Today we  will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised us. We trust in
W2:288.1  because the past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart or I  will lose the way to walk to You. My brother is my savior. Let me not
W2:288.2 Forgive me, then, today. And you  will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the
W2:290.2  ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but seek to do Your  Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already
W2:290.2  Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I  will see my happiness today.
W2:292.1  Yet it is up to us when this is reached—how long we let an alien  will appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real,
W2:292.1  let an alien will appear to be opposing His. And while we think this  will is real, we will not find the end He has appointed as the
W2:292.1  appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real, we  will not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems
W2:292.1  every situation that we meet. Yet is the ending certain. For God's  Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find
W2:292.1  the ending certain. For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We  will seek and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees
W2:292.1  For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we  will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our will is
W2:292.1  in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find according to His  Will, which guarantees that our will is done.
W2:292.1  and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our  will is done.
W2:296.1  set it free that I may find escape and hear the Word Your holy Voice  will speak to me today.
W2:297.1  to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation and that  will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself.
W2:298.1  instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I  will be saved, sure that I go through fear to meet my Love.
W2:299.1  God my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our  will together understands it. And our will together knows that it is
W2:299.1  my holiness as His. Our will together understands it. And our  will together knows that it is so.
W2:299.2  Itself created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your  will that You be known.
W2:WISC.3  the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary that  will extend beyond itself and reaches up to God. The Second Coming is
W2:WISC.3  to be returned to Spirit in the name of true creation and the  Will of God.
W2:WISC.4  time itself cannot affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet  will come or who is present now is equally released from what he
W2:WISC.5 Pray that this Second Coming  will be soon, but do not rest with that. It needs your eyes and ears
W2:WISC.5  all it needs your willingness. Let us rejoice that we can do God's  Will and join together in its holy light. Behold, the Son of God is
W2:301.1  is my home because I judge it not. And therefore is it only what You  will. Let me today behold it uncondemned through happy eyes
W2:301.1  Let me see Your world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed  will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge
W2:301.1  tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I  will not judge Your world today.
W2:301.2  understand. But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we  will look upon God's world today.
W2:304.1  bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I  will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven
W2:305.2 Father, the peace of Christ is given us because it is Your  will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift and
W2:307.1 Father, Your  will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have.
W2:307.1 Father, Your will is mine, and only that. There is no other  will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is
W2:307.1  is no other will for me to have. Let me not try to make another  will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your will alone can
W2:307.1  have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and  will cause me pain. Your will alone can bring me happiness, and only
W2:307.1  make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your  will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would
W2:307.1  exists. If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your  will for me and enter into peace where conflict is impossible. Your
W2:307.1  conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in being and in  will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You
W2:307.2  into a state where conflict cannot come because we join our holy  will with God's in recognition that they are but one.
W2:309.1 Within me is eternal innocence because it is God's  Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is
W2:309.1  God's Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose  will is limitless as is His own, can will no change in this. For to
W2:309.1  and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His own, can  will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my
W2:309.1  as is His own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father's  Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God
W2:309.1  my Father's Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my  will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look within because I
W2:309.1  and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I made another  will which is not true and made it real. Yet it has no effects.
W2:310.1  spend with You, as You have chosen all my days should be. And what I  will experience is not of time at all. The joy that comes to me is
W2:310.1  of days nor hours, for it comes from Heaven to Your Son. This day  will be Your sweet reminder to remember You, Your gracious calling to
W2:310.1  holy Son, the sign Your grace has come to me and that it is Your  will that I be free today.
W2:WILJ.2  in which the world began go with it. Bodies now are useless and  will therefore fade away because the Son of God is limitless.
W2:WILJ.4  give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which  will set it free.
W2:311.1  but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He  will relieve you of the agony of all the judgments you have made
W2:312.2  set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is Your  will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well.
W2:313.1  so that fear has gone and where it was is love invited in. And love  will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of
W2:314.1  idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects. Death  will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and all the
W2:314.2  in Your hands, leaving behind our past mistakes and sure that You  will keep Your present promises and guide the future in their holy
W2:316.2  today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them  will provide the means by which I can behold them, see their worth,
W2:317.1  and gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then  will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my
W2:319.1  arrogance opposes truth. But where there is no arrogance, the truth  will come immediately and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied
W2:319.1  ego thinks that what one gains totality must lose. And yet it is the  Will of God I learn that what one gains is given unto all.
W2:319.2 Father, Your  Will is total. And the goal that stems from it shares its totality.
W2:319.2  of the world could You have given me? And what but this could be the  will my Self has shared with You?
W2:320.1  What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done. His holy  will can never be denied because his Father shines upon his mind and
W2:320.1  to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power of my Father's  Will abides.
W2:320.2 Your  Will can do all things in me and then extend to all the world as well
W2:320.2  to all the world as well through me. There is no limit on Your  Will. And so all power has been given to Your Son.
W2:WICR.1  There was no time when all that It created was not there. Nor  will there be a time when anything that It created suffers any

W2:321.1  I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son  will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me. And the way to You is
W2:321.1  to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my  will that I return.
W2:321.2 Today we answer for the world, which  will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom
W2:324.1  but choose to wander off a while and then return. Your loving Voice  will always call me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all
W2:326.1  still abide, and all Your attributes abide in me because it is Your  will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are
W2:326.1  so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You  will gather Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where
W2:326.1  Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth  will disappear and separate thoughts unite in glory as the Son of
W2:326.2  first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God's holy  Will.
W2:327.1  on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised He  will hear my call and answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my
W2:327.1  and faith in Him must surely come to me. This is the faith that  will endure and take me farther and still farther on the road that
W2:327.1  farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him. For thus I  will be sure that He has not abandoned me and loves me still,
W2:327.2 Father, I thank You that Your promises  will never fail in my experience if I but test them out. Let me
W2:328.1  upside-down until we listen to the Voice of God. It seems that we  will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate and that our
W2:328.1  is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His  Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our will is
W2:328.1  to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our  will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.
W2:328.1  since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our  will.
W2:328.2 There is no  will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what
W2:328.2  nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your  will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share
W2:328.2  that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that  will which You, my Father, gave as part of me.
W2:329.1 Father, I thought I wandered from Your  Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more
W2:329.1  from Your Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second  will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in truth is but Your
W2:329.1  will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in truth is but Your  Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this will never change.
W2:329.1  truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this  will never change. As You are One, so am I one with You. And this I
W2:329.1  One, so am I one with You. And this I chose in my creation, where my  will became forever one with Yours. That choice was made for all
W2:329.1  It cannot change and be in opposition to itself. Father, my  will is Yours. And I am safe, untroubled and serene in endless joy
W2:329.1  I am safe, untroubled and serene in endless joy because it is Your  will that it be so.
W2:329.2 Today we  will accept our union with each other and our Source. We have no will
W2:329.2  we will accept our union with each other and our Source. We have no  will apart from His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared

W2:WIE.5 Yet  will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light, the
W2:WIE.5  the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace  will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His

W2:331.1  There is no will except the will of Love. Fear is a dream and has no  will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace
W2:331.1  is illusion; life, Eternal Truth. There is no opposition to Your  Will. There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.
W2:331.1  There is no opposition to Your Will. There is no conflict, for my  will is Yours.
W2:331.2 Forgiveness shows us that God's  Will is one and that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights
W2:333.2  evil dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this alone  will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son.
W2:334.1 I  will not wait another day to find the treasures which my Father

W2:334.2  I would behold my brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for thus  will I behold my sinlessness.
W2:335.1  brother's sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I  will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.

W2:338.2 Your plan is sure, my Father—only Yours. All other plans  will fail. And I will have thoughts that will frighten me until I

W2:339.1  that he would want when he receives it? He has asked for what  will frighten him and bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to

W2:340.1  I am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son  will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your Voice

W2:353.1  I give all that 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,
W2:355.1 Why should I wait, my Father, for the joy You promised me? For You  will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. I am sure my treasure
W2:356.1  problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You  will answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and thus it answers
W2:359.1 Father, today we  will forgive Your world and let creation be Your own. We have
W2:FL.1 Our final lessons  will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the
W2:FL.3  to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we  will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His
W2:FL.5 We  will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His
W2:FL.6  him and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He  will answer thus, for these are His own Words to you. And more than
W2:FL.6  one ever have, for in these Words is all there is and all that there  will be throughout all time and in eternity.
W2:361.1 And if I need a word to help me, He  will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And
W2:361.1  a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that  will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open
W2:361.1  need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I  will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear
W2:361.1  gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He  will hear and answer me because He speaks for God, my Father, and His

W2:E.1  give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He  will not withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems

W2:E.2  the course of those whom God has called to Him. Therefore, obey your  will and follow Him Whom you accepted as your Voice, to speak of what
W2:E.3  Self when you retire from the world, to seek Reality instead. He  will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to
W2:E.4  every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. Nor  will He give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives only the
W2:E.4  pain that you may think is real. Nor will He give you pleasures that  will pass away, for He gives only the eternal and the good. Let Him

W2:E.5 The end is certain and the means as well. To this we say “Amen.” We  will be told exactly what God wills for us each time there is a
W2:E.5  what God wills for us each time there is a choice to make. And He  will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell will
W2:E.5  He will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell  will claim you not and that each choice you make brings Heaven nearer
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 confidence
W2:E.6  all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His  Will in everything we do. He loves God's Son as we would love him,
W2:E.6  and all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure: that I  will never leave you comfortless.
M:I.2  others learn and so do you. The question is not whether you  will teach, for in that there is no choice. The purpose of the course

M:2.1 Certain pupils have been assigned to each of God's teachers, and they  will begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the Call. They
M:2.1  chosen for him, because the form of the universal curriculum that he  will teach is best for them in view of their level of understanding.
M:2.1  ready to fulfill theirs. Time waits on his choice but not whom he  will serve. When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach
M:2.1  he will serve. When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach  will be provided for him.
M:2.2  correction was established and completed simultaneously, for the  Will of God is entirely apart from time. So is all reality, being of
M:2.3  as a new thought, a fresh idea, a different approach. Because your  will is free, you can accept what has already happened at any time
M:2.3  what has already happened at any time you choose, and only then  will you realize that it was always there. As the course emphasizes,
M:2.3  are not free to choose the curriculum or even the form in which you  will learn it. You are free, however, to decide when you want to
M:2.4  too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. God's  Will in everything but seems to take time in the working-out. What
M:3.1  of God. There are no accidents in salvation. Those who are to meet  will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy
M:3.2  situation. Perhaps the seeming strangers in the elevator  will smile to one another; perhaps the man will not scold the child
M:3.2  strangers in the elevator will smile to one another; perhaps the man  will not scold the child for bumping into him; perhaps the students
M:3.2  will not scold the child for bumping into him; perhaps the students  will become friends. Even at the level of the most casual encounter,
M:3.2  lose sight of separate interests, if only for a moment. That moment  will be enough. Salvation has come.
M:3.3  and His plan can have no levels, being a reflection of His  Will. Salvation is always ready and always there. God's teachers work
M:3.4  situation is maximal in the sense that each person involved  will learn the most that he can from the other person at that time.
M:3.4  each has learned the most he can at the time. Yet all who meet  will someday meet again, for it is the destiny of all relationships
M:4.1  of God have they as yet acquired the deeper characteristics that  will establish them as what they are. God gives special gifts to His
M:4.5  at which he can make the shift entirely internally. And so the plan  will sometimes call for changes in what seem to be external
M:4.6  the basis of whether they increase the helpfulness or hamper it. He  will find that many if not most of the things he valued before will
M:4.6  He will find that many if not most of the things he valued before  will merely hinder his ability to transfer what he has learned to new
M:4.6  as they arise. Because he has valued what is really valueless, he  will not generalize the lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice. It
M:4.7  If this is interpreted as giving up the desirable, it  will engender enormous conflict. Few teachers of God escape this
M:4.8  him. Now he rests a while and gathers them before going on. He  will not go on from here alone.
M:4.12  they are honest. They can only succeed because they never do their  will alone. They choose for all mankind, for all the world and all
M:4.14  completely obliterates his function from his awareness. It  will make him confused, fearful, angry, and suspicious. It will make
M:4.14  It will make him confused, fearful, angry, and suspicious. It  will make the Holy Spirit's lessons impossible to learn. Nor can
M:4.15  they join their thoughts with Him Who is their Source. And so their  will, which always was His own, is free to be itself.
M:4.20  at a time perhaps unknown as yet, but not in doubt. The time  will be as right as is the answer. And this is true for everything
M:5.3  for his thoughts. And if he is responsible for his thoughts, he  will be killed to prove to him how weak and pitiful he is. But if he
M:5.5  that this is so, and he recovers. If he decides against recovery, he  will not be healed. Who is the physician? Only the mind of the
M:5.7  and effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the learning  will generalize and transform the world. The transfer value of one
M:5.10  and truth is not brought to them. So are they dispelled, not by the  will of another but by the union of the One will with itself. And
M:5.10  dispelled, not by the will of another but by the union of the One  will with itself. And this is the function of God's teachers—to see
M:5.10  with itself. And this is the function of God's teachers—to see no  will as separate from their own, nor theirs as separate from God's.
M:6.2 Healing  will always stand aside when it would be seen as threat. The instant
M:6.2  instant it is welcome it is there. Where healing has been given, it  will be received. And what is time before the gifts of God? We have
M:6.2  accepted. Let him be certain it has been received and trust that it  will be accepted when it is recognized as a blessing and not a curse.
M:6.3  part that makes sharing possible, the part that guarantees the giver  will not lose but only gain. Who gives a gift and then remains with
M:8.3  outward, and it sends the body's eyes to find it. The body's eyes  will never see except through differences. Yet it is not the messages
M:8.4  this? Unrecognized by itself, it has itself asked to be given what  will fit into these categories. And having done so, it concludes that
M:8.5  of the insane in a larger hallucination as opposed to a smaller one?  Will he agree more quickly to the unreality of a louder voice he
M:8.5  unreality of a louder voice he hears than to that of a softer one?  Will he dismiss more easily a whispered demand to kill than a shout?
M:8.5  they are real to him. When he realizes they are all illusions, they  will disappear. And so it is with healing. The properties of
M:8.6 The body's eyes  will continue to see differences, but the mind which has let itself
M:8.6  to see differences, but the mind which has let itself be healed  will no longer acknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be

M:8.6  eyes will report their changed appearances as before. But the mind  will put them all in one category—they are unreal. This is the gift
M:10.6  his mistaken choice, have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step  will bring you peace. Can it be difficult to want but this?
M:12.1  is based upon God's Judgment, not His own. Thus does He share God's  Will and bring His Thoughts to still deluded minds. He is forever
M:12.4  to let God's Voice speak through it to human ears. And these ears  will carry to the mind of the hearer messages which are not of this
M:12.4  of the hearer messages which are not of this world, and the mind  will understand because of their Source. From this understanding will
M:12.4  will understand because of their Source. From this understanding  will come the recognition in this new teacher of God of what the
M:12.5  central lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it  will become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same
M:12.5  you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you  will see it as sinful. Because it is sinful, it is weak, and being

M:13.7  A split that cannot happen. Yet a split in which you surely  will believe, because you have set up a situation that is impossible.
M:14.1 Can what has no beginning really end? The world  will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an
M:14.1  really end? The world will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet  will its ending be an illusion of mercy. The illusion of forgiveness,

M:14.5 The world  will end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come,
M:14.5  When joy has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world  will end in peace because it is a place of war. When peace has come,

M:16.8 Yet there  will be temptations along the way the teacher of God has yet to
M:16.8  He can but try, and his success depends on his conviction that he  will succeed. He must be sure success is not of him but will be given
M:16.8  that he will succeed. He must be sure success is not of him but  will be given him at any time, in any place and circumstance he calls

M:16.8  are times his certainty will waver, and the instant this occurs he  will return to earlier attempts to place reliance on himself alone.
M:16.9  temptation is nothing more than the attempt to substitute another  will for God's. These attempts may indeed seem frightening, yet they
M:16.9  of God has reached the most advanced state. All intermediate lessons  will but lead to this and bring this goal nearer to recognition. For
M:16.10 There is no substitute for the  Will of God. In simple statement, it is to this fact that the teacher
M:16.11  trust in magic, for it is only this that leads to pain. “There is no  will but God's.” His teachers know that this is so and have learned
M:17.2  outcomes. Nor should it be forgotten that the outcome that results  will always come to teacher and to pupil. How many times has it been
M:17.2  who need his aid? Here is his gift most clearly given him. For he  will give only what he has chosen for himself. And in this gift is
M:17.3  then is easily responded to with just one answer, and this answer  will enter the teacher's mind unfailingly. From there it shines into
M:17.4 Perhaps it  will be helpful to remember that no one can be angry at a fact. It is
M:17.5  possible that the mind which thinks it believes it has a separate  will that can oppose the Will of God and succeed. That this can
M:17.5  which thinks it believes it has a separate will that can oppose the  Will of God and succeed. That this can hardly be a fact is obvious.
M:17.7 But what  will now be your reaction to all magic thoughts? They can but
M:18.2  is He free to teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they  will gladly be returned to Him. And now is guilt forgiven, overlooked
M:20.3  this, given forgiveness there must be peace. For what except attack  will lead to war? And what but peace is opposite to war? Here the
M:20.4  of God retained once it is found? Returning anger, in whatever form,  will drop the heavy curtain once again, and the belief that peace
M:20.4  the heavy curtain once again, and the belief that peace cannot exist  will certainly return. War is again accepted as the one reality. Now
M:20.4  you may not recognize that you have picked it up again. But you  will learn, as you remember even faintly now what happiness was yours
M:20.5  you have decided that death ends life. Forgive the world, and you  will understand that everything which God created cannot have an end,
M:20.6  peace of God? No more than this—the simple understanding that His  Will is wholly without opposite. There is no thought that contradicts
M:20.6  is wholly without opposite. There is no thought that contradicts His  Will yet can be true. The contrast between His Will and yours but
M:20.6  that contradicts His Will yet can be true. The contrast between His  Will and yours but seemed to be reality. In truth there is no
M:20.6  but seemed to be reality. In truth there is no conflict, because His  Will is yours. Now is the mighty Will of God Himself His gift to you.
M:20.6  there is no conflict, because His Will is yours. Now is the mighty  Will of God Himself His gift to you. He does not seek to keep it for
M:20.6  you seek to keep your tiny, frail imaginings apart from Him? The  Will of God is one and all there is. This is your heritage. The
M:20.6  you can conceive belong to you. God's peace is the condition for His  Will. Attain His peace, and you remember Him.
M:21.3 The prayer for things of this world  will bring experiences of this world. If the prayer of the heart asks
M:21.3  of this world. If the prayer of the heart asks for this, this  will be given because this will be received. It is impossible that
M:21.3  prayer of the heart asks for this, this will be given because this  will be received. It is impossible that the prayer of the heart
M:21.4  his words be chosen for him by ceasing to decide for himself what he  will say. This process is merely a special case of the workbook
M:21.4  say. This process is merely a special case of the workbook lesson “I  will step back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of God accepts
M:22.2  seems long, let him be content. He has decided on the direction he  will take. What more was asked of him? And having done what was
M:22.5  himself and can hardly offer it to his brother in Christ's Name. He  will, in fact, be unable to recognize his brother at all, for his
M:22.7  Son is to limit his Father. Both are equally meaningless. Yet this  will not be understood until God's teacher recognizes that they are

M:23.3  his promises, and ask yourself honestly whether it is likely that he  will fail to keep them. Can God fail His Son? And can one who is one
M:23.6  all limits by and went beyond the farthest reach of learning. He  will take you with him, for he did not go alone. And you were with
M:24.3  not acceptable to anyone, regardless of his formal beliefs. His ego  will be enough for him to cope with, and it is not part of wisdom to
M:24.4  purpose. If there are aspects to any concept or belief that  will be helpful, he will be told about it. He will also be told how
M:24.4  there are aspects to any concept or belief that will be helpful, he  will be told about it. He will also be told how to use it. What more

M:24.6  does not lead to this is of concern to God's teachers. All beliefs  will point to this if properly interpreted. In this sense it can be
M:25.1  his efforts be directed toward this one great final surprise, and he  will not be content to be delayed by the little ones that may come to
M:25.3  used. Taking them as ends in themselves, no matter how this is done,  will delay progress. Nor does their value lie in proving anything—
M:25.4  to weakness, for what is withheld from love is given to fear and  will be fearful in consequence.

C:3.10  due to your concept of the mind. What you conceive it to be, it  will be to you. While many teachings have attempted to dislodge this

C:3.11  that shows that if you behave in a certain way certain things  will happen as a result. Like a child learning not to touch a stove

C:3.15 What this  will mean to you goes far beyond the learning of this Course. One
C:3.15  of this Course. One such concept, given up and not replaced,  will free you beyond your deepest imaginings and free your sisters
C:3.18  to you again: take heart. Such foolishness as your heart's desires  will save you now. Remember it is your heart that yearns for home.

C:3.23  the proof we have been given of love's strength. For this we  will return to again and again as we learn to recognize what love is.
C:4.2  can love for love's sake. What is a false idol? What you think love  will get you. You are entitled to all that love would give but not to
C:4.2  entitled to all that love would give but not to what you think love  will provide for you through its acquisition. This is a classic
C:4.8  all these things that you have made to replace what you already have  will lead you back as surely as they can lead you astray. Where what
C:4.8  back as surely as they can lead you astray. Where what you have made  will lead rests only on your decision. Your decision, couched in many
C:4.12  time is right. For that kind and gentle stance you do not believe  will serve you now, that blindness and self-sacrifice is something to
C:4.15  beauty and the trappings of good upbringing. Those most insecure  will believe in a partner who would shower him or her with praise and
C:4.15  in good health, not too demanding, a companion and a lover who  will be convenient within a busy life.
C:4.16  You hope to be a winner in this game you play, a chosen one who  will have each ounce of love that is given returned in kind. This is
C:4.17  you have set; you expect that a certain amount of prestige  will follow certain accomplishments; you accept that some tasks have
C:4.17  that some tasks have to be done for survival's sake. You hope there  will be some fairness here in what you give and what you are given
C:4.17  what you give and what you are given back. You hope your hard work  will produce results, the dinner you prepared be eaten with delight,
C:4.17  spend your days. For spend your days you do, and soon that spending  will deplete the limited number of days in store for you and you will
C:4.17  will deplete the limited number of days in store for you and you  will die. Life is not fair, nor meant to be, you claim. But love is
C:4.18  has no resemblance to how you spend your days or the way your days  will end. Love is all that is set apart in your perception from what
C:4.21  place you have made of love in a world of madness, and hope that you  will live to see the day when you can leave the madness behind, and
C:4.21  to see the day when you can leave the madness behind, and that you  will still find love behind the doors you have passed through so many
C:4.24  abides the Host who loves all dearly. Within you is the light that  will show you what love is and keep it not set apart from life any

C:4.26  not that this joining is a metaphor, a string of pleasant words that  will bring you comfort if you heed them, one more sentiment in a
C:4.27  home. This foreign world where you have been so lonely and afraid  will linger for a while where it can terrify you no longer, until
C:4.27  for a while where it can terrify you no longer, until finally it  will fade away into the nothingness from which it came as a new world
C:5.5  between one body and another, and while you think this is so, you  will not understand relationship or union or come to recognize love
C:5.12  that you enter into a relationship with it, for it is there you  will find love. It is in every joining, every entering into, that
C:5.13  the rise and fall of many armies. What armies of destruction  will rock the world when they are brought to love?
C:5.20  about what to replace your senseless thoughts with, as your heart  will intercede by fulfilling its longing for union as soon as you
C:5.21  in your creation of the world. The only meaning possible for free  will is this: what you choose to join with you, and what you choose
C:5.23  real. Rather than feeling as if you have gained, feelings of loss  will now be what you fight to overcome. What have you done wrong, you
C:5.24  one accomplishment with another, sure that the next one or the next  will be the one to do the trick.
C:5.25 A trick this is indeed, for what has once failed to work  will surely fail again. Stop now and give up what you think you want.
C:5.29  but are made so by your choice, the choice to achieve what you  will on your own. This is all the difference there is between union

C:6.4  been, with the help of the Holy Spirit, being turned into that which  will help you learn what your reality really is. Yet you still refuse
C:6.6  one with everything that has been created. This simple realization  will start you on the path to learning what your heart would have you
C:6.9 Choose again! And let go your fear of what the truth  will bring. What could be more insane than that which you now call
C:6.10  when you are old and have grown weary of the world. Then perhaps you  will sit in the sun.
C:6.12  is still to come is what you live for, with the undying hope that it  will not be that which came before. For every challenge faced is but
C:6.12  next. And each one comes to replace the old with hope that this one  will be the one—and equal hope that it will not.

C:6.20  those who claim not to believe in God or an afterlife of any sort  will, when prompted to be truthful, admit this is an image that
C:6.20  fantasy, nor did it pass from one mind to the next as stories often  will. It is but part of your awareness of who you are, an awareness

C:7.23  source. Remind yourself that when love comes to fill your heart, you  will deny it not, nor its source. You do not need to believe that
C:7.23  deny it not, nor its source. You do not need to believe that this  will happen, but only to allow for the possibility of it happening.
C:8.1  as your own Self. Emotions, the thoughts of your heart, are what we  will now work with, separating as we do the truth from your
C:8.3 Communion is union that we  will speak of here as being of the highest level, though in truth, no
C:8.3  all. As a learning being, the idea of levels is helpful to you and  will aid you in seeing that you progress from one step, or one level
C:8.3  This is more a process of remembering than learning, and this you  will understand as memory begins to return to you. Your heart will

C:8.5  We will thus examine a new way of looking at emotions, a way that  will allow them to assist you in your learning rather than block you
C:8.11  hidden recesses of a heart or mind? Without union all your seeking  will not reveal the truth. And while there is a part of you that
C:8.16 We  will go one step further as well, for many of you are thinking still
C:8.18  and time. As you stand back and observe your body, this is what you  will see: a form moving through time and place. You may be more aware
C:8.19  to not observe with your mind, but with your heart. This observance  will contain a holiness, a gift of sight beyond that of your normal
C:8.21  magnitude of all that with you occupies the world. Some days this  will make you feel like one of many, a tiny peon of little
C:8.21  one of many, a tiny peon of little significance. On other days you  will feel quite superior, the ultimate achievement of the world and
C:8.21  of the world and all its years of evolution. There are days you  will feel quite of the earth, as if this is your natural home and
C:8.21  natural home and heaven to your soul. On other days your feeling  will be quite the opposite, and you will wonder where you are. Yes,
C:8.21  soul. On other days your feeling will be quite the opposite, and you  will wonder where you are. Yes, there your body is, but where are you?
C:8.22 Although you cannot observe it, you  will become aware of how the past walks through your days with you,
C:8.29  Your days are but evidence of this truth. What your eyes behold  will one day deceive you while what your heart beholds will the next
C:8.29  eyes behold will one day deceive you while what your heart beholds  will the next day see through the deception. And so one day lived in
C:9.4  your existence and to make things happen. This use of relationship  will never provide the proof or the action you seek, because
C:9.9  it. This you are not ready yet to do, but this is what your heart  will now prepare you for. As you are prepared, you walk alongside he
C:9.10  to return you to your real Self, and the new purpose you establish  will change its conditions as well as its usefulness to you.
C:9.11  on the simple idea that you do not have what you need. You  will continue to believe this while your allegiance remains split.
C:9.11  split. Until you have withdrawn all faith in what you have made, you  will believe that what you made remains useful to you. Since this is
C:9.11  total willingness to change it—a willingness not yet complete—we  will, instead of trying to ignore what you have made, use it in a new
C:9.12  perception of your heart. Your illusions concerning it, when undone,  will quickly reveal to you the truth because your misperceptions
C:9.12  heart are the strongest and purest that exist, and their remembrance  will help to still your mind and reveal the rest.
C:9.15  back the first level of what your eyes allow you to observe and you  will find fear lurking there. The next level, depending on your
C:9.21  would not want to have, you have accomplished much. But a warm fire  will only provide warmth as long as it is stoked. A meal will provide
C:9.21  a warm fire will only provide warmth as long as it is stoked. A meal  will provide fullness only until the next is needed. Your closed door
C:9.24 The only replacement that can occur that  will accomplish what you seek is the replacement of illusion with the

C:9.24  what you desire, or you can choose instead the only replacement that  will work.
C:9.33 God's  will for you is happiness, and never has it been otherwise. God's
C:9.33  memory would tell you that your Creator did. God alone can give free  will. In giving your power to things like your body and to ideas like
C:9.33  your body and to ideas like time your imitation of the gift of free  will is so falsely placed in illusion that you cannot see this
C:9.34 The free  will that God gave you is what has allowed you to make of yourself
C:9.34  is what has allowed you to make of yourself and your world what you  will. Now you look upon this world with guilt and see it as evidence
C:9.35 As long as you do not want to be forgiven you  will not feel the gentle touch of forgiveness upon you and your
C:9.38  individual.” As long as more than this is not sought, more than this  will not be realized.
C:9.39  something is. One thing alone is sure: When you have found it you  will know that it has been found. This is what will bring you
C:9.39  you have found it you will know that it has been found. This is what  will bring you happiness and peace, contentment and a sense of
C:9.39  and peace, contentment and a sense of belonging. This is what  will cause you to feel as if your time here has not been in vain. You
C:9.39  if on your deathbed you have not found what you have sought, you  will not leave in deepest peace but in dark despair and fear. You
C:9.39  will not leave in deepest peace but in dark despair and fear. You  will have no hope for what lies beyond life, for you will have found

C:10.9  you cannot earn more of God's good graces than your brother. You  will stay until you realize that God has given everything already to
C:10.10  and the rewards you would choose here are as dust to those you  will become aware of as you proceed.
C:10.11  do miracles on your own. In the early stages of your learning, you  will be tempted to play a game of make believe. You will not believe
C:10.11  learning, you will be tempted to play a game of make believe. You  will not believe that you are not your body, but you would make
C:10.11  yourself is welcomed by your separated self who knows pretending  will not make it so.
C:10.12  in me, in heaven and in an afterlife is that you do not think you  will be proven wrong here. If you are wrong, you will merely rot away
C:10.12  do not think you will be proven wrong here. If you are wrong, you  will merely rot away after you have died and no one will know how
C:10.12  are wrong, you will merely rot away after you have died and no one  will know how wrong you were! If you are wrong, at least you believed
C:10.13  either union or your neighbor is something else. This belief  will not necessarily bring you comfort or do you no harm. What if you
C:10.15  the mystery of faith: Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ  will come again. What is missing from this recitation? Christ was
C:10.16  is a choice you need not make. As your learning advances you  will see that this is possible, but there may be reasons not to
C:10.17  Nothing happens to the Son of God by accident. This observation  will help to put the responsibility of your life back into your
C:10.17  yourself, What choice might lead to happiness instead of this, you  will begin to see a difference in your body's response to what appear
C:10.18  to find some happiness within it. These instructions to your heart  will begin to make a difference to your state of mind.
C:10.20  demise, but in the loneliness that comes with its loss you  will wonder, at least briefly, why the choice for practicality needed
C:10.20  can look back and see that it chose being right over being happy, it  will congratulate itself despite its unhappiness and say, “I did the
C:10.20  itself despite its unhappiness and say, “I did the right thing.” It  will see itself as victor over the foolish dreams of happiness and
C:10.21  so fulfilling that once you have experienced it you say, “I  will take this despair no more.” For others this threshold is the
C:10.21  to the separated self's reality. If they cannot leave it, they  will block it out. Some, at this threshold, turn back. They deny
C:10.23  work or the shadow form on the ground as you walk to and fro, you  will be learning the only separation that can be useful to you.
C:10.24 Your first realization of significance  will be that all you hear does not come through your ears. You will
C:10.24  will be that all you hear does not come through your ears. You  will find that you are full of thoughts—thoughts about your body,
C:10.24  of thoughts you might have of someone else's body. The difference  will be that these thoughts will not seem to have originated in your
C:10.24  of someone else's body. The difference will be that these thoughts  will not seem to have originated in your head. You may realize for
C:10.25  successful or a hopeless failure at conducting this experiment, you  will realize anew that your thoughts more accurately define who you
C:10.26  laugh at yourself for taking part in this silly experiment, but you  will realize the desire to laugh at yourself is quite genuine and not
C:10.26  at yourself is quite genuine and not conceived from meanness. There  will be a happier self who seems to think this game is rather fun,
C:10.26  This laughter too, as well as the sense of fun that prompted it,  will come without the body's participation.
C:10.27 You  will soon develop an ability to see without your body's eyes. This,
C:10.27  soon develop an ability to see without your body's eyes. This, too,  will seem like a silly game at first, a trick of your imagination.
C:10.27  seem like a silly game at first, a trick of your imagination. You  will, at first, observe only that which you can “see”—your arms and
C:10.27  and legs, your shadow falling as you walk—but more and more you  will come to see the body as a whole. You will see it from behind as
C:10.27 —but more and more you will come to see the body as a whole. You  will see it from behind as you follow it about its day, without, at
C:10.27  without, at first even being aware that this is happening. And you  will find that as you observe, you are more aware of your
C:10.27  is your body sitting at a desk in a building with many others. You  will realize how seldom before you were aware of the street you
C:10.27  the open sky above, of all the “others” traveling it with you. You  will feel more a part of everything rather than less, and be
C:10.30 What you  will be feeling as you proceed is the feeling of the tunnel vision of
C:10.30  expanded vision of the unified Self. As you feel this happening, you  will begin to be aware of feelings too that are not bound to the
C:10.30  see nor hear with your body's eyes or ears, these feelings too  will not depend upon your body's senses.
C:10.31 You  will find quite a bit of resistance to this experiment. You will find
C:10.31 You will find quite a bit of resistance to this experiment. You  will find you are too serious to play this game and that you have
C:10.31  to do. Yet as much as you resist, the idea has been planted and you  will find yourself, at times that seem to be “against your will,”
C:10.31  and you will find yourself, at times that seem to be “against your  will,” participating in it despite your determination not to do so.
C:10.31  to do so. Once you begin to feel the effects of the experiment you  will also encounter fear, especially if you take the game too
C:10.31  encounter fear, especially if you take the game too seriously. There  will be times when you will not want to laugh when the urge to do so
C:10.31  if you take the game too seriously. There will be times when you  will not want to laugh when the urge to do so comes upon you, and
C:10.31  other times that after the slightest moment of expanded vision you  will welcome back your tunnel vision with gratitude. You will feel
C:10.31  vision you will welcome back your tunnel vision with gratitude. You  will feel relieved that your feet still touch the ground and that the
C:10.31  ground and that the boundary of your body is still intact. But you  will remember the urge to laugh gently at yourself and the expanded
C:10.31  to laugh gently at yourself and the expanded vision as well. You  will remember that for a moment your body did not seem to be a
C:10.31  a boundary that kept you contained within its limitations. Then you  will remember that this is but a Course in remembering and that
C:10.32 Many of you  will rebel here thinking this is not what you signed on for. You just
C:10.32  read about this Course, perhaps, and not be required to take it. You  will want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You will ask for
C:10.32  take it. You will want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You  will ask for the information, and say you would really rather not
C:10.32  heart cannot. A tiny glimmering of memory has returned to you and  will not leave you to the chaos you seem to prefer. It will keep
C:10.32  to you and will not leave you to the chaos you seem to prefer. It  will keep calling you to acknowledge it and let it grow. It will tug
C:10.32  It will keep calling you to acknowledge it and let it grow. It  will tug at your heart in the most gentle of ways. Its whisper will
C:10.32  It will tug at your heart in the most gentle of ways. Its whisper  will be heard within your thoughts. Its melody will play within your
C:10.32  of ways. Its whisper will be heard within your thoughts. Its melody  will play within your mind. “Come back, come back,” it will say to
C:10.32  Its melody will play within your mind. “Come back, come back,” it  will say to you. “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You will know
C:10.32  back, come back,” it will say to you. “Come home, come home,” it  will sing. You will know there is a place within yourself where you
C:10.32  back,” it will say to you. “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You  will know there is a place within yourself where you are missed and
C:11.4  have sought to limit by limiting the exercises to a simple few that  will stay with you when all hurrying, fear of failing, and earnest
C:11.4  are but ideas of union come to replace ideas of separation. This  will happen of its own without your understanding as long as you
C:11.4  love is. Neither can happen. And your perception that either can  will shut out all ideas of union.
C:11.6  be. Willingness and faith go together. What you have faith in, you  will see. This Course asks for your willingness to have faith in
C:11.7  of openness, not necessarily of firm belief. You see free  will and willingness together and while they are the same, their
C:11.8 Your free  will you guard most closely, knowing this is what made the separation
C:11.9  is insane, and you know that this is so. But because you view free  will as all you have that God cannot take away from you, you have not
C:11.9  but He can also take it all away, and in the end He surely  will. He then will judge you and determine if you should be rewarded
C:11.9  He can also take it all away, and in the end He surely will. He then  will judge you and determine if you should be rewarded for a life of
C:11.10 And so you give to God a little faith and cherish your free  will, the true god of the separated self. You think at times that
C:11.10  that you live. But your strongest perception of your free  will is of its power. No matter what God wants of you, you can use
C:11.10  of its power. No matter what God wants of you, you can use your free  will to rebel and to make your own choices, choices different than
C:11.11 You do not see that what you choose to do with your free  will matters not to God at all, for what you have chosen to use it
C:11.12 It is true that your free  will is powerful as it is part, but only part, of what has allowed
C:11.12  believe in your separated state. While you could have used your free  will to create like unto your Father, by choosing to make yourself
C:11.12  occur—you have chosen instead to do nothing at all with your free  will but make this one insane choice. Your willingness to make a new
C:11.12  one insane choice. Your willingness to make a new choice is what  will once again make your free will like unto your Father's will,
C:11.12  to make a new choice is what will once again make your free  will like unto your Father's will, which is one with it in truth.
C:11.12  is what will once again make your free will like unto your Father's  will, which is one with it in truth.
C:11.13 Your protectiveness of your free  will is why we must separate willingness from your perception of free
C:11.13  is why we must separate willingness from your perception of free  will. Your free will is the last bastion of your separate army, the
C:11.13  separate willingness from your perception of free will. Your free  will is the last bastion of your separate army, the final line of
C:11.13  army, the final line of defense, the site where the final battle  will take place. Before this final battle is reached your willingness
C:11.14 God  will never wrestle your free will from you, or fight battles to win
C:11.14 God will never wrestle your free  will from you, or fight battles to win it for Himself. This final
C:11.14  you have made go, and realize that willingness does not negate free  will. Yet even while you cannot yet quite give up your guardianship
C:11.14  sufficient to begin with a temporary choice, though a lasting choice  will be required before you will feel the shift of cause and quit
C:11.14  choice, though a lasting choice will be required before you  will feel the shift of cause and quit worrying about effect. For now
C:11.14  that can be rescinded at any time. Your temporary willingness  will be enough to begin to effect cause and in so doing bring some
C:11.16  that goes out to truth and not illusion. It is a call whose answer  will come to you quickly on the wings of angels, a fluttering your
C:11.16  come to you quickly on the wings of angels, a fluttering your heart  will feel, for angels too are one with you. It may feel like
C:11.17  love is. You need not concentrate on where to find love, for love  will find you. You need not concentrate on giving love, for you
C:11.17  do not yet know, and when you know it you need not give it, for it  will extend from you naturally in miracles called love. Love is all
C:11.17  extend from you naturally in miracles called love. Love is all that  will fill your emptiness, and all that will never leave you empty
C:11.17  called love. Love is all that will fill your emptiness, and all that  will never leave you empty again as it extends from you to your
C:11.17  it extends from you to your brothers and sisters. Love is all that  will not leave you wanting. Love is all that will replace use with
C:11.17  Love is all that will not leave you wanting. Love is all that  will replace use with unity.
C:12.4 We have said before the only meaning possible for your free  will is your choice of what to join with and your choice of what to
C:12.6 God's  will for you is happiness, and of this you can be certain. To align
C:12.6  for you is happiness, and of this you can be certain. To align your  will with God's is but to make this certain state your home. This is
C:12.6  This is but a wish come true, and when it is all you wish for it  will come to be. And in the granting of this wish will come your rest
C:12.6  you wish for it will come to be. And in the granting of this wish  will come your rest and the laying down of every heavy burden you
C:12.7  of your illusion in its place, you would understand the rest that  will simply come of giving up your need to do so. Your desire for
C:12.8  Course aims to establish your identity, for from it all the rest  will come. As such, this Course seems to ask for change at every
C:12.8  to ask for change at every level, and yet from one change alone  will all the others follow—and through no effort on your part at
C:12.9  in you. Re-establishing your relationship with your brother is what  will show your Self to you. You have one brother who wears but many
C:12.14  For what alone in all creation could be affected by your free  will but your own self? But one was needed to, of his own free will,
C:12.14  free will but your own self? But one was needed to, of his own free  will, join his will with his Father's for it to be done for all. This
C:12.14  your own self? But one was needed to, of his own free will, join his  will with his Father's for it to be done for all. This is all
C:12.17  on their own apart from you. Imagine this occurring and you  will see how senseless this situation would be. Could a trip happen
C:13.1 You  will never fully understand what unity means, but you will come to
C:13.1 You will never fully understand what unity means, but you  will come to feel what unity means, and this I promise you. This is
C:13.1  this Course, for once you have experienced the feeling of unity, you  will need no understanding of it. This is all the exercises that call
C:13.1  and is merely an extension of the first. In this exercise you  will begin to realize that your brothers and sisters are not their
C:13.1  to interact with others and as you observe this interaction, you  will “see” yourself and others in a new light. Your body will seem
C:13.1  you will “see” yourself and others in a new light. Your body  will seem more connected with those of the others it interacts with,
C:13.1  more connected with those of the others it interacts with, for they  will be grouped together in your observation of them. It will not be
C:13.1  for they will be grouped together in your observation of them. It  will not be only others you observe but yourself and others, placing
C:13.1  This seeming togetherness of bodies is just a first step that  will take you beyond the illusion of bodies to togetherness of spirit.
C:13.2  what you already know of the spirit of the person you observe. You  will be amazed at the knowledge you already have and the joy it
C:13.3  recollection, and the more you practice them the more true memory  will return to you. Do not apply any effort to these exercises,
C:13.3  exercise just the tiniest bit of consistent practice, however, it  will soon become routine to you, for you will want to continuously
C:13.3  practice, however, it will soon become routine to you, for you  will want to continuously experience the pleasure that it brings.
C:13.4  It is best to leave words off this experience as, if you do not, you  will soon be ascribing some attributes to one spirit and not to
C:13.5 You  will soon find that what you recall of spirit is love. You will want
C:13.5 You will soon find that what you recall of spirit is love. You  will want to give it many names at first, and might not even
C:13.5  many names at first, and might not even recognize it as love, for it  will come without all the longing and sadness you so often associate
C:13.5  come and with them the realization that while no two spirits  will seem exactly the same, they also are not “different.” The love
C:13.5  exactly the same, they also are not “different.” The love from each  will fill you with happiness because it is already complete and has
C:13.5  sense of longing or sadness of any kind. Because it is complete, it  will ask nothing of you, but will seem to offer you a warm welcome,
C:13.5  of any kind. Because it is complete, it will ask nothing of you, but  will seem to offer you a warm welcome, as if you are a long lost
C:13.6  This is the new “proof” that, while not scientific or verifiable,  will offer you the evidence you seek to confirm the truth of what you
C:13.8 While you  will not realize it at first, because you have no experience but only
C:13.8  no experience but only memory of feeling yourself in such a way, you  will eventually realize that the memories you recall of the spirit of
C:13.10 Your ego  will strongly resist your attempts to listen to your heart, and will
C:13.10  ego will strongly resist your attempts to listen to your heart, and  will call this every kind of foolishness, a waste of time that could
C:13.11  of others and yourself be shattered? Oh yes, and rightly so. Gladly  will you let them go and, if you trust yourself, all the evidence
C:13.11  against your brother that you have stored up in your lifetime  will be let go as well.
C:13.12 Each of you  will initially find it difficult to accept the innocence and
C:13.12  innocence and sinlessness of others and yourself, for your memory  will contain no hint of past misdeeds, errors or mistakes. No one
C:13.12  will contain no hint of past misdeeds, errors or mistakes. No one  will have leveled any hurts on you or anyone else. No reason for
C:13.12  have leveled any hurts on you or anyone else. No reason for guilt  will exist within this memory. No shame or fear is here, and no
C:14.1  in the world that you have made. Think but a minute of this, and you  will begin to see the enormity of the difference in these two
C:14.12  look at it with eyes that truly see. It is the magnifying glass that  will allow you to see your world in all its mad confusion. For what
C:14.18  And when you cease to exist, so does your universe. The lights  will be turned out upon it and it will be no more.
C:14.18  so does your universe. The lights will be turned out upon it and it  will be no more.
C:14.19  it get away! It too must be maintained within your universe, or you  will know it not and its benefits will escape and be lost to you. You
C:14.19  within your universe, or you will know it not and its benefits  will escape and be lost to you. You wish that you could join with it
C:14.19  one rich in oil, another in grain, you set up dependencies that  will keep you linked. Some of you do this quite obviously, and over
C:14.23  be gained by some and not by others, a pinnacle of achievement that  will prove your rightness and your success after you are gone. Love
C:14.26 While your purpose remains to make yourself and others special, you  will not put an end to the separation. And you cannot just let go of
C:14.29  love with the special ones on whom you choose to bestow it, you  will know love not. What you will know is specialness, raised to the
C:14.29  on whom you choose to bestow it, you will know love not. What you  will know is specialness, raised to the level of the Almighty and set
C:15.3 While you desire specialness for yourself, your true Self  will remain hidden and unknown, and since this is a Course that seeks
C:15.3  true identity, specialness must be seen for what it is so that you  will desire it no longer. You can have specialness or your true Self,
C:15.3  and deception. Be truthful as you examine yourself and you  will see that this is so.
C:15.10  something new, something worthy of your diligence and something that  will not leave behind your brothers and your sisters to a life of
C:15.11  you must leave behind. And there is a way to do so, a way that  will not harm any of those you love even while betraying all they
C:15.12  join with him and with your Father. In this choice lies one united  will for glory that knows neither specialness nor separation. In this
C:16.6  instead what it is looking for. What you are looking for is what you  will find, but finding it does not make it the truth, except as it is
C:16.11  judge, and only your split mind that has made of this memory what  will serve its purpose. What it calls a deficiency is your saving
C:16.13  self, and if you do not watch out for your own safety, surely you  will perish. Yet while you watch vigilantly you know that you cannot
C:16.15  it, you live as if you believe that what has never worked before  will somehow miraculously work in the future. You have nothing but
C:16.20  know the saying not believe in the tenets it represents. This, you  will claim, you have evidence for. It is all around you. The strong
C:16.22  suffer hardship. Yet it is often only those who suffer hardship who  will rise up and claim the power that is their own instead of looking
C:17.2  that has never left it. It is the reunion of these two selves that  will bring about the completion of the universe and the return of
C:17.3  know what was previously unknown to you can remove the fear, if you  will let it.
C:17.4  of it as if it would change the nature of the universe itself. It  will change your perception of it. This is both what you desire and
C:17.5  you would rather not know, and therefore must be bad, are what  will be revealed. And yet all the evidence of your own thoughts will
C:17.5  what will be revealed. And yet all the evidence of your own thoughts  will reveal to you your willingness to accept the bad about yourself
C:17.16  your heart is to only give thought to forgiveness. This many of you  will give, even to deciding to forgive despite your better judgment.
C:18.9  heart, or wholeheartedness. A half-hearted approach to this learning  will not work, nor will the attention of a split mind. It cannot be
C:18.9  A half-hearted approach to this learning will not work, nor  will the attention of a split mind. It cannot be emphasized strongly
C:18.9  would be like any more than you can now imagine what a united world  will be like. You did not understand, from unity's standpoint, what
C:18.11 The experience of unity  will alter your belief system and that of others, for what you learn
C:18.16  your orientation from mind to heart. This is a first step in what  will seem now like an attempt to balance two separate things, but is
C:18.16  is but a mind in which love rules, and mind and heart are one. We  will proceed by calling this wholeheartedness rather than mind or
C:19.1  and you could not fully experience anything without your free  will. A separate self with a free will operating in an external
C:19.1  anything without your free will. A separate self with a free  will operating in an external world, as well as a spirit self
C:19.3  experience rejoice, for you can choose a new experience. Your free  will has not been taken from you, nor has the power of creation
C:19.4  of glorifying the separated self and to let the world be what it is  will begin the transformation. This requires the first unification,
C:19.12 Your belief in your brothers and sisters  will not be total, however, without the reunion of mind and heart
C:19.15  to know your own Self—it is obvious that another's experience  will not bring this knowledge to you, not even my experience. If this
C:19.16  you remain here, even experiences beyond thoughts and words you  will apply word and thought to. Yet love has often brought you close
C:19.18  and thus of training before you can be aware of the answer you  will receive. It is clear you can ask for what you know not. This is
C:19.18  the separate self and to believe in the possibility of response, you  will find yourself more afraid to ask. All your asking or prayer
C:19.20  all you long for is nearer than ever before. To talk of going “back”  will undoubtedly make you feel impatient, but this is not a going
C:19.20  make you feel impatient, but this is not a going back that  will in any way resemble the “going back” that you have tried to do
C:19.20  a request to review your life, it is the last such review that  will be required before letting the past go completely. All your
C:19.20  attempts to go back have been like attempts to pay a debt that  will never go away. This going back will leave you debt free and thus
C:19.20  like attempts to pay a debt that will never go away. This going back  will leave you debt free and thus free in truth.
C:19.21  reflection arising from a deep pool. Here what is in need of healing  will but briefly come to the surface and leave the hidden depths
C:19.21  glance of compassion, the merest moment of reflection, before it  will dissipate and show a new reflection.
C:19.22  of truth from illusion. Despite the similarity between what this  will call forth and the description of the final judgment, judgment
C:19.23  of right-mindedness. Your willingness to accept me as your teacher  will help you to accept my sight as your own and thus to be
C:19.23  back in judgment is not what is required here. Only the opposite  will advance our aim of uniting mind and heart.
C:19.24  is light, and the only light in which you can truly see. You  will not truly desire to unite your mind and heart in
C:20.2  head against my breast as I stroke your hair and assure you that it  will be all right. Realize that this is the whole world, the
C:20.12  the wholeness of all life. The whole exists untroubled by what it  will be. It is.
C:20.17  the one identity. When you realize the oneness of your identity you  will be one with Christ. Christ is synonymous with oneness.
C:20.24 Forget yourself and memory  will return to you. Beyond your personal self and the identity you
C:20.31  Your actions and the results of your actions in a universe of love  will naturally be different from your actions and the results of your
C:20.32  true power is acceptance of your God-given authority via your free  will. When I beseeched my Father, saying, “They know not what they
C:20.33 The rest of the universe, existing in a state of compassionate free  will devoid of fear, knows what it does. There are no opposing forces
C:20.34  this may seem to be metaphorical language it is not. Listen and you  will hear. Hear, and you cannot help but rejoice in the dance.
C:20.35  you do comes from existing within the embrace. You know you do the  will of God because you are at one with that will.
C:20.35  You know you do the will of God because you are at one with that  will.
C:20.36  have in the “if onlys” of fear, all the certainty I have spoken of  will be yours.
C:20.38  flow from love. Hope is a willingness to ask for help, believing it  will come. Hope is the reason and the outcome for which we pray. Hope
C:20.41 What you each have been given is that which  will serve your purpose. You could have no more perfect gifts, for
C:20.41  are except when you give in to making judgments. Look deeply and you  will see that what you would call your imperfections are as chosen
C:20.43  beings of perfection. When you begin to see them as such, what you  will receive from them is far grander than anything you would before
C:20.44 Your thinking  will begin to change to reflect your recognition of reception.
C:20.44  of reception. Reception and welcome are highly linked. You  will find you are welcome to all the gifts you recognize in your
C:20.44  gifts you recognize in your brothers and sisters just as you freely  will offer yours to serve them. To serve rather than to use is an
C:20.44  to use is an enormous change in thinking, feeling, and acting. It  will immediately make the world a kinder, gentler place. And it is
C:20.45  remain cognizant of this distinction between serving and service. It  will be helpful if you keep in mind that the idea of to serve is
C:20.45  resistance to expecting willingness is another key change that  will lead toward wholeheartedness. When you change your actions from
C:20.45  and use to those of being willing to serve and be served, it  will assist not only you and your peacefulness, but will bring
C:20.45  be served, it will assist not only you and your peacefulness, but  will bring peacefulness to the world as well.
C:21.2  of parts that the holiness of what is in-between is found. This  will be discussed in more detail later, but for now, I return you,
C:21.4  assistance. To begin to conceptualize in ways that touch your heart  will free your mind of its reliance on thought concepts, thus
C:21.7  as long as mind and heart interpret meaning in different ways you  will not find peace. You have, in the past, accepted these different
C:21.7  path you follow, the path of the mind or the path of the heart, you  will not get where you are wanting to go until they are joined. You
C:21.7  wholeheartedness. The path of neither mind nor heart alone  will take you where the path of unity will take you, and the journey
C:21.7  neither mind nor heart alone will take you where the path of unity  will take you, and the journey will not be the same.
C:21.7  will take you where the path of unity will take you, and the journey  will not be the same.
C:21.9  you can determine meaning, and while only a wholehearted approach  will determine true meaning, the truth is the truth and does not
C:22.1 We  will talk much more of imagining now, and you may, at first, be
C:22.1  for such activity. Your thoughts regarding imagining and imagination  will change with your change in perspective on use. You will no
C:22.1  imagination will change with your change in perspective on use. You  will no longer be using your imagination but letting your imagination
C:22.2 We  will be letting images serve as learning devices. They will enhance
C:22.2 We will be letting images serve as learning devices. They  will enhance our use of language so that our language becomes one for
C:22.2  so that our language becomes one for both head and heart. We  will begin by discussing the concept of intersection and look at it
C:22.2  as yet discussed how this relationship is provided in form. Now we  will do so.
C:22.12  and all that is sitting as that to which you have determined you  will, at some later date, get around to assigning meaning.
C:22.20  eventually to tell stories without the use of the “I” pronoun. This  will seem, at first, as if it is depersonalizing the world and making
C:22.20  if it is depersonalizing the world and making it less intimate. It  will seem as if you are shirking some primal responsibility to assign
C:22.22  as definition to meaning as truth. As odd and impersonal as it  will seem at first, I assure you the feeling of impersonality will be
C:22.22  as it will seem at first, I assure you the feeling of impersonality  will be replaced quickly with an intimacy with your surroundings that
C:22.23 This intimacy itself  will allow you to see your “self” as an integral part of all that
C:22.23  universal becomes available. As the universal becomes available, you  will have no desire for the personal. Even so, you will find that
C:22.23  available, you will have no desire for the personal. Even so, you  will find that what you consider your individuality or uniqueness is
C:22.23  but that it is different than you have always imagined it to be. You  will find that you fulfill a grand purpose, and have a wonderful part
C:22.23  purpose, and have a wonderful part to play in a grand design. You  will not feel cheated by losing your separated self. You will feel
C:22.23  design. You will not feel cheated by losing your separated self. You  will feel free.
C:23.2 The lessons learned from love  will go a long way in assuaging your remaining fears about the loss
C:23.2  fears about the loss of your individuality that you believe  will accompany the loss of your separated self. For, as each of you
C:23.10  as well. Think of the way in which the word body is used and this  will be clear. The body politic. A body of knowledge. Belief fostered
C:23.13  is required to cause this to be so. It is what is necessary now. It  will change the world.
C:23.15  are free of this misperception, this inaccurate belief, your body  will be freed. It will no longer be an object of use but a means of
C:23.15  misperception, this inaccurate belief, your body will be freed. It  will no longer be an object of use but a means of service.
C:23.16 Freeing your perception from your nearly immutable belief in form  will allow for all changes in form required by the miracle. Form is
C:23.22  the belief. It is the composite of your beliefs, the totality. It  will continue to hold former beliefs as well as new beliefs until old
C:23.24  opportunities call for a period of engagement with life. Many of you  will have begun to experience unlearning opportunities even while
C:23.24  with life cannot be avoided, however, and your attempts to avoid it  will only cause an increase in feelings generated by experiences of
C:23.24  of duality. While you hold conflicting beliefs within you, you  will be conflicted and affected by polarity. Unlearning allows you to
C:23.25  From this point forward, I assure you, all experiences  will be thus until unlearning is no longer needed. If you will
C:23.25  will be thus until unlearning is no longer needed. If you  will remember that the one exercise for your mind is dedicating all
C:23.25  one exercise for your mind is dedicating all thought to union, you  will keep your mind engaged and less resistant to unlearning. When
C:23.25  to unlearning. When you feel resistance—and of course your mind  will resist unlearning what it has striven to learn—return your
C:23.26 What  will happen when you look at each situation as a challenge to your
C:23.26  not remember that you are involved in a process of unlearning that  will lead to the conviction you have so long sought, you will indeed
C:23.26  that will lead to the conviction you have so long sought, you  will indeed feel tested and will try to take control of the learning
C:23.26  conviction you have so long sought, you will indeed feel tested and  will try to take control of the learning situation. Not taking
C:23.26  beliefs. As long as you attempt to remain in control, old beliefs  will not be purged.
C:23.29  learn previously? What are the lessons? What is the curriculum? How  will you know when you have achieved a learning objective? Yet how
C:23.29  and translated into beliefs. Only your own life experiences  will reverse the process.
C:24.1 Where you learned to hate, you  will learn to love. Where you learned to fear, you will learn safety.
C:24.1  to hate, you will learn to love. Where you learned to fear, you  will learn safety. Where you learned to distrust, you will learn
C:24.1  to fear, you will learn safety. Where you learned to distrust, you  will learn trust. And each learning experience will be a learning
C:24.1  to distrust, you will learn trust. And each learning experience  will be a learning experience because it will touch your heart. It
C:24.1  each learning experience will be a learning experience because it  will touch your heart. It may be as simple as a smile from a child
C:24.1  may feel as if everything makes you want to cry because everything  will touch you, each lesson will feel tender. Unlearning has no
C:24.1  makes you want to cry because everything will touch you, each lesson  will feel tender. Unlearning has no harshness about it. If you simply
C:24.1  has no harshness about it. If you simply allow it to come, it  will reward you constantly with what can best be described as
C:24.4  love touch your heart. No lessons that do not touch your heart  will accomplish anything. The purpose of the final lessons are both
C:24.4  attention, being present. These are the lessons with which we  will conclude.
C:25.6  have projected your fear onto them. Only when you cease to do this  will you feel true devotion.
C:25.8  devotion is practiced, is useful during the time of tenderness. It  will lead to the understanding of oneness as completion, an
C:25.9  Course and no longer feel duped by life. All of your contests of  will are supported by your contention that you have been misled. It
C:25.10  to acquire some perceived ideal separated state, then all action  will be out of harmony. If, however, you have accepted the basic
C:25.10  Course and believe you are here to realize unity, then all action  will be in harmony. If you believe you and your brothers and sisters
C:25.10  in a state of reprisal, having fallen from grace, then all action  will be out of harmony. If you believe you and all other living
C:25.10  other living things are here in a state of grace, then all action  will be in harmony. If you believe one living thing is more important
C:25.10  one living thing is more important than any other, then all action  will be out of harmony. If you believe all are essential, then all
C:25.10  be out of harmony. If you believe all are essential, then all action  will be in harmony.
C:25.12  separated and vulnerable state. During the time of tenderness, you  will learn, through the practice of devotion, to identify and reject
C:25.13  time of tenderness is a time of healing, and as you are healed you  will realize you are no longer vulnerable to being wounded. Fear of
C:25.13  While you think you can remain disappointed or disillusioned, you  will not be invulnerable. There is always, behind every
C:25.13  believe feelings of lack of love come from anywhere but within, you  will not be invulnerable.
C:25.14  or an excuse to challenge the mighty forces of humanity or nature,  will eventually lose the game they play. True invulnerability can
C:25.14  who recognize it as part of their true identity. Invulnerability  will then serve you and your brothers and sisters. Its service is one
C:25.16  this Course is about. Living from love. Living from love is what  will reverse the lessons of the past. Reversing the lessons of the
C:25.16  the lessons of the past. Reversing the lessons of the past is what  will allow you to live in love in every instance.
C:25.18  you begin to live love, a reverse of what you might expect to happen  will happen. While you may expect that everything will take on
C:25.18  expect to happen will happen. While you may expect that everything  will take on greater importance, the reverse will at first be true.
C:25.18  expect that everything will take on greater importance, the reverse  will at first be true. You will see little in what you do that
C:25.18  take on greater importance, the reverse will at first be true. You  will see little in what you do that matters. You will wonder why you
C:25.18  first be true. You will see little in what you do that matters. You  will wonder why you are unconcerned about many of the things you have
C:25.18  seem to have less purpose. You may begin to wonder what to do. You  will almost certainly question what you do for a “living.” You will
C:25.18  You will almost certainly question what you do for a “living.” You  will question many patterns and habits.
C:25.19  be tinged with anxiety, anger, confusion, perplexity, even rage. You  will doubt that these are the proper feelings of a person living
C:25.19  common feelings of unlearning, and should be accepted as such. You  will learn that while some things you have done and will continue to
C:25.19  as such. You will learn that while some things you have done and  will continue to do may not matter, they may still be done with
C:25.19  matter, they may still be done with patience, grace, and love. You  will learn that other things you have done, beliefs you have held,
C:25.19  beliefs you have held, patterns and habits that have occupied you,  will not accompany you into your life of love. These you will leave
C:25.19  you, will not accompany you into your life of love. These you  will leave behind.
C:25.20  created, and a desire to create anew. At this stage, this desire  will come from a feeling of needing to reassert the self. This need
C:25.20  will come from a feeling of needing to reassert the self. This need  will arise as you realize that you can take no credit for your life.
C:25.20  desire to create may be linked with ego as well. Your personal self  will be looking for a place in which to reside. It will be looking
C:25.20  personal self will be looking for a place in which to reside. It  will be looking for identity. It will want to say: “This is who I
C:25.20  for a place in which to reside. It will be looking for identity. It  will want to say: “This is who I am.” This is an exciting sign, for
C:25.20  is losing hold. Be patient during this time, and your new identity  will emerge. If the urge to create is strong, certainly let it serve
C:25.20  for praise or acknowledgment of your creations at this time. You  will soon realize that creation is not of, or for, the personal self.
C:25.21 This  will be a time of discernment. You may feel it as a time of decision
C:25.21  you attempt to make conscious decisions the quicker your unlearning  will take place and the lessons of discernment occur. Discernment is
C:25.22  being still and awaiting wisdom. Your feeling of being identity-less  will make decision-making and choices of all kinds appear to be
C:25.22  of unlearning. At the same time, however, decisions and choices  will seem to need to be made with increasing frequency. Your feeling
C:25.22  Your feeling of needing to make new choices, while strong,  will not necessarily reflect real need but rather an impatience with
C:25.22  need but rather an impatience with the way things are and were. You  will want to force change rather than wait for it to arrive. If you
C:25.22  change that does not necessarily require action on your part, you  will feel some relief.
C:25.23  posing the question or concern that is in need of appropriate action  will suffice. When an answer comes to you, acknowledge that it is an
C:25.23  from your new identity and express appreciation for it. While you  will at times doubt that you have received an answer or that the
C:25.23  an answer or that the answer you have received is correct, you  will soon learn to trust this quiet process of discernment. You will
C:25.23  you will soon learn to trust this quiet process of discernment. You  will know you have succeeded when you truly feel as if you have
C:25.24  contrary to usual patterns of action you have taken in the past, you  will often meet resistance. Try to be lighthearted at such times and
C:25.24  try the new way. Remind yourself that you have nothing to lose. You  will soon learn that this is so. You will also soon realize why this
C:25.24  you have nothing to lose. You will soon learn that this is so. You  will also soon realize why this time of engagement with life is
C:26.1  and adventure, friendships, or financial security. Most of you  will think of having a long life.
C:26.8  to become involved with life. I say we because I am with you and  will not leave your side. I say we because your first involvement is
C:26.9 You do not yet, but  will soon realize the happiness that is ours. Your mind can just not
C:26.10  might mean, who strive to find the clues to what they ask you to do,  will find it difficult to cease your struggle and your striving. You
C:26.12  by the day? Are you not anxious to say: “Tell me what to do and I  will do it?” Are you not ready for certainty above all else? Are you
C:26.20 I cannot tell you here what you  will hear. How can I, when each of you will hear the answer of your
C:26.20  cannot tell you here what you will hear. How can I, when each of you  will hear the answer of your heart? The calling of love to love
C:26.22  invention or artistic idea is the completion of the pattern that  will make that idea a masterpiece. An idea is irrevocably linked with
C:26.24  it not. Your life here is much like a search for your story. Where  will this chapter lead? What will the end be like? Was one event a
C:26.24  like a search for your story. Where will this chapter lead? What  will the end be like? Was one event a mistake and another a blessing
C:26.25  spend each day in review or speculation. What has happened and what  will happen next? You attempt to rewrite previous chapters and to
C:27.5  Self. Once you have identified your true Self all such confusion  will end.
C:27.7  through relationship, your concerns about concentration on the self  will end. Life is not a matter of self versus other. Life is a matter
C:27.8  of unity. Thus your relationship with Christ always was and always  will be. Your task here is to come to know that relationship once
C:27.16  you pray whether you should pray for specific outcomes or for God's  Will to be done. You fear being a miracle worker because you do not
C:27.16  You fear being a miracle worker because you do not think that you  will ever know what is called for.
C:27.17 As you learn to live in relationship in the present, this confusion  will pass. Your relationship will guide you surely to the proper
C:27.17  in the present, this confusion will pass. Your relationship  will guide you surely to the proper response. I use the term “proper”
C:27.18 Does an understanding of the relationship of all things mean that you  will have power that is not of this world? Will you see the future
C:27.18  all things mean that you will have power that is not of this world?  Will you see the future and the past, be cognizant of destiny and of
C:27.19  to be. It is a knowing felt within the heart for which there still  will be no proof, but for which there will be the certainty you
C:27.19  heart for which there still will be no proof, but for which there  will be the certainty you heretofore have lacked. The typical fears
C:27.19  have lacked. The typical fears you have experienced in the past  will not arise within this knowing.
C:27.20 How  will you know when you have achieved the state of grace in which you
C:27.20  which you were created, and that you are living in relationship? You  will know by the certainty you feel. If you do not feel this
C:27.21 You are ready now, and all that  will you prevent you from living a life of love is unwillingness to
C:27.21  is only one remaining source of such unwillingness. Your willingness  will now depend on whether or not you trust. Do you trust these
C:28.4  This sharing of personal testimony has reached its zenith and  will no longer be as welcomed or appreciated, so even were the intent
C:28.12  now, “Are you saying to do nothing?” At the thought of this you  will be aghast and, what is more, bitterly disappointed. Again, as in
C:28.13  is where you are supposed to be. The path to follow to all changes  will be shown to you if you will but be attentive. If you follow the
C:28.13  to be. The path to follow to all changes will be shown to you if you  will but be attentive. If you follow the way that is shown to you,
C:28.13  If you follow the way that is shown to you, all uncertainty  will end. Uncertainty is where difficulty lies. Certainty and ease as
C:28.13  for you to make. There is only a call for a dedicated and devoted  will, a will dedicated to the present moment, to those who are sent

C:29.2  it with a lack of free will, a lack of choice, a course that  will lead you to a subservient stature. Others think of it in terms
C:29.4  your goals. These adjustments in your attitude toward service  will bring about the completion of the cycle of giving and receiving,

C:29.14 No wholeness  will be possible for you while you look at life in terms of

C:30.5  toward what might be called universal consciousness, though you  will not know it when it is at first achieved. For universal
C:30.11  the Course is speaking of now, in essence, is gain without loss. You  will never be aware of gain without loss while you believe in what is
C:30.11  some proof or validation. You might think if you are “right” you  will be successful, if you are “successful” you will be secure, if
C:30.11  you are “right” you will be successful, if you are “successful” you  will be secure, if you are “good” you will prosper. You do not see
C:30.11  if you are “successful” you will be secure, if you are “good” you  will prosper. You do not see these ways of thinking as ideas
C:31.1 There is only one Mind, just as there is only one  Will. This you are afraid of, as you believe this statement threatens
C:31.10 Give up this notion of losing your Self to God, and you  will be done for all time with resisting God. Only in God can you

C:31.14  of giving and receiving that, being finally and totally understood,  will free you to be wholehearted.
C:31.16  safe, acceptable, presentable. The portion that your ego has deemed  will cause you no risk. It is the ego that asks: Are you certain that
C:31.16  ego that asks: Are you certain that if you share that feeling, you  will still be loved? Are you certain that if you reveal that secret,
C:31.16  still be loved? Are you certain that if you reveal that secret, you  will still be safe? Are you certain that if you try something new,
C:31.16  still be safe? Are you certain that if you try something new, you  will still be accepted? It is the ego that deems honesty a game; the
C:31.28  If you but change what you look for, what you see and what you learn  will also change.
C:31.36  You also seek to know your brothers and sisters so that you  will come to know what to expect from them. Once you have determined
C:32.2  learning mode you are most comfortable. All learning modes, however,  will eventually return you to the Source, which is Love. The
C:32.2  are of one Mind and one Heart, and that regardless of this truth you  will not, in coming to know and experience this, lose your Self. The
C:32.3  join in wholeheartedness in the embrace. You are home, and there you  will forever stay.
C:32.5  away. Give to me the thoughts that remain to trouble you and I  will return them to you transformed by Love. Do not grieve your

T1:1.1  and the means are sought for the union of being with that which  will provide for peace. Knowing not what this is, is the source of
T1:1.2  of this state of being requires further guidance. Thus this Treatise  will attempt to give specific examples of what to look for as your
T1:1.2  responses from those of a split mind. Its further purpose  will be to identify the service that you can provide once your
T1:1.4  and learned from. It is in the present-moment experience that you  will receive the blessing of being able to respond differently to
T1:1.5  is that of separating illusion from the truth. This act  will require no effort for what you have learned in this Course has
T1:1.5  situation that re-enacts a previous learning experience arises, you  will, if you trust your heart, be perfectly able to identify illusion
T1:1.5  recognizing meaning. All that you believe you learned from illusion  will have no meaning to you now and will allow you to give up any
T1:1.5  you learned from illusion will have no meaning to you now and  will allow you to give up any remnants of false learning you
T1:1.5  All that you learned in error from identifying love incorrectly  will be relearned as love is properly identified.
T1:1.6  instructed you to trust in your heart, your reunited mind and heart  will now be called to act in unison. That A Course of Love instructed
T1:1.10 The joy that  will come to you from the thoughts of a mind joined in union will be
T1:1.10  that will come to you from the thoughts of a mind joined in union  will be unparalleled in your experience here. “Ah,” you will say with
T1:1.10  in union will be unparalleled in your experience here. “Ah,” you  will say with a relief and joy that knows no bounds, “this is what it
T1:1.10  only illusion and called it reality, the mind joined in union  will now, more and more, recognize only truth and experience only the
T1:1.11 You can already imagine what an extensive change this  will bring, and, as you are still experiencing change in time,
T1:2.10  It is only your attention to the existence of this higher order that  will reveal its laws to you. These are the laws of God or the laws of
T1:2.12  but a dialogue to which you have not responded. The art of thought  will free you to respond.
T1:2.17  higher world and the eternal. It binds you to all those who have and  will experience the sunset by being a shared experience. It is there
T1:2.20  in relation to a sunset, its application to all areas of life  will at first seem quite demanding. But what is elementary remains
T1:3.1  to memory in terms of your experience here. In other words they  will relate to the re-experiencing of all that you believe has shaped
T1:3.9  you would feel that you had not requested a bigger miracle. You  will almost feel panic at the thought of such a choice being put
T1:3.9  panic at the thought of such a choice being put before you. If you  will agree to choose a miracle at all, which many of you will balk at
T1:3.9  you. If you will agree to choose a miracle at all, which many of you  will balk at doing, you want to choose the “right” miracle. Some of
T1:3.9  otherwise about yourself. If you ask for a cure for a disease, how  will you know that this cure is a miracle and not the result of
T1:3.12  no idle request. Whatever is necessary to convince you now is what I  will provide. Such is the urgency of the time, the urgency for the
T1:3.14  hold this thought within your mind. What is needed to convince you  will be provided. Such is the urgency of your return to unity. If not
T1:3.14  is the urgency of your return to unity. If not now, then soon, you  will be asked to make this final choice, this choice to leave fear
T1:3.16  consider your objections to miracles one-by-one for in so doing we  will uncover the source of all your fears as well as the Source of
T1:3.17 First you  will say you have no objections to miracles, only to having them
T1:3.17  through you. Your lack of willingness to perform miracles, you  will say, stems from your unworthiness to perform miracles. Your
T1:3.23 Although many more fears might prevail upon you, we  will consider only one further fear, the fear of making the wrong
T1:4.2  the miracles that express the truth of who you are. This Treatise  will put your instruction fully under my guidance and allow you to
T1:4.10 Think of all you now feel responsible for and this lesson  will become more clear. While your first thoughts will automatically
T1:4.10  and this lesson will become more clear. While your first thoughts  will automatically go to a lengthy list of those concerns associated
T1:4.10  of those concerns associated with the survival of the body, they  will miss a whole aspect of concerns associated with keeping others
T1:4.14  Would not this kind of a creator be at odds with the concept of free  will?
T1:4.17  are an independent thinker, something you have prized. Some of you  will accept another's interpretation of meaning if it is helpful to
T1:4.20  that is uniquely your own is as nothing compared to the joy that  will come to you from a response that is uniquely you. But you must
T1:4.20  interpretation before you can learn to respond. I realize that this  will concern you while you continue to not realize the difference
T1:4.21  stated, the first opportunities for you to learn the art of thought  will be provided through what we have called the re-experiencing of
T1:4.21  to re-experience the lessons your life has brought you. You  will experience the same lessons in the same way, rather than in a
T1:4.21  thought rather than the thinking of the ego-mind. The art of thought  will reveal the truth to you. The thinking of the ego-mind would
T1:4.26  of this confusion sink in, for this is the reversal in thinking that  will pave the way for all the rest. Because of this confusion you
T1:4.27  has not been reconciled with your experience here. This is what we  will now seek to do by putting an end to fear and ushering in, with
T1:5.8  is real. Nothing is as real as everything, and is what some of you  will or have experienced as a “dark night of the soul.” To realize
T1:5.9  the heart where the real Self abides. There is nothing else that  will free who you are but freedom from the ego's thought system. That
T1:5.9  of study and the reason, when you have freed your self, that you  will look back and see how easy this one choice really is.
T1:5.12  You must experience the reality of the new thought system or it  will remain forever theoretical. You must let go of the foundation of
T1:5.13  system by being willing to replace the old with the new. While this  will at first be a learned activity, and as such have its moments of
T1:5.13  it is learned only in the sense of practicing the mindfulness that  will allow the memory of it to return to you.
T1:5.14  different expressions of the union of mind and heart. Mindfulness  will aid you in remembering. Wholeheartedness will aid you in
T1:5.14  and heart. Mindfulness will aid you in remembering. Wholeheartedness  will aid you in reconciling the laws of God with the laws of man.
T1:5.14  the laws of God with the laws of man. Through mindfulness you  will remember who you are. Through wholeheartedness you will be who
T1:5.14  you will remember who you are. Through wholeheartedness you  will be who are.
T1:5.15 It is in this way that you  will enter a time of miracles, put an end to suffering, and thus
T1:6.1  truth is always present and can be neither learned nor unlearned. It  will thus be revealed to you as soon as the learned thought system
T1:6.2 How is this revelation to take place? It  will begin by learning the art of thought as the act of prayer. We
T1:6.9  of heaven through the second coming of Christ, the energy that  will bridge the two worlds.
T1:7.1  be, and the feeling of not being able to be accomplished or complete  will still be with you. Recall the many times you felt certain that a
T1:7.4  how effective they were and no matter how much they spoke the truth  will be to not learn the new.
T1:7.5  possible. If you do not let what you have attained serve you, you  will not realize what this new learning has been for. You may reach
T1:7.5  You may reach an ideal of human satisfaction and happiness, but you  will not go beyond what is human.
T1:8.1  the union of the human and the divine, the manifestation of the  Will of God. I have told you that you are no different than I was.
T1:8.2  the life.” What I was in life was the manifestation, in form, of the  Will of God. Thus too have you been. God is the giver of life, thus
T1:8.2  Thus too have you been. God is the giver of life, thus life is God's  Will. But with my resurrection, which was accomplished for all, the
T1:8.5  Word incarnate upon my resurrection rather than upon my birth. This  will seem confusing given your definition of incarnation as the Word
T1:8.17  and mind. Lest you think that this union is not all-encompassing, we  will reflect a moment here on how the art of thought brings all you
T1:9.1  virgin or unaltered self. The practice of the art of thought is what  will complete the return begun through the coursework in A Course of
T1:9.1  the return begun through the coursework in A Course of Love. This  will bring about the union of the male and female, of conception and
T1:9.11 What  will it mean to bring about the union of the male and female, of
T1:9.11  of conception and action, of inspiration and manifestation? It  will mean union and a time of miracles. It will mean that you are the
T1:9.11  and manifestation? It will mean union and a time of miracles. It  will mean that you are the living Body of Christ.
T1:9.13 Lest you fight these ideas as stereotypical, I  will give just a few brief examples. These I ask you to cull from
T1:9.14  questions to answer as your initial reaction and your response  will likely have taken on different forms. You may for instance, have
T1:9.14  old pattern, or the pattern of the ego. What breaks the ego's hold  will be the second reaction, or the turning away from the old.
T1:9.15  a sense of diminished self-esteem or worthiness. The first  will feel like an intellectual position. The second like a feeling
T1:9.15  Turning away from the intellectual position to one of feeling  will most readily and quickly solve the first. The second will be
T1:9.15  of feeling will most readily and quickly solve the first. The second  will be most readily and quickly overcome by a turn toward reason or
T1:9.15  by a turn toward reason or the intellect. The perceived attack  will have entered at the place where you have placed your highest
T1:9.15  protect and use that which you have most valued. Now your response  will have been changing. You will not see so much to value in what
T1:9.15  you have most valued. Now your response will have been changing. You  will not see so much to value in what has called your ego into action
T1:9.15  not see so much to value in what has called your ego into action and  will turn away from it.
T1:9.16  When the different attributes are merged, male and female  will be no more and wholeness will reign.
T1:9.16  attributes are merged, male and female will be no more and wholeness  will reign.
T1:10.1  center of your Self now and the issues that you choose to deal with  will not affect that core of peace at all. While you may find this
T1:10.1  core of peace at all. While you may find this almost disturbing, you  will not go to extremes to break this peace.
T1:10.2  have asked for it and it has been given to you. To not have it, you  will have to choose not to have it. And this will be tempting on
T1:10.2  To not have it, you will have to choose not to have it. And this  will be tempting on occasion. You will wonder at the lack of extremes
T1:10.2  to choose not to have it. And this will be tempting on occasion. You  will wonder at the lack of extremes in your feelings and want to
T1:10.2  lack of extremes in your feelings and want to bring them back. You  will experience this loss of extremes as a lack. You will think
T1:10.2  them back. You will experience this loss of extremes as a lack. You  will think something is wrong. You will feel this particularly when
T1:10.2  loss of extremes as a lack. You will think something is wrong. You  will feel this particularly when others around you experience
T1:10.2  A friend is experiencing feelings on an extreme level and this  will seem to tell you that this friend is really alive. Whether it be
T1:10.2  that this friend is really alive. Whether it be joy or sorrow, it  will seem real in a way that peace does not. It will seem so human
T1:10.2  be joy or sorrow, it will seem real in a way that peace does not. It  will seem so human that a wave of desire to be fully human will wash
T1:10.2  not. It will seem so human that a wave of desire to be fully human  will wash over you. You will think that this human who has caught
T1:10.2  that a wave of desire to be fully human will wash over you. You  will think that this human who has caught your attention is fully
T1:10.2  attention is fully engaged and fully experiencing the moment. You  will think this is what you want. And I say again that it will not
T1:10.2  You will think this is what you want. And I say again that it  will not matter whether it be joy or sorrow for you are, or have
T1:10.3  How often have you given yourself over to those highs and lows? You  will be tempted to give yourself over once again in this most human
T1:10.3  to give yourself over once again in this most human of ways. You  will cry and laugh for the poignancy of the human experience. This is
T1:10.3  the poignancy of the human experience. This is the known that you  will be tempted not to give up. If you can't be moved from your peace
T1:10.3  the most profound sorrow or the most all-encompassing joy, you  will feel inhuman. You will think that this cannot be where you are
T1:10.3  sorrow or the most all-encompassing joy, you will feel inhuman. You  will think that this cannot be where you are meant to be, what you
T1:10.3  cannot be where you are meant to be, what you are meant to feel. You  will wonder what is wrong with you.
T1:10.4  is not a right or wrong choice but it is a choice. It is your free  will to continue to make this choice.
T1:10.5 You used your free  will to choose the human experience. Now are you willing to use it to
T1:10.5  to become accustomed to joy without sorrow? If you cannot, you  will continue to create hell as well as heaven and will continue the
T1:10.5  you cannot, you will continue to create hell as well as heaven and  will continue the separation between the divine and the human. Is
T1:10.7  would take peace from you. But as you have been told before, you  will be giving up nothing. It will seem as if it is so for a while
T1:10.7  But as you have been told before, you will be giving up nothing. It  will seem as if it is so for a while perhaps. You will continue to be
T1:10.7  up nothing. It will seem as if it is so for a while perhaps. You  will continue to be attracted to those living at the extremes and
T1:10.9 Each of you  will have an experience you look back on, an experience of profound
T1:10.9  or grief that also became an experience of profound learning. You  will think that you would not be who you are now without experiences
T1:10.9  not be who you are now without experiences such as this one. You  will think that I cannot possibly be asking you to give up these
T1:10.13  Yet let the memory of the truth return to you now and you  will see that peace is all you have sought learning to attain. If you
T1:10.13  to attain. If you do not pause now and accept that it is here, you  will not know the Peace of God that is your own Self.
T2:1.1  not as yet recognize is going to be recognized. Once recognized it  will begin to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through
T2:1.1  to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it  will become your identity. We will begin by discussing the nature of
T2:1.1  And finally, through experience, it will become your identity. We  will begin by discussing the nature of treasure.
T2:1.3  value. As this Treatise is not concerned with material treasure, we  will not explore the dimensions of physical treasure except to say
T2:1.3  is capable of being a treasure or being treasured are of the ego. We  will instead assume that you have moved beyond these ego concerns and
T2:1.5  No matter how peaceful this place of rest may at first seem, it  will soon become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in such a place
T2:1.9  performances in a magnificent concert hall or a little spinet that  will grace a living room and invite friends and family to gather
T2:1.11  to any thoughts you have had before. Your thoughts of a grand piano  will never create a grand piano. What kind of thoughts, then, would
T2:1.13  goal, such as that of music lessons or the purchase of a piano, you  will never reach the goals associated with those tangible steps.
T2:1.13  make an instrument unnecessary for a musician or mean that a painter  will not eventually put a brush to a canvas. But it does mean that
T2:1.14  This change in thinking in regards to treasures you do recognize  will pave the way for recognition of treasures you heretofore have
T2:2.7  to recognize the unseen and to imagine the existence of that which  will reveal its true nature and its joy.
T2:3.5  in the world as your Christ-Self rather than as your ego-self that  will aid you in expression. Without expression, the return to unity
T2:3.5  Without expression, the return to unity that has been accomplished  will not be realized.
T2:4.5 You  will almost literally continue to “bump in” to who you think you are
T2:4.19  your awareness of it grows, it is going to raise it to a level you  will come to think of as an ability. As your old way of responding to
T2:4.19  replaces that old pattern with a new pattern of response, you  will begin to see that each new response is the answer to a call that
T2:5.1  request to make of you, as in a call to be a minister, nor that it  will come in but one form, as in a call to action. We have talked
T2:5.1  shone into the darkness and is revelatory in nature. Other calls  will come as announcements, signs, or even as seeming demands. All
T2:5.2  basic level, a means of communication. If you are not listening, you  will not hear the calls that are meant for you. If you are looking
T2:5.2  for you. If you are looking only for a specific type of call, you  will miss many unlearning and learning opportunities. Thus
T2:5.7  fully integrated the truth that giving and receiving are one, you  will not fully believe that needs are not lacks. Until you have fully
T2:5.7  fully integrated the truth that giving and receiving are one, you  will not realize that dependency is a matter of the interdependency
T2:5.7  Thus, all the calls that come to you in the form of signs or demands  will be calls that assist you in integrating this learning and making
T2:5.7  this learning and making it one with who you are. These lessons  will bring who you are into focus within your mind through the
T2:6.2  without the barriers of time you but place upon your thinking, you  will advance this process and more quickly bring about the end of the
T2:6.5  accomplishing anything without taking into account the time that it  will take? Relate this question to our discussion of treasure and you
T2:6.5  take? Relate this question to our discussion of treasure and you  will understand what it is of which I speak. You believe that your
T2:6.6  It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says I am rather than I  will be. I will be is a statement that presumes a future in which you
T2:6.6  an outcome but a certainty. It says I am rather than I will be. I  will be is a statement that presumes a future in which you will be
T2:6.6  be. I will be is a statement that presumes a future in which you  will be someone other than who you are in the present. Unity exists
T2:6.6  Unity exists only in the here and now of the present. There is no  will be in unity. There is only what is. Thus the limits you would
T2:6.10  you think you are, you can begin to see that this change in thinking  will release your heart, returning it to its natural realm. Thus does
T2:7.6 This source is the ego. Even now, the ego  will take every opportunity that arises to prove to you that
T2:7.6  that independence is a far better state than that of dependence. It  will work diligently to convince you that any course that tries to
T2:7.6  be resisted. As long as you continue to listen to your ego you  will not understand giving and receiving as one and will not believe
T2:7.6  to your ego you will not understand giving and receiving as one and  will not believe in it.
T2:7.7  into the living of your life. Each time another thwarts you, you  will be tempted to believe that giving and receiving as one is not
T2:7.7  as one is not taking place. Your previous pattern of behavior  will be quick to assert itself and you will feel resentment and claim
T2:7.7  previous pattern of behavior will be quick to assert itself and you  will feel resentment and claim that the situation is unfair. You will
T2:7.7  you will feel resentment and claim that the situation is unfair. You  will be tempted to withhold as others withhold from you.
T2:7.8  how important it is to living in peace that this pattern be broken?  Will you live in peace only until some “other” breaks your peace?
T2:7.10  much attention, the idea of the desire for change. Certainly there  will continue to be things within your life that are in need of
T2:7.10  for change. But once you have become happier with who you are, you  will, if left un-schooled, turn your attention to others and to
T2:7.10  and to situations you would have be different than they are. You  will want to be a change-agent. You will want to move into the world
T2:7.10  be different than they are. You will want to be a change-agent. You  will want to move into the world and be an active force within it.
T2:7.10  are aims consistent with the teachings of this Course, but what  will prevent you from following the patterns of old as you go out
T2:7.11 The only thing that  will prevent this is your ability to go out into the world and remain
T2:7.13  be of service. For as long as you believe in your independence you  will not accept your dependence. You will not accept giving and
T2:7.13  in your independence you will not accept your dependence. You  will not accept giving and receiving as one if you feel able only to
T2:7.14  and receiving as one. You believe, in other words, that your needs  will be provided for, thus ceasing to be needs. To deny that you are
T2:7.15  not only about choosing what good and helpful parts of yourself you  will share with the world. It is also about giving the world the
T2:7.15  that if you have a need for money or time or honesty or love, it  will be provided.
T2:7.16  as if an active stance toward trust would be distrustful. You thus  will often say that you trust when what you are doing is hoping for a
T2:7.21 While as stated previously, this belief  will at times seem difficult to put into practice, and while your
T2:7.21  you experience giving and receiving being one in truth, your belief  will become true conviction. Your ability to recognize giving and
T2:8.1  to be split by special relationships. While your love relationships  will provide a rich learning ground for you now, they must also now
T2:8.2  who you are within these relationships must be let go. All that  will complement who you are must be received. Thus the nature of many
T2:8.2  to change. Remember now that there is no loss but only gain, or you  will feel threatened by what you will imagine to be loss. Remember
T2:8.2  is no loss but only gain, or you will feel threatened by what you  will imagine to be loss. Remember too the practice of devotion for in
T2:8.3  to the goal of being who you are may at first seem selfish, it  will soon be revealed to be the most sincere form of relationship.
T2:8.3  of relationship. The calls that come to you now as signs and demands  will not only aid you in your realization of who you are and your
T2:8.3  of who you are and your ability to live as who you are, but  will aid all others. This is giving and receiving as one. What you
T2:8.3  aid all others. This is giving and receiving as one. What you gain  will take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will
T2:8.3  gain will take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you  will take nothing from them, and what you are able to give another
T2:8.3  will take nothing from them, and what you are able to give another  will take nothing from you.
T2:8.5  that you know your own truth and an acceptance that that truth  will not change. As we have said that you are not called to a static
T2:8.6  onto the paths of seeking. The truth of yourself that you reveal now  will not become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path now is
T2:8.6  that would take you away from your true Self. Never again  will you be away from home for home is who you are, a “place” you
T2:8.7 How much time  will be saved by an end to empty seeking? You have already arrived
T2:8.7  arrived and need no time to journey any longer. How much time  will be saved by an end to the maintenance required by special
T2:9.3  aspect of treasure relates to your ability to let go. As many of you  will find the idea of letting go of special relationships among the
T2:9.8  already have as the already accomplished. All that you would give  will take nothing away from you.
T2:9.14  thinking has momentarily returned. This does not mean that you  will never be at rest or that you will be constantly seeking to
T2:9.14  This does not mean that you will never be at rest or that you  will be constantly seeking to arrive. As has already been said, you
T2:9.15  you are lacking. Once this perception has shifted, your ego-mind  will cease to be fed by these concerns. What is food for the ego-mind
T2:9.15  food for the ego-mind is fear and the removal of these final fears  will quite literally starve the ego-mind out of existence.
T2:9.16 An understanding of the mutuality of needs  will aid you in being honest about your needs, thus allowing them to
T2:9.16  and ongoing fulfillment is complete. Once this trust is realized you  will no longer think in terms of needs at all. Once you are no longer
T2:9.16  you are no longer concerned with needs and the meeting of needs you  will no longer be concerned with special relationships. You will
T2:9.16  you will no longer be concerned with special relationships. You  will realize that there is no loss but only gain involved in letting
T2:9.17 Holding on to what you think  will meet your needs is like holding your breath. Your breath cannot
T2:9.18  experience on which trust can grow. Once this trust is realized you  will no longer think of trust just as you will no longer think of
T2:9.18  this trust is realized you will no longer think of trust just as you  will no longer think of needs.
T2:9.19 Ceasing to think in these terms  will soon be seen as a valuable ability and a timesaving measure of
T2:9.19  of great magnitude. As these old ways of thinking leave you, you  will be left as who you are in truth.
T2:10.1  to turn the lessons of this Course into a tool, but many of you  will not tire of this work until you succeed. This is how truths
T2:10.4  is contained. The technology that has created super-computers  will immediately come to mind from this illustration. While this
T2:10.10  the universe. The learning you are in need of is the learning that  will call who you are back to your united mind and heart. This is the
T2:10.12  to learn in the same way that you have previously learned, you  will not learn because the “you” that will be involved in the
T2:10.12  have previously learned, you will not learn because the “you” that  will be involved in the learning process will not be the real you.
T2:10.12  because the “you” that will be involved in the learning process  will not be the real you.
T2:11.2  though you now have a much clearer understanding of who you are, you  will find living as who you are in the world difficult as long as you
T2:11.2  old rules, the laws of man rather than the laws of God or love. It  will seem all but impossible to live in relationship when those
T2:11.2  convinced of their separation and still seeking to glorify it. You  will still perceive of the world as operating under the laws of man
T2:11.2  of man and as long as you perceive of the world in such a way you  will be forced to live by its laws. This will cause struggle and, as
T2:11.2  the world in such a way you will be forced to live by its laws. This  will cause struggle and, as you now know that struggle of any kind
T2:11.2  that struggle of any kind alerts you to the presence of ego, you  will continue to do battle with the ego rather than leaving it
T2:11.4  the ego has been the known identity of your existence until now, it  will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that is your
T2:11.4  in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that is your form  will remain with you until your death. But while your perception of
T2:11.8  said, the ego, having been with you from your earliest remembering,  will continue to be with you, in the way that all learned behaviors
T2:11.10  this total reversal of thought concerning yourself and your world  will be difficult you are listening to your ego. The Christ in you
T2:11.15  the ego is real. As long as you believe that the ego is real, you  will feel as if there are two identities that exist within you and
T2:11.15  feel as if there are two identities that exist within you and you  will see yourself as doing battle in countless ways and forms. There
T2:11.15  will see yourself as doing battle in countless ways and forms. There  will never actually be a battle going on between Christ and the ego,
T2:11.15  actually be a battle going on between Christ and the ego, but you  will perceive that such battles exist. You will be prone to calling
T2:11.15  and the ego, but you will perceive that such battles exist. You  will be prone to calling upon the Christ as your higher self to
T2:11.15  world. This battle of good and evil, while you believe in it still,  will be demonstrated before you just as it has been from time
T2:11.16  replacement. As long as you hang on to both identities the world  will not change and you will not know who you are. You may think you
T2:11.16  as you hang on to both identities the world will not change and you  will not know who you are. You may think you know, and you may waste
T2:11.17 I have said that the ego  will remain with you as the identity you have learned since birth
T2:11.17  and wondering, if you have not yet replaced it, how this miracle  will come about. This replacement is indeed a miracle and the very
T2:12.3  here is the service I offer you, the precursor of the service you  will offer to others.
T2:12.4  As such they are agreements. They do not take away free  will but free the will to respond to truth. They are the ultimate
T2:12.4  they are agreements. They do not take away free will but free the  will to respond to truth. They are the ultimate acceptance of giving
T2:12.5 While you continue to feel as if you do not understand miracles, you  will be reluctant to believe in them or to see yourself as a miracle
T2:12.10  and water, light and air. The gardener knows that tending the garden  will help it to flourish and show its abundance. The gardener knows
T2:13.4  as a thinking being. Think not that I was different than you and you  will realize that we are truly one in being with our Father. As you
T2:13.4  forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the time of unity, the truth  will be shared by all.
T3:1.1  present to others. This is the only way in which the personal self  will continue to exist following the completion and the integration
T3:1.3  of the Self that you are is what we work toward in this Treatise and  will lead to true vision and to a new world.
T3:1.4  Thus, as your personal self becomes a representation of the truth it  will become who you are in truth.
T3:1.8  to others and that this is the only way in which the personal self  will now continue to exist. This statement implies and acknowledges
T3:1.8  While when joined with the truth, this representation  will be acknowledged as what it is and as the truth of who you are,
T3:1.10 To say that the personal self  will now exist only as the self you present to others is to say that
T3:1.10  as the self you present to others is to say that the personal self  will now cease to be seen as your reality.
T3:2.3  you have accepted in much the same way you have accepted your free  will as that which allows you to be separate from and independent of
T3:2.9  how much one might try to read meaning into the meaningless, it  will not be found there. The meaningless has no ability to change the
T3:2.13  quickly replaced with a new idea about yourself or its hold on you  will remain.
T3:3.2  “Love me in spite of these traits that are not loveable and then I  will know your love is true.” You make this same statement to
T3:3.9  continue to see the call of this Course as a call to goodness, you  will surely fail.
T3:4.1  own teacher is the only way to learn a new curriculum. This Course  will not call you to effort of any kind. It will not tell you to
T3:4.1  curriculum. This Course will not call you to effort of any kind. It  will not tell you to leave behind your addictions or to go on a diet
T3:4.1  you to leave behind your addictions or to go on a diet or a fast. It  will not even tell you to be kind. It does not tell you to be
T3:4.7  civilizations. But as we have said before, the only replacement that  will work is the replacement of illusion with the truth. The very
T3:4.8 I repeat, and  will do so again and again, that the ego-self is gone from you.
T3:4.8  things: to proceed toward love or fear. If you proceed with fear you  will assemble a new ego-self, an ego-self that perhaps will seem
T3:4.8  with fear you will assemble a new ego-self, an ego-self that perhaps  will seem superior to the old, but which will nonetheless still be an
T3:4.8  an ego-self that perhaps will seem superior to the old, but which  will nonetheless still be an ego-self. If you proceed with love, you
T3:4.8  will nonetheless still be an ego-self. If you proceed with love, you  will come to know your Christ-Self.
T3:5.8  in time, in time extending both forward and back. Each father's son  will die. This means not what you have taken it to mean, an endless
T3:5.8  of generations passing. What this means is that in each the ego  will die and the Self be reborn to life eternal. Without rebirth of
T3:5.8  purpose cannot go unfulfilled. What this means is that the illusion  will be no more and truth will reign. Such is the reign of God.
T3:5.8  What this means is that the illusion will be no more and truth  will reign. Such is the reign of God.
T3:6.2  the meaning of life and death. But this is one of the key ideas that  will keep you from yourself and has much to do with your former
T3:6.4  must still be discussed. While bitterness remains, vengeance  will remain. You have been shown that God is not a God of vengeance
T3:6.5  bitterness is all that you have forced, through sheer strength of  will, to pierce the holiness of your hearts. Bitterness and the idea
T3:6.6  Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling place of Christ and we  will seal the place of its entrance with the sweetness of love so
T3:6.6  place of its entrance with the sweetness of love so that bitterness  will be no more.
T3:8.1  now beyond representations to meaning so that what you represent  will move beyond representations to the truth. Realize here the
T3:8.2  forgotten this, despite the many repetitions of our aim, and you  will be more aware of your resistance and your need to let it go.
T3:8.3  thought system. As long as you carry this bitterness within you, you  will remain in the house of illusion for your feelings are as real to
T3:8.3  other than the truth remains real to you, your house of illusion  will remain a real structure, a structure that keeps you from the
T3:8.8  Why should you not be bitter when you and all of those you love  will surely suffer and eventually die? Why should you not be bitter
T3:8.8  bring about. While such a thought remains inconceivable to you it  will not come to be.
T3:8.9  the representation of the true Self within the House of Truth  will cause the creation of the new.
T3:9.1  idea that says that if you live from love and within love's laws you  will create only love. It is an idea that accepts that this can be
T3:9.2 While you cannot now see the chain of events that  will make these ideas into a new reality, you can trust that they
T3:9.2  will make these ideas into a new reality, you can trust that they  will be there, spreading out like a web, much as the ego's ideas of
T3:9.2  separation once did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned ideas, they  will not take time, as did the ego's ideas, to spread through
T3:9.3  blocks of knowledge, as if learning a new alphabet. Yet you soon  will find that this new reality is known to you and requires no new
T3:9.3  new reality is known to you and requires no new learning at all. You  will be tempted, at first, to see things that are like unto those
T3:9.3  and call them what you called them once before. But here you  will find yourself gently corrected and when this correction is given
T3:9.3  find yourself gently corrected and when this correction is given you  will not doubt it but will remember that it is the truth you had
T3:9.3  and when this correction is given you will not doubt it but  will remember that it is the truth you had forgotten.
T3:9.4 You  will see that the house of illusion was just a structure built within
T3:9.4  benevolent embrace. No one stands beyond the embrace of love and you  will be glad to see that those who remain within the house of
T3:9.5 You  will be tempted, nonetheless, to re-enter the house of illusion, if
T3:9.5  hands of those you love and gently tug them through its doors. You  will be able to take note of the explosions happening within and will
T3:9.5  You will be able to take note of the explosions happening within and  will want to return to add your own to those going on inside,
T3:9.5  on inside, thinking that with the force of one more, maybe the walls  will finally come tumbling down and those inside be held within
T3:10.1  must realize that while meaninglessness exists within your mind, you  will be working still to replace it with meaning rather than allowing
T3:10.1  lessons needed in regard to the life of the body that you now  will let serve our cause of creating heaven on earth.
T3:10.4 Taking away the idea of placing blame  will change your thought processes beyond your wildest imagining. You
T3:10.4  change your thought processes beyond your wildest imagining. You  will be surprised at how many times you recognize blame where before
T3:10.5  easier if a replacement were offered, for ridding your mind of blame  will leave an empty space you will long to fill. This act of
T3:10.5  for ridding your mind of blame will leave an empty space you  will long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to place
T3:10.5  long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to place blame  will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would attach to this
T3:10.5  idea of blame. Although I offer it not as a replacement, what you  will find will come in the place of blame is an idea of acceptance of
T3:10.5  blame. Although 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,
T3:10.6  may come in forms that make them seem like lessons of old, they  will not be repeats of lessons that have come before. They will not
T3:10.6  old, they will not be repeats of lessons that have come before. They  will not be lessons that you find difficult or distressing if you
T3:10.7  reacted to every situation. Not one situation coming to you now  will be a repeat of the past. How can it be when the past was lived
T3:10.7  the simultaneous learning and unlearning that was spoken of earlier  will be able to be realized. You have passed through your time of
T3:10.8 Along with forgetting there is another practice that  will help you to become aware of this change. While much the same as
T3:10.8  to become aware of this change. While much the same as forgetting it  will seem to have a different process in practice. This is the
T3:10.8  rest, be forgotten. The process of forgetting these thought patterns  will be only slightly different from forgetting your former reactions
T3:10.9  distinct from the thoughts of your right mind or Christ-mind. This  will be easy because the thoughts of the ego-mind were always harsh
T3:10.9  and the thoughts that come from the voice of the Christ-mind  will be gentle. The thoughts of the ego-mind will come as disguises
T3:10.9  of the Christ-mind will be gentle. The thoughts of the ego-mind  will come as disguises to certainty. Given just a little practice,
T3:10.9  to certainty. Given just a little practice, these disguises  will be easily seen through and the uncertainty behind them revealed.
T3:10.9  the uncertainty behind them revealed. Thoughts of the Christ-mind  will hold a certainty that cannot be disguised. Remember that all
T3:10.10 You  will feel for a while as if constant certainty is impossible. This
T3:10.10  for a while as if constant certainty is impossible. This feeling  will remain only as long as you remember your past uncertainty.
T3:10.11  remind yourself that the time for uncertainty is past. Uncertainty  will not now come to teach you lessons you have already learned but
T3:10.11  will not now come to teach you lessons you have already learned but  will only visit you as an echo from the past. It is a habit, a
T3:10.11  old thought system. All you must do is not listen to it. Its voice  will not be gentle or full of love. Its voice will hold the
T3:10.11  to it. Its voice will not be gentle or full of love. Its voice  will hold the unmistakable edge of fear.
T3:10.12 Remember that, while gentle, these are and  will, be practical lessons that simply come to show you a new way of
T3:10.12  a new way of living, the way of living in the House of Truth. You  will not need to learn a foreign language to dwell in this new house,
T3:10.12  need to learn a foreign language to dwell in this new house, but you  will need to learn what will at first seem to you a foreign thought
T3:10.12  language to dwell in this new house, but you will need to learn what  will at first seem to you a foreign thought system. This thought
T3:10.12  is the thought system of unity. It is your true thought system and  will be easily remembered once you begin to let it automatically
T3:10.14  the ego thought system, the thought system of your true Self  will quite simply return to your memory. You will soon forget the
T3:10.14  of your true Self will quite simply return to your memory. You  will soon forget the thought system of the ego-self even though, when
T3:10.14  when encountering those who still use that thought system, you  will be able to communicate with them. Yet the ease with which you
T3:10.14  with them. Yet the ease with which you communicate with them  will diminish over time. You will find yourself continuously teaching
T3:10.14  with which you communicate with them will diminish over time. You  will find yourself continuously teaching the language, if you will,
T3:10.14  You will find yourself continuously teaching the language, if you  will, of the new thought system, for you will have no desire to
T3:10.14  the language, if you will, of the new thought system, for you  will have no desire to communicate with anything less.
T3:10.15 You  will find that your new language will gather people to you in much
T3:10.15 You will find that your new language  will gather people to you in much the way people will gravitate
T3:10.15  your new language will gather people to you in much the way people  will gravitate toward beautiful music. Many will be eager to learn
T3:10.15  in much the way people will gravitate toward beautiful music. Many  will be eager to learn what you have remembered because they will
T3:10.15  Many will be eager to learn what you have remembered because they  will realize that the memory of this language exists within them as
T3:10.15  that the memory of this language exists within them as well. It  will come naturally to you to welcome these back to the common
T3:10.15  to the common language of the mind and heart joined in unity. You  will desire more than anything for everyone you encounter to share
T3:10.15  you encounter to share this remembered language. Some, however,  will be resistant.
T3:10.16  practical lessons for the life of the body. They are lessons that  will soon be translated in another way. These lessons that will enter
T3:10.16  that will soon be translated in another way. These lessons that  will enter your mind and heart will, of necessity, need to be
T3:10.16  in another way. These lessons that will enter your mind and heart  will, of necessity, need to be translated into the language of the
T3:10.16  the language of the body as well. While your human form remains, you  will be dwelling among those in human form. While the house of
T3:10.16  those in human form. While the house of illusion still exists, you  will continue to encounter those who exist within it. While you
T3:10.16  continue to encounter those who exist in the house of illusion you  will continue to encounter temptations of the human experience. These
T3:10.16  to encounter temptations of the human experience. These are what we  will now address.
T3:11.10  Their reality does not exist. Believing in the reality of illusion  will never make it the truth.
T3:11.15 You  will, of course, continue to be aware that very few realize that they
T3:11.15  that very few realize that they exist in the House of Truth. You  will, in truth, for quite some time, be striving to remain aware even
T3:11.15  As the old continues to help you to learn lessons of the new you  will be seeing how the lessons of the illusion can be useful in a new
T3:11.16  righteousness. You are not right and others wrong. This temptation  will not long be with you for once the old thought system is
T3:11.16  is thoroughly translated to the new, such ideas as right and wrong  will be no more. It is only for this transitional phase, that this
T3:12.6  body. Temptations do not originate from love. While some temptations  will seem to be of love they are not.
T3:12.7  once slumbering mind that change on a grand scale awaits you, you  will grow fearful if you do not realize that what is being proposed
T3:12.7  means is that all that in this human experience has come of love  will be retained. All that will be lost is what has come of fear.
T3:12.7  in this human experience has come of love will be retained. All that  will be lost is what has come of fear.
T3:13.1  your identity, and our new purpose, that of the miracle that  will allow you to exist as who you are in human form, we may proceed
T3:13.2  While you may still feel a connection to God during such times, you  will not be dwelling within the peace of God. Your Self and God will
T3:13.2  you will not be dwelling within the peace of God. Your Self and God  will be but memories to you while your reality remains that of the
T3:13.2  experience of pain or of pleasure. You begin to fear that pleasure  will end or that pain will not end. Once fear has entered, doubt and
T3:13.2  of pleasure. You begin to fear that pleasure will end or that pain  will not end. Once fear has entered, doubt and guilt are never far
T3:13.3 These temptations  will concern you less and less as we uncover their true meaning by
T3:13.4  you the beginnings of a vision of a life in physical form that  will not include the very temptations we are beginning to lay out.
T3:13.4  between love and fear as cause is all that is important now as you  will create the new according to what you believe to be the truth and
T3:13.7  in concepts such as earning and paying. How you implement this idea  will be your choice. But the idea that you do not have to earn your
T3:13.7  way nor pay your way must be birthed and lived by. While most of you  will immediately think of your survival needs, this is far from the
T3:13.8 “I am safe and nothing that I do or do not do  will threaten my safety.”
T3:13.9 As you say these words you  will realize that you do believe in them. You believe, but you cannot
T3:13.10  begin by something as simple as choosing one thing a day that you  will change to reflect the fact that you have accepted this new idea.
T3:13.10  the fact that you have accepted this new idea. Choose an act that  will cause you no fear to begin with. For instance, you might tell
T3:13.10  that if I sleep as long as I feel I need to sleep in the morning, I  will awake refreshed and ready for my day and no dire consequences
T3:13.10  I will awake refreshed and ready for my day and no dire consequences  will befall me from this action.” Another act might be as simple as
T3:13.10  ordinarily would not spend, always with the idea in mind that this  will not affect your budget in any negative respect.
T3:13.11  If you remember that all of your ideas are to be based on love, you  will not fail to birth ideas of consequence.
T3:13.12 The second aspect of this lesson  will then be regarding your ideas about the consequences that seem to
T3:13.14  by the personal self. It is only in this way that the personal self  will be able to represent the Self in truth.
T3:14.1  thought system of truth. While the foundation of fear, like the ego,  will have left you now, a pattern of behaving fearfully may still
T3:14.1  long as these patterns of fear remain as deterrents to action, you  will not experience the freedom of living from the new thought
T3:14.1  of living from the new thought system. The new thought system  will still exist within your mind and heart, as nothing can now take
T3:14.1  from you, but to experience the new thought system as thought alone  will not bring about the changes you would so desire to have come
T3:14.1  You may live a more peaceful and meaningful life, but you  will not become the savior I ask you to be, or the architects of the
T3:14.2  thought system of the ego into the thought system of the truth, you  will begin to believe in such things as benevolence and abundance.
T3:14.2  things as benevolence and abundance. What this means is that you  will slowly translate all ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance,
T3:14.3  translation of the new thought system for the old is complete, this  will no longer happen. But the translation cannot be completed if you
T3:14.5 I am, however, the bringer of Good News. Now I  will repeat to you a piece of good news you may have forgotten: You
T3:14.5  You would not be other than who you are. This is a key idea that  will help you immeasurably in leaving behind patterns of behavior
T3:14.5  to dwell in the House of Truth and see with the eyes of love, you  will see far less about the life you lead that you would change than
T3:14.5  take you, and for some great changes may surely await, but those who  will be visited by great change are but those who desire it. Yet even
T3:14.5  are but those who desire it. Yet even those who desire great change  will find these great changes will not cause them to be other than
T3:14.5  Yet even those who desire great change will find these great changes  will not cause them to be other than who they are. There is nothing
T3:14.6 As you see newly with the eyes of love, you  will be much more likely to see love everywhere within the life you
T3:14.6  you may be required to take, worry not! The changes that come to you  will be chosen changes. You will lose nothing you would keep.
T3:14.6  worry not! The changes that come to you will be chosen changes. You  will lose nothing you would keep.
T3:14.7  caused by perceived disrespect. It is only by your choice that you  will keep these things and only by your choice that these things will
T3:14.7  you will keep these things and only by your choice that these things  will leave you.
T3:14.8 It is only your old uncertainty that  will make you fear the matters of choice that lie before you. But
T3:14.8  old, and with it the patterns of behavior caused by fear, the new  will reveal to you all that you would keep and all that you would
T3:14.9 You  will clearly see all of the choices that throughout your life have
T3:14.9  in love and made of you a person you would not be other than. You  will also clearly see all of the choices that throughout your life
T3:14.11  your “sins.” While this is what you continue to choose, this is what  will continue to be evidenced in your world. This is the only act you
T3:14.13  Like a story yet to be written, that which follows the first page  will be based upon the first page.
T3:15.2  has concerned the occasions of birth and death. This is something we  will return to, but first let us look at other types of new
T3:15.5  a new beginning is possible, even while awaiting the lapse that  will surely prove to you that the new beginning is but an act and
T3:15.5  eager and confident in being able to succeed in the current year,  will continue to be plagued by memories of failure. The alcoholic can
T3:15.5  fresh memories of past abuse or humiliation in the hopes that they  will discourage a repeat of the old behavior. The loved one of an
T3:15.8  relationships too have breathed their last. As I said before, these  will seem to be remedial lessons. What they are, in truth, are aides
T3:15.8  they are, in truth, are aides to help you birth the new ideas that  will break the patterns of old.
T3:15.9  beginning that, like all others that you have offered or attempted,  will take place in relationship. The difference is that this new
T3:15.9  place in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning  will take place in holy, rather than special, relationship.
T3:15.13  That learning put an end to the old. Living what you have learned  will usher in the new.
T3:15.14  approach this new beginning as you have those of the past. What  will assist you most, as the translation of the old thought system
T3:15.17  same being that you have represented yourself to be in the past, you  will not be living by the truth but by illusion.
T3:15.18  of illusion with the truth is what the new thought system  will accomplish. Obviously, this replacement must be total. The means
T3:16.2  a plan and you do not need to know precisely what this new world  will look like. You simply need to be willing to live by the truth.
T3:16.5  acting as a trigger that would release all such impatience for what  will be. Impatience for what will be can only be satisfied by what is.
T3:16.5  release all such impatience for what will be. Impatience for what  will be can only be satisfied by what is.
T3:16.6  make it seem as if what is now is still awaiting replacement by what  will be, is a change that must occur within. As has already been
T3:16.8  who you are in truth is a temptation of the human experience. It  will come in many forms, all of which will be related to an old
T3:16.8  of the human experience. It will come in many forms, all of which  will be related to an old pattern of dissatisfaction with yourself.
T3:16.8  an old pattern of dissatisfaction with yourself. These temptations  will be related to the intrigue of the challenge and actually be
T3:16.8  Keeping this idea in the forefront of your mind and heart  will aid the translation of this aspect of the ego thought system to
T3:16.10  The belief in lack is a temptation of the human experience. This  will relate to all situations in which you feel you have something to
T3:16.10  you feel you have something to gain from some “other.” Again, this  will be related to old patterns of dissatisfaction with the self. It
T3:16.14  are temptations of the human experience. These temptations  will relate to any issues that you consider to be issues of
T3:16.15  If you but live by the idea that representing who you are in truth  will create a new heaven on earth, you can lay aside any fears that
T3:16.15  a new heaven on earth, you can lay aside any fears that others  will suffer due to the changes your new Self will create. As you live
T3:16.15  any fears that others will suffer due to the changes your new Self  will create. As you live with awareness of the love of God within
T3:16.15  As you live with awareness of the love of God within you, you  will see that you have no need for special love relationships. You
T3:16.15  will see that you have no need for special love relationships. You  will realize that the love and the Self you now have available to
T3:16.15  to share in relationship are all that you would share in truth. You  will recognize that no others have a need for you to make them
T3:16.15  that no others have a need for you to make them special for you  will see the truth of who they are rather than the illusion of who
T3:16.16  upon each other. Let one part go and soon all the remaining parts  will crumble into the dust from which they came. The cement that was
T3:17.8  in the House of Truth rather than the house of illusion, is what  will end the time of illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and
T3:18.1  rightly then, how those who have not learned by the Holy Spirit  will learn. They will now learn through observation.
T3:18.1  how those who have not learned by the Holy Spirit will learn. They  will now learn through observation.
T3:18.2  that have been unwilling to accept or learn an unobservable truth,  will now accept and learn from observable truth. This is why you must
T3:18.3  it is a natural choice to serve our new purpose of the miracle that  will allow you to exist as who you are in human form. See what
T3:18.3  form. It is thus from observable form that the final learning  will take place. This is the perfect example of using what you have
T3:18.4 Expressing who you are in physical form  will return remembrance to the minds of those who observe your
T3:18.4  expression. Further, your observance of your brothers and sisters  will return remembrance to their minds and hearts. It is, in fact,
T3:18.6  rather than sadness—disease, poverty, conflict and sadness  will be no more real to your brothers and sisters than it is to you.
T3:18.8 It  will seem at first as if you are asked to deny the facts that you see
T3:18.9 In this way, you  will join the mechanisms of your physical form to the new thought
T3:18.9  the truth. Your body, as has been often said, is a neutral form that  will serve you in the manner in which you choose to have it serve
T3:18.9  by the thought system of illusion, it is natural to realize that it  will now be instructed by the thought system of the truth. Thus your
T3:18.9  now be instructed by the thought system of the truth. Thus your eyes  will learn to observe only the truth, even unto seeing what before
T3:19.1 You must not fear the changes that  will occur within your physical form as it begins to be guided by the
T3:19.1  system of the truth rather than the thought system of illusion. You  will fear these changes less if you realize that all that has come of
T3:19.1  these changes less if you realize that all that has come of love  will be kept and that all that has come of fear will fall away. You
T3:19.1  has come of love will be kept and that all that has come of fear  will fall away. You have no need to fear that the end of the special
T3:19.1  You have no need to fear that the end of the special relationship  will separate you from your loved ones. You have no need to fear that
T3:19.1  You have no need to fear that the joys you have shared with others  will be no more. You have no more need to fear the loss of physical
T3:19.6  of the body have gone unquestioned and been held tantamount. The  will of the body to survive has thus been blamed for all actions that
T3:19.6  that have arisen from real and perceived lack. Yet the body has no  will and the survival of the true Self is not based upon it.
T3:19.7 Because the spiritual life has so often been linked with celibacy I  will mention sexual union specifically here to put behind you any
T3:19.10  body merely responded. The body's response to the new thought system  will be different in many ways, none of which will lead you to feel
T3:19.10  the new thought system will be different in many ways, none of which  will lead you to feel that you have lost anything of value to you.
T3:19.11  others still remain tied to the old thought system, human behavior  will still reflect harmful actions that will seem to arise from
T3:19.11  system, human behavior will still reflect harmful actions that  will seem to arise from bodily temptations. Although you will now
T3:19.11  that will seem to arise from bodily temptations. Although you  will now represent who you are in physical form in a new way, you can
T3:19.11  of the meaningless acts of those living in illusion because they  will be unable to cause effect in the House of Truth.
T3:19.12  what it is. Just as we are telling you that new beliefs and ideas  will lead to a new reality, old beliefs and ideas led to the old
T3:19.12  old beliefs and ideas led to the old reality, a reality that  will still exist for some even after it changes completely for you.
T3:19.13 This  will seem even more inconsistent with a benevolent universe than it
T3:19.13  seen until it was represented in an observable manner, something you  will now do.
T3:19.14  and even rage-producing for those still living in illusion. But it  will be much more tempting to be divisive, uncomfortable and
T3:19.14  in the new. Many who observe the new from the house of illusion  will still be able to deny what they see. Just think of how many
T3:19.14  that it can no longer be denied that changes of a large scale  will begin to be seen.
T3:19.15 You  will be tempted to return to the house of illusion to gather those
T3:19.15  of Christ, a new time, a time without parallel or comparison, this  will not be possible. It has been said from the beginning that your
T3:19.15  not be possible. It has been said from the beginning that your role  will not be to evangelize or to be convincing. You cannot argue the
T3:19.16 While this would seem to leave some without hope, it  will leave no one without choice. It will make the one clear and only
T3:19.16  to leave some without hope, it will leave no one without choice. It  will make the one clear and only choice evident. It is a choice to
T3:19.16  be found to come to the truth. But a way of getting to the truth  will become so attractive that few will be able to resist. What will
T3:19.16  But a way of getting to the truth will become so attractive that few  will be able to resist. What will make this choice so attractive will
T3:19.16  will become so attractive that few will be able to resist. What  will make this choice so attractive will not be martyrs and saintly
T3:19.16  few will be able to resist. What will make this choice so attractive  will not be martyrs and saintly souls stricken with every calamity
T3:19.16  to tell those who would listen about the glory of God. What  will make this choice so attractive are ordinary people living
T3:20.1  no longer any time to be wasted on illusion we are saying that you  will no longer serve time but that time will serve you. Time was
T3:20.1  we are saying that you will no longer serve time but that time  will serve you. Time was wasted on illusion and so but seemed to
T3:20.1  no effects that exist in truth. Now, your every thought and action  will have effect, and the choices that lie before you will be choices
T3:20.1  and action will have effect, and the choices that lie before you  will be choices of where your thoughts and actions will have the
T3:20.1  lie before you will be choices of where your thoughts and actions  will have the greatest effect.
T3:20.3  learning the truth, you are learning how to live by the truth. This  will benefit you and in so doing benefit all others.
T3:20.8 You  will see it as quite difficult at first to respond to such situations
T3:20.13  Will those you love still suffer? Many may. But not with your help.
T3:20.13 Will those you love still suffer? Many may. But not with your help.  Will many more, with your help, see an end to suffering? Many will.
T3:20.13  help. Will many more, with your help, see an end to suffering? Many  will. Will an end to suffering be what you work toward? No. This is
T3:20.13  Will many more, with your help, see an end to suffering? Many will.  Will an end to suffering be what you work toward? No. This is not
T3:20.15  when I call you to offer the eternal to the eternal. The new way  will work wherever it finds willingness. You cannot call others to
T3:20.16  go out from love to love. It is not the words of your mouth that  will be heard or the language of your mind that will be responded to.
T3:20.16  of your mouth that will be heard or the language of your mind that  will be responded to. It is the love within your heart that will
T3:20.16  that will be responded to. It is the love within your heart that  will sound the call. And when it is heard, and your brother or sister
T3:20.17  these aren't the ones given you to bring to love and trust that none  will remain forever lost to his or her own Self.
T3:20.18 You are as pioneers to this new world. Its mere existence  will attract others and each will find the price of admission is
T3:20.18  to this new world. Its mere existence will attract others and each  will find the price of admission is their willingness to leave the
T3:20.19  is not different but the same as every other circumstance you  will encounter. You will encounter truth or illusion and nothing else
T3:20.19  but the same as every other circumstance you will encounter. You  will encounter truth or illusion and nothing else for there is
T3:21.6  is a being born into time, a being whose existence began in time and  will end in time.
T3:21.9 This  will sound intolerant to you. It is a stance intolerant of illusion.
T3:21.14  aspects to your personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we  will call self-image, and an aspect that has to do with beliefs.
T3:21.17  that you exist in unity, all the things we have enumerated above  will act to challenge these beliefs unless you are able to see them
T3:21.17  and a sex that divides you from those “opposite” you, unity  will seem like a belief only.
T3:21.18  your form and cease to be accepted as aspects of your identity. This  will cause your existence to seem to have more of a dualistic nature
T3:21.18  time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the personal self  will continue to exist only as the self you present to others. It
T3:21.18  will continue to exist only as the self you present to others. It  will be a representation only. It will represent only the truth. It
T3:21.18  the self you present to others. It will be a representation only. It  will represent only the truth. It will no longer be seen as your
T3:21.18  will be a representation only. It will represent only the truth. It  will no longer be seen as your identity, but as representing your
T3:21.19  your identity for our new purpose, the purpose of the miracle that  will allow you to exist as who you are in human form. How, you might
T3:21.20 The answer too  will seem contradictory, for the answer lies in realizing that your
T3:21.20  your former identity does not matter, even while realizing that it  will serve your new purpose. Further, there are even two aspects to
T3:21.20  is that your certainty regarding the identity of your personal self  will be useful as that certainty is translated to the thought system
T3:21.20  The second is that the very differences that you seem to have  will be seen as sameness by some and will attract them to you and to
T3:21.20  that you seem to have will be seen as sameness by some and  will attract them to you and to the truth you now will represent.
T3:21.20  by some and will attract them to you and to the truth you now  will represent.
T3:21.22 In other words, it  will matter not that there will be no priest or guru for those who
T3:21.22 In other words, it will matter not that there  will be no priest or guru for those who seek the truth to turn to. It
T3:21.22  be no priest or guru for those who seek the truth to turn to. It  will matter not that a black man will not turn to a white man or a
T3:21.22  who seek the truth to turn to. It will matter not that a black man  will not turn to a white man or a Muslim to a Christian. It will not
T3:21.22  man will not turn to a white man or a Muslim to a Christian. It  will not matter if a young person looks to one his or her own age or
T3:21.22  to one his or her own age or turns to someone older. And yet it  will matter that someone will look at you and see that you are not so
T3:21.22  age or turns to someone older. And yet it will matter that someone  will look at you and see that you are not so different than he or
T3:21.22  look at you and see that you are not so different than he or she. It  will matter that someone will look at you and be drawn to the truth
T3:21.22  you are not so different than he or she. It will matter that someone  will look at you and be drawn to the truth of him- or herself that is
T3:21.22  confident in your personal self, knowing that your personal self  will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have seen as your
T3:21.22  valuable as are your successes and strengths. What has separated you  will also unite you.
T3:21.23 It is not being said that anyone should, or  will, remain blind to the unity that exists beyond all barriers of
T3:21.23  and religion. It is simply being said that they do not matter. It  will not matter if a person turns to someone “like” him- or herself
T3:21.24  or who are better examples of a good and saintly life are those who  will lead the way for others to follow. Do not give in to the idea
T3:21.24  to represent the truth and to observance of the truth. That you each  will do this in ways unique to who you are must be further addressed
T3:22.1  enough. You would like to know in what direction living by the truth  will take you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts
T3:22.1  that the internal affects the external, seem as evidence that you  will no longer be allowed the “separate” life, or private life that
T3:22.2  work. Those who feel this call are surely needed. And each of you  will find the sharing of this Course to be among the easiest of ways
T3:22.2  to be among the easiest of ways to share what you have learned. You  will almost certainly feel eagerness to share it and joy whenever and
T3:22.2  and joy whenever and wherever you are able to do so. But some of you  will find that you do no more than mention this Course as the one, or
T3:22.3  always dreamt of doing. Wherever you go, whatever you do, the truth  will go with you. You need no uniform nor title nor specific role for
T3:22.4  accepting who you are and becoming who you want to be. This tension  will continue if you are unable to integrate two precepts of this
T3:22.7  to know the proper response. It is in responding properly that you  will know what to do.
T3:22.8 Plans  will only interfere with your response to what you are given to
T3:22.8  able to do with your eyes closed is the observation of what is. This  will relate to the future pattern of creating that we will speak of
T3:22.8  what is. This will relate to the future pattern of creating that we  will speak of more in the next Treatise.
T3:22.9  get on to the next level, the level of something new, the level that  will engage you in something “to do,” the level that will give an
T3:22.9  the level that will engage you in something “to do,” the level that  will give an outlet for the excitement that has been building within
T3:22.10 This has been necessary so that the realization  will come to you that you are ready to leave the personal self and
T3:22.11 The ability to cease all acts of comparison  will arise out of this observation of your new Self, for you cannot
T3:22.11  The truth that has always existed is our oneness, and what you  will observe about your new Self you will observe about all. We will
T3:22.11  is our oneness, and what you will observe about your new Self you  will observe about all. We will be one body, one Self. No comparison
T3:22.11  you will observe about your new Self you will observe about all. We  will be one body, one Self. No comparison will be possible. You will
T3:22.11  will observe about all. We will be one body, one Self. No comparison  will be possible. You will realize that differences but lie in
T3:22.11  We will be one body, one Self. No comparison will be possible. You  will realize that differences but lie in expression and
T3:22.12  the tension that exists between accepting what is and desiring what  will be. Linking the words creative and tension is caused by the
T3:22.12  lived, a world wherein a lag time exists between what is and what  will be. You may have, upon reading those words, thought that this
T3:22.12  to give up. You do not know how to reach beyond what was for what  will be without this tension. You do not yet believe in what is.
T3:22.13  dualistic world of illusion where here and now is separate from what  will be. In the new world, the world where truth reigns, there is no
T3:22.13  there is no world of illusion where what is, is separate from what  will be.
T3:22.14  and seals out the world where what is, is separated from what  will be by your effort and the time that it will take you to, through
T3:22.14  is separated from what will be by your effort and the time that it  will take you to, through your effort, create the desired outcome.
T3:22.14  you would have desired in the early stages of this Course, is the  Will of God. What you desire now is the Will of God because it is
T3:22.14  of this Course, is the Will of God. What you desire now is the  Will of God because it is your true desire, your will and God's
T3:22.14  desire now is the Will of God because it is your true desire, your  will and God's joined as one.
T3:22.16  creation, creating the personal self anew, seeing within it all that  will serve the new, and only what will serve the new.
T3:22.16  anew, seeing within it all that will serve the new, and only what  will serve the new.
T4:1.1 Let me tell you what this Treatise  will not be about. It will not be predictive. It will leave no one
T4:1.1 Let me tell you what this Treatise will not be about. It  will not be predictive. It will leave no one out. It will not appeal
T4:1.1  what this Treatise will not be about. It will not be predictive. It  will leave no one out. It will not appeal to fear nor give you cause
T4:1.1  be about. It will not be predictive. It will leave no one out. It  will not appeal to fear nor give you cause for fear. It will not be
T4:1.1  one out. It will not appeal to fear nor give you cause for fear. It  will not be about tools or tell you that some have the tools for
T4:1.1  some have the tools for accomplishment and that others do not. It  will continue the view from within the embrace, an embrace and a view
T4:1.2 It  will, however, be conclusive. It will separate truth from illusion in
T4:1.2 It will, however, be conclusive. It  will separate truth from illusion in ways that will make some
T4:1.2  be conclusive. It will separate truth from illusion in ways that  will make some uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge your
T4:1.2  truth from illusion in ways that will make some uncomfortable. It  will continue to challenge your former ideas and beliefs as have the
T4:1.2  your former ideas and beliefs as have the previous Treatises. But it  will do this only to reach a conclusion of certainty from which you
T4:1.3 In doing so, it may seem to you as if some  will be left out and as if you are being told that you can achieve
T4:1.3  have tried and failed to achieve. These are the types of ideas that  will cause discomfort to many of you as you still find it hard to
T4:1.3  in your own chosenness. It is this idea of being chosen that  will cause your mind to conclude that some are not chosen now and
T4:1.4  are but related to this idea of choosing, a process of the free  will with which you all are endowed.
T4:1.7  of learning, and if they do not learn what is taught in school, they  will, by default, learn what is not taught in school. If you can
T4:1.10 This curriculum is mandatory and so some have rebelled and  will rebel against it. Those who do not choose to learn from the
T4:1.10  against it. Those who do not choose to learn from the curriculum,  will, like school children, learn through what is not of the
T4:1.10  is what is being spoken of here. But all means are for one end. All  will learn the same content, for all are chosen; and all learning, no
T4:1.10  for all are chosen; and all learning, no matter what the means,  will eventually lead them to the truth of who they are.
T4:1.11  now and later. What you must understand is that all choices  will lead to knowledge of Self and God, as no choices are offered
T4:1.11  time, it must be seen that your choice matters in time, even if all  will make the same choice eventually.
T4:1.15 This confusion is what this Treatise  will seek to dispel so that you are left with no confusion and only
T4:1.15  are left with no confusion and only certainty. The only thing that  will dispel this confusion and bring you the certainty that is needed
T4:1.16  truth exists within you. It is in this way that time is not real and  will no longer be real to you as you come to live by the truth. It is
T4:1.25  the truth, thinking still that the experience of the truth  will exclude much that they would want to try before they give into
T4:1.26 Those born into the time of Christ  will settle for nothing less than the truth and will soon begin
T4:1.26  the time of Christ will settle for nothing less than the truth and  will soon begin looking earnestly for it. Even the ego-self will be
T4:1.26  and will soon begin looking earnestly for it. Even the ego-self  will be perceived clearly by these, and they will not want it for
T4:1.26  it. Even the ego-self will be perceived clearly by these, and they  will not want it for their identity but only will accept it until
T4:1.26  by these, and they will not want it for their identity but only  will accept it until another identity is offered.
T4:1.27  and contrast. But this also means that the great majority  will become aware of the new state of consciousness and that learning
T4:1.27  become aware of the new state of consciousness and that learning  will pass through them directly through observation and direct
T4:1.27  means that the last generation born into the time of the Holy Spirit  will live out their lives and that soon all who remain on earth will
T4:1.27  will live out their lives and that soon all who remain on earth  will be those born into the time of Christ.
T4:2.1  It is happening. It is not predictive. I have never been and  will never be predictive, for I am Christ-consciousness.
T4:2.1  what is, an awareness that does not conceive of such as what was and  will be can peacefully coexist with the unity that is here and now in
T4:2.6 The production that has so long occupied you  will now serve you as you turn your productive and reproductive
T4:2.7  not exist; that there are others living among you in this time who  will not become aware of their true nature does not mean that it does
T4:2.7  them. You are no more accomplished than anyone has been or is or  will be. The truth of who you are is as accomplished as the truth of
T4:2.7  is not speaking the truth. This is why we began with the chosen and  will return again and again to the statement that all are chosen.
T4:2.8  judgment. While you continue to believe that a final judgment  will separate the good from the evil, you are carrying judgment.
T4:2.10  unity. If you proceed into this new time thinking that this new time  will separate you from others, or cause you, as the chosen, to be
T4:2.10  you from others, or cause you, as the chosen, to be separate, you  will not become fully aware of the new time. Full awareness of the
T4:2.11  fly a plane or land on the moon, being first implies only that there  will be a second and a third. That attention and respect is given to
T4:2.12  “place” they briefly hold is of a finite nature, that others  will soon do the same, and that those who follow in time will do so
T4:2.12  that others will soon do the same, and that those who follow in time  will do so more easily, with less effort, and with even greater
T4:2.12  themselves “better than” for a moment in time, but those who do  will be bitterly disappointed as their moment passes. Despite the
T4:2.13  of the old. Many of these patterns do not concern me for they  will fall away of themselves as your awareness of the new grows. But
T4:2.13  as your awareness of the new grows. But these few that I linger on  will prevent your awareness of the new from growing, and so must be
T4:2.17  It is about observing what is. The power to observe what is is what  will keep you unified with your brothers and sisters rather than
T4:2.19  rather than in terms of what already is. This type of thinking  will not serve the new or allow you full awareness of the new.
T4:2.21 Now I tell you something else and hope you  will remember it and bid it true. Each day is a creation and holy
T4:2.25  It exists and you are becoming aware of its existence. You  will increasingly be unable to deny it and you will not want to. As
T4:2.25  of its existence. You will increasingly be unable to deny it and you  will not want to. As you allow awareness of this relationship to grow
T4:2.25  to. As you allow awareness of this relationship to grow in you, you  will learn the lessons that are being spoken of within this Treatise.
T4:2.27  of union, returned to you through the joining of mind and heart,  will now reveal to you the truth of what was created and allow you to
T4:2.29  self for so long that you cannot imagine what shared vision  will mean, and do not yet recognize it when you experience it. This
T4:2.29  of observance of what is as a game of make believe and feel that you  will have to trick yourself into believing that you see love where
T4:2.31  other senses in your idea of sight? Have you thought your instincts  will be sharpened and that you will know with an inner knowing that
T4:2.31  Have you thought your instincts will be sharpened and that you  will know with an inner knowing that will aid the sight of your eyes?
T4:2.31  will be sharpened and that you will know with an inner knowing that  will aid the sight of your eyes?
T4:2.32  is one of union and relationship, and purpose—purpose that  will be revealed to you because you exist in union with the Source
T4:3.3 —by its original nature or intent. The devotion of the observant  will return you to your original purpose. The vision of
T4:3.3  you to your original purpose. The vision of Christ-consciousness  will take you beyond it.
T4:3.7  no more weighing of love against fear. God did not create fear and  will not be judged by it. All judgment is the cause of fear and this
T4:3.8  state of love is returned to you, judgment falls away because vision  will arise. With the onset of the vision of love, many of you will
T4:3.8  vision will arise. With the onset of the vision of love, many of you  will make one final judgment in which you find everything to be good
T4:3.9 The vision that  will arise in you now is not new. It is your natural vision, the
T4:3.9  of love. What is new is the elevation of the personal self that  will be caused by the return of your natural state of love. This is
T4:3.10 Vision  will allow you to see the nature of the world and all that exists
T4:3.10  nature of the world and all that exists within it truly. Observation  will allow you to elevate the personal self to its rightful place
T4:3.12  of the created becomes observable in physical form, physical form  will surpass what it once was and become the new nature of the
T4:4.13  If the unknown were not unknown faith would not be necessary. Faith  will become unnecessary, as life everlasting becomes known to you.
T4:4.14 This knowing  will come from the return of true vision. True vision sees
T4:4.14  has returned to you, the means of life-everlasting  will be understood as a choice. Because there was no relationship
T4:4.14  in form, the decision to continue in form or to not continue in form  will be yours.
T4:4.15  and thus eternal. If you can abide in unity while in human form, you  will have no cause, save your own choice, to leave human form. To
T4:4.15  is to abide in an unnatural state from which you eventually  will seek release.
T4:4.17  you not see the necessity of removing the idea that your true Self  will be returned to you only through death? What purpose would this
T4:4.18 What purpose  will death serve when your true Self has joined with your physical
T4:4.18  serve when your true Self has joined with your physical form? You  will see it simply as the transformation it has always been, the
T4:4.18  As form becomes a representation of Christ-consciousness, it  will take on the nature of Christ-consciousness, of which my life was
T4:4.18  of the human and the divine as a new state of being. This union  will take you beyond the goal of expressing your Self in form because
T4:4.18  of the human and the divine as a new state of being, this choice  will be eternally yours. It will be a choice of your creation, a
T4:4.18  as a new state of being, this choice will be eternally yours. It  will be a choice of your creation, a creation devoid of fear. It will
T4:4.18  It will be a choice of your creation, a creation devoid of fear. It  will be a new choice.
T4:5.8  the whole. You might say that your finger does not, then, have free  will. It cannot express itself independently of the whole.
T4:5.9  you think that this is possible and that this is the meaning of free  will. Free will does not make the impossible possible. It makes the
T4:5.9  this is possible and that this is the meaning of free will. Free  will does not make the impossible possible. It makes the possible
T4:5.9  It makes the possible probable. It is thus probable that you  will use your free will in order to be who you are. But it is not
T4:5.9  possible probable. It is thus probable that you will use your free  will in order to be who you are. But it is not guaranteed! It is your
T4:5.9  choice alone that is the only guarantee. This is the meaning of free  will.
T4:5.10 To align your  will with the Will of God is to make the choice for
T4:5.10 To align your will with the  Will of God is to make the choice for Christ-consciousness, to make
T4:5.11  given the chance now, to choose your true nature with your free  will.
T4:5.12  you chose direct revelation by God. Think about this now and you  will see that it is true. You hoped to live a good life and at the
T4:5.12  in that revelation, transformed you. The direct revelations that  will come to you now will transform you as surely as did those that
T4:5.12  transformed you. The direct revelations that will come to you now  will transform you as surely as did those that came to so many others
T4:5.13  the glory that is yours, that determines the way in which your life  will continue. The same is true right now! For this is the time of
T4:6.3 Those who believe that only some  will be chosen can create a scenario in which it appears that some
T4:6.3  from one another and the one life-giving energy that unites us all  will but continue life as it has been but in different form. The
T4:6.3  form. The realization of unity is the binding realization that  will return all, as one body, to the natural state of
T4:6.4  direct sharing, the probable future you imagine, envision, desire,  will be what you create. This is the power of the devotion of the
T4:6.6  you to a new choice with the full realization that your choice alone  will affect millions of your brothers and sisters, as long as—and
T4:7.1 Christ-consciousness  will be temporary or sustainable depending on your ability to refrain
T4:7.1  envision, imagine, desire with love must be without judgment or it  will be false envisioning, false imagining, false desire. This simply
T4:7.1  is itself no cause for judgment. It is simply an alternative that  will draw you out of Christ-consciousness and not allow it to be
T4:7.2 That you are living in the time of Christ does not mean that you  will automatically realize Christ-consciousness, just as living in
T4:7.3  vision of Christ-consciousness must realize the many choices that  will seem to lie before you and your brothers and sisters in this
T4:7.3  of the unity that creates and sustains all living things  will now be as close to the surface of consciousness as was, during
T4:7.3  themselves spiritual and those who consider themselves pragmatists,  will hold this understanding within their grasp. Many will be
T4:7.3  pragmatists, will hold this understanding within their grasp. Many  will be surprised by experiences of unity and know not what to make
T4:7.3  know not what to make of them. Those who attempt to figure them out  will come ever closer to the truth by means of science, technology,
T4:7.3  and literature. Those who allow themselves to experience revelation  will enter Christ-consciousness.
T4:7.4 Those who sustain Christ-consciousness  will abide within it free of judgment. They will not seek to create
T4:7.4  Christ-consciousness will abide within it free of judgment. They  will not seek to create their version of a perfect world and to force
T4:7.4  their version of a perfect world and to force it upon others, but  will abide within the perfect world that is in the vision of
T4:7.4  that is in the vision of Christ-consciousness. This perfect world  will be observable to them and in them. It will be revealed to them
T4:7.4  This perfect world will be observable to them and in them. It  will be revealed to them and through them. It will be revealed to
T4:7.4  them and in them. It will be revealed to them and through them. It  will be revealed to them through what they can envision, imagine and
T4:7.4  what they can envision, imagine and desire without judgment. It  will not take the effort of their bodies, but the freedom of a
T4:7.5  to you through a heart and mind joined in unity, your body too  will exist or abide within this natural state. It cannot help to, as
T4:7.6  in union have brought harmony to your body. Sustaining this harmony  will keep your body in perfect health, even while the manner of this
T4:7.6  health, even while the manner of this perfection of your health  will remain one of many options.
T4:7.7 You  will realize that what is is optimal to your learning. But you will
T4:7.7 You will realize that what is is optimal to your learning. But you  will also realize that an end to your learning is in sight.
T4:7.7  health and learning the lesson that it has come to impart to you,  will return you to good health. Your poor health is no cause for
T4:7.8 But let me again emphasize that the conditions of learning  will be no longer needed once learning has occurred. The student no
T4:7.8  own choice. Again let me remind you that no choice is wrong. Some  will choose to continue to learn through the full variety of the
T4:7.8  choice due to the learning that has already occurred, the choice  will be one guided by love and thus be a joyous choice and ensure a
T4:7.8  and thus be a joyous choice and ensure a joyous life. These choices  will change the world.
T4:7.9 But the choice many of you  will make—the choice to move from learning to creating—will
T4:7.9  of you will make—the choice to move from learning to creating— will create a new world.
T4:8.8  your heart and still live. What could be disconnected was your  will—or in other words, your mind. Just as it is your nature to
T4:8.10  Rarely. What you do is realize the impossibility of imposing your  will and, because of this impossibility, you realize that you must
T4:8.16  learning complete, is an error. If you rethink this definition you  will see that even in regards to the learning of one subject it is
T4:8.17  and that end is fast approaching. Coming to know through learning  will be of the past as soon as Christ-consciousness is sustainable
T4:9.9  of the new. Be not afraid, for the glory that has been yours  will be as nothing to the glory that awaits you in the creation of
T4:9.9  nothing to the glory that awaits you in the creation of the new. You  will always be honored for what you have done. But do you want this
T4:9.9  phase of the journey, the journey out of the time of learning that  will usher in the fullness of time.
T4:10.1  to be willing to give up the role of learner and to believe that you  will become comfortable and more in your new role as the accomplished.
T4:10.2  because as you consider your willingness to give up learning you  will meet resistance and realize, for perhaps the first time, that
T4:10.2  is what your entire life has been about. You cannot imagine how you  will come to know anything new, or be anything beyond that which you
T4:10.2  stray to ideas about experiencing, rather than studying, and yet you  will quickly see that you merely think of experience as learning
T4:10.10  the production of unity and relationship and true meaning  will be revealed.
T4:10.13 As I said earlier, some  will not be willing to move out of the time of learning. Those who
T4:10.13  this Course would teach but do not move beyond the state of learning  will change the world. They will make the world a better place and
T4:10.13  do not move beyond the state of learning will change the world. They  will make the world a better place and see many of their students
T4:10.14 Those of you willing to leave learning behind  will create the new. This will not happen through learning but
T4:10.14  of you willing to leave learning behind will create the new. This  will not happen through learning but through sharing. You can learn
T4:11.4 Thus I  will conclude this Treatise with a prelude to the sharing that is our
T4:11.4  is beyond learning. I conclude this Treatise by sharing that which  will assist you in sustaining Christ-consciousness.
T4:12.2 From this time on, I  will respond to you through direct communication or dialogue rather
T4:12.4 This prelude  will address them individually and collectively, and as you join with
T4:12.4  and collectively, and as you join with them in unity, you  will realize that it also addresses you individually and as part of
T4:12.4  and as part of the collectivity of the whole. This dialogue  will, however, be ongoing, and this is your invitation to participate
T4:12.4  heart, no matter what questions are emanating from your mind, they  will be met with a response.
T4:12.5  you. The first is the end of learning, the ramifications of which  will only slowly occur to your mind and be surprising revelations
T4:12.5  is the beginning of sharing in unity, a change that your heart  will gladly accept but that your mind, once again, will be
T4:12.5  that your heart will gladly accept but that your mind, once again,  will be continuously surprised to encounter.
T4:12.7  are sustainable without need of the written word, the written word  will be less necessary. In the meantime, let me explain why these
T4:12.9 Thus, if you have been religious, abandon not your churches, for you  will find within them now, direct experiences of sharing. If you have
T4:12.9  the written word, abandon not the written word, for the written word  will now elicit direct experiences of sharing. If you have enjoyed
T4:12.10  past. While you are still encountering concerns and questions, you  will be prone to continue to think of yourself as a learning being.
T4:12.10  dialogues continue to address these same questions and concerns, you  will be prone to think of them as teaching dialogues and to consider
T4:12.10  yourself thus is simply a condition of the old for which you  will need to be vigilant. You will be again surprised, however, to
T4:12.10  a condition of the old for which you will need to be vigilant. You  will be again surprised, however, to find what an enormous difference
T4:12.10  to find what an enormous difference the release of this idea  will make in your capacity to express who you are. As long as you
T4:12.10  express who you are. As long as you continue to invite learning, you  will continue to invite the conditions of learning. These are the
T4:12.10  of the separated self, which is why it is no longer needed. You  will not fully realize unity while you continue to hang on to this
T4:12.11 Another thing that you  will want to be vigilant of, dear brothers and sisters, is the
T4:12.12  for you not to exist in continual contentment. Continual contentment  will not stunt your growth or prevent you from sharing or from
T4:12.15  the joy of sharing and the new challenges of creating the new! This  will be joyous journeying and your challenges will be joyous
T4:12.15  creating the new! This will be joyous journeying and your challenges  will be joyous challenges!
T4:12.17  that you do not continue to advance learned wisdom. Learned wisdom  will tell you to work hard. Learned wisdom will tell you that the
T4:12.17  wisdom. Learned wisdom will tell you to work hard. Learned wisdom  will tell you that the strong survive, the mighty prevail, the weak
T4:12.19  you still have questions, dear brothers and sisters. I know that you  will experience times of not knowing how to proceed. I know that you
T4:12.19  will experience times of not knowing how to proceed. I know that you  will occasionally have setbacks and choose the conditions of learning
T4:12.20  the state of Christ-consciousness, the pattern of the old thoughts  will continue until they are replaced by a new pattern. That
T4:12.20  by a new pattern. That self-doubt arises in your thought patterns  will not mean that you have cause for self-doubt. You have no cause
T4:12.20  for self-doubt because you have no cause for fear. To dwell in fear  will end your ability to dwell within the love that is
T4:12.21  by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with God. You  will be the co-creator of the new pattern of consciousness that is
T4:12.26  What you cannot learn you can remember. What you cannot learn  will simply be known through sharing.
T4:12.27 It is the way in which you  will come to remember and share in unity that concerns you now and
T4:12.27  self. Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of free  will.
T4:12.28 Free  will continues in the pattern of Christ-consciousness. Love
T4:12.28  in relationship and unity rather than learning. What this means  will be revealed to you and shared by all who abide within
T4:12.30 What  will help you to remain doubt-free and thus fear-free and continually
T4:12.30  that reveal the design. This new design, and the new patterns that  will be helpful to you in its sustainability, are what must be
T4:12.31  of Christ-consciousness. Once you have adapted to this nature you  will realize that what is communicated through our dialogues and
T4:12.31  and sisters, is simply communication of what already is. This  will help you to adapt to the revelations that replace learning. This
T4:12.31  help you to adapt to the revelations that replace learning. This  will help you to adapt to the truth of a sharing you will have
T4:12.31  learning. This will help you to adapt to the truth of a sharing you  will have received even before it is communicated through the means
T4:12.31  it is communicated through the means to which you are accustomed. It  will help us together to establish the new patterns by which you and
T4:12.31  the new patterns by which you and those who come after you,  will more fully come to awareness of all they have inherited and all
T4:12.33  our lack of separation is part of the creation that is before us. It  will be mutually decided through the coming revelations and our
T4:12.34  Creation is a dialogue. Creation—which is God and us in unity— will respond to our responses. Will respond to what we envision,
T4:12.34 —which is God and us in unity—will respond to our responses.  Will respond to what we envision, imagine and desire. Creation of the
T4:12.34  that included the leaving behind of fear and judgment and a separate  will, was necessary to begin creation of the new. Your former
T4:12.35 What  will the future hold? It is up to us dear brothers and sisters. It is
T4:12.35  relationship, the only guarantees that are known to us is that it  will be a future of love, a future without fear, a future with
D:1.5  cannot fail to be prepared, for you are already accomplished. What  will it now take for your mind to accept this truth? For the mind's
D:1.13 Open your heart, for the one who dwells there in union with all  will emerge from this opening. What was once a tiny pinprick of light
D:1.15  are for everyone because we exist in unity with everyone. No one  will be forced to join our conversation. Only those listening will be
D:1.15  No one will be forced to join our conversation. Only those listening  will be ready to hear. Only those ready to hear will listen. Remember
D:1.15  Only those listening will be ready to hear. Only those ready to hear  will listen. Remember that you cannot be taught what unity would
D:1.16  nature of untruth remains only as an acceptance of insanity. What I  will help you now to do is to reject this insanity and to accept the
D:1.17  Self you have learned that you are. But further learning is not what  will complete the transformation of the personal self to the elevated
D:1.17  transformation of the personal self to the elevated Self. Learning  will not sustain Christ-consciousness.
D:1.18 So what is it that we  will now do? If I do not teach, and you do not learn, what is our
D:1.18  for completing this transformation? As you have been shown, this  will not occur by means of preparation but by means of acceptance.
D:1.18  not occur by means of preparation but by means of acceptance. This  will not occur by means of trying but by means of surrender.
D:1.22  continued learning and a continuing relationship with a teacher who  will guide you through the application of what you have learned. You
D:1.26  you know not. This is not the case. When you fully accept this, you  will see that it is true. Like the acceptance of unity that could not
D:2.1  Obviously, when you consider this definition of acceptance, you  will see that this is not the way of the old. Willingness to receive
D:2.2  accept or receive the truth of who you are and the revelations that  will show you how to live as who you are within the world—and you
D:2.3 The patterns of the new  will begin to arise naturally when you deny the patterns of the old.
D:2.3  not what they do.” You must understand that you do know, and you  will know, as soon as the patterns of old have been denied. Denial is
D:2.4  design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of this pattern  will but interfere with your full acceptance of who you are in truth.
D:2.8  do not realize that you have learned all that you need to learn, you  will retain the consciousness of the separated self rather than
D:2.10  for you in the past. That they seemed to work is the illusion that  will give way as you deny yourself access to the old so that the new
D:2.11 If you  will examine this pattern of what you have believed “works for you,”
D:2.11  examine this pattern of what you have believed “works for you,” you  will find that you believe that each and every pattern will work in
D:2.11  for you,” you will find that you believe that each and every pattern  will work in one instance and not in another and that you make this
D:2.12 This  will not often prevent you from trying the same thing again although
D:2.12  prevent you from trying the same thing again although at times it  will. No matter what you try, however, it is based on this concept of
D:2.13  you learned ideas such as “when all else fails, plain old hard work  will see you through,” or that “safety is the absence of risk
D:2.19  no new learning or new systems based on the learning patterns of old  will work. Thus we begin anew.
D:2.20  “If the old way doesn't work, teach me a new way.” You would say, “I  will work hard to learn and to implement the new if you will just
D:2.20  say, “I will work hard to learn and to implement the new if you  will just tell me what that new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the
D:2.20  that new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the new pattern and I  will put it into effect.”
D:2.23  agreement God asks of you, your part of the shared agreement that  will fulfill the promises of your inheritance. This is the Covenant
D:3.1  requires is the acceptance of the new and the denial of the old that  will allow for the sustainability of Christ-consciousness in form.
D:3.3  You are the ushers, the pioneers of the new. Your work, as  will be often repeated, is to accept the new, and deny or refuse to
D:3.3  the new, and deny or refuse to accept the old. Only in this way  will the new triumph over the old.
D:3.4  and triumph, words unusual to the body of this work but words that  will become usual in our normal conversation in this dialogue. I use
D:3.5  to your Self. In the same way, the mending of the rift of duality  will return the world to its Self. The mending of the rift of duality
D:3.5  and unity of Christ-consciousness. Sustaining Christ-consciousness  will accomplish the same thing in your world.
D:3.9  by the wholehearted self in union with all, are the ideas that  will allow new patterns to emerge and the design of the future to be
D:3.10 You  will notice that all of these ideas have in common a quality of
D:3.10  a quality of oneness. Oneness replaces duality or contrast. You  will be seeking now for replacements for that which formerly ordered
D:3.10  for replacements for that which formerly ordered your life. Thus we  will speak of these replacements.
D:3.15  mean to the elevated Self of form? Using this dialogue as an example  will serve to explain. This dialogue is continuous and ongoing. It is
D:3.17 This is why I  will often repeat that I am no longer your teacher. You must realize
D:3.17  as student. While you think of yourself as a learning being you  will still be looking to something or someone “other” than your Self
D:3.18  between the Self and the elevated Self of form. The Self was and  will always remain more than the body. The body, however, is also
D:3.19  birthed even though my Self was eternal. One of the major things we  will be seeing as we proceed is the difference between form and
D:3.19  and the difference in the way separate forms express content. It  will be challenging to become aware that different expressions do not
D:3.20  systems life-giving and life-supporting? The patterns of the new  will create only such life-giving and life-supporting systems—as
D:3.21  that this is just the first step revealed and that many of you  will feel already as if you are being asked to learn again and not
D:4.3 It is time now for this idea to be accepted, for if it is not, you  will remain in the prison you have created.
D:4.5  you remain incarcerated in a system that tells you when you  will awaken, how you will spend your day and when you will retire.
D:4.5  in a system that tells you when you will awaken, how you  will spend your day and when you will retire. You remain at the mercy
D:4.5  you when you will awaken, how you will spend your day and when you  will retire. You remain at the mercy of those who are incarcerated
D:4.6  when shape and form was given to what you fear and what you believe  will protect you.
D:4.8  is all any of you have known. An internally structured life  will quickly replace the life of the inmate if you will but let it do
D:4.8  structured life will quickly replace the life of the inmate if you  will but let it do so. Even those who actually are incarcerated in
D:4.13  Both of these divine patterns are being newly recreated and we  will talk much more of them and of the creative time we are now
D:4.18  new structure around the new pattern of acceptance, a structure that  will provide you with the home on Earth you have so long sought and
D:4.19  to follow in order to build the new—but as structure that  will provide you with parameters in which to begin to experience your
D:4.22  in which you cannot be fully yourself because of the security it  will provide, you are but tempted by a false security, and are called
D:4.26  proceed. But I tell you truthfully, your release is at hand and it  will come from your own authority and no place else. It is up to you
D:4.27  with yourself? That if you are unwilling to claim your freedom it  will not claim you?
D:4.30 Understand—this cannot be fearful. This cannot fail. This  will not bring suffering but will end suffering. Your part is to
D:4.30  be fearful. This cannot fail. This will not bring suffering but  will end suffering. Your part is to invite it and accept it when it
D:4.31  to the Covenant of the New, are one and the same, these reasons  will disappear. All the different reasons you would cite become what
D:4.31  cite become what they are—one reason, the same reason—and you  will see that what is one is neither the same nor different. You will
D:4.31  you will see that what is one is neither the same nor different. You  will see that there is one answer, an answer different for everyone
D:5.4  and surrounds you, the boundaries between the inner and outer world  will diminish and eventually cease to be.
D:5.9  in your world. Everywhere you look the lie of false representation  will be exposed and the truth will be represented once again. As was
D:5.9  look the lie of false representation will be exposed and the truth  will be represented once again. As was said earlier, this seeing of
D:5.11  that you are not called to reinterpret but to accept revelation. You  will not arrive at the truth through thinking about what everything
D:5.11  the truth, your representation, in the new time that is before us,  will be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this means that
D:5.11  be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this means that form  will never be all that you are, but will return to being as it was
D:5.11  Simply put, this means that form will never be all that you are, but  will return to being as it was intended and will represent the truth
D:5.11  be all that you are, but will return to being as it was intended and  will represent the truth of who you are. This true representation,
D:5.12  the time of learning are all that exist in all you see. But what now  will become of these patterns that are no longer needed as your
D:5.12  to represent what is and aid you in your return to what is,  will become what is once again. What you can see with your body's
D:5.12  become what is once again. What you can see with your body's eyes  will not be all that is but will represent all that is truly.
D:5.12  What you can see with your body's eyes will not be all that is but  will represent all that is truly.
D:5.13 What was made of what was created in order to serve the ego  will cease to be, just as the ego has ceased to be. To outline and
D:5.15  ancient as the sea and stars, the elevated Self of form is new and  will create a new world.
D:5.20  approaching another thought reversal. Fear not that your confusion  will last, for with this thought reversal will come your final
D:5.20  not that your confusion will last, for with this thought reversal  will come your final release.
D:5.21 You  will soon wonder, if you haven't already, just how it is going to be
D:5.21  a form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your being. You  will wonder how, if you are done learning, the patterns of learning
D:5.21  will wonder how, if you are done learning, the patterns of learning  will change to help you embrace the acceptance of this new time of no
D:5.21  to help you embrace the acceptance of this new time of no time. You  will wonder how to live in time as a being no longer bound by time.
D:5.21  I tell you truly, that once acceptance of what is is complete, we  will go on to these questions of the new and together we will find
D:5.21  we will go on to these questions of the new and together we  will find the answers.
D:5.22  heart. Let this be the day of your final surrender, the day that  will usher in a new day.
D:6.2  the text of your coursework was that of comparison, a method that  will be used less and less as the time of learning passes. The
D:6.4  true Self is beginning to reveal itself to you in ways of which you  will become increasingly aware. As you identify more intimately with
D:6.5  seen in a new way. It is thus with new ideas about the body that we  will begin the final thought reversal that will allow you to live in
D:6.5  about the body that we will begin the final thought reversal that  will allow you to live in form as who you truly are.
D:6.11  longer living in an “if this, then that” world, then the same laws  will naturally not apply. You developed an “if this, then that” world
D:6.14  into the new with your old ideas about your body, the old body  will be what you carry into the new with you. So let us begin with a
D:6.14  in this time of revelation, discovery is the new divine pattern that  will replace the “thought” systems we have spoken of. To discover is
D:6.15 Creation of the new  will be predicated on the discovery of what you did not previously
D:6.15  on the discovery of what you did not previously know. This  will not happen if you cling to “known” truths. Revelation cannot
D:6.17  and the “new” as a world in which giving and receiving are one, you  will begin to see the enormity of the thought reversal that now
D:6.18  that if you take care of the body in certain ways, then good health  will result. You have been taught that if your body expends energy,
D:6.18  You have been taught that if your body expends energy, then it  will need the refueling provided by food or rest. The list could be
D:6.18  by food or rest. The list could be endless, but these examples  will suffice. These modes of behavior concerning the body were given
D:6.21 When you remember that we have left blaming behind, you  will see that belief in fate is just as systematic and in need of
D:6.21  no longer need this type of learning device and to realize that it  will no longer serve you.
D:6.26  in time and outside of time. Remember, the elevated Self of form  will never be all that you are. This does not imply however, that
D:6.26  of shared consciousness. You are whole once again and your form  will merely represent one aspect of your wholeness in the field of
D:7.2  used because you were still, at that time, a learning being. Now we  will adjust our language somewhat to represent the new and restate
D:7.3  of form and unity. When Christ-consciousness is sustained, time  will collapse and the sun may not need to rise or set to separate day
D:7.3  need to rise or set to separate day into night. Resting and waking  will be part of the same continuum of being.
D:7.9  are. The body, rather than aiding you in learning as it once did,  will aid you now in this discovery.
D:7.12  but had forgotten. Memory has returned you to your Self. Discovery  will allow the new you to come into being by revealing what you do
D:7.16  observation because it is not about what your body's eyes see, and  will increasingly join with what you observe until your vision is
D:7.20  time-bound field of creation of form. As your awareness grows, you  will begin to expand and express in new ways. Those ways thus now
D:7.24  to improve the fate of man. Everyone secretly fears that evolution  will not keep pace with the changing world and that man's reign over
D:7.24  with the changing world and that man's reign over his environment  will come to an abrupt and painful end. Some even fear an
D:7.26  you have learned to view your body in the field of time. This  will be helpful now as you begin to imagine the “more” that you are,
D:7.27  are rarely consciously aware of existing in this “larger” home, you  will not always be aware of this circle of the Self as the All of
D:7.27  be aware of this circle of the Self as the All of Everything, and it  will, in fact, be helpful as we begin, to imagine on a smaller scale.
D:7.29 Thus we  will begin once again with parameters, with a territory of shared
D:7.29  than with consciousness of the All of Everything. This territory we  will call the territory of your conscious awareness. This territory
D:7.29  your body exists within the larger territory of the planet Earth. We  will begin here, with the territory of your conscious awareness,
D:7.29  of your conscious awareness, knowing that discovery and revelation  will expand this territory, and realizing that no matter how small
D:7.29  realizing that no matter how small this cosmic territory may be, it  will still at times give way to awareness of the All of Everything.
D:8.1  space, no particularity. It is an area of unlimited freedom. Yet we  will begin with parameters that make this area as imaginable to you
D:8.6 This idea  will aid you too in your understanding of discovery, as your natural
D:8.6  in “A Treatise on the New”, these surprises of discovery have, and  will, cause you to laugh and be joyous. There was never any need, and
D:8.6  cause you to laugh and be joyous. There was never any need, and  will never be any need, to figure them out—for surprises cannot be
D:8.7 While discovery of the new  will naturally include much that goes beyond what you now think of as
D:8.7  an already existing awareness of the Source of unity beyond the body  will increase your comfort level, and will help establish it as the
D:8.7  of unity beyond the body will increase your comfort level, and  will help establish it as the first parameter in the territory of
D:8.9  dialogues. As the mind opens and accepts the new, the art of thought  will become your new means of thinking. What has been learned will
D:8.9  will become your new means of thinking. What has been learned  will become an ability to think wholeheartedly, or with mind and
D:8.9  or with mind and heart in union, and then that ability  will transcend ability and wholehearted will become what you are, and
D:8.9  union, and then that ability will transcend ability and wholehearted  will become what you are, and wholeheartedness your sole means of
D:8.13  unchanged. When you choose to take this step it is taken. What you  will become aware of on the other side of that door will require a
D:8.13  taken. What you will become aware of on the other side of that door  will require a new way of seeing, a new kind of awareness.
D:9.8  Treatise on the Art of Thought” was but a forerunner to what we now  will embrace together. It was a means and an end.
D:9.9  Its Recognition”. What was taught in order to aid your “recognition”  will clearly be different from what is revealed once that recognition

D:10.4  individual self. You may feel that to think of this in any other way  will leave you with no individual, personal accomplishment, nothing
D:10.7  allowed to replace the pattern of learning, this way of discovery  will be a constant coming to know of what is as well as a constant
D:11.6 Let me ask you a question. Do you think desire  will still be with you when you have achieved what you have desired?
D:11.6  desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a time in which desire  will no longer serve you, just as learning now no longer serves you?
D:11.6  in that state, fully accept that your contribution is being made,  will desire still be with you?
D:11.8  the way in which these words have been given and received, you  will see that you can fully accept the way of unity.
D:11.10  is the same as your desire to make your thoughts into answers that  will provide you with direction. As was said earlier, you dare not,
D:11.10  seek again for answers when this has been accepted. Because you  will know and fully accept that the answers lie within.
D:11.12 The giving and receiving of these words  will never make sense within the terms of the world you have always
D:11.12  within the terms of the world you have always known. No explanation  will ever be good enough for those who set limits upon the truth. But
D:11.12  disbelief, the answer to the giving and receiving of these words  will provide the answer to the question your thoughts cannot quite
D:11.13  same evidence to your brothers and sisters that I know who they are,  will tell you something of the nature of who you are if you but let
D:12.9  distinction between thinking and thought. This distinction, while it  will not be consistent with your dictionary's definition of these
D:12.9  shared with you in dialogue, but the thoughts. Thus this distinction  will suffice for our further discussion in this chapter.
D:12.10  come to you in a reflective moment at the end of the day. Again we  will see the idea of thoughts “coming to you” at such times. This is
D:12.12  comfortable with the idea that, released of old patterns, the self  will join with unity more and more frequently, until finally you will
D:12.12  will join with unity more and more frequently, until finally you  will sustain Christ consciousness and live in the world as the
D:12.13 One of the primary ideas that  will assist you in leaving patterns of thinking behind is the idea
D:12.14  of what the “thoughts” that come to you from unity may be like, you  will undoubtedly realize this: You have had such thoughts already,
D:12.16  has not yet occurred but that you are given the certainty to know  will occur. But once you have felt this certainty, you will never be
D:12.16  to know will occur. But once you have felt this certainty, you  will never be so sure again that you cannot know the truth. Adding
D:12.16  know the truth. Adding the phrase “beyond a shadow of a doubt”  will be something you no longer need add to your knowing of the truth
D:12.16  you no longer need add to your knowing of the truth because you  will realize its redundancy.
D:12.18 Some of you  will have credited your personal or individual self with the
D:12.18  individual self with the “figuring out” of this truth. Others of you  will have recognized the “voice” of authority with which this truth
D:13.1 There is no danger, in this time, that you  will know the truth and then discover that you were wrong. You know
D:13.1  of what you know. But this desire to proclaim what you know  will grow in you, and while you will not be “wrong” in what you know,
D:13.1  desire to proclaim what you know will grow in you, and while you  will not be “wrong” in what you know, you may have difficulty in
D:13.2 What you  will be coming to know in this new way of discovery will be coming to
D:13.2 What you will be coming to know in this new way of discovery  will be coming to you from the state of unity, from a state you share
D:13.2  two issues of great import contained within this statement, and we  will explore each separately.
D:13.3 The first is that what you  will be discovering, what you will be coming to know, will be coming
D:13.3 The first is that what you will be discovering, what you  will be coming to know, will be coming to you from the state of
D:13.3  that what you will be discovering, what you will be coming to know,  will be coming to you from the state of unity, which is a shared
D:13.3  from the state of unity, which is a shared state. Although what you  will be coming to know is already known to you, it will still come in
D:13.3  Although what you will be coming to know is already known to you, it  will still come in the form of a surprising discovery, a joyous
D:13.3  identity of the Self and all that lives along with you. This knowing  will, for a while yet, be surprising because it will be reversing the
D:13.3  you. This knowing will, for a while yet, be surprising because it  will be reversing the insanity of your life as you have known it thus
D:13.3  insanity of your life as you have known it thus far. These reversals  will be among the first revelations and will seem quite simple and
D:13.3  it thus far. These reversals will be among the first revelations and  will seem quite simple and pleasing as they enter your awareness, but
D:13.4  through the new means available to you within the state of unity  will still seem, at times, to need to be learned anew in daily
D:13.4  to need to be learned anew in daily living. This is knowing that  will often come in a flash, and is, in a sense, a humorous metaphor
D:13.4  another look at your Bible for many stories such as these, and you  will read account after account of people who did not know how to
D:13.5  of unity is in union and thus is whole. Therefore the knowing that  will be coming to you will be given in a state of wholeness. You have
D:13.5  and thus is whole. Therefore the knowing that will be coming to you  will be given in a state of wholeness. You have previously learned of
D:13.5  to know in wholeness, a way that is actually natural to you, it  will seem so foreign at times that you will feel “blinded” by the
D:13.5  actually natural to you, it will seem so foreign at times that you  will feel “blinded” by the light of knowing. You will realize that
D:13.5  at times that you will feel “blinded” by the light of knowing. You  will realize that you know something you did not know before in form,
D:13.5  know before in form, that it is important, monumental even; but you  will be unable to “see” this knowing, to envision it in the world of
D:13.6 You  will know that this knowing must be shared. And yet, you will not, at
D:13.6 You will know that this knowing must be shared. And yet, you  will not, at first, fully realize that this sharing is not needed so
D:13.6  attained a state of being able to sustain Christ consciousness, this  will no longer be a problem because you will constantly abide in
D:13.6  Christ consciousness, this will no longer be a problem because you  will constantly abide in awareness of the relationship of unity. But
D:13.6  of the relationship of unity. But until this state is achieved, you  will move in and out of states of awareness of the relationship of
D:13.7 This need not overly concern you as it  will not affect you as it did those of the past because you are
D:13.8  individuality, with separate thoughts, and with the idea that no one  will ever be able to truly know you. But join with others who are
D:13.8  experiencing the expanding awareness of the time of Christ, and you  will begin to see the evidence that things are different now. Join
D:13.8  to know through the state of unity, and the evidence to the contrary  will be overwhelming. You will begin to truly understand that you are
D:13.8  of unity, and the evidence to the contrary will be overwhelming. You  will begin to truly understand that you are not alone and separate,
D:13.9  relationship? Partial expression, yes. But that partial expression  will bear the mark of your perspective, and that is why partial truth
D:13.11  share or express the authority and truth you know it represents, you  will, by living according to what you know to be the truth, form the
D:13.11  you know to be the truth, form the very relationships and union that  will allow the truth to be shared. The relationship or union, in
D:14.2 Here it  will be helpful to keep in mind the idea of “as within, so without.”
D:14.4  to view your invulnerability as a testing ground against fate, you  will, to a certain extent, need to remember your invulnerability in
D:14.4  the discovery that lies beyond the body and mind, form and time. You  will need to put into practice the suspension of belief that was
D:14.4  practice the suspension of belief that was spoken of earlier. You  will need, in short, to set aside the known in order to discover the
D:14.5  by not worrying about it and allowing it to be and unfold as it  will?” Questions such as, “While I realize that the facts would tell
D:14.8 Your openness  will not only leave the way open for revelation but for cooperation.
D:14.13  not as yet recognize is going to be recognized. Once recognized it  will begin to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through
D:14.13  to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it  will become your identity.” That treasure is the new way of thought
D:14.17  and time. Becoming the elevated Self of form is becoming whole, and  will be the way in which source and cause transform body and mind,
D:15.1  way of creation as it is. It has not always been the same, and it  will not be the same in the future as it is now. But there are
D:15.1  the patterns that were created for your time of learning and that  will be applied anew to the creation of new patterns for the new time
D:15.12  passes through you. Now is the time when the fruit of those efforts  will be reaped. For what passes through you now is a relationship
D:15.16  been prepared for this by the realization that your thinking mind  will no longer be necessary as your access to unity, or
D:15.18  something of value, and that you wish to take care of it so that it  will continue to be of service to you. Maintenance implies a certain
D:15.18  vigilance, and anticipation, the value of what you seek to maintain  will be lost. Thus we look at maintenance as the work, or
D:15.18  is possible in this time. You realize that some breaks in service  will still occur, that maintenance will not make the connection
D:15.18  that some breaks in service will still occur, that maintenance  will not make the connection perfect, but that it will keep it of
D:15.18  that maintenance will not make the connection perfect, but that it  will keep it of service to you.
D:15.19  to serve you. You thus must strive to maintain the conditions that  will allow it to do so. This is, as with all maintenance, a temporary
D:15.20  need to maintain conditions that allow it to be present. Maintenance  will lead to sustenance.
D:15.21  of all that is available within unity, or Christ-consciousness,  will no longer be needed. This will be as big a step as was the step
D:15.21  unity, or Christ-consciousness, will no longer be needed. This  will be as big a step as was the step that left behind the conditions
D:15.23  that when you return to the level ground from which you climbed, you  will be different as a result of having made your ascent. The hard
D:15.24 What you  will have gained on your return will be the goal itself—the
D:15.24 What you will have gained on your return  will be the goal itself—the sustenance—for what you will have
D:15.24  your return will be the goal itself—the sustenance—for what you  will have gained will never leave you but will sustain you
D:15.24  be the goal itself—the sustenance—for what you will have gained  will never leave you but will sustain you forevermore.
D:15.24  sustenance—for what you will have gained will never leave you but  will sustain you forevermore.
D:16.1  and expression come together into the recreation of wholeness that  will be expressed in the elevated Self of form.
D:16.4  of the condition of time. Once these principles are unified, time  will have ended just as time was once begun.
D:16.5  you move from the state of becoming to the state of being whole, you  will have moved through the act of creation and you will have become
D:16.5  being whole, you will have moved through the act of creation and you  will have become a creator. You will be ready for creation of the new.
D:16.5  through the act of creation and you will have become a creator. You  will be ready for creation of the new.
D:16.10  you are not yet whole. When you are whole, creation's principles  will be what you do and what you are rather than what is happening to
D:16.13  promised you. This is the creation of the new you that you were told  will precede the creation of the new world. This is what is meant by
D:16.21  the time of learning to be replaced with the only replacement that  will sustain Christ-consciousness, the replacement of learning with
D:17.10  beyond the state of initiation. You are no longer hopeful for what  will come. Hope is desire accompanied by expectation. To expect is to
D:17.14  earlier, for they are even more pertinent now. Do you think desire  will still be with you when you have achieved what you have desired?
D:17.14  desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a time in which desire  will no longer serve you, just as learning now no longer serves you?
D:17.14  in that state, fully accept that your contribution is being made,  will desire still be with you?

D:Day1.2  continue to send your prayers to a god who is other than you, you  will not cross the threshold.
D:Day1.3  but to an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who I am, you  will not fully accept who you are. Without your willingness to
D:Day1.3  you are. Without your willingness to achieve this acceptance, you  will not receive the secret of succession presented here. You can

D:Day1.3  You can read of it still, but it will not convey to you what it  will convey to those who have accepted me. You will return to level
D:Day1.3  convey to you what it will convey to those who have accepted me. You  will return to level ground with eyes unopened and listen to parables
D:Day1.4  behind. This is required. This does not mean the married woman  will not relate to many men in many ways, have many male friends,
D:Day1.7  here. If you believe this mountain peak is merely metaphorical, you  will not realize that you have ascended or that you have left behind
D:Day1.7  of wisdom and that you can remain ambivalent about their source, you  will not know me nor accept me, and you will not know or accept your
D:Day1.7  about their source, you will not know me nor accept me, and you  will not know or accept your Self.
D:Day1.10  the spacecraft as necessary.” Lest this example fail to move you I  will continue.
D:Day1.24  of paradise and of your true Self and true home, in a form that  will take you beyond time to eternity.
D:Day1.26 You are living history. You are living what  will tomorrow be history. You are living creation. You are living
D:Day1.26  tomorrow be history. You are living creation. You are living what  will tomorrow be the story of creation. A chain of events is merely
D:Day1.26  of being into form and the movement of being beyond form. What  will be realized through the secret of succession is the elevation of
D:Day2.6  You continue to have a nagging feeling that this stone of regret  will always keep you anchored to the self you once were, that no
D:Day2.6  to the self you once were, that no matter how high you ascend, it  will continue to drag you back.
D:Day2.7 This is the feeling that  will prevent you from receiving the secret of succession. It is like
D:Day2.7  of succession. It is like the force of gravity, a feeling that you  will not be able to remain at this height long enough to benefit from
D:Day2.7  be able to remain at this height long enough to benefit from what  will be shared here.
D:Day2.15  to accept yourself. This unconditional acceptance is necessary. I  will give you one final example in order to make our discussion as
D:Day2.17  symbolic of the end of yours when so much suffering has continued. I  will add here the example of my resurrection. It is hard for you to
D:Day2.17  my time. It is difficult for you to believe that by following me you  will not walk in my footsteps. Perhaps you will be granted eternal
D:Day2.17  that by following me you will not walk in my footsteps. Perhaps you  will be granted eternal life, but not until you have suffered as I
D:Day2.23  all that suffering upon myself and kill it. To say, here is what we  will do with suffering. We will take it away once and for all. We
D:Day2.23  and kill it. To say, here is what we will do with suffering. We  will take it away once and for all. We will crucify it upon the cross
D:Day2.23  we will do with suffering. We will take it away once and for all. We  will crucify it upon the cross of time and space, bury it, so that it
D:Day2.26  my life demonstrated but needs to be demonstrated anew. But this  will not happen if you cling to suffering. If you do not accept your
D:Day3.1  anger. We have already spoken of denial, albeit in a new way. Now we  will speak of anger, in both an old and a new way. Let me suggest to
D:Day3.4  painful ways—said “no” to learning through the heart. Many of you  will admit to growing a bit angry with the beginning of this Course
D:Day3.5  felt a great deal of this anger yet, but it is there, and here we  will discuss its function.
D:Day3.6  abundance. Feel your body's reaction to this statement. Some of you  will feel excitement at the idea of this issue being finally
D:Day3.7  associated with mind. It is through your mind that these new ideas  will change your actions and your life, your mind that, through
D:Day3.7  actions and your life, your mind that, through increased stillness,  will give you more peace, your mind that will accept comfort of a
D:Day3.7  increased stillness, will give you more peace, your mind that  will accept comfort of a certain type, even extending to a new
D:Day3.8 You may believe that having a spiritual context for your life  will assist you in feeling more loved and possibly even assist you in
D:Day3.9 Just posing the idea that having a spiritual context for your life  will assist you in living abundantly will cause you to think, “I

D:Day3.19  to be greater than that of your brothers and sisters. A few of you  will not feel this, and if you are among those few, do not skip past
D:Day3.20  those who do not experience abundance have done something wrong. We  will return to this, but first let's continue with the denial of

D:Day3.25  the ideas that taught you that you do not have enough, that you  will only have what you can earn or learn, that only through effort
D:Day3.25  will only have what you can earn or learn, that only through effort  will you gain, and that with your gain will come another's loss. In

D:Day3.34  away. I know you expect a flowery answer, and surely not one that  will be a “one, two, three steps to abundance” answer; but I will try
D:Day3.34  that will be a “one, two, three steps to abundance” answer; but I  will try to address you in an in-between tone, one that will not

D:Day3.36  It is only in relationship with the God within that the way  will become clear.

D:Day3.49 Many of you  will have already entered this step, this step of considering how
D:Day3.50  have been promised. But many of your ideas and actions at this stage  will be tinged with the anger that came before it. Here is where you
D:Day3.58  just another word, another concept, another trick of the mind, you  will not see it as the replacement of learning, and as such as an
D:Day4.1 While we  will broaden the focus of today's dialogue beyond that of money or
D:Day4.1  the focus of today's dialogue beyond that of money or abundance, we  will still be addressing this area of your concern, as well as all
D:Day4.1  as you begin to move through the steps toward acceptance. Your anger  will be serving you here as it brings attention to these areas most
D:Day4.1  separate. Although my arguments were not fed by anger, your response  will almost surely have been tinged with it at times. Although my
D:Day4.1  were not fed by anger, the arguments that arise now for you  will be and as such are actually appropriate to this stage of our

D:Day4.2  that we are on the same side. The arguments we will be having  will be meant to show you this: That on one side are the temptations

D:Day4.34 There is a similar type of focus that  will serve you now. It is not a tool, as is meditation, for you are
D:Day4.35  just a little beyond where it is comfortable going, that there you  will find this access, this portal to all that lies beyond time and
D:Day4.38  replaced by love. If you fear to go where the portal of access  will take you, you will not go. Thus your desire needs to be greater
D:Day4.38  If you fear to go where the portal of access will take you, you  will not go. Thus your desire needs to be greater than your fear.

D:Day4.44  full access has been revealed, what is yours is everything. But you  will be different.
D:Day4.46  choice for you, for you know exactly what it means. It means you  will be as I am. It means you will live from love rather than from
D:Day4.46  exactly what it means. It means you will be as I am. It means you  will live from love rather than from fear. It means that you will
D:Day4.46  you will live from love rather than from fear. It means that you  will demonstrate what living from love is. It means that you will
D:Day4.46  you will demonstrate what living from love is. It means that you  will resurrect to eternal life here and now. It means no turning
D:Day4.46  It means no longer trying to leave these things behind for they  will be gone. It will mean no longer striving. It will mean no
D:Day4.46  longer trying to leave these things behind for they will be gone. It  will mean no longer striving. It will mean no specialness. It will
D:Day4.46  behind for they will be gone. It will mean no longer striving. It  will mean no specialness. It will mean the individual is gone, and
D:Day4.46  It will mean no longer striving. It will mean no specialness. It  will mean the individual is gone, and the self of union all that
D:Day4.46  is gone, and the self of union all that continues to exist. It  will mean peace, certainty, safety, and joy with no price.
D:Day4.47 The old challenges, the old reasons for existing  will be gone. All that will be left to do will be the creation of a
D:Day4.47  old challenges, the old reasons for existing will be gone. All that  will be left to do will be the creation of a new world in the only

D:Day4.48  you have chosen. Once this difference is wholly known to you, we  will begin true discussion of creation of the new, for you will be

D:Day4.49  to continue on without making this wholehearted choice, but you  will read only to learn and learning will not transform you. If you

D:Day4.49  meet the condition of being fearless, you will know this, and you  will pass through the time of coming to acceptance again and again
D:Day4.52  but now you need to see their connection, for if you do not, you  will not realize that fear is all that needs to be left behind. You
D:Day4.52  will not realize that fear is all that needs to be left behind. You  will still think you have more to learn because you are angry,
D:Day4.53  you can move forward. If you can move forward without fear, you  will move forward only with love. If you move forward only with love,
D:Day4.53  move forward only with love. If you move forward only with love, you  will have realized there is nothing unacceptable about who you are
D:Day4.56  To truly experience relationship. It is from this beginning that you  will come to be as I am.

D:Day4.58  were. These things will not leave you before you leave them. But you  will leave them.
D:Day4.59 Join me in this choice, and we  will leave behind the old and continue our movement toward creation
D:Day4.60  however. But one is needed to begin this movement. Followers  will naturally succeed the first although this will occur with no
D:Day4.60  movement. Followers will naturally succeed the first although this  will occur with no fanfare and no “one” to follow. The first will

D:Day5.1 A point of access  will no longer be needed once full entry is attained, just as a key
D:Day5.1  once a door has been unlocked and passed through. Even though it  will not be permanently needed, however, this point of access will
D:Day5.1  it will not be permanently needed, however, this point of access  will remain crucial as long as you maintain rather than sustain the
D:Day5.1  rather than sustain the state of unity. This point of access  will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a
D:Day5.2 For each of you this access point  will in truth be the same, but perhaps quite different in the action
D:Day5.9  Self rather than the pump that functions as part of your body, it  will be helpful to have identified this chosen access point for unity
D:Day5.10  is still fine-tuning to your understanding to be done, and this  will be done as you come to know what unity is, and so more fully
D:Day5.12 Access to unity  will seem, at first, a quite individual accomplishment, something one
D:Day5.14 Like love, unity has one source and many expressions. It  will be in your unique expression of union that your Self will come
D:Day5.14  It will be in your unique expression of union that your Self  will come to wholeness and you will be fully who you are and able to
D:Day5.14  expression of union that your Self will come to wholeness and you  will be fully who you are and able to express love fully.
D:Day5.15  or “making real” of your accomplishment, and its expression,  will not look the same way twice. What you each desire from union
D:Day5.15  not look the same way twice. What you each desire from union most  will be what finds the greatest expression through you.
D:Day5.18  want to know the specifics of how this thing called access to unity  will work, you are also impatient with specifics. You want immediate
D:Day5.18  relief and an end to effort, not another lesson to learn that you  will be told is not a lesson. Not another cause for seeming effort in
D:Day5.19  order to understand the way in which that movement is achieved, you  will almost surely once again have doubts. Doubts are never more
D:Day5.22 No longer  will what enters you get stopped by layers of defenses. No longer
D:Day5.22  will what enters you get stopped by layers of defenses. No longer  will it meet the road-block of your thinking, your effort, your
D:Day5.22  While the ego is gone, effort remains, and while it remains, you  will not realize full access to what you are given. We are speaking
D:Day5.23  to the image of the healer that was discussed earlier. While many  will heal, all attempts to teach or learn “how to” heal must be
D:Day5.23  “how to” heal must be thwarted, for if not, the pattern of learning  will remain. This is why there have always seemed to be “secrets”
D:Day5.24  remain as what it is—untaught and unlearned. Each gain from unity  will only, in this way, be seen as the new givens come to replace
D:Day5.26  you are fully aware of this is when full access is attained. So we  will continue our work now in releasing you from those things that
D:Day6.1 We now  will discuss being the true Self while becoming the true Self—the
D:Day6.3  must address this time so that any confusion it seems to be causing  will not delay your progress.
D:Day6.4  between the creation of art and the work we are doing here, we  will return to this example. We have spoken of becoming as the time
D:Day6.7  or only late in its development. But at some point, the sharing  will take place, and the reactions of those with whom the music is
D:Day6.7  take place, and the reactions of those with whom the music is shared  will impact the artist and the piece. Positive reactions might
D:Day6.7  determined than ever to see the piece through to the point where it  will be appreciated. Finishing touches will be put on the piece. Some
D:Day6.7  through to the point where it will be appreciated. Finishing touches  will be put on the piece. Some collaboration might take place to get
D:Day6.8  piece, but determining to see the project through, knowing that it  will make the next piece or the next a better piece of music.
D:Day6.9  completed rhythm, lyrics without notes, or a completed work that  will qualify more as practice than as art, the piece exists. In each
D:Day6.9  and full, and true expression of the artist's idea, however,  will it and the artist be one.
D:Day6.11  of becoming. You have committed to completion of the becoming that  will create oneness between Creator and created. You have developed
D:Day6.11  are being who you are right now and eliciting the expression that  will take you to the final stage of being who you will be in oneness.
D:Day6.11  expression that will take you to the final stage of being who you  will be in oneness.
D:Day6.12 You are not separate now from who you  will be when you reach completion! You are in and within the
D:Day6.13  in daily life—I want to acknowledge the difficulty some of you  will seem to be experiencing even while pointing out to you that life
D:Day6.15  rebel and find many reasons not to make it so. And so, abundance  will have to come first, lack of cause for worry will have to come
D:Day6.15  And so, abundance will have to come first, lack of cause for worry  will have to come first, an ability to focus on other than daily life
D:Day6.15  have to come first, an ability to focus on other than daily life  will have to come first. These are what these continuing dialogues
D:Day6.15  will have to come first. These are what these continuing dialogues  will facilitate.
D:Day6.16 They  will facilitate this by facilitating the acceptance of life as it is.
D:Day6.18 It also does not mean that many of you  will not have changed or will be changing the very fabric of your
D:Day6.18 It also does not mean that many of you will not have changed or  will be changing the very fabric of your daily life. Changes you feel
D:Day6.19  other way around. You cannot find a place outside of yourself that  will allow for the elevation of which we speak. There are no hallowed
D:Day6.19  of which we speak. There are no hallowed halls of learning that  will accomplish this. There is no mountain top in any location on
D:Day6.19  relationship we are developing in this elevated place within that  will bring to your full realization and manifestation without the
D:Day6.27  not creating new special relationships but the true devotion that  will replace special relationships forever.
D:Day6.30  time to wait while you learn, or think you learn, the qualities that  will allow this. This is the point of movement, being, and expression
D:Day6.31  life. Realize that this is just what we work toward! This difficulty  will pass through you as you allow for and accept where you are right
D:Day6.32  are not the conditions of the time of learning, and so you  will soon see that the difficulty of the time of learning truly is
D:Day6.33  us speak now of the conditions of the time of acceptance, for these  will cheer you.
D:Day7.6  and is life-generating rather than life-degenerating. Your bodies  will thus regenerate rather than degenerate. Love is, of course, not
D:Day7.6  attribute, but the effect of living from love rather than from fear  will have a major transformative effect on form in this time of
D:Day7.7 Another condition of the time of acceptance that  will be of great service to you now is that of the different
D:Day7.7  service to you now is that of the different relationship that you  will have with time. This is a time of convergence, intersection, and
D:Day7.7  you, as within, so without. As you let go of time's hold on you, it  will let go of you. Time will seem to expand but will actually be
D:Day7.7  As you let go of time's hold on you, it will let go of you. Time  will seem to expand but will actually be contracting into
D:Day7.7  hold on you, it will let go of you. Time will seem to expand but  will actually be contracting into nothingness. Time is replaced by
D:Day7.9  the time of learning. Thus it is the mind's acceptance of love that  will lead the body to exhibit the effects of love in the time of
D:Day7.10  little world and created its own universe. The elevated Self of form  will expand into the world and create a new universe. This condition
D:Day7.13  conditions and your relationship with each of these new conditions  will become clear to you.
D:Day7.14  or access to union is of supreme importance, since all else  will come of this. However, this is not an “if this, then that”
D:Day7.14  Your access to union sustains real life, the life of the Self, and  will come to sustain the elevated Self of form in a way as natural to
D:Day7.15 Access to unity is a phrase that  will only be used in this in-between time. You have always existed in
D:Day7.15  You have always existed in unity and once this is fully realized you  will no more need access to unity than you need access to breathing.
D:Day7.15  more need access to unity than you need access to breathing. Unity  will be your natural state.
D:Day7.16  the time of acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning,  will pass. There are no conditions in the state of union as there are
D:Day7.17 There  will be, however, a new stage following the time of acceptance in
D:Day7.17  following the time of acceptance in which the elevated Self of form  will be created and come into full manifestation.
D:Day7.20 The condition of the time of acceptance that  will most clearly reveal to you your status in regard to maintaining
D:Day7.20  status in regard to maintaining or sustaining your access to union  will be that of the replacement of doubt with certainty. Certainty is
D:Day7.21  sense of certainty that some of you may be experiencing. Thus these  will be the subject of our next dialogue.
D:Day8.2  it. Love yourself. Love yourself enough to accept yourself. Love  will transform normal, ordinary, life into extraordinary life. Loving
D:Day8.2  Loving exactly who you are and where you are in every moment is what  will cause the transformation that will end your desire to remove
D:Day8.2  you are in every moment is what will cause the transformation that  will end your desire to remove yourself from life. All those
D:Day8.6  your job, to assume that the conditions you did not like yesterday  will be the same today.
D:Day8.8  of the way you want to be but of the way you are now. There  will be many things within your life that will take some time to
D:Day8.8  the way you are now. There will be many things within your life that  will take some time to change, but many others that can change
D:Day8.8  that can change instantly through this radical acceptance. You  will find, once you have begun to practice acceptance of the present,
D:Day8.8  you have begun to practice acceptance of the present, that there  will be far fewer things you do not like, and that you will be shown,
D:Day8.8  that there will be far fewer things you do not like, and that you  will be shown, in the relationship you have in the present, the
D:Day8.9  do not like the gossip taking place in a present moment situation,  will enable you not to participate, judge, or appear to accept that
D:Day8.10 Not all situations  will seem as easy as this example. Acceptance does not require any
D:Day8.10  this example. Acceptance does not require any specific action but it  will lead to action that is consistent with who you are when you are
D:Day8.10  of who you are. Understand, however, that this eventual outcome  will never occur without the initial acceptance.
D:Day8.11 This acceptance is the only thing that  will truly prevent judgment, for it does not require you to be your
D:Day8.12  Will knowing your dislikes cause you to be intolerant? This is an
D:Day8.12  to others. Once acceptance of the Self begins to be practiced, you  will realize that the self of intolerance was the self of fear.
D:Day8.13 Remember that you have been told that your real Self  will be intolerant only of illusion and that this intolerance will
D:Day8.13  Self will be intolerant only of illusion and that this intolerance  will take the form of seeing only the truth rather than attempting to
D:Day8.13 —to the fear that feeds it, and beyond the fear to the love that  will dispel it. You are not called to walk away in disgust, showing
D:Day8.14 Even this type of seeing  will have remnants of righteousness attached to it if you do not
D:Day8.14  do not like it without accepting the feelings associated with it,  will make of it a mental construct, a rule you have set up for your
D:Day8.14  set up for your new self to follow. If this becomes the case, you  will find yourself adhering to a standard rather than acting from who
D:Day8.14  adhering to a standard rather than acting from who you are. You  will, in fact, have returned to judgment because you will have made a
D:Day8.14  you are. You will, in fact, have returned to judgment because you  will have made a predetermination, just as in saying you do not like
D:Day8.15  mental construct or rule that says you do not tolerate it, then you  will become intolerant. And because you will then act from a
D:Day8.15  do not tolerate it, then you will become intolerant. And because you  will then act from a predetermined standard rather than feeling the
D:Day8.15  the feelings associated with gossip in the present moment, you  will soon find that a bit of gossip will crop up in your own speech,
D:Day8.15  in the present moment, you will soon find that a bit of gossip  will crop up in your own speech, couched as something else, something
D:Day8.15  couched as something else, something even worse than gossip. You  will sigh, and reference something someone said or did that but shows
D:Day8.16  with the term or word certainty as it was used in the past, but you  will not want to confuse the term and the condition. You may think
D:Day8.16  away the type of certainty associated with the “term” of certainty  will cause you to be even less certain than you were before. You will
D:Day8.16  will cause you to be even less certain than you were before. You  will be less certain in your judgments and opinions, but this is
D:Day8.17  of yourself—in the present, as you are—for only by doing so  will you come to full acceptance of who you are and be able to allow
D:Day8.17  to merge with the self of form, thus elevating the self of form. You  will also, only in this way, come to true expression of the elevated
D:Day8.18  higher path to enlightenment. In denying your own feelings you  will tend also to deny the feelings of others. You will think that
D:Day8.18  own feelings you will tend also to deny the feelings of others. You  will think that you know the real from the unreal, truth from
D:Day8.18  that you know the real from the unreal, truth from illusion, and so  will disregard the feelings of others as if they do not matter. This
D:Day8.18  will disregard the feelings of others as if they do not matter. This  will only happen if you allow yourself to deny and thus become
D:Day8.19  of your own feelings, is not living in the present and  will create an attitude that will not be compassionate. This is why
D:Day8.19  is not living in the present and will create an attitude that  will not be compassionate. This is why we talk specifically here of
D:Day8.20  of a present moment situation, but see a future where the true Self  will be more evolved, evolved enough not to feel the anger or hurt,
D:Day8.21  realize that you no longer have cause to fear your feelings. They  will no longer be the source of the misdirection of the past if you
D:Day8.21  your feelings are of the truth. This is certainty. This is all that  will prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your previous
D:Day8.22 If anger arises in you now, it does not mean that you  will react in whatever way anger once called you to react and it does
D:Day8.24  It is about observing what is. The power to observe what is, is what  will keep you unified with your brothers and sisters rather than
D:Day8.26  in a state of non-acceptance and whatever peace you are feeling  will not last. Whatever access to unity you have experienced will not
D:Day8.26  feeling will not last. Whatever access to unity you have experienced  will not last because you will not be choosing the time of acceptance.
D:Day8.26  access to unity you have experienced will not last because you  will not be choosing the time of acceptance.
D:Day8.27  on unity when you are still in need of this full acceptance or you  will not reach the place of sustainability. Every situation and every
D:Day8.27  Every situation and every feeling that you do not like  will pull you from union toward separation. All feelings of
D:Day8.27  that which you do not like, or “how to” create a situation that you  will like. It is the bypassing of this “how to” function—a function
D:Day8.28 Realize how freeing it  will be to not go through the gyrations of attempting to figure out
D:Day8.28  “how to” reach acceptance of what you do not like! How freeing it  will be to realize you have no need to do this! How freeing it will
D:Day8.28  it will be to realize you have no need to do this! How freeing it  will be to accept all of your feelings and not to puzzle over which
D:Day9.1  from want, freedom from lack, freedom from repression, are what we  will now enjoy together on our mountain top retreat. We have not
D:Day9.4  reign, for it is your allowance, your choice, your permission, that  will make it so. The only one who can stop you now is yourself. The
D:Day9.5 We  will practice here to build your confidence, a confidence sorely
D:Day9.5  for the elevation of the self of form to take place. What good  will be the certainty of unity if the self of form has no confidence
D:Day9.17 How  will you ever realize, or make real, the Self you are when you strive
D:Day9.20  believe that we are proceeding to some predetermined ideal state, we  will not succeed in the work we are doing here together. For if you
D:Day9.20  in the work we are doing here together. For if you believe this, you  will not accept your Self as you are. If you do not accept your Self
D:Day9.20  your Self as you are. If you do not accept your Self as you are, you  will not move from image to presence. If you do not move from image
D:Day9.20  image to presence. If you do not move from image to presence you  will never realize your freedom. If you do not realize your freedom,
D:Day9.20  never realize your freedom. If you do not realize your freedom, you  will not realize your power.
D:Day9.23  this, however, your unique expression of your accomplishment  will not be realized.
D:Day9.30 Now we must return to you the freedom and the  will to fan the flames of your desire to be, and to express, who you
D:Day9.33 This pattern  will be easily replaced, however, as your acceptance of yourself as
D:Day9.33  to grow and to build your confidence. Unity and your access to unity  will be your certainty. Trust in your own abilities—the abilities
D:Day9.33 —the abilities of the self of form joined with the Self of union— will be your confidence. Only these combined abilities will release
D:Day9.33  of union—will be your confidence. Only these combined abilities  will release your power.
D:Day10.3  I am giving you cause for movement, the effect of which  will be the movement from conviction to reliance.
D:Day10.5  self-confidence. These needs are tied to your feelings and thus we  will return to a discussion of feelings in connection with the ideas
D:Day10.6 Confidence in your feelings  will lead to confidence in your Self. While you think it is your
D:Day10.6  in your Self. While you think it is your access to unity that  will be the more difficult to achieve and sustain, this will not be
D:Day10.6  unity that will be the more difficult to achieve and sustain, this  will not be the case for most of you, for the simple reason that the
D:Day10.6  you, for the simple reason that the certainty that comes from union  will seem to come, at least initially, from a place other than the
D:Day10.6  to come from a place “other than” or beyond the self of form, you  will instinctively have greater trust in it. You will believe it
D:Day10.6  self of form, you will instinctively have greater trust in it. You  will believe it comes from a place “other than” or beyond the self of
D:Day10.10  feeling, but even so, it is your feelings about such thoughts that  will often determine how you act upon them. Do you trust in your
D:Day10.11  or insights and your distrust of this knowledge and insight  will need to be overcome.
D:Day10.14  your feelings or seeking outside assurances of what you know  will lead to either confidence or certainty is foolish.
D:Day10.15  equal, you still hold an image of me as “other than” yourself. You  will never fully rely upon your Self while you hold these images.
D:Day10.19 Thus I  will speak to you from this point onward as the voice of
D:Day10.20  is the same voice that animated the man Jesus two thousand years ago  will aide you in realizing that this is the voice that will now
D:Day10.20  years ago will aide you in realizing that this is the voice that  will now animate the elevated Self of form, or in other words, you.
D:Day10.21  as the voice of Christ-consciousness—as your own true Self—you  will not have lost Jesus as your companion and helpmate but will only
D:Day10.21 —you will not have lost Jesus as your companion and helpmate but  will only know more fully the content of the man Jesus. As you join
D:Day10.21  Jesus. As you join with Christ-consciousness in this dialogue, you  will realize you have not lost your Self but will only know more
D:Day10.21  in this dialogue, you will realize you have not lost your Self but  will only know more fully the content of your Self.
D:Day10.23 I  will still be with you to point the way, but if you can cease to
D:Day10.23  sharing in relationship in which an exchange is taking place, you  will further your progress greatly.
D:Day10.24  as it may seem when presented in this way, is an exchange and  will only become more so as we proceed. I am not imparting wisdom
D:Day10.32  you are called, in unity, to respond to and with. But this response  will not be generated without the feelings that precede them! When
D:Day10.33  embrace your power. The power of love is the cause and effect that  will change the world by returning you, and all your brothers and
D:Day10.33  from within. It is the transformation that is caused within that  will affect the world without.
D:Day10.37  all these issues is fear. The cause and effect of love is all that  will replace these causes of fear with the means and end that will
D:Day10.37  that will replace these causes of fear with the means and end that  will transform them along with you. You are means and end. It is
D:Day10.37  power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that your power  will save the world.
D:Day10.38  your happiness, your peace, and your acceptance of the power that  will cause these things to come to be. Yet I know you and what you
D:Day10.38  your feelings in the way you might desire have worked. This  will work.
D:Day10.39  same tenderness for each other and the world. This is unity. This  will save us. This will save the world.
D:Day10.39  for each other and the world. This is unity. This will save us. This  will save the world.
D:Day12.2  surrounded, taken up, by consciousness. It is your feelings that now  will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not feelings of sight
D:Day12.6  self of form. Feel the love of the space that is you. All obstacles  will vanish.
D:Day12.8 Not all forms  will be met as obstacles. Forms are only as real as the perceiver
D:Day12.8  only as real as the perceiver perceives them to be. Thus your space  will effortlessly join with the space that is free and open to
D:Day14.1  wounded self. It is your acceptance that escape is not possible that  will lead you out of forgetfulness to remembrance. It is in the
D:Day14.13  it as you own the power that is yours. This one voice of the many  will continue to point the way for only a short time longer. Thus the

D:Day15.22  knowing that you have entered the dialogue does not mean that you  will not have an awareness of those who would infringe upon, rather

D:Day15.26  The distinctness of your own path will be made visible and you  will see that it may be quite different from the others with whom you
D:Day15.26  know, and perhaps quite different than you thought it would be. You  will be shown that you can enter the dialogue with all and still

D:Day16.7  your feelings, reflect who you are, and that by acting on them, you  will act in accord with who you are and thus in accord with the

D:Day17.11 Christ-consciousness is your  will to know, to be, and to express. The time of Christ, and the
D:Day18.1  for the beginning of the fulfillment of the way of Mary. Many of you  will follow the way of Jesus to completion, beginning a stage of
D:Day18.1  of interaction with the world, an interaction with the miracles that  will aide in the dismantling of the old and with preparing the way
D:Day18.1  and with preparing the way for the birth of the new. Others of you  will follow your hearts to a bypassing of the final stage of the old
D:Day18.1  old and to anchoring the new within the web of reality. Still others  will participate in both, following their innate desire to facilitate
D:Day18.2  complementary and symbiotic. Together they return wholeness and  will bring about the completion of the time of Christ. This symbiotic
D:Day18.2  completion of the time of Christ. This symbiotic working together  will be essential for the birth of the new and in truth symbolizes it
D:Day18.4  well as sameness and of the necessity of each. It is a choice many  will be called to so that sameness is seen in difference, the one is
D:Day19.10  required to do in the sense of fulfilling a specific function that  will become manifest in the world, but are required to do in the
D:Day19.11 This is not to say that those called to the way of Jesus  will find acclaim and those called to the way of Mary will find
D:Day19.11  way of Jesus will find acclaim and those called to the way of Mary  will find obscurity. Many called to the way of Mary will “do” much
D:Day19.11  the way of Mary will find obscurity. Many called to the way of Mary  will “do” much that is greatly desired in the world but what they do
D:Day19.11  will “do” much that is greatly desired in the world but what they do  will be a byproduct of their way of being rather than a means of
D:Day19.11  a means of facilitating that way of being. Many of the way of Mary  will find acclaim, yet neither acclaim nor obscurity will matter to
D:Day19.11  the way of Mary will find acclaim, yet neither acclaim nor obscurity  will matter to those following these ways. Being true to the self and
D:Day19.11  and the calling of the One Self is all that matters. Eventually all  will follow the way of Mary and such ideas as acclaim and obscurity
D:Day19.11  will follow the way of Mary and such ideas as acclaim and obscurity  will be no more. But at this time of transition, both ways are needed
D:Day20.10 Apply the art of thought to this idea and you  will complete the first transition.
D:Day21.8 This  will seem like an incredible reversal and thus it is. This is the
D:Day21.8  an incredible reversal and thus it is. This is the reversal that  will make of you a creator. But it can only happen if you make the
D:Day21.10  transition and on the reversal of thought that it requires. Thus  will you carry this time forward with you into creation of the new.

D:Day23.5  It requires full acknowledgment that you hold within yourself a  will to know and to make known. This will is divine will, your will,
D:Day23.5  that you hold within yourself a will to know and to make known. This  will is divine will, your will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive

D:Day23.5  a will to know and to make known. This will is divine will, your  will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive within you. All that is
D:Day23.5  is that you carry it with awareness, honor, willingness. From this  will the new be birthed.
D:Day24.4  your potential to be released, your true nature in all its wholeness  will be revealed.
D:Day24.8  Will activates potential. It is the greatest of all triggers. An
D:Day24.8  potential. It is the greatest of all triggers. An activated  will realizes that you are the carrier of all the potential that
D:Day24.8  you are the carrier of all the potential that exists. An activated  will releases the power that is potential. Remember potential is that

D:Day24.9  potential to the place of its birth through an activated will, a  will that is also carried within you. This merging of will and
D:Day24.9  will, a will that is also carried within you. This merging of  will and potential is the birth of your power and the birth of the
D:Day25.1 Emptiness of mind  will now be something that may seem to plague many of you. Where once
D:Day25.2  stillness, however. As it envelopes you, there is a part of you that  will fight back. If there is nothing new to record, nothing new to
D:Day25.2  nothing new to learn, no new divine inspiration, a part of your mind  will attempt to create from this nothingness. Allow this to happen.
D:Day25.3  moment, crystal clear in the next. Let them all come. Your thoughts  will slip from the sublime to the mundane. Let them come.
D:Day25.4  new pattern of stillness combined with non-resistance that the new  will come.
D:Day25.7  except by your own hands. It cannot be sorted except by your own  will. I remind you not to attempt this as a task to which you apply
D:Day26.4  These things too the Self can do if allowed to do so. The Self  will guide you if you will allow it to. Your Self will lead you down
D:Day26.4  the Self can do if allowed to do so. The Self will guide you if you  will allow it to. Your Self will lead you down from the mountain top
D:Day26.4  to do so. The Self will guide you if you will allow it to. Your Self  will lead you down from the mountain top and through the valleys of
D:Day26.5 You can trust in your Self.  Will you? By tending your garden you will develop this trust and
D:Day26.5 You can trust in your Self. Will you? By tending your garden you  will develop this trust and prepare for your descent to level ground.
D:Day26.6 Your self-guidance can be thought of as an internal compass. It  will not necessarily know the answers as each answer is sought, but
D:Day26.6  the answers as each answer is sought, but if paid attention to, it  will show you the way to knowing.
D:Day27.2  were capable of. This certainty is beginning to form within you but  will not come into its fullness except through experience. This
D:Day27.5 This is the quality of the inner-sight you now  will carry with you to level ground because you have practiced during
D:Day27.7  and a mountain top perspective. Your descent from the mountain top  will not mean that you no longer have the perspective gained there.
D:Day27.8  you continue to practice your apprehension of this new situation, it  will become more than a concept. As was spoken of in “A Treatise on
D:Day27.8  of in “A Treatise on the Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”, it  will become a trusted ability and, through practice, lose its
D:Day27.8  In this same way, the dualistic seeming nature of all of life  will be revealed to only seem to be so.
D:Day27.15  and variability through experience. The elevated Self of form  will be the expression of new life lived within the constant of
D:Day27.16  what you are beginning to do through your practice. Your proficiency  will change your experience, and your experience will change the
D:Day27.16  Your proficiency will change your experience, and your experience  will change the world.
D:Day28.2 Most of you have experienced several stages of awareness, and we  will speak here of those experienced during the years of what is
D:Day28.2  age, or the age of reason. These have been discussed before so this  will be kept brief and illustrate only what is needed for our
D:Day28.6  level, some people reach a crossroad that feels like a choice that  will move their lives in such a different direction that it is both
D:Day28.6  career path. Many simply reach a state of reasonable comfort and  will make no choices that will effect that comfort level.
D:Day28.6  reach a state of reasonable comfort and will make no choices that  will effect that comfort level.
D:Day28.8  It is a choice so different and a means so revolutionary that it  will take some getting used to. This change is predicated on all the
D:Day28.13  on the circumstances of your life, one of these two attitudes  will have a reverse side that will have a greater hold on you. Your
D:Day28.13  your life, one of these two attitudes will have a reverse side that  will have a greater hold on you. Your life may have shown you that
D:Day28.14 If the attitude you  will have greater need of reversing is that of God determining the
D:Day28.15  people feel at least some combination of these two attitudes, but  will find that one is prevalent. You must now get past all such
D:Day28.18  is where the power of transformation lies. This transformation  will, however, take you beyond time, because once experience is moved
D:Day28.18  separation and into the realm of union or wholeness, new conditions  will apply. This is why it has been said that the changes that are to
D:Day28.20 “Time outside of time” by itself  will not cause the shift that needs to occur, however. What will
D:Day28.20  itself will not cause the shift that needs to occur, however. What  will create the shift is the ability to experience “time outside of
D:Day28.22  directed experience is to make the move into wholeness that  will cause the “shift of the ages,” the experience of variability
D:Day28.24  toward wholeness, all the pieces of all that we have talked about  will begin to fit together. A whole will form within your mind much
D:Day28.24  of all that we have talked about will begin to fit together. A whole  will form within your mind much as if you have been following a
D:Day28.24  been following a thread and now can see the tapestry. This tapestry  will bear the mark of your experiences and will be like no other. The
D:Day28.24  tapestry. This tapestry will bear the mark of your experiences and  will be like no other. The thread represents your own journey to
D:Day28.25 Separation is desired no longer, but experience is. Your  will and God's are one and thus it is being made so.
D:Day28.26  threads together into the tapestry of your new life. This weaving  will take place as you continue to intertwine the two experiences
D:Day28.27 This is what we  will continue to speak of as we conclude this dialogue.
D:Day29.1  all that opposes wholeness into one level of experience, you  will be able to experience life from within the reality of wholeness
D:Day29.2 Your “self”  will no longer be divided into a spirit Self and a human self, living
D:Day29.3  to assist you in accomplishing the final joining, the joining that  will end duality and return you to wholeness—to who you truly are—
D:Day32.3  for if you retain any notions of God that are inaccurate, they  will arise here.
D:Day32.5 First we  will look at the concept of God as Supreme Being—God as one being,
D:Day32.5  might think of God creating. You might think of God granting free  will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you might think of God resting,
D:Day32.6  here or there, perhaps, but no, He has already granted free  will so He can't do that? If the original purpose was knowing
D:Day32.8  a participatory being, but still falls short. Man lives and has free  will. Animals abide by the laws of nature. God is still a concept.
D:Day33.4  the heart of the new way of seeing yourself—a way of seeing that  will create a new world.
D:Day34.5  you—it is being fulfilled in you. As it is fulfilled in you, you  will create a new world—a world based on sameness rather than
D:Day34.7 If you do not make real your power, you  will experience yourself as powerless. If you experience your being
D:Day35.6  has been asked in this way in order to remind you that while you  will return to level ground, you will also retain the mountain top
D:Day35.6  order to remind you that while you will return to level ground, you  will also retain the mountain top experience. As was said before, the
D:Day35.6  top experience. As was said before, the mountain came to you. You  will thus always have the power to call upon the mountain top
D:Day35.6  top experience and the view of wholeness we have achieved here. You  will carry it within you, and when you feel not its power, you will
D:Day35.6  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 be so.
D:Day35.8  to life is what has caused life to be as it has been, this shift  will cause life to be different, or in other words, new.
D:Day35.17  then the original creation must have occurred in this way. We  will not return to previous discussions of original creation, but it
D:Day35.18  you have made. Your life as you know it is what you have made. You  will only fully realize the difference between what you have made and
D:Day35.20  oneness of being and begin to create in unity and relationship, you  will do so by simply being who you are being, just as you have
D:Day35.21  and begun to make choices. While it has just been said that you  will create in unity and relationship much as you “created” during
D:Day35.21  during the separation, your creation in unity and relationship  will be free of choice. Creation in unity and relationship is
D:Day37.8 You keep striving for differentiation in a way that simply  will not work—through separation! And what's more, you keep
D:Day37.11 Subtract any sum from another and you  will realize that subtraction results in a new number, a remainder,
D:Day39.34 What memory of I Am  will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who I am and
D:Day39.39  into direct relationship with me on your own and of your own free  will.
D:Day39.44 You  will realize as you enter union by means of the bridge of our direct
D:Day39.44  union by means of the bridge of our direct relationship that you  will not leave your humanity behind. You will realize that as you
D:Day39.44  relationship that you will not leave your humanity behind. You  will realize that as you enter union by means of the bridge of our
D:Day39.44  union by means of the bridge of our direct relationship that you  will no longer see me as an inhuman God. You will know I am as human
D:Day39.44  relationship that you will no longer see me as an inhuman God. You  will know I am as human as are you and that you are as godly as am I.
D:Day39.46 You  will realize as you enter union that the tension of opposites is the
D:Day39.46  to your brothers and sisters. They are your bridge to yourself. You  will also be the bridge between war and peace, sadness and joy, evil
D:Day39.46  and peace, sadness and joy, evil and good, sickness and health. You  will turn anger to gladness, tears to laughter, and replace weariness
D:Day39.46  tears to laughter, and replace weariness with rest. But you  will still know all of these. You will know the All of Everything and
D:Day39.46  weariness with rest. But you will still know all of these. You  will know the All of Everything and the emptiness of nothing and our
D:Day39.46  All of Everything and the emptiness of nothing and our relationship  will bridge the distance and become cause and effect, means and end.
D:Day39.47 You  will realize that as we individuate we are in a constant state of
D:Day40.9  since the beginning of time. It is creation in the making. What  will be created now, and the individuation that will occur now, will
D:Day40.9  in the making. What will be created now, and the individuation that  will occur now, will hold all the power of your experience as well as
D:Day40.9  What will be created now, and the individuation that will occur now,  will hold all the power of your experience as well as all the power
D:Day40.9  experience as well as all the power of your longing for return. This  will be a great power that you carry within you as you return to love
D:Day40.32  spoken to me, and I have responded. Love has responded. How, now,  will you respond to love?
D:Day40.33 When you turn the last page,  will you cry tears of sadness that our dialogue is complete, that you
D:Day40.33  you cry tears of sadness that our dialogue is complete, that you  will hear my voice no more? Or will you brave your own relationship
D:Day40.33  our dialogue is complete, that you will hear my voice no more? Or  will you brave your own relationship with me? Will you turn to your
D:Day40.33  my voice no more? Or will you brave your own relationship with me?  Will you turn to your brother and hear my voice in him? Will you be
D:Day40.33  with me? Will you turn to your brother and hear my voice in him?  Will you be my voice as you turn to your sister? Will you carry the
D:Day40.33  my voice in him? Will you be my voice as you turn to your sister?  Will you carry the fullness of our relationship within you? Will you
D:Day40.33  sister? Will you carry the fullness of our relationship within you?  Will you be one with me, and in being one with me never feel alone
D:Day40.33  you be one with me, and in being one with me never feel alone again?  Will you let the emptiness of separation leave you once and for all?
D:Day40.34  Will you continue this dialogue with me and with each other? Will you
D:Day40.34 Will you continue this dialogue with me and with each other?  Will you carry it with you to level ground—to the place of
D:Day40.35  Will you be the relationship that returns love to all who share this
E.1 Ah, imagine now what it  will be like to have nothing left to learn, nothing left to become.
E.1  able to forget all ideas of self-improvement, imagine how much time  will be saved by this quest coming to an end. But what now will you
E.1  much time will be saved by this quest coming to an end. But what now  will you do? What now will you be?
E.1  by this quest coming to an end. But what now will you do? What now  will you be?
E.2 Believe it or not, you  will find these questions arise less and less until soon, and very
E.2  these questions arise less and less until soon, and very soon, they  will be entirely gone, never to be asked again. Why? Because now that
E.2  you are being who you are in unity and relationship, these questions  will make no sense to you. They already have far less power. Can you
E.2  choosing to have them gone from you. This is the only choice you  will still have to make—the choice to leave behind the old in order
E.3 You are in relationship now only with love, and so nothing  will be hard for you. Desire an old pattern to be gone and it will be
E.3  will be hard for you. Desire an old pattern to be gone and it  will be gone. This little note added to the end of our mountain top
E.3  time together is only here to help you realize and accept that this  will be so. Do not expect difficulties and they will not arise.
E.3  and accept that this will be so. Do not expect difficulties and they  will not arise.
E.4 You have returned to your true nature. Perhaps you  will remember that within A Course of Love you were once asked to
E.5  Self, and as you begin to move more fully back into your life, you  will realize where the differences between this natural Self and your
E.5  differences between this natural Self and your former self lie. You  will realize that you know what to do. You will realize that there is
E.5  your former self lie. You will realize that you know what to do. You  will realize that there is no “will be.” That you are and that you
E.5  will realize that there is no “will be.” That you are and that you  will respond as easily to your surroundings as does the cheetah to
E.6  Expect heaven on earth you were told. This is what it is. There  will be no doubt, no indecision. Your path will be so clear to you it
E.6  This is what it is. There will be no doubt, no indecision. Your path  will be so clear to you it will be as if it is the only path in the

E.6  you will wonder why you didn't see it all along. Expect this. And it  will be. So be it.
E.7 There is no becoming. As you are no longer becoming there  will be no becoming projected from you onto the world. There will be
E.7  there will be no becoming projected from you onto the world. There  will be no projections at all and this is why you will see so
E.7  the world. There will be no projections at all and this is why you  will see so clearly. You will see what is. You will create what will

E.10  this joy being selfish for there is no such thing in unity. You  will share your joy continuously just by sharing yourself.
E.11 You  will not realize that everything has changed until you “realize” or
E.11  revelation come to you. All you need do is expect it to come and it  will come. So be it.
E.12 You  will also not realize that you have chosen nothing until and unless

E.17  you will carry forward with you, with your realization of being,  will be a different dialogue.
E.19  these words behind now, and bring only the dialogue with you. You  will unerringly find those who can engage in the new dialogue, those
E.19  the new, those who seek to share and exchange in harmony. Thus  will you begin and your numbers increase.
E.20  thoughts and notions of becoming. If you hang on to them, your being  will not have the chance to realize and make real its being. You will
E.20  will not have the chance to realize and make real its being. You  will be different, only if you allow and will yourself to realize and

E.21 This difference, if you will allow it to come,  will take away all worry, all thought about how you could be better,
E.21  character flaws or faults, forget about them now. In being they  will be yours or they will not. You will be happy that you have these
E.21  faults, forget about them now. In being they will be yours or they  will not. You will be happy that you have these aspects of humanness
E.21  about them now. In being they will be yours or they will not. You  will be happy that you have these aspects of humanness or you will
E.21  You will be happy that you have these aspects of humanness or you  will not and they will be gone. Do not expect the same unhappiness
E.21  that you have these aspects of humanness or you will not and they  will be gone. Do not expect the same unhappiness with yourself. You
E.22 If you  will but let it come, you will see that you are being who you are
E.22 If you will but let it come, you  will see that you are being who you are being for a reason, for a

C:9.11  this is the case, and since it cannot be changed without your total  willingness to change it—a willingness not yet complete—we will,
C:9.11  it cannot be changed without your total willingness to change it—a  willingness not yet complete—we will, instead of trying to ignore
C:9.27  makes the meeting of the need a thing of lasting value. It is your  willingness to say, “Brother, you are not alone” that is the benefit
C:10.8  and all of heaven is with you. All that is needed is your continuing  willingness. All that can cause you to fail is giving up. I give you
C:10.8  I tell you neither will it be hard if you but remember this: your  willingness is all that is needed. When your separated self whispers
C:10.10 Again but state your  willingness. A willingness to believe that you have everything you
C:10.10 Again but state your willingness. A  willingness to believe that you have everything you need despite the
C:10.10  you need despite the “fact” that it does not seem so. Your  willingness is all that is needed to move you through this stage and
C:10.18  you find yourself in a situation you do not like, again offer your  willingness to find some happiness within it. These instructions to
C:11.5  and no earthly course can take you beyond this goal. It is only your  willingness that is required.
C:11.6  Willingness must thus be talked about and separated from what you
C:11.6  thus be talked about and separated from what you would have it be.  Willingness and faith go together. What you have faith in, you will
C:11.6  What you have faith in, you will see. This Course asks for your  willingness to have faith in something new. You have placed your
C:11.6  your doubts, and this is where you become confused on the issue of  willingness.
C:11.7  Willingness does not arise from conviction but brings conviction.
C:11.7 Willingness does not arise from conviction but brings conviction.  Willingness is your declaration of openness, not necessarily of firm
C:11.7  of openness, not necessarily of firm belief. You see free will and  willingness together and while they are the same, their application
C:11.12  at all with your free will but make this one insane choice. Your  willingness to make a new choice is what will once again make your
C:11.13 Your protectiveness of your free will is why we must separate  willingness from your perception of free will. Your free will is the
C:11.13  battle will take place. Before this final battle is reached your  willingness to change your mind about its need to be fought is what
C:11.14  you have made. Let this prophecy you have made go, and realize that  willingness does not negate free will. Yet even while you cannot yet
C:11.14  temporary decision that can be rescinded at any time. Your temporary  willingness will be enough to begin to effect cause and in so doing
C:11.15 What  willingness is it that you are asked to give? It can come in many
C:11.15  can come in many manners and be given many forms. It can be called a  willingness to change your mind, or to allow yourself to be open to
C:11.15  open to new possibilities. It can be called a change of heart, or a  willingness but to, for a little while, withdraw your fear and your
C:11.15  while, withdraw your fear and your protection from it. But what this  willingness really does is allow your call to be sounded, your call
C:11.15  your call to be sounded, your call to love and to be loved. It is a  willingness to receive love from your Source and to be loved for who
C:17.5  yet all the evidence of your own thoughts will reveal to you your  willingness to accept the bad about yourself and your world. And so
C:17.9 Receiving implies that something is being given. Receiving implies a  willingness to accept what is given. This willingness is what you do
C:17.9  given. Receiving implies a willingness to accept what is given. This  willingness is what you do not offer. Yet this is due to your lack of
C:18.23  what was said earlier about the pain experienced from love and your  willingness to cling to it despite the pain you are experiencing. Yet
C:19.5  The first step in leading you to experience of another kind is your  willingness to accept that you are here to learn, and that your body
C:19.23  changing your means of perception to that of right-mindedness. Your  willingness to accept me as your teacher will help you to accept my
C:20.38  best possible outcome you can imagine could truly occur. Hope is a  willingness to accept love and the grace and cooperation that flow
C:20.38  love and the grace and cooperation that flow from love. Hope is a  willingness to ask for help, believing it will come. Hope is the
C:20.45  that they can be given, through you, to others as well. It implies  willingness rather than resistance. To change your thinking and your
C:20.45  thinking and your feelings from expecting resistance to expecting  willingness is another key change that will lead toward
C:20.46  you naturally have reacted with resistance. You must replace your  willingness to believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your
C:20.46  willingness to believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your  willingness to believe in your ability and mightiness. Remember not
C:27.14  reality, and as a call to be in relationship with it. It is the  willingness to set aside judgment so that you are not contemplating
C:27.17  in which those who live in relationship become certain, and their  willingness to act unimpeded by uncertainty. All uncertainty is fear.
C:27.21  so. There is only one remaining source of such unwillingness. Your  willingness will now depend on whether or not you trust. Do you trust
C:29.3  God make use of me, only need to give to God your devotion and your  willingness to serve instead of use.
T1:1.12 Again your  willingness is called upon. Be willing now to apply the art of
T1:3.10 As was said within A Course of Love,  willingness does not require conviction but leads to conviction. The
T1:3.10  ability to perform miracles. The faith they showed was in their  willingness to try. This little willingness gave way to conviction as
T1:3.10  The faith they showed was in their willingness to try. This little  willingness gave way to conviction as miracles flowed through them as
T1:3.14  not have to be done right now if your fear is mightier than your  willingness. But hold this thought within your mind. What is needed
T1:3.17  to miracles, only to having them performed through you. Your lack of  willingness to perform miracles, you will say, stems from your
T2:1.4  you had once hoped to have become abilities. You think this  willingness to accept who you are now is what this Course has led you
T2:1.14  is an elementary step and one easily accomplished with but a bit of  willingness. This change in thinking in regards to treasures you do
T2:2.9  ideas illustrate your belief that something other than your own  willingness is necessary. Only in your own willingness does anything
T2:2.9  other than your own willingness is necessary. Only in your own  willingness does anything exist because only in your willingness is
T2:2.9  in your own willingness does anything exist because only in your  willingness is the power of creation expressed.
T2:3.1  between the life you are living and the life you want lies in your  willingness to express who you are.
T2:3.7  is you. The power of creation is released through your choice, your  willingness to express that aspect of creation. It is quite literally
T2:4.9  rejection of your power. What is required to claim your power is the  willingness to move through the conflict of two opposing sets of
T2:4.10  the dualistic nature of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is  willingness to move past both ambiguity and conflict to union.
T2:11.9  the same. Your devotion to this learning must now be complete, your  willingness total, your way of learning that of a mind and heart
T3:14.14  Self of love. It begins with the birth of Christ in you and in your  willingness to live in the world as the Christ-Self.
T3:16.1  Willingness to live by the truth is the only offering you are asked
T3:16.2 Saying that  willingness is the only offering that is required of you is the same
T3:17.8  for the time of illusion. The return of Christ, or your ability and  willingness to live as your true Self, to live in the House of Truth
T3:20.15  the eternal to the eternal. The new way will work wherever it finds  willingness. You cannot call others to abandon their willingness to
T3:20.15  it finds willingness. You cannot call others to abandon their  willingness to live in illusion by joining them there! You can only
T3:20.15  in illusion by joining them there! You can only call others to a  willingness to set illusion aside and to begin the journey home to
T3:20.16  or sister reaches out to you, all you need ask for is a little  willingness. All you need do is open the door through which love can
T3:20.17  neither dismayed nor discouraged by those who do not see and have no  willingness to offer. Just know these aren't the ones given you to
T3:20.18  attract others and each will find the price of admission is their  willingness to leave the old behind. This is a price they must freely
T3:21.23  him- or herself to find the truth. As has been said many times,  willingness is the starting point and as can be surely understood,
T4:1.21  from this state of consciousness and that you have given your  willingness to learn in a new way. The new way is here. If you are
T4:10.2 This is hard for you to imagine because as you consider your  willingness to give up learning you will meet resistance and realize,
T4:12.10  you have experienced throughout your lifetime and have expressed a  willingness to leave behind. Only you can leave these conditions
T4:12.34  and desire. Creation of the new could not begin without you. Your  willingness for the new, a willingness that included the leaving
T4:12.34  the new could not begin without you. Your willingness for the new, a  willingness that included the leaving behind of the old, a
T4:12.34  new, a willingness that included the leaving behind of the old, a  willingness that included the leaving behind of fear and judgment and
T4:12.34  will, was necessary to begin creation of the new. Your former  willingness to accept the old but kept creation's power harnessed to
T4:12.36  that what is asked of us is everything. What is asked is our total  willingness to abandon the old, our total willingness to embrace the
T4:12.36  What is asked is our total willingness to abandon the old, our total  willingness to embrace the new. But also make no mistake that what is
D:2.1  To accept the new and to deny the old. Acceptance is a  willingness to receive. Obviously, when you consider this definition
D:2.1  of acceptance, you will see that this is not the way of the old.  Willingness to receive is quite contrary to the attitudes and actions
D:2.1  led your life thus far. You were told within A Course of Love that  willingness was all that was necessary for you to be able to take
D:2.1  return you to your true identity. Those of you who found within this  willingness an ability to receive and left behind your effort to
D:3.13  awareness of what you know. Acceptance is easily achieved through  willingness. Full awareness in form of what has previously been
D:4.30  Your part is to invite it and accept it when it comes. State your  willingness, accept the coming of your release, and prepare to leave
D:5.22  to everything that is still to come. Hesitate no longer. Let your  willingness exceed your trepidation. No longer wait to be told more
D:13.12  in which sharing can occur. Without relationship there is no  willingness and no union. Without relationship, you behave as a
D:Day1.3  of who I am, you will not fully accept who you are. Without your  willingness to achieve this acceptance, you will not receive the
D:Day2.23  all those willing to be changed. But great unwillingness remained.  Willingness was not yet upon humankind. The choice was made
D:Day2.26  Willingness is now upon humankind. What my life demonstrated but
D:Day10.3 We have talked before of conviction and your  willingness to, like the apostles, let your conviction spring from
D:Day10.3  to, like the apostles, let your conviction spring from your  willingness to experience its cause and its effect. I am asking you
D:Day15.2  be made known by you. We have just spoken of the unknown and your  willingness to accept your relationship with it in order for you to
D:Day15.2  and the known exist together in everything and everyone. Thus your  willingness to be made known and to know exists alongside your
D:Day15.2  your willingness to be made known and to know exists alongside your  willingness to embrace the unknown.
D:Day15.13  these stones with neutrality and see if they do not wash away. Your  willingness to have them gone is all that is required. If doubts of
D:Day15.14  to waste and no protracted length of time will be required if your  willingness is true.
D:Day17.5  access to Christ-consciousness than another, some exhibited more  willingness to let that consciousness be their guiding force—that
D:Day23.4  inside of you. It is a knowing surrender to the unknown. It is a  willingness to carry the unknown into the known and the known to the
D:Day23.5  All that is required is that you carry it with awareness, honor,  willingness. From this will the new be birthed.
D:Day34.5  on sameness rather than difference. You have faced and admitted your  willingness to leave striving for specialness and differences behind.
D:Day34.8  no to this request. Realize the importance and the power of your  willingness to say yes.
D:Day37.22 This “link” is very powerful. Where  willingness is demonstrated, this link can be moved to be, rather
D:Day37.22  relationship. This cooperative relationship, accessed through  willingness, could also be called the “being” that you appeal to when
D:Day37.32  have been offered to everyone. They have been afforded by  willingness. They come from observation of self and they come from
D:Day39.15 What must occur now must occur between you and me. Your  willingness is all that is required.
D:Day39.42  love has never been severed. Realize your readiness. Proclaim your  willingness.
D:Day39.49  and space without this relationship than could you. Only with our  willingness joined, are we able to negate the need for intermediaries
D:Day39.49  the need for intermediaries and be in relationship. Only with our  willingness joined do we both become, welcome, and share, the Christ
E.14  need to “think” about who you are and what you will do, and your  willingness to give up this thinking will be paramount to your
A.22  of evidence, an evidence demonstrated clearly and plainly with every  willingness to end reliance on the ego-mind and to leave the hell of

wills

Tx:4.41  Christmas is not a time; it is a state of mind. The Christ Mind  wills from the Soul, not from the ego, and the Christ Mind is
Tx:5.92  His Spirit to you and asks that you commend yours to Him. He  wills to keep it in perfect peace, because you are of one mind and
Tx:7.91 Only you can limit your creative power, but God  wills to release it. He no more wills you to deprive yourself of your

Tx:7.91  He no more wills you to deprive yourself of your creations than He  wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the
Tx:8.16  Will in order] to teach. Knowing His function perfectly, He  wills to fulfill it perfectly, because that is His joy and yours.
Tx:8.23  teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you. God  wills no one suffer. He does not will anyone to suffer for a wrong
Tx:8.30  healing impossible. If healing is our joint will, unless our  wills are joined you cannot be healed. This is obvious when you
Tx:8.36  you mine on yours. Alone we can do nothing, but together our  wills fuse into something whose power is far beyond the power of its
Tx:8.39  it of Him for us all. Nothing can prevail against our united  wills, because nothing can prevail against God's. Would you know the
Tx:8.47  to create. Your will was not created separate from His, and so it  wills as He wills.
Tx:8.47  Your will was not created separate from His, and so it wills as He  wills.
Tx:8.95 Divided  wills do not communicate because they speak for different things to
Tx:9.38  salvation. Would He not have given you the means to find it? If He  wills you to have it, He must have made it possible and very easy
Tx:9.38  they will not return, but because delay of joy is needless. God  wills you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not
Tx:10.5  you will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He  wills His Son to be and where he is. In whatever part of the Mind
Tx:10.10  because only this can bring you the joy which is His and which He  wills to share with you. Your love is as boundless as His because
Tx:10.16  unite having and being is only to unite your will with His, for He  wills you Himself. And you will yourself to Him because, in your
Tx:10.24  it is not true of Him. Oh, my children, if you knew what God  wills for you, your joy would be complete! And what He wills has
Tx:10.24  knew what God wills for you, your joy would be complete! And what He  wills has happened, for it was always true.

Tx:10.25  tell you and remind you often that what God wills for Himself He  wills for you, and what He wills for you is yours.
Tx:10.25  that what God wills for Himself He wills for you, and what He  wills for you is yours.
Tx:10.27  hide himself. Yet the Son of God cannot hide his glory, for God  wills him to be glorious and gave him the light that shines in him.
Tx:10.38  the Son of God, whose radiance is of his Father and whose glory he  wills to share as his Father shares it with him. There is no
Tx:10.45  as you are on Him. Do not ascribe the ego's arrogance to Him, Who  wills not to be independent of you. He has included you in His
Tx:10.49  Very simply, then, you have become afraid of yourself. And no one  wills to learn what he believes would destroy him.
Tx:10.81  share it with God. This is its reality. Would the Holy Spirit, Who  wills only to restore, be capable of misinterpreting the question
Tx:10.87  Accept His healing power and use it for all He sends you, for He  wills to heal the Son of God in whom He is not deceived.
Tx:11.16  what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your Father  wills you to know your brother as yourself. Answer his call for
Tx:11.54  He loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He  wills to share it. Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget
Tx:11.71  which created us. For we are there in the peace of the Father, Who  wills to project His peace through you.
Tx:11.81  to keep it so. For the memory of God can dawn only in a mind that  wills to remember and that has relinquished the insane desire to
Tx:11.89  unnecessary by teaching their pupils all they know. The Holy Spirit  wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His Son, He
Tx:11.89  wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His Son, He  wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he may remember his
Tx:12.70  lingering in time. He knows that you are not at home there, and He  wills no delay to wait upon your joyous homecoming.
Tx:13.41 Have faith in only this one thing, and it will be sufficient: God  wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can keep you from it or it
Tx:13.41  all mean nothing. They will not prevail against the peace God  wills for you. The Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, because
Tx:13.43  chance that Heaven will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He  wills is as sure as He is. You will learn salvation, because you will
Tx:13.43  It will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit  wills to teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty
Tx:13.74  as naturally as peace that knows no limits. There is nothing their  wills will not provide that offers them anything of value. Yet
Tx:13.75  His answer, for He knows that you are worthy of everything God  wills for you. Do not try to escape the gift of God which He so
Tx:13.78  you gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to learn what God  wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you will think
Tx:14.34  and in you. All interference in the communication that God Himself  wills with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and
Tx:14.57  is not recognized, you will recognize it. And God Himself, Who  wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His
Tx:14.63  thing: you think you do not will for God's Son what His Father  wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches this in one form or another.
Tx:15.27  offer you. But for this, you cannot side against Him in what He  wills for you.
Tx:15.32  with me, who have decided to abide with you. I will as my Father  wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace forever with Itself.
Tx:15.35  immediate learning unless you prefer to believe that what God  wills takes time. And this means only that you would rather delay
Tx:15.61  all. When the Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly  wills, it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any way. In
Tx:15.81  are. For the holy host of God is beyond failure, and nothing that he  wills can be denied. You are forever in a relationship so holy that
Tx:16.17  your interpretation, considering honestly what they have been? God  wills you better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom God
Tx:17.21 The Holy Spirit  wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect, and so He
Tx:18.34  unworthy of Him. And if you believe He cannot enter where He  wills to be, you must be interfering with His Will. You do not need
Tx:18.40  impossible. What you believe to be impossible will be if God so  wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the
Tx:18.40  orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. Everything God  wills is not only possible but has already happened. And that is
Tx:18.43  yourselves for such a function? Yet it is possible because God  wills it. Nor will He change His Mind about it. The means and purpose
Tx:19.31 —partly sane and partially insane. For He must have created what  wills to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it not easier
Tx:19.80  Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor death,  wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither sin nor its
Tx:21.26  For if you think the world you made has power to make you what it  wills, you are confusing Son and Father, effect and Source.
Tx:21.34  take them from you, for He sees their value as a means for what He  wills for you. You made perception that you might choose among your
Tx:21.53  consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of God, for what God  wills for him he must receive. For God wills not apart from him,
Tx:21.53  Son of God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For God  wills not apart from him, nor does the Will of God wait upon time to
Tx:22.20  to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He  wills can be impossible, the means for its attainment are more
Tx:22.21  what holds 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
Tx:22.27  that anything be separate. Its will has no exceptions, and what it  wills is true. Every illusion brought to its forgiveness is gently
Tx:22.54  Atonement. And in your healing is the Sonship healed because your  wills are joined.
Tx:22.57  undismayed? God would let nothing interfere with those whose  wills are His[. And they will recognize their wills are His,
Tx:22.57  with those whose wills are His[. And they will recognize their  wills are His, because they serve His Will] and serve it willingly.
Tx:24.1  enter, there He is already. And can it be He cannot enter where He  wills to be? Peace will be yours because it is His Will. Can you
Tx:24.30  would have no separation, like an alien will, rise between what He  wills for you and what you will. They are the same, for neither one
Tx:24.30  for you and what you will. They are the same, for neither one  wills specialness. How could they will the death of love itself? Yet
Tx:24.50  a Father. There could be no universe and no reality. For what God  wills is whole and part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing alive
Tx:24.61  To Him this 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
Tx:25.43  he would only heal 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
Tx:26.57 What is the Will of God? He  wills His Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He created
Tx:26.60 Cause and effect are one, not separate. God  wills you learn what always has been true—that He created you as
Tx:26.63  In every wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his Father  wills for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because his
Tx:26.63  for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because his Father  wills that he should live.
Tx:26.65  that He gave and choose a little senseless wish instead of what He  wills. The gift of God to you is limitless. There is no
Tx:27.36  there must be a way in which your problems are resolved, for what He  wills already has been done.
Tx:28.15  he can glimpse another shore which he can never reach. His Father  wills that he be lifted up and gently carried over. He has built
Tx:28.15  His Son across it. Have no fear that He will fail in what He  wills. Nor that you be excluded from the Will that is for you.
Tx:28.33  The miracle will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who  wills to come and bridge His Son's returning to Himself.
Tx:28.43  remain without a witness or a cause. And both are gone if someone  wills to be united with him. He has dream[ed] that he was separated
Tx:28.60  to Himself, 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
Tx:30.36  done to him whom God so loves is done to God Himself. Think not He  wills to bind you, Who has made you co-creator of the universe along
Tx:31.67  not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father  wills for you can never change. The truth in you remains as radiant
Tx:31.88  the power of the Will of God. And what they will is only what He  wills.

Tx:23.47  the same cannot conflict. You are not asked to fight against your  wish to murder. But you are asked to realize the form it takes

Tx:24.40  what you seek for is a source of joy as you conceive it. What you  wish is true for you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for
Tx:24.40  it. What you wish is true for you. Nor is it possible that you can  wish for something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes
Tx:24.40  Wishing makes real, as surely as does will create. The power of a  wish upholds illusions as strongly as does love extend itself, except
Tx:24.52  the only one it has. Until you see the healing of the Son as all you  wish to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all appearances,

Tx:24.69  but witnesses to what you taught. It is the outward picture of a  wish—an image that you wanted to be true.
Tx:24.70  an image that you want to be yourself. It is the means to make your  wish come true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the
Tx:24.72  will and wishes it were so. And thus does his perception serve his  wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can perception serve
Tx:25.24  there with him so he could not be lost forever in the madness of his  wish.

Tx:25.33  is harmful or beneficent apart from what you wish. It is your  wish that makes it what it is in its effects on you. Because you
Tx:25.34  hopes, their dreams of guilt and merciless revenge, and every  wish to hurt and kill and die will disappear before the sun you bring.
Tx:25.38  wishes to attack, can fail to think it must be guilty to deserve the  wish and leave him innocent? And who would see the Son of God as
Tx:25.38  leave him innocent? And who would see the Son of God as innocent and  wish him dead? Christ stands before you both each time you look on
Tx:25.48  time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it for himself. His  wish was not denied but changed in form to let it serve his brother
Tx:25.50  of sin is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a  wish to make this world's foundation sure as love, dependable as
Tx:25.51 It cannot be the “sinner's”  wish for death is just as strong as is God's Will for life. Nor can
Tx:25.51  His Will? And what can share Its attributes except Itself? What  wish can rise against His Will and be immutable? If you could realize
Tx:26.1  a brother in another body separate from yours is the expression of a  wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the
Tx:26.15  For there are those you want to suffer loss and no one whom you  wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once again
Tx:26.17  perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to  wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and
Tx:26.22  lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a choice between the  wish for Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are
Tx:26.22  saved. Yet who can make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the  wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the same? This
Tx:26.37  more gone by. And everything which points to it as real is but a  wish that what is gone could be made real again and seen as here and
Tx:26.48  Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception is a  wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take the place of
Tx:26.51  to what God gave as answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any  wish that seems to go against His Will has no foundation in the
Tx:26.54  and a thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but your  wish to be apart and separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands
Tx:26.54  away what stands between your brother and yourself. It is the  wish that you be joined with him and not apart. We call it “wish”
Tx:26.55 Yet is this  wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to God's Will.
Tx:26.56 Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little  wish that what is true be true; a little willingness to overlook what
Tx:26.60  of what is idly wished as what is truly willed, because the mind can  wish to be deceived but cannot make it be what it is not. And to
Tx:26.63  the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. In every  wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his Father wills for
Tx:26.65  to lay aside the power that He gave and choose a little senseless  wish instead of what He wills. The gift of God to you is limitless.
Tx:26.77  sleeps your own salvation with his freedom joined! However much you  wish he be condemned, God is in him. And never will you know He is in
Tx:27.1 The  wish to be unfairly treated is a compromise attempt that would
Tx:27.2  now belongs to him, and when it rests on him are you set free.  Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will
Tx:27.7 It is not will for life, but  wish for death that is the motivation for this world. Its only
Tx:27.18  hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you but  wish to show your brother that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your
Tx:27.19  love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a foolish  wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see
Tx:27.19  guilt upon his heart made heavy with the proof of sin. And what you  wish is given you to see.
Tx:27.22  about yourself and who you are. What is the separation but a  wish to take God's function from Him and deny that it is His? Yet
Tx:27.45  compel belief. No one is healed through double messages. If you  wish only to be healed, you heal. Your single purpose makes this
Tx:27.81  escape effects of all the dreams the world has ever had? Is it your  wish to let no dream appear to be the cause of what it is you do?
Tx:28.2  for something else. It can be used to heal and not to hurt if you so  wish it be.
Tx:28.19  are still asleep, depending on the purpose of your dreaming. Do you  wish for dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A dream is like a
Tx:28.31  holds the seeds of pestilence and every form of ill because it is a  wish to keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a cause
Tx:28.37  dream of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his  wish to separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you
Tx:28.37  wish to separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you  wish that they be turned instead on you. Thus have they no effects.
Tx:28.37  you help him, you will suffer pain with him because that is your  wish. And you become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours.
Tx:28.56  you. It hears your voice. And it is frail and little by your  wish. It seems to punish you and thus deserve your hatred for the
Tx:28.58  of what was made in secret, in agreement with another's secret  wish to be apart from you, as you would be apart from him. Unless you
Tx:28.58  as you would be apart from him. Unless you both agree that is your  wish, it can have no effects. Whoever says, “There is no gap

Tx:29.54  constitutes a gap between the Christ and what you see. An idol is a  wish made tangible and given form and thus perceived as real and seen

Tx:29.63  Thus does an idol keep the dream alive and terrible, for who could  wish for one unless he were in terror and despair? And this the idol
Tx:29.63  But in the dream of judgment, you attack and are condemned and  wish to be the slave of idols which are interposed between your
Tx:30.57  to twist and fit into the dream of fear. Instead, there is a  wish to understand all things created as they really are. And it is
Tx:30.59  and he but remains until it is made perfect in himself. He has no  wish for anything but this. And fear has dropped away because he is
Tx:30.75 There is no surer proof idolatry is what you  wish than a belief there are some forms of sickness and of
Tx:30.80  God—the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by your  wish to make illusions real. And what is this except a simple
Tx:30.91 What is temptation but a  wish to make illusions real? It does not seem to be the wish that no
Tx:30.91  but a wish to make illusions real? It does not seem to be the  wish that no reality be so. Yet it is an assertion that some forms of

Tx:31.65  what you look upon nor what you choose to feel or think or  wish. For God Himself has said, “Your will be done.” And it is done
Tx:31.78 Yet while you  wish to stay in hell, how could you be the savior of the Son of God?
Tx:31.79 Whatever form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a  wish to be a self which you are not. And from that wish, a concept

Tx:31.79  that wish, a concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you  wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until the wish
Tx:31.79  you wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until the  wish that fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish
Tx:31.79  behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the  wish begot of you. For vision can but represent a wish, because

W1:163.1  lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all forms in which the  wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All such thoughts
W1:166.11 Now do we live, for now we cannot die. The  wish for death is answered, and the sight that looked upon it now has
W1:183.7  our only word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the only  wish we have, the only sound with any meaning, and the only name of

Tx:21.43  been already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to look  within and see it not.
Tx:21.44  still is only partial—still limited and incomplete, yet born  within you. Not wholly mad, you have been willing to look on much of
Tx:21.46  would withdraw from you in rage at your “presumptuous” wish to look  within, you do not want. A few remaining trinkets still seem to
Tx:22.1  individual perception, seen in the other yet believed by each to be  within himself. And each one seems to make a different error, and one
Tx:22.3  relationship starts from a different premise. Each one has looked  within and seen no lack. Accepting his completion, he would extend it
Tx:22.37  one is valued because he seems to justify the other's sin. He sees  within the other what impels him to sin against his will. And thus he
Tx:22.49  looks like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet  within you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This body
Tx:23.7  War is impossible unless belief in victory is cherished. Conflict  within you must imply that you believe the ego has the power to be
Tx:23.25  Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie  within the Son, whose every aspect seems to be at war with Him and
Tx:23.45  and that attack is justified on its behalf cannot perceive it lies  within them. How could they know? Could they accept forgiveness side
Tx:23.46  look down on it in safety from above and not be touched. But from  within it, you can find no safety. Not one tree left standing still
Tx:24.19 Think of the loveliness that you will see  within yourself when you have looked on him as on a friend. He is
Tx:24.39  and when you suffer pain of any kind, you have beheld some sin  within your brother and have rejoiced at what you thought was
Tx:24.45  the way. His love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw  within yourself. His holiness shows you Himself in him whose hand you
Tx:24.48  He is one with you and that this Oneness is endless, timeless, and  within your grasp because your hands are His. He is within you, yet
Tx:24.48  timeless, and within your grasp because your hands are His. He is  within you, yet He walks beside you and before, leading the way that
Tx:24.51  failed to lay before you lovingly as yours forever. And no thought  within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you share His
Tx:24.54  for everywhere and find no sight nor place nor time where He is not.  Within your brother's holiness, the perfect frame for your salvation
Tx:24.54  you. Your brother's body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth  within his holiness.
Tx:24.59  are a separate universe with all the power to hold itself complete  within itself, with every entry shut against intrusion and every
Tx:24.63 The memory of God shines not alone. What is  within your brother still contains all of creation, everything
Tx:24.67  one, and one with Him. This is the state of true creation, found not  within time, but in eternity. To no one here is this describable. Nor
Tx:24.71  with no provisions made for evidence beyond itself and no escape  within its sight. Its course is sure when seen through its own eyes.
Tx:24.72  do you see outside yourself, your own beloved son. The other rests  within, His Father's Son, within your brother as he is in you. Their
Tx:24.72  your own beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's Son,  within your brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in
Tx:25.1  not a body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not  within a body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is
Tx:25.1  you. And thus it must be that you are not within a body. What is  within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that you cannot be
Tx:25.1  gives you life cannot be housed in death. No more can you. Christ is  within a frame of holiness whose only purpose is that He may be made
Tx:25.2  Yet does the Son of God abide exactly where he is and walks with him  within his holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth
Tx:25.2  within his holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth  within his body.
Tx:25.8  Christ and His Father never have been separate, and Christ abides  within your understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's
Tx:25.10  could never be the teacher of a Oneness which unites all things  within itself. And so What is within this mind and does unite all
Tx:25.10  of a Oneness which unites all things within itself. And so What is  within this mind and does unite all things together must be its
Tx:25.15 Its past has failed. Be glad that it is gone  within your mind to darken what is there. Take not the form for
Tx:25.16  as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God has set  within this frame is all there is to see. The body holds it for a
Tx:25.16  needs no frame, for what He has created He supports and frames  within Himself. His masterpiece He offers you to see. And would you
Tx:25.17  cherishes the frame instead of it. Yet God has set His masterpiece  within a frame that will endure forever when yours has crumbled into
Tx:25.19  Within the darkness, see the savior from the dark and understand
Tx:25.19  His gentleness becomes your strength, and both will gladly look  within and see the holiness that must be there because of what you
Tx:25.26  be established and maintained without some link that kept it still  within the laws of God; not as the law itself upholds the universe as
Tx:25.27  he stay more than an instant.] For he has come with Heaven's Help  within him ready to lead him out of darkness into light at any time.
Tx:25.35  the world cannot destroy. For it is large enough to hold the world  within its peace.
Tx:25.46  and fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself complete  within a world where incompletion rules.
Tx:25.52  a place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all  within this world. And nothing that the world believes as true has
Tx:25.55  who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane  within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond the
Tx:25.58  From this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he sees  within the world offer him less and less— until he comes to
Tx:25.69  friend. What could He be to them except a devil dressed to deceive  within an angel's cloak? And what escape has He for them except a
Tx:25.75  circumstance that this is true. Nor need you look to your experience  within the world, which is but shadows of all that is really
Tx:25.75  the world, which is but shadows of all that is really happening  within yourself. The understanding which you need comes not of you
Tx:26.2  and what is out can never reach and join with what is locked away  within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part to keep
Tx:26.4  asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen  within a world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to
Tx:26.9 Condemn him not by seeing him  within the rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your special
Tx:26.23  for choice. That there is choice is an illusion. Yet  within this one lies the undoing of every illusion, not excepting
Tx:26.25  in boundless love could need forgiveness. And what is charity  within the world gives way to simple justice past the gate that opens
Tx:26.29  still. And each one joins the singing at the altar which was raised  within the tiny spot that sin proclaimed to be its own. And what was
Tx:26.32  tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them  within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one and
Tx:26.32  held also the Correction for that one and all of them that came  within the first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that
Tx:26.56  and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will creation rise  within you to replace the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect
Tx:26.56  can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which holds all things  within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the
Tx:26.65  circumstance it cannot answer and no problem which is not resolved  within its gracious light.
Tx:26.71  be perceived in future time. No more can it be overlooked except  within the present. Future loss is not your fear. But present
Tx:26.72 The plans you make for safety all are laid  within the future, where you cannot plan. No purpose has been given
Tx:26.72  For a miracle is now. It stands already here in present grace,  within the only interval of time which sin and fear have overlooked
Tx:26.77  Regard him gently. Look with loving eyes on him who carries Christ  within him, that you may behold His glory and rejoice that Heaven is
Tx:26.82  up. There is no place in Heaven holier. And They have come to dwell  within the temple offered them, to be Their resting-place as well as
Tx:26.84  a cross stands now the risen Christ, and ancient scars are healed  within His sight. An ancient miracle has come to bless and to replace
Tx:26.90  is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the light  within, and there has all unfairness been resolved and been replaced
Tx:27.9  that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end alike  within the termination of the grave. If this were true, there would
Tx:27.24  to a half. And these two halves appear to represent a split  within a self perceived as two.]
Tx:27.34  concepts. Though it is but half the picture and is incomplete,  within itself it is the same. The other half of what it represents
Tx:27.38 Attempt to solve no problems but  within the holy instant's surety. For there the problem will be
Tx:27.38  answered, but only to restate its point of view. All questions asked  within this world are but a way of looking, not a question asked. A
Tx:27.40  It dictates the answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning  within the world a form of propaganda for itself. Just as the body's
Tx:27.40  for itself. Just as the body's witnesses are but the senses from  within itself, so are the answers to the questions of the world
Tx:27.40  itself, so are the answers to the questions of the world contained  within the questions. Where answers represent the questions, they add
Tx:27.41  for he does not want an honest answer where the conflict ends. Only  within the holy instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And
Tx:27.42  the mind is still enough to hear an answer which is not entailed  within the question asked. It offers something new and different from
Tx:27.43  from them, and see what can be answered—what the question is.  Within the world the answers merely raise another question, though
Tx:27.47  for the One Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves nothing  within the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from
Tx:27.50  forms. All learning aims at transfer, which becomes complete  within two situations which are seen as one, for only common
Tx:27.51  not the way that you perceive them. You are wrong, but there is One  within you Who is right.
Tx:27.53  to let you understand that you have benefited from it. What occurred  within the instant which love entered in without attack will stay
Tx:27.54  This is the law of purpose, which unites all those who share in it  within itself. Pleasure and pain are equally unreal, because their
Tx:27.55  witness is the same and carries but one message: “You are here  within this body, and you can be hurt. You can have pleasure, too,
Tx:27.56 This body, purposeless  within itself, holds all your memories and all your hopes. You use
Tx:27.57  it is not real. For nothing could contain what you believe it holds  within. Nor could it tell a part of God Himself what it should feel
Tx:27.59  but a single sound—a call for healing and a plaintive cry for help  within a world of misery. It is their sameness that the miracle
Tx:27.65  a need. The world's escape from condemnation is a need which those  within the world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not recognize
Tx:27.67  you should look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand  within one little space. And it is here you find the cause of your
Tx:27.69  shadow, leaping up and down according to a senseless plot conceived  within the idle dreaming of the world.
Tx:27.83  God which can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind  within a body, all are forms of circularity whose ending starts at
Tx:27.83  brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined  within a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the
Tx:27.83  which it punishes because of all the sinful things the body does  within its dream. You have no power to make the body stop its evil
Tx:28.5  nor appoint what it is for. Like to the body, it is purposeless  within itself. And if it seems to serve to cherish ancient hate and
Tx:28.5  made to keep the past alive, the present dead, are stored  within it, waiting your command that they be brought to you and lived
Tx:28.17  must all healing come about because the mind is recognized as not  within the body, and its innocence is quite apart from it and where
Tx:28.18  causelessness is given no effects and none are seen. A mind  within a body and a world of other bodies, each with separate minds,
Tx:28.20  This world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed  within the world. No plans are possible and no design exists that
Tx:28.34  and golden dreams of happiness as all the treasures you would keep  within the storehouse of the world. The door is open, not to thieves
Tx:28.34  break it into days and months and years? And what are you who live  within the world except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces,
Tx:28.34  except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed  within a separate and uncertain bit of clay?
Tx:28.44  evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place  within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of
Tx:28.46  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 that there
Tx:28.51  not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless fragments seen  within the gap which you imagined, and let them persuade their maker
Tx:28.53  and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see  within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing love.
Tx:28.66  and yet this house will stand forever, for its strength lies not  within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on God's promise
Tx:29.5  seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that lies not  within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For now you
Tx:29.21  built to keep apart all living things who know not that they live.  Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of truth—
Tx:29.22  And as you see him shining in the space of light where God abides  within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body
Tx:29.24  must be as bright as shines in him. This is the spark that shines  within the dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking
Tx:29.26  of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is seen  within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant form.
Tx:29.32 The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so deep  within that nothing in this world but passes by, unnoticed and
Tx:29.32  might of its Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God  within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon
Tx:29.45  appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to kill God's Son  within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose
Tx:29.46  Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are not whole  within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to seek
Tx:29.48 All idols of this world were made to keep the truth  within from being known to you and to maintain allegiance to the
Tx:29.48  happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of peace. God dwells  within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place.
Tx:29.49  of idols found outside yourself, with power to make complete what is  within by splitting what you are between the two. You choose your
Tx:29.53  the misery the world reflects. This is the penalty for looking not  within for certainty and quiet calm which liberates you from the
Tx:29.55  to a sign of death. Its form is nowhere, for its source abides  within your mind, where God abideth not. Where is this place where
Tx:29.60  purpose here. For more than Heaven can you never have. If Heaven is  within, why would you seek for idols which would make of Heaven less,
Tx:29.63  that who judges him will not escape the penalty he laid upon himself  within the dream he made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But
Tx:29.64  accomplished and have done to make you sinful and put out the light  within you. Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and idols
Tx:29.68  the holiness which never left the altar which abides forever deep  within the Son of God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he
Tx:30.39  you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will  within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could
Tx:30.43  thought of you. And so there are no separate parts in what exists  within God's Mind. It is forever one, eternally united and at peace.
Tx:30.44  and will be just the same when you remember. And it is the same  within the interval when you forgot.
Tx:30.64  of the world of fear when you have recognized Whose hand you hold!  Within your hand is everything you need to walk with perfect
Tx:30.76  image of yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to look  within and find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on
Tx:31.8  you will understand it was this call that everyone and everything  within the world has always made, but you had not perceived it as
Tx:31.11  you want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call for this  within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call beyond it
Tx:31.28  on its own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind  within the body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which
Tx:31.29  its prisoner. And it grows old and dies because that mind is sick  within itself. Learning is all that causes change. And so the body,
Tx:31.33  And you are in control of outcomes of your choosing. Thus you think  within the narrow band from birth to death a little time is given you
Tx:31.35  point and go beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all  within the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson
Tx:31.36  which you see the purpose of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly  within your learning grasp.
Tx:31.41  worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the world will lead  within, when every road was made to separate the journey from the
Tx:31.44  suffering and sometimes offers solace. It believes that it is good  within an evil world.
Tx:31.49  be used to demonstrate the world is real. For all of them are made  within the world, born in its shadow, growing in its ways, and
Tx:31.64  place. How is this done? It is not done at all. What could there be  within the universe which God created that must still be done?
Tx:31.73  to hold it past the hope of change and keep it static and concealed  within your mind. Give it instead to Him Who understands the changes
Tx:31.75 Behold your role  within the universe! To every part of true creation has the Lord of
Tx:31.78  For holiness is seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence  within and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they call it
Tx:31.93  I ask for nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell  within a world whose loveliness can yet be so intense and so
W1:4.3  of learning to see the meaningless as outside you and the meaningful  within. It is also the beginning of training your mind to recognize
W1:10.3  thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, outside rather than  within, and then stressed their past rather than their present
W1:30.3  applies to everything you do see now or could see now if it were  within the range of your sight.
W1:30.5  your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and looking  within rather than without. Today's idea applies equally to both.
W1:31.1  be applied to both the world you see without and the world you see  within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which
W1:41.2  it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take. Deep  within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through
W1:41.4  not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep  within under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring,
W1:44.2 In order to see, you must recognize that light is  within, not without. You do not see outside yourself, nor is the
W1:50.3  illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God  within you, eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the
W1:57.6  my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep  within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the light of my
W1:70.15 My salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back.  Within me is the world's salvation and my own.
W1:73.5  will look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is  within. The source of neither light nor darkness can be found
W1:77.3  the world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is  within you and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to
W1:85.5  myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from  within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect
W1:91.4  When you have felt the strength in you which makes all miracles  within your easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense
W1:95.1 Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one  within yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation.
W1:95.18  the Son of God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His strength  within you and His love forever yours. You are One Self, and it is
W1:95.18  yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to feel this Self  within you and to cast all your illusions out of the One Mind which
W1:95.20  do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth  within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your own
W1:96.3 Problems that have no meaning cannot be resolved  within the framework they are set. Two selves in conflict could not
W1:96.5  mind can also see itself divorced from Spirit and perceive itself  within a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then, it
W1:96.8 Your Self retains its thoughts, and they remain  within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds
W1:96.9  One Self. Our hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him  within your mind. Salvation comes from this One Self through Him Who
W1:99.3  be a meeting place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled  within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions
W1:99.5  Holy Spirit holds this plan of God exactly as it was received of Him  within the Mind of God and in your own. It is apart from time in that
W1:100.9  this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed! Look deep  within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and foolish goals
W1:102.6 Then seek this function deep  within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. You
W1:103.6 Allow this one correction to be placed  within your mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the
W1:104.3 These are the gifts which are  within us now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have
W1:104.7 We clear a holy place  within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy
W1:106.3  past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness  within His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only
W1:109.9 You rest  within the peace of God today and call upon your brothers from your
W1:109.10  friends—bid them all enter here and rest with you. You rest  within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes
W1:110.4  from His, no split between your mind and other minds, and only unity  within your own.
W1:110.8  in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him  within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and brother to the
W1:R3.6 Place the ideas  within your mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith
W1:111.2  of holiness and truth light up my mind And let me see the innocence  within.
W1:121.11  you hold of him. Look at this picture till you see a light somewhere  within it, and then try to let this light extend until it covers him
W1:122.6  answer! Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you  within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give, you will receive. There
W1:122.9  and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key  within our hands, accepting Heaven's answer to the hell we made, but
W1:124.2 How holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness  within the mind at one with God and with itself. How easily do errors
W1:124.5  restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it first  within ourselves.
W1:124.10  to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you will find it there  within your mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the
W1:125.1  Your Father wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep  within your mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is
W1:125.4  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 He
W1:125.6  desires have been stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is peace  within you to be called upon today to help make ready your most holy
W1:127.5  the truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not  within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and
W1:127.8  has promised this. And He Himself will place a spark of truth  within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark illusion
W1:128.5  its aspects and its phases and its dreams. We hold it purposeless  within our minds and loosen it from all we wish it were. Thus do we
W1:130.12  will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains  within your range of choice to take the place of everything that hell
W1:131.1  where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger, immortality  within the darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where
W1:132.4  strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter thought of death  within your mind. The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give
W1:132.11  because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world  within your mind in thought.
W1:133.10  the ego's hidden goals. And though he tries to keep its halo clear  within his vision, yet must he perceive its tarnished edges and its
W1:133.11  upon the tarnished as his own—the rust a sign of deep unworthiness  within himself. He who would still preserve the ego's goals and serve
W1:135.27  in you, for now you come without defense to learn the part for you  within the plan of God. What little plans or magical beliefs can
W1:136.2  truth from being whole. The parts are seen as if each one were whole  within itself.
W1:136.7  parts are wrested from the whole and seen as separate and as wholes  within themselves, they become symbols standing for attack upon the
W1:137.8  gentle hand is weakness overcome. And minds which were walled off  within a body free to join with other minds, to be forever strong.
W1:137.11  give. What is opposed to God does not exist. And who accepts it not  within his mind becomes a haven where the weary can remain to rest.
W1:138.5  it is known. But knowledge is beyond the goals we seek to teach  within the framework of this course. Ours are teaching goals to be
W1:151.5  it does not believe. It is itself alone that it condemns. It is  within itself it sees the guilt. It is its own despair it sees in you.
W1:151.12  beyond the body and the world, past every witness for unholiness,  within the Holy, holy as Itself. In everyone and everything, His
W1:152.6  the afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the mind that lives  within a body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think
W1:153.2  for there is treachery without and still a greater treachery  within. The mind is now confused and knows not where to turn to find
W1:153.10  think how holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable  within its light. God's ministers have chosen that the truth be with
W1:154.1  our worth, nor 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
W1:158.6  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 all

W1:163.4  as this? Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived  within an idol made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed
W1:164.6  to the world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things  within the world, looks back on them in a new light. And what you see
W1:164.8  Your trifling treasures put away and leave a clean and open space  within your mind where Christ can come and offer you the treasure of
W1:165.4  comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction lies  within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet God
W1:165.7  certain. And the Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness must abide  within you who are host to Him. This course removes all doubts which
W1:167.6  change what is its waking state. It cannot make a body nor abide  within a body. What is alien to the mind does not exist because it

W1:168.3 Today we ask of God the gift He has most carefully preserved  within our hearts, waiting to be acknowledged. This the gift by which
W1:169.2 Grace is acceptance of the Love of God  within a world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and
W1:170.4  the enemy without that you attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy  within—an alien thought at war with you, depriving you of peace,
W1:181.3  goals, and what we saw an instant previous has no concern for us  within this interval of time wherein we practice changing our intent.
W1:181.5  time of practicing with one intent—to look upon the sinlessness  within. We recognize that we have lost this goal if anger blocks our
W1:182.5  well. He will return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself  within the peace that is His home, resting in silence and in peace
W1:182.7  patience has no limits. He will wait until you hear His gentle Voice  within you, calling you to let Him go in peace along with you to
W1:183.1  for their identity. Your Father's Name reminds you who you are, even  within a world that does not know; even though you have not
W1:183.6  as you sit with him in silence and repeat God's Name along with him  within your quiet minds, you have established there an altar which
W1:183.11  is given you. No prayer but this is necessary, for it holds them all  within it. words are insignificant and all requests unneeded when
W1:184.11  One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies all things  within Itself. Use all the names the world bestows on them but for
W1:187.10  give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we look  within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our
W1:188.2  the presence of what he beholds in him? It is not difficult to look  within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of

W1:188.6 Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light  within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of
W1:188.6  you. Exclude the outer world and let your thoughts fly to the peace  within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the
W1:188.7  on them, but they must remain with you as well, for they were born  within your mind as yours was born in God's. They lead you back to
W1:188.8  we share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the light  within our minds direct them to come home. We have betrayed them,
W1:189.1  a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the Love of God  within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with
W1:189.4  them, the joy with which they look out from the endless wells of joy  within. What they have felt in them they look upon and see its sure
W1:189.5  forget this law of seeing: you will look upon that which you feel  within. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive
W1:189.5  will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place  within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in
W1:189.5  in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you feel the Love of God  within you, you look out upon a world of mercy and of love.

W1:191.2  this to you. There is no sound that does not speak of frailty  within you and without, no breath you draw that does not seem to
W1:192.1  one with God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean  within a world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a
W1:194.8  perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the world  within the hands to which he has himself appealed for comfort and
W1:195.3  to lie in death with you, as useless as yourself, as little left  within his grasping fingers as in yours.
W1:196.3  will not believe you are a body to be crucified. And you will see  within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking past all

W1:196.10  attack could be directed outward and returned from outside to  within. It seemed to be an enemy outside you had to fear. And thus a
W1:196.11 Now for an instant is a murderer perceived  within you, eager for your death, intent on plotting punishment for
W1:197.8  the holy Son of God, for as you were created you contain all things  within your Self. And you are still as God created you. Nor can you

W1:199.7  freedom as your gift to those who still believe they are enslaved  within a body. Be you free, so that the Holy Spirit can make use of

W1:209.1 [189] I feel the Love of God  within me now. The Love of God is what created me. The Love of God
W1:209.1  I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love of God  within me sets me free. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still

C:I.5 The mind cannot hold open the doors of the heart and yet we turn  within, turn to the mind, and show it where its openness lies, where

C:P.26  members are descended from the same ancestors, the same bloodline.  Within that bloodline are genes that carry particular traits and

C:1.12  healed, to create like your Creator. This yearning exists naturally  within you and cannot be diminished or satiated.
C:1.13  The goal of this world is for you to stand on your own, complete  within yourself. This goal will never be reached, and only when you
C:1.13  it can you begin to learn anything of value. You are complete only  within God, where you endlessly abide. Striving to be that which you

C:3.10  that has been manifested in your world was first conceived  within the mind. While you know this is true, you continue to believe
C:3.14  stay. Your heart is now your eyes and ears. Your mind can remain  within your concept of the brain, for we bypass it now and send it no
C:3.16  in a new way and in our learning realize that our light shines from  within our heart, our altar to the Lord. Here the Christ in us abides
C:3.17  the weak of body and of mind. Our hearts are not so easily contained  within the casing of our flesh and bone. Our hearts take wing with

C:4.15  not too demanding, a companion and a lover who will be convenient  within a busy life.
C:4.17  that do not interest or fulfill you. You accept what you are paid  within certain boundaries you have set; you expect that a certain
C:4.20  have made but must have another where you are at home and can abide  within love's presence.
C:4.21 The lucky ones among you have made a place resembling home  within your world. It is where you keep love locked away behind
C:4.24 Thus has your perception of love prepared you for what love is. For  within you is the altar for your worship, within you has love's
C:4.24  you for what love is. For within you is the altar for your worship,  within you has love's holiness been protected, within you abides the
C:4.24  for your worship, within you has love's holiness been protected,  within you abides the Host who loves all dearly. Within you is the
C:4.24  been protected, within you abides the Host who loves all dearly.  Within you is the light that will show you what love is and keep it
C:4.24  allow a new world to be seen, a world that will allow you to abide  within love's presence.
C:4.25  love has joined the world. For love does join the world, and it is  within this joining that love abides, holy as itself.
C:4.26  for everything that goes on outside yourself and nothing that occurs  within. Yet it is a joining that occurs within that brings about the
C:4.26  and nothing that occurs within. Yet it is a joining that occurs  within that brings about the joining of all the world for all the
C:4.26  of all the world for all the world to see. This joining of the world  within is but your recognition of what love is, safe and secure
C:4.26  within is but your recognition of what love is, safe and secure  within you and your brother, as you join together in truth. Think you
C:4.27  to the world outside of you, but every relation to the world  within, where in love's presence both outer and inner worlds become

C:5.14  again the difference between what is within and what is without:  Within is all that has joined with you. Without is all that you would
C:5.14  has joined with you. Without is all that you would keep separate.  Within you is every relationship you have ever had with anything.
C:5.16  your safety found. This comparison is not idly drawn. Your home is  within and it is real, as real as the home you have made within the
C:5.16  home is within and it is real, as real as the home you have made  within the world seems to be. You can say the real world is somewhere

C:5.23  after it with single-minded determination, believing the only choice  within your control is what to work hard to obtain. If you let all
C:5.30 God is known to you  within relationships, as this is all that is real here. God cannot be
C:6.2  you from your brother. This is reality. Your mind is not contained  within your body but is one with God and shared equally with all
C:6.15  this: you seek to make sense of an insane world, to find meaning  within meaninglessness, purpose among the purposeless.
C:6.21  disappointment. All that you have wished for and have not acquired  within your life is the evidence you would use to deny yourself hope
C:7.1  ideas do come to fruition and succeed in getting desirable things  within this world. “I had that idea,” you lament when another
C:7.5  you have set aside you allow it not to claim. This piece is held  within your heart, and it is this piece with which we now will work.
C:7.8 To this Self is this appeal put forth. Let it be heard and held  within your heart. Hold it joyously alongside what already occupies
C:7.8  you give you will receive in truth, you will see that what abides  within your heart is all that is worthy of your giving and all you

C:8.9 Safe  within your heart lies love's reality, a reality so foreign to you
C:8.9  remember it not. Yet it is to this reality we head as we travel deep  within you to the center of your Self.
C:8.16  as well, for many of you are thinking still that it is what is  within the body that is real: your brain and heart, your thoughts and
C:8.16  the truth, it would be the truth. If your body and what lies  within it are not who you are, you feel as if you are left homeless.

C:9.20  not that outward signs of fear are but reflections of what you keep  within.
C:9.25  How could you fail to provide the next meal for yourself and those  within your care? You do not see all that these distractions of
C:9.26  are yourself, and they are your only means to grasp eternity even  within this false reality you have made.
C:9.28  what it is? Have you not seen this kind of distortion take place  within the reality you do see? Is this not the story of the gifted
C:9.30  of an imaginary friend, the child announces that his body is not  within his control. What is your ego but an imaginary friend to you?
C:9.44  only these, rather than being reflected by the group, are reflected  within the individual. The individual with issues of abuse would do a
C:9.49  of the world must change, and the stimulus for this change lies  within you. All use ends with joining, for use is what you have
C:10.14  in the body. To believe you are not your body while you walk around  within it is something quite different than believing in God. Here
C:10.18  you do not like, again offer your willingness to find some happiness  within it. These instructions to your heart will begin to make a
C:10.31  your body did not seem to be a boundary that kept you contained  within its limitations. Then you will remember that this is but a

C:10.32  Its whisper will be heard within your thoughts. Its melody will play  within your mind. “Come back, come back,” it will say to you. “Come

C:11.1 The exercises in this Course of Love are few, and they are contained  within the Course itself rather than separated from it. There are but
C:11.3  failing one more time. Even those who feel the power of these words  within their hearts and vow to go slowly and carefully through each
C:11.4  understanding as long as you remain willing for the ideas to dwell  within you, and you do not try to shut them out. Realize that the
C:12.9 Your Self rests totally unchanged  within the Christ in you. Re-establishing your relationship with your
C:12.12  from a form different than that which you inhabit now; but certainly  within the laws of evolution, you have changed as little as the birds
C:12.13  and gone and left this void forever more unfilled? A gaping hole  within the universe itself?
C:12.16  than the Son, and accepted the Holy Spirit as something largely not  within your understanding, only exemplifies the nature of the error
C:12.16  we continue, realizing that these words can express the truth only  within their ability as symbols, and that farther than where these
C:12.16  that farther than where these symbols can take you, the truth lies  within your Self.
C:12.17  you could never keep track of them all, and yet they still exist  within you and do not splinter off and become something on their own

C:13.12  any hurts on you or anyone else. No reason for guilt will exist  within this memory. No shame or fear is here, and no grievances of
C:14.1  your united purpose must change to that of remembering who you are  within God's creation, rather than in the world that you have made.
C:14.2  an enemy of creation? Do you feel part of it and at one with all  within it? If not, you have made yourself creation's enemy. You seek
C:14.11  relationship's configuration, it was one that truly brought you joy.  Within it you were happy and felt as if you needed nothing more than
C:14.16  lost to the world? You are alone and irreplaceable: one of a kind.  Within you lie all that you would hope to contribute and create.
C:14.16  Within you lie all that you would hope to contribute and create.  Within the actions and interactions of your lifetime lie all the
C:14.17  of it, and so it must be unique. Everything that would happen  within the universe would depend upon it.
C:14.18 You think that you are quite aware of your small space  within the universe, and that it is foolishness to say that you think

C:15.4  in the wider world you think you are anonymous and so are they. If  within the small sphere of those they love they cannot be made to
C:15.5 And so  within this small sphere you do what is necessary to maintain your
C:15.5  is necessary to maintain your specialness and that of the others  within it. Depending on your culture what is necessary may mean few
C:15.5  look, lifestyle, or attitude, you might risk being seen as special  within this group, and your choices might affect your ability to make
C:15.6 How many rest  within this sphere of influence? Twenty, fifty, one hundred? And how
C:16.1  way you think it is. Love has but one source! That this source lies  within each of you does not make it many sources, for the many of you
C:17.1  of the universe. Without the real you in it, there would be a void  within the universe—and this would be impossible. And yet there is
C:17.3  yet you know you cannot claim that you are aware of all that exists  within the universe, or even that you fully know your own Self. What
C:17.18  united function we have established—returning to you your identity  within God's creation.

C:20.8  embrace. All beauty resides there. All light is fused and infused  within the embrace. Within the embrace our sight clears and what we
C:20.8  resides there. All light is fused and infused within the embrace.  Within the embrace our sight clears and what we see is known rather
C:20.12  indivisible and curved inward upon each other. Love grows from  within as a child grows within its mother's womb. Inward, inward,
C:20.12  inward upon each other. Love grows from within as a child grows  within its mother's womb. Inward, inward, into the embrace, the

C:20.18 Who could be left out of the embrace? And who from  within the embrace could be separate and alone?
C:20.21  it can be simple, as simple as realizing the oneness of the embrace.  Within the embrace you can let all thought go. Within the embrace,

C:20.22 Sanctity is all that exists  within the embrace. How could you be less than sacred? You exist in
C:20.25  all that you are. You are the beauty of the world and peace abides  within you.
C:20.29  as acts of cooperation. Holiness cannot be contained, and it is not  within your power to limit it. To feel the holiness of the embrace is
C:20.35  any relation to the whole. Knowing what you do comes from existing  within the embrace. You know you do the will of God because you are
C:20.36  condition of the initiate, new to the realization of having a home  within the embrace. It is the response that says to all you have just
C:20.47  among the reasons for your belief in your inability to effect change  within your own life and certainly within the greater life of the
C:20.47  your inability to effect change within your own life and certainly  within the greater life of the universe. You must understand that
C:20.47  and are things your mind has been trained to see as being  within its scope. It is as if you have cordoned off a little section
C:20.48  heart has a different scope, a different view. It is the view from  within the embrace, the view from love's angle. It is the view of the
C:21.8  thing to do but acting instead on what is the accepted thing to do  within his or her community. In such an instance the external and
C:22.9  it is the passing through that creates the intersection. Everything  within your world and your day must pass through you in order to gain
C:22.9  when thinking of this, use the words I have provided: everything  within your world. In the act of pass-through you assign meaning to
C:22.9  world. In the act of pass-through you assign meaning to everything  within your world. The meaning you assign becomes the reality of the
C:22.10 Further, it is the part of you through which everything  within your world passes and your awareness of it that determines the
C:22.10  like unto the layers of the onion than the globe, with everything  within your world needing to pass through layers with a seeming lack
C:22.16  brought to such a halt and examined apart from everything else  within your world. Anyone wanting to learn anything about you would
C:22.16  to learn anything about you would be wiser to observe you as you are  within your world. Would you still be the same person in a
C:22.17  away. This is the scenario that separates you from everything else  within your world. Everything has meaning only according to what it
C:22.19  of how you tell a story or report on events that have taken place  within your life. You personalize. You are likely to report on what a
C:22.23  allow you to see your “self” as an integral part of all that exists  within your world rather than as the small and insignificant personal
C:23.24  by experiences of duality. While you hold conflicting beliefs  within you, you will be conflicted and affected by polarity.
C:23.24  to purge old beliefs so that only one set of beliefs is operative  within you. This is the only route to the certainty you seek, and
C:25.5  than the perceived. Each time you feel a lack of love, it comes from  within yourself. This lack of love, or “faked” love of which you
C:25.7  which you can purify your engagement with life and all you encounter  within it. Devotion is synonymous with true service. True service
C:25.13  While you believe feelings of lack of love come from anywhere but  within, you will not be invulnerable.
C:25.15  pure joining is its objective. The first joining comes from  within and it is putting into practice the lessons of joining mind
C:26.7  To have no meaning to attach to your life is the tragedy you see  within it and attempt to keep hidden from yourself. This fear goes
C:26.18  This is the invitation to greet your Self and to find your Self  within this day.
C:26.22  be the same as saying that there was no idea brought to completion  within the pages or on the film. In God's idea of you is all that is
C:26.22  idea. In God's idea of you is the pattern of the universe, much as  within a novel, movie, piece of music, invention or artistic idea is
C:27.15  of what those situations entail. It is rather the you in and  within the relationship that responds out of the knowledge gained
C:27.19  simple knowing of a way things are meant to be. It is a knowing felt  within the heart for which there still will be no proof, but for
C:27.19  The typical fears you have experienced in the past will not arise  within this knowing.
C:28.11  to action, of some necessary form to be given to what you carry  within.
C:29.8  gain, it is not. A return to unity is a return to unity. From  within the center, the core of unity, your accomplishment goes out to
C:29.16  thus: Life exists in relationship. Relationship is the interaction  within which service occurs. The replacement of the idea of service
C:30.12 The laws of God are laws of Love.  Within the laws of love there is no loss, but only gain.
C:31.23  you have with everything is revealed in truth. This truth lies  within everything that exists, as it lies within you. As you learn
C:31.23  in truth. This truth lies within everything that exists, as it lies  within you. As you learn that who you are is love, no deception is
C:31.26  experience to truth, and thus to your mind. Only the truth abides  within your mind, for only it can enter the holy altar you share with
C:31.29 If you can look for your Self  within your brothers and sisters, however, they must also be able to
T1:1.3  seek no more. All that you are in need of knowing has been provided  within A Course of Love. That your learning does not feel complete is
T1:2.2 We identified much for you to leave behind  within the pages of A Course of Love. These many things which seemed
T1:2.5  cause of this freedom being accomplished in you. What was spoken of  within A Course of Love as unlearning has begun and continues here.
T1:2.5  Love as unlearning has begun and continues here. What was spoken of  within A Course of Love as new learning has begun and continues here
T1:2.11  seem indicated. All of these implications have been touched upon  within A Course of Love. The most essential of these implications is
T1:3.10 As was said  within A Course of Love, willingness does not require conviction but
T1:3.14  your fear is mightier than your willingness. But hold this thought  within your mind. What is needed to convince you will be provided.
T1:4.9  to give and is all you are asked to give. This response comes from  within the Self—the rightly identified and acknowledged Self.
T1:4.12 You may answer that there are many, even  within this Course's definition of gift, the most obvious of which
T1:4.13  response, a necessary response, an obligation. Response happens from  within. Responsibility is all about dealing with an outside world.
T1:4.26 As was said  within A Course of Love, all fear is doubt about your self. Now we
T1:5.3 When it was said  within A Course of Love that the great paradox of creation is that,
T1:5.3  is that, while creation is perfect, something has gone wrong  within it, this fear in relation to the human experience is of what
T1:5.3  of what it was I spoke. The choice for suffering that has been made  within the human condition is what I speak of specifically here.
T1:5.4  How can you not be fearful of creation when such suffering occurs  within it? But there is another aspect that relates to the fear of
T1:5.4  that relates to the fear of union we spent much time discussing  within A Course of Love. It is a fear of the human mind that cannot
T1:5.7  to be capable of offering resistance. Your search for “something”  within the in-between, if it leads not beyond the in-between, but
T1:5.9  existence that is real. Your heart as we have defined it many times  within this Course, must exist in the thought system that is real to
T1:5.9  not present in the realm of the truly real, but is actually present  within the illusion. This is why all seeking must turn within, toward
T1:5.9  present within the illusion. This is why all seeking must turn  within, toward the heart where the real Self abides. There is nothing
T1:6.2  state of “all” from the unreal state of the in-between. Only from  within a state that is real can anything happen in truth.
T1:7.2  part of being human that calls for acceptance. They thus find peace  within suffering rather than abolishing suffering. This acceptance is
T1:8.11  not as myth and reality have no concrete distinction in the illusion  within which you live. In other words you live as much by myth as by
T1:9.4  manifestations, but reflects inner change. The growth of a new being  within the womb of another is a visible manifestation of gestation,
T1:9.4  and father, what would have died without the joining that occurred  within, becomes new life.
T1:9.8  for you this receiving or communion. Only through the Christ  within you does this giving and receiving become one in truth.
T1:9.9  into a new form, you would also; that this new form would exist  within you; that you would become the Body of Christ and giving and
T1:9.12  to serve you through the intercession of the Holy Spirit. In turning  within rather than without to find what you need to free you from the
T1:9.12  In the same way that embracing both the male and female attributes  within you causes a merging of both and a wholeness to be achieved,
T1:10.6  They have cracked open hearts and minds to the divine presence  within. You have chosen them for just this reason. But you can now be
T1:10.6  You can continue to experience life and still carry the Peace of God  within you. As you live in peace you can be an example to your
T1:10.7  and you cannot partake if you are going to carry the Peace of God  within you.
T1:10.8  is no other God. Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you,  within the Peace of God is all the joy of what you have known as the
T1:10.11  follow occasions of happiness or trauma, but they do not happen  within them. Peak experiences are what you can look forward to rather
T2:1.1  are all aware, at least at times, that there are treasures that lie  within you. What was once regarded as treasure, such as a talent that
T2:1.4  when realized, might feed the ego. Despite many observations  within this Course regarding desire, you may still fear your desire.
T2:1.7  to maintain your peace. There is another choice, and it lies  within.
T2:1.8 The treasure that lies  within that you do not yet fully recognize is that of unity. As you
T2:1.8  fully recognize is that of unity. As you have learned much of unity  within the context of this Course, unity, like rest, may have come to
T2:2.1  What is it in you that recognizes talents that lie fully realized  within? The practical mind is not the source of such imagination. The
T2:3.1  of creation. It was created. All of it. It exists, fully realized  within you. Your work here is to express it. You are far more than
T2:3.2  for expression. Life is the desire to express outwardly what exists  within. What I refer to so often here as being within, as if “within”
T2:3.2  outwardly what exists within. What I refer to so often here as being  within, as if “within” is a place in which something resides, is
T2:3.4  something real and learning something that is of relevance even  within the daily life you currently move through. Now you must fully
T2:3.7  to explain. If the ability to create beautiful music already exists  within you, you do not have to learn what beautiful music is, only
T2:3.7  what beautiful music is, only how to express it. If you see beauty  within, you do not have to learn what beauty is, only how to express
T2:3.7  quite literally true that the seeds of much of creation lie dormant  within you, already accomplished but awaiting expression in this
T2:3.8  identity in the broadest sense imaginable. Christ is your identity  within the unity that is creation.
T2:4.3  of Love work hand-in-hand because the change of thinking taught  within A Course in Miracles was a change of thinking about yourself.
T2:4.3  order to reveal to you who you truly are. While you continue to act  within the world as who you think you are rather than as who you are,
T2:4.4  is attempting to show you how to live as who you are, how to act  within the world as the new Self you have identified. Just like
T2:4.5  in to who you think you are could be likened to trying to move  within water as you would on land. Why, when moving freely through
T2:4.7 This applies directly to your reaction to all that occurs  within your life. Let us look now at your reaction to the idea put
T2:4.12  peace to go in search of calling but are rather asked to listen from  within that peace to what you feel called to do. This is not about
T2:4.18  cannot be measured because of its simultaneous nature. As was said  within A Course of Love, time is but a measurement of the “time” it
T2:5.1  to action. We have talked heretofore about a calling you feel from  within, as if you are listening to a new voice that would reveal your
T2:5.5  to come in the form of demands are often calls that come to you from  within the teaching and learning ground of relationships. You may be
T2:5.7  with who you are. These lessons will bring who you are into focus  within your mind through the vehicle of your heart.
T2:6.1  is your heart. It is what alerts you to the treasures that lie  within. There is no time in the place we are calling within and your
T2:6.1  that lie within. There is no time in the place we are calling  within and your heart knows not of time even while it adheres to the
T2:6.5  You believe that your treasures only become accomplished abilities  within time. You believe that your treasures only become part of your
T2:6.8  that needs adjustment now. As a tree exists fully accomplished  within its seed and yet grows and changes, you exist fully
T2:6.8  its seed and yet grows and changes, you exist fully accomplished  within the seed that is the Christ in you even while you continue to
T2:6.8  and action of all kinds are but expressions of what already exist  within the seed of the already accomplished.
T2:6.10  unity in the present, in the here and now, so that you exist—even  within form—as the only Son of God, the Christ, the word made
T2:7.4  idea of “relationship” that has been so often defined and repeated  within this Course. In order to believe in giving and receiving as
T2:7.10  of the desire for change. Certainly there will continue to be things  within your life that are in need of change. As was stated in the
T2:7.10  You will want to move into the world and be an active force  within it. These are aims consistent with the teachings of this
T2:7.13  You cannot effect change without, without having effected change  within. You cannot be independent and still be of service. For as
T2:7.19  that you bring the thoughts and feelings that arise to the place  within your heart that has been prepared for them. You do not deny
T2:8.2 As was said  within A Course of Love, the one you come to know through
T2:8.2  on which you now stand. All that prevents you from being who you are  within these relationships must be let go. All that will complement
T2:8.6 It was said often  within A Course of Love that the truth does not change. Thus the
T2:8.6  you be away 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.
T2:9.10  your needs makes the difference in your connection or separation  within relationship. The extent to which you are willing to abdicate
T2:9.13 So how do you remain  within the constant creative flux or flow of creation without either
T2:10.1  static state is not a living state because creation is not occurring  within it. This is a living Course. This is why you are called to
T2:10.3  a hand swats away a fly. You know that the information is contained  within you and yet you are often forced to accept an inability to
T2:10.14  that allows you to move through each day and all the experiences  within it as who you are in truth. It releases you from the feeling
T2:11.1 The Christ in you is relationship. As you were told  within the pages of A Course of Love, you are a being who exists in
T2:11.15  ego is real, you will feel as if there are two identities that exist  within you and you will see yourself as doing battle in countless
T2:11.15  of conflict is the source of all conflict that seems real to you  within your world. This battle of good and evil, while you believe in
T2:11.17  is indeed a miracle and the very miracle you have been prepared for  within this course of learning.
T2:12.8 If callings come to alert you to the treasure  within, how can it be that you, as a miracle-minded being, are not
T2:12.9  is the relationship and the miracle waiting to happen. As we spoke  within A Course of Love of relationship being not one thing or
T2:12.9  you is the real you, then this all-encompassing relationship, both  within you and without you, both you and all you are in relationship
T2:12.10  The gardener knows that although the plant exists fully realized  within its seed, it also needs the relationship of earth and water,
T2:12.11  of struggle. The ego would hang on to what is already accomplished  within you, never to let it express, through relationship, all that
T2:12.12  then, of the all-encompassing holy relationship that exists  within you and without you, both in all you are and all you are in
T2:12.14 Recognize now that unity is  within you and without you, in all you are and all you are in
T2:13.2  ready, it is time for us to have a personal relationship. We have,  within these lessons, taken you far from your personal self, and I,
T3:1.11  yourself to be could be two completely different selves. Even  within the illusion in which you existed there was a self kept hidden.
T3:2.3  only means you saw of deciphering the world around you and your role  within it. Separation, aloneness, independence, individuality—these
T3:2.4 While much time was spent  within this Course, discussing the choice you but think you made,
T3:2.5  shaped your dualistic view of the world and all that exists with you  within it. For every “glory,” gift, or success you have achieved you
T3:2.5  from the truth and is the cause of all your suffering, for contained  within this belief was the belief that with each successful step
T3:2.11 This memory lies  within your heart and has the ability to turn the image you have made
T3:2.11  This thought system has allowed only the acceptance of a reality  within certain parameters, for it has not allowed you to imagine
T3:6.3  the many details that seem to make it possible for you to live  within your world. The idea of reward transfers to ideas related to
T3:6.3  given in another, is the cause of much of the bitterness that exists  within your hearts.
T3:6.4  self and a learned self, there has always been just enough room  within the ego's thought system to keep within you the idea of a self
T3:6.4  always been just enough room within the ego's thought system to keep  within you the idea of a self the ego is not. Thus has the ego had a
T3:6.4  as time itself and the cause of bitterness being able to exist, even  within your hearts.
T3:7.3  and thus your inaccurate ideas about yourself have their cause  within you, as does your ability to change this cause and its effects.
T3:7.4 You are who you are and remain endlessly who you are, even here  within the human experience. This is the idea that is beyond compare
T3:7.4  is the only idea that holds true meaning and so all meaning is found  within it. Thus we start with this idea.
T3:7.5 The only thing  within the human experience that made you incapable of representing
T3:7.5  of representing who you are in truth was the ego. The only thing  within the human experience that deprived the human experience of
T3:7.6 You have formerly been capable of representing who you are only  within illusion for this was the abode in which you resided. Illusion
T3:7.6  of representing your true Self. This representation of the true Self  within the house of illusion was like an explosion happening there.
T3:7.6  floorboards shook, the walls quaked, the lights dimmed. All those  within the house became aware of something happening there. All
T3:7.8 Thus has been the best of what you call life  within the illusion.
T3:7.9  is a reason for this. The reason is that the Source cannot be found  within the house of illusion. The Source can only be found from
T3:7.9  within the house of illusion. The Source can only be found from  within the House of Truth.
T3:7.10 The home of truth is  within you and we have just unlocked its doors.
T3:8.2 If the Source of Truth is  within you, then it is your own revelation toward which we work.
T3:8.3  blocks for its thought system. As long as you carry this bitterness  within you, you will remain in the house of illusion for your
T3:8.3  that keeps you from the truth as surely as would iron bars keep you  within its rooms.
T3:8.6  well as the choice to leave suffering behind, has always been found  within? Who then are you to be angry with for all that has occurred?
T3:8.7  in A Course of Love, the idea of suffering is what has gone so wrong  within God's creation. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of
T3:8.9 As the representations of the true Self  within the house of illusion caused explosions and a fallout of
T3:8.9  and a fallout of treasure, the representation of the true Self  within the House of Truth will cause the creation of the new.
T3:8.11  Within the fallout of treasure, what was looked for was found. If
T3:9.1  from love is real. It is an idea that says only that which fits  within the laws of love is reality. It is an idea that says all that
T3:9.1  not exist. It is an idea that says that if you live from love and  within love's laws you will create only love. It is an idea that
T3:9.3  are joined in unity and exist in relationship. All of the ideas  within the house of illusion were contained within it and held
T3:9.3  All of the ideas within the house of illusion were contained  within it and held together by the learned ideas of the ego thought
T3:9.3  will be tempted, at first, to see things that are like unto those  within the house of illusion and call them what you called them once
T3:9.4 You will see that the house of illusion was just a structure built  within the universe of truth and that the universe of truth contains
T3:9.4  universe of truth and that the universe of truth contains everything  within its benevolent embrace. No one stands beyond the embrace of
T3:9.4  embrace of love and you will be glad to see that those who remain  within the house of illusion could not escape love's presence.
T3:9.5  its doors. You will be able to take note of the explosions happening  within and will want to return to add your own to those going on
T3:9.5  the walls will finally come tumbling down and those inside be held  within illusion no more. This was the work of many who came before
T3:9.5  shake the walls of illusion. Few stand beyond it to beckon to those  within.
T3:10.1  the truth, you must realize that while meaninglessness exists  within your mind, you will be working still to replace it with
T3:10.2  is offered as an exercise in forgetting. As often as is possible  within your daily life, I ask you to forget as much of what you have
T3:10.8  voice of the ego. While the ego is gone, many of its messages remain  within your thoughts, like echoes of a former time. These thoughts
T3:10.13  forgotten. However, if you were to return to a dwelling where those  within it spoke only Spanish, soon your knowledge of Spanish would
T3:10.15  because they will realize that the memory of this language exists  within them as well. It will come naturally to you to welcome these
T3:10.16  still exists, you will continue to encounter those who exist  within it. While you continue to encounter those who exist in the
T3:11.1  been seen as a statement of awareness of the self. Those existing  within the house of illusion are aware of the self but are unaware
T3:11.2 Those existing  within the House of Truth also feel an awareness of Self. Without
T3:11.6  and lived by the truth. I was aware of the Peace of God and lived  within the Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love
T3:11.6  of God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love of God lived  within me.
T3:11.7  what you are now called to do: Be aware that the love of God lives  within you. Live within the Peace of God. Live by the truth.
T3:11.7  called to do: Be aware that the love of God lives within you. Live  within the Peace of God. Live by the truth.
T3:11.9  the Kingdom of God or the House of Truth exists, but how to live  within it. The question of how to live within it is best addressed by
T3:11.9  Truth exists, but how to live within it. The question of how to live  within it is best addressed by concentrating on living according to
T3:11.12  All exist in the House of Truth. The house of illusion exists  within the House of Truth because it is where your brothers and
T3:11.12  heaven. Choice and the awareness of the power of choice that exists  within is all that differentiates one from the other.
T3:11.13 You must not see your brothers and sisters  within the house of illusion but must see them where they truly are—
T3:11.13  the house of illusion but must see them where they truly are— within the House of Truth. As soon as you would “see” the house of
T3:11.15  to produce a new outcome. Do not be afraid to use anything available  within the house of illusion to promote the recognition of truth. Do
T3:12.2 You exist  within the time of consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin
T3:12.2  The steps that came before that of the personal self did not come  within time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation
T3:12.7  to dream of is a state in which only God's laws of love exist even  within the realm of physicality. What this means is that all that in
T3:12.10  of creation than a physical self able to choose to express the Self  within the laws of love? A physical self, able to express itself from
T3:12.10  the laws of love? A physical self, able to express itself from  within the House of Truth in ways consistent with peace and love is
T3:12.11 While this would seem to say that mistakes may occur  within creation, remember that creation is about change and growth.
T3:12.11  that creation is about change and growth. There is no right or wrong  within creation but there are stages of growth and change. Humankind
T3:13.2  feel a connection to God during such times, you will not be dwelling  within the peace of God. Your Self and God will be but memories to
T3:13.14  physical self represents, in form, the thought or image produced  within the Self. Ideas, in the context in which we are speaking of
T3:14.1  from the new thought system. The new thought system will still exist  within your mind and heart, as nothing can now take this memory from
T3:14.1  not bring about the changes you would so desire to have come about  within your physical experience. You may live a more peaceful and
T3:14.2  accept your current status and begin to feel more peace and joy  within it. If you are not well, you may cope more easily with your
T3:14.6  eyes of love, you will be much more likely to see love everywhere  within the life you currently live than to see the need to change
T3:15.1  form of new beginning has taken place or been offered. Often, those  within the relationship of marriage have had occasion to choose to
T3:15.2 What hampers new beginnings of all kinds  within the human experience are ideas that things cannot be different
T3:15.3  certain behavior—and expectations of continued special treatment  within the relationship. Even, and sometimes especially, what is
T3:15.3  behavior can come to be an expectation difficult to deviate from  within the special relationship. But whether the expectation is of
T3:15.10  is with the Self, the Self that abides in unity with all  within the House of Truth. This relationship makes the Self one with
T3:15.11  have said here that love, peace, and truth are interchangeable ideas  within the new thought system. Thus, truth, like love, is not
T3:15.11  News is that you have no need to learn the truth. The truth exists  within you and you are now aware of its reality.
T3:15.12 How then, do you access and live  within this new reality, this new beginning? Through living by the
T3:15.15  and receiving are one in truth. There is no loss but only gain  within the laws of love. Special relationships have been replaced by
T3:16.4  before, I am also confident in saying that a hope has been instilled  within you, a hope for the very changes that you feel you need in
T3:16.4  for the very changes that you feel you need in order to reflect,  within your daily life, the new Self you have become.
T3:16.5 We spoke once before  within A Course of Love of your impatience and of this Course acting
T3:16.6  awaiting replacement by what will be, is a change that must occur  within. As has already been said, this change has to do with the
T3:16.11 There is no loss but only gain  within the laws of love.
T3:16.12 By saying that there is no loss but only gain  within the laws of love, you are being told to have no fear. Fear of
T3:16.12  resistance at all but the idea that there is no loss but only gain  within the laws of love.
T3:16.15  is the idea of the holy relationship in which all exist in unity and  within the protection of love's embrace. If you but live by the idea
T3:16.15  new Self will create. As you live with awareness of the love of God  within you, you will see that you have no need for special love
T3:17.1  was simply so that expressions of love could be created and observed  within the realm of physicality.
T3:17.4  to occur. A new experience was chosen—the experience of existing  within the realm of physicality. As such, it was as much a new
T3:17.5  the desired experience to learn the lessons of what was observable  within the physical realm, to have begun to forget the unobservable
T3:17.7  names have represented the truth and in so doing dispelled illusion  within themselves and those who followed their teachings and example.
T3:17.7  those who followed their teachings and example. This has occurred  within the time of the Holy Spirit.
T3:17.8  and the thought system of the ego-self and been able to communicate  within that illusion. Without this means of communication with the
T3:18.10  health, abundance, peace, and happiness. You can observe this  within yourself because it exists within your Self. What exists
T3:18.10  happiness. You can observe this within yourself because it exists  within your Self. What exists within you is shared by all. This is
T3:18.10  this within yourself because it exists within your Self. What exists  within you is shared by all. This is the relationship of the truth
T3:19.1 You must not fear the changes that will occur  within your physical form as it begins to be guided by the thought
T3:19.10  The true source of these temptations has been revealed to lie  within the faulty beliefs to which the body merely responded. The
T3:19.12 These lessons could not be taught while blame remained  within your thought system. No victim is to blame for the violence
T3:19.12  violence done to them. No sick person is to blame for the illness  within them. But you must be able to look at and see reality for what
T3:19.15  will be tempted to return to the house of illusion to gather those  within and bid them join you in the reality of the truth. But in this
T3:20.2  there was no sense to be made of concepts such as more or less  within illusion, and although more or less are concepts also foreign
T3:20.8  first to respond to such situations in a new way, but all situations  within the house of illusion call for the same response, the response
T3:20.12  longer return to the house of illusion, not even to cause explosions  within it. You have stepped out of this house and are called not to
T3:20.14  you from your peace, you must remind yourself that it is only from  within the Peace of God that your wholeheartedness and our unity is
T3:20.15  to return to the ways of old. They do not work! To minister to those  within the house of illusion is to offer the temporary to the
T3:20.16  the language of your mind that will be responded to. It is the love  within your heart that will sound the call. And when it is heard, and
T3:21.13  beliefs are subject to change, hold yourself to behaviors that fall  within the parameters of your belief system. You think of these
T3:21.15  you live in and the “type” of person you feel you have chosen to be  within that world. Whether you have given thought to the
T3:21.15  that of all other human beings. And what's more, your experiences  within that world are also different than the experiences of all
T3:22.1  you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts put forth  within this Course, precepts that say that the internal affects the
T3:22.4  of who you are, the seeds of who you are, are planted there, right  within the self you have always been. There has always been within
T3:22.4  right within the self you have always been. There has always been  within you, however, a creative tension between accepting who you are
T3:22.9  that will give an outlet for the excitement that has been building  within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the
T3:22.16  with the vision of creation, creating the personal self anew, seeing  within it all that will serve the new, and only what will serve the
T4:1.1  and that others do not. It will continue the view from  within the embrace, an embrace and a view that is inclusive of all.
T4:1.12 As was said  within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” even the house of illusion
T4:1.12  Treatise on the Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held  within the embrace of love, of God, of the truth. Does this sound
T4:1.14  different about this time, the capabilities of those existing  within it. It must be your science or technology, your advanced
T4:1.15  create the new world is an understanding of creation and your role  within it, both as Creators and Created.
T4:1.16 As was said  within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” all notions of blame must
T4:1.16  exists in the present. This is the same as saying the truth exists  within you. It is in this way that time is not real and will no
T4:1.23 While the state of the world and the people  within it may not outwardly seem much changed from the world of your
T4:1.24  to maturity have been born into the time of Christ, and do not fit  within the time or the consciousness of the Holy Spirit.
T4:1.25  numbing activities in order to block it out, having chosen to die  within the state of consciousness in which they have lived. Others do
T4:2.2  my statements: where once you turned outward in your seeking and saw  within what you perceived without, now you turn inward and reflect
T4:2.2  perceived without, now you turn inward and reflect what you discover  within outward. What you discover within is in a way that what you
T4:2.2  and reflect what you discover within outward. What you discover  within is in a way that what you perceive without is not.
T4:2.7  aware of their true nature does not mean that it does not exist  within them. You are no more accomplished than anyone has been or is
T4:2.16  the power of cause and its effect. This is the power you now have  within you, the power to observe the truth rather than illusion. This
T4:2.21  day is a creation and holy too. Not one day is meant to be lived  within a struggle with what it brings. The power to observe what is
T4:2.23  evident in the pattern of your thinking. We have spoken of this  within the text of A Course of Love as your inability to realize the
T4:2.25  to grow in you, you will learn the lessons that are being spoken of  within this Treatise.
T4:2.27 Let this idea gestate a moment  within you and reveal to you the truth of which it speaks. The
T4:3.5  continually reacting to fear. While the original intent remained  within you and caused you to attempt to express a Self of love
T4:3.7  not know God. You could not know God because you judged God from  within the nature of fear, believing it to be your natural state.
T4:3.10  will allow you to see the nature of the world and all that exists  within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the personal
T4:3.10  will allow you to elevate the personal self to its rightful place  within the nature of a world of love.
T4:4.1 Everywhere  within your world you see the pattern of life-everlasting. Where
T4:4.2  decline. This is the pattern of creation taken to extremes. Inherent  within the extreme is the balance. Even in the biblical description
T4:4.2  balanced with rest is the pattern that has been taken to extremes  within your world. You think of birth as creation and death as rest.
T4:4.5  idea, an idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent  within the idea of inheritance was an idea of passing as well as an
T4:4.7  an idea consistent with that of creation. There is no discontinuity  within creation. Like begets like. Life begets life. Thus is revealed
T4:4.9  of as the time of fullness. It is the time during which you have  within your awareness the ability to come into your time of fullness
T4:5.2  again be in harmony with creation. So that you can express yourself  within the relationship of unity that is the whole of the choir and
T4:5.4  is known as God. Since you are clearly alive, this Energy exists  within you as it exists in all else that lives. It is one Energy
T4:5.5  spark of the energy that has created a living universe existing  within you and uniting you to all that has been created. You are the
T4:5.5  in you. This energy is the form and content of the embrace. It is  within you and It surrounds and It encompasses you. It is you and all
T4:5.5  unto what the water of the ocean is to the living matter that exists  within it. The living matter that exists within the ocean has no need
T4:5.5  living matter that exists within it. The living matter that exists  within the ocean has no need to search for God. It lives in God. So
T4:7.3  who consider themselves pragmatists, will hold this understanding  within their grasp. Many will be surprised by experiences of unity
T4:7.4 Those who sustain Christ-consciousness will abide  within it free of judgment. They will not seek to create their
T4:7.4  of a perfect world and to force it upon others, but will abide  within the perfect world that is in the vision of
T4:7.5  a heart and mind joined in unity, your body too will exist or abide  within this natural state. It cannot help to, as it, just like your
T4:8.2  mean is that you are only now reaching a stage wherein you can know,  within your inner being, that this is the truth. I say this because
T4:8.2  I am not saying that you did not. I am saying that a choice was made  within the one mind, the one heart, and that this was your choice as
T4:8.7  learns to do these things, and that these things were loving acts  within a loving universe, a love-filled learning process. A learning
T4:10.5  happens in the present moment. Studying takes up residence  within the student; there to be mulled over, committed to memory,
T4:12.4  No matter where you are, no matter what concerns you still hold  within your heart, no matter what questions are emanating from your
T4:12.9  have been religious, abandon not your churches, for you will find  within them now, direct experiences of sharing. If you have found
T4:12.11  an example that relates to the state of rebellion that was discussed  within the text of this Treatise.
T4:12.12  and scholar who spoke of how he knew, as soon as he was content  within the life of the monastery, that it was time to once again move
T4:12.16  part of the nature of the human experience by becoming so consistent  within you that it came, through the passing down of the human
T4:12.20  no cause for fear. To dwell in fear will end your ability to dwell  within the love that is Christ-consciousness. As there is no longer
T4:12.24 You now exist  within a shared consciousness. The pattern of a shared consciousness
T4:12.24  is one of sharing in unity and relationship. There is no pattern  within it for learning (which is individual), for individual gain, or
T4:12.28  What this means will be revealed to you and shared by all who abide  within Christ-consciousness because you abide in a consciousness of
T4:12.31  fully come to awareness of all they have inherited and all it is  within their power to create.
D:1.8  Even with the ego gone, the personal self can continue to move about  within the world, a faceless and nameless entity, a being without an
D:1.10  ego is gone but the true Self has not been allowed as yet to dwell  within the personal self, thus elevating the personal self. You have
D:1.12  here. We go beyond what can be symbolized to what can only be known  within. It is to this state of grace that I call you now, today: The
D:1.13  you open your heart and allow your true identity to be what is, even  within your form. You are in grace and union with the Source and
D:1.14  Now I remember who I Am. Now I go forth To live as who I Am  within the world To make cause and effect as one, and Union with the
D:2.1  actions with which you have led your life thus far. You were told  within A Course of Love that willingness was all that was necessary
D:2.1  and let it return you to your true identity. Those of you who found  within this willingness an ability to receive and left behind your
D:2.2  and the revelations that will show you how to live as who you are  within the world—and you are asked to refuse to accept who you are
D:2.2  accept who you are not and the ways of life that allowed you to live  within the world as a false self.
D:2.14 Many of you have believed that the more details of life you have  within your control, the more likely you are to control outcome.
D:2.16  of your attempts to externalize patterns. Patterns are contained  within. Looking at the patterns you have attempted to externalize can
D:2.19  your desire to understand the world around you rather than the world  within you. If you were to understand the world within, you would
D:2.19  than the world within you. If you were to understand the world  within, you would need no systems to understand or manage the world
D:2.21  you see rather than a pattern of changing what you see by looking  within.
D:2.22  Within is where the real world and all your brothers and sisters
D:2.22  and sisters exist in the unity of Christ-consciousness. Change  within effects change without, not the other way around! Within is
D:2.22  Change within effects change without, not the other way around!  Within is where you look to your own heart, rather than to any other
D:2.22  heart, rather than to any other authority, for advice or guidance.  Within is where you find the knowing of Christ-consciousness, the
D:2.22  the knowing of Christ-consciousness, the consciousness of unity.  Within is where you find the power of creation, the power to create
D:2.22  of creation, the power to create the patterns of the new. Looking  within is not an attempt to find the answers of the personal self of
D:2.22  separated self who depended on learned wisdom for answers. Looking  within is turning to the real Self and the consciousness shared by
D:3.2  It is not of the past or the future but of the eternal now. It is  within you as we speak, the tone and timbre of this dialogue.
D:3.5 As the wholehearted, you have it  within your ability to do what those who live their lives with a
D:3.5  who live their lives with a split mind could never do. You have it  within your ability to mend the rift of duality, a state that was
D:3.8  of the idea of giving and receiving as one that was introduced  within A Course of Love and taught quite thoroughly in “A Treatise on
D:3.8  new ideas, however, but rather ideas of who you truly are birthed  within the self of form so that the Self and the elevated Self of
D:3.12  that exists apart from form. Giving and receiving are thus one  within the shared consciousness of unity, which is the same as saying
D:3.17  “other” than your Self rather than seeking the awareness that exists  within.
D:3.19  expressions do not make different. These differences were spoken of  within this Course as unique expressions of the selfsame love that
D:3.21  the truth of giving and receiving being one. This awareness exists  within you and you cannot any longer claim to be unaware of it
D:3.23  All—all—that you need in order to create the new is available  within you. The power of the universe is given and received
D:4.9  the result of your attempts to externalize the patterns contained  within. Patterns are both of learning and of design.
D:4.20  its old structure or the false security you came to feel at times  within it. Do not look for a new structure with barred windows and
D:4.21  in it, just as you would have had you literally spent your life  within a prison's walls. Breathe the sweet air of freedom. Be aware
D:4.29  to your Self, now your life must be returned to where it fits  within the divine design, to where it is a life of meaning and
D:5.1  Within this Course your “imitation” of creation was often spoken of.
D:5.4 The world without was created as a true representation of the world  within, and as you become aware of the truth represented in all that
D:5.21  inconsistent with your being, while still in a form that exists  within a form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your
D:5.21  with your being, while still in a form that exists within a form,  within a world that seems inconsistent with your being. You will
D:6.1  Within the text of the coursework provided you heard many ideas that
D:6.2 One of the methods employed by your teacher  within the text of your coursework was that of comparison, a method
D:7.2 You were told  within this Course that what you learn in unity is shared. This
D:7.3 You were also told  within this Course that because you were learning in separation,
D:7.28  this is your territory, it is a shared territory and a territory  within the territory of planet Earth.
D:7.29  live and work nearby. This territory of conscious awareness exists  within the larger consciousness of unity, just as the territory of
D:7.29  consciousness of unity, just as the territory of your body exists  within the larger territory of the planet Earth. We will begin here,
D:8.1 Continuing to imagine your body as the dot  within the circle, I ask you to imagine now being able to take a step
D:9.5  a pattern of the separated and thus learning self. When it was said  within this Course that you are an idea of God, and when ideas were
D:9.12 Like the natural abilities you discovered existed  within you prior to the time of learning, ideas are also discoveries
D:9.12  cause for talent, but what is heredity but that which already exists  within you? So too is it with an idea. An idea already exists within
D:9.12  exists within you? So too is it with an idea. An idea already exists  within you, but is awaiting its birth through you.
D:11.5  has lit a bonfire in your heart and begun a stampede of thoughts  within your mind. Again, is this not what we spoke of in the
D:11.10 These answers lie  within you, at the heart or center of your Self, as do all answers.
D:11.10  Because you will know and fully accept that the answers lie  within.
D:11.12 The giving and receiving of these words will never make sense  within the terms of the world you have always known. No explanation
D:11.13  of the nature of who you are if you but let this idea dwell  within you and take up residence in your heart. We are the sacred
D:11.14 In other words, the elevated Self of form does not remain contained  within the dot of the body but draws its sustenance from the larger
D:12.1  your mind and are themselves the product of your brain, which lies  within your body. Since it is believed that a cessation of brain
D:12.1  thought, you accept this as proof that your thoughts originate from  within your brain.
D:12.4  brain, they do not, nor did the words of this Course. You were told  within this Course and you are reminded now that these words enter
D:12.13  as it may sound, that this access and entryway already exists  within you, and that you have already benefited from moments of
D:12.16  truth, another's reaction to this truth, or simple doubt that arose  within your thinking, but regardless of this fading of your
D:12.16  but regardless of this fading of your certainty, you still carry  within you the moment of realization—the moment in which the truth
D:13.2  know others to be. There are two issues of great import contained  within this statement, and we will explore each separately.
D:13.4  is known to you in an instant through the new means available to you  within the state of unity will still seem, at times, to need to be
D:13.4  they came to know, with what was received in a “ray of light” from  within the state of unity.
D:14.1  words, consistent with the action and the adventure of discovery  within the world around you.
D:14.2 Here it will be helpful to keep in mind the idea of “as  within, so without.” We are not leaving the Self to explore, because
D:14.4  me remind you again of your invulnerability and the cautions given  within this Course concerning testing this invulnerability. In a
D:14.11  to increase, to become. It is, for us, about bringing “out” what is  within. As you become aware “within” your Self, you enable the
D:14.11  your Self, you enable the expansion of awareness into the world. As  within, so without. An explorer seeking a new continent to “discover”
D:14.15  must precede creation of the new world. For as it has been said: As  within, so without.
D:15.12  I return you to the lesson on “pass through” which was contained  within this Course. The Course sought to teach you to develop a
D:15.21  that allow your acceptance and discovery of all that is available  within unity, or Christ-consciousness, will no longer be needed. This
D:16.5 The unified principles of creation, once unified  within each of us, bring light to each of us; they bring the ability
D:16.6 You were told  within this Course that being is as love is. Here you are told that
D:16.13  precede the creation of the new world. This is what is meant by “as  within, so without.” Only a new you can create a new world. The new
D:16.18  thinking that you are “acting” as if you have changed, while even  within your new actions you see archetypes of the previously known
D:17.10 Hope, as was said  within this Course, is a condition of the initiate. You have now
D:17.12  the power that A Course of Love came to return to you. You were told  within this Course that wholehearted desire for union would return
D:17.25  parables, or stories, has ended. This is why you have been told: “As  within, so without.” This is why you have been taken to the top of
D:Day1.11  power is of God, whether it be the power of granting life to grow  within the womb, or the power of giving new life to a limb withered
D:Day1.18  birth into what is beyond form. Adam and Eve represent what occurred  within you at the beginning of the story of your creation. I
D:Day1.18  beginning of the story of your creation. I represent what occurred  within you recently, the story of your rebirth through this Course.
D:Day1.19 The story of Adam and Eve, and the story of Jesus, are  within you. As within, so without. In each of you is Adam and Eve
D:Day1.19 The story of Adam and Eve, and the story of Jesus, are within you. As  within, so without. In each of you is Adam and Eve represented in
D:Day1.21 This fulfillment of scripture has now occurred  within you. When it occurred within me, it occurred within all. It
D:Day1.21  of scripture has now occurred within you. When it occurred  within me, it occurred within all. It became part of the continuing
D:Day1.21  has now occurred within you. When it occurred within me, it occurred  within all. It became part of the continuing story of creation, of
D:Day1.21  part of the continuing story of creation, of creation acted out  within the created.
D:Day1.24  return to paradise, to your true Self and your true home, is written  within you. It only needs to be lived to become real. You must accept
D:Day2.2  which you would desire peace, memories of your life continue to play  within your mind, often still bringing you sadness and regrets.
D:Day2.6  mountain peak, you have discovered a lightness of being, and yet  within it is this stone of regret. You continue to have a nagging
D:Day2.18 As was said  within this Course, my life is the example life. The way in which I
D:Day3.12  then that” world. An idea of a world in which the beliefs set forth  within this Course are neither seen nor lived by.
D:Day3.18 These are those who are resented most  within your world. And yet envied. This resentment and envy fills you
D:Day3.26  things. They were learned, to the degree that you could learn them  within the teachings of A Course of Love. But beyond learning is
D:Day3.36  me not as an intermediary. It is only in relationship with the God  within that the way will become clear.
D:Day3.41  of a responsive relationship with unity that does not exist only  within the mind of the wholehearted.
D:Day3.47  to be the reality of physical form and of what you have or have not  within the confines of that form. This would be like still seeing the
D:Day3.50  is not without value. You may have many good and even inspired ideas  within this time. You may feel as if you are on the right track, that
D:Day3.59 Like all that was taught  within this Course, this is a matter of all or nothing. You cannot
D:Day4.5  of the thought system of the ego, learning has been with you and  within you. Although the divine design of the time of learning is
D:Day4.9  insanity of the world and of your anger with the way things “are”  within the world. This is an anger that stems from lack of choice.
D:Day4.20  to live by the rules it would have them obey. Much progress was made  within these institutions, but also much misleading was done.
D:Day4.25  how many of the truths I expressed were still available to you, even  within your religious institutions. You feel, perhaps, that you did
D:Day4.28  Within you is the access that you seek, just as within you is the
D:Day4.28 Within you is the access that you seek, just as  within you is the Kingdom of Heaven.
D:Day4.30  its training. Thus, a major key to your discovery of all that exists  within you in the state of unity, is an end to thinking as you know
D:Day4.32 Access simply exists  within your natural state, much like breathing is simply a fact of
D:Day4.36  the while realizing that its fulfillment lies already accomplished  within, in the access that lies within.
D:Day4.36  lies already accomplished within, in the access that lies  within.
D:Day4.43  Self of form? Do you want to know this place of access and carry it  within you, or do you only wish the opportunity to revisit it when
D:Day4.51  separation was the cause, but separation into form, had it occurred  within the realization of continuing relationship, would not have
D:Day4.57  the acknowledgments of the accomplishment that has always existed  within you and all of your brothers and sisters.
D:Day5.7 Unity and Love—as we have  within this work shown them to be—are the same.
D:Day5.13  You thus have long known the truth of giving and receiving as one  within your own heart. You might think of access in the same way—as
D:Day6.7  to see these words as lyrics. At some point after this gestation  within the mind and heart, the artist puts pen to paper, or picks up
D:Day6.11  developed the creative relationship that is union. You are in and  within the movement of the creative process where there is no
D:Day6.12  now from who you will be when you reach completion! You are in and  within the relationship of creation in which created and creator
D:Day6.17  We are having our dialogue on the holy mountain while you remain  within your life for the very purpose of not allowing this to happen.
D:Day6.19  are currently experiencing is the only elevation you would want. As  within, so without is the operative phrase here. It is not the other
D:Day6.19  It is only the relationship we are developing in this elevated place  within that will bring to your full realization and manifestation
D:Day6.20  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 place. It
D:Day6.21  to look for, they would find it. It is being created to exist both  within the body and beyond the body. It is, in truth, the portal of
D:Day7.7  in a state of transformation, so too is it. Again I remind you, as  within, so without. As you let go of time's hold on you, it will let
D:Day7.16 When your natural state is fully returned to you and sustained  within Christ-consciousness, the conditions of the time of
D:Day7.18  acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning, arise from  within. Life has always existed within the conditions of the time of
D:Day7.18  of the time of learning, arise from within. Life has always existed  within the conditions of the time of acceptance. The conditions of
D:Day7.18  time of learning were but imposed conditions that also arose from  within.
D:Day7.19  that created the need for learning and the imposition, from  within, of the conditions of the time of learning.
D:Day8.8  you want to be but of the way you are now. There will be many things  within your life that will take some time to change, but many others
D:Day8.13  contempt for the actions of others, but to accept who you are  within the relationship of that present moment.
D:Day9.11  image is an idol. It is symbolic rather than real. It has form only  within your mind and has no substance. To work toward, or to have as
D:Day9.12  time of learning. It became an image in your mind, and maybe even  within your heart, through the process of learning. It arose from the
D:Day9.13  if you worked hard enough you would achieve a position of status  within your profession or material wealth, you have believed that if
D:Day9.21  to be seen as such and are often made into images such as these only  within the minds of those who would seek to follow their teachings.
D:Day10.17  find in accepting reliance on your Self is what you have “learned”  within this Course. As you “learned” to remove the ego and deny the
D:Day10.22  the beginning of A Course of Love that the answers that you seek lie  within, and that their source is your own true identity. You have
D:Day10.26  in short, of the feelings you would think would have no place  within the ideal self or the elevated Self of form.
D:Day10.33  are in truth. This cannot be done from without but must be done from  within. It is the transformation that is caused within that will
D:Day10.33  must be done from within. It is the transformation that is caused  within that will affect the world without.
D:Day10.37  will transform them along with you. You are means and end. It is  within your power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that
D:Day10.37  end. It is within your power to be saviors of the world. It is from  within that your power will save the world.
D:Day11.3  of the self of form is nothing but the recognition of the One Self  within the Self.
D:Day11.4 The One Self exists  within the many in order to know Its Self through sharing in union
D:Day12.2  the air around you being visible and your form an invisible space  within the visible surroundings. This is the reality of
D:Day12.8  but feels no hurt nor lessening of spirit by becoming invisible  within the space. The solidity of the perceiver is, in this manner,
D:Day13.6  complexity of form, the awesome majesty of nature, all are visible  within the One Self because of the invisibility of the one
D:Day13.6  the loveless self. As long as the void of the loveless self exists  within the spacious Self, they exist in harmony. It is only in
D:Day13.6  Spacious self that disharmony occurs. Thus holding the loveless self  within the spacious Self of love is the answer to the question of
D:Day13.7  you would fear, such as the suffering self. A suffering self, held  within the spacious Self, exists in harmony with the spacious Self.
D:Day13.7  from the spacious Self create disharmony. It is only by this holding  within that the loveless self and the suffering self are rendered
D:Day13.7  ineffective. It is only in this way that you realize that all exist  within. It is only in this way that you become completely fearless
D:Day14.2  and most often a rejection rather than an extension of what is  within. Thus, sickness is a rejection of feelings. All that causes
D:Day14.4  those of the many as well. It is by holding all feelings of others  within the spacious Self, by not forgetting that the one and the many
D:Day14.4  that the feelings of “others” are accepted as one's own and held  within the spaciousness of the One Self, the whole Self.
D:Day14.6  now given the task of claiming your power as your own. All that is  within your power is within your power. Your power is the power of
D:Day14.6  of claiming your power as your own. All that is within your power is  within your power. Your power is the power of the many and the one
D:Day14.6  power is the power of the many and the one that exist in wholeness  within the spacious Self.
D:Day14.7  that you cannot escape, whatever remains that was brought to a stop  within you must pass through for the self to be the fully invisible
D:Day14.7  “holding pattern” to return to later, is the opposite of the holding  within you are asked to do now because those things that were held in
D:Day14.7  They were “shelved” like museum pieces and collected solidity  within you. Like stones thrown into a clear pool, they made ripples
D:Day14.9  “apart” that occurred in separation. What the spacious Self holds  within is the relationship of all to all. Relationship is the
D:Day14.10  your realization of your invisibility and spaciousness, do you look  within and see the stones that settled in your clear pools. They are
D:Day14.10  is invisibility. We are no longer collectors but gatherers. We hold  within only what is real and in our realization of the reality of
D:Day14.14 Entering the dialogue is the means of sustaining the one voice  within the many, the means of sharing your access to unity, the
D:Day15.4 How can the invisible be observed? From  within Christ-consciousness, you begin to be able to know and to make
D:Day15.13  Do not be too hard on yourself now, for as has been said, the stones  within your pools are like flecks of sands within the ocean. Observe
D:Day15.13  has been said, the stones within your pools are like flecks of sands  within the ocean. Observe these stones with neutrality and see if
D:Day15.13  is caused by fear. Examine what you fear. Is it really the stones  within your pool, or is it the challenge of moving with the current
D:Day15.16  releases them from judgment and any notion that may have remained  within them that Christ-consciousness is a form of “group think.”
D:Day15.23  in the realization that what you come to know has always existed  within you in the realm of the unknown that also exists within you.
D:Day15.23  existed within you in the realm of the unknown that also exists  within you.
D:Day16.2  exists only in consciousness, it simply exists. It is simply “there”  within consciousness. All that you “know” because you have felt it,
D:Day16.4  physical were made separate from the self and yet were maintained  within the body, thus interrupting the body's natural means of
D:Day16.6  not of the physical world—it returns to its non-physical nature  within the spacious Self. Thus it was not escaped but reintegrated
D:Day16.10  the present moment. When you remain in the present moment you remain  within Christ-consciousness where all that is exists in harmony. To
D:Day16.10  in harmony. To embrace is the opposite of to escape. To hold all  within yourself in the embrace of love is the opposite of holding
D:Day16.13  eyes upon what you have “formed” an opinion about. What you hold  within the embrace is held in love and so exists along with you in
D:Day17.2  or in other words, the All of All given an identity. God holds you  within Himself. Christ is held within you as the center or heart of
D:Day17.2  All given an identity. God holds you within Himself. Christ is held  within you as the center or heart of yourself—as your identity and

D:Day18.2  As within, so without. Mary represents the relationship that occurs  within, Jesus the relationship that occurs with the world. So do each
D:Day18.2  Thus, God represents the world without. Christ-consciousness is God  within you, your particular manifestation of God and relationship
D:Day18.2  your particular manifestation of God and relationship with the God  within.
D:Day18.4  way for those who desire to bring expression to a calling they feel  within to “do” something. It is the way for those whose fulfillment
D:Day18.5  necessity of what can be given only through expression of what is  within them. They realize that what is needed now is needed in order
D:Day18.5  is needed in order to renew or resurrect the world and all who abide  within it.
D:Day18.10  through relationship. Neither is exclusive. Both are contained  within the other. But the way of discovery and demonstration is
D:Day18.11  through your interaction with the Christ-consciousness that abides  within you. One way of doing this is through individuation and
D:Day19.1  to something, and something important, but it does not have a form  within your mind and so you see not how it can become manifest in the
D:Day19.1  live as who they are in the world and accomplish certain functions  within the world. You perhaps feel function-less and purposeless at
D:Day19.5 The ultimate accomplishment is living as who you are  within the world. But in what kind of world? This is the catch that
D:Day19.5  of purposelessness in those who are content to live as who they are  within the world. Until they realize the power of reflection, they
D:Day19.6 The answer lies in the simple statement of as  within, so without. By living as who you are in the world, you create
D:Day19.7  a function of preparing one or many for the change that must occur  within. The function of those called to the way of Jesus is to call
D:Day19.8  the way of Mary and the way of Jesus demonstrate the truth of as  within, so without and the relationship between the inner and outer
D:Day19.13  a way previously unknown, and as all forerunners do, anchor that way  within consciousness by holding open this door to creation. They, in
D:Day20.2  realizing that this eagerness symbolizes a true ending—an ending  within you and within your reality—an ending within your conscious
D:Day20.2  this eagerness symbolizes a true ending—an ending within you and  within your reality—an ending within your conscious awareness. A
D:Day20.2  ending—an ending within you and within your reality—an ending  within your conscious awareness. A true end of learning.
D:Day20.4  words have been put on the feelings and remembrances that you have  within your minds and hearts and have been sharing in this dialogue.
D:Day21.2 This was true even  within the pattern of learning you have been so familiar with, for in
D:Day21.7  guidance, or information that is needed in each moment is available  within each moment and that the interaction, rather than being one of
D:Day21.7  or even applied, has given way to an interaction that begins  within and extends outward.
D:Day21.9  reliance upon yourself has been expressed as a dialogue taking place  within Christ-consciousness, the consciousness you share in union and
D:Day22.8 This awareness of union with God is what is now  within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of union with God
D:Day23.2  what you have been given, and you do carry what you have received  within you.
D:Day23.4  much as a woman surrenders her body to the growth of a child  within. This is a willing but not an active surrender. It is a
D:Day23.5  to your own will. It requires full acknowledgment that you hold  within yourself a will to know and to make known. This will is divine
D:Day23.5  will is divine will, your will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive  within you. All that is required is that you carry it with awareness,
D:Day24.3  is that which exists. It exists as the power and energy, the spirit  within you. It does not await. It simply is. It can remain as the
D:Day24.6 To attempt to remain  within the cocoon of the body, to attempt to contain the spirit
D:Day24.6  within the cocoon of the body, to attempt to contain the spirit  within that cocoon, is to attempt the impossible. It is the nature of
D:Day24.6  It is the nature of spirit to become. Its wings poke and prod from  within as its potential is triggered. Only with release from its
D:Day24.9  of its birth through an activated will, a will that is also carried  within you. This merging of will and potential is the birth of your
D:Day25.2 You need not be content  within this stillness, however. As it envelopes you, there is a part
D:Day26.7  into the known, this moment when the unknown becomes the known  within the Self, is the birth of creation. It is the culmination of
D:Day27.1  in terms of taking hold of the rest of your life, of keeping it  within your understanding, within your ability to come to know,
D:Day27.1  of the rest of your life, of keeping it within your understanding,  within your ability to come to know, within your own grasp of it. You
D:Day27.1  it within your understanding, within your ability to come to know,  within your own grasp of it. You have been asked to let go of much,
D:Day27.2  believed you were capable of. This certainty is beginning to form  within you but will not come into its fullness except through
D:Day27.2  experience. This certainty has only been able to begin to form  within you because you have agreed to this mountain top experience
D:Day27.6  been both human and spirit, both form and content. Now you contain  within you the ability to combine both levels of being through the
D:Day27.7 Now you are asked to apprehend—to understand, and to hold  within your conscious mind—this situation that you find yourself
D:Day27.13  The variability of how you experience who you are is also a constant  within the aspect of separation. Merge the two, however, into one
D:Day27.14  We practice in order to move toward an experience of variability  within wholeness rather than within separation. It can be done.
D:Day27.14  toward an experience of variability within wholeness rather than  within separation. It can be done.
D:Day27.15  The elevated Self of form will be the expression of new life lived  within the constant of wholeness but continuing to experience the
D:Day27.16  of the separate self, have always been variables that exist  within the constant of wholeness. What you have experienced, however,
D:Day28.6  They may have chosen one career, for instance, and made choices  within that career path, but never really consider a different career
D:Day28.8  of being able to experience the variability of separation from  within the state of wholeness is what is new.
D:Day28.17 Thought patterns exist  within thought systems that have been externalized and are part of
D:Day28.17  as are all that you have made, on the externalization of what is  within. At the same time however, what is within has been based upon
D:Day28.17  externalization of what is within. At the same time however, what is  within has been based upon what was previously externalized. This is
D:Day28.18 This change, this transformation, can only take place  within time because only within time is the experience of separation
D:Day28.18  this transformation, can only take place within time because only  within time is the experience of separation possible, and experience
D:Day28.22  will cause the “shift of the ages,” the experience of variability  within wholeness.
D:Day28.24  we have talked about will begin to fit together. A whole will form  within your mind much as if you have been following a thread and now
D:Day28.26  intertwine the two experiences that you are simultaneously holding  within your conscious awareness.
D:Day29.1  one level of experience, you will be able to experience life from  within the reality of wholeness rather than from within the reality
D:Day29.1  life from within the reality of wholeness rather than from  within the reality of separation.
D:Day29.5 Your access to union, so newly discovered and yet always existing  within you, has been a part of the process that has allowed you
D:Day31.3  you or happen separately from you. It has happened and is happening  within you. You are the experience and the experiencer, the knower
D:Day31.7  By knowing the One in the many, experience can be achieved  within wholeness.
D:Day31.8 The beginning of this knowing occurs  within, with the knowing, or experiencing, of the One within the
D:Day31.8  knowing occurs within, with the knowing, or experiencing, of the One  within the individuated Self. Notice the link here of knowing and
D:Day31.8  to know the Self as creator, or in other words, to know the One Self  within the individuated Self. To know the One Self within the
D:Day31.8  know the One Self within the individuated Self. To know the One Self  within the individuated Self is to join the two. The two are thus
D:Day32.8 Another idea of God  within the concept of a Creator God is of God existing in all of what
D:Day32.8  God is of God existing in all of what has been created. God is,  within this concept, seen as the spirit within all that lives and
D:Day32.8  has been created. God is, within this concept, seen as the spirit  within all that lives and also seen as an overriding spirit, a force,
D:Day32.8  as an overriding spirit, a force, a unifying factor. God is closer,  within this idea, to being a participatory being, but still falls
D:Day32.9  and space in a dimension we know not? Does He live as the spirit  within us, and as such have some small role, perhaps akin to that of
D:Day32.16 God has also been referred to  within this work as relationship itself. Let us consider this idea
D:Day33.1  is to embrace an idea laden with conflict. The power of God exists  within everyone because all are one in being with God. And yet this
D:Day33.2  here, that situations and events are relationships too—lies  within your own being. Being in relationship. This is what you are
D:Day33.3 All relationship is holy because it is  within relationship that being is found and known and interacted
D:Day33.13  in being with each and every one of us. Every single individual has  within them the power to affect, change, or recreate the world. Every
D:Day33.13  which they realize their power. A baby realizes the power of its cry  within moments of being born. Many a teenager develops full
D:Day33.15 But again, despite that we each hold the power of creation  within us, it is only in relationship that it is expressed and that
D:Day35.6  and the view of wholeness we have achieved here. You will carry it  within you, and when you feel not its power, you will be able to call
D:Day35.7  elemental and fundamental aspects of being human, while carrying  within you a very elemental and fundamental idea—the idea that you
D:Day35.9  No tools are needed. All that is needed is that you carry them  within you in the way we have previously spoken of carrying. Carry
D:Day35.15  in harmony, the experience and the expression of the one in, and  within, the many.
D:Day35.21  be free of choice. Creation in unity and relationship is creation  within the embrace of the All of All. How can you choose when what
D:Day36.2  You made choices concerning how you would live your life from  within the realm of what you considered possible. You did so
D:Day36.9  true realization that giving and receiving are one and that both are  within your power. This is starting over with the realization that
D:Day36.13  courage, responded with nobility or doubt, boldness or timidity, all  within a frame of thought and feeling that has felt completely real
D:Day37.10  Jesus was being God and was called Jesus Christ because he lived  within Christ-consciousness, or the compassionate consciousness that
D:Day37.15  being said that you are being God? That you have been being God even  within the limited parameters of life as you have known it?
D:Day38.8  of belonging—of carrying, or holding relationship and union  within one's own Self. This has been called the tension of opposites,
D:Day38.8  union and relationship. These opposites, like all others, are held  within the embrace of love and belonging.
D:Day38.9  That you own it. That you possess it. That you hold it and carry it  within your own Self. That you make it yours. As you make me yours
D:Day39.10  beings and that you hold this link, through relationship with me,  within yourself. Christ is direct relationship with me.
D:Day39.11  and difficult, but it is simple. It is as simple as relationship is  within your everyday life. You may not think that relationship within
D:Day39.11  is within your everyday life. You may not think that relationship  within everyday life is simple, but you also know it as a constant.
D:Day39.38  who I Am while at the same time, holding, or carrying, the mystery  within you. That mystery is the tension of opposites. It is time and
D:Day39.42  the expansion that has taken place under the tutelage of Jesus,  within the dialogue with Christ-consciousness, within the recesses of
D:Day39.42  tutelage of Jesus, within the dialogue with Christ-consciousness,  within the recesses of your heart where your relationship with love
D:Day39.43  another's hand, you hold my own, and that I am with you as well as  within you. Realize that I love all that you are, and that as you
D:Day39.43  hang your head in weariness, howl with laughter, I am with you and  within you.
D:Day39.45  without also expecting nothing. Expect to know that you hold both  within yourself and that you hold me as I hold you.
D:Day40.3  I am the anchor that holds all that has taken on attributes  within the embrace of the attributelessness of love. This is why my
D:Day40.5  do anything. It just is, and its isness is what I hold, or anchor  within myself, and that which Christ bridges through relationship.
D:Day40.9  your longing for return. This will be a great power that you carry  within you as you return to love and to level ground as who I Am
D:Day40.11  and said I am the anchor that holds all that has taken on attributes  within the embrace of the attributelessness of love. This is why my
D:Day40.22  But because you exist as an extension of love, you have always held  within you the Christ, who is the relationship with love. This is why

E.9  what I am telling you is true, for as long as you carry this knowing  within yourself, this is how long the eternity of being will be for

W1:162.2  creation is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these  words will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no illusion that the
W1:162.3 Holy indeed is he who makes these  words his own—arising with them in his mind, recalling them
W1:162.3  he gives the world what he receives each time he practices the  words of truth.

W1:168.6  because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the  words He gave to us through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love:
W1:169.5  We say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge  words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them and no part of
W1:169.9  to do, for those in time can speak of things beyond and listen to  words which explain what is to come is past already. Yet what meaning
W1:169.9  explain what is to come is past already. Yet what meaning can the  words convey to those who count the hours still and rise and work and
W1:R5.2  be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no  words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word and make it
W1:R5.11  then your gift to me. For this alone I need—that you will hear the  words I speak and give them to the world. You are my voice, my eyes,
W1:R5.14  And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same  words upon our lips to greet another day. No thought that we review
W1:R5.14  thus when we have finished this review, we will have recognized the  words we speak are true.
W1:R5.15 Yet are the  words but aids and to be used, except at the beginning and the end of
W1:R5.15  and recognize that it is only here conviction lies. We use the  words, and try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning,
W1:I2.2  goal. We are attempting now to lift these blocks, however briefly.  Words alone cannot convey the sense of liberation which their lifting
W1:I2.2  see speaks for itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that  words become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you want

W1:185.1 To say these words is nothing. But to mean these  words is everything. If you could but mean them for just an instant,
W1:185.2 No one can mean these  words and not be healed. He cannot play with dreams nor think he is
W1:185.2  all he wants, and that is all he will receive. Many have said these  words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to look upon the
W1:185.2  The world would be completely changed should any two agree these  words express the only thing they want.
W1:185.5  the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these  words who wants illusions and who therefore seeks the means which
W1:185.7  today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the  words we say. We want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These
W1:185.7  words we say. We want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These  words do not request another dream be given us. They do not ask for
W1:185.7  one which can succeed where all the rest have failed. To mean these  words acknowledges illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in
W1:185.8  you cherish still. What do you ask for in your heart? Forget the  words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you believe
W1:186.5  depends on you, be sure that it is so. The arrogant must cling to  words, afraid to go beyond them to experience which might affront
W1:193.9 These are the  words the Holy Spirit speaks in all your tribulations, all your pain,
W1:193.9  all your pain, all suffering regardless of its forms. These are the  words with which temptation ends and guilt, abandoned, is revered no
W1:193.9  ends and guilt, abandoned, is revered no more. These are the  words which end the dream of sin and rid the mind of fear. These are
W1:193.9  which end the dream of sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the  words by which salvation comes to all the world.
W1:193.10 Shall we not learn to say these  words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and death
W1:193.10  becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these  words when we have understood their power to release all minds from
W1:193.10  understood their power to release all minds from bondage? These are  words which give you power over all events which seem to have been

W2:I.10  we need only call to God and all temptations disappear. Instead of  words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we need but call

T3:11.3  of Truth as their meaning there is the same. These words, like the  words House of Truth represent an awareness of a new reality, a new

T3:13.9 As you say these  words you will realize that you do believe in them. You believe, but
T3:13.9  in them. You believe, but you cannot imagine the truth of these  words really being represented in the life you live here. This you
T3:13.9  here. This you must now do. You must represent the truth of these  words with your life.

T3:21.22 In other  words, it will matter not that there will be no priest or guru for
T3:22.12  between accepting what is and desiring what will be. Linking the  words creative and tension is caused by the dualistic world in which

T4:1.6 Why, you might ask, is a word such as chosen used, when many other  words would do, and when the concept of being chosen is one laden
T4:1.8  a choice made from fear or made from love. But there is, in other  words, no lack of choice. A choice is always made. A choice to accept

T4:12.17  my time on Earth and man is still puzzling over the meaning of my  words. The time for puzzlement is over. Pass on no more of the
T4:12.23 In other  words, you, as a being of singular consciousness, could learn the
D:1.3  stamina, through lack of intelligence—through lack, in other  words, of abilities of the personal self. As long as you “see” such
D:1.19  exchange, a conversation, and wonder how you, as a reader of these  words, can feel that same way. You can feel that same way by
D:1.19  can feel that same way by realizing that you are, as you read these  words, as much a “receiver” of this Dialogue as she who first hears

D:1.20  words to many, for you and the many who join you in receiving these  words are one.

D:3.15  as one. It is merely represented by the words on this page and the  words on this page are but a representation of what is continuously
D:7.6  comes from the unity in which doing and being are one, or in other  words from the state in which there is no division between who you
D:7.9  of wholeheartedness. The content of all living things is, in other  words, whole. By seeing only aspects of wholeness you have not seen
D:9.10  again and yet again, that the new cannot be learned. In other  words, it must be realized that you cannot come to know the new, or
D:10.5  What is becomes new by becoming sharable in form—or in other  words, what is continues to become through the continuation of
D:11.8 Now I return you to your idea of how these  words have come to you, for if you can fully accept the way in which
D:11.8  have come to you, for if you can fully accept the way in which these  words have been given and received, you will see that you can fully
D:11.9  mean? How might this relate to the giving and receiving of these  words? To the discussion we have been having about the body and the
D:11.12 The giving and receiving of these  words will never make sense within the terms of the world you have
D:11.12  suspend disbelief, the answer to the giving and receiving of these  words will provide the answer to the question your thoughts cannot
D:11.13 These  words give evidence of who I am because they give evidence that I
D:11.13  I am because they give evidence that I know who you are. That these  words give evidence that I know who you are and that they give the
D:11.13  the well of spirit, from the shared consciousness from which these  words are given and received.
D:11.14 In other  words, the elevated Self of form does not remain contained within the
D:11.18  of the elevated Self of form, arises. Unity is the Source of these  words. So is it said. So is it the truth.
D:12.2 You may have pictured the person who first received these  words as receiving them either through her thoughts or through her
D:12.2  her thoughts or through her ears, as in the idea of “hearing”  words. The receiver of these words, in fact, “hears” these words as
D:12.2  her ears, as in the idea of “hearing” words. The receiver of these  words, in fact, “hears” these words as thoughts. They are not “her”
D:12.2  “hearing” words. The receiver of these words, in fact, “hears” these  words as thoughts. They are not “her” thoughts, but they also are not
D:12.4  here. You have “entered into” this dialogue. While you think these  words come to you through the written form of this book, by means of
D:12.4  and the decoding mechanism of your brain, they do not, nor did the  words of this Course. You were told within this Course and you are
D:12.4  You were told within this Course and you are reminded now that these  words enter through your heart. As your mind and heart joined in
D:12.5  yet few of you would argue that you have been simply reading these  words as you have read the words of other books. While you may be
D:12.5  that you have been simply reading these words as you have read the  words of other books. While you may be aware that something different
D:12.7 Let your reception of these  words, a reception different from the reading of the words of most
D:12.7  of these words, a reception different from the reading of the  words of most and maybe all other books you have read, be a sign to
D:12.7  Keep this in mind as you consider how the first receiver of these  words can “hear” these words as thoughts. Keep in mind that she thus
D:12.7  you consider how the first receiver of these words can “hear” these  words as thoughts. Keep in mind that she thus has thoughts she is not
D:12.8  do not then become “your” thoughts, but they do “enter” you. Their  words must enter you in order for them to provide a source for your

T2:11.9  learning, then, must be seen for what it is. It is the holiest of  work and the final evidence of means and end being the same. Your

T3:1.5 As with much of our previous  work, the first step in advancing toward this goal is in developing
T3:1.13  the ego's thought system remain to be undone. This is atonement. We  work now to correct the errors of the past in the present, the only
T3:1.13  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 fully able to
T3:1.13  past in the present, the only place where such work can be done. We  work with what we have, a form fully able to represent the truth and,
T3:2.8  the truth as you perceive it to be has been the righteous  work of many who have caused great harm to others and the world.
T3:2.11  have worked, thus far, to change your idea of a vengeful God. Now we  work to change your idea of a vengeful self. For what else would such
T3:3.3  intentions and effort and being surprised neither by what seems to  work nor what seems to fail.
T3:4.7  But as we have said before, the only replacement that will  work is the replacement of illusion with the truth. The very purpose
T3:8.1  symbol that represents the truth, and the truth, for this is what we  work toward. Symbols are needed only in the house of illusion, just
T3:8.1  the very explosions that have rocked your faulty foundation. To  work toward being a representation of such great power is still a
T3:8.1  condition and your brothers and sisters scrambling in the dust. The  work that is upon you now is that of replacing the house of illusion
T3:8.1  the house of illusion once and for all with the home of truth. The  work that is upon you now is that of revelation of the Source.
T3:8.2  Truth is within you, then it is your own revelation toward which we  work. Never forget that establishing your identity has been the only

T3:9.5  This was the work of many who came before you but the time of such  work, for you, is past. Many remain to shake the walls of illusion.

T3:13.1  whether or not you would desire the new goal toward which we  work.
T3:14.2  these would all be worthy aims they are not the goal toward which we  work. These would be the consequences of new beliefs that are held
T3:15.13 These Treatises are no longer concerned with coursework as the  work of this Course has been accomplished in you. These Treatises are
T3:20.2  but there are degrees of remembering and since this is what we  work to have occur, time can become our ally by using it for

T3:20.13  an end to suffering be what you work toward? No. This is not your  work. This is not about your effort. This is about your observance.
T3:20.15  let nothing call you to return to the ways of old. They do not  work! To minister to those within the house of illusion is to offer
T3:20.15  I call you to offer the eternal to the eternal. The new way will  work wherever it finds willingness. You cannot call others to abandon
T3:22.2  this Course and the teachings of this Course with your lives and  work. Those who feel this call are surely needed. And each of you

D:12.4 This  work is called a dialogue. A dialogue is most often thought of as a
D:12.6 This is why we  work now on your awareness and acceptance of your changed state, for
D:12.11  of the true mind. I am not saying that your ego is still at  work because you still think in the same way as before. I am about to
D:13.12  to communicate union from the state of separation. This does not  work. Join with your brother and sister in Christ, however, and
D:15.9  easily understood, an example of the way in which these principles  work together. What I have left out of this story, the formless
D:15.10  be consistent with what we attempt to do here? With our continuing  work of creation? Would this not even be consistent with spirit
D:15.18  seek to maintain will be lost. Thus we look at maintenance as the  work, or relationship, with the desired service. In this example,
D:15.23 Here is where you  work in relationship to maintain what you have learned, for you know
D:15.23  will be different as a result of having made your ascent. The hard  work is done. What you gain here you gain from what is beyond effort
D:16.1  of becoming. You now know who you are, and so now you can begin the  work, or the relationship of this final stage: The stage of becoming
D:Day1.3 We are here on the top of the mountain together, beginning our  work together. I am no longer your teacher, but there is a reason
D:Day2.17  This idea would hardly be a joyful idea with which to begin our  work together.
D:Day3.17  not speaking of money or abundance as being “given” when it is hard  work to attain. Not even when it seems to come from some event of
D:Day3.22  and replaced them with ideas of having more time, more fulfilling  work, simpler pleasures, and yet you still see your new state as one
D:Day3.50  that has been promised? Why do you still have to try so hard?  Work so long? Endure so much? Why isn't the end in sight?
D:Day3.58  and as such as an active state, a state in which you begin to  work with what is beyond learning, a state in which you are in
D:Day5.6  way as another. This is important to remember now as you begin to  work with your access to unity.
D:Day5.7 Unity and Love—as we have within this  work shown them to be—are the same.
D:Day5.10 While the purpose of this  work was to have you identify love and thus your Self, correctly,
D:Day5.18  to know the specifics of how this thing called access to unity will  work, you are also impatient with specifics. You want immediate
D:Day5.22  about turning everything that was given into what “you” could only  work hard to attain, and thereby claim as your individual
D:Day5.26  of this is when full access is attained. So we will continue our  work now in releasing you from those things that would still block
D:Day6.4  often discussed the similarity between the creation of art and the  work we are doing here, we will return to this example. We have
D:Day6.9  a partially completed rhythm, lyrics without notes, or a completed  work that will qualify more as practice than as art, the piece
D:Day6.10 You are a  work of art headed for this oneness of full and true expression. No
D:Day6.27  devotion extend to others, particularly those who, along with us,  work toward its accomplishment. In doing so you are not creating new
D:Day6.28  is where it belongs—here—in the passionate acceptance of our  work together. And so the lack of desire you are experiencing for
D:Day6.31  dialogue and remain in your life. Realize that this is just what we  work toward! This difficulty will pass through you as you allow for
D:Day6.32 Does this  work of acceptance seem never ending? It is until it is replaced by
D:Day8.23 Remember always that we  work now to unite the Self of union with the self of form. The self
D:Day9.11  real. It has form only within your mind and has no substance. To  work toward, or to have as a goal, the achievement of an ideal image
D:Day9.13  your profession or material wealth, you have believed that if you  work hard enough you can maybe, someday, if you are blessed or lucky,
D:Day9.20  to some predetermined ideal state, we will not succeed in the  work we are doing here together. For if you believe this, you will
D:Day9.32  this type of freedom to strive, to achieve, to accomplish, to  work toward and realize goals. This is the second myth that must be
D:Day10.12  of the elevated Self of form. During this transformation, we  work with what is as well as with the new and the forgotten. This is

D:Day37.8 You keep striving for differentiation in a way that simply will not  work—through separation! And what's more, you keep striving for

Tx:4.81  ask how this is possible as long as you appear to be living in this  world, and since this is a sensible question, it has a sensible
Tx:4.81  understand the question. What is the “you” who are living in this  world?
Tx:5.6  and thus increases it. If you can accept the concept that the  world is one of ideas, the whole belief in the false association
Tx:5.20 It is possible even in this  world to hear only that Voice and no other. It takes effort and
Tx:5.25 “What profiteth it a man if he gain the whole  world and lose his own Soul?” That means that if he listens to the
Tx:5.28  one voice and answers in only one way. You are the light of the  world with me. Rest does not come from sleeping but from waking. The
Tx:5.28  from waking. The Holy Spirit is the call to awake and be glad. The  world is very tired, because it is the idea of weariness. Our task
Tx:5.42  peace is eternal, you are at home only in eternity. The ego made the  world as it perceives it, but the Holy Spirit, the reinterpreter
Tx:5.50  That is what is meant when we said it is possible even in this  world to listen to one voice. If you are part of God and the
Tx:5.74  power to reverse the lower courts' decisions about the laws of this  world. The ego's decisions are always wrong, because they are based
Tx:5.79 When I said, “I am come as a light into the  world,” I surely came to share the light with you. Remember the
Tx:6.8  you do choose to react that way, that I was persecuted as the  world judges and did not share this evaluation for myself. And
Tx:6.13  most outrageous assault as judged by the ego did not matter. As the  world judges these things, but not as God knows them, I was
Tx:6.29  automatically, because Atonement is the one need which in this  world is universal. To perceive yourself this way is the only way
Tx:6.29  this way is the only way in which you can find happiness in the  world. That is because it is the acknowledgment that you are not in
Tx:6.29  That is because it is the acknowledgment that you are not in this  world, for the world is unhappy.
Tx:6.29  it is the acknowledgment that you are not in this world, for the  world is unhappy.

Tx:7.1  in this respect your creative power differs from His. Even in this  world there is a parallel. Parents give birth to children, but
Tx:7.9 To heal is the only kind of thinking in this  world that resembles the Thought of God, and because of the elements
Tx:7.10  project you believe. This is an immutable law of the mind in this  world as well as in the Kingdom. However, the content is different in
Tx:7.10  as well as in the Kingdom. However, the content is different in this  world, because the thoughts it governs are very different from the
Tx:7.11  characteristic of the laws of mind as they operate in this  world is that by obeying them—and I assure you that you must obey
Tx:7.11  This is because the laws have adapted to the circumstances of this  world, in which diametrically opposed outcomes are believed in. The
Tx:7.12  in how [they] defend it, are siding with the one thing in this  world which is true. Whenever anyone can listen fairly to both
Tx:7.47  a Son of God can recognize his power in one instant and change the  world in the next. That is because by changing his mind he has
Tx:7.66  as unworthy, and attack them for their unworthiness. That is all the  world of the ego is—nothing. It has no meaning. It does not
Tx:7.71 That is the negative side of the law as it operates in this  world. Yet denial is a defense, and so it is as capable of being used
Tx:7.97  ego's premises. The Kingdom is the result of premises, just as this  world is.
Tx:7.107  which is joy. Following Him is therefore the easiest thing in the  world and the only thing that is easy, because it is not of the
Tx:7.107  world and the only thing that is easy, because it is not of the  world and is therefore natural. The world goes against your
Tx:7.107  easy, because it is not of the world and is therefore natural. The  world goes against your nature, being out of accord with God's
Tx:7.107  goes against your nature, being out of accord with God's laws. The  world perceives orders of difficulty in everything. This is because
Tx:8.26 I am come as a light into a  world that does deny itself everything. It does this simply by
Tx:8.26  I have told you that I am with you always, even to the end of the  world. That is why I am the light of the world. If I am with you in
Tx:8.26  even to the end of the world. That is why I am the light of the  world. If I am with you in the loneliness of the world, the
Tx:8.26  am the light of the world. If I am with you in the loneliness of the  world, the loneliness is gone. You cannot maintain the illusion
Tx:8.26  if you are not alone. My purpose, then, is to overcome the  world. I do not attack it, but my light must dispel it because of
Tx:8.27  you, and your problem in accepting it is the problem of this  world. Dispelling it is salvation, and in this sense I am the
Tx:8.27  it is salvation, and in this sense I am the salvation of the  world.
Tx:8.28 The  world must despise and reject me, because the world is the belief
Tx:8.28 The world must despise and reject me, because the  world is the belief that love is impossible. Your reactions to me
Tx:8.28  love is impossible. Your reactions to me are the reactions of the  world to God. If you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are
Tx:8.28  you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are denying the  world and accepting God. My will is His, and your will to hear me
Tx:8.29 Do you not think the  world needs peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it
Tx:8.29  needs peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it to the  world as much as you want to receive it? For unless you do, you
Tx:8.42  I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for anything the  world has to offer. The world can add nothing to the power and the
Tx:8.42  not the Kingdom of God for anything the world has to offer. The  world can add nothing to the power and the glory of God and His holy
Tx:8.42  the Sons to the Father if they behold it. You cannot behold the  world and know God. Only one is true.
Tx:8.43  He has saved you for yourselves. Let us glorify Him whom the  world denies, for over His Kingdom, it has no power. No one created
Tx:8.60  of why it is impossible, is the most depressing thing in the  world. In fact, it is ultimately why the world is depressing. The
Tx:8.60  depressing thing in the world. In fact, it is ultimately why the  world is depressing. The Holy Spirit's curriculum is never
Tx:8.61 In the  world, not even the body is perceived as whole. Its purpose is seen
Tx:8.68  power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this  world, and you will open your mind to creation in God.
Tx:8.71 The body exists in a  world which seems to contain two voices which are fighting for its

Tx:9.37  are incomplete without your creations. Accept your brother in this  world and accept nothing else, for in him you will find your
Tx:9.59  that time is solely at your disposal, and that nothing in the  world can take this responsibility from you. You can violate God's
Tx:9.69  to remember Him and know your own reality again. Let nothing in this  world delay your remembering of Him, for in this remembering is the
Tx:9.70  has been made but was rejected. The ability to accept truth in this  world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God
Tx:9.79  Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father. Health in this  world is the counterpart of value in Heaven. It is not my merit that
Tx:10.25  for your joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak little  world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled
Tx:10.69 The  world as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father,
Tx:10.69  as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for the  world is not as you see it. God created only the eternal, and
Tx:10.69  everything you see is perishable. Therefore, there must be another  world which you do not see. The Bible speaks of a new Heaven and
Tx:10.69  the interval, you were not perceiving at all. What, then, is the  world that awaits your perception when you see it?
Tx:10.70  of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind perceived in this  world are the world's only reality. They are still perceptions
Tx:10.70  loving, they are like the Father and therefore cannot die. The real  world can actually be perceived. All that is necessary is a
Tx:10.71  you have made that is true is like Him. Only this is the real  world, and perceiving only this will lead you to the real Heaven
Tx:10.72  between yourselves and your Creator, and these beliefs are the  world as you perceive it. Truth is not absent here, but it is
Tx:10.73 To believe that you can perceive the real  world is to believe that you can know yourself. You can know God
Tx:10.73  You can know God because it is His Will to be known. The real  world is all that the Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you
Tx:10.74  necessary. But do you believe it? When you have perceived the real  world, you will recognize that you did not believe it. Yet the
Tx:10.75  and the true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real  world will vanish from your sight. The end of the world is not its
Tx:10.75  one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end of the  world is not its destruction, but its translation into Heaven. The
Tx:10.75  but its translation into Heaven. The re-interpretation of the  world is the transfer of all perception to knowledge. The Bible
Tx:10.82  Children of God, you do not understand your Father. You believe in a  world that takes, because you believe that you can get by taking.
Tx:10.82  by taking. And by that perception, you have lost sight of the real  world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real
Tx:10.82  you have lost sight of the real world. You are afraid of the  world as you see it, but the real world is still yours for the
Tx:10.82  world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real  world is still yours for the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for
Tx:10.85 In the real  world there is no sickness, for there is no separation and no
Tx:10.86  will not accept your healing without his. For you share the real  world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love
Tx:10.90  When you perceive yourself without deceit, you will accept the real  world in place of the false one you have made. And then your Father
Tx:11.23  His only purpose. Do you not have greater reason for fearing the  world as you perceive it than for looking at the cause of fear and
Tx:11.24  This is what I meant: If you had no investment in anything in this  world, you could teach the poor where their treasure is. The poor
Tx:11.29  to handle it by making some sort of insane “arrangement” with the  world. He always perceives this world as outside himself, for this
Tx:11.29  of insane “arrangement” with the world. He always perceives this  world as outside himself, for this is crucial to his adjustment. He
Tx:11.29  crucial to his adjustment. He does not realize that he makes this  world, for there is no world outside of him.
Tx:11.29  He does not realize that he makes this world, for there is no  world outside of him.
Tx:11.30  the loving thoughts of God's Son are the world's reality, the real  world must be in his mind. His insane thoughts, too, must be in his
Tx:11.30  the split, not the reality. Everything you perceive as the outside  world is merely your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for
Tx:11.31 You are at odds with the  world as you perceive it because you think it is antagonistic to
Tx:11.31  of it and why you must get rid of it before you can perceive the  world as it really is.
Tx:11.32 We once said that God so loved the  world that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does love the
Tx:11.32  that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does love the real  world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see the world of
Tx:11.32  real world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see the  world of death. For death is not of the real world, in which
Tx:11.32  cannot see the world of death. For death is not of the real  world, in which everything is eternal. God gave you the real world in
Tx:11.32  real world, in which everything is eternal. God gave you the real  world in exchange for the one you made out of your split mind, and
Tx:11.32  separate yourselves from the Mind of God, you would die, and the  world you perceive is a world of separation.
Tx:11.32  the Mind of God, you would die, and the world you perceive is a  world of separation.
Tx:11.33  not will against Him, and that is why you have no control over the  world you made. It is not a world of will because it is governed by
Tx:11.33  that is why you have no control over the world you made. It is not a  world of will because it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him,
Tx:11.33  by the desire to be unlike Him, and this desire is not will. The  world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by arbitrary
Tx:11.34 Yet this  world is only in the mind of its maker along with his real
Tx:11.35 You have defiled the altar but not the  world. Yet Christ has placed the Atonement on the altar for you.
Tx:11.35  the Atonement on the altar for you. Bring your perceptions of the  world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There you will see
Tx:11.35  and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace and behold the  world truly. Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your
Tx:11.35  Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your investment in the  world as you have projected it, allowing the Holy Spirit to project
Tx:11.35  have projected it, allowing the Holy Spirit to project the real  world to you from the altar of God.
Tx:11.40 You will undertake a journey because you are not at home in this  world. And you will search for your home whether you know where it
Tx:11.53 The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole  world and lose your own Soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you
Tx:11.53  that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no gain in the  world, for of itself it profits nothing. To invest in something
Tx:11.55 You do not want the  world. The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look
Tx:11.55  come from the projection of loving thoughts outward. Make the  world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the
Tx:11.55  thoughts outward. Make the world real unto yourself, for the real  world is the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so it belongs to you.
Tx:11.57  and He longs to share His vision with you. He will show you the real  world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His
Tx:11.57  The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the real  world, and by this he will learn to reinvest in himself. For
Tx:11.57  with the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real  world in Their Name.
Tx:11.58 When you have seen this real  world, as you will surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must
Tx:11.58  to pay it. Only then will you decide to awaken. And then the real  world will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept. He is
Tx:11.58  for He has never lost sight of you. He looks quietly on the real  world, which He would share with you because He knows of the Father's
Tx:11.60  upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself which is His Son. The  world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the
Tx:11.60  has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the real  world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal in it
Tx:11.61  and by applying them to all situations, you will gain the real  world. For in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and the
Tx:11.62 Everyone in the  world must play his part in the redemption of the world to recognize
Tx:11.62 Everyone in the world must play his part in the redemption of the  world to recognize that the world has been redeemed. You cannot see
Tx:11.62  play his part in the redemption of the world to recognize that the  world has been redeemed. You cannot see the invisible. Yet if you
Tx:11.63  that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly not of this  world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges
Tx:11.63  of this world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this  world judges it. Every law of time and space, of magnitude and mass,
Tx:11.65  and as you look out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the  world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance
Tx:11.67  will make manifest by projection, and you will accept it from the  world because you put it there by wanting it.
Tx:11.68  because you made them different. The mind then sees a divided  world outside itself but not within. This gives it an illusion of
Tx:11.68  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 is to pursue
Tx:11.70  of decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this  world. You can decide to see it right. What you made of it is
Tx:11.72  And you will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the  world as God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only
Tx:11.72  God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real  world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so will you see. And
Tx:11.76  yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you look out upon a  world that cannot die.
Tx:11.77  neither the Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the real  world every day and every hour and every minute, and yet you are
Tx:11.82  is healed. You have made the invisible the only truth that this  world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing and found
Tx:11.83  Yet by seeking the unreal, what else could you find? The unreal  world is a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who share
Tx:11.84 The real  world was given you by God in loving exchange for the world you
Tx:11.84 The real world was given you by God in loving exchange for the  world you made and which you see. But take it from the hand of
Tx:11.86  the separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end. The  world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt.
Tx:11.86  delusional system of those made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this  world, and you will realize that this is so. For this world is the
Tx:11.86  at this world, and you will realize that this is so. For this  world is the symbol of punishment, and all the laws which seem to
Tx:11.87 If this were the real  world, God would be cruel. For no father could subject his children
Tx:11.87  and this is the ego's interpretation, not God's. Only the  world of guilt could demand this, for only the guilty could
Tx:11.88 This  world is a picture of the crucifixion of God's Son. And until you
Tx:11.88  until you realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this is the  world you will see. Yet you will not realize this until you accept
Tx:11.90 In this strange  world which you have made, the Son of God has sinned. How could you
Tx:11.90  sinned. How could you see him, then? By making him invisible, the  world of retribution rose in the black cloud of guilt which you
Tx:11.93  Mind. God's Son will always be as he was created. Deny your  world and judge him not, for his eternal guiltlessness is in the mind
Tx:12.13  joyous response to the call of love if you heard it, and the whole  world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit, then,
Tx:12.14  in defiance and that attack is grandeur. You think you have made a  world which God would destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you
Tx:12.14  destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you would throw this  world away, which you would. Therefore, you have used the world to
Tx:12.14  this world away, which you would. Therefore, you have used the  world to cover your love, and the deeper you go into the blackness
Tx:12.23  it is about you. You have been told that your function in this  world is healing, and your function in Heaven is creating. The ego
Tx:12.30  for now is the closest approximation of eternity which this  world offers. It is in the reality of now, without past or
Tx:12.32  of time as you interpret yours. If you accept your function in the  world of time as healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of
Tx:12.33  not seen and sounds which are not heard. They make up a private  world which cannot be shared. For they are meaningful only to
Tx:12.33  only to their maker, and so they have no meaning at all. In this  world their maker moves alone, for only he perceives them.
Tx:12.34 Each one peoples his  world with figures from his individual past, and it is because of
Tx:12.35  strange and shadowy figures that the insane relate to their insane  world. For they see only those who remind them of these images, and
Tx:12.35  because they saw in them a shadow figure in their own private  world. And thus it is that you must attack yourself first, for what
Tx:12.37 You have but two emotions, yet in your private  world you react to each of them as though it were the other. For
Tx:12.37  of them as though it were the other. For love cannot abide in a  world apart, where when it comes it is not recognized. If you see
Tx:12.37  and believing it is love, you call it to yourself. Your private  world is filled with the figures of fear you have invited into it,
Tx:12.37  offer you, you do not see. As you look with open eyes upon your  world, it must occur to you that you have withdrawn into insanity.
Tx:12.39  you to learn how to deny insanity and come forth from your private  world in peace.
Tx:12.41  and you cannot see in darkness. Yet in the darkness in the private  world of sleep, you see in dreams, although your eyes are closed.
Tx:12.41  for by it you accept insanity, believing you can make a private  world and rule your own perceptions. Yet for this, light must be
Tx:12.42  as His from love. And He sees for you as your witness to the real  world. He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the
Tx:12.42  He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the real  world and calling forth its witnesses and drawing them unto you.
Tx:12.44  with this vision of the truth in them came all the beauty of the  world to shine upon them.
Tx:12.55 There is a light which this  world cannot give. Yet you can give it, as it was given you. And as
Tx:12.55  given you. And as you give it, it shines forth to call you from the  world and follow it. For this light will attract you as nothing in
Tx:12.55  and follow it. For this light will attract you as nothing in this  world can do. And you will lay aside the world and find another. This
Tx:12.55  you as nothing in this world can do. And you will lay aside the  world and find another. This other world is bright with love, which
Tx:12.55  do. And you will lay aside the world and find another. This other  world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here will
Tx:12.55  Father and His Holy Son. Light is unlimited and spreads across this  world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you will shine on you,
Tx:12.57  alone. Even in sleep has Christ protected you, ensuring the real  world for you when you wake. In your name He has given for you
Tx:12.58 Sit quietly and look upon the  world you see, and tell yourself,
Tx:12.59 The real  world is not like this. It has no buildings, and there are no streets
Tx:12.60 The  world you see must be denied, for sight of it is costing you a
Tx:12.61 You do not really want the  world you see, for it has disappointed you since time began. The
Tx:12.61  tired and ready 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
Tx:12.61  you made it. This aching world has not the power to touch the living  world at all. You could not give it that, and so although you turn in
Tx:12.61  cannot find in it the road that leads away from it into another  world.
Tx:12.62 Yet the real  world has the power to touch you even here because you love it. And
Tx:12.62  the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange  world you made but do not want. The only effort you need make to give
Tx:12.62  you made but do not want. The only effort you need make to give this  world away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness
Tx:12.63 You have been wrong about the  world because you have misjudged yourself. From such a twisted
Tx:12.63  and waits for you to leave the past behind and enter into the  world He holds out to you in love.
Tx:12.64 No one in this distracted  world but has seen some glimpses of the other world about him. Yet
Tx:12.64  one in this distracted world but has seen some glimpses of the other  world about him. Yet while he still lays value on his own, he will
Tx:12.64  still lays value on his own, he will deny the vision of the other  world, maintaining that he loves what he loves not and following not
Tx:12.64  joyful journey home. You wait but for yourself. To give this sad  world over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but
Tx:12.65  from pain as God Himself, Who watches over him in everything. The  world about him shines with love because God placed him in Himself
Tx:12.65  on love, for it is all about him and within him. He must deny the  world of pain the instant he perceives the arms of love around him.
Tx:12.65  point of safety, he looks quietly about him and recognizes that the  world is one with him.
Tx:12.66  forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real  world is the way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that
Tx:12.67  In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit corrects the  world of dreams, where all perception is. Knowledge needs no
Tx:12.67  knowledge. Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real  world is but your welcome of what always was. Therefore, the call of
Tx:12.68  In Heaven this is so, for what could you need in eternity? In your  world you do need things because it is a world of scarcity in which
Tx:12.68  in eternity? In your world you do need things because it is a  world of scarcity in which you find yourself because you are
Tx:12.68  because you are lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a  world? Without the Holy Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet because
Tx:12.69  For what you think you need will merely serve to tighten up your  world against the light and render you unwilling to question the

Tx:13.38 Nothing in this  world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly
Tx:13.38 Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this  world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what

Tx:13.79  you will feel guilty for this imagined crime, which no one in this  world or Heaven could possibly commit. God's Spirit teaches only that

Tx:14.5  This is forever changeless. Accept, then, the immutable. Leave the  world of death behind, and return quietly to Heaven. There is
Tx:14.8  joined in the Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this  world. So will the world of separation slip away and full

Tx:14.31  clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish for all the  world not to accept what God would have you have. Behold your will,
Tx:14.42 In this  world you can become a spotless mirror in which the Holiness of your
Tx:14.44  that the reflection of God, shining in you, can bring to all the  world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your mind clean to
Tx:14.44  your mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the  world. The image of holiness which shines in your mind is not obscure
Tx:14.46  all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and bring this  world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws everyone to
Tx:14.47  reality. You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the  world you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it

Tx:15.29  His Son's creations, but without leaving you. Far beyond your little  world but still in you, He extends forever. Yet He brings all his
Tx:15.31  where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this  world because it is in you. And you are of your Father. Let us join
Tx:15.37  you to fulfill your holy part in the plan that He has given to the  world for its release from littleness. God would have His host abide
Tx:15.60 Herein lies peace, for here there is no conflict. In the  world of scarcity, love has no meaning, and peace is impossible. For
Tx:15.61  laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The laws of this  world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts
Tx:15.79  a teaching assignment such as His, He must use everything in this  world for your release. He must side with every sign or token of your
Tx:15.92  to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son. For in this  world, the attraction of guilt does stand between them. Neither
Tx:15.92  them. This is the season when you would celebrate my birth into the  world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you,
Tx:16.38  and of His Son established forever. Seek not for this in the bleak  world of illusion, where nothing is certain, and where everything
Tx:16.45  it is not natural at all seem to be the unnatural ones. For this  world is the opposite of Heaven, being made to be its opposite,
Tx:16.61  investment in seeing it would be withdrawn from it. You see the  world you value.
Tx:16.62 On this side of the bridge, you see the  world of separate bodies seeking to join each other in separate
Tx:16.64  hold on the distorted frame of reference which seemed to hold your  world together. This frame of reference is built around the special
Tx:17.8 This loveliness is not a fantasy. It is the real  world, bright and clean and new with everything sparkling under the
Tx:17.8  there are no fantasies to hide the truth. The bridge between that  world and this is so little and so easy to cross that you could not
Tx:17.8  Yet this little bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this  world at all. This little step, so small it has escaped your notice,
Tx:17.9  one but Him Who planned salvation could complete it thus. The real  world, in its loveliness, you learn to reach. Fantasies are all
Tx:17.10 The stars will disappear in light, and the sun which opened up the  world to beauty will vanish. Perception will be meaningless when it
Tx:17.10  made perception possible will occur. The perception of the real  world will be so short that you will barely have time to thank God
Tx:17.10  God will take the last step swiftly when you have reached the real  world and have been made ready for Him.

Tx:17.12 All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the  world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness literally transforms
Tx:17.12  forgiveness literally transforms vision and lets you see the real  world reaching quietly and gently across chaos and removing all

Tx:17.28 In this  world it is impossible to create, yet it is possible to make happy.
Tx:17.29 You have made very real relationships even in this  world which you do not recognize simply because you have raised their
Tx:17.43  relationship is the expression of the holy instant in living in this  world. Like everything about salvation, the holy instant is a
Tx:17.44 The holy relationship, a major step toward the perception of the real  world, is learned. It is the old unholy relationship transformed and
Tx:18.4  to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your whole  world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every
Tx:18.5  error. It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a  world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could come of
Tx:18.6 That was the first projection of error outward. The  world arose to hide it and became the screen on which it was
Tx:18.6  only increase is conceivable. Do you really think it strange that a  world in which everything is backwards and upside-down arose from
Tx:18.6  in quiet and take no part in all the mad projection by which this  world was made. Call it not sin but madness, for such it was, and so
Tx:18.7 The truth will save you. It has not left you to go out into the mad  world and so depart from you. Inward is sanity; insanity is outside
Tx:18.9  He has set the course inward to the truth you share. In the mad  world outside you, nothing can be shared but only substituted, and
Tx:18.12  who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking together out of this  world and through another to the loveliness and joy the other holds
Tx:18.13 You have been called together to the most holy function that this  world contains. It is the only one which has no limits and reaches

Tx:18.14  world you saw before you slept. Rather, it is a distortion of the  world, planned solely around what you would have preferred. Here, you

Tx:18.16  on substitution is laid upon you. For a time, it seems as if the  world were given you, to make it what you will. You do not realize
Tx:18.17  For the dream of your ability to control reality by substituting a  world which you prefer is terrifying. Your attempts to blot out
Tx:18.18 Dreams show you that you have the power to make a  world as you would have it be, and that because you want it, you
Tx:18.18  while you see it, you do not doubt that it is real. Yet here is a  world, clearly within your mind, that seems to be outside. You do
Tx:18.19 Your wish to make another  world that is not real remains with you. And what you seem to wake
Tx:18.19  you. And what you seem to wake to is but another form of this same  world you see in dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming. Your
Tx:18.22  hold to close your eyes. It is not strange that dreams can make a  world that is unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your

Tx:18.23  relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the  world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy and so natural.
Tx:18.23  waking dreams represent the same wishes in your mind, so do the real  world and the truth of Heaven join in the Will of God. The dream of
Tx:18.75 Such is the strange position in which those in a  world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body seems to house a
Tx:18.86  little and limited and so fragmented they are meaningless. From the  world of bodies, made by insanity, insane messages seem to be
Tx:18.86  to the mind which made it. And these messages bear witness to this  world, pronouncing it as true. For you sent forth these messengers
Tx:18.88  the body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the  world is based. Here are all the illusions, all the twisted thoughts,
Tx:18.88  and betrayal that were made to keep the guilt in place, so that the  world could rise from it and keep it hidden. Its shadow rises to the
Tx:18.91 Yet in this cloud bank, it is easy to see a whole  world rising. A solid mountain range, a lake, a city, all rise in
Tx:18.91  how much imagination you bring to it, you do not confuse it with the  world below, nor seek to make it real.
Tx:18.92  nature as He leads you past them, for beneath them is a  world of light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon
Tx:18.92  of light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon the  world beyond them, still further from the light. Yet from them to
Tx:18.93 This  world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real world where
Tx:18.93 This world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real  world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the world outside is
Tx:18.93  is the real world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the  world outside is seen anew, without the shadow of guilt upon it. Here
Tx:18.95  beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real  world, beyond which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a
Tx:18.97 Your relationship has been uprooted from the  world of shadows, and its unholy purpose has been safely brought
Tx:18.97  washed with forgiveness, and set shining and firmly rooted in the  world of light. From there, it calls to you to follow the course it
Tx:18.98  Forgiveness removes only the untrue, lifting the shadows from the  world and carrying it safe and sure within its gentleness to the
Tx:18.98  and carrying it safe and sure within its gentleness to the bright  world of new and clean perception. There is your purpose now. And
Tx:19.12  to you. Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real  world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is the

Tx:19.22 It can indeed be said the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a  world could everything be upside-down. This is the strange illusion
Tx:19.22  changed creation from an idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a  world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable of complete
Tx:19.32  For the belief that bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the  world in which the proof of separation seems to be everywhere. And
Tx:19.37  from elsewhere—from your brothers and from various aspects of the  world outside. Yet peace will gently cover them, extending past
Tx:19.43  of peace! For peace will send its messengers from you to all the  world. And barriers will fall away before their coming as easily as
Tx:19.44 To overcome the  world is no more difficult than to surmount your little wall. For in
Tx:19.46  in and push Him out must produce conflict. As you look upon the  world, this little wish, uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land
Tx:19.47  the belief in sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be the  world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to peace. Its pointless
Tx:19.51  is meaningless to fear and quite invisible. Relationships in this  world are the result of how the world is seen. And this depends on
Tx:19.51  invisible. Relationships in this world are the result of how the  world is seen. And this depends on which emotion was called on to
Tx:19.52 Send not these savage messengers into the  world to feast upon it and to prey upon reality. For they will bring
Tx:19.53  you salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see the  world as kind.
Tx:19.54  wanting no messages but theirs, you will see fear no more. The  world will be transformed before your sight, cleansed of all guilt
Tx:19.54  sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with beauty. The  world contains no fear which you laid not upon it. And none you
Tx:19.64  gates are opened from within to let peace through to bless the tired  world! Can it be difficult for us to walk past barriers together when
Tx:19.65  are guilty, so must I be. But if I surmounted guilt and overcame the  world, you were with me. Would you see in me the symbol of guilt or
Tx:19.66  gratitude for giving peace its home in Heaven. Send forth to all the  world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world will
Tx:19.66  to all the world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the  world will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone offers you
Tx:19.67  be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all the  world, contained in you.
Tx:19.85 Under the dusty edge of its distorted  world, the ego would lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof
Tx:19.90  and the Son of God entirely restored to sanity. For here your  world does end.
Tx:19.96 It seems to you the  world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all
Tx:19.96  but raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you will leave the  world forever. This is the reestablishment of your will. Look upon
Tx:19.110  protection of his Father. Here is the only purpose that gives this  world and the long journey through this world whatever meaning lies
Tx:19.110  only purpose that gives this world and the long journey through this  world whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond this they are
Tx:20.18  and it was what they saw that answered them. You make the  world and then adjust to it, and it to you. Nor is there any
Tx:20.19  remains and needs an answer. Do you like what you have made—a  world of murder and attack through which you thread your timid way
Tx:20.19  but the fearful thoughts of those who would adjust themselves to a  world made fearful by their adjustments. And they look out in sorrow
Tx:20.20 Have you not wondered what the  world is really like; how it would look through happy eyes? The
Tx:20.20  world is really like; how it would look through happy eyes? The  world you see is but a judgment on yourself. It is not there at all.
Tx:20.20  a sentence on it, justifies it, and makes it real. Such is the  world you see—a judgment on yourself and made by you. This sickly
Tx:20.20  whose image it is and which it loves, and placed outside you in the  world. And to this world must you adjust, as long as you believe this
Tx:20.20  and which it loves, and placed outside you in the world. And to this  world must you adjust, as long as you believe this picture is outside
Tx:20.20  you believe this picture is outside and has you at its mercy. This  world is merciless, and were it outside you, you should indeed be
Tx:20.21 Who in a holy relationship can long remain unholy? The  world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego looks
Tx:20.21  remain unholy? The world the holy see is one with them, just as the  world the ego looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is
Tx:20.21  with them, just as the world the ego looks upon is like itself. The  world the holy see is beautiful because they see their innocence in
Tx:20.21  watches over all perception answered. Take not the judgment of the  world as answer to the question, “What am I?”
Tx:20.22 The  world believes in sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is
Tx:20.24  believe the answer and adjust to it as if it were the truth? The  world you look on is the answer that it gave you, and you have
Tx:20.24  answer that it gave you, and you have given it power to adjust the  world to make its answer true. You asked this puff of madness for
Tx:20.28  give it the power to do so. For you give power as the laws of this  world interpret giving—as you give, you lose. It is not up to you
Tx:20.28  to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this  world sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These
Tx:20.32  function here is to release him and so to free himself. In the  world of separation, each is appointed separately, though they are
Tx:20.33  The ark of peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of another  world goes with them. Each holy relationship must enter here to learn
Tx:20.33  that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new  world rises in which sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can
Tx:20.34  of each other serves but you two alone. For the whole new  world rests in the hands of every two who enter here to rest. And as
Tx:20.37 In this  world, God's Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship.
Tx:20.73  within the kindly sway of Heaven's laws. What if you recognized this  world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it
Tx:20.74  them, but always, do you want the purpose which they serve? This  world seems to hold out many purposes, each different and with
Tx:20.75  to meet the goal of madness. They are the means by which the outside  world, projected from within, adjusts to sin and seems to witness to
Tx:20.76  to find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you give the  world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw within; or better,
Tx:21.1 Projection makes perception. The  world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though
Tx:21.1  man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the  world, but will to change your mind about the world. Perception is
Tx:21.1  not 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
Tx:21.2  is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the  world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the
Tx:21.2  made and learn from this to recognize which one you chose. [The  world you see but shows you how much joy you have allowed yourself
Tx:21.3 Never forget the  world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what it really looks
Tx:21.4  what could be seen instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the  world must look like. It must be seen before you recognize it for
Tx:21.6 The blind become accustomed to their  world by their adjustments to it. They think they know their way
Tx:21.6  keep them blind. This they do not believe. And so they keep the  world they learned to “see” in their imagination, believing that
Tx:21.6  believing that their choice is that or nothing. They hate the  world they learned through pain. And everything they think is in it
Tx:21.9  You could remember, yet you are afraid, believing you would lose the  world you learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the
Tx:21.9  world you learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the  world you learned is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you
Tx:21.18  not, then, this little offering. Withhold it, and you keep the  world as now you see it. Give it away, and everything you see goes
Tx:21.18  holy instant is this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the  world you do not want brought to the one you do. And here the one you

Tx:21.19 The  world you see is but the idle witness that you were right. This
Tx:21.24  goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the perception of a fearful  world to justify its purpose. What you desire you will see. And if
Tx:21.26 It is as needful that you recognize you made the  world you see as that you recognize that you did not create yourself.
Tx:21.26  Creator and believing that you made yourself. For if you think the  world you made has power to make you what it wills, you are
Tx:21.27  cannot serve to justify the madness. Your brother thinks he made the  world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks the
Tx:21.27  the world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks the  world he made, made him. Thus he denies he made it.
Tx:21.32  is reached. Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real  world and away from all illusions where your faith was laid. This is
Tx:21.36  how much their faith had limited their understanding of the  world, desiring to place its power elsewhere should another point of
Tx:21.37  faith you give each other can accomplish this. For He Who loves the  world is seeing it for you without one spot of sin upon it and in the
Tx:21.47  strength. The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another  world, brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now
Tx:21.49 Perception selects and makes the  world you see. It literally picks it out as the mind directs. The

Tx:21.60  himself as guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful  world and look upon himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you
Tx:21.73  It has no weapons, and it has no enemy. Yes, it can overrun the  world and seek an enemy. But it can never find what is not there.
Tx:21.74  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 understand how
Tx:21.75 Do I desire a  world I rule instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a world where
Tx:21.75  I desire a world I rule instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a  world where I am powerful instead of helpless? Do I desire a world in
Tx:21.75  a world where I am powerful instead of helpless? Do I desire a  world in which I have no enemies and cannot sin? And do I want to see
Tx:21.80  not to why. You have control of this. And if you choose to see a  world without an enemy in which you are not helpless, the means to
Tx:21.81  implies a state where vacillations are impossible. You can desire a  world you rule which rules you not, and change your mind. You can

Tx:21.82  the world of sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the  world of sin denies. And therefore those who look on sin are seeing
Tx:21.82  therefore those who look on sin are seeing the denial of the real  world. Yet the last question adds the wish for constancy in your

Tx:25.25  Knowledge has but one law because it has but one Creator. But this  world has two who made it, and they do not see it as the same. To
Tx:25.26 There is another Maker of the  world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad belief that anything

Tx:25.26  its goal with His Creator's purpose. In His perception of the  world, nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of

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 between you and His

Tx:25.48  to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a reminder this  world is not your home; its laws are not imposed on you; its values
Tx:25.50  a blessing, then it cannot be a sin. Sin is the one thing in all the  world that cannot change. It is immutable. And on its
Tx:25.50  that cannot change. It is immutable. And on its changelessness the  world depends. The magic of the world can seem to hide the pain of
Tx:25.50  And on its changelessness the world depends. The magic of the  world can seem to hide the pain of sin from sinners and deceive with
Tx:25.50  as love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The  world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor
Tx:25.51  is just as strong as is God's Will for life. Nor can the basis of a  world He did not make be firm and sure as Heaven. How could it be
Tx:25.52  it more 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
Tx:25.52  madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all within this  world. And nothing that the world believes as true has any meaning in
Tx:25.52  His makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the  world believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes
Tx:25.52  And if but one Thought of His is true, then all beliefs the  world gives any meaning to are false and make no sense at all. This
Tx:25.53 To justify one value that the  world upholds is to deny your Father's sanity and yours. For God
Tx:25.53  not that this belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the  world is sane in any way, is justified in anything it thinks, or
Tx:25.53  is not real because the Father and the Son are not insane. This  world is meaningless because it rests on sin. Who could create the
Tx:25.54 The Holy Spirit has the power to change the whole foundation of the  world you see to something else—a basis not insane on which a sane
Tx:25.54  a basis not insane on which a sane perception can be based, another  world perceived. And one in which nothing is contradicted that would
Tx:25.55  the other as insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a  world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the
Tx:25.55  look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a  world immutable, as each defines the changeless and eternal truth of
Tx:25.57  He is not mad has God appointed One as sane as He to raise a saner  world to meet the sight of everyone who chose insanity as his
Tx:25.57  choice of form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the  world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and show him he is
Tx:25.57  way of looking at what he has seen before and recognizes as the  world in which he lives and thought he understood before.
Tx:25.58  this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he sees within the  world offer him less and less— until he comes to understand it
Tx:25.60  but reflects the underlying tenet God must be insane. For in this  world, it seems that one must gain because another lost. If this
Tx:25.65 There is a kind of justice in salvation of which the  world knows nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the
Tx:25.65  of justice in salvation of which the world knows nothing. To the  world, justice and vengeance are the same, for sinners see justice
Tx:25.68  over them when they are told that they have never sinned. Their  world depends on sin's stability. And they perceive the “threat” of
Tx:25.68  knows as justice to be more destructive to themselves and to their  world than vengeance, which they understand and love.
Tx:25.75  that this is true. Nor need you look to your experience within the  world, which is but shadows of all that is really happening within
Tx:25.77  prevail for you. And you are safe from vengeance in all forms. The  world deceives, but it cannot replace God's justice with a version of
Tx:25.78  For if you answer “yes,” it means you will forgo all values of this  world in favor of the peace of Heaven. Not one sin would you
Tx:25.81  loss could justify attack, and loss of any kind He cannot see. The  world solves problems in another way. It sees a resolution as a state
Tx:26.1  wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the  world, and you will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself.
Tx:26.2 The  world you see is based on “sacrifice” of oneness. It is a picture of
Tx:26.4  anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen within a  world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to truth? He is
Tx:26.4  however much he witnesses to truth? He is invisible in such a  world. Nor can his song of union and of love be heard at all. Yet is
Tx:26.4  union and of love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to make the  world recede before his song and sight of him replace the body's eyes.
Tx:26.5  of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in the  world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your
Tx:26.5  and makes it meaningful. Without your special function has this  world no meaning for you. Yet it can become a treasure house as rich

Tx:26.8  gentleness upon His Son and keeps him safe from all injustices the  world would lay upon him. Could it be that you could make his sins
Tx:26.19  grasped. There is a borderland of thought which stands between this  world and Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart
Tx:26.20 This is the journey's end. We have referred to it as the “real  world.” And yet there is a contradiction here in that the words imply
Tx:26.21  last evaluation that will be possible, the final judgment upon this  world. It is the judgment of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on
Tx:26.21  decision. It is but a simple statement of a simple fact. But in this  world, there are no simple facts because what is the same and what
Tx:26.21  the worlds. In this one, choice is made impossible. In the real  world is choosing simplified.
Tx:26.23 There is no basis for choice in this complex and over-complicated  world. For no one understands what is the same and seems to choose
Tx:26.23  is the same and seems to choose where no choice really is. The real  world is the area of choice made real, not in the outcome but in the
Tx:26.25  is this world's equivalent of Heaven's justice. It translates the  world of sin into a simple world where justice can be reflected from
Tx:26.25  of Heaven's justice. It translates the world of sin into a simple  world where justice can be reflected from beyond the gate behind
Tx:26.25  love could need forgiveness. And what is charity within the  world gives way to simple justice past the gate that opens into
Tx:26.26 Forgiveness turns the  world of sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower
Tx:26.26 Forgiveness turns the world of sin into a  world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower shines in light, and
Tx:26.27  has left a place for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above the  world and reach beyond the universe to touch the heart of all
Tx:26.29 Where sin once was perceived will rise a  world which will become an altar to the truth, and you will join
Tx:26.31  hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher of the  world. Yet since you do believe in [its reality], why should you
Tx:26.34  teacher. Only in the past—an ancient past, too short to make a  world in answer to creation—did this world appear to rise. So very
Tx:26.34  past, too short to make a world in answer to creation—did this  world appear to rise. So very long ago, for such a tiny interval of
Tx:26.41  gone and hinder not the true existence of the here and now. The real  world is the second part of the hallucination time and death are real
Tx:26.43  that lies between the worlds. You have gone on and reached the  world that lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will
Tx:26.43  that was over long ago. Look gently on each other and behold the  world in which perception of your hate has been transformed into a
Tx:26.43  world in which perception of your hate has been transformed into a  world of love.
Tx:26.44 Anything in this  world that you believe is good and valuable and worth striving for
Tx:26.44  not nothing and through its perceived reality has entered all the  world of sick illusions. All belief in sin, in power of attack, in
Tx:26.46  only Friend in truth. He brings you gifts that are not of this  world, and only He to whom they have been given can make sure that
Tx:26.48  for punishment, and its request is granted—not in truth but in the  world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The Son of God perceives
Tx:26.49  of anything that is apart from it. Yet has God given answer to the  world of sickness which applies to all its forms. God's answer is
Tx:26.49  of God, the laws 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
Tx:26.52  laws of two opposing powers until God becomes impatient, splits the  world apart, and relegates attack unto Himself. Thus has He lost His
Tx:26.53  is the only function here and serves to bring the joy this  world denies to every aspect of God's Son where sin was thought to
Tx:26.54  still conceives of other choices and has not yet reached beyond the  world of choice entirely.
Tx:26.56  there; a little sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this  world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will
Tx:26.56  rule. In joyous answer will creation rise within you to replace the  world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is
Tx:26.57  not understood apart from Him and therefore has no meaning in this  world.
Tx:26.59  their source made real and meaningful. And from this error does the  world of sin and sacrifice arise. This world is an attempt to prove
Tx:26.59  And from this error does the world of sin and sacrifice arise. This  world is an attempt to prove your innocence while cherishing attack.
Tx:26.66  your wishes are fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing blessing to the  world of sin and death. For what can save each one of us can save us
Tx:26.79  sun. What was a place of death has now become a living temple in a  world of light. Because of Them. It is Their Presence which has
Tx:26.81  no space nor distance lingering between the light of Heaven and the  world.
Tx:26.83  the light where it has entered in. Your footprints lighten up the  world, for where you walk forgiveness gladly goes with you. No one on
Tx:26.89  known to you. And to this purpose, nothing can be added, for the  world is purposeless except for this. To add or take away from this
Tx:26.89  away from this one goal is but to take away all purpose from the  world and from yourself. And each unfairness that the world appears
Tx:26.89  from the world and from yourself. And each unfairness that the  world appears to lay upon you, you have laid on it by rendering
Tx:26.90  unfairly and who see as you have judged, you cannot calculate. The  world grows dim and threatening, and not a trace of all the happy
Tx:26.90  abandoned to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a futile  world. The world is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought
Tx:26.90  to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a futile world. The  world is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the
Tx:27.7  will for life, but wish for death that is the motivation for this  world. Its only purpose is to prove guilt real. No worldly thought or
Tx:27.18 Thus does the miracle undo all things the  world attests can never be undone. And hopelessness and death must
Tx:27.18  and of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the  world will ever hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you
Tx:27.20  of your serenity is his. This is the “price” the Holy Spirit and the  world interpret differently. The world perceives it as a statement of
Tx:27.20  the “price” the Holy Spirit and the world interpret differently. The  world perceives it as a statement of the “fact” that your salvation
Tx:27.35  at all. Give welcome to the Power beyond forgiveness and beyond the  world of symbols and of limitations. He would merely be, and so He
Tx:27.38  found. Nowhere outside a single simple question is ever asked. The  world can only ask a double question with many answers, none of which
Tx:27.38  only to restate its point of view. All questions asked within this  world are but a way of looking, not a question asked. A question
Tx:27.39 The  world asks but one question. It is this: “Of these illusions, which
Tx:27.39  joy? And which can bring escape from all the pain of which this  world is made?” Whatever form the question takes, its purpose is the
Tx:27.40  the answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning within the  world a form of propaganda for itself. Just as the body's witnesses
Tx:27.40  from within itself, so are the answers to the questions of the  world contained within the questions. Where answers represent the
Tx:27.42  because it answers questions truly asked. The questions of the  world but ask of whom is sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice
Tx:27.43 Therefore, attempt to solve no problems in a  world from which the answer has been barred. But bring the problem to
Tx:27.43  and see what can be answered—what the question is. Within the  world the answers merely raise another question, though they leave
Tx:27.46  the miracle's abiding-place. From there each one is born into this  world as witness to a state of mind which has transcended conflict
Tx:27.47  Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves all the  world and leaves nothing within the world that could be feared. But
Tx:27.47  Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves nothing within the  world that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the
Tx:27.47  world that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the  world indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld its peace and
Tx:27.47  have withheld its peace and comfort, leaving it to die. Would not a  world so bitterly bereft be looked on as a condemnation by the one
Tx:27.47  well its question. It is asked of you on your behalf. A dying  world asks only that you rest an instant from attack upon yourself,
Tx:27.48  that is there received is left behind on your returning to the  world. And being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is given you
Tx:27.48  you will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the dying  world. And suffering eyes no longer will accuse, but shine in thanks
Tx:27.48  the other, for they cannot both be there. And what you see the  world will witness, and will witness to.
Tx:27.49 Thus is your healing everything the  world requires that it may be healed. It needs one lesson which has
Tx:27.49  has perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it will the  world remind you gently of what you have taught. No reinforcement
Tx:27.49  to you who brought the sight to them by which they witnessed it. The  world of accusation is replaced by one in which all eyes look
Tx:27.50  but they take specific forms, and these specific shapes make up the  world. And no one understands the nature of his problem. If he did,
Tx:27.59 Love, too, has symbols in a  world of sin. The miracle forgives because it stands for what is past
Tx:27.59  sufferings. Yet to the One Who sends forth miracles to bless the  world, a tiny stab of pain, a little worldly pleasure, and the throes
Tx:27.59  sound—a call for healing and a plaintive cry for help within a  world of misery. It is their sameness that the miracle attests. It
Tx:27.60  But there is need that you be healed, because the suffering of the  world has made it deaf to its salvation and deliverance.
Tx:27.61 The resurrection of the  world awaits your healing and your happiness, that you may
Tx:27.61  and your happiness, that you may demonstrate the healing of the  world. The holy instant will replace all sin if you but carry its
Tx:27.62 Suffering is an emphasis upon all that the  world has done to injure you. Here is the world's demented version of
Tx:27.64 The “reasoning” by which the  world is made, on which it rests, by which it is maintained, is
Tx:27.64  makes no sense. Yet it seems sensible because it looks as if the  world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there is no need to go
Tx:27.65  world's escape from condemnation is a need which those within the  world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not recognize their common
Tx:27.65  each one thinks that if he does his part, the condemnation of the  world will rest on him. And it is this that he perceives to be his
Tx:27.65  he does not hold has made upon himself. This is the purpose of the  world he sees. And looked at thus, the world provides the means by
Tx:27.65  This is the purpose of the world he sees. And looked at thus, the  world provides the means by which this purpose seems to be fulfilled.
Tx:27.67 The part you play in salvaging the  world from condemnation is your own escape. Forget not that the
Tx:27.67  is your own escape. Forget not that the witness to the  world of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a need for evil
Tx:27.67  of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a need for evil in the  world. And this is where your guilt was first beheld. In separation
Tx:27.67  brother was the first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the  world bears witness to. Seek not another cause nor look among the
Tx:27.67  And it is here you find the cause of your perspective on the  world.
Tx:27.68 Once you were unaware of what the cause of everything the  world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited and unasked, must really
Tx:27.69 No one can waken from a dream the  world is dreaming for him. He becomes a part of someone else's
Tx:27.69  to a senseless plot conceived within the idle dreaming of the  world.
Tx:27.71  one in which the choice is split between a tiny you and an enormous  world, with different dreams about the truth in you. The gap between
Tx:27.71  gap between reality and dreams lies not between the dreaming of the  world and what you dream in secret. They are one. The dreaming of
Tx:27.71  and what you 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
Tx:27.72  enemy, the scavenger and the destroyer of [the] brother and the  world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the space between your
Tx:27.73 You are the dreamer of the  world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more
Tx:27.77 The body is the central figure in the dreaming of the  world. There is no dream without it, nor does it exist without the
Tx:27.77  tells the story of how it was made by other bodies, born into the  world outside the body, lives a little while and dies, to be united
Tx:27.78 The dreaming of the  world takes many forms, because the body seeks in many ways to prove

Tx:27.81 How willing are you to escape effects of all the dreams the  world has ever had? Is it your wish to let no dream appear to be the
Tx:27.81  whose cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the  world remembers his attack upon himself. No one believes there really
Tx:27.81  when he knew nothing of a body and could never have conceived this  world as real. He would have seen at once that these ideas are one
Tx:27.83  whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its cause. The  world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did. Except that
Tx:27.83  what you thought is being placed outside yourself and on a guilty  world which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of
Tx:27.84 The  world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you will believe that
Tx:27.89  not to listen, not to see. How differently will you perceive the  world when this is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt,
Tx:27.89  you perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive the  world your guilt, you will be free of it. Its innocence does not
Tx:27.90  yourself. And it is this that has maintained you separate from the  world and kept your brother separate from you. Now need you but to
Tx:28.1  but being kept in memory, appears to have immediate effects. This  world was over long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in
Tx:28.4  a skill that can remember now. The limitations on remembering the  world imposes on it are as vast as those you let the world impose on
Tx:28.4  remembering the world imposes on it are as vast as those you let the  world impose on you. There is no link of memory to the past. If you
Tx:28.14  Its effects are changelessly eternal, beyond fear, and past the  world of sin entirely.
Tx:28.18  is given no effects and none are seen. A mind within a body and a  world of other bodies, each with separate minds, are your
Tx:28.20  only that you see you made the one you would exchange for this. This  world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within
Tx:28.20  is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within the  world. No plans are possible and no design exists that could be found
Tx:28.25  has no effects. Now are you freed from this much of the dream; the  world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move about as
Tx:28.27 This  world is full of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to
Tx:28.27  have been retraced, the ladder gone, and all the dreaming of the  world undone.
Tx:28.31 The end of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was never in the  world of dreams. The gap is little. Yet it holds the seeds of
Tx:28.34  as all the treasures you would keep within the storehouse of the  world. The door is open, not to thieves but to your starving brothers
Tx:28.34  silver. They have nothing left behind the open door. What is the  world except a little gap perceived to tear eternity apart and break
Tx:28.34  into days and months and years? And what are you who live within the  world except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each
Tx:28.35 Be not afraid, but let your  world be lit by miracles. And where the gap was seen to stand between
Tx:28.36 This is a feast unlike indeed to those the dreaming of the  world has shown. For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is
Tx:28.50  where your Self is safely hidden by what you have made. Here is a  world established that is sick, and this the world the body's eyes
Tx:28.50  have made. Here is a world established that is sick, and this the  world the body's eyes perceive. Here are the sounds it hears—the
Tx:28.51  your ears bear witness to illusion. They were made to look upon a  world that is not there, to hear the voices that can make no sound.
Tx:28.51  senseless scrap and shred of evidence, and make a witness to the  world you want. Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these
Tx:28.53  not 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:28.53  are kept as prisoners in a world perceived to be existing here. The  world you see does not exist because the place where you perceive it
Tx:28.61  and the Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing, and the  world waits with him. Nor are you apart from it. For healing will be
Tx:28.64 But never you alone. This  world is but the dream that you can be alone and think without
Tx:28.66  upon it, and the rain will beat against it but with no effect. The  world will wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its
Tx:29.15  Confusion follows on confusion here, for on confusion has this  world been based, and there is nothing else it rests upon. Its basis
Tx:29.21  see someone else as not a body, one with him, without the wall the  world has built to keep apart all living things who know not that
Tx:29.31 There is a place in you where this whole  world has been forgotten, where no memory of sin and of illusion
Tx:29.32  of Heaven is in you, so deep within that nothing in this  world but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still infinity of
Tx:29.34  sword, for they have left their hold on every vain illusion of the  world. And being empty, they received instead a brother's hand in
Tx:29.36  who serve the lord of death have come to worship in a separated  world, each with his tiny spear and rusted sword to keep his ancient
Tx:29.37  though it was for this that every dream was made. Yet nothing in the  world of dreams remains without the hope of change and betterment,
Tx:29.37  us be glad indeed that this is so and seek not the eternal in this  world. Forgiving dreams are means to step aside from dreaming of a
Tx:29.37  world. Forgiving dreams are means to step aside from dreaming of a  world outside yourself. And leading finally beyond all dreams unto
Tx:29.42 This  world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body only
Tx:29.42  it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and nothing in the  world but must be changed as well. For nothing here but is defined as
Tx:29.42  here 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,
Tx:29.42  a little while in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a  world, it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take
Tx:29.48 All idols of this  world were made to keep the truth within from being known to you and
Tx:29.48  Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the  world the past has given it. For otherwise, the future will be like
Tx:29.49  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 you decide
Tx:29.50  brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a  world made sad and sick by seeing idols there. Your holy minds are
Tx:29.50  idol which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the  world becomes the means by which this idol can be saved. Salvation
Tx:29.53  will complete your little self [and let you walk in] safety in a  world perceived as dangerous, with forces massed against your
Tx:29.53  strength to raise his head and stand apart from all the misery the  world reflects. This is the penalty for looking not within for
Tx:29.53  not within for certainty and quiet calm which liberates you from the  world and lets you stand apart in quiet and in peace [unlimited].
Tx:29.55 This  world of idols is a veil across the face of Christ because its
Tx:29.57  place beyond the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the  world of idols has been set by the idea this power and place and time
Tx:29.57  the idea this power and place and time are given form and shape the  world where the impossible has happened. Here the deathless come to
Tx:29.59  each depending on the one of whom the question has been asked. The  world believes in idols. No one comes unless he worshiped them and
Tx:29.64  with. Who has need of toys but children? They pretend they rule the  world and give their toys the power to move about and talk and think
Tx:29.65  the thoughts are real. And so he makes of anything a toy to make his  world remain outside himself, and play that he is but a part of
Tx:29.66  bad things seem to happen, and he is afraid of all the chaos in a  world he thinks is governed by the laws he made. Yet is the real
Tx:29.66  a world he thinks is governed by the laws he made. Yet is the real  world unaffected by the world he thinks is real. Nor have its laws
Tx:29.66  by the laws he made. Yet is the real world unaffected by the  world he thinks is real. Nor have its laws been changed because he
Tx:29.67 The real  world still is but a dream. Except the figures have been changed.
Tx:30.31  They are made by you and your advisor for yourself and for the  world as well. The day you want you offer to the world, for it will
Tx:30.31  and for the world as well. The day you want you offer to the  world, for it will be what you have asked for and will reinforce the
Tx:30.31  have asked for and will reinforce the rule of your advisor in the  world. Whose kingdom is the world for you today? What kind of day
Tx:30.31  the rule of your advisor in the world. Whose kingdom is the  world for you today? What kind of day will you decide to have?
Tx:30.32  but two who would have happiness this day to promise it to all the  world. It needs but two to understand that they cannot decide alone
Tx:30.32  keep in mind, and you will have the day you want and give it to the  world by having it yourself. Your judgment has been lifted from the
Tx:30.32  world by having it yourself. Your judgment has been lifted from the  world by your decision for a happy day. And as you have received, so
Tx:30.35  you chose to hate instead of love. For thus was hatred born into the  world, and thus the rule of fear established there. Now hear God
Tx:30.36 What cause have you for anger in a  world which merely waits your blessing to be free? If you be
Tx:30.37 This  world awaits the freedom you will give when you have recognized that
Tx:30.37  have recognized that you are free. But you will not forgive the  world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your will to you. For it
Tx:30.37  forgiven Him Who gave your will to you. For it is by your will the  world is given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy
Tx:30.37  from Him Whose holy will you share. God turns to you to ask the  world be saved, for by your own salvation it is healed. And no one
Tx:30.47  of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the  world, the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the
Tx:30.47  Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the  world that worships idols and that knows not God. In perfect sureness
Tx:30.48  but where you are? Is your reality a thing apart from you and in a  world which your reality knows nothing of? Outside you there is no
Tx:30.50  and the bears did not deceive him, broke no rules, nor mean his  world is made chaotic and unsafe. He was mistaken. He misunderstood
Tx:30.57 The real  world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is
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, and the
Tx:30.58  and the means by which it can be gained can now be understood. The  world becomes a place of hope because its only purpose is to be a
Tx:30.58  can be fulfilled. And no one stands outside this hope because the  world has been united in belief the purpose of the world is one which
Tx:30.58  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 just a dream.
Tx:30.60  this can be, for understanding this is Heaven itself. Even the real  world has a purpose still beneath creation and eternity. But fear is
Tx:30.61 The real  world still falls short of this, for this is God's own purpose—only
Tx:30.61  His, and yet completely shared and perfectly fulfilled. The real  world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols go
Tx:30.63 When brothers join in purpose in the  world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the real world.
Tx:30.63  in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the real  world. Perhaps they still look back and think they see an idol that
Tx:30.64 How light and easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the  world of fear when you have recognized Whose hand you hold! Within
Tx:30.65 An ancient hate is passing from the  world. And with it goes all hatred and all fear. Look back no longer,
Tx:30.65  what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your hearts. Give up the  world! But not to sacrifice. You never wanted it. What happiness
Tx:30.70  escape from fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the real  world given in exchange for dreams of terror. For it is on this
Tx:30.72 This understanding is the only change that lets the real  world rise to take the place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise
Tx:30.72  and if it had a real foundation, pardon would have none. The real  world is achieved when you perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite
Tx:30.72  “forgive.” Unjustified forgiveness is attack. And this is all the  world can ever give. It pardons “sinners” sometimes but remains aware
Tx:30.73 This is the false forgiveness which the  world employs to keep the sense of sin alive. And recognizing God
Tx:30.74  be one mistake which had the power to undo creation and to make a  world which could replace it and destroy the Will of God. Only if
Tx:30.82 Would God have left the meaning of the  world to your interpretation? If He had, it has no meaning. For it
Tx:30.82  changes constantly and yet is true. The Holy Spirit looks upon the  world as with one purpose, changelessly established. And no situation
Tx:30.85  perception can be stabilized and one interpretation given to the  world and all experiences here. In this shared purpose is one
Tx:30.86  this—all things have but one purpose which you share with all the  world. And nothing in the world can be opposed to it, for it belongs
Tx:30.86  one purpose which you share with all the world. And nothing in the  world can be opposed to it, for it belongs to everything as it
Tx:30.88  It will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe the  world is an uncertain place in which you walk in danger and
Tx:31.3  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 nothing else.
Tx:31.3  of your learning skill. There is no greater power in the world. The  world was made by it and even now depends on nothing else. The
Tx:31.4  taking every step, however difficult, without complaint until a  world was built that suited you. And every lesson that makes up the
Tx:31.4  world was built that suited you. And every lesson that makes up the  world arises from the first accomplishment of learning—an enormity
Tx:31.4  Holy Spirit's Voice seems small and still before its magnitude. The  world began with one strange lesson, powerful enough to render God
Tx:31.5  only purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the  world. His simple lessons in forgiveness have a power mightier than
Tx:31.7  to be learned are only two. Each has its outcome in a different  world. And each world follows surely from its source. The certain
Tx:31.7  are only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And each  world follows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the
Tx:31.7  The certain outcome of the lesson that God's Son is guilty is the  world you see. It is a world of terror and despair. Nor is there
Tx:31.7  the lesson that God's Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a  world of terror and despair. Nor is there hope of happiness in it.
Tx:31.7  still. And you will learn God's Son is innocent and see another  world.
Tx:31.8 The outcome of the lesson that God's Son is guiltless is a  world in which there is no fear and everything is lit with hope and
Tx:31.8  understand it was this call that everyone and everything within the  world has always made, but you had not perceived it as it was. And
Tx:31.8  of each part of God's creation to the whole is heard throughout the  world this second lesson brings.
Tx:31.10  behind each murderous attack and pleads that love restore the dying  world! You do not understand Who calls to you beyond each form of
Tx:31.11  deeper call beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the  world will give you joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And
Tx:31.11  Your answer is the proof of what you learned. Its outcome is the  world you look upon.
Tx:31.12  what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the  world is for. We do not know. Let every image held of [anyone] be
Tx:31.30  of sacrifice preserved, for here guilt rules and orders that the  world be like itself—a place where nothing can find mercy or
Tx:31.33 There is a tendency to think the  world can offer consolation and escape from problems which its
Tx:31.34 Real choice is no illusion. But the  world has none to offer. All its roads but lead to disappointment,
Tx:31.34  choice in its alternatives. Seek not escape from problems here. The  world was made that problems could not be escaped. Be not deceived
Tx:31.35  them all before you really learn they are but one. The roads this  world can offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must
Tx:31.35  this because they saw no way except the pathways offered by the  world. And learning they led nowhere, lost their hope. And yet this
Tx:31.35  go beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all within the  world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a
Tx:31.36  found. Learn now, without despair, there is no hope of answer in the  world. But do not judge the lesson which is but begun with this.
Tx:31.36  which is but begun with this. Seek not another signpost in the  world which seems to point to still another road. No longer look for
Tx:31.37 Who would be willing to be turned away from all the roadways of the  world unless he understood their real futility? Is it not needful
Tx:31.38 The learning that the  world can offer but one choice, no matter what its form may be, is
Tx:31.38  your purpose here. You did not come to learn to find a road the  world does not contain. The search for different pathways in the
Tx:31.38  the world does not contain. The search for different pathways in the  world is but the search for different forms of truth. And this would
Tx:31.40  still the same illusion and the same mistake. All choices in the  world depend on this—you choose between your brother and yourself,
Tx:31.41  forgot His Presence and remembered not His Love. No pathway in the  world can lead to Him, nor any worldly goal is one with His. What
Tx:31.41  to Him, nor any worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the  world will lead within, when every road was made to separate the
Tx:31.43 The learning of the  world is built upon a concept of the self adjusted to the world's
Tx:31.43  world's reality. It fits it well. For this an image is that suits a  world of shadows and illusions. Here it walks at home, where what it
Tx:31.43  The building of a concept of the self is what the learning of the  world is for. This is its purpose—that you come without a self
Tx:31.43  by the time you reach “maturity,” you have perfected it to meet the  world on equal terms, at one with its demands.
Tx:31.44  the place of your reality as Son of God. The concept of the self the  world would teach is not the thing that it appears to be. For it is
Tx:31.44  sometimes offers solace. It believes that it is good within an evil  world.
Tx:31.45 This aspect can grow angry, for the  world is wicked and unable to provide the love and shelter innocence
Tx:31.45  And so this face is often wet with tears at the injustices the  world accords to those who would be generous and good. This aspect
Tx:31.46  tolerate attack in self-defense, for is it not a well-known fact the  world deals harshly with defenseless innocence? No one who makes a
Tx:31.46  side he does not want to see. Yet it is here the learning of the  world has set its sights, for it is here the world's “reality” is set
Tx:31.47  condemned because of what I am.” On this conception of the self the  world smiles with approval, for it guarantees the pathways of the
Tx:31.47  world smiles with approval, for it guarantees the pathways of the  world are safely kept and those who walk on them will not escape.
Tx:31.49  to which its maker gives a meaning of his own? Concepts maintain the  world. But they cannot be used to demonstrate the world is real. For
Tx:31.49  maintain the world. But they cannot be used to demonstrate the  world is real. For all of them are made within the world, born in its
Tx:31.49  demonstrate the world is real. For all of them are made within the  world, born in its shadow, growing in its ways, and finally
Tx:31.49  its thought. They are ideas of idols painted with the brushes of the  world, which cannot make a single picture representing truth.
Tx:31.50  therefore cannot picture what it is. Yet is all learning which the  world directs begun and ended with the single aim of teaching you
Tx:31.51  came what you should do in every circumstance? He must have made the  world as well as you to have such prescience in the things to come.
Tx:31.52  make the other? And from whom must something be kept hidden? If the  world be evil, there is still no need to hide what you are made of.
Tx:31.53  who would not think it true is you. And what would happen to the  world you know if all its underpinnings were removed? Your concept of
Tx:31.53  you know if all its underpinnings were removed? Your concept of the  world depends upon this concept of the self. And both would go if
Tx:31.56  concept of the self has always been the great preoccupation of the  world. And everyone believes that he must find the answer to the
Tx:31.57  perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a guilty  world is but the sign your learning has been guided by the world, and
Tx:31.57  a guilty world is but the sign your learning has been guided by the  world, and you behold it as you see yourself. The concept of the self
Tx:31.58  time there is a shift, but be you thankful that the learning of the  world is loosening its grasp upon your mind. And be you sure and
Tx:31.59 The  world can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them.
Tx:31.59  sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no statement that the  world is more afraid to hear than this:
Tx:31.60  do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the  world or on myself.
Tx:31.62  and think is real and hold as true. On this one choice does all your  world depend, for here have you established what you are, as flesh or
Tx:31.62  to touch your eyes and bless your holy sight, that you may see the  world of flesh no more except to heal and comfort and to bless.
Tx:31.63 Salvation is undoing. If you choose to see the body, you behold a  world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no
Tx:31.64  can see the body without help but do not understand how to behold a  world apart from it. It is your world salvation will undo and let you
Tx:31.64  do not understand how to behold a world apart from it. It is your  world salvation will undo and let you see another world your eyes
Tx:31.64  it. It is your world salvation will undo and let you see another  world your eyes could never find. Be not concerned how this could
Tx:31.65  the way to Heaven plain. The means are given you by which to see the  world that will replace the one you made. Your will be done! In
Tx:31.66  does not fit the picture as it was perceived before will change the  world for eyes that learn to see, because the concept of the self
Tx:31.66  concept of the self has changed. Are you invulnerable? Then the  world is harmless in your sight. Do you forgive? Then is the world
Tx:31.66  the world is harmless in your sight. Do you forgive? Then is the  world forgiving, for you have forgiven it its trespasses and so it
Tx:31.66  on you with eyes that see as yours. Are you a body? So is all the  world perceived as treacherous and out to kill.
Tx:31.67  the promise of corruption and the stain of sin upon you? So the  world is seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy place to
Tx:31.70  this will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the  world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you
Tx:31.70  the Aid that God has given you. And in His sight there is another  world.
Tx:31.71 You live in that  world just as much as this. For both are concepts of yourself which
Tx:31.73  you not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the  world instead of as salvation's enemy?
Tx:31.82 Let not the world's light, given unto you, be hidden from the  world. It needs the light, for it is dark indeed, and men despair
Tx:31.84  once again if you would take your place among the saviors of the  world, or would remain in hell and hold your brothers there.
Tx:31.88  His majesty and disappears before His holy sight. The saviors of the  world who see like Him are merely those who chose His strength
Tx:31.88  of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They will redeem the  world, for they are joined in all the power of the Will of God. And
Tx:31.93  of God and power to bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the  world uncertain, lonely, and in constant fear. For it is given you to
Tx:31.93  nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell within a  world whose loveliness can yet be so intense and so inclusive it is
Tx:31.93  there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I bring a vision of a different  world, so new and clean and fresh you will forget the pain and sorrow
Tx:31.94 Let us be glad that we can walk the  world and find so many chances to perceive another situation where
Tx:31.95  And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will echo through the  world with every choice they make. For we are one in purpose, and the

W1:13.7 A meaningless  world engenders fear because I think I am in competition with God.
W1:14.1 The idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless  world is impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And

W1:14.4 With eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the  world that cross your mind. Name each one as it occurs to you, and
W1:14.7  of horrors at which you are looking. These things are part of the  world you see. Some of them are shared illusions, and others are part
W1:14.10 God did not create a meaningless  world. He did not create [specify the situation which is disturbing
W1:16.2  of “idle thoughts.” What gives rise to the perception of a whole  world can hardly be called idle. Every thought you have contributes
W1:17.1  that it is really the other way around. This is not the way the  world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you think. If it
W1:20.1  importance of the reversal of your thinking. The salvation of the  world depends on it. Yet you will not see if you regard yourself as
W1:20.3  a sign that our goal is of little worth. Can the salvation of the  world be a trivial purpose? And can the world be saved if you are
W1:20.3  Can the salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? And can the  world be saved if you are not? God has one Son, and he is the
W1:20.5  see. Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in the  world.
W1:22.1  the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the  world. Having projected his anger onto the world, he sees vengeance
W1:22.1  in his mind must see the world. Having projected his anger onto the  world, he sees vengeance about to strike at him. His own attack is
W1:22.1  attack and counter-attack will preoccupy him and people his entire  world. What peace of mind is possible to him then?
W1:22.3 Look at the  world about you at least five times today, for at least a minute each
W1:22.6 Is this the  world I really want to see?
W1:23.1  way cannot fail. Every thought you have makes up some segment of the  world you see. It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work if
W1:23.1  your thoughts, then, that we must work if your perception of the  world is to be changed.
W1:23.2 If the cause of the  world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these
W1:23.2  thoughts which you do not want. There is no point in lamenting the  world. There is no point in trying to change the world. It is
W1:23.2  in lamenting the world. There is no point in trying to change the  world. It is incapable of change because it is merely an effect. But
W1:23.2  But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about the  world. Here you are changing the cause. The effects will change
W1:23.3 The  world you see is a vengeful world, and everything in it is a symbol
W1:23.3 The world you see is a vengeful  world, and everything in it is a symbol of vengeance. Each of your
W1:23.4 You see the  world which you have made, but you do not see yourself as the
W1:23.4  do not see yourself as the image-maker. You cannot be saved from the  world, but you can escape from its cause. This is what salvation
W1:23.4  from its cause. This is what salvation means, for where is the  world you see when its cause is gone? Vision already holds a
W1:23.5  for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in the  world you see, because its cause can be changed. This change
W1:23.7 I can escape from the  world by giving up attack thoughts about _____.
W1:23.9  periods. We are still at the stage of identifying the cause of the  world you see. When you finally realize that thoughts of attack and
W1:25.2 You perceive the  world and everything in it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These
W1:25.2  this, you will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the  world instead of attempting to reinforce them.
W1:29.3  range. When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the  world, you will understand today's idea perfectly. And you will not
W1:30.1  for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the  world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it
W1:30.2  not like by seeing it outside. Instead, we are trying to see in the  world what is in our minds, and what we want to recognize is there.
W1:31.1  of release. Again, the idea should be applied to both the  world you see without and the world you see within. In applying the
W1:31.1  the idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the  world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of
W1:31.2  times. Then close your eyes and apply the same idea to your inner  world. You will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause
W1:31.3 As you survey your inner  world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your
W1:31.4  of your own freedom. And in your freedom lies the freedom of the  world.
W1:32.1  develop the theme of cause and effect. You are not the victim of the  world you see because you invented it. You can give it up as easily
W1:32.2  periods for today will again include two phases, one involving the  world you see outside you and the other the world you see in your
W1:32.2  one involving the world you see outside you and the other the  world you see in your mind. In today's exercises, try to introduce
W1:32.3  the idea for today two or three times while looking around at the  world you see as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look
W1:32.3  as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner  world. Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the idea
W1:32.5  repeating the idea slowly as you survey either your inner or outer  world. It does not matter which you choose.
W1:33.1  is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the  world in both its outer and inner aspects. A full five minutes should
W1:33.2  an abrupt sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the  world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your eyes and
W1:34.1  It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the  world arises.
W1:34.2  applications should be done with your eyes closed. It is your inner  world to which the applications of today's idea should be made.
W1:35.1  will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this  world to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in
W1:35.1  to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in this  world is because he does not believe it.
W1:37.1 This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the  world or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world through
W1:37.1  in the world or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the  world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed
W1:37.1  is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the  world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from
W1:37.3 Your holiness is the salvation of the  world. It lets you teach the world that it is one with you, not by
W1:37.3 Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you teach the  world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by telling
W1:37.8  may open your eyes again and apply the idea for today to your outer  world if you so desire; you may alternate between applying the idea
W1:38.1 Your holiness reverses all the laws of the  world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance, and
W1:39.3 We have already said that your holiness is the salvation of the  world. What about your own salvation? You cannot give what you do not
W1:39.3  recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the salvation of the  world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole world
W1:39.3  the salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own  world, the whole world stands to benefit.
W1:39.3  the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole  world stands to benefit.
W1:39.4  and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the  world and your own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be
W1:41.1  invented many “cures” for what they believe to be the “ills of the  world.” But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality
W1:41.2  that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the whole  world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it
W1:41.5  to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the  world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear
W1:41.6  helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the  world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to
W1:41.6  and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the  world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying
W1:41.7  In fact it is very easy because it is the most natural thing in the  world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world.
W1:41.7  in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the  world. The way will open if you believe that it is possible. This
W1:43.9  I see through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the  world as blessed. The world can show me myself. I see my own
W1:43.9  see through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The  world can show me myself. I see my own thoughts, which are like
W1:44.4  exercise we will use today is the most natural and easy one in the  world for the trained mind, just as it seems to be the most unnatural
W1:44.10  formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of this  world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the world
W1:44.10  of this world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the  world unless you give them the power to do so.
W1:45.4  attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the  world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world
W1:45.4  the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the  world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world tell
W1:45.4  of the world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the  world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible.
W1:46.1  forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this  world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who
W1:46.1  is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a  world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves
W1:49.1  it or not. It is the other part of your mind that functions in the  world and obeys the world's laws. It is this part which is constantly
W1:49.4  the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane  world. You do not live there. We are trying to reach your real home.
W1:49.5  the idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the  world and realizing that you are inviting God's Voice to speak to you.
W1:50.1  that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this  world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your
W1:50.2  trial and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this  world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport
W1:52.3 [7] I see only the past. As I look about, I condemn the  world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against
W1:53.2 [11] My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless  world. Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything,
W1:53.2  Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the  world which pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this
W1:53.2  which pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this  world is insane, and so is what it produces. Reality is not insane,
W1:53.2  real thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real  world if I look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing.
W1:53.3 [12] I am upset because I see a meaningless  world. Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a world in which
W1:53.3  a meaningless world. Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a  world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a world
W1:53.3  a world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a  world which represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no laws. I
W1:53.3  thinking, and chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in such a  world. I am grateful that this world is not real and that I need not
W1:53.3  I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this  world is not real and that I need not see it at all unless I choose
W1:53.4 [13] A meaningless  world engenders fear. The totally insane engenders fear because it
W1:53.4  is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope. But such a  world is not real. I have given it the illusion of reality, and have
W1:53.4  in reality. In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the  world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist.
W1:53.5 [14] God did not create a meaningless  world. How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it?
W1:53.5 [14] God did not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless  world exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all
W1:53.6  which tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a  world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I
W1:54.2  because all thoughts have power. They will either make a false  world or lead me to the real one. But thoughts cannot be without
W1:54.2  me to the real one. But thoughts cannot be without effects. As the  world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world
W1:54.2  As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real  world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My
W1:54.3  I would not exist, because life is thought. Let me look on the  world I see as the representation of my own state of mind. I know
W1:54.3  I know that my state of mind can change. And so I also know the  world I see can change as well.
W1:54.4  of my seeing. If I have no private thoughts, I cannot see a private  world. Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared before it
W1:54.4  of separation had to be shared before it could form the basis of the  world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also
W1:54.4  so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the  world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as well as
W1:54.6  I would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the  world has been changed. I would behold the proof that what has been
W1:54.6  weeping, and abundance to replace loss. I would look upon the real  world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one.
W1:55.3 [22] What I see is a form of vengeance. The  world I see is hardly the representation of loving thoughts. It is a
W1:55.3  picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the  world and give me the peace God intended me to have.
W1:55.4 [23] I can escape from the  world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and
W1:55.4  and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see a  world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my
W1:55.4  As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a  world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to see in
W1:55.5  I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the  world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me
W1:55.6  to use everyone and everything. It is this that I believe the  world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The
W1:55.6  I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have given the  world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to
W1:56.2  me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a  world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and complete fulfillment
W1:56.2  I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the  world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real
W1:56.3  what I think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The  world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have
W1:56.3  will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the  world and upon myself with charity and love.
W1:56.4 [28] Above all else I want to see differently. The  world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its
W1:56.4  self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the  world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let
W1:56.4  truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this  world be opened for me that I may look past it to the world that
W1:56.4  behind this world be opened for me that I may look past it to the  world that reflects the Love of God.
W1:57.2 [31] I am not the victim of the  world I see. How can I be the victim of a world that can be
W1:57.2  am not the victim of the world I see. How can I be the victim of a  world that can be completely undone if I so choose? My chains are
W1:57.2  open. I can leave it simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this  world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I would give up my
W1:57.3 [32] I have invented the  world I see. I made up the prison in which I see myself. All I need
W1:57.4 [33] There is another way of looking at the  world. Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to
W1:57.4  is another way of looking at the world. Since the purpose of the  world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of
W1:57.4  upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the  world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the world is
W1:57.4  see the world as 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
W1:57.4  is really a place where he can 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
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
W1:57.6  mind is part of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the  world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes
W1:57.6  to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself. The  world I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines
W1:58.2  everything I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real  world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can
W1:58.2  truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the  world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about
W1:58.3 [37] My holiness blesses the  world. The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone.
W1:58.3  my holiness. As I recognize my holiness, so does the holiness of the  world shine forth for everyone to see.
W1:58.5  my salvation. It is also recognizing the salvation of the  world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid.
W1:58.5  share in my understanding, which is the gift of God to me and to the  world.
W1:59.5  God is the Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy  world it will show me.
W1:60.4 [48] There is nothing to fear. How safe the  world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything
W1:60.4  in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear in a  world which I have forgiven and which has forgiven me?
W1:60.6  am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His love lights up the  world for me to see. As I forgive, His love reminds me that His Son
W1:60.6  His love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the  world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son.
W1:61.1 Who is the light of the  world except God's Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the
W1:61.2  It is not humility to insist that you cannot be the light of the  world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is only
W1:61.6 I am the light of the  world. That is my only function. That is why I am here.
W1:61.10 You are the light of the  world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His Son on you.
W1:62.1 It is your forgiveness that will bring the  world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you
W1:62.1  see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the  world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return
W1:62.2 Illusions about yourself and the  world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself.
W1:62.6 Forgiveness is my function as the light of the  world. I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.
W1:63.2 You are indeed the light of the  world with such a function. The Son of God looks to you for his
W1:63.4 The light of the  world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the
W1:63.4  I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of the  world.
W1:64.1  of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.” The purpose of the  world you see is to obscure your function of forgiveness and provide
W1:64.2  therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the  world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what you think
W1:64.3  our last few lessons, your function here is to be the light of the  world, a function given you by God. It is only the arrogance of the
W1:64.9  remember the crucial importance of your function to you and to the  world.
W1:64.12 This is the  world it is my function to save.
W1:65.1  in which you can take your rightful place among the saviors of the  world. This is the only way in which you can say and mean, “My only
W1:67.1  statement of what you are. This is why you are the light of the  world. This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is
W1:68.9  as completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in a  world which protects you and loves you and which you love in return.
W1:69.1  conceal. Because your grievances are hiding the light of the  world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you beside him. But as
W1:69.1  you when you were in hell. He is your brother in the light of the  world which saves you both.
W1:69.2  are literally attempting to get in touch with the salvation of the  world. We are trying to see past the veil of darkness that keeps it
W1:69.6  the importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and the  world, try to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how
W1:69.9  remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the  world from your awareness. Remind yourself also that you are not
W1:69.10 My grievances hide the light of the  world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I want to let it be
W1:69.10  let it be revealed to me for my salvation and the salvation of the  world.
W1:69.12 If I hold this grievance, the light of the  world will be hidden from me,
W1:70.14  charge of your salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the  world. Say, then:
W1:72.8 This is the universal belief of the  world you see. Some hate the body and try to hurt and humiliate it.
W1:73.1  at all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make a  world of illusions in which your belief can be very strong. But they
W1:73.2 Idle wishes and grievances are partners or co-makers in picturing the  world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and the ego's
W1:73.3  and forth and grievances increase with each exchange. Can such a  world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with his
W1:73.3  His Son? Creation is the will of Both together. Would God create a  world that kills Himself?
W1:73.4 Today we will try once more to reach the  world that is in accordance with your will. The light is in it
W1:73.5 Yet the light which shines upon this  world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we will look
W1:73.5  so it must be in you that we will look for it. Your picture of the  world can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor
W1:73.5  without. Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened  world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets
W1:73.5  lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a  world of light.
W1:75.2  of light begins for you and everyone. It is a new era in which a new  world is born. The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing.
W1:75.2  has left no trace upon it in its passing. Today we see a different  world because the light has come.
W1:75.3  No shadows from the past remain to darken our sight and hide the  world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new world as
W1:75.3  hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new  world as what we want to see. We will be given what we desire. We
W1:75.4 Our longer practice periods will be devoted to looking at the  world which our forgiveness shows us. This is what we want to see,
W1:75.4  this. Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real  world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given
W1:75.5 We do not see the ego's shadow on the  world today. We see the light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection
W1:75.5  see the light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection lie across the  world. Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself the glad
W1:75.6 The light has come. I have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.7  and clean of every concept you have made. You have forgiven the  world today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before.
W1:75.8 The light has come. I have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.9  forgiving. Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the  world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you
W1:75.9  for Him. He will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.10  trust in Him. Tell yourself you wait in certainty to look upon the  world He promised you. From this time forth you will see differently.
W1:75.10  will see differently. Today the light has come. And you will see the  world that has been promised you since time began, and in which is
W1:75.12 The light has come. I have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.15  we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real  world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was
W1:75.15  the sight of the real world which has come to replace the unforgiven  world you thought was real.
W1:76.11  this, and realize how foolish are the laws you thought upheld the  world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you
W1:77.3  they belong to you. You have been promised full release from the  world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is
W1:77.4  the rights of everyone. Miracles do not obey the laws of this  world. They merely follow from the laws of God.
W1:77.5  your request is granted. You have asked for the salvation of the  world and for your own. You have requested that you be given the
W1:78.4  him; we will not look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the  world reversed, as we look out toward truth, away from fear.
W1:78.11  the miracle of love the Holy Spirit showed you in their place. The  world and Heaven join in thanking you, for not one thought of God but
W1:78.11  not one thought of God but must rejoice as you are saved and all the  world with you.
W1:79.1  recognize that it has been solved. This is the situation of the  world. The problem of separation, which is really the only problem,
W1:79.2 Everyone in this  world seems to have his own special problems. Yet they are all the
W1:79.4  is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. The  world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each
W1:79.5 No one could solve all the problems the  world appears to hold. They seem to be on so many levels, in such
W1:81.2 [61] I am the light of the  world. How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting
W1:81.2  How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the  world! Let me be still before my holiness. In its calm light, let all
W1:81.4 Let me not obscure the light of the  world in me. Let the light of the world shine through this
W1:81.4  me not obscure the light of the world in me. Let the light of the  world shine through this appearance. This shadow will vanish before
W1:81.5 [62] Forgiveness is my function as the light of the  world. It is through accepting my function that I will see the light
W1:82.2 [63] The light of the  world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My
W1:82.2  forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the  world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by
W1:82.2  forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the  world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is
W1:82.2  light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the  world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the
W1:82.2  the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the  world that it may be healed along with me.
W1:82.4  extend from my mind to yours, [name]. I share the light of the  world with you, [name]. Through my forgiveness I can see this as it
W1:85.2 [69] My grievances hide the light of the  world in me. My grievances show me what is not there and hide from
W1:85.4 Let me not use this as a block to sight. The light of the  world will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I want to
W1:92.7  in love. It sees all others different from itself and nothing in the  world that it would share. It judges and condemns but does not love.
W1:94.1  and entirely undone. You are as God created you. The sounds of this  world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the
W1:94.1  created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this  world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are
W1:94.1  the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this  world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is
W1:94.5  This is the Self which never left its home in God to walk the  world uncertainly. This is the Self which knows no fear nor could
W1:95.17  healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the  world and let the light in you come through to teach the world the
W1:95.17  from the world and let the light in you come through to teach the  world the truth about itself. You are One Self, in perfect harmony
W1:95.19  We need your help, your little part in bringing happiness to all the  world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today.
W1:95.20  you are One Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the  world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today be sure to
W1:96.14  real thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a  world of dreams, to find illusions in their place. Here are your
W1:97.6  of each hour from your hands and carry them around this aching  world, where pain and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one
W1:97.8  the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the  world through Him:
W1:97.9  safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the  world.
W1:98.6  you your full release from pain of every kind and joy the  world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your time for
W1:98.10  with faith and confidence so strong and steady they will light the  world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance to be the glad
W1:98.10  to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the  world today.
W1:99.9  are words in which your freedom lies. Your Father loves you. All the  world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted
W1:100.3  Without your joy, His joy is incomplete. Without your smile, the  world cannot be saved. While you are sad, the light which God Himself
W1:100.3  sad, the light which God Himself appointed as the means to save the  world is dim and lusterless. And no one laughs, because all laughter
W1:100.5  what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you fail to show the  world how great the happiness He wills for you. And so you do not
W1:100.6  function here. If you are sad, your part is unfulfilled and all the  world is thus deprived of joy along with you. God asks that you be
W1:100.6  deprived of joy along with you. God asks that you be happy so the  world can see how much He loves His Son and wills no sorrow rises to
W1:100.9 Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the  world God's Will for us. It is your function that you find it here
W1:100.11  yourself you are essential to God's plan for the salvation of the  world.
W1:104.6 Then lay aside the conflicts of the  world that offer other gifts and other goals made of illusions,
W1:104.6  made of illusions, witnessed to by them, and sought for only in a  world of dreams. All this we lay aside and seek instead that which is
W1:105.1  increase as we receive them. They are not like to the gifts the  world can give, in which the giver loses as he gives the gift; the
W1:105.3  strange distortion of what giving means pervades all levels of the  world you see. It strips all meaning from the gifts you give and
W1:106.3 Be not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the  world; walk lightly past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not.
W1:106.7  today, and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the  world through you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that you
W1:106.10  will begin the ministry for which you came and which will free the  world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world becomes
W1:106.10  free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the  world becomes ready to understand and to receive.
W1:106.12  is kept through your receiving it to give away, so you can teach the  world what giving means by listening and learning it of Him. Do not
W1:107.5  all the seeming difficulties and the doubts that the appearances the  world presents engender. They will merely blow away when truth
W1:107.13  you peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar  world reluctantly.
W1:107.14 And yet you will be glad to look again upon this  world. For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which
W1:107.14  of the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the  world. They will increase with every gift you give of five small
W1:107.14  you give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the  world will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind.
W1:107.15  “Truth will correct all errors in my mind,” you speak for all the  world and Him Who would release the world as He would set you free.
W1:107.15  my mind,” you speak for all the world and Him Who would release the  world as He would set you free.
W1:109.2  and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the  world and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a
W1:109.4 This is the day of peace. You rest in God, and while the  world is torn by winds of hate, your rest remains completely
W1:109.7  wings begins to sing, a stream long dry begins to flow again. The  world is born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you
W1:109.7  and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace of God into the  world that it might take its rest along with you.
W1:109.8 With each five minutes that you rest today the  world is nearer waking. And the time when rest will be the only thing
W1:109.10 Open the temple doors, and let them come from far across the  world, and near as well—your distant brothers and your closest
W1:110.1  to time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and the  world if you believed that it is true. Its truth would mean that you
W1:110.2  accepted as it is. It is enough to let time be the means for all the  world to learn escape from time and every change that time appears to
W1:110.3  no thought but just this one to let redemption come to light the  world and free it from the past.
W1:110.5  miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the  world. Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that
W1:110.8  within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and brother to the  world—the savior who has been forever saved, with power to save
W1:115.2  is my only function here. My function here is to forgive the  world for all the errors I have made. For thus am I released from
W1:115.2  errors I have made. For thus am I released from them with all the  world.
W1:115.3  I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the  world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the world.
W1:115.3  of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the  world.
W1:121.1  the answer to your search for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a  world which seems to make no sense. Here is the way to safety in
W1:121.2  it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the  world. The unforgiving mind is sad, without the hope of respite and
W1:121.4  unforgiving mind sees no mistakes, but only sins. It looks upon the  world with sightless eyes and shrieks as it beholds its own
W1:121.5  offer anything but more despair. Yet it regards its judgment of the  world as irreversible and does not see it has condemned itself to
W1:122.1  of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the  world? Do you want care and safety and the warmth of sure protection
W1:122.3  face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the  world. It lets you recognize the Son of God and clears your memory of
W1:122.6  and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the complexities the  world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the
W1:122.7  again. Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the  world. The world can give no gifts of any value to a mind which has
W1:122.7  Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The  world can give no gifts of any value to a mind which has received
W1:122.8 Open your eyes today, and look upon a happy  world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it
W1:122.12 Before the light you will receive today the  world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world
W1:122.12  the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another  world arise you have no words to picture. Now we walk directly into
W1:122.13  your gifts recede throughout the day, as you return again to meet a  world of shifting change and bleak appearances. Retain your gifts in
W1:123.5  the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not save the  world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may
W1:123.5  who brings His Voice with you and let it echo round and round the  world.
W1:123.6  you, and so they grow in power and in strength until they fill the  world with gladness and with gratitude.
W1:123.7  to you in terms of years for every second, power to save the  world eons more quickly for your thanks to Him.
W1:123.8  thanks for everything He gave His Son that he might rise above the  world remembering his Father and his Self.
W1:124.2  point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the  world a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize
W1:124.7  Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the  world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the
W1:124.7  world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the  world is freed; as we deny our separation from our Father, it is
W1:125.1  Him today. No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the  world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which
W1:125.1  until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which the  world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.
W1:125.2 This  world will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's
W1:125.3  cannot be judged. We stand apart from all the judgments which the  world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will
W1:125.3  the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the  world, but wait in silence for the Word of God.
W1:125.4  His Voice would give to you His holy Word to spread across the  world the tidings of salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather
W1:125.7  for silence, give ten minutes set apart from listening to the  world and choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He
W1:125.9  this to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the  world and free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and
W1:126.1 Today's idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the  world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this course will
W1:126.8  in the idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for the  world.
W1:126.10 In silence close your eyes upon the  world which does not understand forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the
W1:127.5 No laws the  world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the world
W1:127.5 No laws the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the  world believes was made to hide love's meaning and to keep it dark
W1:127.5  and to keep it dark and secret. There is not one principle the  world upholds but violates the truth of what love is, and what you
W1:127.5  truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the  world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and in death.
W1:127.7  every law in which you now believe. Open your mind and rest. The  world that seems to hold you prisoner can be escaped by anyone who
W1:127.10 The  world in infancy is newly born. And we will watch it grow in strength
W1:127.10  to shed its blessing upon all who come to learn to cast aside the  world they thought was made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they
W1:128.1 The  world you see has nothing that you need to offer you, nothing that
W1:128.1  No one but must accept this thought as true, if he would leave this  world behind and soar beyond its petty scope and little ways.
W1:128.2 Each thing you value here is but a chain that binds you to the  world, and it will serve no other end but this. For everything must
W1:128.2  a different purpose there. The only purpose worthy of your mind this  world contains is that you pass it by, without delaying to perceive
W1:128.2  perceive some hope where there is none. Be you deceived no more. The  world you see has nothing that you want.
W1:128.4  your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the  world has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is here to
W1:128.5  we practice letting go all thought of values we have given to the  world. We leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects and its
W1:128.5  Thus do we lift the chains which bar the door to freedom from the  world and go beyond all little values and diminished goals.
W1:128.6 Peace and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the  world when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the
W1:128.7  much as when you looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the  world will shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape
W1:128.7  by just a little every time you let your mind escape its chains. The  world is not where it belongs. And you belong where it would be and
W1:128.7  it would be and where it goes to rest when you release it from the  world. Your Guide is sure. Open your mind to Him. Be still and rest.
W1:128.8  when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the  world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind and tell yourself with
W1:128.9 This will not tempt me to delay myself. The  world I see has nothing that I want.
W1:129.1  the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the idea the  world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else
W1:129.1  you will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the  world but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled
W1:129.1  filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. Think you this  world can offer that to you?
W1:129.2  be worth a little time to think once more about the value of this  world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all
W1:129.2  there is no loss in letting go all thought of value here. The  world you see is merciless indeed, unstable, cruel, unconcerned with
W1:129.2  for a while. No lasting love is found, for none is here. This is the  world of time, where all things end.
W1:129.3 Is it a loss to find a  world instead where losing is impossible, where love endures forever,
W1:129.5 How far away from this are you who stay bound to this  world. And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the world
W1:129.5  to this world. And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the  world you want. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an
W1:129.5  Here can you but look forward, never back to see again the  world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take its place
W1:129.5  never back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the  world that comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from
W1:129.5  to take its place as you unbind your mind from little things the  world sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them not, and they
W1:129.6  What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This  world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead
W1:129.8 Beyond this  world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world instead of
W1:129.8 Beyond this world there is a  world I want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is
W1:129.8 Beyond this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that  world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want.
W1:129.9 Then close your eyes upon the  world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are
W1:129.9  and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this  world light one by one until where one begins, another ends, losing
W1:129.10  bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the  world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet
W1:129.12 The  world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a
W1:129.12 The world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this  world there is a world I want.
W1:129.12  world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a  world I want.
W1:130.1  to see, believing what you see is really there. No one can see a  world his mind has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look
W1:130.2  what he does not want to have reality? And who can choose to see a  world of which he is afraid? Fear must make blind, for this its
W1:130.3 What, then, can fear project upon the  world? What can be seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed
W1:130.4  and the multitude of differences you believe make up the  world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made them up. Yet love
W1:130.6 Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The  world you see is proof you have already made a choice as
W1:130.8 Begin your searching for the other  world by asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognize what it
W1:130.8  five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty treasures of this  world. You wait for God to help you as you say:
W1:130.9  Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this  world that I may find my freedom and deliverance.
W1:131.4  you came, and you will surely do the thing you came for. But the  world cannot dictate the goal for which you search unless you give it
W1:131.4  Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that lies beyond the  world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you from an
W1:131.8 Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange  world you made and all its ways—its shifting patterns and uncertain
W1:131.11  three times today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real  world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true
W1:131.13 I ask to see a different  world and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The
W1:131.13  world and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The  world I seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I want to think are
W1:131.14  your mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless  world you think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are
W1:131.14  real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a  world and which you think are true. Then let them go, and sink below
W1:131.16  of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the  world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew and
W1:131.17  find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of the  world, which ends together as you pass beyond the door.
W1:131.18  is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for the  world. If you forget this happy fact, remind yourself with this:
W1:132.1 What keeps the  world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except
W1:132.1  keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the  world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you
W1:132.1  are as strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman thinks the  world he sees is real and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by
W1:132.3  The present now remains the only time. Here in the present is the  world set free. For as you let the past be lifted and release the
W1:132.3  future from your ancient fears, you find escape and give it to the  world.
W1:132.4 You have enslaved the  world with all your fears, your doubts and miseries, your pain and
W1:132.4  because you hold the bitter thought of death within your mind. The  world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. And what
W1:132.5 Perhaps you think you did not make the  world but came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting
W1:132.5  you found exactly what you looked for when you came. There is no  world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate
W1:132.5  release. Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the  world must change accordingly.
W1:132.6  lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the  world you see and that it changes as you change your mind. But it is
W1:132.6  change your mind. But it is pride that argues you have come into a  world quite separate from yourself, impervious to what you think, and
W1:132.7 There is no  world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach. Not
W1:132.8  healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no  world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the
W1:132.8  rise to teach it. Others find it in experience that is not of this  world, which shows them that the world does not exist because what
W1:132.8  in experience that is not of this world, which shows them that the  world does not exist because what they behold must be the truth, and
W1:132.8  they behold must be the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the  world. And some will find it in this course and in the exercises that
W1:132.9 Today's idea is true because the  world does not exist. And if it is indeed your own imagining, then
W1:132.10  and no time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a  world of time and place exist if you remain as God created you?
W1:132.11  another way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the  world? To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change
W1:132.11  that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? To free the  world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about
W1:132.11  kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no  world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and
W1:132.11  ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the  world within your mind in thought.
W1:132.12  does not share His timelessness and love. Are these inherent in the  world you see? Does it create like Him? Unless it does, it is not
W1:132.12  it does, it is not real and cannot be at all. If you are real, the  world you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the world in
W1:132.12  real, the world you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the  world in every way. And as it was His thought by which you were
W1:132.13 Release the  world! Your real creations wait for this release to give you
W1:132.14 There is no  world because it is a thought apart from God and made to separate the
W1:132.14  away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a  world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny
W1:132.14  accept the truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying  world. Release your mind, and you will look upon a world released.
W1:132.14  laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you will look upon a  world released.
W1:132.15 Today our purpose is to free the  world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it and about all
W1:132.15  us along with them. And we who are as He created us would loose the  world this day from every one of our illusions that we may be free.
W1:132.17 I who remain as God created me would loose the  world from all I thought it was. For I am real because the world is
W1:132.17  loose the world from all I thought it was. For I am real because the  world is not, and I would know my own reality.
W1:132.18  no strain, and let your mind in quietness be changed so that the  world is freed along with you.
W1:132.19  need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the  world as well as to the ones you see near by as you send out these
W1:132.19  the ones you see near by as you send out these thoughts to bless the  world. But you will sense your own release, although you may not
W1:132.20  the day, increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the  world, and say whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your
W1:132.21 I loose the  world from all I thought it was and choose my own reality instead.
W1:133.2  to bodily concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as valued by the  world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This course does not
W1:133.2  does not try to substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the  world contains.
W1:133.3 There are no satisfactions in the  world. Today we list the real criteria by which to test all things
W1:134.7  is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the  world. It sees their nothingness and looks right through the thousand
W1:134.10  is. Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth, between the  world you see and that which lies beyond, between the hell of guilt
W1:134.13 Forgiveness must be practiced, for the  world cannot perceive its meaning nor provide a guide to teach you
W1:134.13  a guide to teach you its beneficence. There is no thought in all the  world which leads to any understanding of the laws it follows nor the
W1:134.13  it follows nor the thought which it reflects. It is as alien to the  world as is your own reality. And yet it joins your mind with the
W1:134.17  them, but realize that you are using his “offenses” but to save the  world from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you
W1:135.3 The  world is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its
W1:135.3  all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. For no one walks the  world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.
W1:135.21  will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the  world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our brothers lay aside
W1:135.28  that comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the  world will take this giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with
W1:136.8  for an instant truth arises in your own deluded mind and all your  world appears to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick that
W1:137.2  by a solid wall of sickened flesh which it cannot surmount. The  world obeys the laws that sickness serves, but healing operates apart
W1:137.5  but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real  world will arise to take the place of what has never been at all,
W1:137.6  anti-Christ becomes more powerful than Christ to those who dream the  world is real. The body seems to be more solid and more stable than
W1:137.7 Just as forgiveness shines away all sin and the real  world will occupy the place of what you made, so healing must replace
W1:137.9 Healing, forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the  world of sorrow for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means
W1:137.9  forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a  world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the Holy
W1:137.10  recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to all the  world when you let healing come to you. But you are never healed
W1:137.13  is to let our minds be healed that we may carry healing to the  world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation
W1:137.15  healed, I am not healed alone. And I would share my healing with the  world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of God's one Son,
W1:138.1 In this  world, Heaven is a choice because here we believe there are
W1:138.2  creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in some form the  world can understand. Truth cannot come where it could only be
W1:138.6 In this insanely complicated  world, Heaven appears to take the form of choice rather than merely
W1:139.6  is the depth of madness. Yet it is the universal question of the  world. What does this prove except the world is mad? Why share its
W1:139.6  the universal question of the world. What does this prove except the  world is mad? Why share its madness in the sad belief that what is
W1:139.6  in the sad belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the  world believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home
W1:139.13  let your mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which the  world would weave around the holy Son of God. And learn the fragile
W1:140.1 Cure is a word that cannot be applied to any remedy the  world accepts as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic
W1:140.1  be applied to any remedy the world accepts as beneficial. What the  world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the body
W1:140.3  dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the  world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The dreams forgiveness
W1:140.7  to what is sick so that it can be cured. There is no remedy the  world provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that
W1:R4.12  and of happiness for us and through our faithfulness restored the  world from darkness to the light, from grief to joy, from pain to
W1:144.2 [128] The  world I see has nothing that I want.
W1:145.1 [129] Beyond this  world there is a world I want.
W1:145.1 [129] Beyond this world there is a  world I want.
W1:146.2 [132] I loose the  world from all I thought it was.
W1:151.2 You do not seem to doubt the  world you see. You do not really question what is shown you through
W1:151.3  witness never falser was than this. But how else do you judge the  world you see? You place pathetic faith in what your eyes and ears
W1:151.10  be judge as well of everything that seems to happen to you in this  world. His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between
W1:151.11  in change, the pure in sin, and only Heaven's blessing on the  world.
W1:151.12  is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and the  world, past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as
W1:151.16  your Eastertide. And so you lay the gift of snow-white lilies on the  world, replacing witnesses to sin and death. Through your
W1:151.16  witnesses to sin and death. Through your transfiguration is the  world redeemed and joyfully released from guilt. Now do we lift our
W1:151.17  remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we give thanks the  world unites with us and happily accepts our holy thoughts which
W1:151.17  made pure. Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the  world the joyous news that truth has no illusions and the peace of
W1:152.1  your wish, and nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your  world, complete in all details. Here is its whole reality for you.
W1:152.6 Is it not strange that you believe to think you made the  world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of this you can be sure.
W1:152.6  that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a  world where such things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only
W1:152.6  things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness makes a  world like this.
W1:153.1 You who feel threatened by this changing  world, its twists of fortune and its bitter jests, its brief
W1:153.1  it merely lends to take away again, attend this lesson well. The  world provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and all its “gifts”
W1:153.2 The  world gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger
W1:153.4  to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. The sense of threat the  world encourages is so much deeper and so far beyond the frenzy and
W1:153.7  fearful image you believe you see at work in all the evils of the  world? What but illusions could defend you now, when it is but
W1:153.8  play such childish games today. For our true purpose is to save the  world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless joy our
W1:153.9  chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the  world.
W1:153.11  teach what you have learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the  world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light has come to
W1:153.13  to hope, abandoned by your Father, left alone in terror in a fearful  world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now
W1:153.14  the story ended. Let this day bring the last chapter closer to the  world that everyone may learn the tales he reads of terrifying
W1:153.16  Sometimes we will forget. At other times the business of the  world will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little
W1:153.18  moment, even though your time is spent in offering salvation to the  world. Think you He will not make this possible for you who chose to
W1:153.18  for you who chose to carry out His plan for the salvation of the  world and yours?
W1:154.4  Voice of God of Father and of Son that sets apart salvation from the  world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey,
W1:154.4  salvation from the world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the  world does not obey, which promises salvation from all sin, with
W1:154.6  the role of Heaven's messengers which sets them off from those the  world appoints. The messages which they deliver are intended first
W1:154.15 The  world recedes as we light up our minds and realize these holy words
W1:155.1 There is a way of living in the  world that is not here, although it seems to be. You do not change
W1:155.1  forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the  world as you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet
W1:155.2 The  world is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for
W1:155.4 If truth demanded they give up the  world, it would appear to them as if it asked the sacrifice of
W1:155.4  of something that is real. Many have chosen to renounce the  world while still believing its reality, and they have suffered from
W1:155.4  not been released accordingly. Others have chosen nothing but the  world, and they have suffered from a sense of loss still deeper,
W1:155.13 Your feet are safely set upon the way that leads the  world to God. Look not to ways which seem to lead you elsewhere.
W1:156.1  this be true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the  world alone and separate from your Source?
W1:156.2  nor be in parts uncertain and in others sure. You cannot walk the  world apart from God because you could not be without Him. He is what
W1:156.4  a Light in you Which cannot die, Whose Presence is so holy that the  world is sanctified because of you. All things that live bring gifts
W1:156.6  As you step back, the Light in you steps forward and encompasses the  world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In
W1:156.9 I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the  world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with
W1:157.4  in still anticipation and in quiet joy wherein you quickly leave the  world behind.
W1:157.6  now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the  world. We cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a
W1:157.6  that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which the  world is quietly forgot and Heaven is remembered for a while.
W1:157.7  increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the  world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of
W1:158.2 You have received all this. No one who walks the  world but has received it. It is not this knowledge which you give,
W1:158.6 Here is the joining of the  world of doubt and shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet
W1:158.6  shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the  world made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are all
W1:158.8  all who would achieve it. It requires but the recognition that the  world cannot give anything that faintly can compare with this in
W1:159.1  you have it in your own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and the  world agree. But here they also separate. The world believes that to
W1:159.1  laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The  world believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation
W1:159.3  been kept obscure. Christ's vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a  world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored
W1:159.3  God created perfect can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the  world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real
W1:159.3  world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real  world pictures Heaven's innocence.
W1:159.5  worlds. And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this  world into one made holy by forgiveness. Things which seem quite
W1:159.7 Here does the  world remember what was lost when it was made. For here it is
W1:159.8  roots. This is their home. They can be brought from here back to the  world, but they can never grow in its unnourishing and shallow soil.
W1:159.9  lilies do not leave their home when they are carried back into the  world. Their roots remain. They do not leave their source, but carry
W1:159.9  leave their source, but carry its beneficence with them and turn the  world into a garden like the one they came from and to which they go
W1:159.10  way He has established. Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven  world. It is His gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from
W1:160.2  so foreign to the truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a  world truth does not know, and understands what truth regards as
W1:160.9 Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the  world for what belongs to Him. His vision sees no strangers, but
W1:161.1  and anger had prevailed before. Here is Atonement made complete, the  world passed safely by, and Heaven now restored. Here is the answer
W1:161.2  fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the partial  world you see. The purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish
W1:162.1 This single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the  world. From time to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage
W1:162.1  words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the  world you made. By them it disappears, and all things seen within its
W1:162.2  might. They are the trumpet of awakening that sounds around the  world. The dead awake in answer to its call. And those who live and
W1:162.3  sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He will save the  world because he gives the world what he receives each time he
W1:162.3  truth before him always. He will save the world because he gives the  world what he receives each time he practices the words of truth.
W1:162.4  places all His gifts and all His Love to be distributed to all the  world, increased in giving, kept complete because its sharing is
W1:162.5  for who could cherish sin when holiness like this has blessed the  world? Who could despair when perfect joy is yours, available to all
W1:162.6  night, and darkness is no more. The light is come today to bless the  world, for you have recognized the Son of God, and in your
W1:164.1  as represented there. He hears the sounds the senseless busy  world engenders, yet He hears them faintly, for beyond them all He
W1:164.2 The  world fades easily away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A
W1:164.2  before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far beyond the  world increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient call to
W1:164.3  hears. How quiet is the time you give to spend with Him beyond the  world. How easily are all your seeming sins forgot and all your
W1:164.3  grief laid by, for sights and sounds which come from nearer than the  world are clear to you who will today accept the gifts He gives.
W1:164.4 There is a silence into which the  world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your
W1:164.5  of judgment left to Him Who judges true. And in His judgment will a  world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will you see
W1:164.6 Brothers, this day is sacred to the  world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things within the
W1:164.6  world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things within the  world, looks back on them in a new light. And what you see becomes
W1:164.6  new light. And what you see becomes the healing and salvation of the  world. The valuable and valueless are both perceived and recognized
W1:164.7  We will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the  world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our
W1:164.7  our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the  world forgiven in our own.
W1:164.8 We bless the  world as we behold it in the light in which our Savior looks on us
W1:164.8  of salvation. He has need of your most holy mind to save the  world.
W1:164.9  you receiving your consent and your acceptance. We can change the  world if you acknowledge them. You may not see the value your
W1:164.9  them. You may not see the value your acceptance gives the  world. But this you surely want—you can exchange all suffering for
W1:165.1 What makes this  world seem real except your own denial of the truth which lies
W1:165.6  to heal as you were healed. For now you are among the saviors of the  world. Your destiny lies there and nowhere else. Would God consent to
W1:166.2 Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the  world. This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet
W1:166.2 Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. This  world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who
W1:166.2  He wills. Impossible indeed, but every mind that looks upon the  world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and true believes
W1:166.3  their presence, contradict the truth, and suffer to preserve the  world he made.
W1:166.4  Here is the only safety he believes that he can find. Without the  world he made is he an outcast, homeless and afraid. He does not
W1:166.5  God is with him, and a treasure his so great that everything the  world contains is valueless before its magnitude.
W1:166.15  He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the  world.
W1:167.2 In this  world there appears to be a state that is life's opposite. You call
W1:168.4 God loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this  world will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but
W1:168.4  an instant later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the  world in love and watch fear disappear from every face as hearts rise
W1:169.1  It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the  world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for
W1:169.2 Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a  world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and fear are
W1:169.2  are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the  world contains that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of
W1:169.2  whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace cannot believe the  world of fear is real.
W1:169.6  merely disappeared into His Father, as his Father has in him. The  world has never been at all. Eternity remains a constant state.
W1:169.9 There is no need to further clarify what no one in the  world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it will
W1:169.12  a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant back to bless the  world? How could you finally attain to it forever while a part of you
W1:169.14 Our learning goal today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the  world, what could be more than what we ask this day of Him Who gives
W1:170.12  with you. This time you leave it here. And you return to a new  world unburdened by its weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes but
W1:170.14  in us for there is none in You. Your peace is ours. And we bless the  world with what we have received from You alone. We choose again and
W1:R5.11  I need—that you will hear the words I speak and give them to the  world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I
W1:R5.11  are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I save the  world. The Self from Which I call to you is but your own. To Him we
W1:R5.12  but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed to claim the  world. And we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every
W1:R5.12  we knew before illusion seemed to claim the world. And we remind the  world that it is free of all illusions every time we say,
W1:181.9  as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless  world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is all we
W1:181.9  own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the  world and in ourselves.
W1:181.10 The  world which once proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are
W1:182.1 This  world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your
W1:182.3 We speak today for everyone who walks this  world, for he is not at home. He goes uncertainly about in endless
W1:182.6  unheard amid the grating sounds and harsh and rasping noises of the  world. Yet does He know that in you still abides His sure protection.
W1:182.7  again where He does not belong and where He lives an outcast in a  world of alien thoughts. His patience has no limits. He will wait
W1:182.8 When you are still an instant, when the  world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in
W1:183.1  identity. Your Father's Name reminds you who you are, even within a  world that does not know; even though you have not remembered it.
W1:183.3 Repeat God's Name and all the  world responds by laying down illusions. Every dream the world holds
W1:183.3  and all the world responds by laying down illusions. Every dream the  world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and where it seemed to stand
W1:183.3  and the tears of pain are dried as happy laughter comes to bless the  world.
W1:183.8  of those who call on Him with names of idols cherished by the  world. They cannot reach Him thus. He cannot hear requests that He be
W1:183.10  experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the  world and give the world the same release you found. You can remember
W1:183.10  gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the world and give the  world the same release you found. You can remember what the world
W1:183.10  give the world the same release you found. You can remember what the  world forgot and offer it your own remembering. You can accept today
W1:184.3 What are these names by which the  world becomes a series of discrete events, of things un-unified, of
W1:184.6 This is the sum of the inheritance the  world bestows. And everyone who learns to think that it is so accepts
W1:184.6  think that it is so accepts the signs and symbols which assert the  world is real. It is for this they stand. They leave no doubt that
W1:184.7 Such is the teaching of the  world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must go through.
W1:184.7  does he question its effects. Learning which stops with what the  world would teach stops short of meaning. In its proper place, it
W1:184.7  a new perception can be gained, and all the arbitrary names the  world bestows can be withdrawn as they are raised to doubt.
W1:184.8 Think not you made the  world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond
W1:184.9  indeed be strange if you were asked to go beyond all symbols of the  world, forgetting them forever; yet were asked to take a teaching
W1:184.9  to take a teaching function. You have need to use the symbols of the  world a while. But be you not deceived by them as well. They do not
W1:184.9  them. They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the  world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where
W1:184.10  what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the  world becomes a transitory phase—a prison house from which you go
W1:184.10  to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the  world which darkness rules.
W1:184.11 Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the  world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy
W1:184.11  Source Which unifies all things within Itself. Use all the names the  world bestows on them but for convenience, yet do not forget they
W1:184.12  is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the  world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is
W1:185.2  words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to look upon the  world you see around you to be sure how very few they are. The world
W1:185.2  the world you see around you to be sure how very few they are. The  world would be completely changed should any two agree these words
W1:186.1  as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's plan to save the  world, restoring it to Heaven's peace.
W1:186.7  not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it go. Salvation of the  world depends on you and not upon this little pile of dust. What can
W1:186.10  concentrated drive toward goals like these? The functions which the  world esteems are so uncertain that they change ten times an hour at
W1:186.13  and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a  world of form.
W1:186.14  has been restored to you is greater still. Salvation of the  world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your function here.
W1:187.1  possess what you would give. It is the second phase on which the  world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the
W1:187.1  the world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the  world asserts that you have lost what you possessed. The truth
W1:187.3  first belong to you before you give them. If you are to save the  world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not
W1:187.5  they cannot be lost. There is no giver and receiver in the sense the  world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains, another who
W1:187.11 Now are we blessed, and now we bless the  world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it
W1:188.1  is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the  world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The
W1:188.3  of God is shining in you now and from your heart extends around the  world. It pauses to caress each living thing and leave a blessing
W1:188.4 The shining in your mind reminds the  world of what it has forgotten, and the world restores the memory to
W1:188.4  in your mind reminds the world of what it has forgotten, and the  world restores the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates
W1:188.4  in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to offer to the  world.
W1:188.6  alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer  world and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the
W1:188.9  that share our life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the  world of what we thought it did to us. For it is we who make the
W1:188.9  the world of what we thought it did to us. For it is we who make the  world as we would have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid
W1:189.1 There is a light in you the  world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light,
W1:189.1  its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the  world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to look upon.
W1:189.1  we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the  world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with
W1:189.2 Who could feel fear in such a  world as this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and sings
W1:189.3 This is the  world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you
W1:189.3  is the world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the  world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear that one
W1:189.3  one can be perceived at all. The other one is wholly meaningless. A  world in which forgiveness shines on everything and peace offers its
W1:189.3  its gentle light to everyone is inconceivable to those who see a  world of hatred, rising from attack, poised to avenge, to murder and
W1:189.4 Yet is the  world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel
W1:189.4  unseen and inconceivable to those who feel God's Love in them. Their  world reflects the quietness and peace that shines in them, the
W1:189.5  hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful  world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you
W1:189.5  fingers. If you feel the Love of God within you, you look out upon a  world of mercy and of love.
W1:189.7  you are and what God is, all concepts you have learned about the  world, all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of
W1:189.7  nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this  world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your
W1:189.9  His love shines outward from its home within and lightens up the  world in innocence.
W1:189.10  that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the  world, that it becomes a part of Heaven now. Amen.
W1:190.5  oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is nothing in the  world which has the power to make you ill or sad or weak or frail.
W1:190.6 My holy brothers, think of this awhile—the  world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely
W1:190.7 The  world may seem to cause you pain. And yet the world, as causeless,
W1:190.7 The world may seem to cause you pain. And yet the  world, as causeless, has no power to cause. As an effect, it cannot
W1:190.8  to triumph over love and time replace eternity and Heaven. And the  world becomes a cruel and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and
W1:190.11  instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of the  world.
W1:191.1 Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the  world. And here as well is all the world released. You do not see
W1:191.1  of release from bondage of the world. And here as well is all the  world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the
W1:191.1  world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the  world the role of jailer to the Son of God. What could it be but
W1:191.2 What have you done that this should be your  world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your own
W1:191.5  find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above the  world and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from
W1:191.5  out the way to happiness that changed his whole perception of the  world.
W1:191.6  with this holy thought, you learn as well that you have freed the  world. You have no need to use it cruelly and then perceive this
W1:191.6  You will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the  world in terror with the world twisting in agony because your fears
W1:191.6  a devastating image of yourself walking the world in terror with the  world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of
W1:191.10  death echoed since time began. For time has lost its hold upon the  world. The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save
W1:191.10  in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give the  world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark
W1:191.10  and to give the world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the  world as dark and sinful when God's Son has come again at last to set
W1:191.11  game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a  world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy will
W1:191.12  from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes return again to bless the  world he made. In error it began. But it will end in the reflection
W1:191.12  Then join with me today. Your glory is the light that saves the  world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look about the world, and
W1:191.12  saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look about the  world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to
W1:191.13  stay in chains till you are free. They cannot see the mercy of the  world until you find it for yourself. They suffer pain until you have
W1:191.13  life. You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the  world is free. Remember this and earth and Heaven are one.
W1:192.1  God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean within a  world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a function in
W1:192.1  of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a function in the  world in its own terms. For who can understand a language far beyond
W1:192.3 Creation cannot even be conceived of in the  world. It has no meaning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can come
W1:192.4  all things unknown in Heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the  world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of God can now
W1:192.8  time in keeping watch on him. The bars which limit him become the  world in which the jailer lives, along with him. And it is on his
W1:193.3  holy law of Love be given form in which it could be offered to the  world. And He created One Who could perceive what form this law
W1:193.9  of fear. These are the words by which salvation comes to all the  world.
W1:193.17  go with it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the  world of time. This is the lesson God would have you learn: there is
W1:193.17  that lets it be to you another step to Him and to salvation of the  world.
W1:194.2  about by guilt. Accept today's idea, and you have released the  world from all imprisonment by loosening the heavy chains that locked
W1:194.2  You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you give the  world because you have received.
W1:194.4  They are one to Him, and so they should be one to you. Yet in this  world the temporal progression still seems real. And so you are not
W1:194.5  the light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the  world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made
W1:194.5  to bless the world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a  world made free with him to share his holiness.
W1:194.6  way of quick reaction to temptation, you extend your learning to the  world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the
W1:194.6  world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the  world perceive that it is saved.
W1:194.7  pain has found his way to present peace and certainty of care the  world can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be
W1:194.8  your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love. Think you the  world could fail to gain thereby and every living creature not
W1:194.8  healed perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the  world within the hands to which he has himself appealed for comfort
W1:194.8  for comfort and security. He lays aside the sick illusions of the  world along with his and offers peace to both.
W1:194.9  choice for us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the  world our enemy, for we have chosen that we be its friends.
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a lesson hard to learn for those who look upon the  world amiss. The most that they can do is see themselves as better
W1:195.1  to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the  world.
W1:196.9  for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the  world and need not fear its vengeance and pursuit. Nor need you hide
W1:197.3 The  world must thank you when you offer it release from your illusions.
W1:198.7 This  world has many seeming separate haunts where mercy has no meaning and
W1:198.12  condemnation in God's Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the  world forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the face
W1:198.13 Now is there silence all around the  world. Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush
W1:199.5  There is no thought that will not gain thereby in power to help the  world, and none which will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We
W1:199.5  added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the  world with this idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of
W1:199.8  you for today. Your brothers stand released with you in it; the  world is blessed along with you; God's Son will weep no more, and
W1:200.4  no meaning to you, though you sought to make them meaningful. This  world is not where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is
W1:200.4  a stranger here. But it is given you to find the means whereby the  world no longer seems to be a prison house for you or anyone.
W1:200.5  iron doors. For you must change your mind about the purpose of the  world if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the world
W1:200.5  the world if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the  world is seen by you as blessed and everyone made free of your
W1:200.7  except the peace of God because He has one Son, who cannot make a  world in opposition to God's Will and to his own, which is the same
W1:200.7  own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in such a  world? It cannot have reality because it never was created. Is it
W1:200.7  he would seek for peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it, the  world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another way and
W1:200.8 Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross to leave this  world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as
W1:200.8  will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the  world perceived as different and leading from this fresh perception
W1:200.9  the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a  world apart from God where bodies have reality.
W1:200.11  be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the  world of ambiguity and to replace our shifting goals and solitary
W1:R6.1  truly. Each would be enough to give release to you and to the  world from every form of bondage and invite the memory of God to come
W1:R6.5  or we remember in between we have a function that transcends the  world we see. Beyond this and a repetition of the special thought we
W1:R6.11  each practice period can best become a loving gift of freedom to the  world.
W1:204.1  that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the  world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and forever one with
W1:206.1 [186] Salvation of the  world depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts of God because I
W1:207.1 [187] I bless the  world because I bless myself. God's blessing shines upon me from
W1:212.1  function that would set me free from all the vain illusions of the  world. Only the function God has given me can offer freedom. Only
W2:I.1  remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the  world of pain and go to enter peace. Now we begin to reach the goal
W2:I.6  holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to leave the  world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given us by You. We
W2:I.6  gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's vision we behold a  world beyond the one we made and take that world to be the full
W2:I.6  vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and take that  world to be the full replacement of our own.
W2:224.1  from guilt that Heaven looks to it to give it light. It lights the  world as well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I
W2:224.1  well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I give the  world. There is no gift but this that can be either given or
W2:224.2  or what it is I do. Remind me, Father, now, for I am weary of the  world I see. Reveal what You would have me see instead.
W2:226.1 If I so choose, I can depart this  world entirely. It is not death which makes this possible, but it is
W2:226.1  this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the  world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still
W2:226.1  it now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the  world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search
W2:WS.3  is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the  world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not
W2:WS.5 From here we give salvation to the  world, for it is here salvation was received. The song of our
W2:WS.5  was received. The song of our rejoicing is the call to all the  world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and God's
W2:WS.5  Father is remembered, dreams are done, eternity has shined away the  world, and only Heaven now exists at all.
W2:237.1  I will arise in glory and allow the light in me to shine upon the  world throughout the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation
W2:237.1  light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I bring the  world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my Father speaks to
W2:237.1  that I hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the  world that Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream
W2:240.1  have seen yourself as you could never be and therefore look upon a  world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It
W2:240.1  look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this  world is true. It does not matter what the form in which it may
W2:WIW.1 The  world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left
W2:WIW.1  of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness will the  world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to truth,
W2:WIW.1  in quite another light, and one which leads to truth, where all the  world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its source has
W2:WIW.2 The  world was made as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is
W2:WIW.2  It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's absence? Thus the  world was meant to be a place where God could enter not and where His
W2:WIW.3  given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the  world was made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions
W2:WIW.4  be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the  world. Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His
W2:WIW.4  Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light and see the  world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to
W2:WIW.5 Let us not rest content until the  world has joined our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied
W2:WIW.5  And let us not attempt to change our function. We must save the  world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ,
W2:241.1  special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the darkened  world where its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass
W2:241.1  away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a  world set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They
W2:242.1 I will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the  world. And so to try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness.
W2:245.2 And so we go in peace. To all the  world we give the message that we have received. And thus we come to
W2:249.1 Forgiveness paints a picture of a  world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible, and anger
W2:249.1  What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The  world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving.
W2:252.1  Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the  world but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond this
W2:252.1  but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond this  world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God!
W2:253.1  that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this  world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire.
W2:253.1  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 my holy
W2:258.1  grace to shine in unawareness while the toys and trinkets of the  world are sought instead? God is our only goal, our only Love. We
W2:264.2  This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will save the  world along with us?
W2:265.1 I have indeed misunderstood the  world because I laid my “sins” on it and saw them looking back at me.
W2:265.1  And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the  world instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the
W2:265.1  feared was in the world instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the  world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There
W2:265.1  appearance of my “sins” obscure the light of Heaven, shining on the  world. What is reflected here is in God's Mind. The images I see
W2:265.2 In quiet would I look upon the  world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as well. Let me
W2:266.2  has given us! How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the  world with those who point to Him and given us the sight to look on
W2:267.1  of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the  world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath
W2:269.1  illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a  world forgiven in which everyone shows me the face of Christ and
W2:270.1  all that the body's eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven  world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more
W2:270.1  the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and gracious is this  world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give.
W2:270.1  Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. The  world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his
W2:270.2  is our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the  world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy Son
W2:WIC.4  appointed 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
W2:271.1  witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the  world and God's creation meet, and as they come together, all
W2:271.1  together, all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the  world from death. For nothing that He looks on but must live,
W2:275.2  what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the  world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice
W2:278.1 If I accept that I am prisoner within a body in a  world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my
W2:278.1  prisoner with me. And this do I believe when I maintain the laws the  world obeys must I obey—the frailties and the sins which I perceive
W2:282.1  could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the  world. This the decision not to be insane and to accept myself as God
W2:283.2  so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the  world, which our forgiveness has made one with us.
W2:289.1 Unless the past is over in my mind, the real  world must escape my sight. For I am really looking nowhere, seeing
W2:289.1  nowhere, seeing but what is not there. How can I then perceive the  world forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this
W2:289.1  forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this the  world that can be looked on only now. It has no past. For what can be
W2:289.2  not there. For You have offered me Your own replacement in a present  world the past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of
W2:WIRW.1 The real  world is a symbol like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it
W2:WIRW.1  offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your  world is seen through eyes of fear and brings the witnesses of terror
W2:WIRW.1  of fear and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real  world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so
W2:WIRW.1  be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a  world where terror is impossible and witnesses to fear cannot be
W2:WIRW.2 The real  world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your
W2:WIRW.2  world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your  world, a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle
W2:WIRW.2  correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your  world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently,
W2:WIRW.2  of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real  world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a
W2:WIRW.2  sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a  world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace.
W2:WIRW.3  to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge against? The  world it sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No danger
W2:WIRW.4 The real  world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over and God's
W2:WIRW.4  his Father's Love, the certain promise that he is redeemed. The real  world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes time
W2:WIRW.5  our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we look upon a  world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home,
W2:291.1  all things forgiven and at peace and offers this same vision to the  world. And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for
W2:291.1  And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the  world as well. What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we
W2:293.1  present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. Can the  world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming with all my past
W2:293.1  in the present, love is obvious and its effects apparent. All the  world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world
W2:293.1  the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a  world forgiven at last.
W2:293.2 Father, let not Your holy  world escape my sight today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns
W2:293.2  today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the  world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real world
W2:293.2  the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real  world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I
W2:293.2  present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this  world before my eyes today.
W2:295.1 Christ asks that He may use my eyes today and thus redeem the  world. He asks this gift that He may offer peace of mind to me and
W2:295.1  as they are removed from me, the dreams that seemed to settle on the  world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the world is
W2:295.1  on the world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the  world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together. Fear
W2:296.1 The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the  world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word through me. I am
W2:296.1  apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. I would be savior to the  world I made. For having damned it, I would set it free that I may
W2:296.2  to rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade the  world through us to seek and find the easy path to God!
W2:297.1  who would be saved, would make it mine to be the way I live within a  world that needs salvation and that will be saved as I accept
W2:300.2 We seek Your holy  world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But
W2:300.2  to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks today the  world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny
W2:WISC.2  nature of Christ's Second Coming that permits it to embrace the  world and hold you safe within its gentle advent, which encompasses
W2:301.1  Nor can I suffer pain or feel I am abandoned and unneeded in the  world. This is my home because I judge it not. And therefore is it
W2:301.1  eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your  world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten,
W2:301.1  forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your  world today.
W2:301.2 God's  world is happy. Those who look on it can only add their joy to it and
W2:301.2  them. We wept because we did not understand. But we have learned the  world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's world today.
W2:301.2  have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's  world today.
W2:302.1 Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy  world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We
W2:302.1  for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy  world today that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but
W2:304.1 I can obscure my holy sight if I intrude my  world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon
W2:304.1  I look on is my state of mind reflected outward. I would bless the  world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look
W2:304.2  sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus receive salvation for the  world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son
W2:305.1  so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless that the  world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this
W2:305.1  no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this peace. And all the  world departs in silence as this peace envelops it and gently carries
W2:305.1  no more to be the home of fear. For Love has come and healed the  world by giving it Christ's peace.
W2:306.1  vision would I use today when it can offer me a day in which I see a  world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I
W2:306.1  Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the  world I made. Today I can go past all fear and be restored to love
W2:306.1  and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed and born anew into a  world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.
W2:308.1  a past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the  world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And love is
W2:308.2  You have appointed for Your Son's release and for salvation of the  world in him.
W2:310.2 We spend this day together, you and I. And all the  world joins with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who
W2:WILJ.1  this the judgment is in which perception ends. At first you see a  world which has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected
W2:WILJ.2 The final judgment on the  world contains no condemnation. For it sees the world as totally
W2:WILJ.2  judgment on the world contains no condemnation. For it sees the  world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless.
W2:WILJ.2  there it ends as well. And all the figures in the dream in which the  world began go with it. Bodies now are useless and will therefore
W2:WILJ.3 You who believed that God's Last Judgment would condemn the  world to hell along with you, accept this holy truth: God's Judgment
W2:WILJ.4  Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the  world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set it free.
W2:312.1  what you have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real  world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy
W2:312.2 I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated  world, set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is
W2:313.1  it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of Christ look on a  world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees
W2:313.2  and how loving! Brother, come and join with me today. We save the  world when we are joined. For in our vision it becomes as holy as the
W2:314.1 From new perception of the  world there comes a future very different from the past. The future
W2:318.1  holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's plan to save the  world. What could conflict when all the parts have but one purpose
W2:318.1  placed in me. I was created as the thing I seek. I am the goal the  world is searching for. I am God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am
W2:319.2  stems from it shares its totality. What aim but the salvation of the  world could You have given me? And what but this could be the will my
W2:320.2 Your Will can do all things in me and then extend to all the  world as well through me. There is no limit on Your Will. And so all
W2:321.2 Today we answer for the  world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our
W2:323.1  “cost” of restoration of Your memory to me for the salvation of the  world.
W2:325.1  real, and guarded as one's own. From insane wishes comes an insane  world. From judgment comes a world condemned. And from forgiving
W2:325.1  own. From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes a  world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes
W2:325.1  comes a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle  world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a
W2:331.1  love me, Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within a  world of pain and cruelty. How could I think that Love has left
W2:332.2 We would not bind the  world again today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has
W2:333.2  but this can end our evil dreams. No light but this can save the  world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to
W2:338.1 It needs but this to let salvation come to all the  world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from

M:11.1  the world God loves, and yet His Word assures us that He loves the  world. God's Word has promised us that peace is possible here, and
M:11.1  what He promises can hardly be impossible. But it is true that the  world must be looked at differently if His promises are to be

M:11.2  is more likely to be true. For they say different things about the  world, and things so opposite that it is pointless to try to
M:11.2  that it is pointless to try to reconcile them. God offers the  world salvation; your judgment would condemn it. God says there is no

M:13.2  takes great learning both to realize and to accept the fact that the  world has nothing to give. What can the sacrifice of nothing mean? It

M:13.3  for the mind to understand that all the “pleasures” of the  world are nothing. But what a sacrifice—and it is sacrifice indeed
M:13.4 God's teachers can have no regret on giving up the pleasures of the  world. Is it a sacrifice to give up pain? Does an adult resent the
M:13.4  back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has escaped the  world and all its ills looks back on it with condemnation. Yet he
M:13.5  must be paid for the denial of truth. There is no pleasure of the  world that does not demand this, for otherwise the pleasure would be
M:13.6  yet, and they can but turn to you. There is no other hope in all the  world that they can trust. There is no other voice in all the world
M:13.6  the world that they can trust. There is no other voice in all the  world that echoes God's. If you would sacrifice the truth, they stay
M:13.7  God has no exceptions. It is this that makes it holy and beyond the  world. It is its holiness that points to God. It is its holiness that
M:13.8  is for you. Your learning claims it, and your learning gives it. The  world contains it not, but learn this course and it is yours. God
M:14.1 Can what has no beginning really end? The  world will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an
M:14.1  all evil, concealing all sin, and ending guilt forever. So ends the  world that guilt had made, for now it has no purpose and is gone. The
M:14.2 Until forgiveness is complete, the  world does have a purpose. It becomes the home in which forgiveness

M:14.2  teachers answer, turning to Him in silence to receive His Word. The  world will end when all things in it have been rightly judged by His
M:14.2  when all things in it have been rightly judged by His judgment. The  world will end with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not one
M:14.2  of holiness upon it. When not one thought of sin remains, the  world is over. It will not be destroyed nor attacked nor even
M:14.3  in which unity is restored. It goes against all the thinking of the  world, but so does Heaven.
M:14.4 The  world will end when its thought system has been completely reversed.

M:15.1  him. Time pauses as eternity comes near, and silence lies across the  world that everyone may hear this judgment of the Son of God:
M:15.2  free, and whole, at peace forever in the Heart of God. Where is the  world and where is sorrow now?
M:15.3  and thus delay this Final Judgment. What is your judgment on the  world, teacher of God? Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear
M:15.4  longer. God's judgment waits for you to set you free. What can the  world hold out to you, regardless of your judgments on its gifts,
M:15.4  It is your function to hold it to your heart and offer it to all the  world to keep it safe.
M:16.11 Is not this an exchange that you would want? The  world would gladly make it if it knew it could be made. It is God's
M:17.9  to your own interpretation which you have projected on an outside  world. Let this grim sword be taken from you now. There is no death.
M:18.2  now speak of the reality of the Son of God. Now He can remind the  world of sinlessness, the one unchanged, unchangeable condition of
M:18.3  and meaningless. Correction has one answer to all this and to the  world that rests on this:
M:18.4  God reigns forever, and His laws alone prevail upon you and upon the  world. His love remains the only thing there is. Fear is illusion,
M:19.1  for injustice. Injustice is the basis for all the judgments of the  world. Justice corrects the interpretations to which injustice gives
M:19.1  Heaven, for error is impossible and correction meaningless. In this  world, however, forgiveness depends on justice since all attack can
M:19.1  can only be unjust. Justice is the Holy Spirit's verdict upon the  world. Except in His judgment, justice is impossible, for no one in
M:19.1  Except in His judgment, justice is impossible, for no one in the  world is capable of making only just interpretations and laying all
M:19.3  body's eyes, distorts perception and brings witness of the distorted  world back to the mind that made the lens and holds it very dear.

M:19.5  been lost has now been found. The peace of God descends on all the  world and we can see. And we can see!
M:20.1 It has been said that there is a kind of peace that is not of this  world. How is it recognized? How is it found? And being found, how

M:22.1  of Atonement. It is the one complete concept possible in this  world, because it is the source of a wholly unified perception.
M:23.1  most advanced of God's teachers will give way to temptation in this  world. Would it be fair if their pupils were denied healing because
M:23.2  who has perfectly accepted the Atonement for himself can heal the  world. Indeed, he has already done so. Temptation may recur to
M:23.4  as such is but a symbol. But it stands for love that is not of this  world. It is a symbol that can safely be used as a replacement for
M:25.2  Communication is not limited to the small range of channels the  world recognizes. If it were, there would be little point in trying
M:25.2  to teach salvation. It would be impossible to do so. The limits the  world places on communication are the chief barrier to direct
M:25.2  without them the walls that surround all the separate places of the  world would fall at the holy sound of His Voice. Who transcends these
M:25.5 Even those who no longer value the material things of the  world may still be deceived by “psychic” powers. As investment has
M:25.6  usefulness. Salvation has need of all abilities, for what the  world would destroy, the Holy Spirit would restore. “Psychic”

M:27.6  can die? The inconsistencies, the compromises, and the rituals the  world fosters in its vain attempts to cling to death and yet to think
M:28.1  reawakening or a rebirth, a change of mind about the meaning of the  world. It is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit's interpretation of
M:28.2  death, being the assertion of life. Thus is all the thinking of the  world reversed entirely. Life is now recognized as salvation, and
M:28.2  disappeared, and the remembrance of God shines unimpeded across the  world. Christ's face is seen in every living thing, and nothing is

C:2.10  love? Would you expect any decent human being to look on a loveless  world, on misery and despair, and not be moved? Think not that those
C:2.14  incorrectly? What risk in attempting to see anew? What would a  world without misery be but heaven?
C:2.17  the stronghold of the ego. Your thought system is what has made the  world you see, the ego its constant companion in its construction.
C:3.4 You are not form, nor is your real  world. You seek the face of God in form as you seek for love in form.
C:3.6  In Jesus Christ, the Son of God became the son of man. He walked the  world with a face much like your own, a body with two legs and two
C:3.7  form. You give all meaning to everything, and thus you populate your  world with angels and with demons, their status determined by who
C:3.7  denigrates you. In all scenarios you remain the maker of your  world, giving it its causes and effects. If this can be so, how can
C:3.7  giving it its causes and effects. If this can be so, how can the  world be anything but symbolic, with each symbol's meaning chosen by
C:3.10  a thought, a conception. Everything that has been manifested in your  world was first conceived within the mind. While you know this is
C:3.11 What has this meant for learning that is not of this  world? It means that you filter it through the same lens. You think

C:3.17 Our hearts, in contrast, go out to the  world, to the suffering, to the weak of body and of mind. Our hearts

C:4.20 A thing set apart from the madness of the  world is useful now. It may not be what love is, but what love is has
C:4.20  guided you in choosing to set love apart from what you call the real  world, from that which is, in fact, the sum total of what you have
C:4.20  that which is, in fact, the sum total of what you have made. The  world you struggle so to navigate is what you have made it, a place
C:4.20  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 you are at home
C:4.21  lucky ones among you have made a place resembling home within your  world. It is where you keep love locked away behind closed doors. It
C:4.21  closed doors. It is where you return after your forays into the  world that you have made and upon entering believe you leave the
C:4.21  intent upon retiring to this safe place you have made of love in a  world of madness, and hope that you will live to see the day when you
C:4.22  semi-happy dream have earned the right to turn their backs upon the  world even for the scanty hours that they make believe they can do
C:4.22  they make believe they can do so. Full-scale interaction with the  world of madness is all that some are willing to accept of others or
C:4.24  it not set apart from life any longer. Love cannot be brought to the  world of madness, nor the world of madness brought to love. But love
C:4.24  any longer. Love cannot be brought to the world of madness, nor the  world of madness brought to love. But love can allow a new world to
C:4.24  nor the world of madness brought to love. But love can allow a new  world to be seen, a world that will allow you to abide within love's

C:4.25  would a world of love make to those who lock their doors upon the  world? How vast the reaches where their world of love could extend
C:4.25  lock their doors upon the world? How vast the reaches where their  world of love could extend once love joined the world. How little
C:4.25  reaches where their world of love could extend once love joined the  world. How little need for the angry ones to retain their anger when
C:4.25  for the angry ones to retain their anger when love has joined the  world. For love does join the world, and it is within this joining
C:4.25  their anger when love has joined the world. For love does join the  world, and it is within this joining that love abides, holy as itself.
C:4.26 The  world is but a reflection of your inner life, the reality unseen and
C:4.26  joining that occurs within that brings about the joining of all the  world for all the world to see. This joining of the world within is
C:4.26  within that brings about the joining of all the world for all the  world to see. This joining of the world within is but your
C:4.26  of all the world for all the world to see. This joining of the  world within is but your recognition of what love is, safe and secure
C:4.26  will bring you comfort if you heed them, one more sentiment in a  world where lovely words replace what they would mean. This joining
C:4.27  here, a goal that touches not on what you perceive to be a loveless  world. It has no relation to the world outside of you, but every
C:4.27  what you perceive to be a loveless world. It has no relation to the  world outside of you, but every relation to the world within, where
C:4.27  no relation to the world outside of you, but every relation to the  world within, where in love's presence both outer and inner worlds
C:4.27  and inner worlds become as one and leave beyond your vision the  world that you have seen and called your home. This foreign world
C:4.27  the world that you have seen and called your home. This foreign  world where you have been so lonely and afraid will linger for a

C:5.2  that is real, rejoice that there is a way to end this chaos. The  world you see is chaos and nothing in it, including your thoughts,
C:5.5  is not concerned with any of the specific details or forms of your  world. You think relationship exists between one body and another,
C:5.7  object of your affection. Love is set apart in a frame not of this  world. You hold objects up to capture it, to put a frame around
C:5.9  urge to preserve things is but your urge to leave a mark upon the  world, a mark that says, “I have acquired much in my time here. These
C:5.9  much in my time here. These things I love are what I leave the  world, what I pass down; they declare that I was here.” Again you
C:5.10  With understanding they can begin to bring sanity to an insane  world.
C:5.13  and fall of many armies. What armies of destruction will rock the  world when they are brought to love?
C:5.14 Within you is all the  world safe, sure, and secure. No terror reigns. No nightmares rule
C:5.15  the one that nonetheless is truly real. To look inward at the real  world requires another kind of vision: the vision of your heart, the
C:5.16  garbage and crime, or cornfields growing, you say that is the real  world. It is the world you go out into in order to earn your living,
C:5.16  or cornfields growing, you say that is the real world. It is the  world you go out into in order to earn your living, receive your
C:5.16  your mate. But the home in which you stand, much like your inner  world, is where you live the life that makes the most sense. It is
C:5.16  within and it is real, as real as the home you have made within the  world seems to be. You can say the real world is somewhere outside
C:5.16  you have made within the world seems to be. You can say the real  world is somewhere outside yourself, as you picture the real world
C:5.16  real world is somewhere outside yourself, as you picture the real  world being beyond your doors, but saying this cannot make it so.
C:5.17 It is your continuing desire to have a relationship only with the  world without that causes such a world to remain. This is because
C:5.17  have a relationship only with the world without that causes such a  world to remain. This is because your definition of relationship is
C:5.18 You thus become a body moving through a  world of illusion where nothing is real and nothing is happening in
C:5.18  nothing is real and nothing is happening in truth. This illusionary  world is full of things you have told yourself and been instructed
C:5.18  becomes. All that would join with you and become part of the real  world of your creation remains beyond your reach.
C:5.19 There is nothing in your  world that cannot be made holy through relationship with you, for you
C:5.21  ability to choose that which you make real in your creation of the  world. The only meaning possible for free will is this: what you
C:5.22  vain or that a simple solution exists. A simple solution within your  world, a solution that requires no exertion on your part, is seen to
C:5.23  your control is what to work hard to obtain. If you let all the  world recede and concentrate on this one choice, you reason that you
C:5.23  is the extent of your faith in your own ability to maneuver this  world that you have made; and if you finally do succeed, your faith
C:5.28 For every joining, every union that you enter into, your real  world is increased and what is left to terrify you decreased. This is
C:5.30  of God. You can accept terror that reigns in another part of the  world because you feel no relationship to it. It is only in
C:5.31  were so, you would be joined to all you come in contact with and the  world would be heaven indeed, as all you see became blessed by your
C:5.31  you see became blessed by your holiness. That you move through your  world without relating to it in any way is what causes your
C:5.32  for each of you has had at least one that was a shining light in a  world of darkness. A day in which the sun shone on your world and you
C:5.32  light in a world of darkness. A day in which the sun shone on your  world and you felt part of everything. Every tree and every flower
C:5.32  with what you see. This awaits you as you place no judgment on the  world, and in so doing join with everything and extend your holiness
C:5.32  in so doing join with everything and extend your holiness across a  world of grief, causing it to become a world of joy.
C:5.32  extend your holiness across a world of grief, causing it to become a  world of joy.
C:6.1  the truly real, is relationship. You must forgive God for creating a  world in which you cannot be alone. You must forgive God for creating
C:6.2  of your days but you cannot make it possible. Why not forgive the  world for being other than what you have thought it to be and begin
C:6.2  it to be and begin to learn what it really is? This is what the  world is here for. And when you have learned what it would teach you,
C:6.3  is all that the words and symbols and forms and structures of your  world have come to teach you, stated as simply and directly as is
C:6.7 The fact that you are not alone in the  world shows you that you are not meant to be alone. Everything here
C:6.10  stoke its fire lest it go out and leave you to a warmth not of this  world. This is the warmth that you would have, warmth so
C:6.10  and this is what makes them desirable to you. A warmth not of this  world, given freely, with no work involved, causes you to shake your
C:6.10  Perhaps later. Maybe when you are old and have grown weary of the  world. Then perhaps you will sit in the sun.
C:6.11  would be for the old and the infirm, the ones ready to leave the  world, those who have already grown worn out from it. What fun would
C:6.12  and so you scream at the unfairness when a young one leaves the  world. Heaven is not for the young, you say. How unfair that those
C:6.15  concept to them as is a life of peace to you. What is foreign to the  world has changed, but the world has not. Those who live with war
C:6.15  of peace to you. What is foreign to the world has changed, but the  world has not. Those who live with war seek peace. Those who live
C:6.15  way, both are saying this: you seek to make sense of an insane  world, to find meaning within meaninglessness, purpose among the
C:6.17  still to welcome the peace of dying. Those who could not change the  world one iota through their constant effort, in peace create the
C:6.17  world one iota through their constant effort, in peace create the  world anew.
C:6.18  takes not time nor money nor the sweat of their brow to change the  world: it takes only love. A forgiven world is whole, and in its
C:6.18  of their brow to change the world: it takes only love. A forgiven  world is whole, and in its wholeness one with you. It is here, in
C:6.20  your relationships with those you love severed when they leave this  world? Do you not still think of them? And do you not still think of
C:6.22 The  world cannot fail to disappoint you, for your conception of it is
C:6.22  to shine, for all are here to aid you. This is the purpose of the  world and of love most kind: to end your self-deception and return
C:7.1  come to fruition and succeed in getting desirable things within this  world. “I had that idea,” you lament when another succeeds where you
C:7.1  if not for the unfairness of life,” you wail. Your mind dwells in a  world of its own made up largely of if onlys. Your heart, on the
C:7.1  on the other hand, knows of giving and of a return not based on the  world of your mind or of physical circumstance. Despite
C:7.3  thing this and one thing that—is the basis of all learning in your  world. It is based on contrast and opposites and on separating into
C:7.3  individuals, pieces of land, systems and organizations, the natural  world and the mechanistic world, heaven and earth, divine and human.
C:7.3  systems and organizations, the natural world and the mechanistic  world, heaven and earth, divine and human.
C:7.4 In order to identify yourself in this  world, you have had to withhold a piece of yourself and say of this
C:7.5  piece of yourself separate. Like the love you set aside from this  world, this thought too is one that can be used, for it recognizes
C:7.5  that can be used, for it recognizes that you are as apart from this  world as love is. The harsh realities of the world may claim your
C:7.5  are as apart from this world as love is. The harsh realities of the  world may claim your body and your time, but this one piece of
C:7.7 Rejoice that there is something in this  world that you will not bargain with, something you hold sacrosanct.
C:7.9  and see the effects that this withholding has upon yourself and the  world that seems to hold you separate. This is, indeed, the first and
C:7.9  the first and most general lesson in regard to withholding: The  world does not keep you separate. You keep yourself separate from the
C:7.9  does not keep you separate. You keep yourself separate from the  world. This is what has made the world the world it is. What you
C:7.9  You keep yourself separate from the world. This is what has made the  world the world it is. What you withhold allows illusion to rule and
C:7.9  separate from the world. This is what has made the world the  world it is. What you withhold allows illusion to rule and truth to
C:7.9  wind sweeps through your heart, and all the love you have denied the  world will be released. It will flow in every direction, leaving not
C:7.11  but two forms of withholding: what you withhold of yourself from the  world and what you withhold for yourself from the world. A grievance
C:7.11  yourself from the world and what you withhold for yourself from the  world. A grievance is something you have chosen for yourself, a piece
C:7.15  for yourself at another's expense is indeed withholding, and in your  world you know not how to claim anything for yourself without
C:7.15  thankful for these things with which you can demand ransom of the  world, for without them you would be the one called upon to pay.
C:7.16 These are examples of what you withhold from the  world for yourself. But what of that which you withhold from the
C:7.16  the world for yourself. But what of that which you withhold from the  world of yourself? Both these things are much the same in truth, for
C:7.16  buy you love or the success you seek. What you withhold from the  world you withhold from yourself, for you are not separate from the
C:7.16  world you withhold from yourself, for you are not separate from the  world. In every situation what you would keep is what you will not
C:7.21  tell you, the evidence you have relied upon to make sense of your  world. Those who have developed reliance on ways of knowing not
C:8.6  feeling is shut down all at once. As with everything else in this  world, you strive for a balance that allows your heart to beat at one
C:8.21  observe, by the sheer magnitude of all that with you occupies the  world. Some days this will make you feel like one of many, a tiny
C:8.21  days you will feel quite superior, the ultimate achievement of the  world and all its years of evolution. There are days you will feel
C:8.28 How can it be that you move through the same  world day by day in the same body, observing many situations like
C:8.29  the next day see through the deception. And so one day lived in your  world is misery incarnate and the next a thing of joy.
C:9.7  choose to share. Alongside these desires it is easy to see how a  world such as that of the body developed. Alongside the desire to
C:9.9  the conflicting desires you chose to let lead you to this strange  world. You travel lightly now where before you walked in chains. You
C:9.13  your entire problem: You do not allow anything that exists in your  world, including yourself, to be what it is.
C:9.15  They are really the same but they wear different faces to the  world. If, for the purposes of our discussion, the body is the
C:9.19 It has been said often that cause and effect are one in truth. The  world you see is the effect of fear. Each one of you would have
C:9.34  God gave you is what has allowed you to make of yourself and your  world what you will. Now you look upon this world with guilt and see
C:9.34  of yourself and your world what you will. Now you look upon this  world with guilt and see it as evidence of your evil nature. It
C:9.34  that of royal inheritor would be if you could fix yourself and the  world, restoring it to a previous condition that you imagine you
C:9.35  you will not feel the gentle touch of forgiveness upon you and your  world. While there is no need in truth for this forgiveness, as there
C:9.37 You have placed limits on all things in your  world, and it is these limits of usefulness that would block your
C:9.42  your body places upon you? The same question can be asked of this  world you see as home to the body. Which is master and which is slave
C:9.43 Use, in any form, leads to bondage, and so to perceive a  world based on use is to see a world where freedom is impossible.
C:9.43  to bondage, and so to perceive a world based on use is to see a  world where freedom is impossible. What you think you need your
C:9.43  body can be traded for so much. It is no secret that you live in a  world of supply and demand. From the simple concept of individuals
C:9.44  The individual with issues of abuse would do a service to the  world if the people in it were to understand what that abuse is a
C:9.46  forces? Forces beyond your control? Why did not God create a  world benign and unable to harm you?
C:9.47 Such is the  world that God did create: A world so lovely and so peaceful that
C:9.47 Such is the world that God did create: A  world so lovely and so peaceful that when you see it once again you
C:9.47  will stand out clearly here, and never again will you doubt that the  world that God created belongs to you and you to it.
C:9.49 Attempts to modify the behavior of abuse are near to useless in a  world based on use. The foundation of the world must change, and the
C:9.49  are near to useless in a world based on use. The foundation of the  world must change, and the stimulus for this change lies within you.
C:9.50 How different would the  world be if you would but attempt for one day to replace use with
C:12.1  technical term, and say this is the stuff that binds the  world together in unity, it would be easier for you to accept. If I
C:12.2  been said before. This message was preached long ago and still the  world remains the same. How could this be the correct answer when
C:12.3  evidence? Your own failure to be happy and the unhappiness of the  world you see.
C:12.7  endless sleep. If you but understood the energy required to keep the  world of your illusion in its place, you would understand the rest
C:12.10  it lies a contradiction, the one contradiction that has created the  world you see and the life you live. Although it is impossible for
C:12.24 Yet while the son's extension into an external  world is quite real, it is all that is truly real within it. The son
C:14.1  of remembering who you are within God's creation, rather than in the  world that you have made. Think but a minute of this, and you will
C:14.4  death your creator God provided you with a paradise not of this  world, a separate place to honor your specialness and separation from
C:14.5 Would this make sense? What creator would create a  world in which the highest achievement of the life upon it would be
C:14.5  be to leave it in order to gain life? What creator would create a  world not meant to exist in harmony? Harmony is life. What creator
C:14.9  for love gives reason its foundation. The foundation of your insane  world is fear. The foundation of Heaven, your true home, is love. The
C:14.9  is fear. The foundation of Heaven, your true home, is love. The same  world based upon these different foundations could not help but look
C:14.12  is a classic example that reveals much to you about yourself and the  world you have made if you are but willing to look at it with eyes
C:14.12  see. It is the magnifying glass that will allow you to see your  world in all its mad confusion. For what caused you such great joy
C:14.13  to feel this way. This was not the love that passes for love in this  world, but something else entirely. For at least one brief moment,
C:14.13  can be the cause of joy, nor offer a haven of safety in an insane  world.
C:14.15  keep. This makes perfect sense to you because the foundation of your  world is fear. Were the foundation of your world love, everything
C:14.15  the foundation of your world is fear. Were the foundation of your  world love, everything that you consider valuable you could not wait
C:14.16  stand with it, the cornerstone of the foundation of your separate  world. You do not realize that you have created a universe for
C:14.16  that were you to perish something quite unique would be lost to the  world? You are alone and irreplaceable: one of a kind. Within you lie
C:14.24  have ascribed it to be. The purpose you give each thing within your  world is what makes it what it is to you. And as each purpose you
C:14.24  to anything proceeds from the foundation of fear that built your  world, each purpose is as senseless and as reversed from the truth as
C:14.30 In your  world love has no meaning unless it is attached to a particular
C:14.30  upon this simple fact, you have no hope of change, nor does your  world. You who think, “What harm can come of loving this one above
C:15.1  and receive specialness is the driving desire of your life, and the  world you see but reflects this desire. Love's opposite would not
C:15.1  all that would make special. You think issues of survival rule the  world—and so they do, but they would not if it were not for your
C:15.2  harm is there in specialness? Only all the harm you see within the  world.
C:15.4  think you special and to make them special to you. Out in the wider  world you think you are anonymous and so are they. If within the
C:15.8  it, and its attainment has been the cause of much suffering in your  world. This banding together for support against fear simply makes
C:15.9  learning goals this Course has set is but an act of treason upon the  world as you know it.
C:15.11  you are and the hope your brother has placed in you as savior of the  world.
C:16.7  is expended, for constant judgment is required to maintain the  world you see. The Holy Spirit can replace your specialness with a
C:16.8  lead you to the forgiveness that must overcome judgment. A forgiven  world is a world whose foundation has changed from fear to love. Only
C:16.8  the forgiveness that must overcome judgment. A forgiven world is a  world whose foundation has changed from fear to love. Only from this
C:16.8  world whose foundation has changed from fear to love. Only from this  world can your special function be fulfilled and bring the light to
C:16.9  that you may give it and henceforth look upon the forgiven  world with love.
C:16.10  you yearn for it. This is what the split mind would call reason—a  world in which there are two sides to everything and two sides that
C:16.13  seems impossible to you because you look upon an unforgiven  world where evil walks, danger lurks, and nowhere is safety to be
C:16.16 Your judgment has not made the  world a better place! If history proves anything, it proves the
C:16.22 What misery the  world has suffered in the name of judgment, power, and justice. What
C:16.23  is simply the right to be who you are, and there is nothing in the  world that has the power to take this right from you. The only way
C:16.25  what you have used your power for. You know your power created the  world of illusion in which you live, and so you think another must be
C:17.5  to you your willingness to accept the bad about yourself and your  world. And so this assumption that what is unknown must be bad cannot
C:17.5  of your knowing because the reason that you use is loyal to the  world you see. This is why even Heaven, which you would label good,
C:17.5  defined it as lacking much of what you have judged to be good in the  world you now perceive.
C:18.5  the place I hold for you, as you held mine when I entered the  world in physical form. Even if it is just an illustration, it
C:18.7  no possibility of misinterpretation, because there was no external  world to be perceived. A learning device, when not perceived as such,
C:18.8 An external  world is but a projection that cannot take you away from the internal
C:18.8  is but a projection that cannot take you away from the internal  world where you exist in wholeness, a link in the chain of creation.
C:18.8  but what this Course's exercises have attempted to help you see: a  world you can observe and learn in and from, for as long as you would
C:18.9  choose to learn. For proof of this all you need do is look at the  world that was created from your wish to learn what the idea of
C:18.9  you. When you resided in unity, you could not imagine what this  world would be like any more than you can now imagine what a united
C:18.9  world would be like any more than you can now imagine what a united  world will be like. You did not understand, from unity's standpoint,
C:19.1  free will. A separate self with a free will operating in an external  world, as well as a spirit self desiring the experience of
C:19.2 The complex set of criteria needed to create a  world of separation was, in the instant of creation, anticipated and
C:19.2  and provided in a form consistent with creation's laws. While this  world was created with love, as all of creation was, it was also
C:19.4  and that is why you are still needed here. Beneath the  world of illusion that you have made to glorify the separated self
C:19.4  illusion that you have made to glorify the separated self lies the  world that was created for your learning, and that so exists in
C:19.4  for your learning, and that so exists in truth. It is not the only  world by any means, but it is still heaven because heaven must be
C:19.4  to abandon all ideas of glorifying the separated self and to let the  world be what it is will begin the transformation. This requires the
C:19.23  to be right-minded. The way you have perceived of yourself and your  world until now has not been right-minded, and you are beginning to
C:20.2  assure you that it will be all right. Realize that this is the whole  world, the universe, the all of all in whose embrace you literally
C:20.4  in solitude, the grace of the cosmos. Our heart is the light of the  world.
C:20.6  the soul's delight, rather than otherness. It is a seamless  world, a tapestry where each thread is vibrant and strong. A canticle
C:20.10  you in arms that hold you close, you feel the heartbeat of the  world just beneath your resting head. It thunders in your ears and
C:20.10  you until there is no distinction. We are the heartbeat of the  world.
C:20.14  man Jesus no longer sounded. My heartbeat was the heartbeat of the  world.
C:20.15  None are passive. None are dead. All share the heartbeat of the  world and are at rest within each other, within each other's embrace
C:20.15  creation, God's heartbeat. God's heartbeat is the Source of the  world, the Soul of the world, the Sound of the world in harmony,

C:20.17 The  world does not exist apart from you, and so you must realize your
C:20.17  from you, and so you must realize your compassionate connection. The  world is not a collection of cement buildings and paved streets nor
C:20.17  lives within you, sharing the one heartbeat. The heartbeat of the  world does not exist apart from God. The heartbeat of the world is
C:20.17  of the world does not exist apart from God. The heartbeat of the  world is thus alive and part of you. This heart connection is what we
C:20.17  is what we seek to return you to. This realization that the  world is not a thing, as you are not a thing. Your identity is shared
C:20.19 Have you never felt as if you would wrap your arms around the  world and bring it comfort if you could? This you can do. Not with
C:20.19  but with the arms of love. Have you never cried for the state of the  world as you would for one small child in need of love? Has the world
C:20.19  the world as you would for one small child in need of love? Has the  world then not lost its thingness? And has it not as well lost its
C:20.19  being? A thing? A mass of flesh and bone? Or are you, like the  world you cry for, devoid of thingness and a personal self? And when

C:20.34  only because you have been out of accord with the one heartbeat. The  world, the universe, is your partner—and only now do you hear the

C:20.45  only you and your peacefulness, but will bring peacefulness to the  world as well.
C:20.46  begin to resist the notion that you could have anything to do with  world peace, realize that you naturally have reacted with resistance.

C:22.7  of intersection is simply meant to represent the point where the  world intersects with you—where your path crosses that of others,
C:22.9  through that creates the intersection. Everything within your  world and your day must pass through you in order to gain reality.
C:22.9  of this, use the words I have provided: everything within your  world. In the act of pass-through you assign meaning to everything
C:22.9  the act of pass-through you assign meaning to everything within your  world. The meaning you assign becomes the reality of the object you
C:22.10 Further, it is the part of you through which everything within your  world passes and your awareness of it that determines the meaning you

C:22.16  to such a halt and examined apart from everything else within your  world. Anyone wanting to learn anything about you would be wiser to
C:22.16  about you would be wiser to observe you as you are within your  world. Would you still be the same person in a laboratory? Are you
C:22.17  is the scenario that separates you from everything else within your  world. Everything has meaning only according to what it means to you
C:22.20  at its intersection with you. Begin to imagine seeing the  world without the emphasis on your personal self. Begin to form
C:22.20  pronoun. This will seem, at first, as if it is depersonalizing the  world and making it less intimate. It will seem as if you are
C:22.23  see your “self” as an integral part of all that exists within your  world rather than as the small and insignificant personal self you
C:23.9  think of this example. Now imagine communities of faith. Around the  world, people are united in belief, and not only in religious
C:23.13  cause this to be so. It is what is necessary now. It will change the  world.
C:23.18  can lead the way in changing how you perceive of yourself and the  world around you.
C:26.12  been doing? Have you not grown weary of what passes for life in your  world? Have you not wished you could throw out all the thoughts and
C:27.6  stated that relationship is the only “known” in an unknowable  world. We have already stated that the only being who is not beyond
C:27.11  here is not just so that you can better understand yourself or your  world, or even so that you can bring Heaven to Earth. Although these
C:27.18  of all things mean that you will have power that is not of this  world? Will you see the future and the past, be cognizant of destiny
C:27.18  of destiny and of fate? You do have power that is not of this  world, but this does not mean power as you see it here, the power of
C:29.8  the center, the core of unity, your accomplishment goes out to the  world, as mine once did.
C:29.10  Your work is that of creation. Your creation is your service to the  world as your Father's work is his service to you. As you cannot
C:30.2  you learn in order to contribute something to your work and your  world, you bypass your Self.
C:30.3  take on a new focus. Be like the little children, and inhale the  world around you in order to make it part of your Self. Be like the
C:30.7 This  world as you perceive of it is built around the foundation of fear, a
C:30.13  as is all creation. We, all of us together, are the heartbeat of the  world. Without unity we would not be. Without our Source, which is
C:31.8 The rest of your  world imitates truth as well. You live on one world, one planet, one
C:31.8 The rest of your world imitates truth as well. You live on one  world, one planet, one Earth. You may live on different continents,
C:31.9  has made you and no other being less consequential. All over the  world people of good faith fight to save even one life. Each life is
C:31.36  good or bad, for either you or them or both. Since you live in a  world of such extreme uncertainty, one of your highest requirements
C:32.1  remember who you are. As we have stated repeatedly, the form of your  world in many ways reflects the content of who you are. It also
T1:2.7  that they have learned by using their skills and knowledge in the  world for even greater rewards. These rewards have further emphasized
T1:2.16  to a desire to eat an evening meal. It signals change in the natural  world around you. Birds and squirrels and flowers too have a reaction
T1:2.17  is a fact of your existence as a human being, a part of the natural  world, a gift of the Creator. Secondly, it is experienced
T1:2.17  It speaks to you and you to it. It binds you to the natural  world and to the present but also to the higher world and the
T1:2.17  you to the natural world and to the present but also to the higher  world and the eternal. It binds you to all those who have and will
T1:3.9  likely to fear the consequences. These are not consequences for the  world you fear, but consequences for yourself. If you requested a
T1:3.18  the consequences of what any miracle would have on the rest of the  world. If you were to ask for a life to be spared, how would you know
T1:3.20  of it leads you to ideas of magic and power that is not of this  world and thus that must have a dark side as well as a light. Here
T1:4.10  You thus have thought it is your responsibility to care for the  world outside of yourself rather than for your Self.
T1:4.13  from within. Responsibility is all about dealing with an outside  world. While both may result in the same or similar actions does not
T1:7.1 Suffering is seen as a condition of this  world because the world is seen as a world in which who you are can

T1:7.1  is seen as a condition of this world because the world is seen as a  world in which who you are can never be accomplished. You have
T2:2.2  But many recognize that they have a calling even unto things the  world considers mundane.
T2:2.4 What bravery it takes in today's  world to follow a calling to teach. To set aside other careers that
T2:3.1  you have ever thought or imagined is and is reflected in the  world you see. The only difference between the life you are living
T2:3.2  recognize the treasure you have already chosen to bring to the  world. Your heart speaks to you of this treasure and guides you to
T2:3.2  this treasure and guides you to open the trunk and release it to the  world—to your world—to the human world. As I have said, in the
T2:3.2  guides you to open the trunk and release it to the world—to your  world—to the human world. As I have said, in the realm of unity

T2:3.5 It is this recognition that you are now acting and living in the  world as your Christ-Self rather than as your ego-self that will aid
T2:4.1 Creation is not an aspect of this  world alone. Creation is an aspect of the whole, the all of all, the
T2:4.3  to you who you truly are. While you continue to act within the  world as who you think you are rather than as who you are, you have
T2:4.4  to show you how to live as who you are, how to act within the  world as the new Self you have identified. Just like learning how to
T2:4.5  explained by continuing with the swimming metaphor. If acting in the  world as who you truly are is like swimming, bumping in to who you
T2:4.15  and minute-by-minute how to perceive of and live in your  world, are still often based on old concepts. This does not mean you
T2:6.9  is actually a return to what has always been. You are changing the  world you perceive by perceiving a new world. You are changing from
T2:6.9  been. You are changing the world you perceive by perceiving a new  world. You are changing from who you have thought yourself to be to
T2:7.2 Others are the great unknown of living in the  world. Others are those who are beyond your control, those who can
T2:7.10  You will want to be a change-agent. You will want to move into the  world and be an active force within it. These are aims consistent
T2:7.10  you from following the patterns of old as you go out into the  world with your desire to effect change?
T2:7.11  only thing that will prevent this is your ability to go out into the  world and remain who you are. This relates to giving and receiving
T2:7.11  being one in truth in a very concrete way. For to go out into the  world with the desire to give, either expecting to receive in certain
T2:7.11  a pattern that has been proven to not have any ability to change the  world.
T2:7.13  surrounds you. You cannot, in other words, be a good person in a bad  world. You cannot effect change without, without having effected
T2:7.15  what good and helpful parts of yourself you will share with the  world. It is also about giving the world the opportunity to give
T2:7.15  yourself you will share with the world. It is also about giving the  world the opportunity to give back. It is about recognizing the
T2:11.1  Creator for creating you in such a way, and second in forgiving a  world that has taught you to want to be other than who you are. Now
T2:11.2  of who you are, you will find living as who you are in the  world difficult as long as you perceive of others as living under the
T2:11.2  and still seeking to glorify it. You will still perceive of the  world as operating under the laws of man and as long as you perceive
T2:11.2  operating under the laws of man and as long as you perceive of the  world in such a way you will be forced to live by its laws. This will
T2:11.10  that this total reversal of thought concerning yourself and your  world will be difficult you are listening to your ego. The Christ in
T2:11.15  is the source of all conflict that seems real to you within your  world. This battle of good and evil, while you believe in it still,
T2:11.15  fraction of the power of your thinking and its ability to shape the  world you see?
T2:11.16  Total replacement. As long as you hang on to both identities the  world will not change and you will not know who you are. You may
T2:12.6  miracle and the end for the need of miracles. For as you live in the  world as who you are, you become a miracle and the constant
T2:13.3  “you” who laughs and loves and cries and shares with friends in a  world now different than the one you once perceived. I know of this
T2:13.3  world now different than the one you once perceived. I know of this  world and I am here to guide you through it. I, too, am friend to you.
T2:13.4  that we are truly one in being with our Father. As you move into the  world with the end of the time of separation and the beginning of the
T2:13.6  you are shine through the personal self who continues to walk this  world a while longer. Listen for my voice as I guide you to your
T3:1.3  false representation of the ego as the self is what has led to the  world you see. A true representation of the Self that you are is what
T3:1.3  toward in this Treatise and will lead to true vision and to a new  world.
T3:1.8  the truth of who you are is what has led to your perception of the  world of suffering and strife that you have seen.
T3:2.3  became paramount, became the only means you saw of deciphering the  world around you and your role within it. Separation, aloneness,
T3:2.5  the self. These beliefs have shaped your dualistic view of the  world and all that exists with you within it. For every “glory,”

T3:5.7  of resurrection and new life. It was a gift meant to empty the  world of the ego-self and to allow the personal self to live on as
T3:6.3  details that seem to make it possible for you to live within your  world. The idea of reward transfers to ideas related to comparison as
T3:8.1  not enough. To stop at this dismantling power would be to leave the  world in its present condition and your brothers and sisters
T3:8.8  and surely not you, can make a difference. If you could relieve the  world of suffering you would, but to try and fail is too
T3:8.8  How difficult it is to believe that you need not change the  world but only your own self. How difficult to imagine that this one
T3:8.11  was looked for was a means of finding simple pleasures in a harsh  world, why not ideas of entertainment that would seem to provide
T3:9.1  sense and it is its very sense that makes it seem meaningless in a  world gone mad. It is an idea that says only that which comes from
T3:14.1  not become the savior I ask you to be, or the architects of the new  world of heaven on earth that I call you to create.

T3:16.2  to have a plan and you do not need to know precisely what this new  world will look like. You simply need to be willing to live by the
T3:16.8  to be. Thus, in order to live by the truth, you must live in the  world as The Accomplished and cease struggling to be other than who

T3:18.10  realizes that the external world is but a reflection of the internal  world. Thus you can observe with your eyes closed as easily as you
T3:20.14 I thank you for your strong desire to be saviors of the  world and to end her suffering. I thank you for your compassion and
T3:20.14  you for your compassion and for your desire to be of service to the  world. But I call to you from peace and ask for you to remain in
T3:20.14  for you to remain in peace with me and let not the suffering of the  world call you from it. When these things of the world threaten to

T3:20.18 You are as pioneers to this new  world. Its mere existence will attract others and each will find the

T3:21.15  and the “type” of person you feel you have chosen to be within that  world. Whether you have given thought to the interconnection of these
T3:21.15  personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other words, the  world you were born into, regardless that it was the same world as
T3:21.15  words, the world you were born into, regardless that it was the same  world as all other human beings were born into, is also different
T3:21.15  other human beings. And what's more, your experiences within that  world are also different than the experiences of all other human

T3:22.12  tension is caused by the dualistic world in which you have lived, a  world wherein a lag time exists between what is and what will be. You

T3:22.13  where here and now is separate from what will be. In the new  world, the world where truth reigns, there is no cause for tension

T4:3.7  this set of circumstances, and replace the world of fear with a  world of love, there can be no more weighing of love against fear.

T4:4.1 Everywhere within your  world you see the pattern of life-everlasting. Where there is a
T4:4.2  with rest is the pattern that has been taken to extremes within your  world. You think of birth as creation and death as rest. You do not

T4:10.14  You can learn to change the world, but not how to create a new  world. Does this not make sense? You can learn about who you were and

D:6.17  which an attitude of “if this, then that” ruled, and the “new” as a  world in which giving and receiving are one, you will begin to see

D:11.5  world. Your desire to make a contribution—to help to make new the  world that you have known—has been enhanced and amplified by what

D:14.1  consistent with the action and the adventure of discovery within the  world around you.
D:14.3  is not separate from anything, not from anything in the physical  world or anything in the state of unity. This is why the key to

D:16.13  the new you that you were told will precede the creation of the new  world. This is what is meant by “as within, so without.” Only a new
D:16.13  is meant by “as within, so without.” Only a new you can create a new  world. The new you is the elevated Self of form who you are in the
D:17.7  your feeling of accomplishment. You want to share it with the whole  world. From the top of the mountain, arms outstretched, this desire

D:Day1.14  you to this point which I now would like to lead you beyond, the  world would be a different place. Have I not called you to a new time

D:Day1.27  as the Son of God, and preceded my time of living as my Self in the  world. So too does it with you. You long for and desire me because

D:Day2.21  of my actions that begin with the appearance of my form in the  world, but that mainly occur during my time of maturity. These

D:Day4.9  all attempt to learn the same things, and in coming to identify the  world in the same way—the way that has been taught—think that you
D:Day4.9  you have succeeded in learning, is the cause of the insanity of the  world and of your anger with the way things “are” within the world.
D:Day4.9  of the world and of your anger with the way things “are” within the  world. This is an anger that stems from lack of choice. When you are

D:Day4.19  they once were, but to be as I am. I asked them to live—not in the  world of their former perception, in a world-view that was taught to
D:Day4.19  in a world-view that was taught to them—but to live in a new  world and, by so doing, to demonstrate a new way.
D:Day4.34  in need of tools. But you have taken yourself away from the ordinary  world. You are on top of the mountain. What is this all about? Why
D:Day4.38  of self and love of your brothers and sisters, love of the natural  world, of the world of form that is, love of the idea of the new
D:Day4.38  love of your brothers and sisters, love of the natural world, of the  world of form that is, love of the idea of the new world that can be,
D:Day4.38  world, of the world of form that is, love of the idea of the new  world that can be, all of these must come together and be victors
D:Day4.47  be gone. All that will be left to do will be the creation of a new  world in the only way that it can come about—through unity.
D:Day5.21  What comes of unity enters you and passes through you to the  world. This is the relationship you have with unity while in form—a
D:Day6.2  if any of you, feel as if you have truly taken leave of the everyday  world of your “normal” existence and feel fully present on the holy
D:Day6.20  the mountain top of my own experience. They were temptations of the  world, of the normal, daily life of my time. They were attempts to
D:Day7.10  and true sharing. The singular self withdrew into its own little  world and created its own universe. The elevated Self of form will
D:Day7.10  its own universe. The elevated Self of form will expand into the  world and create a new universe. This condition of expansion is
D:Day8.26  of being. The ego-self was the self you felt safe presenting to the  world, the self you believed the world would find acceptable. If you
D:Day8.26  you felt safe presenting to the world, the self you believed the  world would find acceptable. If you are still presenting this self,

D:Day9.27  expressing the beauty and truth of who you are. You came into the  world of form incapable of not expressing the beauty and truth of who
D:Day10.28  lucky not to have lived to see the current state of affairs of the  world because you know they would not have liked it? And do you not,
D:Day10.29  do you not, when thinking of idolized spiritual leaders, see them as  world leaders as well, leaders not only capable but bound to taking a
D:Day10.29  a stance against the many situations there are to dislike in the  world? Do they not feel for the suffering? Do they not dislike
D:Day10.32  harmless situation. When speaking of the many issues facing your  world in this time, we are speaking of situations that would seem to

D:Day11.2  This is the great paradox that unites the world of form and the  world of spirit, the world of separation with the world of union,
D:Day11.2  paradox that unites the world of form and the world of spirit, the  world of separation with the world of union, even while it does not

D:Day11.2  separation with the world of union, even while it does not unite the  world of illusion with the world of truth. Sharing in unity and
D:Day11.2  union, even while it does not unite the world of illusion with the  world of truth. Sharing in unity and relationship is the way and the
D:Day11.2  in unity and relationship is the way and the means to see past the  world of illusion to the truth of the union of form and spirit,
D:Day11.5 All the benefits you might want to bring to the  world are brought about in only one way: The way of sharing in union
D:Day12.7 All obstacles of form are only real in the  world of form, a world that is perceived rather than known.

D:Day16.5  come to you to prove what you think you know—that others, or the  world in general, are to blame for the sorry state of your life.

D:Day16.15  grew from a world primarily made up of paradise and love, to a  world primarily made up of hell and fear because as more was expelled
D:Day17.4  of an answer as to why you exist. You have always been aware of the  world around you and always been in search of answers to what the
D:Day17.4  world around you and always been in search of answers to what the  world around you is all about. An approach to knowing, which was
D:Day17.10 The way of Jesus represented full-scale interaction with the  world, demonstrating the myth of duality, the death of form, the
D:Day17.13  fulfillment of the way of Jesus is the stage of interaction with the  world, the time of miracles, the death of the old way and the birth
D:Day18.1  of Jesus to completion, beginning a stage of interaction with the  world, an interaction with the miracles that will aide in the
D:Day18.2  that occurs within, Jesus the relationship that occurs with the  world. So do each of you. These two ways also represent God and
D:Day18.2  is in everything on heaven and on earth. Thus, God represents the  world without. Christ-consciousness is God within you, your
D:Day18.5  that what is needed now is needed in order to renew or resurrect the  world and all who abide within it.
D:Day18.10  choice is to demonstrate this pattern through interaction with the  world, or through incarnation through relationship. Neither is
D:Day19.1  your mind and so you see not how it can become manifest in the  world. In other words, you know not what to do. You perhaps see no
D:Day19.1  as the ultimate accomplishment. You see living as who you are in the  world as the accomplishment that is needed from you and yet at times
D:Day19.1  yourselves to those who are able to live as who they are in the  world and accomplish certain functions within the world. You perhaps
D:Day19.1  they are in the world and accomplish certain functions within the  world. You perhaps feel function-less and purposeless at times, while

D:Day19.5  is living as who you are within the world. But in what kind of  world? This is the catch that causes feelings of purposelessness in
D:Day19.5  in those who are content to live as who they are within the  world. Until they realize the power of reflection, they wonder why

D:Day22.2  perhaps seen as a mediator between the living and the dead or the  world of spirit and the world of humanity. This idea separated the
D:Day22.2  between the living and the dead or the world of spirit and the  world of humanity. This idea separated the living and the dead, the

D:Day33.5 Say to yourself, as you confront the events and situations of your  world, that you are being in relationship. It is to your being that
D:Day33.5  that the people, places, events and situations that make up your  world appeal. It is in your response that who you are being is
D:Day33.9  as the events, situations, people, and places that populate your  world. How can this be? And how can you look at each event, no matter
D:Day33.13  has within them the power to affect, change, or recreate the  world. Every single individual does so to the extent to which they
D:Day34.1  seeing the Self as being in relationship—is key to creating a new  world, how does this relate to the seeming opposite of creation? How
D:Day34.5  fulfilled in you. As it is fulfilled in you, you will create a new  world—a world based on sameness rather than difference. You have
D:Day34.5  in you. As it is fulfilled in you, you will create a new world—a  world based on sameness rather than difference. You have faced and
D:Day34.5  desire has made it so and begin to see and create this change in the  world around you.
D:Day34.6 This is your  world and your experience. This is your life and your experience of
D:Day35.1  you are in relationship with all. Thus you need not become a  world traveler, a joiner, an activist. You simply must become aware
D:Day35.12  through unity and relationship are you able to be a creator. A new  world can be created only in this way. A new world can only be
D:Day35.12  to be a creator. A new world can be created only in this way. A new  world can only be created. To proceed relying upon anything other

D:Day36.8  self in response to a “given” set of circumstances in a “given”  world and creating your experience as a creator who has realized
D:Day36.9  that you can give yourself a new set of circumstances and a new  world by creating it as your experience. This is starting over with
