Tx:7.85 | fallacy is the idea that you can get rid of something you do not | want by giving it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The belief |
Tx:7.98 | you could not want it. The only reason why you could possibly | want any part of it is because you do not see the whole of it. |

Tx:8.103 | what you do not want. How real can this devotion be? If you do not | want it, it was never created. If it was never created, it is |

Tx:10.78 | Do I | want the problem, or do I want the answer? |
Tx:10.78 | Do I want the problem, or do I | want the answer? |

Tx:11.98 | by identifying with the ego could you hold dear what you do not | want? |

Tx:12.72 | journey that would lead away from light, remember what you really | want and say, |
Tx:13.40 | you will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you | want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what |

Tx:17.58 | what it wants to come of it. It is aware of what it does not | want, but only that. It has no positive goal at all. |

Tx:20.59 | to leave the means to Him Who changed the purpose. You recognize you | want the goal. Are you not also willing to accept the means? If you |
Tx:20.59 | you are inconsistent. A purpose is attained by means, and if you | want a purpose, you must be willing to want the means as well. How |

Tx:21.81 | this same desire as a little glint of sin attracts you. And you can | want to see a sinless world and let an “enemy” tempt you to use the |

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 |
Tx:30.39 | on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the form of what you | want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will |
Tx:30.41 | It never is the idol that you | want. But what you think it offers you, you want indeed and have the |
Tx:30.41 | is the idol that you want. But what you think it offers you, you | want indeed and have the right to ask for. Nor could it be possible |

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. |

W1:35.2 | because you surround yourself with the environment you want. And you | want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made. The |
W1:38.6 | From time to time you may | want to vary this procedure and add some relevant thoughts of your |
W1:39.5 | Longer and more frequent practice sessions are encouraged. If you | want to exceed the minimum requirements, more rather than longer |
W1:40.2 | can practice quite well under almost any circumstance, if you really | want to. |
W1:45.5 | try to understand 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 |
W1:48.1 | recognize this. But it is very difficult to recognize for those who | want illusions to be true. |
W1:51.3 | willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments because I | want to see. My judgments have hurt me, and I do not want to see |
W1:51.3 | because I want to see. My judgments have hurt me, and I do not | want to see according to them. |
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 |
W1:98.13 | would have you take and help you fill, and He will make you sure you | want this choice, which He has made with you and you with Him. |
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. |
W1:122.1 | What could you | want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers |
W1:122.1 | What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you | want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet |
W1:122.1 | cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you | want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of |
W1:122.1 | and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you | want care and safety and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you |
W1:122.1 | care and safety and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you | want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never |
W1:122.4 | What would you | want forgiveness cannot give? What gifts but these are worthy to be |
W1:122.12 | began, kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you | want. Today all things you want are given you. |
W1:122.12 | today. Forgiveness offers everything you want. Today all things you | want are given you. |
W1:122.15 | Forgiveness offers everything I | want. Today I have accepted this as true. Today I have received the |
W1:128.2 | Be you deceived no more. The world you see has nothing that you | want. |
W1:128.4 | nor permit temptation to believe the world has anything you | want to hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is |
W1:129.3 | vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all things you really | want and know they have no ending, and they will remain exactly as |
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 |
W1:129.5 | 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 as you unbind |
W1:129.6 | not to value nothingness? This world holds nothing that you really | want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given |
W1:129.6 | holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you | want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits but for your |
W1:129.6 | choosing it to take the place of all the things you seek but do not | want. |
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 |
W1:129.12 | The world I see has nothing that I | want. Beyond this world there is a world I want. |
W1:130.1 | thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you | want to see. Your values are determiners of this, for what you value |
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 |
W1:130.2 | can really hate and love at once? Who can desire what he does not | want to have reality? And who can choose to see a world of which he |
W1:130.3 | what can be real in blind imaginings of panic born? What would you | want that this is shown to you? What would you wish to keep in such 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 |
W1:131.4 | —an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding everything you really | want. |
W1:131.5 | to learn you search for Heaven and must find the goal you really | want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end. |
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 |
W1:131.6 | go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you really | want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness. |
W1:131.7 | candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you really | want. |
W1:131.13 | those I made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I | want to think are not my own. |
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: |
W1:139.4 | If he asks as if he did not know, it merely shows he does not | want to be the thing he is. He has accepted it because he lives, has |
W1:141.2 | [122] Forgiveness offers everything I | want. |
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. |
W1:163.7 | alive and somehow perished, killed, apparently, by those who did not | want him to survive. Their stronger will could triumph over His, and |
W1:164.8 | in your practicing by merely letting go all things you think you | want. Your trifling treasures put away and leave a clean and open |
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 |
W2:271.1 | every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I | want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. |
W2:271.1 | to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I | want to be the truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what Christ |
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 |
W2:316.2 | I can behold them, see their worth, and cherish only them as what I | want. |

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 | 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:4.9 | was valueless. All that he really learned so far was that he did not | want the valueless and that he did want the valuable. Yet his own |
M:4.9 | so far was that he did not want the valueless and that he did | want the valuable. Yet his own sorting-out was meaningless in |

M:4.19 | only he could keep, because that is a guarantee of loss. He does not | want to suffer. Why should he ensure himself pain? But he does want |

C:5.25 | work will surely fail again. Stop now and give up what you think you | want. |
C:5.26 | to these words, the strength of your resistance. Give up what you | want? This is surely what you have expected God to ask of you and |
C:5.26 | you make this sacrifice? What then would your life be for? You | want so little really. How can you be asked to give this up? |
C:5.27 | You do | want little, and only when you realize this can you proceed to |
C:6.1 | reality before you can understand it is the only one you would | want to have. You have to forgive this reality for being different |
C:6.15 | How can I convince you that peace is what you | want when you do not know what peace is? Those who once worshiped |
C:7.15 | withhold your intelligence from others lest they profit from it. You | want your intelligence known and recognized, but you want it known |
C:7.15 | from it. You want your intelligence known and recognized, but you | want it known and recognized as yours. If someone wants the |

C:10.12 | at the worst. You want to believe and so you believe. But you also | want to be “right” about what you believe. The convenient thing about |
C:10.31 | 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 other times |
C:10.32 | rebel here thinking this is not what you signed on for. You just | want to read about this Course, perhaps, and not be required to take |
C:10.32 | 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 the |
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:13.5 | 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 recognize it |
C:13.9 | you know, and let your real Self guide you gently back to where you | want to be and already are in truth. |
C:14.14 | concerns us now, for the return of love is coming and you do not | want to make the same response again. |
C:14.15 | Everything that you consider valuable you | want to keep. This makes perfect sense to you because the foundation |
C:14.19 | when you find a respite, a place of rest and beauty and of love, you | want to claim it for your own lest it get away! It too must be |
C:15.1 | of everyone, for without specialness to feed, there would be neither | want nor hunger. Without a desire for specialness there would be no |

C:16.2 | now why it doesn't seem so, and the only answer is that you do not | want it to. You perceive but what you wish for, and your wish for |
C:16.9 | important it is that you listen to your heart! Your heart does not | want to see with judgment or with fear. It calls to you to accept |
C:16.21 | have no power but that which they make from their own selves. You | want power to come only through legitimate channels and do not want |
C:16.21 | You want power to come only through legitimate channels and do not | want those who have no power to possess it through the same weapons |
C:16.21 | or might that you claim make those in authority powerful. While you | want those you have given power to protect you, you also fear them, |
C:16.24 | yourself a sacrificial lamb, an offering onto God that God does not | want. You look back on stories of sacrifice from the Bible and think |
C:16.25 | not how important it is for it to be reclaimed. As good as you may | want to be, you would still go meekly through your life trying to |
C:16.25 | are only fair in deciding that if everyone cannot do what they would | want, then you, too, must abdicate your wishes for the common good. |
C:23.7 | how much you grow to love another, that love does not cause you to | want to be the other person. That love causes you to want to have a |
C:23.7 | cause you to want to be the other person. That love causes you to | want to have a relationship with the other person. This should tell |
C:23.8 | When obsessively in love you may | want the other person to be you, but rarely the other way around. |
C:24.1 | you would term emotionalism. You may feel as if everything makes you | want to cry because everything will touch you, each lesson will feel |
C:25.5 | of which you cannot help but be aware, is a signal to you that you | want something. When you become aware that you want something, you |
C:25.5 | to you that you want something. When you become aware that you | want something, you are also becoming aware that you feel you lack |
C:25.20 | 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 it |
C:25.22 | 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:26.11 | that have promised you a series of steps to take to get where you | want to go, only to realize you know not where that is? |
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 |
C:31.18 | as a way of letting go and getting rid of that which you do not | want. Some of you believe this can be done and others don't. Those |
C:31.29 | constantly reflecting back what you think your brothers and sisters | want to see, they can learn nothing from you. If your truth about who |
T1:3.9 | choose a miracle at all, which many of you will balk at doing, you | want to choose the “right” miracle. Some of you may think through |
T1:3.11 | I do not | want to lose any of you here, but such is your fear that you can |
T1:3.22 | you do not know what miracles are and thus cannot perform them. You | want a definition first. What is an appropriate miracle? For whom |
T1:3.23 | to end so much suffering in so many places. Surely you wouldn't | want that even if it could come to be. Indeed this would require the |
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 |
T1:10.2 | and fully experiencing the moment. You will think this is what you | want. And I say again that it will not matter whether it be joy or |
T2:3.1 | The only difference between the life you are living and the life you | want lies in your willingness to express who you are. |
T2:7.10 | 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 and |
T2:7.10 | 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. These |
T2:9.4 | running smoothly and needs are being continuously met, you begin to | want to hang on to the relationships that you feel met these needs |
T2:9.10 | in order to attain something is the extent to which your belief in | want or lack is revealed. This is the purview of special |
T2:10.3 | say something such as “my brain just isn't working right today.” I | want you now to keep this example in mind as we explore learning in |
T2:10.4 | to some and intriguing to others, how many of you would not | want to replace your ability to know with the ability of that of a |
T2:11.1 | such a way, and second 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 |
T2:11.2 | Even though you no longer | want to be other than who you are, and even though you now have a |
T3:3.9 | you back to the idea that you are not good enough or that you do not | want to put the effort into being good enough. Like a person who |
T3:8.4 | of the idea of bitterness as something that you are attached to, I | want you to think of attachments for a time and see how bitterness |
T3:9.1 | changing your ideas. This many have done. This you surely do not | want to do. |
T3:9.5 | be able to take note of the explosions happening within and will | want to return to add your own to those going on inside, thinking |

T3:22.4 | creative tension between accepting who you are and becoming who you | want to be. This tension will continue if you are unable to integrate |
T4:1.25 | that the experience of the truth will exclude much that they would | want to try before they give into its pull and settle there. But all |
T4:1.26 | the ego-self will be perceived clearly by these, and they will not | want it for their identity but only will accept it until another |

T4:12.11 | Another thing that you will | want to be vigilant of, dear brothers and sisters, is the learned |
D:1.4 | that you are done preparing as you are done with learning. You still | want to figure out what to do, what comes next, what you need to |
D:2.3 | old have been denied. Denial is the correct word here, for I do not | want you combating or resisting the old patterns. Patterns are not in |
D:4.22 | from who you are by a drive to succeed, if you fear doing what you | want to do because you might fail, if you follow another's path and |
D:5.17 | because what is is not a constant that can be answered. That you | want answers while I tell you to await revelation speaks to the |
D:5.17 | you are close you cannot bear to wait another day, another hour. You | want release from your prison now, and so you should. |
D:14.3 | unity. This is why the key to unlocking the secrets of all you might | want to know before beginning the creation of the new are the ideas |
D:17.5 | Little can be had without desire. Desire, unlike | want, asks for a response rather than a provision. Desire is a |
D:17.7 | that this takes nothing from your feeling of accomplishment. You | want to share it with the whole world. From the top of the mountain, |
D:17.17 | response. Earlier it was said that desire asks for a response while | want asks for provision. What is the difference we speak of here? |
D:17.18 | preparation for future needs. This is an appropriate response to | want, but it is an inappropriate response to desire. It is an |
D:17.26 | forty nights here together, at the top of the mountain, fasting from | want, becoming aware of desire, responding to desire. This is the |
D:Day1.28 | Lay aside your | want of other answers, other stories, and accept the story we share. |
D:Day3.8 | this spiritual context is capable of bringing you the lack of | want you associate most strongly with money. |

D:Day3.28 | The condition of | want, like all conditions of learning, ended with the end of |
D:Day3.28 | of learning, ended with the end of learning. The condition of | want was a learning device—not one of divine design, but one of the |

D:Day3.49 | being an “if this, then that” world. You try to guess what God might | want you to do, be it being still and not worrying about money, or |
D:Day3.59 | no longer have to learn and accept the condition of learning that is | want. |
D:Day4.13 | unity a “place” exists that is your natural state, a state free from | want, a state free from suffering, a state free from learning, a |
D:Day4.34 | that I fasted. You have been told that you are here to fast from | want. You know that you are here to experience both the old |
D:Day4.43 | wish to go back transformed into the elevated Self of form? Do you | want to know this place of access and carry it within you, or do you |
D:Day4.43 | only to have to return when you have once again become a glutton of | want, when you once again feel the lack that you would pray for? |
D:Day4.44 | either begins or is once again delayed. Here is where you say, I | want it all, desire it all, accept it all—for you cannot have of |
D:Day5.18 | Realize here that while you | want to know the specifics of how this thing called access to unity |
D:Day5.18 | to unity will work, you are also impatient with specifics. You | want immediate results, not more practice. You want relief and an end |
D:Day5.18 | with specifics. You want immediate results, not more practice. You | want relief and an end to effort, not another lesson to learn that |
D:Day5.20 | tired of learning. You are tired here, after your climb. You simply | want to rest and have whatever transformation is to come to you to |
D:Day6.13 | this creative process while remaining embroiled in daily life—I | want to acknowledge the difficulty some of you will seem to be |
D:Day6.19 | you are currently experiencing is the only elevation you would | want. As within, so without is the operative phrase here. It is not |
D:Day8.8 | of who you are in the present. Not through acceptance of the way you | want to be but of the way you are now. There will be many things |
D:Day8.16 | 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 that taking |
D:Day9.1 | Freedom from | want, freedom from lack, freedom from repression, are what we will |
D:Day9.7 | yourself to be lacking. You know you have never known freedom from | want. |
D:Day10.38 | speak of feelings without addressing the grand scheme of things. I | want to comfort and reassure you in this final message. I want to |
D:Day10.38 | things. I want to comfort and reassure you in this final message. I | want to tell you to be embraced by love and to let all the feelings |
D:Day10.38 | will cause these things to come to be. Yet I know you and what you | want to hear. I know you have long waited for your feelings to be |

Tx:3.31 | to “know again,” implying that you knew before. You can see in many | ways, because perception involves different interpretations, and this |

Tx:7.17 | You will not understand His translations while you listen to two | ways of perceiving them. Therefore, you must forget or relinquish one |
Tx:7.23 | their differences is emphasized. You can excel in many different | ways, but you can equalize in one way only. Equality is not a |

W1:154.12 | what we receive until we give it. You have heard this said a hundred | ways, a hundred times, and yet belief is lacking still. But this is |
W1:155.7 | back as truth comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the | ways of death and set them on the way to happiness. Their suffering |
W1:155.13 | are safely set upon the way that leads the world to God. Look not to | ways which seem to lead you elsewhere. Dreams are not a worthy guide |

C:1.6 | be in a hurry only to hear the truth. And of course all of the | ways that you act when you want to hurry are backward to what you |
C:1.10 | learn what I would teach you without me. You have tried in countless | ways and can try still again. But you will not succeed. Not because |
C:1.12 | love comes from, only that it comes. This is useful to us in several | ways. By this I do not mean that there are not particular objects of |
C:4.12 | Love is not throwing logic to the wind and acting in foolish | ways that pass as gaiety but cannot masquerade as joy. You each have |
C:4.17 | and are grateful for each acknowledgment the world gives you for the | ways in which you spend your days. For spend your days you do, and |
C:7.21 | to make sense of your world. Those who have developed reliance on | ways of knowing not governed by the acceptable senses are seen as |
C:8.6 | to have a life of their own, and a body that reacts to all of it in | ways that make you uncomfortable, anxious, ecstatic, or terrified. |

C:16.25 | abdicate your wishes for the common good. You thus behave in “noble” | ways that serve no purpose. |
C:21.4 | mind does not need this assistance. To begin to conceptualize in | ways that touch your heart will free your mind of its reliance on |
C:21.7 | a problem of meaning. Mind and heart interpret meaning in different | ways. You do not even begin to understand the enormity of this |
C:21.7 | you that as long as mind and heart interpret meaning in different | ways you will not find peace. You have, in the past, accepted these |
C:21.7 | different interpretations as natural. You see that there are two | ways of viewing a situation, even if you do not label one way of |
C:23.12 | is critical to how you live with form. We are speaking here of | ways of thinking similar to those which you term induction and |
C:25.24 | When you are guided to act in | ways that are contrary to usual patterns of action you have taken in |
C:27.4 | The purpose of this Course has been stated in many | ways and is stated again here: The purpose of this Course is to |
C:29.11 | is to rebel against it and to seek for ease in getting it done or | ways to avoid doing it at all. Thus have your paper plates and |
C:30.11 | be secure, if you are “good” you will prosper. You do not see these | ways of thinking as ideas associated with gain and loss, but they |
C:32.1 | are. As we have stated repeatedly, the form of your world in many | ways reflects the content of who you are. It also reflects the |
C:32.4 | specific exercises are not required. This Course has succeeded in | ways you do not yet understand and have no need to understand. These |
T1:1.1 | than that of peace is conflicted by the desire for peace and the | ways in which peace is seen as being approachable. Peace is seen as |
T1:5.11 | the abolishing of the ego-mind, as stated many times and in many | ways, must now be brought to completion. |
T1:7.4 | way of learning is needed and is here. To continue to rely on the | ways of old, no matter how effective they were and no matter how much |
T1:9.4 | You are used to creating in outward | ways. One of the few exceptions to this outward creation is the act |
T1:10.3 | be tempted to give yourself over once again in this most human of | ways. You will cry and laugh for the poignancy of the human |
T2:1.2 | Treasure is most often seen in one of two | ways—as something valuable to be sought and found or as something |
T2:7.2 | those who can influence the course of your day or your life in | ways you would not choose. Others represent the accidents waiting to |
T2:9.17 | you are tempted to think that your needs can only be met in special | ways by special relationships, remember this example of holding your |
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, |
T2:11.15 | within you and you will see yourself as doing battle in countless | ways and forms. There will never actually be a battle going on |
T3:2.7 | And yet the truth has as many | ways of being represented as does illusion. |
T3:10.7 | This relates to our exercise on forgetting for you must forget the | ways in which you have formerly reacted to every situation. Not one |
T3:12.10 | self, able to express itself from within the House of Truth in | ways consistent with peace and love is the next step in creation, the |
T3:16.3 | state of knowing that for which it is you plan. These have been the | ways of creation in the thought system of the ego, ways that have |
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 |
T3:19.16 | It is a choice to live in truth or in illusion. There are many | ways that can still be found to come to the truth. But a way of |
T3:20.9 | While you need not act in | ways inconsistent with compassion or even verbalize your new beliefs, |
T3:20.15 | and sisters in Christ, let nothing call you to return to the | ways of old. They do not work! To minister to those within the house |
T3:20.17 | love. See not what love would not have you see. Turn from the dark | ways of illusion and shine the light of truth for all to see. Remain |
T3:21.24 | truth and to observance of the truth. That you each will do this in | ways unique to who you are must be further addressed and seen as it |
T3:22.2 | you will find the sharing of this Course to be among the easiest of | ways to share what you have learned. You will almost certainly feel |
T4:1.2 | however, be conclusive. It will separate truth from illusion in | ways that will make some uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge |
T4:2.29 | but only need be steadily aware that you can only see in one of two | ways—with love or fear. |
T4:2.31 | me in Christ-consciousness? Have you suspected that you might see in | ways literally different? That you might see auras or halos, signs |
T4:5.11 | You do not die to choice. At the time of death you are assisted in | ways not formerly possible to you in form, to make the choice to be |
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 |
T4:9.5 | that all messages of the truth say the same thing but in different | ways. There seems to be nothing new to be said, nothing to move you |
T4:9.5 | seems to leave you ready to change and able to change in certain | ways that make life easier or more peaceful, but certainly not able |
T4:12.26 | This is akin to being stranded in a foreign land with none of the | ways you learned how to adapt in the past being of service to you. |
D:2.2 | —and you are asked to refuse to accept who you are not and the | ways of life that allowed you to live within the world as a false |
D:5.18 | You have died to the old. But surely it would seem easier in some | ways to have literally died and been released from the prison of the |

D:Day19.8 | Each demonstrated the creative aspect of that function in different | ways. But the function remained one of direct union with God. This is |
D:Day19.11 | neither acclaim nor obscurity will matter to those following these | ways. Being true to the self and the calling of the One Self is all |
D:Day19.11 | and obscurity will be no more. But at this time of transition, both | ways are needed to demonstrate the means of coming to know, which are |
D:Day19.12 | found the self. They fear losing the known to the unknown. The two | ways of demonstration make the unknown known. One makes the unknown |

C:P.9 | want it to be. This is why, while the ego remains, you cannot know | who you are. The only glory is of God and His creations. That you are |
C:P.10 | about yourselves. It is possible to do much good without recognizing | who you are, but it is impossible to be who you are, and you are what |
C:P.10 | good without recognizing who you are, but it is impossible to be | who you are, and you are what the world is for. Your recognition of |
C:P.13 | do good, a belief that clearly demonstrates that you have rejected | who you are. |
C:P.15 | By rejecting | who you are, you are demonstrating that you think you can believe in |
C:P.21 | to heaven, for your acceptance of your birthright, for you to be | who you are. |
C:P.36 | Jesus, united with the Christ in you, is he who can teach you | who you are and how to live as who you are in a new world. He can |
C:P.36 | in you, is he who can teach you who you are and how to live as | who you are in a new world. He can open heaven to you and walk you |
C:2.8 | think the opposite is true insanity. Given even your limited view of | who you are, could this really be true? |
C:2.16 | all else that you are. Thus you can know without that knowing being | who you are. You think you can love without love being who you are. |
C:2.16 | knowing being who you are. You think you can love without love being | who you are. Nothing stands apart from your being. Nothing stands |
C:4.4 | recognize as well your longing for your Self. Why would you wonder | who you are and what your purpose here is all about, if not for your |
C:4.5 | All fear is based on your inability to recognize love and thus | who you are and who God is. How could you not have been fearful with |
C:4.6 | turns endlessly into night in a long march toward death. Recognize | who you are and God's light goes before you, illuminating every path |
C:5.9 | the right idea, yet it is so sadly displaced as to make a mockery of | who you are. Love does mark your place—but in eternity, not here. |
C:6.20 | the next as stories often will. It is but part of your awareness of | who you are, an awareness you would deny in favor of thoughts of |
C:7.7 | to freely give away. This is the only Self that holds the light of | who you are in truth, the Self that is joined with the Christ in you. |
C:7.18 | broken or full, it rests in wholeness within you at the center of | who you are. |
C:8.15 | have recognized what is not the truth. Your body is not the truth of | who you are, no matter how much it appears to be. For now, let's |
C:8.16 | 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. This feeling of |
C:10.25 | you will realize anew that your thoughts more accurately define | who you are than your body does. Whether they wander aimlessly or are |
C:11.15 | a willingness to receive love from your Source and to be loved for | who you are. Is this so much to ask? |
C:14.1 | creation. Now your united purpose must change to that of remembering | who you are within God's creation, rather than in the world that you |
C:14.28 | freely and without fear. In this state your memory returns to you of | who you are, and you are innocent and joyous and one with love |
C:16.23 | not their birthright. Your birthright is simply the right to be | who you are, and there is nothing in the world that has the power to |
C:16.24 | would surely call it a waste, and yet you give up your power to be | who you are and think it is just the way life is. You give away your |
C:17.1 | Being | who you are is no luxury reserved for the idle rich, or the very |
C:17.1 | luxury reserved for the idle rich, or the very young or old. Being | who you are is necessary for the completion of the universe. Without |
C:18.21 | as communion, or union of the highest level, and of remembrance of | who you are being the means by which communion can return to you. So |
C:20.28 | Power is the expression of | who you are. Because you are changeless and boundless, you are |
C:20.28 | to powerlessness. No true expression is possible until you know | who you are. To know who you are and not to express who you are with |
C:20.28 | No true expression is possible until you know who you are. To know | who you are and not to express who you are with your full power is |
C:20.28 | until you know who you are. To know who you are and not to express | who you are with your full power is the result of fear. To know the |
C:20.37 | It is not about plans. It is about moment-by-moment knowing exactly | who you are and acting out of that loving identity, and it is about |
C:20.42 | You would not be other than | who you are. You may know that this is true or you may dwell in |
C:20.42 | you know it is true or not, it is true: You would not be other than | who you are. Herein lie your peace and your perfection. If you would |
C:22.16 | Would you still be the same person in a laboratory? Are you still | who you are when another takes you into his or her mind and assigns |
C:23.22 | frees space for the new. It allows your form to reflect what and | who you are now in terms that coincide with the “you” whom you have |
C:27.10 | than singular objects and bodies, as all that exists, and thus | who you are and who God is? Is it such a huge leap to go from saying |
C:27.11 | of the relationship that is life. You are already accomplished as | who you are. All is accomplished in unity. In separation you merely |
C:27.11 | Relationship is unity, and relationship is your natural state. It is | who you are. |
C:27.13 | Living in relationship is living in love and is living as | who you are. Living in relationship is living in the present. How do |
C:30.3 | and learn in order to claim your learning for your Self. Learn | who you are through each experience rather than learning in order to |
C:30.3 | through each experience rather than learning in order to find out | who you are or what your contribution will eventually be. |
C:31.17 | But because you are in a state of unremembering, you must relearn | who you are. You can only relearn who you are by being who you are. |
C:31.17 | of unremembering, you must relearn who you are. You can only relearn | who you are by being who you are. You can only be who you are by |
C:31.17 | must relearn who you are. You can only relearn who you are by being | who you are. You can only be who you are by sharing who you are. |
C:31.17 | can only relearn who you are by being who you are. You can only be | who you are by sharing who you are. |
C:31.17 | you are by being who you are. You can only be who you are by sharing | who you are. |
C:31.18 | idea of confessing is an idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of | who you are being all tied up with sin and a need for forgiveness, |
C:31.19 | But in order to remember your Self, you need a means of learning | who you are. Everything that has ever happened in your life has |
C:31.19 | in your life has happened as a learning device to help you remember | who you are. Those things about which you feel guilt and shame are |
C:31.20 | Who you are is love, and all things brought to love are seen in a new | |
C:31.20 | light, a light that keeps what you would learn to help you remember | who you are, and in that remembrance transforms the rest, leaving you |
C:31.20 | nothing to keep hidden, leaving you with nothing but the truth of | who you are. Thus, what you give through sharing you gain in truth. |
C:31.21 | and simply become the truth that has always existed about | who you are. |
C:31.23 | everything that exists, as it lies within you. As you learn that | who you are is love, no deception is possible, and you can only be |
C:31.23 | who you are is love, no deception is possible, and you can only be | who you are in truth. |
C:31.26 | Your past has nothing to do with the truth about | who you are, except in the degree to which it has or has not helped |
C:31.26 | in the degree to which it has or has not helped you to remember | who you are. What you have learned in truth resides in your mind as a |
C:31.34 | receiving as one is called relationship. It allows you to experience | who you are and thus to know, or remember, who you are. It is in your |
C:31.34 | allows you to experience who you are and thus to know, or remember, | who you are. It is in your recognition of the truth about your |
C:32.1 | is not one aspect of it that is not designed to help you to remember | who you are. As we have stated repeatedly, the form of your world in |
C:32.1 | the form of your world in many ways reflects the content of | who you are. It also reflects the content of who you are not. It is |
C:32.1 | reflects the content of who you are. It also reflects the content of | who you are not. It is in telling the difference between the two that |
T1:2.7 | entrenched the ego-mind. To think that you could learn the truth of | who you are through these same means was the fallacy that the early |
T1:3.1 | to replace illusion with the truth so that the truth of | who you are is all that remains. |
T1:3.8 | what kind of miracle is needed to get you to change your mind about | who you are and thus about the nature of your thoughts. |
T1:3.14 | choice, this choice to leave fear behind for good and to become | who you are. |
T1:3.15 | Who you are is a miracle worker. This is not all that you are but is | |
T1:3.15 | a miracle worker. This is not all that you are but is a measure of | who you are. This is not all that you are but this is the quickest |
T1:3.15 | is not all that you are but this is the quickest means of realizing | who you are. As was said in A Course in Miracles, miracles are |
T1:4.1 | By asking you to request a miracle, I am honoring | who you are and inviting you into the state of mind that is |
T1:4.2 | all your thoughts to become the miracles that express the truth of | who you are. This Treatise will put your instruction fully under my |
T1:4.16 | a miracle is but a request to you to hear Creation's response to | who you are. What might such a response sound like? Feel like? Look |
T1:4.18 | A response is not an interpretation. A response is an expression of | who you are rather than of what you believe something else to be. |
T1:4.19 | of situations and the feelings they have aroused have defined | who you are, think again. Be willing to apply the art of thought |
T1:5.9 | where the real Self abides. There is nothing else that will free | who you are but freedom from the ego's thought system. That the ego's |
T1:5.11 | and this experience is all that makes you believe you are other than | who you are. Thus the abolishing of the ego-mind, as stated many |
T1:5.14 | of God with the laws of man. Through mindfulness you will remember | who you are. Through wholeheartedness you will be who are. |
T1:7.1 | of this world because the world is seen as a world in which | who you are can never be accomplished. You have perceived this |
T1:7.1 | can never be accomplished. You have perceived this inability to be | who you are in terms of not being able to do as you would desire to |
T1:10.9 | of profound learning. You will think that you would not be | who you are now without experiences such as this one. You will think |
T2:1.4 | desire. Despite many exhortations that your purpose here is to be | who you are, you may have determined that exploring your internal |
T2:1.4 | You may well be feeling a sense of relief in having learned that | who you are right now is a being of perfection, and you may find in |
T2:1.4 | hoped to have become abilities. You think this willingness to accept | who you are now is what this Course has led you to and evidence of |
T2:2.9 | You think that what prevents you from being | who you are is far broader than this simple idea of hearing and |
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. |
A.14 | You begin to trust and as you begin to trust you begin to extend | who you are. True giving and receiving as one begins to take place. |
A.40 | exchange between “two or more gathered together” reveals. It reveals | Who You Are. |
A.42 | in The Dialogues. You have entered the final stages of revelation of | Who You Are. When Who You Are is fully revealed you will realize that |
A.42 | You have entered the final stages of revelation of Who You Are. When | Who You Are is fully revealed you will realize that it is time to |
A.42 | you will realize that it is time to leave the classroom and live as | Who You Are in the world. You will realize that your participation in |
A.42 | the world. You will realize that your participation in the world as | Who You Are is part of an on-going dialogue, and that it is an |
A.43 | now will be your relationship to this work that has returned you to | Who You Are? Your relationship to this work continues as you live and |
A.43 | Your relationship to this work continues as you live and express | Who You Are being in the world. For some of you this may mean |
A.44 | For each, being | Who You Are will be an expression of unity and oneness that only you |
A.49 | given and the gift you bring the world: your own voice, the voice of | Who You Are. This is not a voice of separation or of the separated |

Tx:2.54 | All physical illness represents a belief in magic. The | whole distortion which created magic rests on the belief that there |
Tx:2.59 | the highest level of communication of which he is capable now. The | whole aim of the miracle is to raise the level of communication, |

Tx:2.101 | part of the whole Sonship. You do not find the concept that the | whole is greater than its parts difficult to understand. You should |
Tx:3.13 | truth. It is unwise to accept any concept if you have to turn a | whole frame of reference around in order to justify it. This |
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:6.20 | glaring examples of upside-down thinking in the New Testament, whose | whole gospel is only the message of love. These are not like the |
Tx:6.21 | the Son of Man with a kiss?” unless I believed in betrayal. The | whole message of the crucifixion was simply that I did not. The |
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:6.82 | 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:7.73 | lasts. And perception will last until the Sonship knows itself as | whole. |
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:17.31 | not insane. And its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the | whole. The special relationship, which is its chief defense, must |
Tx:17.32 | one is not different. Retain this one, and you have retained the | whole. |
Tx:17.35 | aspects of this thought system, for these aspects enclose the | whole, complete in every aspect. Death lies in this glittering |
Tx:17.37 | the frame, the picture is seen as what it represents. For as the | whole thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of |
Tx:17.37 | For as the whole thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the | whole of Heaven lies in this instant, borrowed from eternity and set |
Tx:17.41 | fades gently, and God rises to your remembrance, offering you the | whole of creation in exchange for your little picture, wholly without |
Tx:17.42 | What He has given is His. It shines in every part of Him as in the | whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in our |
Tx:17.42 | given is His. It shines in every part of Him as in the whole. The | whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in our |
Tx:17.47 | in purpose could induce a complete change of mind about what the | whole relationship is for. As this change develops and is finally |
Tx:17.62 | through fragmentation and does not perceive the situation as a | whole. Therefore, it seeks to split off segments of the situation and |
Tx:17.71 | it and keep the situation holy. For it shares the purpose of your | whole relationship and derives its meaning from it. |
Tx:18.4 | infinity 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:18.11 | the Sonship through your relationship, for in it lies the Sonship, | whole and beautiful, safe in your love. Heaven has entered quietly, |
Tx:18.11 | shined upon you, blessing your relationship with truth. God and His | whole creation have entered it together. How lovely and how holy is |
Tx:18.12 | would you not prefer to heal what has been broken and join in making | whole what has been ravaged by separation and disease? |
Tx:18.30 | darkness from the holy instant to which you brought it. We are made | whole in our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all |
Tx:18.30 | to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire to make | whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience |
Tx:18.40 | possible and remain unwilling to give place to One Who knows. The | whole belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. |
Tx:18.59 | it. It becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both become | whole as neither is perceived as separate. What really happens is |
Tx:18.65 | nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction now. Its | whole attraction is imaginary and therefore must be thought of in |
Tx:18.72 | small, around a very little segment of Heaven splintered from the | whole, proclaiming that within it is your kingdom, where God can |
Tx:18.73 | mind is such a tiny part of it that, could you but appreciate the | whole, you would see instantly that it is like the smallest sunbeam |
Tx:18.74 | is in no way changes its total dependence on them for its being. Its | whole existence still remains in them. Without the sun the sunbeam |
Tx:18.75 | dependent on their one Creator for everything and needing the | whole to give them any meaning, for by themselves they do mean |
Tx:18.76 | not missing; it could not exist if it were separate, nor would the | whole be whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an |
Tx:18.76 | it could not exist if it were separate, nor would the whole be | whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an idea of |
Tx:18.76 | apart from its Creator. This little aspect is no different from the | whole, being continuous with it and at one with it. It leads no |
Tx:18.77 | Arched high above it and surrounding it with love is the glorious | whole, which offers all its happiness and deep content to every part. |
Tx:18.81 | from Heaven straight into Heaven. No part of love calls on the | whole in vain. No Son of God remains outside His Fatherhood. |
Tx:18.84 | needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son of God, | whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to |
Tx:18.88 | of fear lies just below the level the body sees and seems to be the | whole foundation on which the world is based. Here are all 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 |
Tx:19.1 | for only thus the situation is perceived as meaningful and as a | whole. And everyone must be involved in it, or else your faith is |
Tx:19.5 | always limit and attack; faith would remove all limitations and make | whole. [Faithlessness would destroy and separate; faith would unite |
Tx:19.19 | such is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the | whole idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is |
Tx:19.24 | a mistake, entirely correctable, and so easily escaped from that its | whole correction is like walking through a mist into the sun? For |
Tx:19.40 | can it abide within the Son of God? If it would spread across the | whole creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to |
Tx:19.42 | by a little. And that little is a limit you would place upon the | whole. God's Will is One, not many. It has no opposition, for there |
Tx:19.68 | Your little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the | whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave instead, |
Tx:19.72 | guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt maintains the | whole illusion of its existence. This, then, is the attraction of |
Tx:20.1 | forgiveness of himself; the sign he looks upon himself as healed and | whole. |
Tx:20.3 | mine. A week is short, and yet this holy week is the symbol of the | whole journey the Son of God has undertaken. He started with the sign |
Tx:20.8 | For he who offers thorns to anyone is against me still, and who is | whole without him? Be you his friend for me that I may be forgiven |
Tx:20.8 | me that I may be forgiven and you may look upon the Son of God as | whole. But look you first upon the altar in your chosen home and see |
Tx:20.33 | part lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the | whole completed without your part. The ark of peace is entered two by |
Tx:20.34 | your forgiveness of each other serves but you two alone. For the | whole new world rests in the hands of every two who enter here to |
Tx:20.67 | would not be necessary had judgment not been made. Desire now its | whole undoing, and it is done for you. |
Tx:21.8 | circumstances in which you heard completely unremembered. Not the | whole song has stayed with you, but just a little wisp of melody, |
Tx:21.13 | this course. It is the same small willingness you need to have your | whole relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to |
Tx:21.20 | Look closer, then, at what it is. And very simply see in it the | whole exchange of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is |
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:21.49 | to hear and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely your | whole belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this |
Tx:21.52 | You do not realize the | whole extent to which the idea of separation has interfered with |
Tx:21.65 | he sees himself. And reason tells you it is given you to change his | whole mind, which is one with you, in just an instant. And any |
Tx:21.65 | serves to bring complete correction of his errors and make him | whole. The instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in |
Tx:21.65 | you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same instant is his | whole salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is given you to |
Tx:22.3 | his completion, he would extend it by joining with another, | whole as himself. He sees no difference between these selves, for |
Tx:22.10 | is your language. You do not understand it yet, only because your | whole communication is like a baby's. The sounds a baby makes and |
Tx:22.24 | Let us look closer at the | whole illusion that what you made has power to enslave its maker. |
Tx:22.30 | The ego's | whole continuance depends on its belief you cannot learn this course. |
Tx:22.32 | is a mistake, an error in perception, a distorted fragment of the | whole, without the meaning that the whole would give. And yet |
Tx:22.32 | a distorted fragment of the whole, without the meaning that the | whole would give. And yet mistakes, regardless of their form, can be |
Tx:22.38 | you went before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The | whole purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you will |
Tx:22.46 | you and its return. Yet how can peace be so fragmented? It is still | whole, and nothing has been taken from it. |
Tx:22.62 | would it be possible to attack a part of the creation without the | whole, the Son without the Father, and to attack another without |
Tx:23.39 | step is smaller than another nor that return from one is easier. The | whole descent from Heaven lies in each one. And where your thinking |
Tx:24.19 | to have it. Let him forgive you all your specialness and make you | whole in mind and one with him. He waits for your forgiveness only |
Tx:24.41 | out of nothing. For the parts do not belong together, and the | whole contributes nothing to the parts to give them meaning. |
Tx:24.50 | 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 that is |
Tx:24.53 | Look on your brother and behold in him the | whole reversal of the laws that seem to rule this world. See in his |
Tx:24.69 | seem to be a means. And it is this that makes it hard to grasp the | whole extent to which it must depend on what you see it for. |
Tx:25.4 | of His holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His Father, | whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting Love. |
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 |
Tx:25.60 | The | whole belief that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God |
Tx:25.61 | special function has a part. For here your special function is made | whole because it shares the function of the whole. |
Tx:25.61 | function is made whole because it shares the function of the | whole. |
Tx:26.11 | bring to truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the | whole idea that loss is possible and could result in gain for anyone. |
Tx:26.27 | here is what was lost restored to them and all their radiance made | whole again. |
Tx:26.61 | any kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the | whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is |
Tx:26.89 | innocent. And in this game do you perceive one purpose for your | whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto the purpose given |
Tx:27.1 | sacrifice is total. If it could occur at all, it would entail the | whole of God's creation and the Father with the sacrifice of his |
Tx:28.26 | or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson will not teach the | whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but that the body can be |
Tx:28.44 | it is a picture in itself. To each he offers his identity, which the | whole picture represents, instead of just a little broken bit which |
Tx:28.45 | Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For the | whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of God is just the |
Tx:29.31 | There is a place in you where this | whole world has been forgotten, where no memory of sin and of |
Tx:29.33 | It tell you what his function is. He was created that you might be | whole, for only the complete can be a part of God's completion, Which |
Tx:29.46 | renounced. Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are not | whole within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to |
Tx:29.47 | a form of death cannot be life, and what is sacrificed cannot be | whole. |
Tx:30.40 | so. For sin is the idea you are alone and separated off from what is | whole. And thus it would be necessary for the search for wholeness to |
Tx:30.42 | all idols stands his holy will to be but what he is. For more than | whole is meaningless. If there were change in him, if he could be |
Tx:30.42 | need to be himself? For can he give a part of him away? What is not | whole cannot make whole. But what is really asked for cannot be |
Tx:30.42 | For can he give a part of him away? What is not whole cannot make | whole. But what is really asked for cannot be denied. Your will |
Tx:30.42 | is granted. Not in any form that would content you not, but in the | whole completely lovely Thought God holds of you. |
Tx:30.76 | Son entirely. Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not | whole and will remain afraid to look within and find escape from |
Tx:30.77 | him outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make | whole. And what is whole can have no missing parts that have been |
Tx:30.77 | willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make whole. And what is | whole can have no missing parts that have been kept outside. |
Tx:30.93 | some respects. For this but means you would not have him healed and | whole. The Christ in him is perfect. Is it this that you would look |
Tx:31.8 | you. The soft, eternal calling of each part of God's creation to the | whole is heard throughout the world this second lesson brings. |
Tx:31.9 | no living thing which does not share the universal will that it be | whole and that you do not leave its call unheard. Without your answer |
W1:16.2 | than that of “idle thoughts.” What gives rise to the perception of a | whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought you have |
W1:29.1 | used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's idea is the | whole basis for vision. |
W1:37.2 | blesses him by asking nothing of him. Those who see themselves as | whole make no demands. |
W1:39.3 | of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the | whole world stands to benefit. |
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 |
W1:71.9 | that it contains two parts, each making equal contribution to the | whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will |
W1:95.17 | You are One Self, complete and healed and | whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world and let |
W1:113.2 | and perfect peace are mine because I am One Self, completely | whole, at one with all creation and with God. |
W1:121.12 | his holiness shows you your savior, saved and saving, healed and | whole. Then let him offer you the light you see in him and let your |
W1:128.7 | value anything you see as much as when you looked at it before. Your | whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little every time |
W1:136.2 | parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep the truth from being | whole. The parts are seen as if each one were whole within itself. |
W1:136.2 | the truth from being whole. The parts are seen as if each one were | whole within itself. |

C:P.5 | The world as a state of being, as a | whole, has entered a time, brought on largely by A Course in |
C:6.4 | we are not separate. God created the universe as an interrelated | whole. That the universe is an interrelated whole is no longer |
C:6.4 | as an interrelated whole. That the universe is an interrelated | whole is no longer disputed even by science. What you have made to |
C:6.18 | 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 wholeness, |
C:7.18 | of your heart. Your heart already sees in a manner much more | whole than the perception of your split mind. Even your language and |
C:9.38 | accomplished. You believe that by putting various parts together a | whole can be achieved. You speak of balance, and try to find |
C:9.45 | you to use the things that you have made in ways that benefit the | whole, and this is the distinction between proper and improper use, |
C:9.49 | for. Instead of recognizing your union, a state in which you are | whole and complete because you are joined with all, you have |
C:10.2 | obliteration of one thing to make another—joining makes each one | whole, and in this wholeness one with all. This union has never |

C:17.14 | the space in the universe that is yours and has become part of the | whole along with you. All that has proceeded from fear is nothing, |
C:17.17 | this: heart and mind are not separate. A united mind and heart is a | whole heart, or wholeheartedness. You may ask then why this Course |
C:18.3 | part of what has established and keeps a universal order, part of a | whole that would be a completely different whole without your |
C:18.3 | order, part of a whole that would be a completely different | whole without your presence, just as the universe would be a |

C:20.39 | All fear that what is good for one may not be good for the | whole is replaced by an understanding that each one is worthy of his |

T3:1.12 | To become a | whole Self, with no parts hidden, a Self with no parts in truth, is |
T3:16.17 | the truth builds upon itself and forms a real and true interrelated | whole. What forms the House of Truth is love eternal and it has |
T4:2.30 | see each person and event as separate, with no relation to the | whole. You are beginning to see the connections that exist and this |
T4:5.2 | can express yourself within the relationship of unity that is the | whole of the choir and the orchestra. So that you can realize your |

D:4.2 | and alone, you are now called to see no more. In unity you are | whole and inseparable, one living organism now raised above the level |
D:6.26 | to join with the Self in the unity of shared consciousness. You are | whole once again and your form will merely represent one aspect of |
D:7.6 | what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of wholeness. Being | whole is being all you are. Being all you are is what the elevated |

D:13.5 | What comes of unity is in union and thus is | whole. Therefore the knowing that will be coming to you will be given |

Tx:3.24 | the innocent mind has everything and strives only to protect its | wholeness. This is why it cannot misproject. It can only honor man, |
Tx:5.52 | still irresistibly drawn to every mind created by God, because God's | Wholeness is the wholeness of His Son. |

Tx:6.16 | of every Son of God is necessary to enable the Sonship to know its | wholeness. Only this is knowledge. |
Tx:6.25 | rejection of part of it, and this is the belief in separation. The | wholeness of God, which is His peace, cannot be appreciated |
Tx:6.25 | cannot be appreciated except by a whole mind which recognizes the | wholeness of God's creation and by this recognition knows its |
Tx:6.32 | partially nor in part. The Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this | wholeness now. You can no more pray for yourselves alone than you |
Tx:6.32 | you to create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you know of its | wholeness. |
Tx:6.92 | Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its | wholeness and have learned that it is one. Now you must be vigilant |
Tx:6.92 | because, if you let doubt enter, you will lose awareness of its | wholeness and will be unable to teach it. |
Tx:6.93 | The | wholeness of the Kingdom does not depend on your perception, but |
Tx:6.93 | does not depend on your perception, but your awareness of its | wholeness does. It is only your awareness which needs protection |
Tx:7.10 | with him. This places you both within the Kingdom and restores its | wholeness in your minds. This parallels creation, because it unifies |
Tx:7.35 | because He knows you only as whole. By healing you learn of | wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you learn to remember God. |
Tx:7.35 | as whole. By healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of | wholeness you learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but |
Tx:7.65 | not separate. The Oneness of the Creator and the creation is your | wholeness, your sanity, and your limitless power. This limitless |
Tx:7.90 | This identification is as beyond doubt as it is beyond belief. Your | wholeness has no limits, because being is in infinity. |
Tx:7.94 | split mind cannot perceive its fullness and needs the miracle of its | wholeness to dawn upon it and heal it. This reawakens the wholeness |
Tx:7.94 | of its wholeness to dawn upon it and heal it. This reawakens the | wholeness in it and restores it to the Kingdom because of its |
Tx:7.94 | in it and restores it to the Kingdom because of its acceptance of | wholeness. The full appreciation of its self-fullness makes |
Tx:7.96 | it creates in perfect joy, and only the whole can be born of its | wholeness. |

Tx:8.42 | We are the joint will of the Sonship, whose | wholeness is for all. We begin the journey back by setting out |

Tx:9.77 | and thus lose sight of yourself? Or would you remind him of his | wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To believe a Son of |
Tx:10.19 | his own ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, whose message is | wholeness. He will enable you to go far beyond the healing you |
Tx:10.30 | have accepted them, you cannot enter. For you cannot understand | Wholeness unless you are whole, and no part of the Son can be |
Tx:10.30 | whole, and no part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the | Wholeness of his Father. In your mind, you can accept the whole |
Tx:10.33 | your mind return. That is the law of God for the protection of the | wholeness of His Son. |
Tx:10.37 | Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as yourself and of His | wholeness as yours. For Christ is the Son of God who lives in his |
Tx:10.53 | The ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit accepts. The appreciation of | wholeness comes only through acceptance, for to analyze means to |

Tx:15.109 | you who welcome Him is returned to Him. And we but celebrate His | Wholeness as we welcome Him into ourselves. Those who receive the |
Tx:16.39 | attainable removes your own sense of completion and thus denies the | wholeness of your Father. Every fantasy, be it of love or hate, |

Tx:18.4 | it was the substitution of illusion for truth, of fragmentation for | wholeness. It has become so splintered and subdivided and divided |
Tx:19.1 | peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion by which the | wholeness of the dedication can be safely assumed. Yet we also said |
Tx:19.6 | mind is limited to the body and divided into little parts of seeming | wholeness but without connection. This will not harm the body, but it |
Tx:19.29 | it seems as if the line must have been broken. Yet at the line, its | wholeness is apparent. Everything seen from the spiral is |
Tx:26.4 | be denied if any sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness to the | wholeness of God's Son is seen within a world of separate bodies, |
Tx:28.60 | false. What will can come between what must be one, and in Whose | wholeness there can be no gap? |
Tx:28.61 | is a part of God Himself. Are you not sick if you deny yourself your | wholeness and your health, the Source of help, the Call to healing, |
Tx:29.1 | feared. There is no way in which a gap could be conceived of in the | wholeness that is His. The compromise the least and littlest gap |
Tx:30.40 | Behind the search for every idol lies the yearning for completion. | Wholeness has no form because it is unlimited. To seek a special |

C:7.17 | that is specific and not generalizable. All relationship exists in | wholeness. The small examples used earlier were meant to help you |
C:7.18 | your image of your brain. Let this image go and concentrate on the | wholeness of your heart, no matter how you view its current |

C:8.4 | here, wears no faces, and bears no symbols. It is a memory of | wholeness, of all to all. |
C:8.13 | Do you see now why unity and | wholeness go hand in hand? Why you cannot withhold a piece of |
C:8.13 | would you withhold for? And whom would you withhold from? Unity is | wholeness. All for all. |
C:8.15 | does not abide in it and nor do you. Separate bodies cannot unite in | wholeness. They were made to keep wholeness from you and to convince |
C:8.15 | Separate bodies cannot unite in wholeness. They were made to keep | wholeness from you and to convince you of the illusion of your |
C:9.37 | What is missing in you is found in another and together a sense of | wholeness is achieved. |
C:9.38 | Again this is but a distortion of creation. You remember that | wholeness is achieved through union, but not how to accomplish it. |
C:10.2 | thing to make another—joining makes each one whole, and in this | wholeness one with all. This union has never really ceased to be, but |
C:10.3 | wait awhile before implementing. What you truly do not understand is | wholeness. All things exist in wholeness, including the thought |
C:10.3 | What you truly do not understand is wholeness. All things exist in | wholeness, including the thought system that you made to protect the |
C:10.4 | of God that resides in you, not in separation but in the eternal | wholeness in which God and you together exist in truth. |
C:17.17 | concepts. But now we begin to integrate your learning as we move to | wholeness. The first move toward wholeness is but to understand this: |
C:17.17 | your learning as we move to wholeness. The first move toward | wholeness is but to understand this: heart and mind are not separate. |
C:18.5 | if it is just an illustration, it illustrates that none of us leave | wholeness or each other. |
C:18.8 | that cannot take you away from the internal world where you exist in | wholeness, a link in the chain of creation. Imagine again this chain |
C:20.12 | into the embrace, the source of all beginnings, the kernel and the | wholeness of all life. The whole exists untroubled by what it will |
C:20.20 | Is it possible to have a concept of | wholeness, of all, and for it not to exist? And how could it exist |
C:20.26 | a peace that implies an absence but a peace that implies a fullness. | Wholeness is peaceful. Only separation creates conflict. |
C:25.21 | the whole. Comprehension of the whole is aided by a return to | wholeness of the Self. Until wholeness of the Self is complete, |
C:25.21 | of the whole is aided by a return to wholeness of the Self. Until | wholeness of the Self is complete, discernment is necessary. |
C:27.14 | happening. It looks past perception of “others” to relationship and | wholeness. To live in relationship is to live in harmony even with |
C:29.4 | of the cycle of giving and receiving, and the beginning of | wholeness. |
C:29.14 | No | wholeness will be possible for you while you look at life in terms of |
C:29.14 | in terms of schedules, plans, time-tables, or things to get done. No | wholeness will be possible for you while you compartmentalize your |
C:31.1 | however, more rightly confirms your interdependence and your | wholeness. |
C:31.30 | because you are seeking to complete yourself. You are seeking | wholeness. And you are even correct in seeking it from your brothers |
T1:1.2 | While A Course of Love has led you to a state of | wholeness of mind and heart, or wholeheartedness, your realization of |
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 |
T1:9.12 | male and female attributes within you causes a merging of both and a | wholeness to be achieved, so too does a wholeness then come about |
T1:9.12 | a merging of both and a wholeness to be achieved, so too does a | wholeness then come about with conception and action, inspiration and |
T1:9.16 | in its impact. It would seem to be about balance but is about | wholeness. Male and female are labels laden with attributes. When the |
T1:9.16 | different attributes are merged, male and female will be no more and | wholeness will reign. |
T4:2.22 | with God, just as you separated yourself from relationship with the | wholeness of the pattern of creation. You have believed in God and |
D:4.14 | how you live arises. The truth is a system of thought. It exists in | wholeness and has always been available. |
D:4.29 | it is a life of meaning and purpose. This return is the return of | wholeness. This return is not selfish on your part, but magnanimous. |
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:4.29 | on your part, but magnanimous. It returns wholeness to you and | wholeness to the divine design. It returns creation to what it is. |
D:6.26 | once again and your form will merely represent one aspect of your | wholeness in the field of time. |
D:7.6 | who you are and what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of | wholeness. Being whole is being all you are. Being all you are is |
D:7.9 | living things is, in other words, whole. By seeing only aspects of | wholeness you have not seen content nor matter truly. You have not |
D:7.14 | with the separated self. Now, because your relationship is with | wholeness, you can transfer love from the particular to the universal |
D:8.11 | where all you desire is already accomplished in the fullness and | wholeness of the undivided Self. |
D:8.12 | of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the place of | wholeness. The natural ability that you recognize as a given and |
D:12.19 | you. Union includes you, just as the All of Everything, the whole of | wholeness, the one of oneness, include you. We are, in unity, one |
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:15.6 | which is why these principles of unity must be seen as the undivided | wholeness of the principle of unity before creation of the new can |
D:16.1 | movement, being, and expression come together into the recreation of | wholeness that will be expressed in the elevated Self of form. |
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:16.10 | happening to you. Creation's purpose, creation's cause and effect is | wholeness and the continuing expression of wholeness. While it was |
D:16.10 | cause and effect is wholeness and the continuing expression of | wholeness. While it was said in “A Treatise on the New”, that “Now is |
D:17.19 | to move into the state of communion with God, full oneness with God, | wholeness. |
D:Day1.25 | joining together of all of the parts of the creation story into the | wholeness of the story's end. As a story is seen to move from one |
D:Day1.29 | end of the story that is to be fulfilled, brought to completion and | wholeness in you and in me, so that together we bring about the |
D:Day4.54 | the Self of unity. You are about to achieve your first glimpse of | wholeness, of oneness with God. To know the truth of your inheritance. |
D:Day5.14 | 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 express love |
D:Day9.25 | or inspired ideas, but all the givens that combined create the | wholeness and the holiness of who you are. A creator who desired only |
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:Day14.6 | power. Your power is the power of the many and the one that exist in | wholeness within the spacious Self. |
D:Day15.10 | thus the joining of the self with the spacious Self in oneness and | wholeness must precede this step. This power cannot be misused |
D:Day15.21 | you through the exchange of dialogue. While you are asked to promote | wholeness and the sustainability of Christ-consciousness with others |
D:Day16.6 | been rejected or ejected. All that has been expelled is part of the | wholeness of the self. As what was ejected or rejected and became |
D:Day16.9 | fully aware of the present. The present is the time of no time, | wholeness, where all that is real and all that was ever real exists. |
D:Day17.8 | in the sense that all the given components are necessary for | wholeness. Representation of the power of Christ-consciousness in |
D:Day18.2 | ways are rather complementary and symbiotic. Together they return | wholeness and will bring about the completion of the time of Christ. |
D:Day19.4 | you express who you are—by the way you express your content—your | wholeness. Those who use their gifts to create the truth they see are |
D:Day24.2 | What is unaltered remains unaltered despite its many manifestations. | Wholeness exists in every cell, in each of every smallest particle of |
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 | 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:4.50 | that it wants it without ambivalence, and this kind of wanting is | wholly without the ego's “drive to get.” There is a kind of |

Tx:5.2 | love and joy. Therefore, the only possible whole state is the | wholly joyous. To heal or to make joyous is therefore the same as to |
Tx:5.5 | revelation is an experience of pure joy. If you do not choose to be | wholly joyous, your mind cannot have what it does not choose to |
Tx:5.94 | I have already told you that whenever you are not | wholly joyous it is because you have reacted with a lack of love to |
Tx:5.95 | you realize that you must already have made a decision not to be | wholly joyous if that is how you feel. Therefore, the first step in |

Tx:6.42 | it that it is perfectly safe forever. The perfectly safe are | wholly benign. They bless because they know they are blessed. |
Tx:6.42 | because they know they are blessed. Without anxiety the mind is | wholly kind, and because it projects beneficence, it is |
Tx:6.51 | because the first question was never asked. Having finally been | wholly answered, it has never been. Being alone lives in the |
Tx:6.57 | Him so that He cannot impart His joy and know that His Children are | wholly joyous. This is an ongoing process, not in time, but in |
Tx:6.80 | because nothing is difficult that is wholly desired. To desire | wholly is to create, and creating cannot be difficult if God |
Tx:6.83 | everything that does not foster joy, and so He alone can keep you | wholly joyous. |

Tx:8.36 | The undivided will of the Sonship is the perfect creator, being | wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it is. You cannot be |

Tx:8.77 | not know anything, we said the one thing about the ego that is | wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is being and |

Tx:9.67 | everything the instant you desire it wholly, for if to desire | wholly is to create, you will have willed away the separation, |
Tx:9.101 | the acknowledgment of yourself as you are. Your Father created you | wholly without sin, wholly without pain, and wholly without suffering |
Tx:9.101 | of yourself as you are. Your Father created you wholly without sin, | wholly without pain, and wholly without suffering of any kind. If you |
Tx:9.101 | Your Father created you wholly without sin, wholly without pain, and | wholly without suffering of any kind. If you deny Him, you bring sin, |

Tx:9.104 | blasphemous to perceive them as guilty. If God knows His Children as | wholly without pain, it is blasphemous to perceive suffering |
Tx:9.104 | to perceive suffering anywhere. If God knows His Children to be | wholly joyous, it is blasphemous to feel depressed. All of these |
Tx:10.21 | fulfill it, for only in this can your will and your Father's be | wholly joined. To have Him is to be like Him, and He has given |
Tx:10.36 | Christ is at God's altar, waiting to welcome His Son. But come | wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will believe that the |
Tx:10.37 | waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His Son as | wholly blameless as Himself, and He is approached through the |
Tx:10.76 | the meaning of anything you perceive. Not one thought you hold is | wholly true. The recognition of this is your firm beginning. You are |
Tx:11.37 | ego is part of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not | wholly split off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is |
Tx:11.99 | You, then, are saved because God's Son is guiltless. And being | wholly pure, you are invulnerable. |
Tx:12.52 | union with them is your continuity, unbroken because it is | wholly shared. God's guiltless Son is only light. There is no |

Tx:13.32 | in any way. His shining purity, wholly untouched by guilt and | wholly loving, is bright within you. Let us look upon him together |
Tx:13.35 | ravaged and torn in endless battles which he himself perceives as | wholly without meaning. |
Tx:13.37 | that you value here. For nothing that you value here you value | wholly, and so you do not value it at all. Value is where God placed |
Tx:13.38 | in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is | wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what is |
Tx:13.38 | Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of being | wholly shared. It can also show you the results of sharing while |
Tx:13.42 | share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be | wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace will be yours, because |
Tx:13.50 | all this has been denied, your thought system is closed off and | wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane world, and do |
Tx:13.51 | Seeing is always outward. Were your thoughts | wholly of you, the thought system which you made would be forever |
Tx:13.71 | nothing to forgive. No one can hurt the Son of God. His guilt is | wholly without cause, and being without cause, cannot exist. |
Tx:13.76 | of the perfect purity of everything that He created, for it is | wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for being of Him, it must be |
Tx:14.7 | Blessed Son of a | wholly blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn |
Tx:14.19 | so you do not realize that only one means anything, and the other is | wholly without sense of any kind. |
Tx:14.32 | be released from littleness to glory. To what He promised God He is | wholly faithful, for He shared with God the promise that was given |
Tx:14.33 | that is not equally worthy of both but will be replaced by gifts | wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to God? |
Tx:14.63 | God, by which to recognize if what you learned is true. If you are | wholly free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even |
Tx:15.17 | all fear. For the instant of peace is eternal because it is | wholly without fear. It will come, being the lesson God gives you |
Tx:15.20 | You will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have | wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no |
Tx:15.33 | If you are | wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to |
Tx:15.42 | honestly, “Would I want to have perfect communication, and am I | wholly willing to let everything that interferes with it go forever?” |
Tx:15.57 | our faith in God's Son because we recognize together that he is | wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation of his worth, we |
Tx:15.65 | given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. Being | wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything. This is not the |
Tx:15.86 | seeing it exactly as it is. For it is impossible to recognize as | wholly without gratification what you think you want. The body is |
Tx:15.91 | only the attraction of God. Accepting it as undivided, you join Him | wholly in an instant. [For you would place no limits on your union |
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:16.38 | Across the bridge is your completion, for you will be | wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be wholly like |
Tx:16.38 | will be wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be | wholly like unto Him, completing Him by your completion. Fear not |
Tx:16.38 | and where everything fails to satisfy. In the Name of God, be | wholly willing to abandon all illusions. In any relationship in |
Tx:16.38 | to abandon all illusions. In any relationship in which you are | wholly willing to accept completion, and only this, there is God |
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 | Would He not answer you whose completion is His? He loves you | wholly without illusion, as you must love. For love is wholly |
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:16.65 | of love in any special relationship here. For you are no longer | wholly insane, and you would recognize the guilt of self-betrayal for |
Tx:16.67 | yield to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the | wholly insane could look on death and suffering, sickness and despair |
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:17.41 | you the whole of creation in exchange for your little picture, | wholly without value and entirely deprived of meaning. |
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:22.33 | of everything, the wall that stands between you and the truth, is | wholly true. Yet how can sight which stops at nothingness as if it |
Tx:22.47 | to keep love out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended and | wholly undefending, for in this quiet state alone is strength and |
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:23.54 | present, and their future always the same, eternally complete, and | wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could ever |
Tx:24.26 | and makes it sin. How can he then give his forgiveness | wholly, when he would not receive it for himself? For it is sure he |
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 |
W1:19.2 | again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a | wholly welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an |
W1:27.1 | of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be | wholly true a little nearer. |
W1:29.4 | particularly tempting in connection with today's idea because of its | wholly alien nature. Remember that any order you impose is equally |
W1:44.5 | Your mind is no longer | wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise |
W1:45.10 | since then will change, but the foundation on which they rest is | wholly changeless. It is this foundation toward which the exercises |
W1:49.2 | that is listening to the Voice of God is calm, always at rest, and | wholly certain. It is really the only part there is. The other part |
W1:66.3 | Today we will try to go past this | wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your |
W1:67.2 | the longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its | wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating |
W1:72.4 | for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator | wholly unlike his creation is inconceivable. |
W1:73.10 | with the recognition that God's plan for salvation, and only His, is | wholly in accord with your will. It is not the purpose of an alien |
W1:74.2 | for today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself is | wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without |
W1:83.7 | my function. The oneness of my happiness and my function remains | wholly unaffected by this. Nothing, including this, can justify the |
W1:101.3 | before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but | wholly just. |
W1:103.6 | the day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and | wholly true: |
W1:108.1 | all your conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is | wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind |
W1:108.5 | will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one brother | wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these are but |
W1:125.9 | Will, at one with It, with no illusions interposed between the | wholly indivisible and true. |
W1:129.4 | what they say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and | wholly shared and wholly one. |
W1:129.4 | be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared and | wholly one. |
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 |

W1:158.1 | 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 |

W1:191.9 | 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 |

W2:234.1 | 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:8.6 | outside world. And of these two, but one is real. Just as reality is | wholly real, apart from size and shape and time and place—for |
M:10.3 | is no distortion in his perception, so that his judgment would be | wholly fair to everyone on whom it rests, now and in the future. Who |
M:10.4 | judgment on everyone and everything involved in any way. And He is | wholly fair to everyone, for there is no distortion in His perception. |
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: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 | 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:2.72 | 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:2.105 | 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: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:3.49 | 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:3.71 | 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: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 | 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:4.14 | 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:4.44 | 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 | apart from the Father and from the Son. I myself said, “If I go I | will send you another comforter, and He will abide with you.” The |
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:5.20 | no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit | will remain with the Sons of God to bless their creations and keep |
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 | the same decision for yourself. The will for this decision is the | will to share it, because the decision itself is the decision to |
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:5.40 | be given away, just as the idea of unity can. Either way, the idea | will be strengthened in the mind of the giver. |
Tx:5.41 | can deal with an unwilling learner without going counter to his | will because part of his will is still for God. Despite the ego's |
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:5.56 | have been sufficiently purified, He lets you give them away. The | will to share them is their purification. |
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:5.65 | of magical solution. The ego believes that by punishing itself it | will mitigate the punishment of God. Yet even in this it is arrogant. |
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:5.70 | full creation at any minute if it accepts the Atonement first. It | will also turn back to full creation the instant it has done so. |
Tx:5.72 | of future retaliation or abandonment and thus ensure that the future | will remain like the past. This is the ego's continuity and gives it |
Tx:5.72 | of eternity in exchange. When you choose to make this exchange, you | will simultaneously exchange guilt for joy, viciousness for love, and |
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:5.72 | your will and make it free. Your ego cannot accept this freedom and | will oppose your free decision at every possible moment and in every |

Tx:5.75 | also “The wicked shall perish.” There are many others, but if you | will let the Holy Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they |
Tx:5.75 | will let the Holy Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they | will suffice. |
Tx:5.76 | reap” merely means that what you believe to be worth cultivating you | will cultivate in yourself. Your judgment of what is worthy makes |
Tx:5.76 | cannot be shared. Give it therefore to the Holy Spirit, who | will undo it in you because it does not belong in your mind, which is |
Tx:5.77 | “I | will visit the sins of the fathers unto the third and fourth |
Tx:5.78 | The ego | will not be destroyed because it is part of your thought, but |
Tx:5.78 | from fear. The part of your thought which you have given to the ego | will merely return to the Kingdom, where your whole mind belongs. |

Tx:5.79 | yourself is up to you.” The Higher Court will not condemn you. It | will merely dismiss the case against you. There can be no case |
Tx:5.80 | Court, because it speaks for Him and therefore speaks truly. It | will dismiss the case against you, however carefully you have built |
Tx:5.80 | case may be foolproof, but it is not God-proof. The Voice for God | will not hear it at all because He can only witness truly. His |
Tx:5.80 | not hear it at all because He can only witness truly. His verdict | will always be “Thine is the Kingdom” because He was given you to |
Tx:5.81 | God worth patience? I have shown you infinite patience because my | will is that of our Father, from Whom I learned of infinite |
Tx:5.82 | We have repeatedly said that time is a learning device which | will be abolished when it is no longer useful. The Holy Spirit, Who |
Tx:5.83 | also in this course under many different terms. For example, “God | will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed (or set) on Him,” |
Tx:5.89 | your creation, and the pull of this fixation is so strong that you | will never overcome it. The reason is perfectly clear. The fixation |
Tx:5.90 | care. You cannot choose to escape His care because that is not His | Will, but you can choose to accept His care and use the infinite |
Tx:5.91 | it. He asks you only for what He gave, knowing that this giving | will heal you. Sanity is wholeness, and the sanity of your brothers |
Tx:5.93 | for everything you have made which is not in accord with His holy | Will. I have made His plan perfectly explicit to you and have also |
Tx:5.94 | this implies guilt. If you allow yourself to feel guilty, you | will reinforce the error rather than allow it to be undone for |
Tx:5.95 | following as sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy Spirit | will respond fully to your slightest invitation: |
Tx:5.96 | to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit | will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let |

Tx:6.43 | this. Teach attack in any form, and you have learned it, and it | will hurt you. Yet your learning is not immortal, and you can |
Tx:6.43 | exact opposite of everything the ego believes. This is how you | will learn the truth that will set you free and keep you so, as |
Tx:6.43 | the ego believes. This is how you will learn the truth that | will set you free and keep you so, as others learn it of you. The |
Tx:6.45 | moment. If it meant you well, it would be glad, as the Holy Spirit | will be glad when He has brought you home and you no longer need His |
Tx:6.48 | attack and wants you to believe it. Unless you do believe it you | will not side with it, and the ego feels badly in need of allies |
Tx:6.50 | dreams, but the sleep is not real, and God calls you to awake. There | will be nothing left of your dream when you hear Him, because you |
Tx:6.50 | only because you were asleep and did not know. When you awake, you | will see the truth around you and in you, and you will no longer |
Tx:6.50 | you awake, you will see the truth around you and in you, and you | will no longer believe in dreams because they will have no reality |
Tx:6.50 | and in you, and you will no longer believe in dreams because they | will have no reality for you. |
Tx:6.51 | Yet the Kingdom and all that you have created there | will have great reality for you, because they are beautiful and true. |
Tx:6.53 | find it and a means to keep it. You have a model to follow who | will strengthen your command and never detract from it in any way. |
Tx:6.58 | you wake children better and more kindly than by a gentle Voice that | will not frighten them but will merely remind them that the night is |
Tx:6.58 | more kindly than by a gentle Voice that will not frighten them but | will merely remind them that the night is over and the light has |

Tx:6.58 | they need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they | will call on the light themselves to dispel them. |
Tx:6.59 | it might hurt you and make you unsafe, but if you do that you | will escape from harm and be safe, and then you will not be afraid.” |
Tx:6.59 | if you do that you will escape from harm and be safe, and then you | will not be afraid.” All of this could be included in only three |
Tx:6.61 | When your body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you | will know that you will last forever. Many think this is |
Tx:6.61 | body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you | will last forever. Many think this is accomplished through death, but |
Tx:6.61 | all. Like any other impossible solution which the ego attempts, it | will not work. |
Tx:6.71 | from it. All good teachers realize that only fundamental change | will last, but they do not begin at that level. Strengthening |
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:6.87 | although it does not deny that the temptation to make exceptions | will occur. Here, then, your consistency is called on despite |
Tx:6.88 | choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the Holy Spirit | will ultimately be able to teach you that you need not choose at |
Tx:6.88 | be able to teach you that you need not choose at all. This | will finally liberate your will from choice and direct it towards |
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:6.89 | you are teaching peace because you believe in it. The final step | will still be taken for you by God, but by the third step the Holy |

Tx:6.92 | you let doubt enter, you will lose awareness of its wholeness and | will be unable to teach it. |
Tx:6.94 | of your mind outside it. What you have made has thus divided your | will and given you a sick mind which must be healed. Your vigilance |
Tx:6.94 | was required of me as much as of you, but remember that those who | will to teach the same thing must be in agreement about what they |
Tx:6.95 | but I also told you that the third one follows it. The Holy Spirit | will enable you to go on if you follow Him. Your vigilance is the |
Tx:7.4 | not bargain. To bargain is to limit giving, and this is not God's | Will. To will with God is to create like Him. God does not limit His |
Tx:7.4 | To bargain is to limit giving, and this is not God's Will. To | will with God is to create like Him. God does not limit His gifts in |
Tx:7.7 | said to] take was therefore true in the beginning, is true now, and | will be true forever. |
Tx:7.8 | it was never hidden. His light was never obscured, because it is His | Will to share it. How can what is fully shared be withheld and |
Tx:7.12 | Those who are against freedom believe that its outcome | will hurt them, which cannot be true. But those who are for |
Tx:7.12 | Whenever anyone can listen fairly to both sides of any issue, he | will make the right decision. This is because he has the answer. |
Tx:7.14 | is essential. This form of the law clearly implies that you | will learn what you are from what you have projected onto others |
Tx:7.15 | because conflicted minds cannot be faithful to one meaning and | will therefore change the meaning to preserve the form. |
Tx:7.17 | consistent. You forget in order to remember better. You | will not understand His translations while you listen to two ways |
Tx:7.21 | thing is certain—abilities are potentials for learning, and you | will apply them to what you want to learn. Learning is effort, |
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:7.40 | emphasized, you teach what you do believe. An inconsistent lesson | will be poorly taught and poorly learned. If you teach both |
Tx:7.49 | or better, an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you | will never love. The other shows you only truth, which you will love, |
Tx:7.49 | which you will never love. The other shows you only truth, which you | will love, because you will understand it. Understanding is |
Tx:7.49 | The other shows you only truth, which you will love, because you | will understand it. Understanding is appreciation, because what |
Tx:7.53 | This light | will shine back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is |
Tx:7.53 | on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He | will accept it and give it to the Sonship, because it is acceptable |
Tx:7.54 | however, for you to see something in part of it that you | will not attribute to all of it. That is why attack is never |
Tx:7.54 | includes his perception of God, of His creations, and of his own. He | will not appreciate any of them if he regards them fearfully. He |
Tx:7.54 | will not appreciate any of them if he regards them fearfully. He | will appreciate all of them if he regards them with love. |
Tx:7.55 | not of your making. Your ability to direct your thinking as you | will is part of its power. If you do not believe you can do this, |
Tx:7.57 | its continuance if you side with it by guaranteeing that you | will not know your own safety. The ego cannot afford to know |
Tx:7.59 | make illusions, but it does follow that if it makes illusions it | will believe in them, because that is how it made them. |
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:7.77 | brothers theirs. Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you | will perceive yourself as lacking. |
Tx:7.79 | another, this is what he believes. Projection always sees your | will in others. If you will to separate yourself from God, that is |
Tx:7.79 | he believes. Projection always sees your will in others. If you | will to separate yourself from God, that is what you will think |
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:7.93 | to share its being as its Creator did. Created by sharing, its | will is to create. It does not wish to contain God but to extend |
Tx:7.95 | knows of them and can bring them into your awareness whenever you | will let Him. They are there as part of your own being, because your |
Tx:7.96 | and thus have not failed to secure it for yourselves. If it was the | Will of God to give it to you, He gave it forever. If it was His Will |
Tx:7.96 | the Will of God to give it to you, He gave it forever. If it was His | Will that you have it forever, He gave you the means for keeping it, |
Tx:7.96 | the means for keeping it, and you have done so. Disobeying God's | Will is meaningful only to the insane. In truth it is impossible. |
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:7.100 | yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The Holy Spirit | will direct you only so as to avoid pain. The undoing of pain must |
Tx:7.101 | the ego and, as long as you are in doubt about what you are, you | will be confused about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of |
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 | We said before that you are the Will of God. His | Will is not an idle wish, and your identification with His Will is |
Tx:7.105 | His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification with His | Will is not optional, since it is what you are. Sharing His Will |
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:7.105 | not accomplished by your wish. It was accomplished for you by the | Will of God, Who has not left you comfortless. His Voice will teach |
Tx:7.105 | have made. There is no confusion in the mind of a Son of God whose | will must be the Will of the Father, because the Father's Will is |
Tx:7.105 | no confusion in the mind of a Son of God whose will must be the | Will of the Father, because the Father's Will is His Son. |
Tx:7.105 | whose will must be the Will of the Father, because the Father's | Will is His Son. |
Tx:7.106 | Miracles are in accord with the | Will of God Whose Will you do not know, because you are confused |
Tx:7.106 | Miracles are in accord with the Will of God Whose | Will you do not know, because you are confused about what you will. |
Tx:7.106 | Will you do not know, because you are confused about what you | will. This means that you are confused about what you are. If you |
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 | will is free, because you will not listen to it. It is not your | will to be imprisoned, because your will is free. That is why the |
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:8.16 | because there is no limit on your minds. There is no limit on His | Will to teach, because He was created [by unlimited Will in order] |
Tx:8.16 | no limit on His Will to teach, because He was created [by unlimited | Will in order] to teach. Knowing His function perfectly, He |
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:8.18 | upon it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you how to do this, for you | will know what it means of God Himself. |
Tx:8.19 | meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you | will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you |
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 | it be perfectly accomplished? My mission was simply to unite the | will of the Sonship with the Will of the Father by being aware of the |
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:8.28 | 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 go to them with you so we can |
Tx:8.28 | His Will. As God sent me to you, so will I send you to others, and I | will go to them with you so we can teach them [union and peace]. |
Tx:8.29 | world as much as you want to receive it? For unless you do, you | will not receive it. If you will to have it of me, you must give |
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 | The will to unite must be unequivocal, or the | will itself is divided or not whole. Your will is the means by |
Tx:8.31 | be unequivocal, or the will itself is divided or not whole. Your | will is the means by which you determine your own condition, because |
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 | be unequal. All things are possible through our joint will, but my | will alone cannot help you. Your will is as free as mine, and God |
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:8.116 | what you receive. Valuing it little, you will not appreciate it and | will not want it. |
Tx:8.118 | you see Him. If you see Him in everyone, consider how much you | will be asking of Him and how much you will receive. He will deny |
Tx:8.118 | consider how much you will be asking of Him and how much you | will receive. He will deny you nothing because you have denied Him |
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:8.119 | Because I | will to know myself, I see you as God's Son and my brother. |
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:9.14 | not let any belief in its realness enter your minds at all, or you | will also believe that you must undo what you have made in order to |
Tx:9.15 | of grandiosity and confusion which makes it likely that the ego | will attack anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is exactly |
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:9.18 | find it. The symbols of fantasy are of the ego, and of these you | will find many. But do not look for meaning in them. They have no |
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:9.71 | 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 | 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:10.24 | this be real if He did not will to be alone Himself? And if your | will is His, it cannot be true of you because it is not true of |
Tx:10.25 | When the light comes and you have said, “God's | Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you will know it is |
Tx:10.25 | When the light comes and you have said, “God's Will is mine,” you | will see such beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of |
Tx:10.25 | have said, “God's Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you | will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you will create beauty |
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:11.61 | you will gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you | will be made whole, and the Atonement will radiate from your |
Tx:11.61 | in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and the Atonement | will radiate from your acceptance of it for yourself to everyone |
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:11.73 | a judgment of what you beheld within. If it is your judgment, it | will be wrong, for judgment is not your function. If it is the |
Tx:11.73 | is not your function. If it is the judgment of the Holy Spirit, it | will be right, for judgment is His function. You share His function |
Tx:11.73 | as He does, reserving no judgment at all unto yourselves. For you | will judge against yourselves, but He will judge for you. |
Tx:11.73 | unto yourselves. For you will judge against yourselves, but He | will judge for you. |
Tx:11.74 | of its feeling for you, it lets you live but to await death. It | will torment you while you live, but its hatred is not satisfied |
Tx:11.74 | is the one end toward which it works, and the only end with which it | will be satisfied. |
Tx:11.75 | have been treacherous to God and therefore deserve death. You | will think that death comes from God and not from the ego because, |
Tx:11.76 | to yield to the desire for death, remember that I did not die. You | will realize that this is true when you look within and see me. |
Tx:11.76 | also given it to you? When you learn to make me manifest, you | will never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless in |
Tx:11.76 | you learn to make me manifest, you will never see death. For you | will have looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you will see |
Tx:11.76 | For you will have looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you | will see only the eternal as you look out upon a world that cannot |
Tx:11.77 | that you cannot see it. If you seek love in order to attack it, you | will never find it. For if love is sharing, how can you find it |
Tx:11.77 | how can you find it except through itself? Offer it and it | will come to you because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and |
Tx:11.77 | come to you because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and it | will remain hidden, for it can live only in peace. |
Tx:11.80 | in his memory. You can deny it, but you cannot lose it. A Voice | will answer every question you ask, and a Vision will correct the |
Tx:11.80 | lose it. A Voice will answer every question you ask, and a Vision | will correct the perception of everything you see. For what you have |
Tx:11.84 | But take it from the hand of Christ and look upon it. Its reality | will make everything else invisible, for beholding it is total |
Tx:11.84 | for beholding it is total perception. And as you look upon it, you | will remember that it was always so. Nothingness will become |
Tx:11.84 | look upon it, you will remember that it was always so. Nothingness | will become invisible, for you will at last have seen truly. Redeemed |
Tx:11.84 | that it was always so. Nothingness will become invisible, for you | will at last have seen truly. Redeemed perception is easily |
Tx:11.85 | the mind being judged, believing that by punishing another, it | will escape punishment. All this is but the delusional attempt of the |
Tx:11.86 | of those made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this world, and you | will realize that this is so. For this world is the symbol of |
Tx:11.88 | realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you | will see. Yet you will not realize this until you accept the eternal |
Tx:11.88 | Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see. Yet you | will not realize this until you accept the eternal fact that God's |
Tx:11.91 | Time seems to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it | will roll up like a long carpet which has spread along the past |
Tx:11.91 | up like a long carpet which has spread along the past behind you and | will disappear. As long as you believe the Son of God is guilty, you |
Tx:11.91 | will disappear. As long as you believe the Son of God is guilty, you | will walk along this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And |
Tx:11.91 | along this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And the journey | will seem long and cruel and senseless, for so it is. |
Tx:11.92 | cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he sees | will never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy Spirit |
Tx:11.93 | You | will see me as you learn the Son of God is guiltless. He has always |
Tx:11.93 | of his purity shines untouched forever in God's Mind. God's Son | will always be as he was created. Deny your world and judge him |
Tx:11.94 | When you have accepted the Atonement for yourselves, you | will realize that there is no guilt in God's Son. And only as you |
Tx:11.95 | As you perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you | will realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The |
Tx:11.96 | on to the past only through guilt. For guilt establishes that you | will be punished for what you have done and thus depends on |
Tx:12.3 | it is blind. Yet let it perceive guiltlessness anywhere, and it | will try to destroy it because it is afraid. |
Tx:12.6 | of this course stems ultimately from this interpretation, but if you | will consider your reactions to it, you will become increasingly |
Tx:12.6 | interpretation, but if you will consider your reactions to it, you | will become increasingly convinced that this is so. |
Tx:12.7 | you are afraid of it. You have been told again and again that it | will make you free, yet you react as if it is trying to imprison you. |
Tx:12.8 | with gladness. You are afraid of redemption, and you believe it | will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you |
Tx:12.8 | of your fear. For you believe that in the presence of truth you | will turn on yourself and destroy yourself. |
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 | is nothing, and if you will but bring it to the light, the light | will dispel it. And then no dark cloud will remain between you and |
Tx:12.9 | it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no dark cloud | will remain between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you |
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:12.9 | remembering, for it is the recognition of love without fear. There | will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the joy will be |
Tx:12.9 | There will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the joy | will be yours. For the redeemed son of man is the guiltless Son |
Tx:12.10 | Atonement, which you do not yet realize. We have said that no one | will countenance fear if he recognizes it. Yet in your disordered |
Tx:12.12 | still deeper than the ego's foundation, and much stronger than it | will ever be, is your intense and burning love of God, and His for |
Tx:12.13 | attacking your fortress, for you would shut out God, and He does not | will to be excluded. |
Tx:12.15 | where it is not welcome. But hatred can, for it enters of its | will and cares not for yours. |
Tx:12.17 | carefully for any thoughts which you may fear to uncover. For He | will heal every little thought which you have kept to hurt you and |
Tx:12.18 | calls you to Himself. In that place which you have hidden, you | will only to unite with the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You |
Tx:12.18 | will only to unite with the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You | will find this place of truth as you see it in your brothers, for |
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:12.18 | him or save him from what he is. Only his love is real, and he | will be content only with his reality. |
Tx:12.19 | Father in peace and joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you | will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the Holy Spirit is not |
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:12.22 | seek this place, and you will find it, for love is in you and | will lead you there. |
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 | present reality. In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you | will react to your brothers as though they were someone else, and |
Tx:12.27 | react to your brothers as though they were someone else, and this | will surely prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you |
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:12.32 | You too | will interpret the function of time as you interpret yours. If you |
Tx:12.32 | If you accept your function in the world of time as healing, you | will emphasize only the aspect of time in which healing can occur. |
Tx:12.32 | the past. But if you interpret your function as destruction, you | will lose sight of the present and hold on to the past to ensure a |
Tx:12.36 | they have condemned themselves. They do not wish to die, yet they | will not let condemnation go. And so they separate into their |
Tx:12.39 | if you offer it to yourself, you are offering it to Him. And He | will not return it, for it is unworthy of you because it is |
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 | would behold Him can see Him, for they have asked for light. Nor | will they see Him alone, for He is no more alone than they are. |
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:12.49 | are behind you, and unless you bring them with you, you | will see that you are free of them. |
Tx:12.50 | them to reach each other. The present is before time was and | will be when time is no more. In it is everything that is eternal, |
Tx:12.51 | to shine on you because you called them forth. And they | will not deny the truth in you because you looked for it in them 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:12.53 | you heal bear witness to your healing, for in their wholeness you | will see your own. And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to |
Tx:12.53 | And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to your Creator, He | will return your thanks in His clear answer to your call. For it can |
Tx:12.54 | Children of light, you know not that the light is in you. Yet you | will find it through its witnesses, for having given light to them, |
Tx:12.54 | it through its witnesses, for having given light to them, they | will return it. Everyone you see in light brings your light |
Tx:12.55 | forth to call you from the world and follow it. For this light | will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you will lay |
Tx:12.55 | this light will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you | will lay aside the world and find another. This other world is bright |
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 | shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. Your light | will join with theirs in power so compelling that it will draw the |
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:13.45 | Mind for you, and one which He will effect as surely as the ego | will not effect what it attempts. |
Tx:13.46 | the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of everyone | will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be released, and you |
Tx:13.46 | will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be released, and you | will not remember anything you made that was not created for you |
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 | Any direction which | will lead you where the Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. |
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:13.58 | 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 | it by holding it against you. Whether he does this or does it not | will make no difference; you will think he does. It is impossible |
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:13.74 | Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them what they | will without effort, strain, or the impossible burden of deciding |
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 | yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you | will speak to you. He will take His rightful place in your awareness |
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:15.69 | them truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at them, you | will offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not |
Tx:15.69 | gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not know, but you | will become willing to find out if you are willing, first, to |
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:15.74 | only need the ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt | will remain attractive to you. |
Tx:15.75 | be with a body is not communication. And if you think it is, you | will feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the |
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:16.5 | 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 | 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:16.31 | 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:17.69 | but will be gently turned to its use and purpose. The universe | will serve it gladly, as it serves the universe. But do not |
Tx:17.72 | other, or you are faithless to your own relationship. Your faith | will call the others to share your purpose, as this same purpose |
Tx:17.72 | as this same purpose called forth the faith in you. And you | will see the means you once employed to lead you to illusions |
Tx:17.72 | placed there was extended to every situation in which you enter or | will ever enter. And every situation was thus made free of the |
Tx:17.75 | faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it | will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. |
Tx:17.78 | is your only purpose. See only this in every situation, and it | will be a means for bringing only this. |
Tx:18.6 | rise to frighten you, say only, “God is not fear, but love,” and it | will disappear. |
Tx:18.7 | The truth | will save you. It has not left you to go out into the mad world and |
Tx:18.9 | you are with Him. The original error has not entered here, nor ever | will. Here is the radiant truth to which the Holy Spirit has |
Tx:18.13 | is offered you in your holy relationship. Accept it here, and you | will give as you have accepted. The peace of God is given you with |
Tx:18.16 | a time, it seems as if the world were given you, to make it what you | will. You do not realize that you are attacking it, trying to |
Tx:18.19 | waking. And while you see more value in sleeping than in waking, you | will not let go of it. |
Tx:18.20 | help to make His purpose real to you.] Your special relationship | will remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of |
Tx:18.20 | a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. It | will not be for you alone, for therein lay its misery. As its |
Tx:18.20 | its misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its holiness | will become an offering to everyone. |
Tx:18.21 | Your special relationship | will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your |
Tx:18.21 | undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your holy relationship. It | will be a happy dream, and one which you will share with all who come |
Tx:18.21 | your holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one which you | will share with all who come within your sight. Through it, the |
Tx:18.21 | Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon it | will be extended. Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the |
Tx:18.21 | who calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He | will waken everyone through you who offered your relationship to Him. |
Tx:18.23 | your mind, so do the real world and the truth of Heaven join in the | Will of God. The dream of waking is easily transferred to its |
Tx:18.23 | is easily transferred to its reality. For this dream comes from your | will joined with the Will of God. And what this will would have |
Tx:18.23 | to its reality. For this dream comes from your will joined with the | Will of God. And what this will would have accomplished has never |
Tx:18.23 | comes from your will joined with the Will of God. And what this | will would have accomplished has never not been done. |
Tx:18.25 | As the light comes nearer, you | will rush to darkness, shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating |
Tx:18.25 | back. Let us then join quickly in an instant of light, and it | will be enough to remind you that your goal is light. Truth has |
Tx:18.27 | not to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to each other. You | will succeed only in frightening yourselves. The gift is given |
Tx:18.27 | the wish to understand. That wish was the desire to be holy. The | Will of God is granted you. For you desire the only thing you ever |
Tx:18.28 | Each instant that we spend together | will teach you that this goal is possible and will strengthen your |
Tx:18.28 | that we spend together will teach you that this goal is possible and | will strengthen your desire to reach it. And in your desire lies its |
Tx:18.28 | is now in complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's | will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may take can separate |
Tx:18.28 | footsteps that you may take can separate your desire from His | Will and from His strength. I hold your hand as surely as you agreed |
Tx:18.28 | I hold your hand as surely as you agreed to take each other's. You | will not separate, for I stand with you and walk with you in your |
Tx:18.29 | would remain in darkness. Those who would see will see. And they | will join with me in carrying their light into the darkness when the |
Tx:18.31 | undertook apart and which led nowhere. You have found each other and | will light each other's way. And from this light will the Great Rays |
Tx:18.31 | each other and will light each other's way. And from this light | will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto God to |
Tx:18.32 | Do not attempt to give the Holy Spirit what He does not ask, or you | will add the ego unto Him and confuse the two. He asks but little. It |
Tx:18.34 | Humility | will never ask that you remain content with littleness. But it does |
Tx:18.34 | enter where He wills to be, you must be interfering with His | Will. You do not need the strength of willingness to come from you, |
Tx:18.34 | the strength of willingness to come from you, but only from His | Will. |
Tx:18.35 | of your small willingness combined with the unlimited power of God's | Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is needful to prepare |
Tx:18.38 | And that is all. Add more and you | will merely take away the little that is asked. Remember you made |
Tx:18.38 | to it and make salvation fearful. And it is only fear that you | will add if you prepare yourself for love. The preparation for the |
Tx:18.40 | and easy for you impossible. What you believe to be impossible | will be if God so wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of |
Tx:18.40 | you believe to be impossible will be if God so wills it, but you | will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the holy instant is |
Tx:18.42 | forgiven. On your little faith, joined with His understanding, He | will build your part in the Atonement and make sure that you fulfill |
Tx:18.42 | and make sure that you fulfill it easily. And with Him you | will build a ladder planted in the solid rock of faith and rising |
Tx:18.42 | planted in the solid rock of faith and rising even to Heaven. Nor | will you use it to ascend to Heaven alone. |
Tx:18.43 | blessed in every holy instant which you do not arrange, thousands | will rise to Heaven with you. Can you plan for this? Or could you |
Tx:18.43 | for such a function? Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor | will He change His Mind about it. The means and purpose both belong |
Tx:18.43 | and purpose both belong to Him. You have accepted one; the other | will be provided. A purpose such as this without the means is |

Tx:18.45 | useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a special function here. It | will become the happy dream through which He can spread joy to |
Tx:18.45 | He gave to your relationship by accepting it for you, and nothing | will be wanting that would make of it what He would have it be. |
Tx:18.46 | this instant for the holy one which you would rather have. He | will never fail in this. But forget not that your relationship is |

Tx:18.59 | If you will consider what this “transportation” really entails, you | will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body and a |
Tx:18.62 | a “breaking out,” but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For peace | will join you there simply because you have been willing to let go |
Tx:18.64 | this instant that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you | will see the body again, but never quite the same. And every instant |
Tx:18.66 | aimed at detachment from the body necessary. All such attempts | will ultimately succeed because of their purpose. Yet the means are |
Tx:18.67 | Your way | will be different, not in purpose but in means. A holy relationship |
Tx:18.68 | Here is the ultimate release which everyone | will one day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not need |
Tx:18.68 | a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you | will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation or |
Tx:18.69 | Into this place the Holy Spirit comes and there abides. He | will remain when you forget and the body's activities return to |
Tx:18.70 | Yet there | will always be this place of rest to which you can return. And you |
Tx:18.70 | will always be this place of rest to which you can return. And you | will be more aware of this quiet center of the storm than all its |
Tx:18.70 | all its raging activity. This quiet center, in which you do nothing, | will remain with you, giving you rest in the midst of every busy |
Tx:18.70 | of every busy doing on which you are sent. For from this center | will you be directed how to use the body sinlessly. It is this |
Tx:18.70 | sinlessly. It is this center, from which the body is absent, that | will keep it so in your awareness of it. |
Tx:18.72 | know. And while you limit your awareness to its tiny senses, you | will not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God cannot come into a |
Tx:18.72 | cannot come into a body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on love | will always seem to shut Him out and to keep you apart from Him. The |
Tx:18.79 | by love for them where once a desert was. And everyone you welcome | will bring love with him from Heaven for you. They enter one by one |
Tx:18.79 | Heaven for you. They enter one by one into this holy place, but they | will not depart as they had come, alone. The love they brought with |
Tx:18.79 | not depart as they had come, alone. The love they brought with them | will stay with them, as it will stay with you. And under its |
Tx:18.79 | alone. The love they brought with them will stay with them, as it | will stay with you. And under its beneficence, your little garden |
Tx:18.79 | will stay with you. And under its beneficence, your little garden | will expand and reach out to everyone who thirsts for living water |
Tx:18.80 | gently to your quiet garden and receive their blessing there. So | will it grow and stretch across the desert, leaving no lonely little |
Tx:18.80 | kingdoms locked away from love and leaving you inside. And you | will recognize yourself and see your little garden gently transformed |
Tx:18.81 | Love's answer is inevitable. It | will come because you came without the body and interposed no |
Tx:18.81 | offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for everything, you | will receive it. And your shining Self will lift the tiny aspect |
Tx:18.81 | for everything, you will receive it. And your shining Self | will lift the tiny aspect which you tried to hide from Heaven |
Tx:18.82 | yet let go of all the barriers you hold against each other. And you | will not be able to give love welcome separately. You could no more |
Tx:18.83 | between you. Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and it | will fall away. And walk into the garden love has prepared for both |
Tx:18.88 | which must always depend on keeping it not seen. The body's eyes | will never look on it. Yet they will see what it dictates. |
Tx:18.88 | it not seen. The body's eyes will never look on it. Yet they | will see what it dictates. |
Tx:18.89 | The body | will remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as long as |
Tx:18.89 | The body will remain guilt's messenger and | will act as it directs as long as you believe that guilt is real. For |
Tx:18.92 | clouds of guilt, no more impenetrable and no more substantial. You | will not bruise yourself against them in traveling through. Let your |
Tx:18.95 | This course | will lead to knowledge, but knowledge itself is still beyond the |
Tx:18.97 | of all that lies beyond it. Yet it is through forgiveness that it | will be remembered. |
Tx:18.98 | memory of God has come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you | will remember nothing else, and memory will be as useless as |

Tx:19.1 | can be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without faith | will never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as |
Tx:19.6 | into little parts of seeming wholeness but without connection. This | will not harm the body, but it will keep the delusional thought |
Tx:19.8 | Truth and illusion have no connection. This | will remain forever true, however much you seek to connect them. But |
Tx:19.14 | of you. Lay faithlessness aside and come to it together. There | will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was made again |
Tx:19.14 | as it was made again through faith. And there it is that you | will realize that there is nothing faith cannot forgive. No error |
Tx:19.15 | As faithlessness | will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith |
Tx:19.15 | faithlessness will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so | will faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy |
Tx:19.15 | goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet truth | will stay forever. |
Tx:19.17 | minds, not bodies, can attack. And thus the mind is guilty and | will forever so remain unless a mind not part of it can give it |
Tx:19.18 | what God created not. Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the | Will of God open to opposition and defeat. Sin is the “grand |
Tx:19.23 | For this is its reality; this is the “truth” from which escape | will always be impossible. This is his past, his present, and his |
Tx:19.25 | The attraction of guilt is found in sin, not error. Sin | will be repeated because of this attraction. Fear can become so |
Tx:19.25 | the acting out, but while the guilt remains attractive the mind | will suffer and not let go of the idea of sin. For guilt still calls |
Tx:19.25 | sick appeal. Sin is an idea of evil that cannot be corrected and | will be forever desirable. As an essential part of what the ego |
Tx:19.25 | desirable. As an essential part of what the ego thinks you are, you | will always want it. And only an avenger with a mind unlike your |
Tx:19.26 | be repeated endlessly.] For what you think is real you want and | will not let it go. An error, on the other hand, is not attractive. |
Tx:19.27 | And suddenly you change its status from a sin to a mistake. Now you | will not repeat it; you will merely stop and let it go unless the |
Tx:19.27 | its status from a sin to a mistake. Now you will not repeat it; you | will merely stop and let it go unless the guilt remains. For then |
Tx:19.27 | merely stop and let it go unless the guilt remains. For then you | will but change the form of sin, granting that it was an error but |
Tx:19.29 | can be easily corrected in the mind, although the body's eyes | will see no change. The eyes see many things the mind corrects, and |
Tx:19.32 | that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you | will believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you |
Tx:19.32 | will believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you | will find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the |
Tx:19.33 | For there would be a power beyond God's, capable of making another | will which could attack His Will and overcome it and give His Son a |
Tx:19.33 | beyond God's, capable of making another will which could attack His | Will and overcome it and give His Son a will apart from His and |
Tx:19.33 | which could attack His Will and overcome it and give His Son a | will apart from His and stronger. And each part of God's fragmented |
Tx:19.33 | And each part of God's fragmented creation would have a different | will, opposed to His and in eternal opposition to Him and to each |
Tx:19.34 | smile upon your lips and Heaven's blessing on your sight. You | will not see it long. For in the new perception, the mind corrects it |
Tx:19.34 | and quickly given to correction to be healed, not hidden. You | will be healed of sin and all its ravages the instant that you give |
Tx:19.34 | the instant that you give it no power over each other. And you | will help each other overcome mistakes by joyously releasing one |
Tx:19.35 | In the holy instant, you | will see the smile of heaven shining on both of you. And you will |
Tx:19.35 | you will see the smile of heaven shining on both of you. And you | will shine upon each other in glad acknowledgment of the grace that |
Tx:19.35 | in glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been given you. For sin | will not prevail against a union Heaven has smiled upon. Your |
Tx:19.35 | your eyes in faith to what you now can see. The barriers to heaven | will disappear before your holy sight, for you who were sightless |
Tx:19.37 | inside yourselves to embrace all the Sonship and give it rest, it | will encounter many obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose. |
Tx:19.37 | and give it rest, it will encounter many obstacles. Some of them you | will try to impose. Others will seem to arise from elsewhere—from |
Tx:19.37 | many obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose. Others | will seem to arise from elsewhere—from your brothers and from |
Tx:19.37 | brothers and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet peace | will gently cover them, extending past completely unhindered. The |
Tx:19.37 | bring them gently in [has already begun. This is the way in which He | will bring means and goal in line. The peace He laid deep within |
Tx:19.37 | means and goal in line. The peace He laid deep within both of you] | will quietly extend to every aspect of your lives, surrounding both |
Tx:19.37 | happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. And you | will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who |
Tx:19.38 | You | will not wait to give him this, for you will call to him and he will |
Tx:19.38 | You will not wait to give him this, for you | will call to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your call the |
Tx:19.38 | You will not wait to give him this, for you will call to him and he | will answer you, recognizing in your call the Call of God. And you |
Tx:19.38 | will answer you, recognizing in your call the Call of God. And you | will draw him in and give him rest, as it was given you. All this |
Tx:19.38 | will draw him in and give him rest, as it was given you. All this | will you do. Yet the peace which already lies deeply within must |
Tx:19.38 | expand and flow across the obstacles you placed before it. This | will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy Spirit remains |
Tx:19.38 | the Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place where you | will rest in Him. He answered you and entered your relationship. |
Tx:19.39 | Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in them | will show you all that you need to see. When the peace in you has |
Tx:19.39 | been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here | will be accomplished. What need is there for seeing then? When God |
Tx:19.39 | then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy Spirit | will gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have offered Him |
Tx:19.39 | before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father | will accept them in His Name. What need is there of seeing in the |
Tx:19.41 | its going forth. This little wall of hatred would still oppose the | Will of God and keep it limited. |
Tx:19.42 | are still unwilling to let it join you wholly. You still oppose the | Will of God, just by a little. And that little is a limit you would |
Tx:19.42 | And that little is a limit you would place upon the whole. God's | Will is One, not many. It has no opposition, for there is none beside |
Tx:19.43 | than from God. Fear not this little obstacle. It cannot contain the | Will of God. Peace will flow across it and join you without |
Tx:19.43 | cannot be withheld from you. It is your purpose. You cannot | will apart from this. You have no purpose apart from each other nor |
Tx:19.43 | the one you asked the Holy Spirit to share with you. The little wall | will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For peace will |
Tx:19.43 | wall will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For peace | will send its messengers from you to all the world. And barriers will |
Tx:19.43 | will send its messengers from you to all the world. And barriers | will fall away before their coming as easily as those which you would |
Tx:19.43 | before their coming as easily as those which you would interpose | will be surmounted. |
Tx:19.52 | into the world to feast upon it and to prey upon reality. For they | will bring you word of bones and skin and flesh. They have been |
Tx:19.53 | what they hold dear as are the others. If you send them forth, they | will see only the blameless and the beautiful, the gentle and the |
Tx:19.53 | only the blameless and the beautiful, the gentle and the kind. They | will be as careful to let no little act of charity, no tiny |
Tx:19.53 | forgiveness, no little breath of love escape their notice. And they | will return with all the happy things they found, to share them |
Tx:19.54 | the Holy Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you | will see fear no more. The world will be transformed before your |
Tx:19.54 | no messages but theirs, you will see fear no more. The world | will be transformed before your sight, cleansed of all guilt and |
Tx:19.55 | as they join in gentleness before the table of communion. And I | will join you there, as long ago I promised and promise still. For in |
Tx:19.57 | what you want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you | will also believe that it can bring you pain. |
Tx:19.63 | else. The second obstacle is no more solid than the first. For you | will neither to get rid of peace nor limit it. What are these |
Tx:19.63 | peace and its going forth but barriers you place between your | will and its accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of |
Tx:19.64 | our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there already. We | will surmount all obstacles together, for we stand within the gates |
Tx:19.65 | the Son of God committed. And in the light of your forgiveness, he | will remember who he is and forget what never was. I ask for your |
Tx:19.66 | the world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world | will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness |
Tx:19.67 | and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So | will you learn the freedom that I taught by teaching freedom to each |
Tx:19.67 | it is possible that our communion, where we are joined already, | will be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all |
Tx:19.67 | we are joined already, will be the focus of the new perception that | will bring light to all the world, contained in you. |
Tx:19.68 | so am I. And He Who is our home is homeless with us. Is this your | will? Would you forever be a wanderer in search of peace? Would you |
Tx:19.69 | is forever kind, infinite in its patience, and wholly loving. It | will accept you wholly and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with |
Tx:19.69 | has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The body | will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that you |
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 | from you in the belief that for your message of attack and guilt | will someone other than yourself suffer. And even if you suffer, yet |
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:19.79 | This is not arrogance. It is the | Will of God. What is impossible to you who chose His Will as yours? |
Tx:19.79 | It is the Will of God. What is impossible to you who chose His | Will as yours? What is death to you? Your dedication is not to |
Tx:19.80 | and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the | Will of God Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick |
Tx:19.80 | in the funeral procession march not in honor of their Creator, Whose | Will it is they live. They are not following it; they are opposing |
Tx:19.81 | are arrogant. But you who would release him are but honoring the | Will of his Creator. The arrogance of sin, the pride of guilt, the |
Tx:19.83 | first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so | will it seem to be. Death, were it true, would be the final and |
Tx:19.86 | The fear of death | will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The end |
Tx:19.87 | you. In its tiny hands, it holds in perfect safety every miracle you | will perform, held out to you. The miracle of life is ageless, born |
Tx:19.87 | a resting-place by your forgiveness of each other, and see in it the | Will of God. Here is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And everyone who |
Tx:19.87 | is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And everyone who gives him shelter | will follow him, not to the cross, but to the Resurrection and the |
Tx:19.91 | it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's Love, peace | will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and to join |
Tx:19.95 | that if you look on this and let the veil be lifted, they | will be gone forever. All of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and |
Tx:19.95 | forever. All of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and your “home” | will vanish. Nothing that you remember now will you remember. |
Tx:19.95 | and your “home” will vanish. Nothing that you remember now | will you remember. |
Tx:19.96 | It seems to you the world | will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that |
Tx:19.96 | will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that | will occur is you will leave the world forever. This is the |
Tx:19.96 | you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you | will leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your |
Tx:19.96 | will leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your | will. Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore believe that you |
Tx:19.96 | the reestablishment of your will. Look upon it open-eyed and you | will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things beyond |
Tx:19.96 | you cannot control, and thoughts that come to you against your | will. It is your will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial |
Tx:19.96 | and thoughts that come to you against your will. It is your | will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget |
Tx:19.96 | of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death can stand against your | will. For what attracts you from beyond the veil is also deep |
Tx:19.97 | you here remains with you, and when you raise your eyes, you | will be ready to look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift |
Tx:19.98 | brother in his heart. Stand you here a while and tremble not. You | will be ready. Let us join together in a holy instant, here in this |
Tx:19.98 | you. And let us join in faith that He Who brought us here together | will offer you the innocence you need and that you will accept it for |
Tx:19.98 | us here together will offer you the innocence you need and that you | will accept it for my love and His. |
Tx:19.101 | way to fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you | will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your |
Tx:19.101 | other, for you will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you | will raise your eyes in faith together or not at all. |
Tx:19.102 | your friend or enemy? Choose which he is, remembering that you | will receive of him according to your choice. He has in him the power |
Tx:19.103 | when only he can offer it to you? For his redemption, he | will give you yours as surely as God created every living thing and |
Tx:19.103 | as surely as God created every living thing and loves it. And he | will give it truly, for it will be both offered and received. |
Tx:19.103 | every living thing and loves it. And he will give it truly, for it | will be both offered and received. |
Tx:19.105 | the holy place of resurrection to which we come again; to which we | will return until redemption is accomplished and received. Think |
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:22.57 | let nothing interfere with those whose wills are His[. And they | will recognize their wills are His, because they serve His Will] |
Tx:22.58 | You | will see your value through each other's eyes, and each one is |
Tx:22.58 | other, to whom He offers them, and where and when is up to Him. He | will bestow them where they are received and welcomed. He will use |
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:22.58 | received and welcomed. He will use every one of them for peace. Nor | will one little smile or willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake |
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:22.60 | God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this remains, so | will it seem to be. |
Tx:22.62 | this oneness, you would know His power is yours. But you | will not remember this while you believe attack of any kind means |
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:23.8 | will it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness and | will seem to have replaced love there. This is the conflict's |
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:23.11 | forgotten in the body's life, and if you think you are a body, you | will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be |
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:23.50 | 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 | anything because He knows that everything that is belongs to Him and | will forever be as He created it. Nothing He loves but must be |
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:26.51 | all. God's Will is One. And any wish that seems to go against His | Will has no foundation in the truth. |
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:26.63 | 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 | 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:27.52 | 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 | 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:27.69 | the weather or the time of day. It loves him not but casts him as it | will in any role that satisfies its dream. So little is his worth |
Tx:27.72 | are here. Here is the cause of unreality. And it is here that it | will be undone. |
Tx:27.73 | the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever | will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son |
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:27.79 | world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never change nor | will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many forms and seems |
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:28.35 | and would enjoy the feast of plenty set before them there. And they | will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has asked to come to |
Tx:28.37 | of dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you | will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you become a |
Tx:28.40 | is by not supporting his illusions by your faith, for if you do, you | will have faith in yours. With faith in yours, he will not be |
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 | never be apart from Me.” His Son remembers not that he replied “I | will,” though in that promise he was born. Yet God reminds him of it |
Tx:28.59 | mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless before the | Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not |
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:28.65 | safe which rests upon a shadow? Would you build your home upon what | will collapse beneath a feather's weight? |
Tx:28.66 | have made instead has shaken the Foundation of his home. The winds | will blow upon it, and the rain will beat against it but with no |
Tx:28.66 | Foundation of his home. The winds will blow upon it, and the rain | will beat against it but with no effect. The world will wash away, |
Tx:28.66 | 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:28.66 | it but with no effect. The world will wash away, and yet this house | will stand forever, for its strength lies not within itself alone. It |
Tx:28.66 | a home of holiness a little while because it shares your Father's | Will with you. |
Tx:29.4 | to go your separate ways. Conditional upon the “right” to separate | will you agree to meet from time to time and keep apart in intervals |
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 | with Him. He has laid them at your feet and asks you now that you | will look on them and take them for your own. He needs your help in |
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:29.18 | itself. And it can fail to be what you demanded that it be. And you | will hate it for its littleness, unmindful that the failure does not |
Tx:29.20 | Thus he learns it must be his to give. Unless he gives, he | will not know he has, for giving is the proof of having. Only those |
Tx:29.22 | in the space of light where God abides within the darkness, you | will see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this light the |
Tx:29.22 | that it remain. The coming of the light means it is gone. In glory | will you see your brother then and understand what really fills the |
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 | must be one. What seems eternal all will have an end. The stars | will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All things that |
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:29.53 | are but substitutes for your reality. In some way, you believe they | will complete your little self [and let you walk in] safety in a |
Tx:29.55 | Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no form in which he ever | will be real. |
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:29.59 | a means for getting more. And it is this that is against God's | Will. |
Tx:29.60 | as of Himself. No idol can establish you as more than God. But you | will never be content with being less. |
Tx:29.62 | judgment. So must he judge not, and he will waken. For the dream | will seem to last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he who |
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:30.4 | Today I | will make no decision by myself. |
Tx:30.5 | not to be the judge of what to do. But it must also mean you | will not judge the situations where you will be called upon to make |
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:30.54 | far beyond deception. You need not concern yourself with how this | will be done, for this you cannot understand. But you will |
Tx:30.55 | to look upon the unreal as reality. You are but asked to let your | will be done and seek no longer for the things you do not want. And |
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:30.69 | a purpose, they were free to learn their will is one. And thus the | Will of God must reach to their awareness. Nor can they forget for |
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 |
Tx:31.70 | world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you | will not interpret what you see without the Aid that God has given |
Tx:31.71 | jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you think, for you | will love this concept of yourself because it was not made for you |
Tx:31.77 | and forgot, and those you knew a long while since, and those you | will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet born. For God has |
Tx:31.79 | concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you wish to be. It | will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it |
Tx:31.79 | fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you | will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has |
Tx:31.88 | strength instead of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They | will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the power of the |
Tx:31.88 | will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the power of the | Will of God. And what they will is only what He wills. |
Tx:31.88 | they are joined in all the power of the Will of God. And what they | will is only what He wills. |
Tx:31.92 | yourself defenseless and in hell. Yield not to this, and you | will see all pain in every form wherever it occurs but disappear as |
Tx:31.92 | that every choice you make establishes your own identity as you | will see it and believe it is. |
Tx:31.93 | bring a vision of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you | will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw before. Yet this a |
Tx:31.93 | is which you must share with everyone you see, for otherwise you | will behold it not. To give this gift is how to make it yours. And |
Tx:31.94 | where God's gift can once again be recognized as ours! And thus | will all the vestiges of hell, the secret “sins,” and hidden hates be |
Tx:31.94 | I cannot call in vain, and in His certainty I rest content. For you | will hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is everyone |
Tx:31.94 | and in His certainty I rest content. For you will hear, and you | will choose again. And in this choice is everyone made free. |
Tx:31.95 | are Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as sure that they | will come to me as You are sure of what they are and will forever be. |
Tx:31.95 | sure that they will come to me as You are sure of what they are and | will forever be. They will accept the gift I offer them because You |
Tx:31.95 | to me as You are sure of what they are and will forever be. They | will accept the gift I offer them because You gave it me on their |
Tx:31.95 | You gave it me on their behalf. And as I would but do Your holy | Will, so will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's |
Tx:31.95 | gave it me on their behalf. And as I would but do Your holy Will, so | will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will |
Tx:31.95 | so will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song | will echo through the world with every choice they make. For we are |

W1:I.1 | to make these exercises meaningful. Yet it is the exercises which | will make the goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish |
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 |
W1:4.3 | This is a major exercise and | will be repeated from time to time in somewhat different form. The |
W1:4.5 | these exercises more than three or four times during the day. We | will return to them later. |
W1:5.1 | anger, hatred, jealousy, or any number of forms, all of which | will be perceived as different. This is not true. However, until you |
W1:5.9 | and let the others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I | will regard them all as the same. |
W1:6.7 | and let the others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I | will regard them all as the same. |
W1:7.9 | experiences? How else would you know whether or not this kind of cup | will break if you drop it? What do you know about this cup except |
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 |
W1:9.2 | step will clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding | will finally come to lighten every corner of the mind which has been |
W1:10.1 | are not your real thoughts. We have made this distinction before and | will again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When you do, you |
W1:10.1 | again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When you do, you | will have no doubt that what you once believed were your thoughts did |
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 |
W1:12.8 | The truth upsets you now, but when your words have been erased, you | will see His. That is the ultimate purpose of these exercises. |
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. |
W1:14.2 | with today's idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it | will be because you really understand what they are for. |
W1:14.3 | can be quite difficult and even quite painful. Some of them | will lead you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You |
W1:14.3 | quite painful. Some of them will lead you directly into fear. You | will not be left there. You will go far beyond it. Our direction is |
W1:14.3 | will lead you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You | will go far beyond it. Our direction is toward perfect safety and |
W1:15.2 | idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing | will not have much meaning for you. You will begin to understand it |
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 |
W1:15.2 | is the beginning of real vision. You can be certain that real vision | will come quickly when this has occurred. |
W1:15.3 | of them. They are signs that you are opening your eyes at last. They | will not persist, because they merely symbolize true perception, and |
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 |
W1:15.7 | try to make the selection as random as possible. Less than a minute | will do for the practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy. Do not |
W1:16.2 | or it multiplies illusions. You can indeed multiply nothing, but you | will not extend it by doing so. |
W1:16.3 | you recognize them all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We | will practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it. |
W1:16.4 | the search. This is quite difficult until you get used to it. You | will find that it is still hard for you not to make artificial |
W1:16.9 | you find them relatively effortless. If strain is experienced, three | will be enough. The length of the exercise period should also be |
W1:18.1 | It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which | will be given increasing stress later. |
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 | or event which upsets you. You can see them differently, and you | will. What you desire, you will see. Such is the real law of cause |
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. |
W1:53.6 | 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 |
W1:54.4 | the real thoughts in them. And the world my real thoughts show me | will dawn on their sight as well as mine. |
W1:54.6 | loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my | will and the Will of God are one. |
W1:54.6 | look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the | Will of God are one. |
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 | love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my | will united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and |
W1:56.5 | undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united with the | Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever. |
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 |
W1:57.5 | to obey. I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I | will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share |

W1:59.5 | Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it | will show me. |
W1:60.2 | see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I | will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on |
W1:60.2 | my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on earth. It | will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach |
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 like |
W1:60.4 | to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It | will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and |
W1:60.4 | like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see | will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my |
W1:60.4 | Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I | will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to |
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 | to recognize. We will ask what it is and wait for the answer. We | will be told. Then we will ask for the solution to it. And we will be |
W1:79.7 | ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we | will ask for the solution to it. And we will be told. |
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 | If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You | will be heard and you will be answered. |
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 |
W1:125.9 | hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father's | Will, at one with It, with no illusions interposed between the wholly |
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. |
W1:164.2 | distinct—an ancient call to which He gives an ancient answer. You | will recognize them both. For they are but your answer to your |
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 |
W1:164.5 | will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now | will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its transformation |
W1:164.7 | We | will not judge today. We will receive but what is given us from |
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 |
W1:165.4 | Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind | will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. |
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 |
W1:165.7 | of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds according to His | Will. |
W1:166.1 | back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet unless your | will is one with His, His gifts are not received. But what would make |
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 |
W1:167.5 | born, so will they then give birth. And where they come from, there | will they return. |
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 |
W1:168.7 | grace is given me. I claim it now. Father, I come to You. And You | will come to me who asks. I am the Son You love. |
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:R5.7 | ending. Every step we take brings us a little nearer. This review | will shorten time immeasurably if we keep in mind that This remains |
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:R5.10 | time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it | will be at last, when time is done. |
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:I2.3 | no more than this is needed. It will be enough to guarantee the rest | will come. |
W1:181.2 | to what you see. Change but this focus, and what you behold | will change accordingly. Your vision now will shift to give support |
W1:181.2 | focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now | will shift to give support to the intent which has replaced the one |
W1:181.2 | their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you | will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies |
W1:181.4 | and restricting thought that, even if you should succeed, you | will inevitably lose your way again. How could this matter? For the |
W1:181.5 | by a little 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 |
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 |
W1:181.8 | And we | will also use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We |
W1:181.8 | seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon sin | will bring and, uncorrected, will remain. |
W1:181.8 | from the misery the focus upon sin will bring and, uncorrected, | will remain. |
W1:181.9 | look upon is really there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we | will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we want |
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. |
W1:182.2 | play to occupy their time and keep their sadness from them. Others | will deny that they are sad and do not recognize their tears at all. |
W1:182.2 | they are sad and do not recognize their tears at all. Still others | will maintain that what we speak of is illusion, not to be considered |
W1:182.4 | He is alien here. This Childhood is eternal, with an innocence that | will endure forever. Where this Child shall go is holy ground. It is |
W1:182.5 | holy air that fills His Father's house. You are His home as well. He | will return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself within the |
W1:182.6 | Yet does He know that in you still abides His sure protection. You | will fail Him not. He will go home, and you along with Him. |
W1:182.6 | in you still abides His sure protection. You will fail Him not. He | will go home, and you along with Him. |
W1:182.7 | outcast in a world of alien thoughts. His patience has no limits. He | will wait until you hear His gentle Voice within you, calling you to |
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 |
W1:182.8 | to you that you will not resist Him longer. In that instant, He | will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in perfect |
W1:182.8 | Him longer. In that instant, He will take you to His home, and you | will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond |
W1:182.9 | them. He asks but they protect Him, for His home is far away, and He | will not return to it alone. |
W1:183.4 | thing before God's Name. Repeat His Name and see how easily you | will forget the names of all the gods you value. They have lost the |
W1:183.8 | Thus do we give an invitation which can never be refused. And God | will come and answer it Himself. Think not He hears the little |
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 |
W1:184.2 | you are established as a unity which functions with an independent | will. |
W1:184.3 | was given them as well. For what is named is given meaning and | will then be seen as meaningful, a cause of true effects with |
W1:184.9 | for anything at all, and in your practicing, it is this thought that | will release you from them. They become but means by which you can |
W1:185.2 | and it is given him. For that is all he wants, and that is all he | will receive. Many have said these words. But few indeed have meant |
W1:185.3 | Two minds with one intent become so strong that what they | will becomes the Will of God. For minds can only join in truth. In |
W1:185.3 | with one intent become so strong that what they will becomes the | Will of God. For minds can only join in truth. In dreams no two can |
W1:185.5 | And he has learned their only difference is one of form, for one | will bring the same despair and misery as do the rest. |
W1:185.6 | if he asks without sincerity, there is no form in which the lesson | will meet with acceptance and be truly learned. |
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 |
W1:185.9 | peace come just as certainly and to remain with you forever. It | will not be gone with every twist and turning of the road to reappear |
W1:185.11 | he deceive himself no longer by denying to himself what is God's | Will. Who can remain unsatisfied who asks for what he has already? |
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 |
W1:185.13 | will with Him, and He with you. And you will also know you share one | will with all your brothers, whose intent is yours. |
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 |
W1:186.2 | establish it. It is not our idea. The means are given us by which it | will be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to |
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 | world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains, another who | will give as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will |
W1:187.5 | who will give as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each | will have the thought in form most helpful to him. What he seems to |
W1:187.5 | most helpful to him. What he seems to lose is always something he | will value less than what will surely be returned to him. |
W1:187.5 | he seems to lose is always something he will value less than what | will surely be returned to him. |
W1:187.8 | that error has arisen and correction must be made. Your blessing | will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. |
W1:187.9 | the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you | will look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will |
W1:187.9 | you will look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you | will behold will take away all thought of form and leave instead the |
W1:187.9 | look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold | will take away all thought of form and leave instead the perfect gift |
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 |
W1:190.6 | It has no effects at all. It merely represents your thoughts. And it | will change entirely as you elect to change your mind and choose the |
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 |
W1:196.3 | not an ego. For the ways in which the ego would distort the truth | will not deceive you longer. You will not believe you are a body to |
W1:196.3 | the ego would distort the truth will not deceive you longer. You | will not believe you are a body to be crucified. And you will see |
W1:196.3 | longer. You will not believe you are a body to be crucified. And you | will see within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking past |
W1:196.6 | of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is true. And he | will not perceive its foolishness nor even see that it is there so |
W1:196.7 | it at all, its form must first be changed at least as much as | will permit fear of retaliation to abate and the responsibility |
W1:196.8 | Our next steps | will be easy if you take this one today. From there we go ahead quite |
W1:196.12 | but you your mind can try to crucify. Yet your redemption, too, | will come from you. |

W1:197.6 | Withdraw the gifts you give, and you | will think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But learn to |
W1:197.6 | little while before He snatches them away again in death. For death | will have no meaning for you then. |
W1:197.7 | God, and He gives thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives | will Christ yet come, for everyone must live and breathe in Him. His |
W1:197.7 | and breathe in Him. His Being in His Father is secure because Their | will is one. Their gratitude to all They have created has no end, for |
W1:198.1 | Then does illusion cease to have effects, and all it seemed to have | will be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you |
W1:198.6 | His words | will work. His words will save. His words contain all hope, all |
W1:198.6 | His words will work. His words | will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that |
W1:198.6 | have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the words in which all | will merge as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the Word |
W1:198.6 | the words in which all will merge as one at last. And as this one | will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its place, for it |
W1:198.6 | as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the Word of God | will come to take its place, for it will be remembered then and loved. |
W1:198.6 | will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its place, for it | will be remembered then and loved. |
W1:198.7 | Son and to his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you | will look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you will |
W1:198.7 | you will look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you | will perceive a miracle instead. |
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 |
W1:199.8 | with you in it; the world is blessed along with you; God's Son | will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy |
W1:200.1 | Seek you no further. You | will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and |
W1:200.5 | mind about the purpose of the world if you would find escape. You | will be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed and |
W1:200.7 | He has one Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to God's | Will and to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to |
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 |
W1:200.9 | byways. God alone is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He | will not desert His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his |
W1:200.9 | nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the Son | will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world |
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:R6.6 | We | will attempt to get beyond all words and special forms of practicing |
W1:R6.10 | you thought. Beyond such special applications of each day's idea, we | will add but few formal expressions for specific thoughts to aid your |
W1:R6.11 | teach you what to do and say and think each time you turn to Him. He | will not fail to be available to you each time you call to Him to |
W1:202.1 | [182] I | will be still a moment and go home. Why would I choose to stay an |
W1:208.1 | [188] The peace of God is shining in me now. I | will be still and let the earth be still along with me. And in that |
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 |
W1:210.1 | not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His | Will. His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I |
W1:210.1 | of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will. His | Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I choose |
W1:212.1 | God has given me can offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this | will I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still |
W1:216.1 | I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation | will be given me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God |
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.2 | We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor | will we forget our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when |
W2:I.3 | We | will continue with a central thought for all the days to come. And we |
W2:I.3 | continue with a central thought for all the days to come. And we | will use that thought to introduce our times of rest and calm our |
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.3 | promised. We have called on Him, and He has promised that His Son | will not remain unanswered when he calls His Name. |
W2:I.4 | earned Him the invitation that He seeks to make us happy? We | will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will |

W2:I.4 | We will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him | will now be spent. We say the words of invitation that His Voice |
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 | not know the way, but You did not forget us. And we know that You | will not forget us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept |
W2:I.7 | us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your | will to keep. We will with You in asking this. The Father and the |
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.7 | last few steps to You and rest in confidence upon Your Love, Which | will not fail the Son who calls to You. |
W2:I.9 | across the wide horizons of our minds. A moment more, and it | will rise again. A moment more, and we who are God's Sons are safely |
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:WICR.2 | share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever one | will still be one when time is over and will not be changed |
W2:WICR.2 | has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over and | will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it |
W2:WICR.3 | the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His | Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the |
W2:WICR.3 | is forever guaranteed inviolate, forever held within His holy | will beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection, and |
W2:WICR.4 | our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's | Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but |
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 |
W2:329.2 | We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because His | Will is shared by all of us. Through it we recognize that we are one. |
W2:330.1 | restored to Spirit and extends its freedom and its joy, as is the | Will of God united with its own. The Self which God created cannot |

W2:WIE.1 | to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the will that sees the | Will of God as enemy and takes a form in which It is denied. The ego |
W2:WIE.2 | victor over God Himself, and in its terrible autonomy, it “sees” the | Will of God has been destroyed. It dreams of punishment and trembles |
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 | cruelty. How could I think that Love has left Itself? There is no | will except the will of Love. Fear is a dream and has no will that |
W2:331.1 | could I think that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the | will of Love. Fear is a dream and has no will that can conflict with |
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 | bring him peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your | Will for me, for thus will I behold my sinlessness. |
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. |
W2:338.1 | love. He crucified himself. Yet God has planned that His beloved Son | will be redeemed. |
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 |
W2:338.2 | is sure, my Father—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I | will have thoughts that will frighten me until I learn that You have |
W2:338.2 | only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I will have thoughts that | will frighten me until I learn that You have given me the only |
W2:338.2 | given me the only Thought which leads me to salvation. Mine alone | will fail and lead me nowhere. But the Thought You gave me promises |
W2:339.1 | can think that joy is painful, threatening, and dangerous. Everyone | will receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed about |
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 | Father, I thank You for today and for the freedom I am certain it | will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. |
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 |
W2:340.1 | for today Your Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he | will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ's vision through |
W2:340.2 | today. Our Father has redeemed His Son this day! Not one of us but | will be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the |
W2:340.2 | His Son this day! Not one of us but will be saved today. Not one who | will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, |
W2:340.2 | be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father | will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love. |
W2:WIM.4 | to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith | will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really |
W2:WIM.4 | to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle | will justify your faith in it and show it rested on a world more real |
W2:344.1 | I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or | will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? |
W2:344.1 | a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive | will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my |
W2:345.2 | The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It | will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received. |
W2:345.2 | miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for we | will offer what we have received. |
W2:346.1 | of all things. And so begins the day I share with You as I | will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek |
W2:346.1 | has stepped aside today. I do not seek the things of time, and so I | will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of |
W2:346.2 | And when the evening comes today, we | will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today |
W2:346.2 | comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we | will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all things except |
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 |
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 sick. But You have |
W2:347.1 | would hide from my awareness. Let Him judge today. I do not know my | will, but He is sure it is Your own. And He will speak for me, and |
W2:347.1 | today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your own. And He | will speak for me, and call Your miracle to come to me. |
W2:348.2 | that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be our | will, as well as His. |
W2:349.1 | obey the law of love and give what I would find and make my own. It | will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give. |
W2:350.1 | result. Therefore, my Father, I would turn to You. Only Your memory | will set me free. And only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your |
W2:350.2 | And as we gather miracles from Him, we | will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His Son will be |
W2:350.2 | Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His Son | will be restored to us in the Reality of Love. |
W2:WAI.3 | do not seek a function that is past the gates of Heaven. Knowledge | will return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with |
W2:WAI.5 | And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he | will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God. |
W2:352.1 | alone and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment | will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in |
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 | vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer and | will gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of |
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.1 | doubts. His certainty is yours. You need but ask it of Him, and it | will be given you. |
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.4 | daily to you of your Father and your brother and your Self. He | will continue; now you walk with Him as certain as is He of where you |
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:1.2 | teachers to speak for it and redeem the world. Many hear it, but few | will answer. But it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in |
M:1.2 | it, but few will answer. But it is all a matter of time. Everyone | will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It |
M:1.4 | hope. There was never a question of outcome, for what can change the | Will of God? But time, with its illusions of change and death, wears |
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 | has let itself be healed will no longer acknowledge them. There | will be those who seem to be “sicker” than others, and the body's |
M:8.6 | be those who seem to be “sicker” than others, and the body's eyes | will report their changed appearances as before. But the mind will |
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:12.5 | body another purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God's Voice | will tell him when he has fulfilled his role, just as It tells him |
M:13.1 | world. Like all things in the world, its meaning is temporary and | will ultimately fade into the nothingness from which it came when |
M:13.6 | would sacrifice the truth, they stay in hell. And if they stay, you | will remain with them. |
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:14.1 | of forgiveness, complete, excluding no one, limitless in gentleness, | will cover it, hiding all evil, concealing all sin, and ending guilt |
M:14.2 | 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:14.5 | The world | will end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come, |

M:15.1 | Who could flee forever from the truth? But the Final Judgment | will not come until it is no longer associated with fear. One day |
M:15.1 | come until it is no longer associated with fear. One day each one | will welcome it, and on that very day it will be given him. He will |

M:15.4 | of your judgments on its gifts, that you would rather have? You | will be judged, and judged in fairness and in honesty. There is no |
M:15.4 | that. His promises have guaranteed that His judgment, and His alone, | will be accepted in the end. It is your function to make that end be |
M:16.1 | Seeing this and understanding it is true, he rests content. He | will be told all that his role should be, this day and every day. And |
M:16.1 | be, this day and every day. And those who share that role with him | will find him, so they can learn the lessons for the day together. |

M:16.5 | sure that you do not forget a brief period—not more than a moment | will do—in which you close your eyes and think of God. |

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 | and circumstance he calls for it. There are times his certainty | will waver, and the instant this occurs he will return to earlier |
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:23.1 | be received directly. Even the most advanced of God's teachers | will give way to temptation in this world. Would it be fair if their |
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: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:26.4 | Nor will its coming be long delayed. All the help you can accept | will be provided, and not one need you have will not be met. Let us |

M:28.5 | and we accept His holiness as ours, as it is. As God created us, so | will we be forever and forever, and we wish for nothing but His Will |

C:I.8 | This Course | will seem remedial to some, easy to some, complex to some. The mind |

C:P.20 | a bridge I would build a bridge, and this is likely true. Yet you | will not become the bridge. You refuse to recognize that the Christ |
C:P.26 | of God in terms of the family of man, in terms, in short, that you | will recognize. In the family of man, there are many families but it |
C:P.28 | another part of you that knows this is not true. Think back, and you | will remember that, from the earliest of ages you have known that |
C:P.28 | pain, and horror does so from a place that does not accept and | will never accept that these things are what are meant for you or for |
C:P.28 | this world with you. And yet your history, in which you so believe, | will tell you that the world has always been thus and that there is |
C:P.36 | this world at last for your true home. But it is not your body that | will pass through heaven's gates, nor your body's eyes that will view |

C:P.41 | but until your body's eyes can behold the proof, this is what it | will remain. This is the insanity of the nightmare you choose not to |

C:1.10 | as your own teacher. Accept me as your teacher and accept that I | will teach you the truth. Find no shame in this. You cannot learn |
C:1.10 | You have tried in countless ways and can try still again. But you | will not succeed. Not because you are not smart enough. Not because |
C:1.10 | not succeed. Not because you are not smart enough. Not because you | will not try hard enough. But because it is impossible. It is |
C:1.13 | with what you are and with what you can do on your own, only then | will your autonomy and your learning be complete, for this is all |
C:1.13 | is for you to stand on your own, complete within yourself. This goal | will never be reached, and only when you give up trying to reach it |
C:1.14 | a loss through failure to engage. Although you are well aware you | will not win the game you play here, you see the effort to do so, no |
C:2.2 | While you look for a God with a physical form you | will not recognize God. Everything real is of God. Nothing unreal |
C:2.8 | is the most you have any hope of doing, and few of you believe you | will succeed. Others refuse to think of life in terms of purpose and |
C:2.8 | one option to the next, giving up on one and hoping that the other | will bring them some peace. To think that these are the only options |

C:3.5 | your eyes on all that you have become accustomed to seeing. And you | will see the light. |
C:3.6 | In the light that comes only to eyes that no longer see, you | will find the Christ who abides in you. In Jesus Christ, the Son of |
C:3.7 | and so you do not even see the form as it is but only as what it | will do for you. You imprison form within your meaning, and still |
C:3.9 | An idea of love is planted now, in a garden rich with what | will make it grow. |
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 | of it in the same way. You seek to gather it together so that it | will provide an improvement to what has been before. You look for |
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:3.11 | a child learning not to touch a stove because it is hot and a burn | will result, or learning that a warm blanket is comforting, you |
C:3.11 | on your senses and your judgment. While you believe you know what | will hurt you and what you will find comforting, you subject what |
C:3.11 | judgment. While you believe you know what will hurt you and what you | will find comforting, you subject what cannot be compared to the |
C:3.14 | be aware your heart, for this is where this learning enters and | will stay. Your heart is now your eyes and ears. Your mind can remain |
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:3.18 | remembered. Your heart that leads the way that, should you follow, | will set you certainly on the path 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:4.24 | to love. But love can allow a new world to be seen, a world that | will allow you to abide within love's presence. |
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:6.1 | hard they try. Forgive them. Forgive yourself. Forgive God. Then you | will be ready to begin learning just how different it really is to |
C:6.2 | is here for. And when you have learned what it would teach you, you | will have need of it no more, and you will gently let it go and find |
C:6.2 | what it would teach you, you will have need of it no more, and you | will gently let it go and find heaven in its place. |
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:6.12 | old with hope that this one will be the one—and equal hope that it | will not. |
C:6.20 | mind, between who they were and who they are after death? In honesty | will you admit an envy, an awareness that they still exist, but |
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:6.21 | you to a life of such unhappiness. Thoughts of terror and of sin you | will embrace, but thoughts of resurrection and new life you still |

C:7.2 | As the awareness of your withholding dawns upon your heart, you | will begin to realize what you do not give, and with that |

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 | 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 | 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:9.39 | 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:9.48 | vast wanderings will be seen for what they are. All that you desired | will be revealed as only two desires, the desire to love and the |
C:10.1 | long as you attribute the body with bringing you pleasure, the body | will bring you pain as well. You cannot choose one without the other, |
C:10.2 | save you countless years of seeking where the truth is not, if you | will but seek where I bid you find. |

C:10.9 | a stage you will pass through, though some may linger long here. You | will stay until you realize that all are good and that you cannot |
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:29.2 | with subjugation, particularly the idea of service to a higher | Will or higher Cause. Some of you associate it with a lack of free |
C:29.2 | Will or higher Cause. Some of you associate it with a lack of free | will, a lack of choice, a course that will lead you to a subservient |
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:29.6 | Him, He would but tell you this: My child, return to me. God has no | Will apart from yours. Your return to unity is all God seeks for you, |
C:29.9 | colors of life. Life, not death, assures your approach. God Himself | will guide your entry. |
C:29.10 | falsely that which you would imitate from creation. In work too you | will find an example of this. For you all know that work and service |
C:29.14 | No wholeness | will be possible for you while you look at life in terms of |
C:29.14 | schedules, plans, time-tables, or things to get done. No wholeness | will be possible for you while you compartmentalize your life into |
C:29.17 | is joy. Once you have given up your belief in separation this | will be known to you. |
C:30.3 | learning in order to find out who you are or what your contribution | will eventually be. |
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:31.11 | the ego. Without dislodging your belief in your ego as yourself you | will never realize your true identity. |
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 |
C:32.5 | your thoughts or believe in loss of anything of any kind. Thus | will all you have already received be remembered in this time of the |
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:9.14 | to see, on a small scale, the action that, on a large scale, | will become the new way. |
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:17.26 | We | will spend forty days and forty nights here together, at the top of |
D:Day1.1 | is nothing new to those of you of the Christian faith. To others it | will seem an acceptance beyond your ability, an acceptance that there |
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 | of succession presented here. You can read of it still, but it | will not convey to you what it will convey to those who have accepted |
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:Day3.9 | spiritual context for your life will assist you in living abundantly | will cause you to think, “I doubt it.” Or, “I'll believe it when I |
D:Day3.12 | bartering, which we have spoken of before, or bargaining, which we | will speak more of here. It is the base idea that is behind all ideas |
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:Day3.21 | even from a bank, is seen as a dire situation indeed. This asking | will likely be an ordeal of some consequence. Even those who are seen |
D:Day3.22 | upon this aspect of “reality.” The better life you might attain | will be a by-product rather than the effect of Cause. |
D:Day3.23 | as theirs. That while you admit you have “enough,” you are sure it | will not be enough for what the future holds. And if you ever need |
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:Day3.25 | that only through effort will you gain, and that with your gain | will come another's loss. In other words, here is where you must |
D:Day3.31 | How can you have any peace when you live like this? What succor | will your inheritance provide if thoughts like these accompany your |
D:Day3.34 | that there is a secret you know not. There is, and it is a secret I | will try to share with you here, if you can let your disbelief and |
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:Day3.34 | but I will try to address you in an in-between tone, one that | will not cause you to feel spoken down to or incite your hostility. |
D:Day3.34 | cause you to feel spoken down to or incite your hostility. One that | will not only be truthful, but as practical as you need it to be. |
D:Day3.35 | God. It is only in knowing God that the relationship of abundance | will be made clear to you and break forever the chains of want. |
D:Day3.36 | It is only in relationship with the God within that the way | will become clear. |
D:Day3.40 | you once sought through learning, or through the mind, other means | will open to you. You may see, audibly hear, and interact with what |
D:Day3.45 | side and determined to be the one who is right, the one whose side | will win. What you hope to win, in this insane argument about |
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 | with the realization 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 |
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:Day4.2 | another way of saying all that you have learned; on the other side | will be the truth, the new temptations that will incite you to leave |
D:Day4.2 | on the other side will be the truth, the new temptations that | will incite you to leave behind the temptations of the human |
D:Day4.16 | If you | will contemplate for a moment what you know about the example left by |
D:Day4.16 | for a moment what you know about the example left by my life, you | will almost surely realize fairly quickly that my life challenged the |
D:Day4.31 | I am imparting to you the key to abundance and all the treasure that | will come with the end of the time of learning. You, on the other |
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:Day4.39 | are, then our purpose of being together here on this mountain top | will go unfulfilled. |
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:Day4.47 | 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 way that it can come |
D:Day4.48 | wholeheartedly, if you make this choice with wholehearted desire, it | will be done, and we will continue our dialogue so that you know more |
D:Day4.48 | make this choice with wholehearted desire, it will be done, and we | will continue our dialogue so that you know more of the difference |
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:Day4.48 | you, we will begin true discussion of creation of the new, for you | will be done with becoming. |
D:Day4.49 | your choice and have full realization of your access to unity. You | will be able, of course, to continue on without making this |
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 | wholehearted choice, but you will read only to learn and learning | will not transform you. If you do not truly and wholeheartedly desire |
D:Day4.49 | truly and wholeheartedly meet the condition of being fearless, you | will know this, and you will pass through the time of coming to |
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 | depression, or nostalgia for the way things were. These things | will not leave you before you leave them. But you will leave them. |
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:Day4.60 | this will occur with no fanfare and no “one” to follow. The first | will create a series. Thus will the secret of succession be returned |
D:Day4.60 | fanfare and no “one” to follow. The first will create a series. Thus | will the secret of succession be returned to you and put behind us |
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:Day15.1 | When you fully realize that sharing is necessary you | will have entered the dialogue. When you have fully surrendered to |
D:Day15.1 | surrendered to the fact that you can't come to know on your own you | will have entered the dialogue. When you fully accept that the voice |
D:Day15.1 | that the voice of the one can be heard in the voice of the many you | will have entered the dialogue. When you fully realize that you are |
D:Day15.1 | that you are in-formed by everything and everyone in creation, you | will have entered the dialogue. |
D:Day15.9 | having your judgment alter natural cause and effect. This practice | will continue to serve you and will not be replaced, but supplemented |
D:Day15.9 | cause and effect. This practice will continue to serve you and | will not be replaced, but supplemented by the new practice of |
D:Day15.11 | reached by a much greater number. This greater level of neutrality | will not be reached until those who are the forerunners have |
D:Day15.11 | another as you move in and out of the state of Christ-consciousness | will not serve the purpose of creation. |
D:Day15.13 | or is it the challenge of moving with the current that you know | will be generated by the joining of spacious Selves? Do you fear your |
D:Day15.14 | here for. There is no time to waste and no protracted length of time | will be required if your willingness is true. |
D:Day15.15 | here to make one another known and in so doing to know oneness. It | will be less difficult to know this voice as the voice of oneness |
D:Day15.16 | them that Christ-consciousness is a form of “group think.” Never | will you feel more like an individual than when you are made known |
D:Day15.20 | initial, or practice stage of movement, it is obvious that movement | will always be needed for the clear pool to not become a stagnant |
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:Day15.24 | ability to carry an undivided but spacious consciousness with you | will be paramount and will have many practical as well as spiritual |
D:Day15.24 | undivided but spacious consciousness with you will be paramount and | will have many practical as well as spiritual applications. |
D:Day15.26 | dialogue as the spacious Self and are made known, your purpose here | will become more clear. Thus your ability to embrace all while |
D:Day15.26 | to embrace all while focusing on your own purpose in being here, | will begin a new process of individuation. The distinctness of your |
D:Day15.26 | a new process of individuation. The distinctness of your own path | will be made visible and you will see that it may be quite different |
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:Day15.27 | of walking alone approaching, or a time of gathering with many. You | will realize that you have felt cocooned by the time on the mountain |
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:Day16.11 | time you predetermine, in advance of knowing, what something is or | will be. You predetermine, or decide, for instance, that a physical |
D:Day16.11 | for the better. Only when you accept that no feelings are bad | will you allow yourself to come to know what they truly are. |
D:Day16.13 | All that you predetermine you have come to know | will be cause only for suffering, arrogance, and righteousness if you |
D:Day16.16 | and the spacious Self embraces them with love, the spacious Self | will be whole, for it will embrace everything—as love, which is |
D:Day16.16 | embraces them with love, the spacious Self will be whole, for it | will embrace everything—as love, which is everything—embraces it. |
D:Day17.10 | know—which is Christ-consciousness—through individual choice or | will. |
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:Day22.3 | from among everything, is allowed reception and expression. Some | will find many avenues of channeling available to them, both through |
D:Day22.6 | you put it into words, make it into images, tell it in a story? You | will feel as if you will burst if you cannot share the union that you |
D:Day22.6 | make it into images, tell it in a story? You will feel as if you | will burst if you cannot share the union that you touch when you |
D:Day22.10 | be made known through reception and expression. Call it what you | will for what you call it matters not. Throw out all the words that |
D:Day23.3 | task before us is to come to understanding of the means by which you | will carry what you have been given down from the mountain and onto |
D:Day23.5 | to the forces that move inside of you is surrendering to your own | will. It requires full acknowledgment that you hold within yourself a |
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 | yourself a will to know and to make known. This will is divine | will, your will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive within you. All |
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 | carry your potential to the place of its birth through an activated | will, a will that is also carried within you. This merging of will |
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 |

A.34 | While they are looking for it to show up in an old way they | will miss the new ways that are being revealed to them. Remind them |
A.38 | “Listen and you | will hear.” But to what are you listening? Entering the dialogue is |

A.43 | What now | will be your relationship to this work that has returned you to Who |
A.43 | and a direct sharing of it with others. For many more of you it | will not. |
A.44 | For each, being Who You Are | will be an expression of unity and oneness that only you are able to |

Tx:7.100 | willingness to see it, but its truth has nothing to do with your | willingness at all. Truth is God's Will. Share His Will, and you |
Tx:8.78 | ego's skill in building up false cases. Nor can anyone doubt your | willingness to listen until you will not to tolerate anything |
Tx:8.78 | aside, it will be gone. The Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as your | willingness to listen. It cannot be louder without violating your |
Tx:8.117 | possible not to know you have. The recognition of having is the | willingness for giving, and only by this willingness can you |
Tx:8.117 | of having is the willingness for giving, and only by this | willingness can you recognize what you have. What you give is |
Tx:9.15 | Miracles are merely the sign of your | willingness to follow the Holy Spirit's plan of salvation in |
Tx:9.53 | The ego depends solely on your | willingness to tolerate it. If you are willing to look upon your |
Tx:9.82 | eternal and will be unmade for you the instant you signify your | willingness to accept only the eternal. If God has but one Son, |
Tx:9.86 | is always there to be accepted, but its acceptance depends on your | willingness to have it. To know reality must involve the |
Tx:9.86 | on your willingness to have it. To know reality must involve the | willingness to judge unreality for what it is. This is the right |
Tx:10.11 | He has given you. Your ability to accept Him depends on your | willingness to give as He gives. Your fatherhood and your Father |
Tx:10.17 | healed by it? But be sure to count yourself among them, for in your | willingness to join them is your healing accomplished. Every |
Tx:10.19 | Healing is a sign that he wants to make whole. And this | willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, |
Tx:10.19 | far beyond the healing you would undertake, for beside your small | willingness to make whole, He will lay His own complete will and |
Tx:10.21 | recognize the little spark and are willing to let it grow. Your | willingness need not be perfect, because His is. If you will merely |
Tx:10.45 | dependence on God, Whose function He shares with you. By His | Willingness to share it, He became as dependent on you as you are on |
Tx:10.70 | real world can actually be perceived. All that is necessary is a | willingness to perceive nothing else. For if you perceive both good |
Tx:10.76 | Perceptions are learned, and you are not without a Teacher. Yet your | willingness to learn of Him depends on your willingness to question |
Tx:10.76 | a Teacher. Yet your willingness to learn of Him depends on your | willingness to question everything you have learned of yourself, |
Tx:11.3 | anger to a plea for help? No response can be appropriate except the | willingness to give it to him, for this and only this is what he is |
Tx:11.23 | not of God is gone. Yet you must reveal it to yourself in perfect | willingness, for otherwise His knowledge remains useless to you. |
Tx:12.56 | truth in them. The attraction of light must draw you willingly, and | willingness is signified by giving. Those who accept love of you |
Tx:12.62 | give this world away in glad exchange for what you did not make is | willingness to learn the one you made is false. |
Tx:14.7 | purity. Your only calling here is to devote yourself with active | willingness to the denial of guilt in all its forms. To accuse is |
Tx:15.13 | of release you offer and will receive. They attest to your | willingness to be released and to offer time to the Holy Spirit for |
Tx:15.36 | Your practice must therefore rest upon your | willingness to let all littleness go. The instant in which magnitude |
Tx:15.39 | release from littleness in the mind of the host of God depends on | willingness and not on time. The reason why this course is simple |
Tx:15.42 | oppose it. For the holy instant is given and received with equal | willingness, being the acceptance of the single will that governs |
Tx:15.49 | and be sure that it will not result in pain if you offer Him your | willingness to have it serve no need but His. All the guilt in it |
Tx:15.78 | Here there is no concealment and no private thoughts. The | willingness to communicate attracts communication to it and |
Tx:15.79 | for your release. He must side with every sign or token of your | willingness to learn of Him what the truth must be. He is swift to |
Tx:15.80 | it be all that there is. God's Son has such great need of your | willingness to strive for this that you cannot conceive of need so |
Tx:15.85 | entails, so you will become willing to make it permanent. Given this | willingness, it will not leave you, for it is permanent. For once |
Tx:16.13 | of the reality of what has clearly been accomplished through your | willingness, as long as you believe that you must understand it or |
Tx:16.27 | commensurate with teaching. You have chosen this by your own | willingness to teach. Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of |
Tx:16.40 | to forget and your ability to remember. In Him are joined your | willingness to love and all the love of God, Who forgot you not. |
Tx:16.41 | to remember it. The Holy Spirit is the bridge to Him, made from your | willingness to unite with Him and created by His joy in union with |
Tx:16.67 | on to meet them gladly, and learn how much awaits you for the simple | willingness to give up nothing because it is nothing. |
Tx:16.69 | a holy instant and there let Him release you. He needs only your | willingness to share His perspective to give it to you completely. |
Tx:16.69 | to share His perspective to give it to you completely. And your | willingness need not be complete because His is perfect. It is His |
Tx:16.69 | recognition of your unwillingness for your release, His perfect | willingness is given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His call. |
Tx:17.37 | the frame at all because the gift can only be accepted through your | willingness to focus all your attention on the picture. The holy |
Tx:18.15 | examples both of the ego's inability to tolerate reality and your | willingness to change reality on its behalf. |
Tx:18.25 | accepted is the goal of knowledge, for which you signified your | willingness. Fear seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, |
Tx:18.29 | You have been willing to bring the darkness to light, and this | willingness has given strength to everyone who would remain in |
Tx:18.32 | determination to be holy. It is the answer. The desire and the | willingness to let it come precedes its coming. You prepare your |
Tx:18.33 | your good intentions. They are not enough. But trust implicitly your | willingness, whatever else may enter. Concentrate only on this and be |
Tx:18.33 | coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies in your | willingness to let it be what it is. And in your willingness for this |
Tx:18.33 | lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your | willingness for this lies also your acceptance of yourself as you |
Tx:18.34 | must be interfering with His Will. You do not need the strength of | willingness to come from you, but only from His Will. |
Tx:18.35 | The holy instant does not come from your little | willingness alone. It is always the result of your small willingness |
Tx:18.35 | your little willingness alone. It is always the result of your small | willingness combined with the unlimited power of God's Will. You have |
Tx:18.35 | for peace. God has established them. They do not wait upon your | willingness for what they are. Your willingness is needed only to |
Tx:18.35 | them. They do not wait upon your willingness for what they are. Your | willingness is needed only to make it possible to teach you what |
Tx:18.36 | first atone, but only to those who offer it nothing more than simple | willingness to make way for it. Purification is of God alone and |
Tx:18.42 | That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a little | willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred and to be |
Tx:18.46 | by anything, stop instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your | willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this instant for |
Tx:21.13 | little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the same small | willingness you need to have your whole relationship transformed to |
Tx:22.28 | to see his brother sinless. And no one can remain beyond this | willingness if you would be released entirely from all effects of |
Tx:22.58 | will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one little smile or | willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake be lost to anyone. |
Tx:24.2 | To learn this course requires | willingness to question every value that you hold. Not one can be |
Tx:24.60 | self you understand, nor do you deem this cost too heavy. But a tiny | willingness, a nod to God, a greeting to the Christ in you, you find |
Tx:25.36 | How better could your own mistakes be brought to truth than by your | willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond |

Tx:25.79 | are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds out his hand in | willingness they be received. Nor is the treasure less as it is given |
Tx:26.56 | complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a little | willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that speaks |
Tx:26.56 | with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a | willingness that truth be true? What can remain unhealed and broken |
Tx:28.46 | when you do not insist on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your | willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son |
Tx:30.1 | by which it can be reached depends on this one thing alone—your | willingness to practice every step. Each one will help a little every |

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:11.7 | 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:11.13 | 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 | 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:20.45 | 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. |

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 |

T3:16.2 | Saying that | willingness is the only offering that is required of you is the same |

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 |

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 | 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 | 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: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: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. |

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: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: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: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:25.51 | 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:26.48 | Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception is a | wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take the place of |

Tx:26.55 | Yet is this | wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to God's Will. |

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: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:12.50 | it holds the only things that are forever true. All healing lies | within it because its continuity is real. It extends to all aspects |
Tx:12.63 | Him not. His Being does not depend upon your recognition. He lives | within you in the quiet present and waits for you to leave the past |
Tx:12.65 | be. In perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all about him and | within him. He must deny the world of pain the instant he perceives |
Tx:12.71 | may become, no world outside himself holds his inheritance. | Within himself he has no needs, for light needs nothing but to |
Tx:13.17 | Guilt makes you blind, for while you see one spot of guilt | within you, you will not see the light. And by projecting it, the |
Tx:13.17 | throw a dark veil over it and cannot see it because you cannot look | within. You are afraid of what you would see there, but it is not |
Tx:13.17 | it is not there. The thing you fear is gone. If you would look | within, you would see only the Atonement, shining in quiet and in |
Tx:13.18 | Do not be afraid to look | within. The ego tells you all is black with guilt within you and bids |
Tx:13.18 | be afraid to look within. The ego tells you all is black with guilt | within you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you look upon |
Tx:13.18 | in which they shroud them, are too afraid to look upon the light | within. Within you is not what you believe is there and what you |
Tx:13.18 | they shroud them, are too afraid to look upon the light within. | Within you is not what you believe is there and what you put your |
Tx:13.19 | Within you is the holy sign of perfect faith your Father has in you. | |
Tx:13.19 | but you cannot change it. Look, then, upon the light He placed | within you and learn that what you feared was there has been |
Tx:13.22 | they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they will not look | within and let it go. They cannot know they love and cannot |
Tx:13.24 | guilt in you. For you will have accepted the Atonement, which shone | within you all the while you dreamed of guilt and would not look |
Tx:13.24 | within you all the while you dreamed of guilt and would not look | within and see it. |
Tx:13.25 | in any way in anyone whatever he may do, you will not look | within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt |
Tx:13.27 | is pressing everywhere upon him from without. When he has looked | within and seen the radiance there, he will remember how much his |
Tx:13.28 | how much you love Him. Yet it is forever true. In shining peace | within you is the perfect purity in which you were created. Fear not |
Tx:13.29 | from guilt as you would be released. There is no other way to look | within and see the light of love shining as steadily and as surely as |
Tx:13.29 | always loved your Father can have no fear for any reason to look | within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you believed you |
Tx:13.29 | vision, He would show you the perfect purity that is forever | within God's Son. |
Tx:13.32 | purity, wholly untouched by guilt and wholly loving, is bright | within you. Let us look upon him together and love him. For in our |
Tx:13.42 | The Communication Link which God Himself placed | within you, joining your minds with His, cannot be broken. You may |
Tx:13.82 | remain in close communication with Him and with everything that is | within Him, as it is within yourself. Unlearn isolation through His |
Tx:13.82 | with Him and with everything that is within Him, as it is | within yourself. Unlearn isolation through His loving guidance and |
Tx:13.86 | You will not see the symbol of your brother's guiltlessness shining | within him while you still believe it is not there. His |
Tx:13.90 | are wrong about yourself. He created you out of Himself but still | within Him. He knows what you are. Remember that there is no second |
Tx:14.4 | only He knows what God is. Everything else that you have placed | within your mind cannot exist, for what is not in communication |
Tx:14.8 | purity to remain hidden, but shine away the heavy veils of guilt | within which the Son of God has hidden himself from his own sight. We |
Tx:14.11 | in your safe inclusion in what is for all in everyone you bring | within its safety and its perfect peace. |
Tx:14.12 | the acknowledgment of perfect purity from which no one is excluded. | Within its holy circle is everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy |
Tx:14.12 | draws everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly | within this circle and attract all tortured minds to join with you in |
Tx:14.12 | join with you in the safety of its peace and holiness. Abide with me | within it as teachers of Atonement, not of guilt. |
Tx:14.13 | In guiltlessness we know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I stand | within the circle, calling you to peace. Teach peace with me and |
Tx:14.13 | cannot teach His perfect peace. Stand not outside but join with me | within. Fail not the only purpose to which my teaching calls you. |
Tx:14.15 | Each one you see you place | within the holy circle of Atonement or leave outside, judging him fit |
Tx:14.15 | in the holy place of peace, which is for all of us, united as one | within the cause of peace. |
Tx:14.17 | The quiet light in which the Holy Spirit dwells | within you is merely perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and |
Tx:14.34 | this. And yet you do know God and also this. All this is safe | within you, where the Holy Spirit shines. He shines not in division, |
Tx:14.40 | gods upon it. The temple still is holy, for the Presence that dwells | within it is Holiness. |
Tx:15.39 | I stand | within the holy instant, as clear as you would have me. And the |
Tx:15.60 | mind that thought it and could not relinquish it. By holding it | within itself, there was no loss. The holy instant thus becomes a |
Tx:15.102 | in darkness. See it not outside yourself but shining in the Heaven | within and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He |
Tx:15.104 | part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome and live | within himself in peace? And who can try to resolve the perceived |
Tx:16.24 | real cause and effect relationship that is perfectly apparent. Yet | within you is everything you taught. What can it be that has not |
Tx:16.28 | by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined | within it. And so the one who would cross over is literally |
Tx:16.32 | the haven by attempting to build barricades against it and keep | within them. The special love relationship is not perceived as a |
Tx:16.35 | to seek for love but merely to seek and find all of the barriers | within yourself which you have built against it. It is not |
Tx:16.35 | love outside yourself, you can be certain that you perceive hatred | within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the |
Tx:16.63 | as it is seen here. For the little spark which holds the Great Rays | within it is also visible, and this spark cannot be limited long to |
Tx:16.68 | is increased with each light that returns to take its rightful place | within it. Wait no longer, for the love of God and you. And may the |
Tx:17.30 | it and by His blessing enabled it to be healed. This blessing holds | within itself the truth about everything. And the truth is that the |
Tx:17.54 | shining and gracious in your awareness of time but not concealed | within it. The instant remains. But where are you? To give thanks |
Tx:17.55 | you, you could not share in its gladness. Yet because it is | within, the gladness, too, is yours. You are joined in purpose, but |
Tx:18.6 | [It was inevitable.] For truth brought to this could only remain | within in quiet and take no part in all the mad projection by which |
Tx:18.7 | it is the other way; that truth is outside and error and guilt | within. Your little senseless substitutions, touched with insanity |
Tx:18.8 | from sight, far, far outside you. And turn you to the stately calm | within, where in holy stillness dwells the living God you never left |
Tx:18.8 | outside yourself, leading you gently back to the truth and safety | within. He brings all your insane projections and your wild |
Tx:18.9 | and sharing and substituting have nothing in common in reality. | Within yourselves you love each other with a perfect love. Here is |
Tx:18.11 | is glad that your relationship is as it was created.] The universe | within you stands with you, together. And Heaven looks with love on |
Tx:18.12 | world and through another to the loveliness and joy the other holds | within it. Would you still further weaken and break apart what is |
Tx:18.18 | 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 not respond to |
Tx:18.21 | be a happy dream, and one which you will share with all who come | within your sight. Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has |
Tx:18.45 | Nor is your holy relationship a dream. All that remains of dreams | within it is that it is still a special relationship. Yet it is |
Tx:18.49 | there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness and nothing else | within. |
Tx:18.56 | reach each other.] Mind reaches to itself. It does not go out. | Within itself it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. [It |
Tx:18.56 | it. [It encompasses everything.] It encompasses you entirely; you | within it, and it within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or ever. |
Tx:18.56 | everything.] It encompasses you entirely; you within it, and it | within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or ever. |
Tx:18.62 | appeal the holy instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself | within its safe embrace. There are the laws of limit lifted for |
Tx:18.69 | has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and make a place | within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. |
Tx:18.71 | for it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves | within a body know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize |
Tx:18.72 | little segment of Heaven splintered from the whole, proclaiming that | within it is your kingdom, where God can enter not. |
Tx:18.73 | Within this kingdom the ego rules, and cruelly. And to defend this | |
Tx:18.77 | sun nor ocean is the power that rests in you. Would you remain | within your tiny kingdom, a sorry king, a bitter ruler of all he |
Tx:18.85 | surrounded by darkness, guarded by attack, and reinforced by hate. | Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God, |
Tx:18.98 | lifting the shadows from the world and carrying it safe and sure | within its gentleness to the bright world of new and clean |
Tx:19.37 | which He will bring means and goal in line. The peace He laid deep | within both of you] will quietly extend to every aspect of your |
Tx:19.38 | you. All this will you do. Yet the peace which already lies deeply | within must first expand and flow across the obstacles you placed |
Tx:19.40 | never leaving you. If you would make it homeless, how can it abide | within the Son of God? If it would spread across the whole creation, |
Tx:19.42 | The Holy Spirit's purpose rests in peace | within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you wholly. |
Tx:19.64 | there already. We will surmount all obstacles together, for we stand | within the gates and not outside. How easily the gates are opened |
Tx:19.64 | the gates and not outside. How easily the gates are opened from | within to let peace through to bless the tired world! Can it be |
Tx:19.65 | the end of guilt, remembering that what I signify to you, you see | within yourself? |
Tx:19.66 | the truth, and love looks on itself. Salvation flows from deep | within the home you offered to my Father and to me. And we are there |
Tx:19.67 | I taught by teaching freedom to each other and so releasing me. I am | within your holy relationship, yet you would imprison me behind the |
Tx:19.75 | must regard the body as himself, without which he would die, and yet | within which is his death equally inevitable. |
Tx:19.86 | needs not your protection; it is yours. For it is deathless, and | within it lies the end of death. |
Tx:19.107 | guiltless as I look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees | within himself. Offer each other freedom and complete release from |
Tx:19.110 | would lift you far beyond the veil and place the Son of God safely | within the sure protection of his Father. Here is the only purpose |
Tx:20.13 | guiding light and sure protection, and shining from the holy altar | within him where you laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be to |
Tx:20.14 | present. Now is he free, unlimited in his communion with all that is | within him. Now are the lilies of his innocence untouched by guilt |
Tx:20.18 | do not interfere with truth. They are not afraid of it, for it is | within the truth they recognized their holiness and rejoiced at what |
Tx:20.19 | by their adjustments. And they look out in sorrow from what is sad | within and see the sadness there. |
Tx:20.27 | no sin and it must look on others as on itself. Looking with charity | within, what can it fear without? The innocent see safety, and the |
Tx:20.27 | without? The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God | within His Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And |
Tx:20.30 | What could this be but madness? And is it this that you would see | within your savior from insanity? He is as free from this as you are, |
Tx:20.32 | sinless give as they received. See, then, the power of sinlessness | within your brother and share with him the power of the release from |
Tx:20.50 | kept “safe” from Him. But what you do not realize is what you fear | within your brother and would not see in him is what makes God seem |
Tx:20.54 | the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests | within it in the certainty it will endure forever. Its firm |
Tx:20.73 | imagination. But vision sets all things right, bringing them gently | within the kindly sway of Heaven's laws. What if you recognized this |
Tx:20.75 | They are the means by which the outside world, projected from | within, adjusts to sin and seems to witness to its reality. It still |
Tx:20.76 | What has no meaning cannot be perceived. And meaning always looks | within to find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you give |
Tx:20.76 | that you give the world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw | within; or better, if you saw at all or merely judged against. Vision |
Tx:21.10 | to infinity, forever shining and with no break or limit anywhere. | Within it everything is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it |
Tx:21.11 | Here is the memory of what you are—a part of this, with all of it | within and joined to all as surely as all is joined in you. Accept |
Tx:21.17 | himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is possible | within the universe as God created it, outside of which is nothing. |
Tx:21.23 | of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it possible to look | within and see what must be there plainly in sight and wholly |
Tx:21.41 | but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to look | within and see the sin you think is there. This you would not be |
Tx:21.42 | the ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to look | within because of sin is yet another fear and one which makes the ego |
Tx:21.43 | What if you looked | within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego |
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 |
W1:159.6 | no sickness not already healed, no lack unsatisfied, no need unmet | within this golden treasury of Christ. |
W1:162.1 | to the world you made. By them it disappears, and all things seen | within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these words |
W1:163.2 | thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things | within its withered hand; all hopes and wishes in its blighting |
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 |
W1:167.8 | changeless with the power to extend forever changelessly but yet | within Themselves, for They are everywhere. |
W1:167.9 | not have, a foreign state it cannot enter, or a false condition not | within its Source, it merely seems to go to sleep a while. It dreams |
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 |
W1:188.5 | The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it | within himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his |
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. |
W1:189.9 | way. Through every opened door His love shines outward from its home | within and lightens up the world in innocence. |
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 |
W1:196.8 | And God, Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed back | within the holy mind He never left. |
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 |
W1:199.6 | to enslave, it is a worthy servant of the freedom which the mind | within the Holy Spirit seeks. |
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 |
W1:200.8 | everyone will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins | within the world perceived as different and leading from this fresh |
W1:200.8 | the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom lies | within the peace of God. |
W1:207.1 | world because I bless myself. God's blessing shines upon me from | within my heart where He abides. I need but turn to Him, and every |
W1:208.1 | with me. And in that stillness, we will find the peace of God. It is | within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself. I am not a body. I |
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 |
W2:222.1 | God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life | within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the |
W2:223.1 | a separate entity which moved in isolation, unattached, and housed | within a body. Now I know my life is God's. I have no other home, and |
W2:225.1 | I want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind, and keeping it | within its kindly light, inviolate—beloved, with fear behind and |

W2:WIB.1 | fence, he thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For | within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love. Identifying |

W2:261.1 | I will behold myself where I perceive my strength and think I live | within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me |
W2:264.1 | beyond Your one creation or without the Love Which holds all things | within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in |

W2:WIC.1 | another and with God as well. He is the Thought Which still abides | within the Mind That is His Source. He has not left His holy home nor |
W2:WIC.3 | Holy Spirit and at home in God alone, does Christ remain at peace | within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is the only part of you |
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 |
W2:288.1 | mine. And I am saved 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 |

W2:297.1 | And I, 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 |
W2:WISC.2 | Second Coming that permits it to embrace the world and hold you safe | within its gentle advent, which encompasses all living things with |
W2:309.1 | Within me is eternal innocence because it is God's Will that it be | |
W2:309.1 | 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 created it and as it is. I fear |
W2:309.1 | but to find my will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look | within because I think I made another will which is not true and made |
W2:309.1 | will which is not true and made it real. Yet it has no effects. | Within me is the holiness of God. Within me is the memory of Him. |
W2:309.1 | it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the holiness of God. | Within me is the memory of Him. |
W2:313.1 | come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and look | within upon my sinlessness which You have kept completely undefiled |
W2:WICR.3 | the whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate, forever held | within His holy will beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, |
W2:331.1 | You 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 |
W2:332.1 | Forgiveness bids this presence enter in and take its rightful place | within the mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing |
W2:336.1 | truth. Its lilies shine into the mind and call it to return and look | within, to find what it has vainly sought without. For here and only |
W2:336.2 | away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father, look | within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word |
W2:336.2 | Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged | within my mind; Your love is still abiding in my heart. |
W2:WIM.1 | perception nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays | within time's limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of |
W2:350.1 | us as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all things | within himself as You created him. Your memory depends on his |
W2:352.1 | to follow in this way. You have not left me comfortless. I have | within me both the memory of You and One Who leads me to it. Father, |

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.14 | others, but to awaken to a new world. If all that you see changed | within your world is a little less insanity than before, then you |
C:P.26 | the family of man. It is called one species, the human species. | Within this family of man are individual families, and among them, |
C:P.26 | members are descended from the same ancestors, the same bloodline. | Within that bloodline are genes that carry particular traits and |
C:P.27 | an offspring, who must exist in some form like unto the Father. | Within the story of the human race there is a story about the coming |
C:P.37 | could get on a bus and be transported there? Yet each of you holds | within you the power to reach heaven. Knowing your Self as who you |
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:2.15 | the past to show you the way beyond illusions to the present. Look | within to the one in you who knows the way. Christ is within you and |
C:2.15 | present. Look within to the one in you who knows the way. Christ is | within you and you rest within God. I vowed to never leave you and to |
C:2.15 | the one in you who knows the way. Christ is within you and you rest | within God. I vowed to never leave you and to never leave you |
C:2.21 | of the outcome of your learning. Your perception of an outcome | within your control is all that needs to change. Remember that cause |
C:3.2 | to learn what they are. They are the same as you. All exist | within you. You are the universe itself. |
C:3.7 | form as it is but only as what it will do for you. You imprison form | within your meaning, and still your meaning is truer than its form. |
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:4.12 | to guide others must be earned through the acquisition of wisdom not | within your reach. |
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:5.8 | as palaces to your love and no longer see the golden calves hiding | within the palace walls. |
C:5.14 | Within you is all the world safe, sure, and secure. No terror reigns. | |
C:5.14 | the night. Let me give you once again the difference between what is | within and what is without: Within is all that has joined with you. |
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:5.20 | The first and only exercise for your mind | within this Course has already been stated: Dedicate your thought to |
C:5.22 | is in vain or that a simple solution exists. A simple solution | within your world, a solution that requires no exertion on your part, |
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:7.18 | Be it wounded, bleeding, broken or full, it rests in wholeness | within you at the center of who you are. |
C:8.8 | surface, but keeping it not from fulfilling its function or carrying | within itself that which keeps you safe upon this raging sea. |
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:8.16 | your return to your real home, for were you locked up and contained | within your body, and were you to accept this container as your home, |
C:9.3 | protect? Thus, all of your love—the love that you imagine you keep | within yourself, and the love that you imagine you receive and give— |
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 | at your heart in the most gentle of ways. Its whisper will be heard | within your thoughts. Its melody will play within your mind. “Come |
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:10.32 | “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You will know there is a place | within yourself where you are missed and longed for and safe and |
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:12.19 | change would be the shape of his life, the things that would happen | within it, perhaps the places in which it would occur or the people |
C:12.24 | into an external world is quite real, it is all that is truly real | within it. The son could not create unlike the Father who created |
C:13.7 | do is to become aware of spirit and to allow this awareness to abide | within you. If you feel resistance to attempting this exercise, |
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:14.19 | to claim it for your own lest it get away! It too must be maintained | within your universe, or you will know it not and its benefits will |
C:14.24 | is what you 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 |
C:15.2 | What harm is there in specialness? Only all the harm you see | within the world. |
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:18.13 | of the idea of learning from unity in order for it to come from | within and leave not its source. An idea of mine can only become an |
C:19.3 | been taken from you, nor has the power of creation abandoned you. | Within creation's own laws does the solution rest. |
C:19.14 | and why they conclude that God is unknowable. God is knowable from | within the mystery of non-duality itself. It would be impossible for |
C:20.8 | longer looking out but looking in. All landscapes and horizons form | within the embrace. All beauty resides there. All light is fused and |
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:20.14 | Christ reigns in the kingdom in which I live just as Christ reigned | within me on earth. In the cave on this earth where my dead body was |
C:20.15 | None are dead. All share the heartbeat of the world and are at rest | within each other, within each other's embrace and the embrace of |
C:20.15 | share the heartbeat of the world and are at rest within each other, | within each other's embrace and the embrace of God's love, God's |
C:20.16 | for the feeling of abandonment so many of you have felt. You are now | within the embrace where all such hurts are healed. |
C:20.17 | as good. It is but the place of your interaction with all that lives | within you, sharing the one heartbeat. The heartbeat of the world |
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:20.21 | of the embrace. Within the embrace you can let all thought go. | Within the embrace, you can quit thinking even of holy things, holy |
C:20.21 | ocean and her surf, all live by the universal heartbeat and exist | within the embrace. Is not all you can imagine holy when you imagine |
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:Day18.1 | a bypassing of the final stage of the old and to anchoring the new | within the web of reality. Still others will participate in both, |
D:Day18.2 | birth of the new and in truth symbolizes it in form and process. As | within, so without. Mary represents the relationship that occurs |
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 |

Tx:15.20 | You will doubt until you hear one | witness whom you have wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And |
Tx:15.59 | On the contrary, you are far more inclined to regard his success as | witness to the possibility of yours. That is because you recognize, |

Tx:26.4 | of God must be denied if any sacrifice is asked of anyone. What | witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen within a world of |

Tx:26.6 | no song of liberation for yourself nor see what it is given him to | witness to that you may see it and rejoice with him. Make not his |
Tx:26.7 | who would make a sacrifice of life and make your eyes and ears bear | witness to the death of God and of His holy Son, think not that you |

Tx:27.16 | effect. What you would prove to him, you will believe. The power of | witness comes from your belief. And everything you say or do or |
Tx:27.20 | sacrifices his. The Holy Spirit knows your healing is the | witness unto his and cannot be apart from his at all. As long as he |
Tx:27.45 | Health is the | witness unto health. As long as it is unattested, it remains without |
Tx:27.46 | abiding-place. From there each one is born into this world as | witness to a state of mind which has transcended conflict and has |
Tx:27.48 | for they cannot both be there. And what you see the world will | witness, and will witness to. |
Tx:27.48 | both be there. And what you see the world will witness, and will | witness to. |
Tx:27.55 | Sin shifts from pain to pleasure and again to pain. For either | witness is the same and carries but one message: “You are here within |
Tx:27.56 | This name or that, but nothing more, you choose. You do not make a | witness true because you called him by truth's name. The truth is |
Tx:27.57 | God's | Witness sees no witnesses against the body. Neither does He harken |
Tx:27.57 | function is. Yet must He love whatever you hold dear. And for each | witness to the body's death He sends a witness to your life in Him |
Tx:27.57 | you hold dear. And for each witness to the body's death He sends a | witness to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He |
Tx:27.57 | to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He brings is | witness that the body is not real. Its pains and pleasures does He |
Tx:27.58 | perceived them all as one and called by name of fear. As fear is | witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness unto life. It is a |
Tx:27.58 | name of fear. As fear is witness unto death, so is the miracle the | witness unto life. It is a witness no one can deny, for it is the |
Tx:27.58 | witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness unto life. It is a | witness no one can deny, for it is the effects of life it brings. |
Tx:27.60 | God Himself has guaranteed the strength of miracles for what they | witness to. Be witnesses unto the miracle and not the laws of sin. |
Tx:27.66 | from its effects. The cause produces the effects which then bear | witness to the cause and not themselves. Look, then, beyond effects. |
Tx:27.67 | world from condemnation is your own escape. Forget not that the | witness to the world of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a |
Tx:27.67 | the first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the world bears | witness to. Seek not another cause nor look among the mighty legions |
Tx:28.10 | what was causeless and against His Will. What your remembering would | witness to is but the fear of God. He has not done the thing you |
Tx:28.35 | never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you | witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it will make a |
Tx:28.43 | His desire to be a sick and separated mind cannot remain without a | witness or a cause. And both are gone if someone wills to be united |

Tx:28.51 | jagged piece, each senseless scrap and shred of evidence, and make a | witness to the world you want. Let not the body's ears and eyes |

W1:151.12 | you see. It stands beyond the body and the world, past every | witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself. In everyone |
W1:163.5 | to him, for he has passed to dust. It says but this: “Here lies a | witness God is dead.” And this it writes again and still again, while |
W1:166.15 | touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be | witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which |
W1:169.4 | that time will be and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear | witness to the Word of God to hasten the experience of truth and |
W1:169.7 | taught and learned, brings with it the experiences which bear | witness that the time the mind itself determined to abandon all but |
W1:169.12 | of you remains outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in need of you as | witness to the truth? |
W1:190.2 | Pain is but | witness to the Son's mistakes in what he thinks he is. It is a dream |
W1:190.4 | Who but a madman could conceive of them as cause of anything? Their | witness, pain, is mad as they and no more to be feared than the |
W1:191.2 | chaos and proclaim it as yourself. There is no sight that fails to | witness this to you. There is no sound that does not speak of frailty |

W1:125.5 | He has not waited until you return your mind to Him to give His | Word to you. He has not hid Himself from you while you have wandered |

W2:276.1 | What is the | Word of God? “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God |
W2:276.1 | the Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the | Word His Son did not create with Him because in this His Son was |
W2:276.1 | we have come. And yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His | Word to us in our creation, to remember Him and so recall our Self. |
W2:276.2 | Father, Your | Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all my brothers, |
W2:296.1 | today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your | Word through me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I |

W2:WISC.1 | what is forever and forever true. It is the invitation to God's | Word to take illusion's place, the willingness to let forgiveness |

W1:94.3 | to feel the truth in you. Begin these times of searching with these | words: |
W1:94.9 | be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these | words: |
W1:95.14 | slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the | words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas: |

W1:97.8 | Begin these happy exercises with the | words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the |
W1:97.11 | and your Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak the | words He offers you today, and let Him tell your mind that they are |

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 faith and confidence |

W1:R4.2 | step in the review we undertake, which can be simply stated in these | words: |

W1:154.15 | The world recedes as we light up our minds and realize these holy | words are true. They are the message sent to us today from our |
W1:156.8 | cease. God speaks for you in answering your question with these | words: |
W1:161.1 | disappear and offer room to love. Here is salvation in the simple | words in which we practice today's idea. Here is the answer to |
W1:161.4 | Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these | words bring perfect clarity with them to you? What can they seem to |
W1:162.1 | in learning. It will mean far more to you as you advance. These | words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the |
W1:162.1 | more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for they are the | words God gave in answer to the world you made. By them it |
W1:162.1 | seen within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these | words are spoken. For they come from God. |
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. |
W1:162.4 | Today we practice simply. For the | words we use are mighty, and they need no thoughts beyond themselves |
W1:162.6 | with one like him in holiness? You are as God created you. These | words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come |
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:I2.3 | And so we start our journey beyond | words by concentrating first on what impedes our progress still. |
W1:182.2 | defensiveness and self-deception, would deny he understands the | words we speak? |
W1:182.8 | stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond all | words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at |
W1:183.7 | else. Let all your thoughts become anchored on this. No other | words we use except at the beginning, when we say today's idea but |
W1:183.11 | No prayer but this is necessary, for it holds them all within it. | words are insignificant and all requests unneeded when God's Son |
W1:183.12 | still relationship, in which communication far transcends all | words and yet exceeds in depth and height whatever words could |
W1:183.12 | transcends all words and yet exceeds in depth and height whatever | words could possibly convey, is peace eternal. In our Father's Name, |
W1:185.1 | To say these | words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. If you could |
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 |
W1:193.10 | been given power over you. You see them rightly when you hold these | words in full awareness, and do not forget these words apply to |
W1:193.10 | when you hold these words in full awareness, and do not forget these | words apply to everything you see or any brother looks upon amiss. |
W1:193.20 | every care, and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame | words. And then you hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and brings |
W1:198.5 | the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His | words and substitute your own in place of His? |
W1:198.6 | His | words will work. His words will save. His words contain all hope, all |

W1:198.6 | and come to you with Heaven's love upon them. Those who hear His | words have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the words in which |
W1:198.6 | who hear His words have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the | words in which all will merge as one at last. And as this one will |

W1:R6.6 | We will attempt to get beyond all | words and special forms of practicing for this review. For we attempt |
W2:I.1 | Words will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do | |
W2:I.3 | which conclude the year that we have given God. We say some simple | words of welcome and expect our Father to reveal Himself as He has |
W2:I.4 | be accepted. So our times with Him will now be spent. We say the | words of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him |
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 |
W2:I.11 | One further use for | words we still retain. From time to time, instructions on a theme of |
W2:222.2 | Father, we have no | words except Your Name upon our lips and in our minds as we come |
W2:229.1 | I seek my own Identity and find it in these | words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.” Now need I seek no |
W2:254.2 | Today we let no ego thoughts direct our | words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and |
W2:275.2 | whom to speak, and what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what | words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, |
W2:284.1 | elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these | words today, go past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance |
W2:296.1 | me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no | words but Yours and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for |
W2:WAI.2 | Our use for | words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we |
W2:WAI.2 | So what I am are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for | words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, |

M:21.1 | of the heart, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the | words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does |
M:21.1 | sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand | words, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the |

C:2.17 | You do not stand separate and alone. At these | words your heart rejoices and your mind rebels. Your mind rebels |
C:3.4 | but they are not the form that your body's eyes see. Just as these | words you see upon this page are symbols only of meaning far beyond |
C:3.9 | What is there left to say that has not been said? What are these | words but symbols, by my own admission? It is in what they symbolize |
C:3.9 | they symbolize that help arrives. You do not need to believe in the | words nor the potential of the exercises to change your life, for |

C:3.14 | These | words of love do not enter your body through your eyes and take up |
C:4.26 | Think you not that this joining is a metaphor, a string of pleasant | words that will bring you comfort if you heed them, one more |
C:4.26 | comfort if you heed them, one more sentiment in a world where lovely | words replace what they would mean. This joining is the goal you |
C:5.26 | Stop now and realize your reaction to these | words, the strength of your resistance. Give up what you want? This |
C:6.3 | This is all that the | words and symbols and forms and structures of your world have come to |
C:7.18 | your mind. Your heart may be said to break, but the image that these | words call forth is of a heart cracked open, not of a heart in |
C:7.23 | if only for the little while that it will take you to read these | words. Start with this idea: You will allow for the possibility of a |
C:7.23 | waiting heart. Hold in your heart the idea that as you read these | words—and when you finish reading these words—their truth will be |
C:7.23 | that as you read these words—and when you finish reading these | words—their truth will be revealed to you. Let your heart be open |
C:8.6 | can cause you to feel as if your heart overflows with love. Harsh | words that enter through your ears can cause your face to redden and |

C:11.3 | from failing one more time. Even those who feel the power of these | words within their hearts and vow to go slowly and carefully through |
C:11.17 | do not need to think about it, but only let it be. You need put no | words on it, for words cannot express it any more than words can |

C:12.19 | As near as | words can describe the separation, this is what occurred: An idea of |

C:19.15 | my experience. If this were so, all of those who read of my life and | words would have learned what I learned from my experience. While |
C:19.16 | To think without thought or know without | words are ideas quite foreign to you, and truly, while you remain |
C:19.16 | truly, while you remain here, even experiences beyond thoughts and | words you will apply word and thought to. Yet love has often brought |
C:20.2 | eyes and begin to see with an imagination that is beyond thought and | words. |
C:22.9 | outside of yourself, please, when thinking of this, use the | words I have provided: everything within your world. In the act of |
C:26.9 | Your reliance on these scenes and memories must be broken before my | words can reach your mind and begin to replace these scenes with new |
C:26.9 | these scenes with new ones. Until that time is upon you, let my | words touch your heart. |
C:26.10 | You who struggle to understand what these | words say and what they might mean, who strive to find the clues to |
C:26.10 | wishes for could simply come true through your acceptance of these | words. But I am prepared to make it easy for you. |
C:26.15 | This Course is but a trigger. These | words the prelude to the explosion. It is as if you have been waiting |
C:26.18 | You may experience disappointment at these | words, and feel as if you have been waiting to be invited to a party |
C:27.21 | will now depend on whether or not you trust. Do you trust these | words? Do you trust in God? Can you trust in your Self? |
C:30.9 | This discourse may seem to have traveled far from | words of love, words promised and words given in truth. For no love |

T1:3.1 | applied relate to memory in terms of your experience here. In other | words they will relate to the re-experiencing of all that you believe |
T1:4.3 | your old habit of thought has led you to see. Miracles are, in other | words, a way of thinking, the new way that we are going to learn |
T1:4.11 | There is much play on the | words response, responsible, and responsibility here. This is no |
T1:7.6 | the differences between the human and divine. We must, in other | words, speak of incarnation. |
T1:8.11 | concrete distinction in the illusion within which you live. In other | words you live as much by myth as by truth and myth often more |
T1:8.16 | parts of yourself expressed in form and story, expressed, in other | words, in a visual pattern that aides your understanding of the |
T1:9.3 | form, it must begin in the reality where you think you are. In other | words, it must begin with form. You cannot await some changed state |
T1:10.14 | way you find it, in whatever expression it takes, no matter what | words you use to describe it, is your answer to God and God's answer |
T2:1.9 | a champion. These are all scenes of things and places, or in other | words, of the external, of form. |
T2:3.1 | here in union with the one mind and one heart, in union, in other | words, with God. Everything you have ever wanted to be is. Everything |
T2:4.8 | to the glad acceptance of a gift of high value, or in other | words, a treasure. One set of thoughts and feelings contain all that |
T2:7.13 | rather than the illusion that surrounds you. You cannot, in other | words, be a good person in a bad world. You cannot effect change |
T2:7.14 | you believe in giving and receiving as one. You believe, in other | words, that your needs will be provided for, thus ceasing to be |
T2:9.2 | The word “need” and the word “dependent” are only | words and words that would be inconceivable to you in the state of |
T2:9.2 | The word “need” and the word “dependent” are only words and | words that would be inconceivable to you in the state of unity before |
T2:9.11 | As soon as you are content or self-satisfied, or, in other | words, feel your needs are met, the desire to hang on to what you |
T2:10.12 | long as you continue to attempt to learn with your ego, or in other | words, as long as you would continue to attempt to learn in the same |
T2:10.13 | You achieve this state only by listening to one voice, or, in other | words, by ending the separated state which is the state in which the |
T3:2.2 | Art becomes something in truth by expanding awareness, or in other | words, by making something known. This is what true relationship does |
T3:11.2 | an awareness of Self. Without necessarily being able to put it into | words, they no longer feel the statement of “I am” as a statement of |
T3:11.3 | These | words, truth and peace and love, are interchangeable in the House of |
T3:11.3 | in the House of Truth as their meaning there is the same. These | words, like the words House of Truth represent an awareness of a new |
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 |
T3:13.7 | nature. You might start practicing this idea by repeating these | words to yourself: |
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. |
T3:13.10 | You are not, however, meant to test these | words with foolish acts. To do so would be to act as if this were |
T3:15.16 | thought system, change the very nature of the self described by the | words human being. This calls for still more forgetting as you must |
T3:20.6 | in such a circumstance. You might feel called to tears, to | words that acknowledge how “bad” the illness or suffering is. You are |
T3:20.16 | These calls go out from love to love. It is not the | words of your mouth that will be heard or the language of your mind |
T3:21.9 | must become a concept only. Illusion is a set of facts, or in other | words, a set of information. These facts are subject to change and |
T3:21.15 | of your personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other | words, the world you were born into, regardless that it was the same |
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 |
T3:22.12 | between what is and what will be. You may have, upon reading those | words, thought that this creative tension would not necessarily be a |
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 |
T4:2.9 | point because those of you familiar with the Bible, upon hearing | words such as the end of time or the fullness of time, think of the |
T4:4.11 | how can it be that I speak of life-everlasting? Am I but using new | words to repeat what you have heard in various forms from various |
T4:6.1 | who have experienced temporary death. It is why you hear differing | words and scenarios attributed to me and other life-giving spirits, |
T4:7.7 | need for learning and thus ends the conditions of learning. In other | words, being in harmony with poor health and learning the lesson that |
T4:8.8 | still live. What could be disconnected was your will—or in other | words, your mind. Just as it is your nature to breathe oxygen, and |
T4:11.5 | As I do so, I bid you to read these | words in a new way. You are no longer a learner here and what I |
T4:11.5 | Do not seek for me to impart knowledge to you in these concluding | words. Absorb the following pages as a memory returned to your |
T4:12.7 | be less necessary. In the meantime, let me explain why these written | words are not the acts of an intermediary and why they represent |
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:1.19 | as much a “receiver” of this Dialogue as she who first hears these | words and transfers them to paper. |
D:1.20 | me and you. Wish not that the “way” of the transcriber of these | words were the way for everyone, and think not that to hear |
D:1.20 | say to you here, I say to you. It matters not that I say these same | words to many, for you and the many who join you in receiving these |
D:1.20 | words to many, for you and the many who join you in receiving these | words are one. |
D:2.11 | and that you make this judgment based upon the outcome. In other | words, you make this judgment “after the fact” when the outcome has |
D:3.4 | I have purposefully used | words such as victory and triumph, words unusual to the body of this |
D:3.4 | I have purposefully used words such as victory and triumph, | words unusual to the body of this work but words that will become |
D:3.4 | as victory and triumph, words unusual to the body of this work but | words that will become usual in our normal conversation in this |
D:3.4 | conversation in this dialogue. I use them as I use together the | words accept and deny. As the old must be denied for the new to come |
D:3.15 | It is giving and receiving as one. It is merely represented by the | words on this page and the words on this page are but a |
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 |
D:12.8 | communication and exchange. The same is true of the “thoughts” these | words symbolize. Thus we continue to expand the territory of your |
D:12.9 | it will not be consistent with your dictionary's definition of these | words, is still a useful distinction, as “thinking” is seen as what |
D:12.11 | thoughts you did not “think,” just as the first receiver of these | words received them as thoughts she did not “think.” |
D:13.11 | allow the truth to be shared. The relationship or union, in other | words, precedes the sharing of what can only be given and received in |
D:14.1 | of you have thought of it throughout your lifetime. It is, in other | words, consistent with the action and the adventure of discovery |
D:15.8 | but the movement of sound. Then we are told the content of the | words: It was said, “Let there be light.” More movement. Only when |
D:16.9 | apart from movement, being, and expression. You can choose, in other | words, to exist without allowing spirit to move you, without allowing |

D:Day1.3 | you are here with me. You have been listening to my words, and these | words are what have brought you here, not to a place but to an |
D:Day1.7 | left behind the conditions of the initiate. If you believe these are | words of wisdom and that you can remain ambivalent about their |
D:Day1.17 | Your desire to know me has grown as you have read these | words and grown closer to your Self. This is because we are One. To |

D:Day3.7 | You believe having a spiritual context for your life can, in other | words, change your inner life, but are more skeptical in regard to |
D:Day3.25 | you gain, and that with your gain will come another's loss. In other | words, here is where you must accept the teachings of this Course. |
D:Day3.29 | languages, before you could learn how to make money, or in other | words, to have abundance. You think you could more easily find love |
D:Day3.36 | finding an answer and finding a way or path. Many have read the | words of the Bible, the words of Lao-tzu, the words of Buddha. To |

D:Day3.36 | Many have read the words of the Bible, the words of Lao-tzu, the | words of Buddha. To teach is to convey the known. To speak of a way |
D:Day3.47 | no matter how much it enables you to attain. Certainty, in other | words, comes from somewhere else. This somewhere else we have defined |
D:Day3.48 | These | words are just what you may have expected to hear, and you may feel a |
D:Day3.53 | or great talent into fruition, just as you were told, in other | words, that the “givens” are not to be dealt with by the conscious, |
D:Day4.7 | almost exclusively with thinking, the terms of having thoughts, or | words, in your mind. |
D:Day4.13 | told that such a place exists is no more comforting than consoling | words if you do not feel you have access to this place. It is like |
D:Day4.25 | here extends to yourself as well, for all of you know how many of my | words have been forgotten, how many of the truths I expressed were |
D:Day4.34 | time together here even though you have not put this purpose into | words and put these words into your mind. What is the focus of which |
D:Day4.34 | even though you have not put this purpose into words and put these | words into your mind. What is the focus of which I speak, the focus |
D:Day4.37 | with it the desire to go beyond thinking, the desire to go beyond | words, the desire to go beyond where your imagination is capable of |
D:Day6.7 | a particular turn of phrase that inspires the creator to see these | words as lyrics. At some point after this gestation within the mind |
D:Day9.3 | In other | words, express your Self! |
D:Day10.20 | voice that will now animate the elevated Self of form, or in other | words, you. |
D:Day13.5 | A complete lack of love creates formidable obstacles, or in other | words, obstacles of solid form that contain no spaciousness. Solid |
D:Day14.12 | Your acceptance of these | words is a form of acceptance of the unknown and as such a means of |
D:Day14.12 | of the unknown and as such a means of coming to know. These | words are only one means, which is why this is called a dialogue. |
D:Day15.10 | union with the creative force that informs and is informed. In other | words, in union there is no distinction between the Self and the |
D:Day16.6 | because the source, which was separation, is no more. In other | words, illness is no longer observable once what was rejected rejoins |
D:Day17.2 | both the feminine and masculine, the “identity” of God, or in other | words, the All of All given an identity. God holds you within |
D:Day18.4 | through the individuation of the One Self among the many. In other | words, to choose to be an example life is to choose to be made known |
D:Day19.1 | 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 “specific” |
D:Day20.4 | This isn't quite accurate however. What has happened here is that | words have been put on the feelings and remembrances that you have |
D:Day20.9 | In other | words, all the truth and all the wisdom that is available but unknown |
D:Day21.2 | actual teacher, or a parent or a friend—to a student, or in other | words, from a giver to a receiver. |
D:Day22.1 | been coming to know yourself as channels without the need for these | words. Now we must speak of this, however, for there is a confusion |
D:Day22.4 | and the only means of the unknown becoming known. You, in other | words, are the channel, the conduit, of the unknown becoming known. |
D:Day22.6 | it? Through what means can you express it? Can you put it into | words, make it into images, tell it in a story? You will feel as if |
D:Day22.9 | Christ-consciousness, but what you call it now matters not. All the | words that have been expressed here, that say so many similar things |
D:Day22.9 | here, that say so many similar things in so many different ways, are | words that are simply calling you to realization of your union with |
D:Day22.10 | it what you will for what you call it matters not. Throw out all the | words that express the unknown in ways that you would not, and find |
D:Day24.5 | the potential has matured and been released. There is, in other | words, a necessity for each step in the accomplishment of wholeness, |
D:Day26.2 | guided by teachers, counselors, and leaders of all kinds, through | words spoken and read, through dialogue, through example. If you had |
D:Day27.10 | human and the divine, is to elevate the self of form, or, in other | words, to be what you have always been: Whole. |
D:Day27.12 | always existed, you just did not experience it. You were, in other | words, separate from it because of the degree of separation that you |
D:Day30.5 | and known are one, experience and experiencer are one. In other | words, one must experience in order to know. It follows then that |
D:Day31.8 | experience as the Self is to know the Self as creator, or in other | words, to know the One Self within the individuated Self. To know the |
D:Day33.4 | While these may seem like simple | words, or like a theory being proposed, these words are at the heart |
D:Day33.4 | may seem like simple words, or like a theory being proposed, these | words are at the heart of the new way of seeing yourself—a way of |
D:Day33.7 | are, and responding as who you are. You have been told that these | words are being given to you so that you do not respond to love in |
D:Day33.7 | are of one piece, one whole, and that whole is love. In other | words, every relationship, everything that comes to you, every event, |
D:Day33.12 | Being is power. Relationship is powerful. In other | words, relationship is the expression of power—all the different |
D:Day33.13 | full realization of the power of their independence. In other | words, you each have claimed some type of power for yourself, some |
D:Day35.8 | it has been, this shift will cause life to be different, or in other | words, new. |
D:Day36.17 | one in being with all, and God also is given form, or is, in other | words, differentiated. God is All in All. And God is also All in One |
D:Day38.9 | possession of relationship and union. Possession and ownership are | words that have become faulty ideas in separation. They mean an |
D:Day39.4 | find it difficult to give yourself an answer to who I Am to you in | words, and even if you are able to do so, you may not be able to |
D:Day39.12 | for it to link (where two or more are joined together). In other | words, there must be a you and a me. In other words, as you are |
D:Day39.12 | together). In other words, there must be a you and a me. In other | words, as you are individuated, so too am I. We jointly individuate |

W1:69.8 | what you undertake with God must succeed. Then let the power of God | work in you and through you, that His Will and yours may be done. |
W1:71.4 | source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not | work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the |
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 no |
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 |
W1:71.13 | 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. |
W1:80.5 | of salvation lies. It is because of this that it is guaranteed to | work. |
W1:86.2 | [71] Only God's plan for salvation will | work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about for salvation. I |
W1:86.2 | undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation will | work. And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail. |
W1:86.5 | is an attempt to prove that God's plan for salvation will not | work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding grievances, I am |
W1:86.5 | that God's plan for salvation will not work. Yet only His plan will | work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of |

W1:153.7 | delusion of an angry god whose fearful image you believe you see at | work in all the evils of the world? What but illusions could defend |

C:1.8 | and the other wrong. And as each new step is tried and found to | work, your confidence in the wisdom of this teacher would continue to |
C:2.9 | do know this, and yet you constantly forget. This forgetting is the | work of your ego. Your true Self does not want to forget, and cannot |

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 |
C:6.10 | desirable to you. A warmth not of this world, given freely, with no | work involved, causes you to shake your head. How can it be for you |
C:7.5 | held within your heart, and it is this piece with which we now will | work. |

C:11.2 | this fact. Every poem bears the mark of its creator, as does each | work of art you would gaze upon and call a masterpiece, as well as |
C:13.1 | to feel what unity means, and this I promise you. This is what we | work toward in this Course, for once you have experienced the feeling |
C:16.15 | believe that what has never worked before will somehow miraculously | work in the future. You have nothing but evidence of a life of |
C:16.26 | society. The worries that would occupy you can be let go if you but | work instead for the return of heaven and the return of your own Self. |
C:17.18 | cannot have different functions. And now your mind and heart must | work together in the united function we have established—returning |
C:18.9 | wholeheartedness. A half-hearted approach to this learning will not | work, nor will the attention of a split mind. It cannot be emphasized |
C:18.18 | occurs in time. Thus transformation and miracles need to | work hand-in-hand. |
C:28.4 | in such a way as to cause an evolutionary step, it would not | work. Thus we must concentrate on wisdom, the wisdom of the heart. |
C:28.7 | You would think of this as the time of | work being done. This it is, but without the drudgery of time spent. |
C:29.10 | glorified falsely that which you would imitate from creation. In | work too you will find an example of this. For you all know that work |
C:29.10 | In work too you will find an example of this. For you all know that | work and service somehow go together. In many cultures has work thus |
C:29.10 | know that work and service somehow go together. In many cultures has | work thus been glorified and made to seem as if it is the proper use |
C:29.10 | is the proper use of a life. And yet, as your Father's child, your | work is as His. Your work is that of creation. Your creation is your |
C:29.10 | a life. And yet, as your Father's child, your work is as His. Your | work is that of creation. Your creation is your service to the world |
C:29.10 | Your creation is your service to the world as your Father's | work is his service to you. As you cannot imagine God toiling, so you |
C:29.12 | It is extremely important for you to realize that God's | work takes place outside of time, as do all acts of true service or |
C:29.14 | your life into designated pieces giving yourself time for | work and time for leisure and seeing them not as the same thing. Life |
C:30.2 | here. When you learn in order to contribute something to your | work and your world, you bypass your Self. |
C:31.6 | that fulfills this function, yet this brain is also you. Does it | work independently from you? Is it separate? Is it the same? |

T1:1.7 | return. Now, in order to complete your return, mind and heart must | work as one. |
T1:6.4 | Prayer and miracles | work hand-in-hand once both are seen for what they are. Do not forget |
T1:9.12 | allowed the coming of guidance, males and females both have begun to | work with the parts of themselves over which the ego has the least |
T2:3.1 | was created. All of it. It exists, fully realized within you. Your | work here is to express it. You are far more than your life here. You |
T2:4.3 | A Course in Miracles and A Course of Love | work hand-in-hand because the change of thinking taught within A |
T2:4.10 | Thus a first step in our | work with regard to calling is recognizing the dualistic nature of |
T2:6.5 | to time? You might think of being accomplished as all of your | work being done. If there is no work to be done, nothing for you to |
T2:6.5 | of being accomplished as all of your work being done. If there is no | work to be done, nothing for you to do, for what do you need time? |
T2:7.6 | independence is a far better state than that of dependence. It will | work diligently to convince you that any course that tries to take |
T2:10.1 | You would have to | work mightily to turn the lessons of this Course into a tool, but |
T2:10.1 | of this Course into a tool, but many of you will not tire of this | work until you succeed. This is how truths become dogma and dogma |
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 |
T3:1.3 | you see. A true representation of the Self that you are is what we | work toward in this Treatise and will lead to true vision and to a |
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 | down and those inside be held within illusion no more. This was the | work of many who came before you but the time of such work, for you, |
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. |
T3:12.2 | the time of consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin our | work with the personal self while also realizing that the personal |
T3:12.4 | before, is the miracle. This miracle is the goal toward which we now | work. |
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? Many will. Will an end to suffering be what you | work toward? No. This is not your work. This is not about your |
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 |
T4:9.2 | to an end. For this end to learning is the goal toward which we now | work. |
T4:9.3 | a mystical nature. You have tried drugs or hypnosis, meditation or | work with energy. You have read and listened and been enthralled by |
T4:10.7 | What we | work toward now is to advance from learning and producing things and |
T4:12.17 | continue to advance learned wisdom. Learned wisdom will tell you to | work hard. Learned wisdom will tell you that the strong survive, the |
T4:12.21 | language, another imperative creation with which to begin our new | work is that of new patterns. The patterns of old were patterns |
D:1.10 | To die to the personal self is not what is required any longer as we | work instead to elevate the personal self. This elevation occurs |
D:1.27 | Thus we | work now toward acceptance of what you have learned in unity. We work |
D:1.27 | we work now toward acceptance of what you have learned in unity. We | work towards your acceptance of sanity and your rejection of |
D:1.27 | towards your acceptance of sanity and your rejection of insanity. We | work together in love and unity for what can only be received in the |
D:2.1 | and left behind your effort to “learn” this Course, began the | work that is being continued here, the work of replacing the old |
D:2.1 | this Course, began the work that is being continued here, the | work of replacing the old patterns of learning with the new pattern |
D:2.10 | proper now to deny the modes of learning, even when they seemed to | work for you in the past. That they seemed to work is the illusion |
D:2.10 | when they seemed to work for you in the past. That they seemed to | work is the illusion that will give way as you deny yourself access |
D:2.11 | 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:2.11 | to be you call it a failure. You admit that what you thought would | work did not work. |
D:2.11 | it a failure. You admit that what you thought would work did not | work. |
D:2.12 | counted on. When a pattern of thought or behavior has been found to | work in more cases than not, it is clung to as a “sure thing”—a |
D:2.13 | have 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 | or desirable even though the systems and patterns are known not to | work. In truth, no new learning or new systems based on the learning |
D:2.19 | learning or new systems based on the learning patterns of old will | work. Thus we begin anew. |
D:2.20 | desire to learn anew. You would say, “If the justice system doesn't | work, let's fix it.” You would say, “If the old way doesn't work, |
D:2.20 | doesn't work, let's fix it.” You would say, “If the old way doesn't | work, teach me a new way.” You would say, “I will work hard to learn |
D:2.20 | 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 tell me |
D:2.23 | of the new and denial of the old is the necessary forerunner of our | work together in establishing the Covenant of the New? |
D:3.3 | not meaningless. You are the ushers, the pioneers of the new. Your | work, as will be often repeated, is to accept the new, and deny or |
D:3.4 | words such as victory and triumph, words unusual to the body of this | work but words that will become usual in our normal conversation in |
D:3.8 | of form so that the Self and the elevated Self of form are able to | work with ideas birthed from the same source. |
D:3.12 | as one is now the nature of the elevated Self of form, and what we | work toward through this dialogue is your full awareness of what this |
D:4.22 | If you have imprisoned yourself in order to earn a living by doing | work that brings you no joy and allows you not to be who you are, |
D:6.2 | of the properties of the false that aided your learning may now | work as a detriment to your acceptance as you cling to ideas |
D:7.28 | that you consider partially yours. You have a route to and from your | work or other places that you go, where you see familiar landmarks, |
D:7.29 | just as the territory of your body is shared with those who live and | work nearby. This territory of conscious awareness exists within the |
D:9.8 | remember your newness and the different aim toward which we now | work. The aims we clearly embraced together when you were still a |
D:10.2 | or calling. You may believe that teaching and learning appropriately | work with and enable the use of abilities such as these, but you also |
D:10.3 | Such it is. But when you also think that it is your hard | work and diligence, your effort and struggle, that bring the |
D:10.4 | expression exists in the realm of time and space and involves the | work and time of your form in your form's separate reality, is not of |
D:10.4 | forth of the accomplishment that already exists in unity is your new | work, the work of the Self of union, the work that can fill you with |
D:10.4 | accomplishment that already exists in unity is your new work, the | work of the Self of union, the work that can fill you with the true |
D:10.4 | exists in unity is your new work, the work of the Self of union, the | work that can fill you with the true joy of true accomplishment, |
D:10.4 | with the true joy of true accomplishment, because it is your real | work—work with what is. |
D:10.4 | the true joy of true accomplishment, because it is your real work— | work with what is. |
D:10.5 | Working with what is in unity is not | work but relationship. You are called to realize your relationship |
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 |

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:9.29 | you will understand that you are not obeying the laws of this | world, but that the laws you are obeying work. “The good is what |
Tx:9.37 | Could you but accept one of them, you would not want anything the | world has to offer. Everything else would be totally meaningless. |
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:12.69 | the light and render you unwilling to question the value that this | world can really hold for you. |
Tx:12.71 | through outer worlds. However holy his perception may become, no | world outside himself holds his inheritance. Within himself he has |
Tx:12.74 | lead you safely through all dangers to your peace of mind that this | world sets before you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and |
Tx:12.75 | the only real need to be fulfilled in time. Salvation from the | world lies only here. My peace I give you. Take it of me in glad |
Tx:12.75 | My peace I give you. Take it of me in glad exchange for all the | world has offered but to take away. And we will spread it like a veil |
Tx:12.75 | the world's sad face, in which we hide our brothers from the | world, and it from them. |
Tx:13.1 | belongs to the sphere of knowledge and which therefore no one in the | world knows. It would indeed be impossible to be in the world with |
Tx:13.1 | one in the world knows. It would indeed be impossible to be in the | world with this knowledge. For the mind that knows this unequivocally |
Tx:13.5 | bringing healed and healing sight into the darkness and enabling the | world to see. For light must come into the darkened world to make |
Tx:13.5 | and enabling the world to see. For light must come into the darkened | world to make Christ's vision possible even here. Help Him to give |
Tx:13.9 | As miracles in this | world join you to your brothers, so do your creations establish your |
Tx:13.10 | Yet in this | world, your perfection is unwitnessed. God knows it, but you do |
Tx:13.13 | The | world can give you only what you gave it, for being nothing but your |
Tx:13.27 | The Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark | world where pain is pressing everywhere upon him from without. When |
Tx:13.37 | There is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this | world has ever brought even a dim imagining of what it is. |
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:13.47 | Yes, you are blessed indeed. Yet in this | world, you do not know it. But you have the means for learning it and |
Tx:13.49 | had been done unto you? Indirect proof of truth is needed in a | world made of denial and without direction. You will perceive the |
Tx:13.49 | realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of the | world must therefore lead to nothing, for its goal is nothing. |
Tx:13.50 | closed off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane | world, and do not underestimate the actual extent of its insanity. |
Tx:13.51 | the Source of their undoing is in him. There is nothing in the | world to teach him that the logic of the world is totally insane and |
Tx:13.51 | There is nothing in the world to teach him that the logic of the | world is totally insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who made |
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:14.2 | Father loves you, for there is no parallel in your experience of the | world to help you understand it. There is nothing on earth with which |
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:14.8 | here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the | world of separation slip away and full communication be restored |
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 | of limitlessness, for the world you seem to live in is a | world of limits. In this world, it is not true that anything without |

Tx:14.47 | and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who brings the laws of another | world to this one. The miracle is the one thing you can do that |
Tx:15.20 | and glittering brilliance, which will literally blind you to this | world by its own vision, you cannot supply. And here it is, all in |
Tx:15.22 | in place of magnitude, and you accepted it. Everything in this | world is little because it is a world made out of littleness in the |
Tx:15.22 | accepted it. Everything in this world is little because it is a | world made out of littleness in the strange belief that littleness |
Tx:15.22 | littleness can content you. When you strive for anything in this | world with the belief that it will bring you peace, you are |
Tx:15.25 | for it does require vigilance to protect your magnitude in this | world. To hold your magnitude in perfect awareness in a world of |
Tx:15.25 | in this world. To hold your magnitude in perfect awareness in a | world of littleness is a task the little cannot undertake. Yet it is |
Tx:15.27 | in perfect safety in your minds, untouched by every little gift the | world of littleness would offer you. But for this, you cannot side |
Tx:15.29 | season (Christmas), which celebrates the birth of holiness into this | world, join with me, who decided for holiness for you. It is our |
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:17.11 | The real | world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the |
Tx:17.11 | world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the | world you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of |
Tx:17.11 | undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made this | world and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your making it. In |
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:17.12 | and a blade of grass a sign of God's perfection. From the forgiven | world, the Son of God is lifted easily into his home. And there he |
Tx:17.13 | How much do you want salvation? It will give you the real | world, trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of |
Tx:17.13 | to meet with your Redeemer and walk with him in trust out of this | world and into the real world of beauty and forgiveness. |
Tx:17.13 | and walk with him in trust out of this world and into the real | world of beauty and forgiveness. |
Tx:17.25 | value more. The spark of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real | world or the world of guilt and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or |
Tx:17.25 | The spark of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real world or the | world of guilt and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it |
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 | Does not a | world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this |
Tx:18.14 | a world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this | world is. It is clearly not the world you saw before you slept. |
Tx:18.14 | in dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is clearly not the | world you saw before you slept. Rather, it is a distortion of the |
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:18.15 | in them becomes apparent. Yet they are a way of looking at the | world and changing it to suit the ego better. They provide striking |
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 | In your relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real | world—the world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy and |
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. |
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:21.18 | its weakness. You must perceive that what is strong enough to make a | world can let it go and can accept correction if it is willing to see |
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:21.50 | own control and far more powerful than you. And you will think the | world you made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. |
Tx:21.60 | other innocent. Who looks upon himself as guilty and sees a sinless | world? And who can see a sinful world and look upon himself apart |
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:21.81 | little glint of sin attracts you. And you can want to see a sinless | world and let an “enemy” tempt you to use the body's eyes and change |
Tx:21.82 | are the same. For each one asks if you are willing to exchange the | world of sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the |
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:21.82 | adds the wish for constancy in your desire to see the real | world, so the desire becomes the only one you have. By answering |
Tx:22.2 | nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they wander through a | world of strangers unlike themselves, living with their bodies |
Tx:22.2 | a common roof that shelters neither—in the same room and yet a | world apart. |
Tx:22.6 | describe, you think is you. Reason would tell you that the | world you see through eyes which are not yours must make no sense |
Tx:22.6 | whose sight is wholly independent of the eyes which look upon the | world. If this is not your vision, what can it show to you? The brain |
Tx:22.7 | called upon this thing to lead you, asking it to explain to you the | world it sees, you have no reason not to listen nor to suspect that |
Tx:22.7 | understand it. God has no secrets. He does not lead you through a | world of misery, waiting to tell you at the journey's end why He did |
Tx:22.8 | dependent on the self you think you made to lead you through the | world it made for you. |
Tx:22.17 | how could joy be found in misery? All that is possible in the dark | world of misery is to select some aspects out of it, see them as |
Tx:22.23 | time you can command. You are no more a slave to time than to the | world you made. |
Tx:22.27 | has been reborn to light His home with vision that overlooks the | world. Would you not have this holy home be yours as well? No misery |
Tx:22.32 | For here is its own stability, its heavy anchor in the shifting | world it made—the rock on which its church is built and where its |
Tx:22.40 | of Christ will light your faces and shine from them into a darkened | world that needs the light. And from this holy place He will return |
Tx:22.42 | everything that seems to rise between you. So shall you walk the | world with me, whose message has not yet been given to everyone. For |
Tx:22.43 | be lifted from their minds are this world's saviors, walking the | world with their Redeemer and carrying His message of hope and |
Tx:22.58 | the attacker who he thought was there. Through this releasing is the | world released. This is your part in bringing peace. For you have |
Tx:22.59 | for everyone. Each little gift you offer to the other lights up the | world. Be not concerned with darkness; look away from it and toward |
Tx:22.60 | On your learning depends the welfare of the | world. And it is only arrogance that would deny the power of your |
Tx:23.4 | can be no attraction of guilt in innocence. Think what a happy | world you walk with truth beside you! Do not give up this world of |
Tx:23.4 | a happy world you walk with truth beside you! Do not give up this | world of freedom for a little sigh of seeming sin nor for a tiny |
Tx:23.5 | little and the weak about him? Who can walk trembling in a fearful | world and realize that Heaven's glory shines on him? |
Tx:23.6 | to understand all that is given you. In kind forgiveness will the | world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought sinful now |
Tx:23.6 | How beautiful it is to walk clean and redeemed and happy through a | world in bitter need of the redemption that your innocence bestows |
Tx:23.14 | nothing cannot win reality through battle. Why would you fill your | world with conflicts with yourself? Let all this madness be undone |
Tx:23.19 | meaningless and to attack the truth. Here are the laws that rule the | world you made. And yet they govern nothing and need not be broken; |
Tx:23.28 | of the enemy, they would respond with only kindness. But in a savage | world, the kind cannot survive, so they must take or else be taken |
Tx:23.31 | believe you walk in sanity, with feet on solid ground and through a | world where meaning can be found, consider this: [These are the |
Tx:24.6 | On its behalf they fight against the universe, for nothing in the | world they value more. |

Tx:24.28 | suits you not, or an event that you did not anticipate upsets your | world and hurls it into chaos. Truth is not frail. Illusions leave it |
Tx:24.32 | The special ones are all asleep, surrounded by a | world of loveliness they do not see. Freedom and peace and joy stand |
Tx:24.34 | is now redemption, and salvation can only mean destruction of the | world, except yourself. |
Tx:24.39 | you remain beyond salvation. Only this is certain in this shifting | world which has no meaning in reality: when peace is not with you |
Tx:24.49 | Before your brother's holiness the | world is still and peace descends on it in gentleness and blessing so |
Tx:24.51 | and look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you before the | world began and as He knows you still. God changes not His Mind about |
Tx:24.51 | brother is as He created him. And it is this that saves you from a | world that He created not. |
Tx:24.52 | Forget not that the healing of God's Son is all the | world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit sees in it |
Tx:24.52 | see the healing of the Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the | world, by time, and all appearances, you will not know the Father nor |
Tx:24.52 | you will not know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the | world for what is not its purpose and will not escape its laws of |
Tx:24.53 | behold in him the whole reversal of the laws that seem to rule this | world. See in his freedom yours, for such it is. Let not his |
Tx:24.62 | How bitterly does everyone tied to this | world defend the specialness he wants to be the truth! His wish is |
Tx:25.6 | Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to be—the | world you want to live in and the state in which you think your mind |
Tx:25.8 | Christ, to make the oneness clear to what is really one. In this | world, this is not understood but can be taught. |
Tx:25.12 | Perhaps you fancy to attain some peace and satisfaction in the | world as you perceive it. Yet it must be evident the outcome does not |
Tx:25.13 | that you should cherish still some hope of satisfaction from the | world you see? In no respect at any time or place has anything but |
Tx:25.14 | seen, that hopefulness is warranted on grounds that are not in this | world? And yet your hope that they may still be here prevents you |
Tx:25.23 | extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a | world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which you |
Tx:25.23 | up and offer it support. This is perception's form adapted to this | world of God's more basic law that love creates itself and nothing |
Tx:25.24 | God's laws do not obtain directly to a | world perception rules, for such a world could not have been created |
Tx:25.24 | laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for such a | world could not have been created by the Mind to which perception has |
Tx:25.24 | has no meaning. Yet are His laws reflected everywhere. Not that the | world where this reflection is, is real at all. Only because His Son |
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 | still His Son, even in error. There is another purpose in the | world that error made because it has another Maker Who can reconcile |
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:25.27 | they could never be, and you agree, then must the Maker of the | world correct your error, lest you remain in darkness where the lamps |
Tx:25.28 | for you to see the workings of the Helper given you to see the | world He made, instead of yours. |
Tx:25.29 | brings release from the belief there are two ways to see. This | world has much to offer to your peace and many chances to extend your |
Tx:25.30 | The Maker of the | world of gentleness has perfect power to offset the world of violence |
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:25.31 | your choice. But recognize that in this choice the purpose of the | world you see is chosen and will be justified. |
Tx:25.34 | You makers of a | world that is not so, take rest and comfort in another world where |
Tx:25.34 | makers of a world that is not so, take rest and comfort in another | world where peace abides. This world you bring with you to all the |
Tx:25.34 | so, take rest and comfort in another world where peace abides. This | world you bring with you to all the weary eyes and tired hearts that |
Tx:25.34 | its sad refrain. From you can come their rest. From you can rise a | world they will rejoice to look upon and where their hearts are glad. |
Tx:25.34 | them and covers them in gentleness and light. And in this widening | world of light, the darkness they thought was there is pushed away |
Tx:25.35 | Those who offer peace to everyone have found a home in Heaven the | world cannot destroy. For it is large enough to hold the world within |
Tx:25.35 | Heaven the world cannot destroy. For it is large enough to hold the | world within its peace. |
Tx:25.36 | nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you bring to all the | world and all the thoughts that entered it and were mistaken for a |
Tx:25.36 | to bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond the | world of darkness into light? |
Tx:25.43 | on speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in the | world to fear, and no one who is different from himself. And as he |
Tx:25.45 | be lonely, for the lonely ones are those who see no function in the | world for them to fill, no place where they are needed, and no aim |
Tx:25.46 | fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself complete within a | world where incompletion rules. |
Tx:25.47 | But when it rests on all, it is complete and every function of this | world completed with it. Then is time no more. |
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:26.6 | been lost. Hear then the song your brother sings to you. And let the | world recede and take the rest his witness offers on behalf of peace. |
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:27.78 | which it has bought with little metal discs or paper strips the | world proclaims as valuable and good. It works to get them, doing |
Tx:27.79 | from the time of birth to dying is the theme of every dream the | world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never change nor |
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 |
Tx:31.96 | from tiny scattered threads of melody to one inclusive chorus from a | world redeemed from hell and giving thanks to You. |

W1:13.1 | is more specific as to the emotion aroused. Actually, a meaningless | world is impossible. Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does |
W1:13.3 | fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you will endow the | world with attributes which it does not possess and crowd it with |
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 |

W1:23.2 | 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 |

W2:338.1 | It needs but this to let salvation come to all the | world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from |
W2:340.1 | all suffering. Thanks for today, my Father. I was born into this | world but to achieve this day and what it holds in joy and freedom |
W2:340.1 | and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the | world he made, which is released along with him today. |

W2:345.2 | today. The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired | world. It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have |

W2:WAI.4 | Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vision sees a | world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear |
W2:WAI.4 | of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice of God proclaim the | world as sinless. Ours the minds which join together as we bless the |
W2:WAI.4 | world as sinless. Ours the minds which join together as we bless the | world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our |
W2:351.1 | myself a sinner, not a Son of God, alone and friendless in a fearful | world. Yet this perception is a choice I make and can relinquish. I |
W2:359.1 | Father, today we will forgive Your | world and let creation be Your own. We have misunderstood all things. |
W2:359.1 | forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow | world we see. Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. Help us |
W2:360.1 | else can certainty be found. Peace be to me and peace to all the | world. In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. |
W2:FL.1 | For we would not return again to the belief in sin, which made the | world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in |
W2:FL.3 | the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the | world. It is the goal that God has given us. It is His ending to the |

M:I.1 | of teaching and learning is actually reversed in the thinking of the | world. The reversal is characteristic. It seems as if the teacher and |
M:I.4 | himself that he is what he is not. Herein is the purpose of the | world. What else, then, would its curriculum be? Into this hopeless |
M:I.5 | for God's teachers, there would be no hope of salvation, for the | world of sin would seem forever “real.” The self-deceiving must |

M:1.2 | They come from all over the | world. They come from all religions and from no religion. They are |
M:1.2 | everywhere. It calls for teachers to speak for it and redeem the | world. Many hear it, but few will answer. But it is all a matter of |
M:1.2 | be limited. And each one saves a thousand years of time as the | world judges it. To the Call itself, time has no meaning. |

M:1.3 | own salvation and the salvation of the world. In his rebirth is the | world reborn. |

M:1.4 | God? But time, with its illusions of change and death, wears out the | world and all things in it. Yet time has an ending, and it is this |

M:4.3 | effect are never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the | world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the |
M:4.3 | world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the | world made up. It is governed by a Power Which is in them but not of |
M:4.3 | It is through this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven | world. |
M:4.6 | helpful that any degree of reality should be accorded them in this | world of illusion. The word “value” can apply to nothing else. |
M:4.12 | never do their will alone. They choose for all mankind, for all the | world and all things in it, for the unchanging and unchangeable |
M:4.18 | for without trust, no one can be generous in the true sense. To the | world, generosity means “giving away” in the sense of “giving up.” To |
M:4.18 | the workbook, but it is perhaps more alien to the thinking of the | world than many other ideas in our curriculum. Its greater |
M:4.18 | the word means the exact opposite to the teachers of God and to the | world. |
M:4.19 | out of self-interest. This does not refer, however, to the self the | world speaks of. The teacher of God does not want anything he cannot |
M:4.20 | as well held no mistakes—nothing that did not serve to benefit the | world as well as him to whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not |
M:4.21 | give up all problems to one Answer is to reverse the thinking of the | world entirely. And that alone is faithfulness. Nothing but that |
M:4.24 | that would prevent forgiveness. They have in truth abandoned the | world and let it be restored to them in newness and in joy so |
M:4.25 | It is the function of God's teachers to bring true learning to the | world. Properly speaking it is unlearning that they bring, for that |
M:4.25 | it is unlearning that they bring, for that is “true learning” in the | world. It is given to the teachers of God to bring the glad tidings |
M:4.25 | of God to bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the | world. Blessed indeed are they, for they are the bringers of |
M:5.4 | to recognizing this is enormous, because the existence of the | world as we perceive it depends on the body being the decision-maker. |
M:5.7 | in one respect, and the learning will generalize and transform the | world. The transfer value of one true idea has no end nor limit. The |
M:8.3 | do all these differences come from? Certainly they seem to be in the | world outside. Yet it is surely the mind that judges what the eyes |
M:8.3 | and gives them “meaning.” And this meaning does not exist in the | world outside at all. What is seen as “reality” is simply what the |
M:8.4 | all differences rests, because it is on this that judgments of the | world depend. Can this confused and senseless “reasoning” be depended |
M:8.6 | the messages the mind receives from what appears to be the outside | world. And of these two, but one is real. Just as reality is wholly |
M:9.2 | achieving a goal in direct opposition to that of our curriculum. The | world trains for reliance on one's judgment as the criterion for |
M:10.1 | Judgment, like other devices by which the | world of illusions is maintained, is totally misunderstood by the |
M:10.1 | world of illusions is maintained, is totally misunderstood by the | world. It is actually confused with wisdom and substitutes for truth. |
M:10.1 | is actually confused with wisdom and substitutes for truth. As the | world uses the term, an individual is capable of “good” and “bad” |
M:11.1 | resurrection must occur, and that rebirth is man's inheritance. The | world you see cannot be the world God loves, and yet His Word assures |
M:11.1 | that rebirth is man's inheritance. The world you see cannot be the | world God loves, and yet His Word assures us that He loves the world. |
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:11.1 | looked at differently if His promises are to be accepted. What the | world is, is but a fact. You cannot choose what this should be. But |
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:11.2 | the inevitable end of life. God's Word assures you that He loves the | world; your judgment says it is unlovable. Who is right? For one of |
M:11.3 | ununderstandable made understandable. How is peace possible in this | world? In your judgment it is not possible and can never be possible. |
M:11.4 | to those who offer peace. How easily, then, is your judgment of the | world escaped! It is not the world that makes peace seem impossible. |
M:11.4 | easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped! It is not the | world that makes peace seem impossible. It is the world you see that |
M:11.4 | It is not the world that makes peace seem impossible. It is the | world you see that is impossible. Yet has God's Judgment on this |
M:11.4 | you see that is impossible. Yet has God's Judgment on this distorted | world redeemed it and made it fit to welcome peace. And peace |
M:11.4 | question different. It is no longer, “Can peace be possible in this | world?” but instead, “Is it not impossible that peace be absent here?” |
M:12.4 | will carry to the mind of the hearer messages which are not of this | world, and the mind will understand because of their Source. From |

M:13.1 | things of this world. What could this be but an illusion, since this | world itself is nothing more than that? |
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:13.2 | terms that does not involve the body. Think a while about what the | world calls sacrifice. Power, fame, money, physical pleasure—who is |
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 | for here there is need of Him indeed. He brings the ending of the | world with Him. It is His Call God's teachers answer, turning to Him |
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:14.4 | still seem sensible. The final lesson which brings the ending of the | world cannot be grasped by those not yet prepared to leave the world |
M:14.4 | the world cannot be grasped by those not yet prepared to leave the | world and go beyond its tiny reach. What, then, is the function of |

M:14.5 | of sorrow. 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 |
M:14.5 | is a place of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the | world? The world will end in laughter because it is a place of tears. |
M:14.5 | of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? The | world will end in laughter because it is a place of tears. Where |
M:14.5 | weep? And only complete forgiveness brings all this to bless the | world. In blessing it departs, for it will not end as it began. To |
M:15.1 | him. He will hear his sinlessness proclaimed around and around the | world, setting it free as God's Final Judgment on him is received. |
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:19.3 | it very dear. Selectively and arbitrarily is every concept of the | world built up in just this way. “Sins” are perceived and justified |
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:20.5 | because you have decided that death ends life. Forgive the | world, and you will understand that everything which God created |
M:21.3 | The prayer for things of this | world will bring experiences of this world. If the prayer of the |
M:21.3 | The prayer for things of this world will bring experiences of this | world. If the prayer of the heart asks for this, this will be given |
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:26.1 | from the world. And it is this that enables others to leave the | world with them. Alone they are nothing. But in their joining is the |
M:26.3 | of God may have a brief experience of direct union with God. In this | world, it is almost impossible that this endure. It can, perhaps, be |
M:27.1 | more carefully. It is the one fixed, unchangeable belief of the | world that all things in it are born only to die. This is regarded as |
M:27.2 | he has denied that life is real. Death has become life's symbol. His | world is now a battleground where contradiction reigns and opposites |
M:27.4 | this is possible. There is either a god of fear or One of Love. The | world attempts a thousand compromises and will attempt a thousand |
M:27.5 | is no point at which the contrast between the perception of the real | world and that of the world of illusions becomes more sharply |
M:27.5 | contrast between the perception of the real world and that of the | world of illusions becomes more sharply evident. Death is indeed the |
M:27.6 | will be death.” Of course! Without the idea of death, there is no | world. All dreams will end with this one. This is salvation's final |
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 |
M:28.3 | remains unanswered or incomplete? The last illusion spreads over the | world, forgiving all things and replacing all attack. The whole |
M:28.3 | How quickly will it come as it is asked to enter and envelop such a | world! |
M:28.4 | upon our perfect sinlessness. The song of Heaven sounds around the | world, as it is lifted up and brought to truth. |
M:29.3 | usurping of functions not your own is the basis of fear. The whole | world you see reflects the illusion you have done so, making fear |
M:29.4 | that belief to it. Such is your teaching and the teaching of the | world which was made to uphold it. But the Teacher Who knows the |

C:1.14 | of this world that causes it, is to turn your back on the real | world and all that has meaning in it. In this you think correctly. |
C:1.14 | It is the only way you see to prove your power and control over a | world of chaos. To not engage in the chaos at all is seen not as |
C:1.15 | This is what you have made this | world for: to prove your separate existence in a world apart from |
C:1.15 | you have made this world for: to prove your separate existence in a | world apart from your Creator. This world does not exist. And you do |
C:1.15 | your separate existence in a world apart from your Creator. This | world does not exist. And you do not exist apart from your Creator. |
C:1.16 | What could cause you to yearn for love in a loveless | world? By what means do you continue to recognize that love is at the |
C:1.18 | painful or angry are of fear. This is all there is. This is the | world you make. Love or fear is your reality by your choice. A choice |
C:1.18 | creates fear. What choice do you think has been made to create the | world you call your home? This world was created by your choice, and |
C:1.18 | you think has been made to create the world you call your home? This | world was created by your choice, and a new world can be created by a |
C:1.18 | you call your home? This world was created by your choice, and a new | world can be created by a new choice. But you must realize that this |
C:2.8 | and is of no consequence. Still others put on blinders to the | world and seek only to make their corner of it more safe and secure. |
C:2.9 | The insanity of your thought process and the | world you perceive must be made known to you before you are willing |
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:3.13 | heart, concepts much more in line with learning that is not of this | world. |
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:4.9 | Love is all that follows the law of God in your | world. All else assumes that what one has is denied another. While |
C:4.14 | your real Self in hiding. How dangerous indeed is such an act in a | world where trust can turn to treachery. |
C:4.17 | reverse to be the case, and are grateful for each acknowledgment the | world gives you for the ways in which you spend your days. For spend |
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:4.24 | brought to love. But love can allow a new world to be seen, a | world that will allow you to abide within love's presence. |
C:4.25 | made and extend them outside love's doors. What difference would a | world of love make to those who lock their doors upon the world? How |
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:4.27 | it will fade away into the nothingness from which it came as a new | world rises up to take its place. |
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:20.15 | God's heartbeat is the Source of the world, the Soul of the | world, the Sound of the world in harmony, existence with no beginning |
C:20.15 | is the Source of the world, the Soul of the world, the Sound of the | world in harmony, existence with no beginning and no end. One |
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:20.23 | Let yourself forget that you do not feel holy and that the | world does not appear to be sacred. Let your heart remember that you |
C:20.23 | to be sacred. Let your heart remember that you are holy and that the | world is sacred. A thousand things can pull you from your |
C:20.25 | in gratitude for the all that you are. You are the beauty of the | world and peace abides within you. |
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:20.44 | in thinking, feeling, and acting. It will immediately make the | world a kinder, gentler place. And it is only a beginning. |
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:20.47 | expansion unrealistic. You cannot do everything. You cannot effect | world peace. You can barely keep your personal concerns in order. |
C:21.4 | of your use of concepts. Concepts have been used to order your | world and to assist your mind in keeping track of all that is in it. |
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:22.10 | the layers of the onion than the globe, with everything within your | world needing to pass through layers with a seeming lack of purpose |
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 | Suffering is seen as a condition of this world because the | world is seen as a world in which who you are can never be |
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 |
T2:3.2 | the trunk and release it to the world—to your world—to the human | world. As I have said, in the realm of unity where your being |
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,” |
T3:2.8 | righteous work of many who have caused great harm to others and the | world. There is no truth to be found in illusion and so no |
T3:5.6 | that he would even allow the death of his only son to redeem the | world. |
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. |
T3:14.11 | to choose, this is what will continue to be evidenced in your | world. This is the only act you can choose worthy of being called |
T3:14.11 | or sister would not give up bitterness in order to usher in a | world of peace, would you not think this a selfish act? |
T3:14.14 | the birth of Christ in you and in your willingness to live in the | world as the Christ-Self. |
T3:16.2 | to this calling. You do not need to struggle to create the new | world you are called to create. You do not need to have a plan and |
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 |
T3:16.14 | to do good and be good, to help others, and to struggle to make the | world a better place, fall into this category. Your notions of |
T3:17.5 | through the learning of untruth in the mechanism of time, to the | world in which you now exist. It may seem ridiculous to say that the |
T3:18.10 | system. The thought system of the truth realizes that the external | world is but a reflection of the internal world. Thus you can observe |
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 |
T3:20.14 | suffering of the world call you from it. When these things of the | world threaten to call you from your peace, you must remind yourself |
T3:20.18 | You are as pioneers to this new | world. Its mere existence will attract others and each will find the |
T3:20.18 | is one you might have freely chosen. Your task is to create the new | world and make it observable, not for you to recruit others to it. |
T3:21.15 | to do with beliefs is linked to your thoughts and ideas about the | world you live in and the “type” of person you feel you have chosen |
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 |
T3:21.16 | knowing your brothers and sisters, those whose personal selves and | world view cannot help but be different than your own—those whose |
T3:21.21 | The time when a single baby born of a virgin mother could change the | world has passed. The world is quite simply bigger now and the |
T3:21.21 | baby born of a virgin mother could change the world has passed. The | world is quite simply bigger now and the identities of your personal |
T3:22.2 | to represent not only their true Selves but this Course to the | world. If this had not been the case, you would not be taking this |
T3:22.12 | Linking the words creative and tension is caused by the dualistic | world in which you have lived, a world wherein a lag time exists |
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 | in a separate category, a category that only exists in the dualistic | world of illusion where here and now is separate from what will be. |
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 |
T3:22.13 | here and now is separate from what will be. In the new world, the | world where truth reigns, there is no cause for tension for there is |
T3:22.13 | where truth reigns, there is no cause for tension for there is no | world of illusion where what is, is separate from what will be. |
T3:22.14 | the very miracle that closes the door of duality, and seals out the | world where what is, is separated from what will be by your effort |
T4:1.14 | If Jesus Christ were the chosen one, his life would have changed the | world. If the Israelites were the chosen people, so much calamity |
T4:1.15 | and bring you the certainty that is needed to create the new | world is an understanding of creation and your role within it, both |
T4:1.22 | You have felt this shift coming and so has the | world. This is the yearning we have spoken of as the proof of love's |
T4:1.23 | While the state of the | world and the people within it may not outwardly seem much changed |
T4:1.23 | the people within it may not outwardly seem much changed from the | world of your ancestors despite the advances of learning that have |
T4:1.23 | the advances of learning that have taken place, it is a different | world. You have not known the secret yearning in the hearts of your |
T4:1.24 | All across the | world, people of the world have been demanding to learn directly, |
T4:1.24 | All across the world, people of the | world have been demanding to learn directly, through experience, and |
T4:1.28 | This is the truth of the state of the | world in which you exist today. |
T4:2.22 | the joining of heart and mind, joins the physical and the spiritual | world in a relationship of which you can be more and more steadily |
T4:2.23 | others. You have watched the news and developments in parts of the | world far away from you and at times are aware of ecological and |
T4:2.23 | are likely to have an impact on your life or on your part of the | world. But unless you believe in the ability for what happens to have |
T4:2.27 | it speaks. The separated state of the mind created its own separate | world. Cause and effect are one. The perceived state of separation |
T4:2.27 | state of separation created the perceived state of a separate | world. The real state of union, returned to you through the joining |
T4:2.33 | create anew. Creating anew is the precursor of the coming of the new | world. Remember, only from a shared vision of what is can you begin |
T4:3.6 | your most loving image of God, having brought a child into a fearful | world, became subject to the tests of time. Thus did the world become |
T4:3.6 | a fearful world, became subject to the tests of time. Thus did the | world become a world of effort with all things in it and beyond it, |
T4:3.6 | became subject to the tests of time. Thus did the world become a | world of effort with all things in it and beyond it, including God, |
T4:3.7 | Now, as we reverse this set of circumstances, and replace the | world of fear with a world of love, there can be no more weighing of |
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. |
T4:3.7 | against fear's veracity. While you chose to believe and live in a | world the nature of which was fear, you could not know God. You could |
T4:3.10 | Vision will allow you to see the nature of the | world and all that exists within it truly. Observation will allow you |
T4:3.10 | 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 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 |
T4:4.17 | die? What difference would this make to your way of living or the | world in which you live? |
T4:6.3 | can create a scenario in which it appears that some live on one | world and some on another. But I say to you that any scenario that |
T4:6.7 | what you envision, imagine and desire, in love, without changing the | world and the nature of the human being any more than have those who |
T4:7.4 | of judgment. They will not seek to create their version of a perfect | world and to force it upon others, but will abide within the perfect |
T4:7.4 | world and to force it upon others, but will abide within the perfect | world that is in the vision of Christ-consciousness. This perfect |
T4:7.4 | world that is in the vision of Christ-consciousness. This perfect | world will be observable to them and in them. It will be revealed to |
T4:7.8 | choice and ensure a joyous life. These choices will change the | world. |
T4:7.9 | —the choice to move from learning to creating—will create a new | world. |
T4:10.13 | teach but 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 |
T4:10.13 | the state of learning will change the world. They will make the | world a better place and see many of their students advance beyond |
T4:10.14 | through learning but through sharing. You can learn to change the | world, but not how to create a new world. Does this not make sense? |
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 |
T4:12.12 | of the monastery, that it was time to once again move out into the | world. What he was really saying was that he saw the dawning of his |
D:1.6 | the heart is freed to dwell in the house of the Lord, the new | world, the Kingdom that has already been prepared and so needs no |
D:1.8 | ego gone, the personal self can continue to move about within the | world, a faceless and nameless entity, a being without an identity, |
D:1.14 | 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 Source of |
D:2.2 | 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 not and the |
D:2.2 | you are not and the ways of life that allowed you to live within the | world as a false self. |
D:2.18 | on a faulty design, a faulty pattern. Your misperceptions of the | world have allowed for the development of no foolproof systems |
D:2.19 | All systems have been based upon your desire to understand the | world around you rather than the world within you. If you were to |

D:2.19 | you rather than the world within you. If you were to understand the | world within, you would need no systems to understand or manage the |
D:2.19 | world within, you would need no systems to understand or manage the | world without. These systems were attempts to learn the nature of who |
D:2.19 | are through external means—the means of learning the nature of the | world around you. Thus, in the example of the justice system, you |
D:2.19 | you. Thus, in the example of the justice system, you looked at the | world and people around you and found the nature of both to be |

D:4.12 | divine patterns include the observable forms that make up your | world, everything from the planet on which you exist to the stars in |
D:4.12 | there is but one external divine pattern that created the observable | world, and only one internal divine pattern that created the internal |
D:4.12 | and only one internal divine pattern that created the internal | world. The internal divine pattern was that of learning. |
D:4.15 | developed. Through contrast, you identified and classified the | world around you based upon the differences, or contrast that you saw. |
D:4.21 | Instead see the | world anew and rejoice in it, just as you would have had you |
D:4.30 | by inviting what brings you joy. Invite yourself first to this new | world, but leave not your brothers and sisters behind. Invite them |
D:5.2 | believing in your ability to do so. You thus determined what the | world around you was meant to represent. It was in much the same way |
D:5.3 | What we are doing now is returning the | world to its true representation. As was said in “A Treatise on the |
D:5.3 | While the false representation of the ego self led to the | world you see, it did not change the truth but only created illusion. |
D:5.4 | The | world without was created as a true representation of the world |
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 |
D:5.4 | and surrounds you, the boundaries between the inner and outer | world will diminish and eventually cease to be. |
D:5.8 | a false self—it is possible to misrepresent. But the new | world you have entered need not be filled with misrepresentations, |
D:5.9 | Thus must it be now with everything in your | world. Everywhere you look the lie of false representation will be |
D:5.15 | and stars, the elevated Self of form is new and will create a new | world. |

D:6.10 | look for natural laws that govern what is in an “if this, then that” | world. |
D:6.11 | still governs your ideas about the body and the systems of the | world in which you exist. If you are no longer living in an “if this, |
D:6.11 | you exist. If you are no longer living in an “if this, then that” | world, then the same laws will naturally not apply. You developed an |
D:6.11 | laws will naturally not apply. You developed an “if this, then that” | world because it was the easiest way in which to learn. It was the |
D:6.13 | bless them for the certainty they have given you in an uncertain | world. Even if it has been a false certainty, it served a great |
D:6.15 | a learned certainty based on the fear that caused you to order the | world according to a set of facts and rules. |
D:6.17 | If you think of the “old” as a | world in which an attitude of “if this, then that” ruled, and the |
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:7.24 | secretly fears that evolution will not keep pace with the changing | world and that man's reign over his environment will come to an |
D:10.3 | these givens to, what you do with them, how you express them in the | world, is your unique and individual accomplishment. Such it is. But |
D:11.5 | individuality, do you believe you make your contributions to the | world. Your desire to make a contribution—to help to make new the |
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:11.11 | for everything, and an explanation that makes sense in terms of the | world you have always known. |
D:11.12 | of these words will never make sense within the terms of the | world you have always known. No explanation will ever be good enough |
D:11.15 | the individual, separated self to make? Is not the history of your | world filled with individual contributions of incredible scope? |
D:12.12 | until finally you will sustain Christ consciousness and live in the | world as the elevated Self of form. |
D:12.14 | Or they may be profound insights into your Self or the nature of the | world. |
D:13.5 | but you will be unable to “see” this knowing, to envision it in the | world of separation, to translate it into the language of the |
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:14.11 | “within” your Self, you enable the expansion of awareness into the | world. As within, so without. An explorer seeking a new continent to |
D:14.15 | time of becoming the new you which must precede creation of the new | world. For as it has been said: As within, so without. |
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 | Had any of the holy men and women who walked the way of the | world since my time learned, accepted, and lived the teachings that |
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:Day1.14 | obscured that love is the answer are banished, rejected, and a new | world of love accepted in their place? |
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:Day2.20 | through childhood, maturity, and with that maturity action in the | world, suffering, death, and resurrection. |
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:Day3.9 | seems non-existent in terms of who “has” and who “has not,” and the | world seems made up of haves and have nots and to function in the |
D:Day3.11 | in order to earn, learned in order to advance yourself in the | world in one way or another. Since money or abundance is not a |
D:Day3.12 | you with worry and anger. It is the idea of an “if this, then that” | world. An idea of a world in which the beliefs set forth within this |
D:Day3.12 | anger. It is the idea of an “if this, then that” world. An idea of a | world in which the beliefs set forth within this Course are neither |
D:Day3.18 | These are those who are resented most within your | world. And yet envied. This resentment and envy fills you with anger. |
D:Day3.42 | It is the visible | world, the outer world, through which your wants find provision. It |
D:Day3.42 | It is the visible world, the outer | world, through which your wants find provision. It is the world of |
D:Day3.42 | the outer world, through which your wants find provision. It is the | world of unity, the true reality, through which your desires are |
D:Day3.42 | does not interact with the place of form. It is interacting with the | world of form through you. |
D:Day3.45 | and strive, to earn and to learn, to, in short, carry on in the | world as you always have. |
D:Day3.49 | acting in accord with ideas of it being an “if this, then that” | world. You try to guess what God might want you to do, be it being |
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:Day4.15 | spoken of these things to begin to familiarize you with the “given” | world as opposed to the world of your perception, what we might call |
D:Day4.15 | to begin to familiarize you with the “given” world as opposed to the | world of your perception, what we might call a world-view attained |
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:Day9.10 | may have sprung from your reading, from descriptions of those the | world has come to see as enlightened ones. It may be linked to your |
D:Day9.22 | not bring the gift of their sameness, or of their difference, to the | world, but hold it in waiting for such a time as the ideal is reached. |
D:Day9.25 | are. A creator who desired only sameness would not have created a | world of such diversity. You are a creator who created this |
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:Day10.33 | The power of love is the cause and effect that will change the | world by returning you, and all your brothers and sisters, to who |
D:Day10.33 | It is the transformation that is caused within that will affect the | world without. |
D:Day10.36 | All of the solutions to the issues facing the | world and those who live upon it have been pursued separately from |
D:Day10.37 | You are means and end. It is within your power to be saviors of the | world. It is from within that your power will save the world. |
D:Day10.37 | of the world. It is from within that your power will save the | world. |
D:Day10.39 | the same compassion, the same tenderness for each other and the | world. This is unity. This will save us. This will save the world. |
D:Day10.39 | and the world. This is unity. This will save us. This will save the | world. |
D:Day11.2 | oneness in which we exist. This is the great paradox that unites the | world of form and the world of spirit, the world of separation with |
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 | of form and the world of spirit, the world of separation with the | world of union, even while it does not unite the world of illusion |
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:Day12.7 | All obstacles of form are only real in the world of form, a | world that is perceived rather than known. Christ-consciousness |
D:Day14.2 | The spacious Self realizes that the outer | world is a projection and most often a rejection rather than an |
D:Day14.4 | the feelings of the many can be “held” and not projected into the | world as sickness, violence, and so on, that acceptance occurs. It is |
D:Day15.11 | It is not an acceptable state for full-scale interaction with the | world. Although this power cannot be misused, to have access to this |
D:Day16.5 | are blamed on others. These manifest in your interactions with the | world, taking on form in the actions of others, in instances where |
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:Day16.6 | was not physical to begin with—was not of the physical | world—it returns to its non-physical nature within the spacious |
D:Day16.15 | existed simultaneously as did paradise and hell. This became your | world, which slowly grew from a world primarily made up of paradise |
D:Day16.15 | paradise and hell. This became your world, which slowly grew from a | world primarily made up of paradise and love, to a world primarily |
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:Day19.2 | Yet everyone has a function to fulfill in creation of the new | world. Only those who express themselves are truly content. |
D:Day19.4 | way of Mary are called to be what they want to see reflected in the | world and to the realization that this reflection is the new way of |
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 causes |
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:Day19.5 | to “do,” do not have a specific part to play in establishing the | world in which all are able to be content with who they are. |
D:Day19.6 | statement of as within, so without. By living as who you are in the | world, you create change in the world. You create change in the world |
D:Day19.6 | By living as who you are in the world, you create change in the | world. You create change in the world through relationship. All live |
D:Day19.6 | the world, you create change in the world. You create change in the | world through relationship. All live and create in relationship. |
D:Day19.6 | to the creation and anchoring of the new relationship in the new | world. Their relationship of union, upon which their contentment is |
D:Day19.8 | within, so without and the relationship between the inner and outer | world. |
D:Day19.10 | of fulfilling a specific function that will become manifest in the | world, but are required to do in the sense of receiving, sharing, and |
D:Day19.11 | to the way of Mary will “do” much that is greatly desired in the | world but what they do will be a byproduct of their way of being |
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:Day22.6 | of direct union with God. How do you let it pass through you to the | world? |
D:Day22.9 | calling you to realization of your union with God and to the new | world you can create once you accept and make real this union. |
D:Day23.3 | the illusion, surrendering the mist that was all that separated one | world from another. |
D:Day24.2 | the pregnant, the birth, and the new life. This is the way of the | world as well as the way of creation. What is unaltered remains |
D:Day27.16 | will change your experience, and your experience will change the | world. |
D:Day28.17 | thought systems that have been externalized and are part of the | world on level ground. These external systems are based, as are all |
D:Day28.17 | change, and as can be seen, this change is essential to changing the | world. |
D:Day32.15 | be all that is, or God would not be in relationship. If the natural | world around you has revealed anything to you of the nature of life |
D:Day33.2 | own being. Being in relationship. This is what you are and what your | world is. Being in relationship. |
D:Day33.4 | new way of seeing yourself—a way of seeing that will create a new | world. |
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:Day35.18 | in unity could be said to have been made rather than created. The | world as you know it is what you have made. Your life as you know it |
D:Day36.5 | be a story of how you chose to respond, day-in and day-out, to the | world around you. You, in short, created your life through chosen |
D:Day36.8 | you can create your experience you can create a new reality—a new | world? Can you not see the difference between creating as a separate |
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 |
D:Day36.10 | The difference here is all the difference in the | world. It is the difference between all and nothing in relationship |
D:Day36.10 | remained one in being with God, yet continued to relate only to a | world and to experiences you perceived as being either created by a |
D:Day36.12 | your best to live the life you've been given? All the choices in the | world save this one before you now, have made no difference to your |
D:Day37.3 | Movement nor experience exist without relationship. Thus the | world does not exist without relationship—as nothing exists without |
D:Day37.3 | foremost, by the relationship that you see yourself as having to the | world around you. Since you see yourself as separate from it, all |
D:Day37.4 | not help but be your perception since you came into being in a known | world, where you were told that you are a person with a certain name, |
D:Day37.4 | you live in a household, in a city, in a state, in a country, in a | world, wherein everything has a separate name and purpose. In a |
D:Day37.4 | the relationship you would choose to have with others and the | world around you. |
D:Day37.14 | may not. You may realize the extent to which your perception of the | world shapes your life, or you may not. |
D:Day37.26 | ideas of creation that shaped your “creation” of your separate | world spoken of early in this Course, your quest for differentiation |
D:Day39.18 | projections became separate and other than you. This is what the | world of time and space is. A world that is a projection that you |
D:Day39.18 | and other than you. This is what the world of time and space is. A | world that is a projection that you have made, a world that has the |
D:Day39.18 | and space is. A world that is a projection that you have made, a | world that has the shape and form, the character and value, the image |
D:Day39.21 | universe? Then you have been judgmental and lived in a judgmental | world. |
D:Day39.25 | Have I been a fair God? Then you have been fair and the | world has treated you fairly. |
D:Day39.45 | only union. Do not expect sainthood, only Godhood. Do not expect the | world, expect heaven. Do not expect answers, only knowing. Do not |
D:Day40.5 | are the attributes of being in relationship. You came into the | world, into form, as a being in relationship. The application of your |
D:Day40.35 | Will you be the relationship that returns love to all who share this | world with you? |
E.6 | will be so clear to you it will be as if it is the only path in the | world and you will wonder why you didn't see it all along. Expect |
E.7 | becoming there will be no becoming projected from you onto the | world. There will be no projections at all and this is why you will |
E.20 | between becoming and being. It is all the difference in the | world. It is the difference between separation and differentiation in |
E.24 | what you would have before seen as difficulties, as you encounter a | world where love still does not seem to reign, when you meet that |
E.27 | to see, experience, and share, as many of love's expressions as the | world needs to be returned, along with you, to its own Self. |
A.42 | it is time to leave the classroom and live as Who You Are in the | world. You will realize that your participation in the world as Who |
A.42 | Are in the world. You will realize that your participation in the | world as Who You Are is part of an on-going dialogue, and that it is |
A.43 | this work continues as you live and express Who You Are being in the | world. For some of you this may mean continued involvement with this |
A.44 | creation of the new will proceed and wholeness and healing renew the | world in which you live. |
A.49 | you. This is the gift you have been given and the gift you bring the | world: your own voice, the voice of Who You Are. This is not a voice |
